"You guys are back..." Lu Zijian gasped: "Brother Xu Que, did you really hand in a blank paper?"
Xu Que and Xu Fan were stunned. They didn't expect that Lu Zijian was so anxious just to ask Xu Que if he had turned in a blank...
"My little brother didn't hand in a blank paper." Xu Fan said on Xu Que's behalf.
"Didn't hand it in? Have you finished answering the questions?" Lu Zijian asked blankly.
"Yeah." Xu Cao nodded: "Brother Zijian, is this just the reason for asking this question?"
Xu Que felt very strange. What did it have to do with them whether he handed in a blank paper or not? And along the way, many people seemed to be concerned about this issue, which really made him confused...
"It's fine if you don't hand it in, it's fine if you don't hand it in!" Lu Zijian stroked his chest and immediately put on a smile: "You two brothers don't know something. Someone set up a game today to bet on whether Xu Que can win the election and whether he will hand it over. Got the white roll!"
ah?
Xu Fan and Xu Que were stunned. After they looked at each other, they were both a little shocked. Who is so boring and actually set up a gambling game?
"Brother Zijian, who set up the bet? Can I place a bet?" Xu Que asked quickly.
"The person who set up the gambling game seems to be from Beimang." Lu Zijian glanced at Xu Que and said, "You definitely can't do it. After all, you are the one betting, but Brother Pingkang can bet."
Xu Que's eyes lit up. He was still worried about how to get money. Unexpectedly, the enemy came to his door. This... if he didn't kill him, he would be sorry for his name.
"What are you betting on? How to place your bets?"
"Bet on whether you hand in a blank, whether you win the lottery, and whether you can enter the top three. As for how to place your bet, you can just go to the Qianyuan Inn, where a gambling game is being set up." Lu Zijian said.
After hearing about the place, Xu Que took out all the belongings and handed them to his elder brother without thinking.
Seeing so many banknotes, Lu Zijian was dumbfounded, and Xu Fan was also stunned.
"Brother, what are you..."
Before Xu Fan could finish his words, Xu Que said: "Brother, go and take a look at the odds. If the odds are high, bet them all on the top three. If you win the Huiyuan, or the first place If so, just put your money on this!"
Hearing what Xu Que said, Xu Fan immediately understood. He did not expect that his brother would be so confident. After nodding, he quickly flew towards Qianyuan Inn.
Seeing this, Lu Zijian hurriedly followed him out. He felt that Xu Que must be very confident when he bet so much money on him, so he also planned to increase the bet. After all, even if he was not in high school, he could still make a lot of money. The bowl is full!
Xu Que smiled bitterly. What he didn't expect was that Lu Zijian actually trusted him so much. However, thinking about it carefully, Lu Zijian seemed to trust them since they met him now.
Hey, I didn’t expect that fans in this era would be so fanatical...
Inside Qianyuan Inn
More than a dozen Beimang people held their bills high and shouted, as if they had been given a shot of blood.
"Come on, bet quickly, it's about to close!"
"I escorted Xu Que to hand over the blank paper."
"How is it possible? Xu Que is a talented person from our Nanfeng Prefecture. I bet he will win the imperial examination!"
…
As more and more people place bets, the entire Qianyuan Inn has entered a fever pitch.
And just as these students were placing their bets, a very discordant voice sounded:
"I'm betting on Xu Que to be in the top three of high school!"
As the voice fell, everyone looked at the person who was shouting.
This person is none other than Xu Fan and Lu Zijian who came in such a hurry!
This was not shouted by Xu Fan, but by Lu Zijian who raised his hand next to him.
"I would like to ask the dealer, I bet Xu Que High School's top three, will you take it?" Lu Zijian asked loudly.
Before the waiters could reply, a young man in brocade upstairs immediately replied loudly: "Yes, as long as you dare to place a bet, our Beimang Tongyuan Bank will accept it!"
After hearing that this game was set up by Beimang Tongyuan Bank, many college students started talking about it.
