Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) ordered the cloth buckets to be evenly smeared with tung oil, flour and lime to make hundreds or thousands of feet long cloth buckets, and evenly baked them over low fire.
Can water be sucked up high slopes using such a so-called super long "bulong"?
No one would believe it even if I beat him to death!
Mingyan has already started setting up a gambling board in his small courtyard.
If you bet on the second master Bao Bao, you will pay two to one; if you bet on Jiang Jintian, the dog servant, you will pay one hundred.
What?
You dare to bet that our second master will lose? The bet is fifty thousand taels of silver. Are you crazy?
Don’t you want to see the sun tomorrow?
Mingyan directly gave Sahong two hammers, you short-sighted thing, let's see how I deal with you!
What?
You said this was what Master Bao ordered you to do?
This is even more deserving of a beating. Not only did he not support the second master, he also lied. His heart is to be punished!
Is this really what Second Master Bao ordered?! It seems that Second Master is also crazy!
"A hundred times the profit, whoever doesn't buy it is a fool!"
Instigated by the anti-fame campaign, at least 40% of the prefect's subordinates switched to buying rival Jiang Jin Tianying.
At the same time, the gambling tables of various teahouses in Ningguta City have also changed!
Bet one tael and win a hundred taels. Even Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s own disciples don't trust their master.
It seems that this time Mr. Xiao Jia, who has always had great powers and divine blessings, is really going to lose.
At least 40% of the people in the city buy Jiangjin Tianying.
At least 1.5 million taels of silver were bet, which meant that if Jiang Jintian won, the teahouse owners in Ning Guta would have to pay more than 10 million taels of silver.
Many people are looking forward to Mr. Xiao Jia doing well, losing to Jiang Jintian, and making a lot of money!
Many people in the city even have their house title deeds pledged.
At the same time, on the top floor of the "Eight Big Bowls" teahouse in the east of Ninggu Tower City.
Liu Shunshun, the owner of "Eight Big Bowls", is discussing with several other teahouse owners what to do now.
If Mr. Xiao Jia really loses, he will lose more than 10 million taels of silver, even if all the bosses are stewed, they will not be able to compensate!
"So, Master Xiao Jia must win tomorrow, otherwise the rest of us will have to run away."
Just as they were talking, the waiter from the "Eight Big Bowls" teahouse ran in very excitedly, shouting as he ran: "Weird thing, big weird thing! Miss Xue from the Xue Mansion asked the housekeeper to send 10 million taels of silver notes.
I say I support Mr. Jia. This is the biggest bet I have ever taken!"
Liu Shunshun pondered for a moment, and suddenly his fat body trembled, "It's broken. Due to the rush of time, there was no time to adjust the bet... If Mr. Xiao Jia wins, we have to pay 20 million taels of silver, but we only received one hundred
Five hundred thousand taels, the shortfall is 18,500,000 taels; if Mr. Xiao Jia loses, we have to lose 10,000,000 taels... We can't afford to lose it no matter what."
When Liu Shunshun said it at the end, it was as if he was wailing. Mr. Xiao Jia's victory or defeat was all because of the money lost in the teahouse and gambling house.
What a calculation!
Who designed such a "certain death" situation for us teahouses!
Is it a coincidence, or is it man-made?
Listening to what Liu Shunshun said, everyone here is the most astute boss, and they figured out everything at once.
Miss Xue's move is so powerful, it's like a talisman for the Lord of Hell.
"Everyone, there are only two ways before us. One is to let Mr. Xiao Jia lose, so that we owe the people money. It is still the old way, saying that the gambling tickets they hold are fake, and we
I just defaulted on my debt... Now the words of the eldest daughter of the Xue family are more effective than the words of the governor. We can't afford to offend him, but what can common people fight with us?"
Liu Shunshun continued: "The other method is very simple. We run away, take all the gold and silver with us, and run far away... I personally agree with running away... I always feel that something is not right, things are too strange...
…”
Liu Shunshun and the others tidied up hastily, then knelt down and kowtowed several times towards the small black pagoda of Ninggu Pagoda.
They have a career here, but they are unwilling to give up now.
However, there is no way. The most important thing is that people live and have money.
As long as you have money, you can't go anywhere without development.
There is an underground passage leading outside the city in the basement of "Eight Bowls".
The exit of the underground passage outside the city is in a deserted cemetery.
Coming out of the exit, looking at the bright white sky in the east, it was going to be dawn soon. Liu Shunshun let out a long sigh and murmured to himself: "Ninggu Tacheng is such a good place, I really can't bear to leave it...
…I really don’t want to leave…”
At this time, the lights suddenly turned on, and Liu Shunshun felt a little confused.
In the light, he saw the one-armed general under the prefect standing there like a murderous god.
"Boss Liu Shunshun Liu, where are you going so early? This is the cemetery, and it's also very close to the Palace of Hell!"
"General, if you don't tell secrets, this gambling game is a fatal game for the gambling house in Ningguta City. I just want to know who designed it so cleverly. Is it the Xue family?"
"This is our second treasured master."
"Why? Isn't our contribution enough? As soon as Mr. Xiao Jia entered the city, we sent him five hundred thousand taels of silver notes... Although Mr. Xiao Jia said that the gift would be accepted and nothing would be done, it would not be a big deal.
Do it to us."
"You several big gambling houses have resorted to fraud and plunder, which has made the people miserable and full of complaints. Don't you know how many people in Ningguta have lost their families? Of course you know, but your conscience is blocked by money, and your conscience is eaten by dogs.
.Our master just wants to take this opportunity to eradicate these big cancers like you!"
Liu Shunshun was ashen-faced because he knew that his so-called "divine power" thugs were good at bullying the common people, but they were nothing in front of these regular troops.
Liu Shunshun was also a bachelor, "I plead guilty and let my men go."
"I'm sorry, Boss Liu. Our Mr. Jia said that after the evil task is over, everyone in the gambling house must stay. Especially the thugs, because your three sons are in there..."
This time, Liu Shunshun was completely ashen-faced!
At this time, people from three floors inside and three floors outside had already surrounded the prefect's Yamen.
They all looked forward to the prefect's "Bron" launching into the water as soon as possible.
The farmers hope that "Bulong" can draw the river water ashore and turn the dry land into irrigated land, so that they will have hope for the future.
Everyone who participates in gambling has their own mood.
And Jiang Jintian also rushed over from his residence early. He wanted to see how Mr. Xiao Jia performed tricks.
At three o'clock in the morning, the prefect's Yamen finally opened, and a long "cloth dragon" appeared in front of everyone. The dragon's head was made of a square iron barrel mouth, as if it wanted to eat people.
Today is destined to be an unusual day, and many people will cry.
