Chapter 558: It's human nature that is betting

For the prison of this official government, Li Qi is no stranger.

It wasn't the first time he'd been locked up in such a place, but it didn't seem like he'd actually come to jail at any point.

While listening to the drum music, Li Qi also had another question in his mind.

The prisons in this place are carved out of a mold, and the structure is basically impossible to pick out any differences.

An aisle, flanked by cells one by one, the further in, the stronger the structure of the cells, which means that the further inward the prisoners are held, the more important they are.

Walking down the aisle, there is bound to be a corner.

The place where Li Qi was locked up was not far from the corner, but of course he couldn't see what was going on around the corner.

Can't see, guess.

Li Qi guessed that just around the corner, the playful little marquis Cao Hunting was eighty percent likely to be there.

In Li Qi's opinion, the methods of this little marquis are really average, which is no different from children playing games at home.

How can the little marquis think of the gameplay compare with a person like Li Qi who walked the rivers and lakes since he was a child?

What Li Qi has seen and experienced on the rivers and lakes over the years may be something that most people can't see and experience in their lives.

Let people beat gongs and drums just to disturb Li Qi's sleep, which really seems a little naΓ―ve.

For a person like Li Qi, it is nothing if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights, and if he is really sleepy, beating gongs and drums will not prevent him from sleeping.

But since people want to play, Li Qi will play with him.

He sat cross-legged on the floor of the cell, and the more he got in the middle of the night, the colder it became, the floor was colder, and his ass was cold.

In fact, it has been confirmed by many people that sitting on a very cold floor for a long time will make your stomach uncomfortable.

The first signs of discomfort are...... Lots of farts.

So Li Qi got up, turned around and walked backwards with his back to the side of the aisle, walked to the door of the cell, poked his ass out, and let out a series of farts ......

Then he snorted in comfort.

But the guy playing the drums outside was confused by Li Qi's series of actions, and the drums subconsciously stopped.

Li Qi glanced back at him: "Go on." ”

The drummer felt helpless, and he looked at his companion: "I'm tired, you two will come instead." ”

The two looked at each other, and they were not professional, but better.

They don't know how to play any drum music, and this Li Gongzi can't teach even if he wants to.

"Wait."

Li Qi suddenly shouted, and the three of them said that this guy was finally annoyed, as long as Li Qi was annoyed, the mission of the three of them would be completed.

But they underestimated Li Qi.

It's hard to say whether there is an old vixen in Li Qi's head, but there must be a little demon and a little angel living there.

Li Qi went to the door, stretched out his hand and bent the two vertical iron railings, broke the gap wider, and stuck his head out.

Li Qi smiled: "It's not interesting to keep beating like this, otherwise let's gamble?" ”

The three shook their heads at the same time.

The drummer said, "We're just here to play the drums, we can't do anything else." ”

Li Qi said: "Don't be afraid, play a simple game, one person beats, two people count on the side, and see if the person who beats the drum has more times with his left hand or more with his right hand." ”

He is like a little devil, but he tempts people to make mistakes with a kind and gentle tone.

Li Qi said: "I bet, write on the ground, and then when I shout to stop, you stop, I write first, but to cover it so that you don't see, when you stop, I guessed correctly that you lost to me, I guessed wrong and lost to you." ”

"This kind of thing, you take the initiative, after all, how many times you knock and which hand deliberately knocks more, you are in control."

After listening to Li Qi's words, the drummer asked, "You have given us all your silver, what do you bet with us?" ”

Li Qi pulled away from his long shirt, and there was a deerskin bag tied around his waist, and he grabbed it from the deerskin bag like a trick

A handful of gold leaves came out.

He took a gold leaf and shook it: "This gold leaf is worth a few hundred taels, I will suffer some losses, you bet ten taels at a time, and I will bet a gold leaf." ”

When those people saw the gold leaf, their eyes began to glow.

Everyone's eyes should be exactly the same as those of the dragon when they see gold.

They only need to bet ten taels of silver, and if they win, they can get a gold leaf that can be exchanged for hundreds of taels of silver, and this temptation is difficult for anyone to resist.

Even if they lose a lot, as long as they win once, they will make a sure profit, and if they win twice, they will make a fortune.

The three of them got together and discussed, and they added up to a total of more than eighty taels of silver, and they could gamble at least eight times.

These eight times, even if they lose seven times, win once, it is a big profit.

"Bet!"

The drummer gritted his teeth and nodded, "I don't believe you can win all the time." ”

Li Qi said: "Think about it, gambling on this kind of thing is a pit, I am digging a pit for you now, in case you lose all your money, wouldn't it be wronged." ”

The drummer said, "It's all your money if you lose." ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "It makes sense to say this, anyway, your silver and my silver are all my silver." ”

If the three of them had heard the meaning of this, they should have stopped sensibly, but they didn't.

The drummer said: "But you can't just knock it, or shout to stop after a few hits, in that case, you naturally have a better chance of winning." ”

Li Qi said: "In this way, I count to a hundred, write left or right on the ground, and then count another hundred times before I can stop." ”

The three of them discussed it and felt that this method was quite fair.

Because of the stakes involved, the drummer did not say that he was tired, and he picked up the drumstick again.

His two companions stood on one left and one on the right, and one of them counted only one side.

Li Qi sat down next to the railing and said with a smile: "Ready..... Begin! ”

As soon as he started, the drummer began to beat.

