Chapter 41 40. A fool catches a fool

It was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the hotel.Dong Qiang said that Yang Tao played in one place at about this time every day, he knew, so I followed Dong Qiang to find Yang Tao.Yang Tao was playing in a small shop near a small village not far from Dong Qiang's home.Now, the small shops on the edge of the countryside are basically gambling dens in disguise, especially in winter, when there is no farm work, and if you enter any one, there will be problems, only the difference between the overall situation and the small situation. I followed Dong Qiang to the small shop.There were a few people standing in front of the counter, talking in twos and threes.Seeing Dong Qiang, everyone asked him why there was no game at home today?Dong Qiang chatted with them, and took me into the hut behind the small shop.There was a kang set up in the room, and there were people all over the kang, and all of them stretched their necks to look at the table in the middle of the kang.It turned out that they were playing boredom.

The so-called boring is to throw corn into a bowl, a bit like guessing melon seeds on the street.The game of guessing melon seeds is to find a plate and use a table tennis racket as a cover. The dealer puts melon seeds (within 6 pieces) into the plate in front of everyone, quickly covers the plate, and asks everyone to guess how many are inside.At the beginning, several people rushed to bet, and some people won a lot of money.Gradually, many people who came to watch the excitement also started to bet money. At first, they could win a little, but after a few bets, they started to be unlucky.I clearly saw 4 in it, but why did it turn into 3 as soon as it came out?Unwilling again and again, he bet again and again, and after a while, all the money in his pocket went to the stall operator.I have written a lot of scams on the street before. Those people take advantage of people's greed and self-righteousness to swindle money. The stall owners who guess melon seeds have "melon seeds" hidden in their hands, which are not easy for ordinary people to find.The trick is on the table tennis racket. Dig a hole in it in advance and put in a small magnet. When you need to cheat, open the partition and suck the melon seeds coated with iron powder in. Cover the partition, and 4 seeds will become 3. It's gone.If you gamble with others like this, won't all the money go to waste?

The principle of their game is the same as guessing melon seeds, except that corn kernels are used instead of melon seeds.The dealer pinches some corn with three fingers, up to five, and throws them into the bowl.The corn kernels are jumping around in the bowl, and some may pop out.The dealer wants to quickly cover it with a hard cardboard before people can see how many are left inside, and then let everyone guess how many grains are still inside.In front of the bowl, there is a piece of paper, on which there is a five-dollar betting area, and one bet pays one.I saw that this gameplay is weird, I have never played it before.People who can calculate probabilities will definitely not play this game. The five players are betting one and paying one, and whoever plays is a fool.

However, there is a time difference between throwing the corn and closing the lid, which is enough for many people who think they are faster than the dealer to make bets with confidence.The bettors gathered around the table and could clearly see the bowl, the corn, the hands of the banker, and the cardboard shell used as the cover.There are also many people standing outside, all watching the excitement.Look at the corn kernels popping out everywhere on the table and kang.People on the periphery saw that others had won money, and they all wanted to bet twice.But after all, there are still a lot of people watching the fun, and there are only four or five people who are really playing.Among them was a fat man with a moustache who was the loudest and most capable of calling.Dong Qiang pouted at him and told me that he was Yang Tao.

Yang Tao doesn't bet much, basically 200 or 300 bets.Most of the time, there are plenty of people who can bet right.For the dealer, if one family wins and four lose, they can make a profit no matter what.It is really shocking that there are such foolish gambling methods in the world.One is very interesting, the dealer is slow to cover the lid, and I can clearly see that when the lid is closed, there are only 3 corns left in it.Not only I can see clearly, but Yang Tao can also see clearly.Because I was directly behind Yang Tao, we both had the same line of sight.The dealer asked everyone to place bets. Yang Tao was so excited that he concluded that there were only 3 corns in it, as if he was afraid that the 3 kernels inside would run away. Here comes a wad of money.He probably thought he would win for sure, and he didn't even count, so he bet all the money on 3 because he was afraid that people would not take him if the bet was too late.

Judging by the thickness, it is about 3000. It is estimated that this is the money in his pocket, and if there is any money, he may bet it.He was full of confidence and felt that 3000 was not enough to bet, so he snatched it from a buddy next to him and bet on 3, explaining: "Don't bet on this one, let me use the money first." He and that person should Very familiar, that person has no objection, but reminded him: "Old Yang, take your time to bet, you have to be sure. Take it easy, take it easy." From that person's point of view, it is probably not sure what is inside is a few.Yang Tao waved his hands again and again, refusing to let the man speak, as if he was afraid that others would bet on him, and said: "It's up to me whether to have a child or not, I admit it." That means that he bet on this 3.I also saw it very clearly and decided it was a 3, but if I was asked to bet money, I would not do it. I haven't figured out what the situation is yet.

The dealer waited for everyone to bet the money, and then asked: "Is there any more bets? If not, I will open it." As he spoke, he took the paper shell away, and there were 4 grains of corn inside.How did it become 4 pills?At that time, I just looked at Yang Tao's expression and didn't pay attention to the actions of the dealer.I judged that the dealer should have tampered with when opening the treasure, and he made a small move when taking the cardboard shell from the mouth of the bowl.I came here to catch Yang Tao, not to pick up the wrong ones. I want to see what kind of person he is through his performance at the gambling table, and then prescribe the right medicine to set him up.

