Chapter 19 The crisis is approaching
Ma Liu laughed and said, "Haha, brother Jiu Si, it's been a few days since we last met. Let's go play a few rounds today?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "No, Sixth Brother, I don't have much money recently, so I won't play anymore."

"Don't worry, it's easy to deal with if you don't have money. We have a place to borrow money from."

Ma Liu said with a smile, Chen Jie said: "Sixth brother, I have no money, who can lend me some?"

"Hey~ Don't you have another room? Also, your little burden and your unlucky one can be mortgaged. At least they can be exchanged for five or six taels of silver."

Ma Liu had a pockmarked face and forced a smile as he spoke to Chen Jie.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie already had murderous intent in his heart. These bastards were really going to suck the marrow out of him. They were going to blow all the fat out of him.

Eat people without spitting out bones.

Chen Jie said with embarrassment: "This, this is not good."

Ma Liu said: "Hey, brother, think about it, how much money did you lose in the Yu Jiabao game? Don't you want to make a comeback? That was all the wealth that Mr. Chen had accumulated throughout his life, and you just let someone else win it?"

"Can you be willing?"

Ma Liu bewitched and said that he understood the gambler's mind too well, so every word he said touched the gambler's heart.

Gambler, once you sit at the gambling table, don't even think about getting off.

If you win, you want to win again. If you lose, you want to make up for it. You won’t stop until you lose everything and your family is broken up.

Therefore, the Mahjong game can be said to be quite popular, and the game is usually set up in such a way that you win a little at first, and then slowly lose. Once you lose, you want to make up for your losses, and the more you want to make up for your losses, the more you lose. At the end of the game, you can forget about getting any penny left, as all the money will go to someone else in the game.

"Come on, brother, let's play a few rounds and have some fun. Let's go."

As he said this, Ma Liu was about to push Chen Jie.

But unexpectedly, Chen Jie pulled his hand back and looked at Ma Liu and said, "Sixth brother, let's stop playing. I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."

With that, Chen Jie pushed the cart and walked away.

Seeing this, Ma Liu stared blankly at his own hand that was still trying to persuade him to stay, and his eyes became gloomy.

He just looked at Chen Jie's back and took his hand back. He always felt that this Chen Jiusi was different.

A younger brother standing nearby looked at Chen Jie's back and said to Ma Liu, "Sixth brother, this kid?"

Ma Liu looked gloomy and said, "Something is wrong."

The younger brother asked, "You mean he has learned it well?"

Ma Liu sneered, "Learn well? Haha, I've worked with you for so many years, and I've seen many people's wives and children broken up, and their families destroyed. Have you ever seen someone who has retired from gambling?"

The younger brother shook his head, and Ma Liu sneered: "This Chen Jiusi can't get out of my palm."

"However, this kid... is abnormal. No, we have to find a chance to force him. You two continue to attract customers. I'll go see Master Yu."

"okay."

The two younger brothers responded and followed Ma Liu to a large mansion in the town.

This is the Yu family mansion. After being informed, someone told you to wait a moment as the young master is doing "morning lessons". Ma Liu understood what he meant.

After a while, the housekeeper told Ma Liu that he could come in. When he arrived in the yard, he saw a man being carried by several servants, his face full of tears.

A big door right opposite him was opened, and Yu Sanliu, the young master of Yu Jiabao's bureau, walked out with his trousers held up, shirtless. Through the crack in the door, one could see a naked woman tied to a rack in a very shameful posture.

It was obvious that he had just been treated very cruelly.

When Yu Sanliu came out, a maid immediately handed him tea. Yu Sanliu took a sip of the tea, held the cup in front of the man who was being held, and poured the tea directly on the man's face.

The man looked at Yu Sanliu, and Yu Sanliu looked at the man and said, "Your wife is very good, and she serves the young master very well. I don't want the interest on the money you borrowed. As usual, just pay back the principal tomorrow, and if you can't pay it back, you'll have to leave again. By then, your wife may not be able to pay the interest." "Do you understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

The man nodded, and Yu Sanliu waved his hand and said, "Get out with your wife, let him go!"

The man was let go and walked into the house in a daze, and then everyone in the house burst into tears.

Yu Sanliu stretched out his little finger to pick his ear, then looked at Ma Liu and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master, I saw Chen Jiusi today."

"Oh!"

Yu Sanliu's eyes lit up. This Chen Jiusi was really a living god of wealth. In the past six months, he had given his treasure bureau nearly one thousand taels of silver.

These include real estate, fertile land, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, and so on.

"Why don't you pull him in to play a few games? His wife, Su Yunjin, is pretty good. My father wanted to marry her to our family back then, but it's a pity that old Su is too arrogant and doesn't like me. But I like arrogant girls. The more I dislike her, the more I want to have sex with her and humiliate her!"

Yu Sanliu did not hide his perversion at all.

Ma Liu said, "Master, Chen Jiusi seems to have changed. He didn't go this time. Instead, he bought some rice, flour, oil and salt..."

"Ok?"

Yu Sanliu's eyes narrowed. Returning to his family, this was not a good sign. Ma Liu said, "So, sir, I think we have to force him. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't obey."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Yu Sanliu looked at Ma Liu.

Ma Liu said: "I remember he has an IOU from you, young master."

Yu Sanliu laughed and said, "That one ounce of silver, isn't he going to return it?"

Ma Liu said: "But the IOU was not torn up. At that time, you let him win two taels of silver. He was so happy that he forgot about it, didn't he?"

"One for two purposes, Ma Liu, otherwise I would still say you are bad."

Yu Sanliu waved his hand and said to the housekeeper, "Dingzihe, find the IOU and give it to him."

"Yes."

The housekeeper went to look for it immediately. After a while, he came back and handed over an IOU, which read: Chen Jiusi borrowed 36 taels of silver at a daily interest rate of 2%. It is dated March 2, the ninth year of the Zheng Dynasty.

Ma Liu took the IOU and said with a smile: "Master, this time, I don't believe that the boy won't obey obediently!"

The two were chatting and laughing when suddenly they heard a plop!
Then the man screamed: "Cui'er!"

Soon a servant came to report: "Master, the woman jumped into the well and committed suicide."

Yu Sanliu was furious: "Damn you, how could you let her jump into the well? Is this water drinkable? This is damn bad luck, have someone carry her away..."

"Yes, Master, I'll take care of it right away."

The servant responded and immediately went to work, as if this had happened more than once or twice. Ma Liu smacked his lips and said, "What a pity."

Yu Sanliu glanced at him and said, "Help me complete this mission. If you let me get Su Yunjin, I will reward you with the next 'morning class'."

"Ah, thank you, Master."

Ma Liu was very happy.
