Chapter 191: Human Nature Is Unstoppable
Sharpening!
Wanli suddenly had the urge to sharpen his knife and Huo Huo to Guo Dan.
This Nima is really bloodless!
Although Guo Dan helped him earn all this money, he wouldn't think so, this was Guo Dan's fault.
But then again, he also took great pains to lift the curfew today, just for fear that everyone would not have time to bet, but judging from the results, there was no need for this, and it was self-defeating.
Although there was no one, Guo Danwu stayed at the racecourse tonight.
"Ahh Sneeze ......! β
Guo Dan rubbed his nose and wondered, "How many people are cursing me tonight, this sneeze is endless." β
"What are you talking to yourself?"
Liu Xin sought to enter the hall.
"Nothing." Guo smiled and asked, "Has this news gotten out?" β
"It's already been arranged." Liu Xinmou was curious again: "But can this work?" I think it's hanging. β
"Based on that news alone, naturally it can't be, but it's ......." Guo smiled and said: "I have other arrangements, let's go and rest early, Ming'er will definitely be very busy." β
......
Kitchen Zhou.
"Huh? Brother Li, why did you get here? Aren't you going to compete tomorrow? You should have a good rest at home. β
Zhang Shikun couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Li Shouqi suddenly come to Zhou's kitchen.
Li Shouqi gloated and smiled: "I'm worried about whether Ming'er's game can go on normally, this time Guo Dan is really finished, he has been busy for so many days and spent so much money, and in the end no one has bet." β
Zhang Shikun said: "I have also heard about this, in fact, there are already signs, Shilin has been secretly boycotting Marseille, many people who wanted to bet, because of the prevention of the elders, can only take the horse newspaper to make a scene." β
"You can't say that."
He said to a fat man opposite: "I heard that all this is in Guo Dan's expectations, and the prize pool hall is still preparing today." β
Li Shouqi frowned and said, "How do you say this?" β
The fat man said: "In the first three races, the strength of the contestants is very close, and according to the prize pool system, if you bet on a horse, you can't make money, and you have to lose some money, if you want to make more, you have to bet on some of the less popular horses, so everyone is waiting for others to bet first, I heard that tomorrow will be very hot." β
Zhang Shikun nodded slightly and said: "Brother Wu is reasonable, the later you bet, the more you take advantage." β
The fat man surnamed Wu said: "But isn't it, I have studied for several days and made several choices, just to see how the prize pool will change tomorrow." As he spoke, he said to Li Shouqi again: "Shouji, you have to go back to rest quickly, when I came, I also heard that Xu Jirong has not gone out these days, and he is recuperating at home." β
Li Shouqi originally wanted to come here to have a pastime and laugh at Guo Dan, but when he heard them say it, he was also beating a drum in his heart, but he said: "It's still early, and it's not too late to go back later." β
Having said that, he sat down for a while and went back.
......
Tonight's business in Jinyulou is also very good, but Zhou Feng has mixed feelings in his heart, but the people who come here tonight are all officials from the DPRK and China, or some very famous scholars, they seem to be already celebrating, or discussing what kind of death Guo Dan will have this time.
Now what kind of revenge is it, and all grievances have been avenged.
In fact, this is a kind of unequal confrontation, they lose Guo Dan a few times, and they can't even talk about breaking their muscles and bones, but Guo Dan will fall into a place of no return if he loses once.
In a private room.
"This time Guo Dan can be regarded as a lesson."
Xu Guo laughed a few times, and said: "He is just a small tooth businessman, so he should abide by the duty of a businessman, how can he participate in the affairs of this country, it is really beyond his means." β
Shen Shixing, who was sitting opposite, nodded and said: "In this case, we also have to be prepared, once Guo Dan fails, then the other party will definitely make a comeback and continue to impeach Xing Anbo, but there are many people in the court who want to get their hands on the fat of Taifu Temple!" β
Xu Guo frowned and said, "I don't know what Brother Shen's plans are?" β
Shen Shixing said: "We should still try our best to calm this struggle, now the treasury is not full, and many expenditures need to rely on the Taifu Temple, if the Taifu Temple is out of control, then many things cannot be done!" β
Xu Guo nodded slightly, "Brother Shen is reasonable!" But it's not that easy to solve. β
Shen Shi sighed: "If it is not easy to solve, it must be solved." β
The success or failure of this Marseille is directly related to whether Xu Mengxi can still control the Taifu Temple, and now many people have planned how to compete for the Taifu Temple, once it fails, Xu Menghui is naturally to blame, and he must be lowered, and the Taifu Temple will carry out a new round of reshuffle.
East Plant.
Today, Zhang Whale has been staying in the base camp, and he is also paying close attention to the situation in Marseille, of course he hopes that Marseille will fail, because only if Wanli no longer trusts Guo Dan, he can deal with Guo Dan.
"Slaves and maids see the governor."
A eunuch walked in and bowed.
Zhang Jing immediately asked, "How is the situation now?" β
The eunuch said: "Back to the governor, judging from the results of our investigation so far, there should not be many people betting on Ming'er, many of them are already celebrating, and Marseille has been criticized by them for being incomplete." But..... But the slave maid thinks that this matter is not certain for the time being, although there are very few people who bet today, but many people have sent people to pay attention to the situation in the prize pool hall, which shows that there are still many people who are concerned about this matter. β
Zhang Whale said: "That is to say, until the moment before the start of the game, everything may not be said." β
"The slave thinks so."
"It's been half a day, and you've continued to keep people paying close attention to this matter."
"The slave obeys."
......
The Kou family.
"Miss, it's been the third watch, it's time for you to rest."
