"I wonder what the other three families think?"
The Hubu group looked at each other and deliberately refused, but Qin Feng had been flattering Emperor Liang. If Hubu went against the holy will at this time, it would be extremely eye-catching and even more disgusting to Emperor Liang.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was able to keep his composure, stood up slowly, and saluted Emperor Liang: "To the sage, this competition is just a joke among the juniors. It is up to the juniors to decide whether to add this bonus."
Li Rui, who was watching the excitement without feeling too serious, his expression froze, and he couldn't help but greet Qin Feng's ancestors: "You brat, you and Ning Hu fought to the death, what do you care about us? This fire, Why did the burn come to me?"
Seeing Li Rui's hesitation, Qin Feng gave him a strong dose of medicine: "Are you afraid? Or is it because you have been short of money recently and sent all the money to Huafang?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Rui wanted to strangle Qin Feng to death on the spot.
This bitch, how dare he say anything in front of the saint! Moreover, the last time he went to Hua Fang was nearly a month ago. Qin Feng would not let go of this problem. He would bring it up and ridicule it whenever something happened, which made Li Rui angry and helpless.
The Minister of Household Affairs frowned and shouted at Qin Feng: "What a boat painting? Mr. Qin, please pay attention to your words!"
Before Qin Feng could speak, Qin Tianhu had already responded coldly: "Didn't Mr. Li say before that this competition was just a joke among the juniors? Why did he, as an elder, intervene personally? If you are afraid, just admit it, why bother Is this a threat from a junior? Isn’t that an insult to my identity?”
Naturally, the Minister of Hubu was unwilling to argue with Qin Tianhu face to face, so he just snorted coldly and said nothing.
Just when the two sides were arguing, Ning Hu won Qin Feng's heart and shouted directly: "Bet! Qin Feng, remember what I said, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you!"
Qin Feng really likes this stupid young man so much. With him here, why worry about his plan being blocked? If you weren't worried about this little tiger biting someone, you would really want to pet his head as a reward.
Qin Feng clasped his hands behind his back and said with joy on his face: "The Marquis of Yong'an is still alive, and the young Marquis has started calling himself 'this Marquis'? Hahaha, are you too impatient?"
Ning Hu almost died from Qin Feng's words. He was angry and scared. He glanced at Ning Qingquan timidly and found that his father's face was a bit ugly. After all, the sentence "I am the Marquis" just now seems to be a curse to Ning Qingquan to die quickly so that he can inherit the title.
Cheng Fa, who was also caught in the fight, trotted to Ning Hu and reminded him in a low voice: "Young Master, please don't compete with this guy for verbal advantage, otherwise you will lose money if you talk too much."
Ning Hu had already experienced Qin Feng's power. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only accept Cheng Fa's suggestion.
The bet was concluded, but Qin Feng was still dissatisfied. He turned to look at Emperor Liang and said loudly: "Are you just watching the saint do this? Don't you plan to join in?"
Emperor Liang was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Qin Feng would involve him, but since he had already placed a bet on Qin Feng, he didn't care about making another one! Everyone is happy if he wins, and Qin Feng takes the blame if he loses, so he has nothing to lose.
"Since today is the grand day of King Ji's birthday banquet, I will make this special exception. There are no taboos, but it is only for today."
"I can give Qin Feng a thousand taels of silver."
Only one thousand taels? Qin Feng felt a burst of contempt in his heart, thinking that this old guy is simply a tough guy who never pulls out a hair.
The surrounding ministers felt mixed. They did not expect that Emperor Liang would indulge Qin Feng so much and even attend the ceremony in person. However, since Emperor Liang had said it first, there would be no taboos on this day, so all the ministers no longer hesitated, and they all followed suit and placed their bets because of the joy of Bo Longyan.
The Hubu faction did not hesitate and all placed heavy bets on Ning Hu, at least ten thousand taels of silver.
Ning Qingquan was so heroic that he directly pressed fifty thousand taels on Ning Hu.
Although Qin Feng won the hearts of the saints, the officials present were very rational. They mostly put pressure on Ning Hu and had little hope for Qin Feng.
Qin Tianhu originally wanted to cheer Qin Feng up, offering him three thousand taels, but Qin Feng rejected him with his eyes, and then stretched out a finger to shake it.
Qin Tianhu didn't know what was going on and asked in a low voice: "More? One thousand taels?"
Qin Feng still shook his head and signaled Qin Tianhu with his eyes not to get involved.
Qin Tianhu was stunned for a moment, looked at Emperor Liang on the throne, and then recalled the scene where Qin Feng was quarreling with the Confucian scholars at the previous banquet. He suddenly understood something and quickly stuffed the money back into his sleeves, pretending that nothing happened.
From a visual inspection, the officials' gambling money on Ning Hu amounted to more than 500,000 taels, while the gambling money on Qin Feng was less than 10,000 taels.
When Qin Feng saw that the time was almost up, he immediately turned around and shouted at Qin Tianhu, rolling around and saying: "Dad! Li Rui, Chengfa and Ning Hu's father have all bet heavily on their sons. You don't know how to cheer for me." Cheer, am I still your biological child?"
Qin Tianhu felt angry and cursed secretly: "You bastard, didn't you tell me not to participate? Why did you change your attitude in the blink of an eye? Could it be that you become so ruthless that you even cheat your own father?"
Qin Tianhu was about to scold loudly, but he swallowed the words again. Just because Qin Feng, a rebellious boy, actually sat on the ground, kicking his legs and wailing, he was no different from a naughty child. Qin Tianhu immediately understood what Qin Feng meant, his face changed 180 degrees, and he pretended to be serious.
"Although I, Qin Tianhu, am not a breeze, I have always been frugal. In addition to daily expenses, the rest of my annual salary is to help the poor. How can I have spare money for gambling? If you feel that you are living in poverty in the Qin family, who do you want to recognize as your father? Just accept it. Go, I will never stop you."
Qin Feng seemed to have been greatly wronged, and rolled on the ground uncontrollably: "If there is no ten thousand taels, there must be one thousand taels, right? If there is no one thousand taels, there must be one hundred taels, right? Although the bet is small, friendship is the most important thing."
Qin Tianhu stared angrily, rushed over in a few steps, kicked Qin Feng, and shouted angrily: "I am a first-rank official in the court, how can I participate in gambling? It is unbecoming!"
"You're such a traitor, are you trying to ruin your father's official status?! You should be beaten!"
While talking, Qin Tianhu pretended to be real, punching and kicking Qin Feng.
Qin Feng dodged left and right, shouting as he ran: "Dad, that's enough! Stop fighting, are you serious?!"
Watching the father and son singing together, the scene was filled with deathly silence.
The officials who had been actively participating in the gambling just now withered like eggplants beaten by frost.
What's more, they directly scolded in a low voice: "This damn father and son actually joined forces to deceive us!"
The wily and scheming Minister of the Household Department turned green in the face. He could no longer hold his anger and began to curse in a low voice: "I have been a hawk all my life, but my eyes were pecked by a house bird! I didn't expect that I fell into this guy's trick!"
