Chapter 53: A Gamble
However, it seemed to think of something, and with a smile on its face, it placed the paper bag on the table.
Liu Changfeng clapped his palms twice and said, "Everyone, be quiet!"
When everyone heard this, they slowly quieted down.
Liu Changfeng picked up the paper bag and looked at everyone: "This is the list of newcomers in Wufu this year!"
Everyone looked at the paper bag together, knowing that it was the key to whether Liu Changfeng could become the county lord this time!
The Yuanling Mine has never appeared in the matter of a young miner joining the Wufu! Liu Changfeng's recommendation is not small, and he has been working up and down for many years, so as to take advantage of the situation to win the position of the county lord of Yuanxian County, it is a sure thing!
Liu Changfeng laughed and said, "Everyone is happy today! How about betting on a game?"
On the mine, there are very few things to have fun, and most of the people present are fond of all kinds of gambling games!
The red-faced man's name is Zhang Jian, and he is the deputy mine owner with Zhao Jin, but he is the best!
After listening to Liu Changfeng's words, Zhang Jian took the lead in stroking his palm and laughing: "Okay!
Zhao Jin, who was on the side, scolded secretly in his heart again: "Phew, shameless sycophant!"
With a smile at the moment, Zhao Jin said: "The mine owner mentioned this, it is really a righteous voice! Such a happy thing, I almost missed it! But I don't know how the mine owner is going to gamble?"
Liu Changfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, stroked his beard and said, "Just guess this Lu Yu, what kind of assessment he gets!"
Zhang Jian, who was on the side, stroked his palms again and praised: "Okay! The mine owner will discuss it! Please ask the mine owner to guess first!"
"One thousand taels of silver! Elite assessment!" Liu Changfeng laughed and put out the bet.
"Okay, then I'll follow the mine owner and press five hundred taels! Bet on Lu Yu and win the title of elite student!" Zhang Jian said immediately.
After the two finished speaking, they looked at Zhao Jin together.
Zhao Jin hesitated for a moment, and said, "I also pressed five hundred taels, betting that this Lu Yu would win the title of ordinary student!" "What is an elite student? That must be the first hundred new students! In any case, he felt that it was impossible for Lu Yu, this kid, to get such an evaluation!"
Seeing the three mine leaders, they all made bets, and the others followed.
There are big bets of one hundred or fifty taels, but more of them are small bets of one or twenty taels! Among the people, many of them have inquired about Lu Yu's past in recent days, so they are still betting on ordinary students.
"Fifty taels! Bet on Lu Yu to get the genius evaluation!" A discordant voice sounded among everyone!
Everyone was taken aback, and they all looked at the man, only to see that it was an overseer in the fourth mining area, named He Qiang.
There are people who are familiar with him, hehe teased: "He Qiang, the title of genius student, at least needs to be ranked in the top ten! Hehe, were you stupid by Lu Yu back then?
He Qiang glared at the person who spoke, and said, "I want you to take care of it!" Then he arched his hand to Liu Changfeng and asked, "Master Mine, can the little one bet on the title of genius student?"
Liu Changfeng smiled and said, "Of course you can, record his bets as well!"
The person who recorded next to him hurriedly wrote down, "He Qiang, bet on the title of genius student, tattoo fifty taels of silver!"
The others continued to bet, and after a while, everyone had finished betting.
Liu Changfeng shook the yellow paper bag lightly with his left hand, and laughed: "Now, let's see what the result is!"
Tearing off the fire paint seal of the paper bag, Liu Changfeng took out three notebooks from the bag, and then handed the thickest one to the master on the side and said, "Let's announce the list of ordinary students first!"
The master hurriedly took it and read, "Nine hundred and sixty-seven, Zhang Shuo ...... Hejian"
Everyone listened attentively, and those who bet on ordinary students were even more nervous.
"One hundred and one, the state capital Nie Mad!" finally finished reading, and the master hurriedly picked up a cup of tea and drank it.
"Alas......" Among the crowd, there was a sound of unwilling sighing, these are naturally people who bet on the title of ordinary students!
Zhang Jian was overjoyed, but Zhao Jin regretted it with a sad face!
Liu Changfeng laughed, picked up the second copy, and said, "This one, I'll read it myself!"
At this time, in the eyes of everyone, the victory and defeat have already been divided, and those who bet on the elite are all happy in their hearts! Those who bet on the ordinary are a little absent-minded.
Reading and reading, Liu Changfeng's voice was a little strange, just because he had reached more than thirty, he still hadn't seen Lu Yu's name!
Liu Changfeng's voice quickened, and he continued to read forward!
"Eleventh, Yuxian Zhao Huai!" Liu Changfeng announced in a trembling voice!
"Boom" Everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at He Qiang, the overseer who bet on the title of genius!
He Qiang was also a little stunned with excitement, and said in ecstasy: "I know! I know! Twelve-year-old kid, beat me to lie down for more than a month! Haha, if you have tasted Lu Yu's iron fist, it will not be me He Qiang who won today!"
Liu Changfeng's hands also trembled slightly! The higher Lu Yu's evaluation, the greater the credit of the person he recommended! Compared to the position of the county lord, this thousand taels of silver tickets is just a trivial matter!
"Haha, let's take a look at how many talented young men from our Yuanling Mine have won!" Liu Changfeng threw aside the list of elite students, and reached out to pick up the last one, recording the post of the genius list!
Can't wait to open it, Liu Changfeng read: "Tenth place, Hou Qing, the state capital!"
"Fifth ......" Liu Changfeng stopped chanting aloud, quickly searched up, then rubbed his drunken eyes, and looked at it carefully!
"Bang", the furious Liu Changfeng lifted the long table in front of him, and the cups and plates of dishes were scattered all over the ground! Many people were caught off guard, and they all made a face.
"Rubbish! It's a big deal for me!" Liu Changfeng roared angrily, kicked over the chair behind him, and brushed his sleeves away!
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Zhao Jin on the side picked up the list of geniuses in the mess, looked at it, and muttered to himself: "No...... This...... This Lu Yu didn't even make it to the Martial Mansion!"
His heart was also cold, this Lu Yu didn't even enter the Martial Mansion, which also meant that Liu Changfeng's dream of ascending to the throne of the county lord by recommending it had completely come to naught! Liu Changfeng couldn't become the county lord, and the opportunity for him to become a deputy mine owner was naturally lost!
At this time, Zhao Jin's heart had already realized Liu Changfeng's anger. He also gritted his teeth and said: "Miners are miners, garbage like things! Sure enough, it is a waste that dog meat does not serve on the table, and mud cannot support the wall!"
He thought for a moment, got up and followed Liu Changfeng's footsteps, and went out.
In the hall, only the people who were at a loss and stunned were left!
