And even this tremor made Zhao Ji make up his mind in an instant.
"Although the bet made by your godson is quite extreme, there is a saying after all that you are willing to accept defeat."
"As long as Wu Aiqing doesn't object, I won't have any problem here."
Tong Guan smiled calmly:
"Thank you so much. I will go to Master Wu to discuss this."
After Tong Guan said these words, he and Tong Chenglin slowly came to Wu Zhi.
Later, he also told Wu Zhi what he had just said to Zhao Ji.
And when Wu Zhi knew the other party's intention, he couldn't help but startled him.
At the same time, he kept sighing in his heart, not to mention that the Tong family dog was still young, only less than twenty years old, but his thoughts were really vicious.
Although Tong Guan made it clear to Wu Zhi both inside and outside his words, this was just a small competition.
But Wu Zhi knew that it would be better if he did not lose in this bet. Once he lost, what awaited him would definitely not be a good result.
This is true regardless of whether Wu Zhi is a real eunuch or a fake eunuch at this time!
If Wu Zhi is really a true eunuch as Tong Guan and his son believe, then when he loses and runs naked in front of everyone, it may be the time when he dies.
And now Wu Zhi is just a fake eunuch!
If his secret is exposed to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty...
Then it is absolutely impossible for him to leave the palace alive.
What's more, when Tong Guan proposed the contest with Wu Zhi, he also told him the 88,000 taels of compensation from the bet.
The meaning is that even if Wu Zhi wants to refuse categorically at this time, Zhao Ji will lobby him for 88,000 taels of silver.
After all, Wu Zhi knew very well how greedy Zhao Ji was for money.
What Tong Guan and his son did was nothing more than forcing Wu Zhi to agree to their competition requirements.
And then further achieve the goal of revenge against Wu Zhi in the minds of father and son.
What's more, if he categorically refuses in full public view, he will definitely end up with a reputation of being timid and fearful.
There will also be many disadvantages to his future actions.
What's more, Wu Zhi didn't think he would lose.
It was precisely based on the above considerations that Wu Zhi finally agreed to the father and son's request for a competition.
However, for the sake of caution, he and Tong Chenglin discussed the next competition between the two in more detail and in-depth.
The final result of the discussion between these two people was:
In the subsequent competition process, both of them will take turns to set questions to test each other.
If Wu Zhi asks a question and Tong Chenglin answers it, then Tong Chenglin will ask Wu Zhi the question.
If Wu Zhi asks a question and Tong Chenglin fails to answer it, Wu Zhi will continue to ask questions.
During each question, if the other party fails to answer the question, the other party will take off a piece of clothing and throw it on the stage.
Until one party takes off all the clothes on his body.
When the person is naked, let him run naked around the stage ten times.
At this point, this competition is officially over.
But before this competition officially started, the first extremely realistic problem appeared.
That is, who will be the first person to ask questions.
Regarding this question, both Tong Chenglin and Wu Zhi wanted to take the initial right to raise the question into their own hands.
Because it is obvious that under the rules of this game, whoever gives the other party a question first will take the initiative.
Just imagine, what if the person who asks the question first cannot answer the question from the first question to the last question?
In this way, the person who asks the question does not even need to take off a piece of clothing, and it is easy to take off all the clothes to answer the question.
The next thing the answerer has to face is to run around the stage naked for ten times.
Since the right to give priority to ask questions is so important, neither Tong Chenglin nor Wu Zhi wants to give up the right to give priority to ask questions, and both want to firmly hold this advantage in their own hands.
Zhao Ji, who was standing aside, watched as Tong Chenglin and Wu Zhi argued for a long time over the right to give the first question, but they did not come to a conclusion.
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He was not only worried that the competition would not go ahead, but he was also worried that the 88,000 taels of compensation would not be paid.
If this competition couldn't go on, where would he go to watch the fun?
If this competition doesn't go ahead, who does he care about asking for the 88,000 taels of compensation?
In this way, isn't it like Zhao Ji has missed an opportunity to make a large sum of money?
So at this time, Zhao Ji's cleverness came into play.
But when I saw him, I first asked for a few copper coins from my little follower, Eunuch Sheng.
Then he slowly walked up to Tong Chenglin and Wu Zhi, who were still arguing.
"Okay, okay, you two don't argue anymore."
"Let's do this. There are several big coins here. I will pick one from them later and ask you two to ask for one each."
"If after I throw it out, which side ends up in the palm of my hand, then the person who chooses this side will give priority to the question."
"I wonder if you two are satisfied with my proposal?"
After the two of them pondered for a while, they bowed slightly to Zhao Ji:
"Weak ministers (common people) must obey the official will and dare not violate it."
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction:
"Okay, now, let's choose one of you two. Which side do you want?"
It is said that during this period, the money that was circulating in the market was the kind of round square hole money.
There are two sides in total, one side is written: Zhenghe Tongbao.
The other side is wordless.
If we want to simply describe the two sides, they are the side with words and the side without words.
In the end, Tong Chenglin chose the side with characters first.
Therefore, Wu Zhi could only ask for the wordless side.
And when Zhao Ji threw the copper coin in his hand high into the air and then fell into his hand, it happened to be that the side with the words was facing up.
At this point, Tong Chenglin had the priority to submit questions.
When such a result appeared, Tong Chenglin was so excited that he almost jumped up.
The vulgar and provocative expression on his face made Wu Zhi want to slap her away.
But at this time, after all, Zhao Ji was still here, so it was really inconvenient for him to do that.
So at this moment, he could only turn his head to one side and not look at Tong Chenglin's hateful face.
The place where the two of them competed next was the same as before, in the middle of the stage.
Originally, the civil and military officials in the audience, after witnessing the two farces just now, thought that it would not be long before the show was over.
