Sun Xiaotie looked at a pile of dice and felt confused. Needless to say, these dice must not have been tampered with. If it is mixed with your own dice, there will be no way to cheat.
If Zhao Cheng deliberately said that he was not going to play, he might just use this sentence to escape.
But if he wants to play, under the constraints of new gameplay and new gambling equipment, Sun Xiaotie no longer has the means to control the winning rate.
"How's it going?" Zhao Cheng saw Sun Xiaotie's face looking troubled, and then turned to look at the two people next to him.
The old fisherman thought for a moment and said, "Let's play a few games first!"
In the current situation, the pig was not killed, but the pig showed signs of running away. In any case, we should stabilize it first.
"According to the rules you mentioned, I'll give it a try first." The old fisherman slapped the five taels of silver directly on the table: "I bet five taels. Do you have to give me five taels to be fair?"
Sun Xiaotie knew that the old fisherman was helping him to stabilize the situation first, and he couldn't give Zhao Cheng a reason not to play. So he took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his pocket.
Zhang Yigu scraped together five taels of silver from scraps, and then the three of them looked at Zhao Cheng, because he had already lost all his money, and the old fisherman refused to lend him the money. Now let's see what he would gamble with.
Zhao Cheng took out a piece of paper from his arms and slapped it on the table: "A house deed! The price is fifty-three taels!"
This is the deed of the house just bought in the north of the city. It is authentic and valid, and Zhao Cheng's name is written on it.
Sun Xiaotie's face was filled with joy. This was the Zhao Cheng he was familiar with. As long as there was a gambling game, any house or property was a bargaining chip in his eyes and could be used for gambling at any time.
"Okay!" Sun Xiaotie took the house deed and looked at it: "Brother Cheng is brave! Let's start now!"
Everyone divided the dice on the table equally, plus Sun Xiaotie's original dice, making up five for each person, and then they shook the cups together to make a clattering sound.
"Stop! Take your hands off!" Zhao Cheng shouted, and everyone took their hands off the cup tube.
The old fisherman was the first to shout. He thought about the rules. There were four of them, and the first number had to start from five, so the old fisherman took a safer number: "Five threes."
Although there is no way to cheat the dice, there are still people. The three of them are in a group, thinking that maybe they can cooperate with each other.
Zhang Yigu continued to count: "I believe it, five to five."
Zhao Cheng directly raised the number to a high level: "Ten four!"
They have all seen the number of the dice under their own cups, and they know how many fours they have, but how many fours the other three have, and those who do not cooperate can only rely on guessing.
As for those three people like Sun Xiaotie who are cooperative, they can tell whether the other party has four or not by looking at each other through their implicit body language.
Because Zhao Cheng called high, it was Sun Xiaotie's turn next, and he would either call eleven or ten, or ten five or ten six.
So Sun Xiaotie was under a lot of pressure. The bottom of his cup was two threes, two fours, and one six.
If Zhao Cheng's five dice are all fours, plus his own two fours, there are already seven fours, and the remaining three fours are still very possible.
He glanced at the old fisherman, who seemed to carelessly pick up the teacup and drink tea, raising three fingers.
Sun Xiaotie was convinced that if the old fisherman had three fours, he would have enough for ten. Looking at Zhao Cheng's expression, relaxed and smiling, it was obvious that he was more likely to tell the truth.
"I believe it." Sun Xiaotie glanced at Zhang Yigu again, only to see Zhang Yigu clenching his fists, obviously without four.
Only then did he realize that no matter what his name was, the pressure would only be passed on to the old fisherman and Zhang Yigu. Zhao Cheng could not believe it at any time, and then the chance of winning would be high.
"Ten five!" Sun Xiaotie only added points.
Then the old fisherman could only bite the bullet and increase the amount, otherwise, if he didn't believe it, Sun Xiaotie might lose all his five taels of silver.
"Eleven fours!" The old fisherman also believed that Zhao Cheng would have more than four fours in his hand, so he chose this point.
It was Zhang Yigu's turn next, but he still had no choice but to add: "Eleven to five!"
Zhao Cheng smiled and shook his head: "I don't believe it."
When he opened the cup, he saw that Zhao Cheng had three sixes, two threes, and no four or five.
The bottom of Sun Xiaotie's cup contains two threes, two fours, and a six, but there is also no five.
Obviously, even if Zhang Yigu and the old fisherman are both five, there are only ten fives.
At the end of the round, Zhang Yigu's five taels of silver were divided among the three.
Zhao Cheng put the house deed back into his arms with a smile, now he had money.
Half an hour later, several gamblers were already losing their minds, because Zhao Cheng's words were so mysterious that he would often surprise the other three when he opened the bottom of the cup.
Sun Xiaotie lost twenty or thirty taels in the blink of an eye. The old fisherman and Zhang Yigu also had their own wins and losses, but overall they lost, and Zhao Cheng won all the money. In addition to the fact that he had deliberately lost to Zhao Cheng these days, Li Fu had almost lost enough for the two ingots of gold.
Sun Xiaotie said fiercely: "It's not enough for small ones to come and go, so come and bet on a big one!"
Zhao Cheng piled all the silver he won on the table, took out the house deed and pledged it, and said, "There are more than fifty taels of silver, plus the house deed, the total price will be one hundred and twenty taels, right?"
Now it was the old fisherman and Zhang Yigu's turn to be in trouble. They didn't have so much money in their hands. All the money they had spent gambling these days was given to them by Sun Xiaotie.
If you have hundreds of taels of silver and squeeze it out, even old fisherman and other old gamblers won't have the courage.
Zhang Yigu shook his head: "I don't have that much money, so I'll quit."
Zhao Cheng said disdainfully: "I dare to pledge the house deed, but you don't dare?"
Zhang Yigu looked at Sun Xiaotie, obviously asking for support, but with such a large amount, even Sun Xiaotie did not dare to make the decision.
What Li Fu meant was to lose two to three taels of silver every day, and it took more than ten days to drag Zhao Cheng into the abyss of gambling debts. The total cost was only a few dozen taels. For this, Li Fu took out a total of two ingots of gold, each day. Five taels of ingots are equivalent to one hundred taels of silver.
Now Zhao Cheng bets more than one hundred taels, and it depends on whether Sun Xiaotie dares to follow.
Even if Sun Xiaotie wanted to follow, he couldn't afford so much money.
More than one hundred taels of silver, in addition to the house, you also need to count the land, at least dozens of acres of land. When gambling reaches this point, it is no longer just a small gamble for fun, it is simply a gamble on life. The winner takes all, and the loser may be impoverished and end up on the street.
Seeing such a fierce gambling situation, Zhang Yigu couldn't stand it anymore. Firstly, he didn't have so much money, and secondly, even if he did, he didn't want to gamble without being sure.
The old fisherman stood up and said: "We are all brothers, don't hurt our friendship. This is just for fun. We have no money today. How about we gamble again tomorrow?"
Zhao Cheng accepted it as soon as he saw it was good. He collected the money and the house deed and said goodbye.