In order to confuse Li Qi's judgment, he deliberately went fast and slow, and deliberately did not knock one-on-one with his left and right hands.

Sometimes the left hand strikes three or four times in a row, and sometimes the right hand strikes six or seven times in a row.

Li Qi didn't look at it, listened with his eyes closed, and was still gently counting the numbers in his mouth.

He counted from one to a hundred, twisted around and wrote a word behind his back, and then counted another hundred.

When the count was reached, he immediately shouted to stop, and the drummer reacted quickly and stopped immediately.

The two people in charge of counting reported the number, how much on the left and how much on the right, Li Qi moved away for them to see, and Li Qi won.

Around the corner, this incident made the little marquis Cao Lie extremely curious.

He said in his heart that this kind of gambling method would make it impossible for Li Qi to win in the end.

As the drummer said, even if Li Qi wins seven times, as long as he wins once, he will make a lot of money.

He couldn't hide this curiosity, so he came out to look.

Seeing that the three people's faces were gloomy, they took ten taels of silver and gave it to Li Qi, Cao Liexin said that these three people were too unlucky.

The second time, the rules were the same, and when the time came, Li Qi shouted to stop, and then looked, Li Qi won again.

This time, Cao Liexin said that this Li Yiyi's luck is really good.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Qi actually won seven times in a row, and those three people only had enough silver in their hands to gamble again.

One of them pulled the drummer and said with an ugly face: "Otherwise, don't gamble, don't bet now, we still have some left." ”

Another person also said: "If we lose again, what are we going to do this night...... Picture with him happy, huh? ”

The drummer hesitated when he heard this, and he didn't know what to decide for a while.

Don't gamble, it's really unwilling, and the seventy taels of silver have been lost.

This is completely different from what I thought before.

I used to think that even if I lost seven times and won once, I would make money, but after really losing seven times in a row, where would I have any confidence.

At this moment, Li Qi pushed the seventy taels of silver forward: "The last one, right?" Then I will add a bet, if you win this game, not only the gold leaves will be yours, but the seventy taels of silver will also be lost to you. ”

At this moment, the drummer's eyes turned slightly red.

"Bet on it!"

The drummer said to the two men: "If we win the bet, let's make a profit, and if we lose the bet, anyway, there will only be a dozen taels of silver left, and there is not much difference between what is left and what is not left." ”

The two people also hesitated because of Li Qi's words, and the three of them lowered their voices and discussed, and finally impulsively overcame reason.

However, impulse can defeat reason, but impulse cannot defeat Li Qi.

The eighth time, they lost again.

In the end, ten taels of silver were given to Li Qi, and the three of them only had one piece of broken silver left, which added up to two or three taels.

At this time, I can still think that these two or three taels of silver are divided into one cent, in fact, ...... It's better than nothing.

Li Qi is a bad person, he is still a person who picks the door, and he is a person who takes advantage of him and does not suffer losses, how can he let people take away a tael of silver from him.

He still said gently and kindly: "In this way, if you have a few taels of silver left, bet with me according to one or two, as long as you win once, I will win your silver and a gold leaf, and give them to you." ”

At this time, the three of them felt that they had lost eighty taels back, did they still care about the three taels of silver?

Eighty taels are gone, is there any point in leaving three taels?

This is how people are led into the trap step by step by the bad guys.

Those who go in and out of the casino are also bankrupt by being won step by step.

Li Qi's words were like the temptation of the devil, and the three of them didn't want anything else at this time, they just wanted to get back to their roots once, no, it was a sudden rich.

Li Qi saw that their expressions were a little hideous, and simply said: "You still have about three taels of silver, a bet, I will compensate you according to the bet of three times, you win, I will pay three times." ”

Three times, that is, at least three gold leaves, and two hundred and forty taels of silver.

"Bet!"

The drummer's eyes were no longer red, they were all red at this time.

The ending is doomed, they compete with a monster like Li Qi, where will they have a chance of winning.

In Yu Jiuling's words, Li Qi's head is inhabited by an old vixen who has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years.

Lost again.

The last bit of scattered silver returned to Li Qi's hands.

The three of them looked at each other, only to realize that each other's eyes were blood-red.

Li Qi asked, "Do you three usually gamble?" ”

The three of them were like deflated balls at this time, and they didn't even want to reply.

Li Qi sighed: "Since there is no money, let's continue to beat the drum." ”

The drummer said with red eyes: "I still have to bet!" ”

Li Qi asked, "What do you gamble with?" ”

The drummer touched his body, and he did not have any silver with him, but he looked at his two companions, who had only some copper coins on them.

Li Qi sighed and said, "Otherwise, use your drum to bet with me?" I will count you ten taels of silver for this drum, and if I lose, I will pay you ten times as much. ”

Thereupon.

Soon after, the drums were made by Li Qi.

The three men sat on the ground, as if they had lost the strength to stand up.

Li Qi opened the cell door and moved the drum inside.

Now it's all right.

It's his turn to beat the drum, he can knock when he wants, he doesn't knock if he doesn't want to, he can knock as he wants, he can knock whatever he wants.

He sat on the cowhide drum and said with some satisfaction: "It's much more comfortable than sitting on the ground, the ground is really cold......

After saying this, he let out another fart, and the fart brought out a trilling sound on the drum.
