The next day in Guobei County, in the morning

Early in the morning, I don't know where a wind blew, and the wind said that the county government had found a mutilated limb part.

As soon as the news came out, everyone began to ask the acquaintances around them who were on an errand in the county government office.

But no one could get any useful information in the morning, such as: is it the "torso" or the "legs"?

Just after noon, the news that the corpse part of the county government was a "torso" suddenly popped up, and the news spread clearly, as if it were true. Just after many people began to choose to believe the rumors, another news came again, and the part that was found was the "leg"!

Guobei County, noon

The county government at this time

"My lord, the gambler knows each other very well, and as soon as we finished talking to him, he said that he had been busy and confused recently, and he forgot to pay back the money of the county magistrate, and he gave six hundred taels with interest, and I have brought it back. It was the man who spoke little, and he was the only one here today.

Zhixian sat on the high-backed chair and responded, "Well, what is the odds distribution of legs and torso now?" Zhixian's fingertips were tapping lightly on the table beside him.

Now the odds for the torso are 1 to 25, and the odds for the legs are 1 to 20. As soon as the words of the head catcher were finished, the hand of the county magistrate also stopped moving, and his fingertips hung in the air.

The magistrate pondered for a moment, his fingertips fell again, and he knocked on the table again, and continued to command:

"Go, find a larger plank, and lay one leg flat on the board, while the other leg is wrapped in a cloth and placed vertically, covered with a white cloth. The messenger of the two letters was locked into the storeroom, and no one was allowed to open the white cloth, and he was strictly guarded. ”

The head catcher asked, "Do you want to avoid the others when carrying them?"

"Not necessarily. Also, no one is allowed to open the white cloth that covers it without the permission of the official. ”

The head catcher did not act immediately, but put the box he had been holding in his hand on the table beside Zhixian, and then opened it.

Six hundred taels of silver, a lot of money.

The magistrate glanced at the silver, stroked twice on the five hundred taels of silver, and said, "Return the five hundred taels to him, and you will share the one hundred taels with everyone." ”

The headcatcher scratched his head, but stepped forward anyway, closed the lid, and carried the box back into his arms.

After the table was emptied, the fingertips of the magistrate continued to tap on the table, and said in his mouth: "I heard that he has been going to Qingyuan Building a lot recently?"

"Yes, my lord, when I finished taking the money today and was about to leave, he also invited Xia Guanyi to come forward. The headcatcher replied.

Zhixian's fingertips stopped and said, "Then you can see him later and tell him a story." ”

The official made a look of deafness and said, "Yes, sir." ”

Zhixian spoke: "There is an old rabbit in the mountains who is dying, and the little rabbit asks him, how did you dodge the hunter's arrows?"

The head catcher was interested in this beginning, and couldn't help but be a little curious about the following.

The magistrate glanced at the appearance of the head catcher, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said:

"The fattest ones died. Zhixian's fingers began to tap on the table again.

"Go ahead, gamblers aren't stupid, you're smart, good thing.." After listening to the words of the magistrate, the head catcher tightened, responded to the promise, and quickly turned around and went out to complete the order given by the magistrate.

After watching the back of the head catcher disappear, the magistrate reopened his mouth: "Let the people in the house take care of their mouths." ”

The old housekeeper on the side replied yes and retreated.

Silence returned to the main hall, only click... Click... The sound still echoed through the room.

Guobei County, mutton wine shop, afternoon.

A drinker was whispering to his companion: "It's the 'torso', the officer of the county government who carried the corpse is my friend, he told me, and they saw with their own eyes the torso covered by a white cloth, locked into the warehouse by two messengers under the supervision of the head catcher." ”

"Really?" the companion didn't believe it.

"That can still be fake, that guy is like a tent. The drinker said as he gestured with his hand.

"Also, if it's high and straight, how can the legs be so open. My companion thought about it and didn't question it anymore.

"I'll tell you..."

The liquor store was full of such conversations, and the news of the torso was getting more and more true, and it seemed that the answer to the gamble had been revealed.

Guobei County, late

By the end of the day, the market had changed,

At this point, the odds for the "torso" become 1 to 2, and the odds for the "legs" become 1 to 30.

Although the person who pressed the "torso" is unwilling, it is better than losing money.

But the people who press the "legs" are in a different mood, and in just one night, I don't know how many sad people have appeared.

There is a precedent for Wang Laohan and gamblers to break out overnight, and the young and old people in Guobei County are very concerned about the results of this last gamble, and everyone wants to be the next lucky one.

Many people are generous this time, and some of them are even more desperate, giving everything they have, just to fight for this ethereal glory and wealth.

Since the opening of gambling during this period of time, some people have constantly modified their bets, and gamblers have been tired of it, so in order to facilitate the statistics of gambling funds, he made a special statement as early as this morning when the market opened:

You can't bet repeatedly, everyone only has one chance, whether to eat and drink spicy food or ruin the family to see what to do.

Tonight is difficult, but rumors are rumors, as long as the yamen has not posted a notice, then the mystery has not yet been revealed.

On the third day of Guobei County, early in the morning

Many people who have not slept all night will wait at the gate of the yamen at dawn, waiting to see today's notice.

It was a long time before a small official carrying a paste tube came out of the county office yawning, and all the people around were staring closely at the roll of paper that the little official held at his elbow.

The little servant didn't speak, rubbed his eyes, brushed the paste by himself, and pasted the notice.

Boom!

The paste tube fell to the ground, and the small half bucket of paste was spilled everywhere.

The little official sobered up, and the moment he saw the notice, the little official knew that his monthly money for a year was gone, three taels of silver.

The onlookers surrounded the little official in an uproar, and at the same time fell silent.

"It's the legs! It's the legs!" cheers cut through the silence.

The third day of Guobei County, morning

Bet

Final word.
