The court has the means of the court, and the yamen has the rules of the yamen.
As one of the top figures in the Bianliang yamen circle, everyone is usually more or less polite. Even if there is a quarrel, they will pay attention to the scale and not lose face.
But today Zhao Yunsheng made an exception...
Now everyone is throwing their faces on the ground and trampling on them. If anyone loses someone, there will really be no room left at all.
"You can play however you want."
Zhao Congyue's eyes flashed for a moment, then his smile returned, and he said cynically: "How about we still follow our previous rules? Win two out of three games. Whoever loses will admit defeat."
"Come on, I happen to have itchy hands too."
Zhao Yunsheng showed no signs of cowardice and immediately accepted the challenge: "A certain person has 30% of the say in Wanyue Tower. If you win, 30% will be given to you... Today's matter will be revealed and not mentioned!"
"readily!"
Zhao Congyue clapped his hands and said with a smile: "If you win, Wanhua Tower belongs to you. You can do whatever you want... I will finish this matter today, and I will give you a satisfactory answer!"
"That's it..."
Zhao Yunsheng wanted to make a decision immediately.
"What a mess!"
Cao An stopped him with a smile.
Then, he looked at Zhao Congyue and said jokingly: "Brother Zhao, is he too sleepy? How can the Wanyue Building matter be settled without Cao's participation?"
"Brother Cao also wants to play?"
Zhao Congyue smiled, with a playful look on his face.
Zhao Yunsheng couldn't help but frown, held Cao An's wrist, and said calmly: "This is a matter between us, you don't have to worry about it. If you lose, I will compensate you."
"Go away, who are you disgusting with?"
Cao An laughed and scolded: "Do I need that little pocket money? It's just a Wan Yue Tower. Even if I throw it away and feed it to the dogs, someone can get one that is more profitable than it in an instant!"
He was very confident when he said this.
He was so confident that Zhao Congyue was in a daze. Where did this grandson get his courage?
"Since Brother Cao insists on participating, let's just have fun. We're not outsiders anyway."
He looked at Cao An with a smile and said calmly: "But since we are playing for three people, do we need to add an extra pound to the lottery? Otherwise, someone will suffer a loss."
"Haha, is that a problem?"
Cao An was even more arrogant than Zhao Yunsheng, and immediately said: "If you win, I will give away all the shares of the two companies in Wanyue Building, plus the Cao Chamber of Commerce!"
Zhao Congyue suddenly smiled, very complicated.
"That's a deal?"
"Cao is a gentleman!"
"Come on, get a pen and paper..."
Soon, a man brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
In front of hundreds of onlookers, the three signed a bet about Cuju.
Haha, are you playing with this?
The remaining worry in Cao An's heart disappeared in an instant!
Xiao Zhao, just wait to die.
The contract was completed quickly, and countless people in Fan Lou confirmed that even if this bet had a 'legal effect', if someone wanted to go back on it, they could drown him in spitting water!
Cao An wiped the red mud on his fingertips and said casually: "However, Brother Zhao's bet needs to be changed."
Zhao Congyue also looked determined to win and waved his hand: "Brother Cao, please speak."
"If you win, the bet is still valid!"
Cao An looked at it with a smile and said slowly: "But if you are lucky enough to lose, I don't want Wanhualou. That kind of rubbish shop only makes a few dollars a year!"
Many people in Fan Tower looked at each other...
You know, before Wanyue Building opened, Wanhua Building was the industry leader, and its intimidating power was not exaggerated. It was really making money every day.
Even if the business fails now, there can still be tens of thousands of profits every year.
How come it turns into garbage when it reaches your mouth?
Zhao Congyue still smiled: "Then what do you want?"
Cao An slowly leaned forward.
He leaned forward on the table and stared at Zhao Congyue: "If I win, you don't have to give up Wanhua Building, and you don't have to pay any other price... Just an apology!"
"Apologize?"
Zhao Congyue seemed to have heard a big joke.
Growing up, there were only a handful of people who could make him apologize. Even if he was the first to come, he would still have to give in for the sake of the Hanjun Palace!
However, Cao An still looked at him seriously and said quietly: "What I am talking about is that kind of sincere and heartfelt apology... You have to give one to me."
"..."
Zhao Yunsheng and Zhao Congyue were stunned on the spot at the same time, and then stared at Cao An with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
There are many ways to insult people, kowtow to be at the top of the list!
Even the onlookers around can’t stand it...
You, Cao An, don’t regard Zhao Congyue as a human being at all!
Zhao Pu's grandson, the proud son among the powerful, does he kneel down whenever he is told?
Zhao Yunsheng also felt that this matter was a big deal, but now that Cao An had spoken out, he could no longer stop him, otherwise he would think that he was really afraid of Zhao Congyue.
"What? Don't you dare?"
Zhao Yunsheng also took the risk and said with an arrogant smile: "If you can't afford the gamble, then go back and nurse as soon as possible. From now on, when you go out, remember to put your tail between your legs and eat at the child's table!"
"……OK."
Zhao Congyue's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered even more fiercely: "In this case, if Brother Cao loses, then leave Bianliang! I can give you a payment."
If Cao An leaves Bianliang, it means that he will never get ahead again.
Zhao Cong has about 10,000 ways to kill him!
"It's a deal!"
Snapped!
The two high-fived the covenant.
In front of everyone, no one can deny it, otherwise the face of each family will be lost.
…
Fan Lou’s shopkeepers and spectators were already excited.
One spectator couldn't help but sigh: "A bet worth hundreds of thousands of gold! This has never happened before the founding of the Song Dynasty, right?"
Several shopkeepers also looked at each other.
"How much does the two Wanyue Buildings cost? We can't earn it in our lifetime..."
"Moreover, if Zhao Congyue loses, he will kowtow to Cao An...kowtow! Cao An is really crazy. This is not a bet, but a gamble with life!"
Chen Shuang and Li Yougui were also standing in the crowd...
The two looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Brother Li, I'm afraid this is not a good thing!"
Chen Shuang lowered his head and whispered: "How can the face of Prince Han be trampled on at will? Mr. Cao Lang is making enemies of the entire circle of powerful people. He..."
Since joining the Cao Chamber of Commerce, Chen Shuang feels that the spring of his life has finally come.
But he never thought that spring would be so short... Cao An's method of committing suicide once again refreshed his shallow understanding.
"But I believe Mr. Cao!"
Li Yougui did not hesitate and said in a cold voice: "If I lose, I will sell my property immediately and never show up in Bianliang again! Being able to participate in such an ancient bet makes it worth losing!"
"Hey, why don't you think that Mr. Cao can win?"
Chen Shuang sighed: "But his bet is too big, even if he wins, it will be a disaster!"
Li Yougui suddenly smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said boldly: "Why do you want so much? You only have a small fortune, so I can afford to lose!"
He is different from Chen Shuang.
There are people behind Chen Shuang, and there are quite a few powerful people with interests.
So even if he loses, he still has a way out. The worst case is cutting off the flesh, but one's wealth and life can still be saved.
But if he doesn't have Cao An, then everyone will scream and beat him, and even if he doesn't leave, he will be forced to death!