The slave came to the door and said to Kou Zhuansha, who was standing in front of the door.
"How do you tell me to sleep?" Kou Zhuansha sighed faintly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and thought to herself, Ming'er should be a sunny day, I hope God can help her husband again. Then he instructed the slaves: "Prepare the carriage, and when the morning dawns, we will go to the racecourse." β
.....
Five watches.
Knock knock!
A sharp knock on the door woke Zhang Whale up, he had just opened his eyes, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, hurriedly sat up, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
A person outside the door said: "Governor Qiyu, there are already hundreds of people queuing up in the prize pool hall." β
"What?"
Zhang Whale exclaimed in surprise and asked again, "What time is it?" β
"It's just been the fifth watch."
"Five watches?"
Zhang Whale said: "Didn't you just open the door at the hour?" β
"Yes, but there's already a long queue in front of the prize pool hall."
.....
Many people have already gotten up on the fifth watch, but for Qinglou, it has just stopped.
However, at this moment, there were sudden knocks on the door of Chunmanlou.
Knock knock!
Knock knock!
"Who?"
"Young master, it's a villain."
"What's the matter?"
"There's already a long queue in the prize pool hall."
.....
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening continued, and I saw a boy and brother, wearing clothes, hurriedly walked out.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen. Are you going to the racetrack, too? β
"Are you too?"
"Hmm. Let's go together. β
.....
"Haha... I knew they were all waiting, and now that they can't hold their breath, we can bet on the prize pool. β
"Don't talk about that, it's going to start at noon, and I don't know how long the line is, I heard it's already a long line."
"I had already ordered someone to wait there."
.....
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
The gate of the eastern city had just been opened, and it was covered with thick dust, as if it were a war, and I saw many people galloping out of the city on fast horses.
The non-commissioned officers guarding the city gate were stunned.
"What's going on? Why is everyone rushing out of the city? β
"Will you go out to Marseille, isn't Marseille going to Marseille today?"
"Didn't the game start at noon, no, you go and report it."
"Yes."
......
Since the city was still some distance from the racecourse, by the time the boys arrived at the prize hall, it was already dawn, but the air was filled with white mist.
In the fog it was crowded.
"Wow! So many people. β
I saw that there were long queues in front of the five doors of the prize pool hall, and under the effect of the white mist, there was almost no end in sight.
"Young Master, this way."
"Young master, young master."
"The eldest son."
......
Bursts of shouts rang out from the ranks.
They have studied for so many days, how can they not want to participate and prove that their prediction is right, but the influence of Shilin is still very great, and they also have some concerns, so they secretly send people to wait around here, if someone takes the lead, then hurry up and line up, if they don't bet, then forget it, no one wants to be the first bird.
However, since the fourth watch, there have been people standing silently in front of the door, and those people have seen it and hurriedly run to occupy a seat, because time is very urgent, and this era is not computer counting, and then more and more people come to line up.
This law does not blame the people, and the same is true of Shilin.
These sons and young masters immediately found their servants and told them to calm down for a while, and then ran to the prize pool hall again.
When they came to the prize pool hall, they raised their eyes and couldn't help but be surprised, the first game had broken five thousand taels, and the amount of the three games had exceeded ten thousand.
It's really exciting.
These sons and brothers immediately gathered together, observing the betting situation while discussing how to bet.
"Li Shouqi's riding skills, although it is difficult to run first, but the top three should be fine."
"But don't go down Li Shouqi, that guy went to Zhou Kitchen to drink last night."
"What do you say? Be louder. β
"I said that Li Shouqi went to Zhou Kitchen to drink last night."
....
For a while, if you want the people around you to hear clearly, you have to shout.
......
"Is the old man coming to the wrong place again?"
Xu Mengxi, who had just gotten out of the carriage, couldn't help but be stunned again when he saw the vast number of people in front of the prize pool hall, and his expression was exactly the same as yesterday.
Suddenly, I heard someone on the side: "Listening to what Uncle said, it should be right." β
Xu Mengxi looked back and saw Zhang Cheng coming over, and hurriedly asked, "Prime minister, what's going on?" β
"We still want to ask my uncle what's going on."
Zhang Cheng raised his hand as he said and said, "Let's not guess, let's ask Guo Dan to find out." β
But when I came to the front of the hall, where could I squeeze in, shouted a few times, everyone pretended not to hear, this is about to start, the line is still so long, no one wants to move a seat.
Zhang Cheng could only order someone to squeeze in and call Guo Dan out.
After a while, it was not Guo Dan who came out, but Liu Xinmou.
"Guo Dan?"
Zhang Cheng said curiously.
Liu Xinmou said: "His wife came earlier, and he accompanied his wife to breakfast." β
When Xu Mengxi heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and roared: "How can this be true, the old man didn't even eat dinner for this matter, and he was still in the mood to eat breakfast." β
"Get him now."
Zhang Cheng commanded, and then said to Liu Xin: "You can take us in quickly." β
Xu Menghui suddenly came to his senses, this person is a good sign, but what is the matter, it depends on the betting situation! Hurriedly said: "Hurry up, take us in." β
"Yes."
Liu Xinmou immediately took the two of them through the VIP passage and came to the prize pool hall.
When Zhang Cheng and Xu Mengxi saw the amount of money in the prize pool hall, they suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The bet amount for the first game has exceeded 10,000 taels.
A little eunuch beside him said, "Prime minister, do you want to report to Your Majesty quickly." β
Zhang Cheng was stunned suddenly, and jumped excitedly: "What else are you asking, go quickly, go and report to Your Majesty, hey, this is really good, hahaha......" β
