Chapter 154: Lord Xue
In Yu Shu's opinion, the gambling game in Anling City is very interesting, it is very different from what she has seen in Yiyang City before, there are many more rules, but the more this is the case, the more it shows a "gambling" nature, gambling, it is originally necessary to have an element of luck in it.
There are 30 gamblers present, each with three questions, that is, at least 90 questions, there are difficult and easy, there are high bets and low bets, while betting on other people's questions, others are also betting on the questions in your hands, because they don't know the bets in advance, one side is winning, maybe the other side is losing.
Taking advantage of the time to distribute the brand, Yu Shu probably pondered, she now has twenty taels of silver available in her hand, that is to say, according to the minimum bet of five taels on a question, she can come up with four questions, according to the "bet" statement, if she presses four questions, she can also bet on four questions in other people's hands, then if she only loses and does not win, in this first game, she can win at least forty taels, that is, bad luck, all of them won a question of five taels, then she can't stop after a game.
For the sake of prudence, Yu Shu didn't plan to charge any big tail eagle, she had to press the lowest five taels of all the four questions in the first game, in order to get one more chance to draw questions.
The brand was quickly issued, Yu Shu got the nineteenth card, because later it will be in this order to draw the number of the bet, the higher the better, she doesn't care how many the brand is, and a few people nearby, there are people who steal fun because of the front of the brand.
After getting the brand, Yu Shu put on his own ink and began to solve the problem, in the past few days of setting up a stall in Qiu Guifang, the business was deserted, she bought a copy of the "Sutra of Calculation" in another Yi Pavilion and took the time to refer to it, and read the seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight of them, and had a further understanding of the mathematical level of people at this time, so she was now called to solve the problem. Don't be clueless.
Try to write the font neatly, Yu Shu put the questions and answers written into the envelope respectively, and marked the front of the envelope with "one, two, three, four" as a mark, these four questions she didn't dare to exceed too much, only one is difficult, the other three are decent, there is the idea of keeping the capital and betting a few more rounds to fill the number.
When the time comes. The strong man who had just explained came out again, followed by a chick with a tray in his hand, and whether someone had not yet come up with a good question, he showed everyone the thirty decks in the tray, which corresponded to each person's hand.
"If there is one, you have to draw the question first. Now you can call the number. ”
Five taels of silver, buy a first opportunity, although I can't know who is behind the Lu Dao brand, the topic is difficult or easy, but everyone here is easy to gamble, since they dare to gamble, how much have a little ability, no one has a study of the number of good luck. You can get a glimpse of one or two.
Sure enough, there were three people who were willing to pay to choose the opponent first, to Yu Shu's surprise, one of them called her number plate, and then, the strong man personally commanded a few chicks, respectively to the table of the three people who were called to the number plate, took the question placed in the red envelope on their table and took it to the three people who called the number, to see if the other party was going to choose one or two. Or all of them.
Soon, a chick came back with a tray, Yu Shu looked at the four red envelopes placed on the tray in turn, reached out and took a look, but she didn't see the number she had just made, obviously the other party picked all her four questions, and also returned four back.
Yu Shu felt a little subtle in his heart. Accepted the other party's sub-brand, kept it for later to solve the problem, and opened the envelope in turn, not to read the question first, but to look at the bet under the title first, and the first bet made her tongue in surprise-
The other party actually pressed a hundred taels!
That's a lot of money. Is it so confident that others can't solve it, Yu Shu was surprised, and looked at the question, even if she pulled the corners of her mouth, this question was quite level, at least two grades higher than the topic of Yiyang City Gambling House, but it was not difficult for her, and she calculated it with a cup of tea.
Yu Shu put down this, went to open the second one, shook off the paper and looked for a look below, stunned-
Or a hundred taels!
If you look at the question, you will do it, great!
Go directly to open the remaining two envelopes - one hundred taels, all one hundred taels, four hundred taels for four questions, and suddenly Yu Shu felt like a blind cat had bumped into a dead mouse, she pressed the question in her hand, looked up at the opposite side, and found the person who picked her topic, the other party obviously had just read her four questions, and was looking at her, because there was a distance between them, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but Yu Shu was about the difficulty of his question, and the other party could solve her two questions.
In this way, Yu Shu felt in a dilemma, did she solve these four questions, or didn't solve them, did she solve one, or did she solve both?
This is four hundred taels, and they really won others, they must be sharp, attract people's eyes and jealousy, and they can't say that they have to grudge with the person who lost the money, but I don't understand it, the meat sent to the door, how can there be a reason to push it out.
Yu Shu touched his chin, picked up the teacup and took two sips, and finally decided to solve him two ways, empty him two ways, at least the face is passable, and there is no grudge, don't let the family lose too badly.
So she took out the charcoal strip she had with her, touched the paper, compared the four questions, and picked out two that she was interested in solving.
At this time, the rest of the guests in the game selected their opponents in order according to the number of cards, and the strong man who presided over the situation put a water leak on the table in the middle, so that everyone could see it, and it was half an hour for a game.
After a cup of tea, someone solved the problem first, Yu Shu was distracted to look, only to see that the strong man personally stepped forward to take the solution and the sub-number on the person's table, took it to the questioner's table to open the white envelope to answer, and handed the question and the answer to the questioner, and waited for the other party to confirm before raising the sign in his hand and announcing the number loudly:
"No. 9, one question on No. 16 in the bet, ten taels of silver."
A few whispers sounded in the quiet situation just now, and the person who lost the bet put the silver ticket on the tray, and the strong man pointed to a chick and took it to the person who won the bet, which was considered a round.
