After a morning of chaos, the situation at the betting outlets gradually returned to calm.

As a sign of good faith, anyone who came in with a gambling ticket for a refund would redeem it, and before noon, a bronze plaque issued by the Council of Elders would be hung in the most conspicuous place.

The refreshment of the comprehensive refund, coupled with the official recognition, people began to change their concepts, and many people who had refunded before came back to bet.

By 4 p.m., business was back in business.

Elder Ma sat in his office and asked his entourage to send over the latest statistics every quarter of an hour.

On the right side of the table was a piece of paper, which was delivered at 10 o'clock at noon, and the total amount of refunds reached 130 million taels, accounting for one-third of the total bet amount.

When he saw this data at that time, he was in a hurry, and he didn't expect that a simple raid would have such a serious impact. He regretted that he didn't do it in secret, but made a big splash and made the city stormy.

When Elder Zhao heard the news, he said that he was very angry, and asked people to come over and spread the word, saying that if the matter could not be calmed down, someone else would immediately take over his position.

Thankfully, things are getting better.

So far, a total of more than 40 million taels of gambling money has returned, and at this rate, by tomorrow morning, it will basically reach the same level.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was put back in his stomach.

"Oh no!" an attendant walked over quickly, and said in an anxious tone, "There are rumors that the dealer has always been controlled by the elders behind the scenes, and the speed of transmission is very fast. ”

Elder Ma's eyes widened: "How did the news leak?"

The attendant shook his head: "I don't know yet, maybe it's someone inside." ”

"Impossible!" Elder Ma said categorically: "The management link is so strict, the people of the Presbyterian Council have never come forward, let alone have any contact with the dealer, everything is remotely commanded, even the internal people don't know the situation, how to leak the news?"

The attendant frowned: "You mean, guessed by those people?"

Elder Ma was noncommittal and asked, "What is the content of the rumors?"

There are two main rumors, one is that all bookmakers are the same in terms of system and odds, if it is different bookmakers, how can it be so consistent.

Even if everyone has the same algorithm, it is unlikely that the same odds will be offered.

Moreover, different bookmakers must compete with each other, or even tear each other down, raise or reduce the odds, which is a normal phenomenon in business, and such consistent odds can only show one problem: someone is behind everything.

Second, all betting outlets operate in the same way, and the new rules are all introduced at the same time, and the content is surprisingly consistent.

Combining these two points, only the Presbyterian Council can be controlled behind the scenes.

In addition, the vigorous and resolute rectification of private betting points also shows that there are cats in it, and the spearhead is directed at the Presbyterian Church.

This is not the most ruthless, rumors say that the Elders will secretly manipulate the game to achieve the purpose of embezzling the assets of bettors, and many previous games have been lost inexplicably in this situation.

Such an argument has been recognized by many people.

In fact, the number of times the elders manipulate the game is not much, but because there are too many games, there will always be accidents of one kind or another, and when no one pays attention, it is naturally calm, but as long as someone is more serious, it is easy to find out the strange from it.

Someone immediately turned out the previous betting rules, what player is late and does not pay, foul does not pay, draw does not pay, all are beneficial to the dealer.

To say that the presbyterian council has nothing to do with the dealer, the ghost doesn't believe it, in the morning, as soon as the raid incident appeared, the presbyterian council couldn't wait to jump out to explain, and also issued official licenses for betting outlets, showing such a positive performance, which shows the problem between the two.

After listening to the explanation, Elder Ma's face sank like water: "Investigate, thoroughly investigate from whose mouth the rumors came from, and severely punish them after they are caught! It is too much, and they dare to pour dirty water on the head of the elders, and it is not enough to set the record straight without killing a few people......

Sui Xiao muttered: "People are not wrong, we are controlling everything behind the scenes." ”

Elder Ma was furious: "Which side are you on? Even if this is the case, we can't let the people know that we are taking the opportunity to make money, and the reputation of the Council of Elders cannot be ruined in the hands of you and me, understand?"

The entourage hurriedly said: "I understand, we have to do things, but we can't let people comment at will, let alone damage the image of the Elders' Church, I'll send someone to check it out immediately." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

Elder Ma took a few deep breaths one after another, and said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming." ”

Another attendant walked in, bowed down and asked, "Elder Ma, what do you command?"

He took a deep breath again and said, "Go find a few powerful pens and prepare an announcement saying that the Council of Elders has nothing to do with the dealer, please don't believe the gossip." If anyone does not believe it, they can investigate it in any way, and add at the end that the rumors should stop at the wise, and do not fall for the ill-intentioned people. ”

The attendant nodded: "Yes." ”

In the evening, official notices began to be posted on the streets.

After reading the content of the notice, Ye Yunyang said: "It's too thick-skinned, dare not do it, push things away, and welcome everyone to investigate, they are really not afraid of revealing their stuffing?"

Lei Shaoyuan snorted lightly: "Let you check, do you dare?"

Ye Yunyang frowned: "There must be someone who dares, there should be no shortage of upright people among the Protoss." ”

The old man smiled: "What kind of place is the Elders' Meeting, even if it is for people to check, the final results of the investigation are also fabricated by them, and they will definitely not let any unfavorable news go out." ”

Indeed, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for the Presbyterian Church.