When Yang Tao saw that a 4 came out, he kept patting the table and asked, "It's clearly 3, how could it become 4? How is it possible? How is it possible?" The dealer followed his words and said: "Obviously there are too many things to do. What? Do you have any questions?" Yang Tao stopped talking, got up and left the table, and stood aside to watch the fun. It seemed that he didn't want to play anymore.His face was full of suspicion and puzzlement, but he was not disappointed.I see it very clearly, Yang Tao is considered a shrewd person, he knows how to stop at the right time, and he will not mess around.It seems that it is really difficult to catch him. Dong Qiang and his relatives alone may not be able to convince him.

The gamble was still going on, I looked at Dong Qiang, then at Yang Tao, and suddenly I had an idea, I knew how to catch him.Make up your mind and act now.I took out my money and squeezed it forward hard, which meant I wanted to bet. Holding 300 yuan in my hand, I squeezed to the innermost layer. Instead of placing a bet immediately, I acted as if I was still undecided about betting money.It seemed to others that I was carefully studying what would happen next, but I was actually looking at Yang Tao from the corner of my eye.My target is him, I have to show him how to behave, don't forget that he is not watching the fun, then I will be wronged if I lose money.Sure enough, Yang Tao wasn't watching the fun, he was chatting with the people around him, and he was about to leave soon.The dealer's box is covered here, calling for everyone to deposit money.I didn't bother to see how much the dealer threw, and what small moves he made afterwards, so I didn't bother to watch.I can't let Yang Tao just leave, I have to let him remember me.The players have all placed their bets, and the dealer is about to open. Time is running out. If you don’t perform well, there will be no chance. I said loudly: "Wait a minute!"

Yang Tao was about to leave. Hearing my yell, he turned around.My heart said: there is a door.The sound I made was actually calling him.I saw Yang Tao look over, and continued to say to the dealer with a loud voice: "Don't open it, I will bet money, I want to bet your deposit. How much do you bring?" The dealer said nonchalantly: "Bring as much as you want, one hundred Not too little, ten thousand is not too much." Yang Tao saw that someone wanted to make money from the dealer, so he came over to watch the excitement.Hehe, I'm just waiting for him to come and see, I have to put some points in, so as to impress him.But if I'm really asked to get the bottom money of the dealer, I won't do it. I don't burn too much money.I rummaged through my bag and found more than 2,000 yuan.To be honest, I really can't bear to give up any more. More than 2,000 yuan to buy Yang Tao Remember Me is enough.The bets on the table are all two or three hundred yuan, and any more will be wasted.Besides, after buying the impression, whether he will take the bait or not is still a big question.I didn't even count, so I threw the money on the "4" nonchalantly, and said, "Ten thousand? That's not so much money. I brought some pocket money when I came out today, and I bet it all. I bet 4." After that, he turned around and blamed Dong Qiang: "Why didn't you tell me that there is a game to play here? If you want to know, I will bring some money to play." Dong Qiang responded quickly enough and cooperated very much, saying: "I know there is a game here. But I'm afraid you won't like this game. I thought this game was a little too small for you, so I didn't tell you."

