The so-called competition in front of the palace is actually a very ancient tradition in Lin'an City. It was originally called swallow shooting.

During the period of filial piety in the Southern Song Dynasty, every September, Song Xiaozong will personally go to the Yujing Garden to talk about the Yan Shooting Ceremony, the crown prince, the chief executive, and the officials of the capital will wait outside the palace, the music is played, the emperor's will is transmitted, the crown prince brings everyone in, these officials do not wear official uniforms today, they all wear turbans, narrow clothes, belts are tightly tied, and they wear silk shoes that are convenient for movement.

At this time, the chief of the guard under the emperor entered the hall with a bow and arrow, and handed the bow and arrow into the hands of Song Xiaozong. "Song Xiaozong is not a military general.

He first played by himself for a while, and when he finally hit the second piece, the crown prince could bring a hundred officials to celebrate, at this time he would give wine, the crown prince took a hundred officials to start archery, and those who could shoot the third arrow were rewarded with a decree, and the fourth arrow was rewarded again, until the fifth arrow, the real competition began.

The people who came to the competition had already been screened, and they wore purple turbans, narrow clothes, and silk shoes.

At this time, the emperor and officials were drinking in the Imperial Garden, and the results outside would be passed in, and everyone bet on who would lose and who would win for the sake of Tu Le, and the gambling house in Lin'an City secretly opened a handicap.

The Giant Whale Gang, Shang Wuxing, and some other forces in Lin'an City will open the handicap, betting on who wins or loses, and the people who participate in the handicap can press whoever wins, the white wolf is a two-time champion, so the white wolf will not win, because the odds of the white wolf are 1:1, if the white wolf wins, these gangs that open the handicap will also take a cut, and buying the white wolf is to send money to these gangs.

So many people will buy other people to win, and no one has won three consecutive championships in front of the palace, everyone thinks, with a little money, just press one, if you really win, this year's tenant rent may be there.

Gambling is actually a complex kind of statistics, and the ancient gangs have long known how to use the knowledge of statistics to secretly manipulate the handicap. The Giant Whale Gang, Shang Wuxing, the two largest gangs in Lin'an City, was surprised to find that there were many people this time, betting on a nameless boy, this guy is called Xuan Yu, a person from Lin'an City, who went out to fight for a few years, and I heard that he was a soldier at the border.

People who have been trained will have two brushes, such a person must not be comparable to the white wolf's embroidered pillow, such a person is not unseen, but suddenly so many people bet on him, so that the giant whale gang monk Wuxing saw some doorways, and immediately sent someone to tell the old master about it.

The old master quickly made arrangements, reassuring the Giant Whale Gang monk Wuxing that it must be the white wolf who won this time. Although the monk Wu Xing of the Giant Whale Gang believed in the old master, he was still a little worried, because more and more people were betting on Xuan Yu. Some people are manipulated, and most people, not knowing who to listen to, start to follow suit.

When the Giant Whale Gang was having a headache, Ma Chao came, pretended to ask the odds, and found that Xuan Yu's odds were 1:20, so he pressed 20,000 taels of silver in the Giant Whale Gang and Shang Wuxing, such a large amount, the Giant Whale Gang and Shang Wuxing couldn't calm down, and immediately sent someone to the old master to verify whether this time it was really a white wolf to win.

Ma Chao bet the silver, took the voucher, and left, and came to a remote place, the Shenyu team was waiting, Ma Chao asked Zhang Mingli, are you ready? Zhang Mingli said, ready, buy a few players, we can play three brothers, Chang Worm, Tang Jian and Liu Yunfei.

"Let Liu Yun fly down, on the little speaker."

Liu Yunfei frowned when he heard this, and Ma Chao smiled: "Even if you are on it, you are not the protagonist, now that these two gangs have sent people out, they must go to find the old master, take your dog, don't let them run away, let me see, who is this old master?" (To be continued.) )
