"Can."
The emperor said calmly.
Gambling is not a bad thing in Daxia's upper class society. On the contrary, it is a very elegant activity.
"Everyone, in view of the strength between the two sides, I give the following odds. You can just bet on whichever side you like."
"If the scholar from the Imperial College wins, he will bet one hundred taels of silver and lose one copper plate, and so on."
"If you bet on Chen Fan to win and bet one hundred taels of silver, then you will lose ten thousand taels of silver, and so on."
Fan Zeng looked at everyone with a smile and said.
"Pfft."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help laughing.
This is simply a mockery of Chen Fan in front of everyone, because the odds show that Chen Fan has no chance of winning.
Although Zhong Wuwei and others were very dissatisfied with the odds, they could not say anything.
Because judging from the current strength of both sides, Chen Fan is definitely bound to lose, so there is no problem with this odds.
"I bet a thousand or two scholars to win."
"I'll bet three thousand Liangguo scholars to win."
"I'll bet five thousand Liangguo's scholars to win."
…
At this time people shouted loudly.
These people were basically members of the Fan Zeng and Kong families. They were betting not to win a few copper coins, but to humiliate Chen Fan.
When they heard the sounds of placing bets, Zhong Wuwei and others had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
"Since everyone is in such high spirits, I'll come and have some fun too."
At this moment, Kong Lingda stood up and said.
At this time everyone looked at him.
“Young people are commendable for their courage, but they must not underestimate their capabilities.”
"I bet 10,000 yuan on the scholarship of the two princes to win."
Kong Lingda said to everyone, but his eyes kept looking at Chen Fan.
As soon as Kong Lingda opened his mouth, the ministers below who were originally neutral all followed the example of the scholar in charge of the Imperial College.
So far, no one has bet on Chen Fan to win.
The emperor on the side did not place a bet to show fairness, but there was a sense of pity in his eyes when he looked at Chen Fan.
He was not optimistic about Chen Fan either.
After all, whether in terms of numbers or strength of both sides, Chen Fan had no chance of winning.
The emperor also knew very well what it meant for Chen Fan to lose.
"Chen Fan, it seems that everyone doesn't like you!"
At this moment, a young man suddenly came to Chen Fan and said.
"I've met the third prince."
"I've met the third prince."
…
Seeing this young man, Zhong Wuwei and others immediately saluted.
This young man was the third prince that Chen Fan had met in the inn before.
Seeing the third prince, Chen Fan suddenly smiled. He had cheated him of a lot of money last time!
At this time, the third prince looked at Chen Fan with a happy smile on his face, as if he was taking revenge.
Seeing the smile on the third prince's lips, Chen Fan also turned up the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.
"Third Prince, do you want to hear a story? Do you have enough money this time?"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, the smile on the third prince's face suddenly solidified.
Because after he went home that day, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He knew that he had been tricked by Chen Fan.
This made him very angry.
Chen Fan mentioned this matter again at this time, which immediately made the third prince lose his face.
"Chen Fan, please pay me your money, otherwise you will never leave the palace today."
The third prince raised his fist and threatened.
"Third Prince, please don't mess around."
Before Chen Fan could speak, Fang Zhengru on the side said with a serious face.
The third prince is usually very bold, and there are only a few people in the capital who can scare him.
Fang Zhengru is one of them.
Because now Fang Zhengru is also the teacher of the third prince.
When the third prince heard Fang Zhengru's words, he immediately shrank his neck.
"I was just joking with him."
The third prince smiled awkwardly.
"Third Prince, do you want to get back the money you spent that day?"
Chen Fan looked at the third prince with a smile on his face and said.
Upon hearing this, the third prince's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are you willing to pay me back the money I spent that day?"
"Hurry up and hand over the money!"
The third prince immediately stretched out his hand and said.
Hearing this, Chen Fan immediately shook his head.
"Who said I have to pay you back?"
Chen Fan asked rhetorically.
This made the third prince suddenly look angry, thinking that Chen Fan was deliberately teasing him.
"I can give you a way to make money for free."
Chen Fan said mysteriously.
Hearing this, the third prince immediately became interested.
"What kind of connection?"
The third prince asked curiously.
Chen Fan pointed at Fan Zeng on the stage and said: "Take one thousand taels and buy me a win, then you can get one hundred thousand taels."
"Isn't that just to get back the money you spent listening to the story that day?"
Hearing this, the third prince's eyes suddenly became angry.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Isn't it a waste of money to buy you to win now?"
The third prince said angrily.
The voice was loud and everyone looked over.
Fan Zeng also looked at Chen Fan at this time.
Chen Fan's eyes were filled with sarcasm.
"Chen Fan, since you are so confident in challenging the scholars of the Imperial College, why don't you place a bet with me?"
"This can also add a little fun."
"Or do you simply have no confidence in yourself? In that case, it's better to admit defeat! So as not to waste everyone's time."
Fan Zeng looked at Chen Fan and said coldly.
At this time everyone also looked at Chen Fan.
If Chen Fan placed a bet, it would be a waste of money.
If Chen Fan doesn't place a bet, he doesn't have confidence in himself.
No matter what Chen Fan does, he will always lose in everyone's eyes.
"Since Mr. Fan is so interested, let me place my bet!"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
When they heard that Chen Fan was about to place a bet, everyone immediately became interested.
"Chen Fan, are you a student who went to the Imperial College to win?"
At this time, a minister said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed.
"I bet and I win. Three hundred thousand taels. I wonder if Mr. Fan dares to take it?"
Just when everyone was laughing, Chen Fan suddenly spoke.
When they heard this, everyone present immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Chen Fan as if he were a monster.
"Chen Fan, are you crazy?"
"Are you suffering from brain disease again?"
…
At this time, Zhong Wuwei and others immediately said anxiously.
"Master Fan, three hundred thousand taels is not a small amount! Don't talk nonsense!"
Guo Hua also said heartbrokenly at this time.
It was as if Chen Fan was using his money.
"Chen Fan, how much do you want to bet?"
Fan Zeng couldn't help but ask.
"Three hundred thousand taels."
"You win?"
"Of course, I wonder if you dare to take it?"
The two asked and answered questions.