Ye Yunyang was convinced, and said: "They are stunned to say that the black is white, a group of people who turn the clouds and rain. ”

Lei Shaoyuan chuckled lightly and said, "The most important thing is that the people are willing to believe that in their opinion, as long as it is the explanation given by the elders, there is no problem. ”

Ye Yunyang shrugged, he didn't want to comment too much on this, it was boring.

In a dimly lit dwelling in the city, Mi Yun couldn't wait to ask the visitor: "What's the situation, have the gods made a fuss?"

He concocted the rumors because he saw the violent reaction to the raids and felt that this was a good starting point for them to start with, and if done properly, they would create large-scale chaos in the city.

At that time, countless Protoss took to the streets, denouncing the misdeeds of the Presbyterian Church, and it was out of control.

The person who came shook his head and said with a disappointed face: "The Council of Elders has issued a proclamation, and the statement has nothing to do with the content of the rumors, and many people believe it. ”

Mi Yun smiled bitterly: "These people are too easy to deceive, they can believe whatever the elders say, don't they have to think about it?"

"After all, there is no ironclad evidence, and even if it is true, it will become a rumor. ”

Mi Yun began to be silent, he realized that he had thought things simple, the Council of Elders could rule the God Realm for tens of thousands of years, naturally there was a reason for its existence, plus it had already had deep roots, won the trust of the God Clan, and the image was brilliant and tall, of course, it was impossible for it to collapse because of a little thing.

How difficult it is to produce ironclad evidence.

He suddenly thought of a person, the last time he was at the Meijiadan Pharmacy, Mei Yu said that Ye Yunyang was secretly dealing with the elders' move to collect money, what did Ye Yunyang do?

......

The next morning, the game went ahead as scheduled.

Because there was a little accident yesterday, the number of games today will be adjusted, the two sides will remain the same, and the order of play will be redrawn.

According to yesterday's draw, Ye Yunyang and his opponent were divided into the first round, and today it became the second round, which is a slight difference.

After being scolded by Lei Shaoyuan, Xu Chengye became much more honest, but there was resentment in his eyes, obviously haunted by yesterday's events, and his hatred for Ye Yunyang also rose a notch.

Ye Yunyang didn't look at him squarely, walked up to the referee in the waiting area, and said, "Elder, can I cultivate Xuanli here?"

The referee said politely: "Of course, there is no explicit prohibition in the game rules, but you will be on the field in half an hour, can you be calm?"

Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "Of course, in the morning, I felt that I had some understanding, because I was in a hurry to come to the competition, I didn't stay at the Optimus Pillar too much, and I had this feeling just now, so if I want to seize the time to practice, maybe there will be gains." ”

When the referee heard this, he immediately paid attention to it and said: "Then hurry up, as long as you don't delay the entry time, and even I can go and tell the referee to let him relax the preparation time for the next game." ”

Ye Yunyang clenched his fists: "Thank you, Elder." ”0

The other party returned the salute: "Elder Ye doesn't need to be polite, I am also an alternate elder, that is, colleagues, and it is appropriate to help each other." ”

With that, he walked towards the referee.

Ye Yunyang took out a copy of the divine map from his pocket, hung it on the pole opposite, and then sat down cross-legged.

It is already a difficult thing to calm down and cultivate in the arena, but he still has to participate in the Divine Diagram, and his behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In the audience, Lei Shaoyuan, who was in civilian clothes, smiled helplessly and said, "This kid is going to be a moth again." ”

Mei Ruogu immediately asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"He's not a person who has no purpose, and he doesn't like to be funny, so cultivating in public naturally has a purpose. Lei Shaoyuan said in a deep voice: "With what I know about him, this kid is likely to be upgraded in public." ”

"Huh?" Merakaya was startled.

Lei Shaoyuan smiled: "I have to admit that this strategy is great, if it is upgraded yesterday or the day before yesterday, his chances of winning will be one more point, and the dealer will inevitably change the odds when he gets the news." ”

Mei Ruogu suddenly realized: "He upgraded at the moment before the game, and the dealer didn't have time to react, right?"

Lei Shaoyuan nodded: "That's right." ”

Mei Ruogu gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "This kid is so smart, that is to say, four times the odds, we have decided today." ”

Lei Shaoyuan smiled and said nothing, even if Ye Yunyang didn't upgrade before the game, he would definitely be able to win, the reason why he did this was nothing more than to want to win more reasonably, after all, the other party was a master of the Fifth Heaven of the Flood Desolation Realm, and winning at the level of the Third Heaven would make people suspect that there was something greasy in it.

He has yet to beat a five-day opponent before, only a draw has been recorded.

If he rises to forty days, this suspicion will be reduced by more than half, because in his previous fights, he has won many times against opponents who are one level above him.

In the waiting area of the contestants, Xu Chengye looked disapproving, and said in a mocking tone: "I really don't understand that such a person can be an alternate elder, it's a big joke! Wait, wait for the arena, all the limelight will be grabbed by me, let you experience the feeling of making wedding dresses for others." ”