I talked to Dong Qiang by myself and told Yang Tao that Dong Qiang brought me here.As for how the dealer opens the pot, I don't care. If there is a ghost, I really don't want to win.I lost, and the dealer made a 3.Those watching the excitement around me came to comfort me and feel sorry for me.Some people also say that I am really good, dare to bet so much money, and I am comparable to Yang Tao.I sneered in my heart: You guys are so stupid.Yang Tao thought he was sure that he bet more than 3,000 yuan, but I wanted to let Yang Tao remember that I bet more than 2,000 yuan.I'm using bait to catch this fish.I will get this money back sooner or later.The dealer took my money away, and I was still talking and laughing, and said to Dong Qiang: "If you lose, you lose. Next time you have a game, remember to let me know in advance." Dong Qiang agreed.Yang Tao watched from the side, and I knew that my goal had been achieved, and he should be able to remember me. Yang Tao is about to leave after watching this.I went over and patted Dong Qiang on the shoulder and said, "I don't play anymore, and I didn't bring any money today. Let's go, let's find a place to lose the fire, and use the money to play some games tomorrow." Dong Qiang also pretended to be close to me and said, "Just go to the one you took me to last time, it's really nice there." I said, "Both of us, we will go wherever you say. There is no problem." As we spoke, we hooked our shoulders together and walked out of the shop with Yang Tao. After going out, I walked along the small road in the village for a while. Dong Qiang wanted to go up and say hello to Yang Tao, but I grabbed him.When Dong Qiang passed by, we took the initiative to chat. Although I was impatient to get Yang Tao into the game, I couldn't act in a hurry.I have to put on a pompous and reserved look, and it's best to let him jump in by himself. We kept a distance of five or six steps from Yang Tao, talking while walking.Dong Qiang kept flattering me.As for me, I also acted like I was very useful.We walked slowly along the path by the village, and Yang Tao stopped when he noticed that we were walking behind.When we came over, he took the initiative to say hello to Dong Qiang.I continued to show off and ignored him.Yang Tao seemed to have heard the conversation between Dong Qiang and me, and kindly persuaded me: "Brother, do you still want to come to play tomorrow? I advise you not to come to play, I suspect there is something wrong with them." I pretended to be stupid to the end, and asked him: "What's the problem? Impossible, what's the problem? Why didn't I see it. You can pull it off, don't say it, I don't believe it." walked around.Dong Qiang said goodbye to Yang Tao, and hurried to chase me.After walking a long distance, I vaguely heard Yang Tao say something behind me: "This idiot." I pretended not to hear it, and retorted in my heart: You are the idiot, your mother is the big idiot, and your father is He Shibi.As a result, I immediately felt a lot more comfortable and my mood improved. In the evening, I met Sanyuan, Mengzi, and Dong Qiang in a small private room in a hotel, and I shared my thoughts with everyone.My plan is to let Dong Qiang teach Yang Tao how to play cipher dice, just say that I am a winner, and let Dong Qiang persuade Yang Tao to cooperate with me.I pretended to be a winner and went up to play with them. Let Yang Tao beat me a few times first to arouse his gambling addiction, and then expand the game. When Yang Tao has 100% confidence in the dice and dares to bet no matter how big he is, Take him down. I don't think it's a problem to seduce him into the game. He always goes to play the boring game. Now he thinks that the boring game is haunted, so he won't go there for the time being. There are no other gambling games nearby.In the afternoon, I showed a very sturdy appearance in front of him. A handsome and wealthy man like me will be moved by anyone who meets him.Moreover, Dong Qiang and I gave him the impression that we are very familiar. As far as Dong Qiang's eloquence is concerned, I don't think there is any problem in convincing him to come to me.In terms of technology, it is a piece of cake for me to change the dice in front of him.The key link is how to make Yang Tao think that the game is watertight, and how to make Yang Tao bring so much money to play?Because only the game that he thinks can secure the money will bring big money.How to ask him to bet with me with so much money is the second thing. As long as he wins the game, there will be no problem.It's best to seduce people in the gambling game, I don't believe that he won't be jealous when stacks of banknotes are put in front of him.Dong Qiang listened to my concerns, and even said that there was no problem, and he was responsible for it.We did some more research and came up with a reasonable reason: my third child is a rich kid who gambles big, is also very stupid, and loves to pretend, he doesn't just play when he is called.If you want to play, you can show the goods first, and I will not wait for you with 10,000 to 20,000.Only with this kind of rhetoric can I find a chance to win his big money. Otherwise, I will play a game with me and stop playing. I've been taken advantage of.Such things are not without, there are many. Besides Dong Qiang and me, we also need an extra actor.After discussing for a long time, I chose Sanyuan's friend.Sanyuan looks too scary, with a face full of flesh, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance, it's not good to go and scare people away.Mengzi doesn't know how to gamble.Although Da Kun knows how to gamble, but he has little social experience, it may not be appropriate to play such a game.Yang Tao is shrewd, but not a nerd like Da Kun can fool him. After the division of labor was completed, they broke up. In the next few days, they waited for Dong Qiang to mobilize Yang Tao.When we waited for the news, we felt that time passed very slowly, that is, 6 days.At first I never saw Dong Qiang coming, thinking that Dong Qiang had let him go.Sanyuan went to Dong Qiang's house to look for him when he had nothing to do, and he could be found at his house every time.Dong Qiang always replied that it was almost too late, and that he was mobilizing;On the sixth day, Dong Qiang came to us and said, "It's done, start at my house tomorrow night." It turned out that Dong Qiang went to find Yang Tao that night.First, I chatted with Yang Tao, and gradually, the topic came to the boring game that I played in the afternoon. After discussing the boring game for a while, the topic naturally came to me.Yang Tao asked Dong Qiang where he knew such a silly bird.Dong Qiang made up a set of words, saying that he and I are buddies, and they are rich and generous.Then step by step, he said that he played a set of dice, which was very magical, and he could play as many times as he wanted, and he also demonstrated it to Yang Tao mysteriously.During the conversation, he revealed that this dice cannot be used in his own small game, even if he uses it, he can't win much money. It's a pity that he can't get big money for such a good thing.Dong Qiang said that he hoped Yang Tao would help find a fool to play with.Yang Tao didn't agree at first.Dong Qiang was not in a hurry, so he went to find Yang Tao for a few days, and finally convinced Yang Tao, and both of them set their goals on me.But Yang Tao was worried, so he took the dice home and studied it for two days, because Dong Qiang's password dice needed to memorize the password. After 6 days of hard work, Dong Qiang successfully mobilized Yang Tao and agreed to attack me.Yang Tao prepared 150,000 yuan, of which 100,000 was his own capital, and 50,000 was for Dong Qiang's capital for display.We also quickly prepare capital. Here comes the pig, and a self-righteous one at that.
