Chapter 282 Losing Reason
"I am the captain of the guards of the Fa Cai Casino. I don't know what your relationship with Si Chengren is."
"He is my son." Si Wei Zhong looked at him with a sullen face and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
"Oh, then you will have to pay back the money on his behalf." The team leader suddenly realized, and at the same time took out the IOU from his arms and showed it to Si Wei Zhong.
There it was clearly written in black and white: a loan of one thousand taels of silver, with an interest of twenty taels per day, and the total amount to date was one thousand and forty taels.
After confirming that the document in front of him was authentic, Si Wei Zhong took out the silver bill and two silver ingots from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Then he extended his hand to the team leader. The meaning was self-evident. He didn't want to say another word to these gangsters. He just wanted them to take the money and leave here quickly.
When the team leader saw the silver, the corners of his mouth unconsciously widened and he chuckled twice. The silver notes were worth one hundred taels each. The team leader picked them up and counted them, and there were exactly ten.
Satisfied, he put the banknotes and silver ingots into his arms, and then handed the IOU to Si Wei Zhong respectfully with both hands: "Master Si is really capable. Come to our gambling house anytime you have time in the future."
Si Wei Zhong looked at him with displeasure and did not answer him.
The team leader was not angry, as he had seen many things like this. He waved to the people he was traveling with, indicating that they could leave.
A few people then stood up reluctantly. They came here to have tea and snacks and eat as much as they wanted. Now they had to leave after eating only a few snacks. It was really disappointing.
He glanced at the snacks on the table reluctantly, reached out and took two more pieces. Seeing this, the people around him followed suit, and the plate of snacks was soon empty.
Si Wei Zhong felt even more annoyed when he saw how they looked like ordinary people.
Several people walked out while eating snacks in their hands, muttering: "The Marquis' Mansion is still rich. They only come here once and get the money."
"That's right. I heard that Mr. Si brought two thousand taels of silver with him, and he borrowed the money from our gambling house after he lost it all."
"Really? You're really rich! Two thousand taels is something I can never earn in my entire life."
"Who says it's not true? Look, their dim sum is tastier than those sold outside."
At this time, several people had already walked to the door and were about to go out when they were suddenly stopped by Si Wei Zhong.
"Wait a minute." Si Weizhong wondered if there was something wrong with his ears? Why did he hear them talking about two thousand taels of silver?
"I wonder if Lord Si has any other instructions?" The team leader stopped and turned to ask.
"You just said that my son took two thousand taels of silver with him when he left. Is that true?"
"We don't know whether it's true or not, we just heard about it. It's probably true." One of them said. They were all guards. They were called guards, but in fact they were there to collect debts from the gambling house.
They don't usually go to the gambling house and have no employment relationship with it. They just come to them with IOUs from the gambling house, and they take the IOUs to find people. They get a kickback based on the amount of money.
"Okay, it's okay, you can go." Si Wei Zhong waved his hand and let them leave.
When he was the only one left in the room, he began to wonder whether the two thousand taels of silver those people had just mentioned were real.
If it was true, where did he get so much silver? But on second thought, it didn't seem right. Since he was going to the gambling house to gamble, he must bring silver with him. It was impossible for him to just borrow silver when he got there.
It seemed that he had to ask Si Chengren again how much he had lost in the gambling house. When he came to Si Chengren's room again, he was the only one left.
"Dad, why are you here?" Si Chengren shuddered, not knowing what was going on.
"You borrowed one thousand taels of silver from the gambling house. How much silver did you take with you when you went to the gambling house?" Si Wei Zhong did not beat around the bush and asked directly what was in his mind.
Si Chengren was shocked and his eyes widened. He didn't understand why Si Wei Zhong came back to ask him this question after being out for such a short while.
"You took two thousand taels of silver, right?" Without waiting for Si Chengren to answer, Si Wei Zhong stared into his eyes and continued to ask.
At this time, Si Chengren looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had not told anyone about these things, so how could Si Wei Zhong know about them? It was not until his grandmother pleaded for him that he did not have to go to the manor.
"No, not that much." Si Chengren waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to admit that he brought so much silver.
Si Wei Zhong had already seen his expression, and his anger instantly reached its peak. He actually dared to lie to him at this time.
"Someone come and enforce the family rules." Si Wei Zhong suddenly shouted towards the outside of the door, and soon someone came in with an extra-large ruler.
Seeing Si Wei Zhong's terrifying look, Si Chengren subconsciously wanted to run away, because his father would beat him to death if he didn't.
Seeing the retreat in Si Chengren's eyes, and his constant glances towards the door, Si Wei Zhong knew what he was thinking at the moment, and shouted: "Kneel down, you evil creature!"
Before Si Chengren could react, his legs softened and he knelt straight down: "Dad, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will definitely listen to you in the future, please forgive me this time."
Now Si Wei Zhong could no longer hear what he said. He grabbed the ruler and started hitting Si Chengren, each time more fiercely than the last. He hit whatever he saw, and the anger in his heart was burning so wildly that he lost his mind.
He thought his sons had only lost one thousand taels, but he didn't expect it was actually three thousand taels. In order to lend the money to Li Xiaoxiao, the two sons became crazy.
You must beat him hard until he wakes up.
The ruler fell on Si Chengren's body. He wailed in pain but still begged for mercy. However, Si Wei Zhong, who was red-eyed, didn't care about that.
He was hit a few more times, and the painful cries from Si Chengren's room suddenly spread out of the door.
Many maids and servants heard the noise and quickly ran to tell Wang Qiuhe and Tang Xiuwen.
The old woman also got the news first. When she heard the maid ask why Si Chengren was beaten, she was stunned at first, and then she laughed, a laugh from the bottom of her heart.
They really deserved it, evildoers will be punished, no one in their family is doing well. At the same time, she secretly admired Xiaoxiao for her ability. She caused them to fight among themselves without any effort. It also made her feel better.
When the news reached Tang Xiuwen, he looked impatient and sent the maid away. His son had suffered a lot today.
Just hit him a few times, how serious can it be? The maid is so anxious and she really doesn’t know the rules anymore.
Wang Qiuhuo had just returned to her residence. Her face still hurt. She looked at herself in the mirror and was shocked. Was she walking outside with this face just now?
Before he could find the ointment to apply on his face, he heard the maid come to report that Si Wei Zhong was beating Si Chengren with a ruler in his room.
"Take me to see it quickly."