Yu Shu saw the excitement, so he didn't care about the progress below, and calculated the first question with ease, a little and a half of the time had just passed, and a few people gambled during the period, the highest was only twenty taels, and the man who spent five taels of silver to choose her bet also solved her question, Yu Shu gave the money very happily, after all, there are many people who want to win later.
She didn't rush to call the strong man to come and verify. Instead, continue to solve the next problem, and after solving it, seeing that there is still plenty of time, I will re-check the two questions that have been calculated, just in case of sloppiness.
After that, the strong man came to her table twice, and Yu Shu honestly gave the money, a total of fifteen taels before and after, and there were five taels left in his hand.
There was almost no time left for tea. She stopped, scribbled a few pieces of paper with charcoal, and looked at the gamblers who were either happy, depressed, or struggling to write, and beckoned to the strong man:
"This way."
The strong man walked over and took a look at the sub-number on her table. Only then did he take the two solutions she handed over, and took the deck of cards to find the questioner.
Yu Shu looked over there, rubbing his hands and waiting to listen to the pleasant sound of the bet, but he didn't see the other party announce, from her point of view, the strong man turned his back to her, standing in front of the questioner's table, just blocking her view. She couldn't see what the two were saying, she had a faint premonition, and just as she was about to stand up, she saw the strong man turn around, raise the sign in his hand, and said in an urn voice:
"No. 19, bet and lose No. 7, two questions, two hundred taels of silver."
Yu Shu's face changed suddenly. Suddenly pressed the table and stood up, she lost the bet, how could it be!
When the strong man had finished his announcement, he walked over to her, asked the young girl behind him to come forward, and motioned to her to put the money on the tray with a blank face.
Yu Shu didn't take the money, but said with a stiff face: "I want to see his solution first." ”
It's not a big deal. She is very confident in herself, unless it is a precise calculation, otherwise if she can solve a problem, the chance of making a mistake after checking it twice is only 1 in 10,000, which is completely negligible.
If it weren't for her miscalculation. It must be that there is a problem with the solution of the questioner.
The strong man didn't say anything, turned his head to take the man's solution, Yu Shu took it in his hand and looked at it, and secretly sneered, his answer was far from the correct solution, how could it be right, she shook the two pieces of paper in her hand, turned her head to the two gentlemen who were sitting on the side, and said to the two gentlemen who were invited by the Evergreen Gang: "It's his miscalculation, dare to ask Mr. Song and Mr. Liu to help check it." ”
This is two hundred taels of silver, don't say she doesn't have it, even if she does, she will never be fooled around like this!
The two looked at each other, and the older Mr. Song said, "Take it." ”
Yu Shu took the problem and solution of the questioner by himself, and took her solution together, and gave it to the two of them to review, thinking that they could be invited here to come to the town, when they had the ability to see the wrong and right, unexpectedly, the two of them had a rough look at three copies, and under the attention of a group of people who were idle on the field, Mr. Song stroked his beard and said:
"There's no problem with this solution, it's you who lost the bet."
Yu Shu frowned and said politely: "Are you two wrong, I can solve the problem for you now, please take a closer look at the right and wrong." ”
Mr. Song snorted displeasedly, threw the three portions in his hand on the tea table, took the teacup, turned his head and ignored Yu Shu.
Yu Shu saw that the two of them were unwilling to make decisions, and his heart sank, so he heard the strong man say coldly behind him:
"Willing to gamble and lose, are you trying to mess around? Where am I in the Evergreen Gang, huh? ”
She turned her head, and saw that the strong man's face suddenly became fierce, and he led two thugs over, looking like she would be unkind to her if she didn't take the money out immediately.
Yu Shu knew that something was wrong, secretly scolded badly, took two steps back, his mind turned sharply, and he was searching for countermeasures, when he heard a commotion in the building in front of him, and several women screamed, and before long, he saw that at the door of the backyard leading to the front hall, two thugs guarding the door screamed and were kicked in from inside, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed in a group of officers and soldiers in black clothes, twenty or thirty people, all holding three-foot long knives, fierce and fierce, and a leader led by him pointed sharply at the courtyard and shouted:
"You are so bold, you dare to gather people in the south of the city to gamble, a month ago, the court issued a document to strictly investigate private gambling, are you eating the courage of the ambitious leopard!"
In the face of this sudden situation, the faces of the people in the courtyard turned pale with fright, and many people immediately squatted down tremblingly, and even the two Yi Shi behind Yu Shu stood up with panicked faces, and Yu Shu was probably the only one present who was happy to see this group of officers and soldiers.
The strong man was bold, and led the two people to step forward, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a rough voice: "Which adult are you, do you know that our Evergreen Gang has a special article approved by Lord Xu of the Ministry of Etiquette, and allows guests to play a little fun, and dare to make trouble here, aren't you afraid that Lord Xu will know and blame!" ”
Hearing that he moved people out, the leader of the officers and soldiers was not afraid at all, snorted coldly at the strong man, held the long knife in his hand, and turned to the curtain door and arched his hand:
"Lord Xue."
Seeing the words, they heard a low laugh, and everyone looked back, and from under the hanging curtain, a handsome young man walked out slowly, dressed in a red suit, with a black gauze crown on his head, leather shoes on his feet, and a scorn smile at the corner of his mouth:
"Song Sixian of the Ministry of Rites has been dismissed from his post and investigated by the court this morning, and if you want to find him, I am afraid that I will have to go to prison."
Yu Shu's eyes were round, and he didn't have time to bow his head to avoid it, so he saw that Lord Xue turned his head and swept his gaze, which happened to sweep over her, and then turned back, seeing that it was her, there was some confusion in his eyes, and the next moment, Yu Shu clearly saw him glaring at her.
