Five days passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the betting to begin.
On this day, the entire city of Chang'an fell into a restless mood.
This day was a rare cloudy day.
Although the weather is still hot, without the scorching sun, it is much better than usual.
The auspicious time has come, and several major families have adopted the strategy of the last King of Shu, and they are even better.
This time, they set up twenty sales points.
On this day, the government officials were also afraid of showing up, and there were many more people than usual.
And at the twenty sales points, there were a large number of officials watching eagerly.
Just when the sale was about to begin, King Li Min of Shu suddenly appeared on the scene.
The person presiding over the scene was Wang Gui, the patriarch of the Wang family.
In order to get off to a good start, the head of the Wang family appeared in person.
Not only that, people from other major aristocratic families were also watching everywhere at the scene, making sure that there wouldn't be any accidents at the scene.
"Wait!"
Just when the head of the royal family, Wang Gui, was about to announce that today's gambling sales would officially begin, King Shu Li Min shouted, interrupting Wang Gui's words.
Wang Gui had a look of displeasure on his face, but in front of so many people, it was hard for Wang Gui to get angry.
Wang Gui still asked kindly, "Your Highness, do you have any advice for me?"
Li Min couldn't help but smile slightly and asked, "Master Wang, are all the lottery tickets present this time? Are there any omissions in your lottery tickets?"
For some reason, after hearing Li Min's words, Wang Gui and other members of the aristocratic family couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
But he didn't answer this question.
Wang Gui nodded and said, "His Royal Highness, King of Shu, yes, all the lottery tickets for this event are on site. I wonder if His Highness, King of Shu, has any advice?"
Li Min smiled slightly and asked again, "So, the five first-class prizes, ten second-class prizes, and one hundred third-class prizes you set this time are all included in today's lottery?"
After hearing Li Min's question, Wang Gui and other people from the aristocratic family became more uneasy.
However, they refused to answer this question.
Finally, Wang Gui replied in a deep voice, "Yes, that's exactly it. I wonder if your highness has any advice?"
Wang Gui responded to Li Min's three questions and gave him some advice.
Hearing Wang Gui's words, Li Min couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Wang, where is my king? I don't have anything else, but I am not short of money! In this way, I will cover all the lottery tickets you sell today! Come on, give it to me."
The king is opening the lottery, and I want to see how many big prizes I can win today!"
Li Min's words finally shocked Wang Gui, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I have to say that their family is really dark.
There are no first, second or third prizes in these lottery boxes.
If the King of Shu is really allowed to open the lottery here, then even a third prize will not be available, and the reputation of their family will be completely destroyed.
This move of King Shu is really too cruel!
However, what Wang Gui still couldn't figure out was how the King of Shu knew that none of their high-level prizes were included?
As everyone knows, the last time even the King of Shu held it, the first and second prizes were not included...
However, all the third prizes were really released.
When we arrived at the Aristocratic Family, all the third prizes were taken out.
Once this matter is exposed, the gambling activities will be completely over.
So, Wang Gui said sternly, "His Royal Highness, King of Shu, what do you want to do? Today, so many people came after hearing the news. Are you planning to make everyone's trip in vain?"
Li Min laughed and said, "I have money and am willing to buy them all. What is wrong with the rules? Or is it that you, the head of the Wang family, have a guilty conscience?"
Wang Guise said sternly, "Why do I feel guilty? What do I feel guilty about? King Shu, please don't make trouble unreasonably. I announce that the sale is official——"
"Wait a minute! I have already said that I have bought all the lottery tickets this time!"
After saying that, Li Min waved his hand, and countless officers and soldiers immediately appeared and surrounded all the stalls.
This scene immediately made the people of the aristocratic family headed by Wang Gui feel frightened.
They finally discovered that Li Min, the king of Shu, was just the one in the forefront, and the real man behind the scenes was actually the emperor.
Looking at these officers and soldiers, it was obvious that they had received orders long ago to control their people.
At this time, hundreds of lottery tickets for the first three prizes were hidden among the leaders of several of their major families.
Wang Gui quietly winked at the other people, signaling them to quietly approach the boxes selling lottery tickets, and then secretly threw the hidden lottery tickets in without anyone noticing.
Unexpectedly, before they could get close, several steel knives had already rushed towards them.
If they hadn't escaped quickly, they might have been lying on the ground long ago.
This made the people of these aristocratic families all frightened and afraid to do it again.
Li Min, on the other hand, ordered people to use ropes to isolate a large area on the square.
At the same time, thousands of officers and soldiers were sent to the scene to open the lottery.
Every time a lottery ticket is opened, it will be fixed on a wooden board.
As for the venue, everyone is allowed to watch it live.
However, there were soldiers watching the scene eagerly. If someone dared to throw lottery tickets into the venue, the consequences would be quite miserable if they were caught.
…
This scene made countless people who came to buy lottery tickets very angry.
What are you doing?
They came here early in the morning just to buy lottery tickets.
But after arriving, all the lottery tickets were actually bought by King Shu!
How could this King of Shu do this?
Doesn't this ruin all their hopes?
As a result, many people could not help but curse the King of Shu in a low voice.
But he was immediately stopped by the people around him.
"Shh, keep your voice down, haven't you noticed yet? It's clearly people from these aristocratic families who are causing trouble in secret. Look, up to now, not even a first, second or third prize has been drawn! I dare say, these lottery tickets
There are definitely no first or second prizes in it."
"real or fake?"
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"
Thousands of people open lottery tickets together, and the speed is very fast.
After all, the lottery ticket was taken out of the box, opened directly, and then fixed to the wall.
But less than half an hour has passed, and hundreds of thousands of lottery tickets have been opened. Not to mention the first prize, not even the second and third prizes have been opened.
At this time, the irritable people also realized that something was wrong and gradually calmed down.
