An ox cart arrived at the Yulinwei camp, far away, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at it, only to see the queue of people stretching for hundreds of meters, and the man nodded: "There are a lot of people here, and I can finally give an account to the king." ”

As soon as the ox cart stopped, the coachman and the servant jumped down, moved a chair that could be pushed down, and carefully lowered the man on the chair, and slowly pushed it to the entrance.

Some people nearby were curious, and it was not mainly people who looked at it, but this chair that could sit and walk, it was no different from an ordinary chair, and there were two wheels at the bottom that were a few circles smaller than the ox cart wheel, which were fixed with the chair, and the servants pushed it behind it, which was very convenient.

This thing is called a wheelchair, it is half a year ago a caravan into Beijing to pass out of things, although there are some whimsical ideas, ordinary people can not imagine, but there is one, it is not difficult to imitate, half a year has passed, there are several grocery stores in the capital to sell this wheelchair, the carpenter in the capital basically everyone will make, convenient for the elderly and sick who are not good at walking.

It's not surprising that someone is being pushed in a wheelchair to watch the excitement now.

"My lord, the small one has publicized this matter in the rivers and lakes according to your instructions, but it seems that the number of people, I am afraid that even if the small one does not help, there will be many people. The servant who pushed the wheelchair forward was swaying, and his eyes seemed to have a strange light, faintly with a sinister aura, but he said lightly.

The acting king has become one of the favorites in the competition, and he has only heard of it before, but now when he sees this meeting with his own eyes, he knows how heavy this prince is.

It's just a flock of people from the rivers and lakes.

Jianghu people don't really want to stay away from the temple, who doesn't have a little ambition?

can be different from scholars, the opportunities for people in the rivers and lakes to advance are few and dangerous, countless people go into the camp, and they want to take refuge in a real powerful person but cannot, this time to recruit the head of the palace on behalf of the palace is indeed a good opportunity.

Even if you don't want to take refuge in the powerful, and want to make a name for yourself, this competition is also a great opportunity.

It was none other than Fang Zhen who was sitting in a wheelchair, listening to the servant's words, allowing him to gently push the wheelchair and go straight to a passage with a sparse queue.

"Collect money?"

"Yes, you go through that passage, one person has three yuan, you go through this channel, one person has thirty yuan. ”

Listening to the voice of the gatekeeper and looking at the uncovered box in front of him, Fang Zhen was silent for a while, and couldn't help but be impressed by the ability to collect wealth on behalf of the king.

"My lord?" the servant couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and stopped.

"Pay for it, it's only sixty cents. Fang Zhen said.

Do you still want to deliberately show your identity for sixty yuan? Although his status in the Huaifeng Marquis Mansion has changed, he has not reached this point.

The servant had to take out a small string of money and throw it into the box before he could enter.

The two of them went in only to find that compared with the excitement inside, the outside scene was nothing at all, the whole venue was bustling with people passing through, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of people, and the thought of paying three pennies per person when they come in is a little funny, and the master and servant who feel a little funny look at each other.

"Although there are a lot of people, even if there are 10,000 people, that is, tens of thousands of dollars, it is only a few dozen taels of silver, so why bother?

"Little Hou Ye, don't say that, you don't know, the people in the capital are the best at watching the excitement, if you don't collect money, I'm afraid that 100,000 people will be squeezed in. ”

"Not only can't it squeeze in, but it's also easy to get into trouble. "The servant is actually the warrior recruited by the Hou Mansion, not really a servant, replied.

Fang Zhen thought thoughtfully: "Yes, this is the capital, if something happens and there is a trampling incident, the acting king will have to be impeached." ”

But it's not just people, the steaming food stalls are filled with white smoke and white smoke, exuding an enticing fragrance, and the hawkers are shouting loudly and loudly.

Not only to buy soup cakes and snacks, but also to look at fortune telling, and then look at the crowd, and see the candy seller!

In previous years, it was May at this time, and because the weather was hot, there were fewer candy sellers.

But this year in May, the weather is a little abnormal, Fang Zhen looked at the old man who sold sugar, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The servant didn't think much of it, but came in and looked around, and found his destination, a viewing booth that had been built long ago.

At the shed is the VIP area, one row is higher than the other, no matter which position you sit in the shed, you can see the five rings without being blocked.

"Looking at the shed for one or two silver, I heard that the stall entered, and a stall paid 100 Wen, and the Wangfu really made money. The servant pushed forward and couldn't help but say, "This will cost five or six hundred taels, right?"

The viewing shed is a reed shed, and people who sit here are people with some status and money.

The strange thing is that even if the money is the same, the high position is a high-ranking official, or a famous lifter, and ordinary lifters and showmen can only be squeezed below, and it seems that everyone knows their position the same.

On both sides of the shed is a stepless uphill road, which is convenient for people who are not good at walking in and out, and the servant cart will put Fang Zhen in, and find a person to see the position, and there is no need to help Fang Zhen down, just sit in a wheelchair to watch the game.

At this time, there were not many people in the shed, and there were only a few people sitting there, all of them were quite far away, Fang Zhen took a look, these people should be low-grade Beijing officials, and they looked a little raw.

A small breeze blew, Fang Zhen tightened the thick cloak on his body, and frowned: "It's a little cold." ”

The servant said, "Yes, it's almost May, and it's still frosty, and today the clouds are strange, like flags, and like knives." ”

Fang Zhen glanced at the sky, the clouds were patchy, indeed as the servant said, the shape was like a flag and a knife, but this didn't mean anything, the shape of the clouds was not strange.

He didn't care about this, and was about to speak, when someone came over with a small wooden box, a middle-aged man, wearing a silk robe, with a few pockmarks on his face, and his temperament was a bit like that of a Jianghu person, but he was dressed quite decently, or he was a housekeeper of a large family.

The middle-aged man was just asking the people in the shed, and at this time he came over, saluted Fang Zhen, and asked: "This adult, I don't know if you are willing to buy bets? Yes, the little one can explain the rules of betting to you." ”

"Buy?"

Fang Zhen didn't refuse immediately, but was a little skeptical about fairness, and asked, "How can you ensure fairness?

The middle-aged man replied: "This is not, this business of buying and betting has nothing to do with the Daiwangfu, it was Mr. Lu who contacted seven or eight companies and paid Daiwang three thousand taels for free, so it was carried out." ”

"Mr. Lu?" Fang Zhen understood as soon as he heard it: "Lu Fengyun, the retainer of the Acting Prince's Mansion?"

When the middle-aged man saw that Fang Zhen knew so much about the affairs of the Daiwang Mansion, he knew that this must be a child of an official family, and smiled: "You guessed right, it is Mr. Lu." However, the seven big shops that Mr. Lu contacted were specifically responsible for betting on it, each with its own backstage. ”

"If you have one, you may be worried about fairness, but if you have seven, no one can manipulate it. ”