You know, Beimang Tongyuan Bank is the biggest rich man in Beimang. If they dare to play a game, there will be big problems... Let's talk about the rumors, since Beimang attacked Dayan, this Tongyuan Bank has been He is constantly calculating Dayan Cangyun’s ticket number.
An insider once said that Tongyuan Bank exchanged a lot of banknotes for Cangyun Bank in order to exchange them for real money so as to bring down Cangyun Bank. Now it seems that this rumor may not be true. It's true...
"Can you make a statement?" Xu Fan raised his head and asked the young man.
"More than one hundred thousand taels, Ke Liyan, I just don't know if you dare?" The young man replied with a smile.
"Okay, then we'll bet Xu Que to be in the top three of high school!" Xu Fan said, and took out a lot of banknotes from his arms.
Seeing such a stack of banknotes, all the students were dumbfounded. According to preliminary estimates, it was at least more than two hundred thousand taels, right?
"Haha, cool, I wonder who you are?" the young master asked with a laugh.
"I am Xu Fan, whose courtesy name is Pingkang. I am Xu Que's elder brother!" Xu Fan introduced himself.
When he heard that it was Xu Que's brother, the expression on the young man's face suddenly froze, as if his whole body had been tapped.
The surrounding students were also a bit unresponsive. They all seemed to have noticed something!
Who would do this if they didn't have any confidence in using hundreds of thousands of taels to keep their younger brother? But, then again, if Xu Que didn't hand in the blank test, wouldn't he be very likely to be on the list? Another possibility is that even if Xu Que fails to hand in the blank test, he may not be on the list. Anyway, there are many variables, and no one dares to guarantee that Xu Que will win...
An old man next to the young master whispered in the young man's ear. No one knew what he said specifically, but since the old man finished speaking, the young man's face didn't look good.
"May I ask, do you dare to accept it?" Xu Fan asked.
"Brother Xu, please come up and discuss it in detail. After all, the details of this bet need to be discussed." The young master said.
And when Xu Que went upstairs, the old man beside the young man shook his head helplessly. He did not agree with the young master engaging in this kind of gambling, but the young master refused to listen, which made him very helpless...
After Xu Fan and Lu Zijian went upstairs, the young man warmly received them, and then discussed the content of the bet with Xu Fan.
What surprised Xu Fan was that the young man would bet him up to 100,000 taels of silver, and the odds were one to two...
Xu Fan asked in confusion: "Master, I clearly see that the odds you set are one to four, why are they only one to two when it comes to me?"
Before the young man could explain, the old man next to him explained with a smile: "The odds change based on the amount of bets. If you bet two hundred thousand taels, the odds will decrease. Therefore, I discussed with the young master, at most I’ll give you a bet of one hundred thousand taels.”
Xu Fan looked at the young man with a vague understanding, and found that the other party nodded. He said no more. After checking that there were no problems with the bet contract, he handed the one hundred thousand taels of silver notes to the other party.
After Xu Fan and Lu Zijian left, there began to be more students from the two countries below.
In fact, this bet was not just for Xu Que, there were other people selected, but they were not as popular as Xu Que.
After walking out of the inn, Lu Zijian asked with a smile: "Brother Pingkang, why don't you help me?"
"Can you be on the list?" Xu Fan asked casually, looking at the road ahead.
Lu Zijian was speechless. This was because he didn't look down upon him at all, but that was right. He had taken the exam three times and it seemed he had never passed high school...
As the two returned to the guild hall, Xu Fan informed Xu Que of the documents and the matter.
After Xu Que listened to his elder brother's story, he roughly understood something, but what he didn't expect was that this feudal society actually had a method of betting to reduce the multiplier. He always thought that this drawback was discovered by modern people...
"Brother, the rankings will be opened tomorrow. Should we go back today or wait until the rankings open tomorrow?" Xu Fan asked.
Xu Que said without hesitation: "Of course I will go back after collecting the money tomorrow after the rankings are opened. Can this money still be sent to our Zheyang County?"
"That's not impossible. As long as we have this receipt, we won't be afraid that they won't give us the money. And even if we return to Zheyang County, they will send the money."
Xu Que was shocked, but after thinking about it again, he understood...
