Zhang Shumo unexpectedly bet on a sharp-toothed jujube general, which made Gao Ning'er on the side a little puzzled.

"Why did you choose a cricket that you can't win? Isn't that a hundred taels of silver thrown away in vain? ”

Zhang Shumo smiled slightly, and explained to Gao Ning'er: "Don't look at the small size of this sharp-toothed jujube general, in fact, this variety of crickets is very fierce, and they are often one of ten thousand. It's just that this cricket is a southern variety, and it is relatively rare in Yan Kingdom, and that person deliberately led us to bet on other crickets, and missed this cricket, probably trying to cheat everyone's money! ”

Gao Ning'er nodded: "I see, then let's go downstairs and eat while waiting, let me see if you are bragging to me." ”

After speaking, the two came downstairs, enjoying the song and dance while tasting wine and food, while waiting for the results of the cricket bet.

Soon, the cricket competition on the third floor had sounded the gong, and Zhang Shumo and Gao Ning'er came to the third floor to watch the results of the game.

At this time, everyone on the third floor gathered around the table with the sign, and many people complained.

Zhang Shumo smiled slightly, and said to Gao Ning'er: "Look, most people here should have made the wrong bet, so they are all complaining here!" ”

Gao Ning'er pursed her lips: "I didn't expect you to really have two hits, let's go, let's squeeze to the front and take a look!" ”

After speaking, the three of them crowded to the table, and there was a sign of the winning cricket on the table.

Seeing this result, Zhang Shumo couldn't help frowning, and wondered in his heart: What is the situation? According to the strength of the variety, shouldn't General Sharptooth Jujube lose to Jin Sushuai?

So Zhang Shumo immediately asked the man, "How many battles did that fanged jujube general win?" ”

The man said regretfully: "It's really a pity to talk about this sharp-toothed jujube general, although he made great efforts in the back and won three games in a row, but unfortunately he was injured in the game due to bad luck, so he had to withdraw." ”

"I said, you didn't mean it! This sharp-toothed jujube general is a rare variety in the south, how can it be so easy to get hurt, are you deliberately cheating my money! The man seemed to be unable to bear the fact that he suddenly roared and grabbed the man by the collar.

At this time, the other people who bet on General Sharptooth immediately expressed their support and began to denounce the man.

Who knew that the man had kung fu in his hands, and he vented the gambler's strength, and then pushed the gambler out violently, knocking down a group of people. After that, he said viciously to the troublemakers: "Everyone, why don't you know what to do? Did I tell you about the favourites before you bet? But you want to vote for this jujube general, what does this have to do with me? Why do you blame me if you lose? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Gao Ning'er pulled the corner of Zhang Shumo's clothes: "Let's go, it's too chaotic here." ”

Zhang Shumo nodded thoughtfully, and then under the escort of Liu Nature, the three of them returned to the second floor.

Seeing that Zhang Shumo seemed to be thinking about something, Gao Ning'er thought that he had made the wrong bet so it was difficult to face himself, so he hurriedly said: "Today is really bad luck, or the general we voted for is really likely to turn defeat into victory!" ”

Zhang Shumo looked at Gao Ning'er, who was comforting him, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Do you really think it's bad luck?" In my opinion, we have been deceived! ”

"Huh?" Gao Ning'er opened her mouth: "You mean they deliberately let General Zao be injured and released into the water?" ”

"Not necessarily, it may be that General Zao was injured in the first place. But anyway, we've all fallen into that man's trap! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo paused, and then continued: "That person deliberately took us around, not to introduce all the crickets, but to make us pay attention to the fanged jujube general. Anyone who loves fighting crickets, even if they have never seen this variety, must have heard of it. That man took advantage of the self-payment of all the people who fought crickets, and everyone thought that they knew the hero, but they didn't know that they had fallen into the trap of that man! ”

Gao Ning'er frowned: "But that person is not afraid that people who don't understand will choose the crickets that may win according to his introduction?" ”

"Most of the people who come here are people who love fighting crickets, and only a few people don't understand, so even if some people choose the right one, he will only make money and not lose money!" Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect that I still need to pay attention to strategy when playing a fighting cricket now." ”

Gao Ning'er smiled: "I can deceive you, it seems that this person is also a little powerful!" ”

Zhang Shumo also nodded: "Indeed, by grasping the psychology of the person who fights crickets, this person made everyone think that he was deliberately hiding General Sharptooth Jujube, but I never thought that he deliberately wanted to focus the general's attention on General Sharptooth Jujube." ”

Liu naturally suddenly shouted: "Do you want me to arrest him and send him to the government?" ”

Gao Ning'er laughed when she heard this: "It's not necessary, except for a very small number of gamblers, most of the people who come to Shunde Lou are the children of official eunuchs, and there is no shortage of these ten taels of silver!" ”

Liu naturally looked at Zhang Shumo: "But he is not rich in his hands!" ”

Zhang Shumo glanced at Liu Tiantian: "No matter how rich I am in my hand, I won't even be able to take out 10 taels of silver!" ”

The three of them laughed like this, and before they knew it, half an afternoon had passed. Just as the three of them were about to leave, Bi Dao hurried over with a team of men.

"Miss, Zhang Gongzi, Fan Xiang is looking for Zhang Gongzi now, and the master asked me to inform Gongzi first."

When Zhang Shumo heard this, he immediately asked, "Why is Fan Xiang looking for me again?" ”

Bi Dao hurriedly said: "It's still about the arson case in Jingzhaoyin's prison, it is said that a witness voluntarily surrendered!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Shumo immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart. A witness voluntarily turned himself in, but Fan Yao wanted to find me, which shows that the matter that person confessed must be related to himself, could it be that His Royal Highness has not revealed the perjury for himself?

Before he had time to think about it, Bi Dao said to Zhang Shumo: "Master Zhang, the master asked me to take the young lady back to the house first, and you should also go to the post house as soon as possible, Fan Yao's people should go to the post house immediately, and you can discuss with your subordinates when you go back earlier." ”

Zhang Shumo nodded, immediately separated from Gao Ning'er, and then rushed all the way back to the post house.

When he arrived at the post house, as soon as Zhang Shumo gathered his subordinates, Deng Fei brought someone to the door.

"Zhang Gongzi, there has been new progress in the arson case in the prison now, Fan Xiang has something to ask you!"

Zhang Shumo sighed: "Can I ask if there is any progress?" ”。

Deng Fei looked at Zhang Shumo, and snorted coldly for some reason: "An important witness has surrendered, and I don't know the specific things, you can ask yourself!" After speaking, Deng Fei made a gesture of please.

Zhang Shumo scratched his head and led his subordinates to follow Deng Fei to Jingzhao Yin Yamen!
