When the two parties were arguing, Wu De suggested that the outcome of the gambling on stones be the final word. That is, let the brothers Deng Xun and Deng Cong have a bet. After all, Yinyu Pavilion is in the business of gambling on stones, and the person in charge must naturally have superb gambling on stones skills, otherwise how can he convince the public?
The rule of gambling on jade is two wins out of three. Two people bet three times, and the winner is determined by the value of the jade that is solved.
Forced by the situation, Deng Xun agreed.
The reason why Wu De proposed this method was naturally not for Deng Xun's sake, but to set a trap for him.
The scope of the stone gambling by the two brothers was limited to the rough stones in Yinyu Pavilion, and the two rough stones that Wu De had previously bought from the Zheng family had not been solved. This time, Deng Cong was given the chance to choose!
The two pieces of rough material performed extremely well, with the emerald color almost visible through the stone skin, so Wu De concluded that jadeite could be mined from them.
After seeing this, Deng Cong was very confident that he could defeat Deng Xun with these two pieces of raw materials.
Unexpectedly, the result was beyond their expectations, because the two pieces of raw materials that performed very well turned out to be green after being unraveled!
Except for the thin layer of jade close to the stone surface, there is no trace of jade inside!
Naturally, Deng Cong lost this bet and missed out on Yinyu Pavilion.
Deng Cong failed, but he didn't think that he was inferior to others in skills. He just thought it was Wu De's fault because he bought two pieces of waste!
Now, after hearing what Zheng Feibai said, Deng Cong knew that the two pieces of raw materials that caused him to lose the inheritance rights were bought from the Zheng family, and he still acted so gloatingly. He hated Zheng Feibai instantly.
Xue Huan walked into the shed. The piece of raw material she liked was pressed underneath, and she needed to move the raw material on top away first.
"Brother Zhao, which piece do you want? Let me help you move it." Zheng Feibai came over and said.
"No need, I'm plenty strong." As she spoke, Xue Huan had already moved a piece of raw material as big as a bucket with one hand.
Zheng Feibai couldn't help but touch his nose when he saw this. It seemed that Brother Zhao really didn't need his help, so he went to choose his own wool.
Xue Huan was interested in a piece of rough material the size of a washbasin. The texture of the jade inside was average and not very transparent, but the color was very rare, a soft and tender pink, which immediately touched her girlish heart.
And it is not small in size, as big as a football.
Anyway, in the first competition, as long as you pick the rough material containing jade, you can advance. There is no requirement for the quality of the jade.
She naturally has to choose according to her own wishes.
After the jade inside is taken out, I can ask a jade carving master to make a complete set of jewelry for Jun'er. Jun'er will definitely like it.
The rest can be used to create some individual pieces for her to wear herself.
Xue Huan had already started thinking about the design of the jewelry in her mind when she suddenly heard a quarrel nearby.
"I was the one who chose this piece of raw material first. Deng Cong, please don't go too far!"
"Oh, you chose it first? Why didn't you say that all the raw materials on the field are yours?" Deng Cong stepped on a piece of raw material, his tone arrogant and asking for a beating.
"You!" Zheng Feibai glared at him angrily.
Xue Huan heard the noise and came over. "What's wrong?"
Zheng Feibai told her the situation. It turned out that he had just selected a piece of rough material, but just as he was about to pick it up, Deng Cong appeared, stepped on the rough material, and said that he had chosen it and the rough material was his.
Although Zheng Feibai was angry, he thought that most of the competition time had passed and he didn't want to argue with him. Since he liked that piece of raw material, he might as well give it to him. After all, he just picked it at random.
Who knew that Deng Cong not only snatched the piece once, but also came back to deliberately intercept it after Zheng Feibai chose a new piece. Now Zheng Feibai had nothing to understand, he knew that Deng Cong was deliberately going against him.
Xue Huan glanced at Deng Cong. The man looked like he had kidney deficiency, which was obviously due to excessive indulgence. His smug look made him deserve a beating.
He glanced at the piece of rough material under Deng Cong's feet again, and there was indeed jade inside.
"Coward, so what if I stole your raw materials? If you have the guts, take them back." Deng Cong smiled viciously and said to Zheng Feibai deliberately.
"Not only do I want to snatch your raw materials, I also want to snatch your wife away. I heard that your wife is very delicate and pretty. I wonder how she feels when she sleeps with me? Haha, I'll make her my eighteenth concubine then..."
Zheng Feibai couldn't bear it any longer and punched Deng Cong.
At this time, a yamen official came over.
Deng Cong's eyes flashed with triumph. Instead of dodging, he leaned forward and pointed at his own face and said in a mean way, "Hit me, hit me here."
As long as he dares to take action here, he will definitely be disqualified from the competition!
Zheng Feibai paused in his punch.
Xue Huan patted his shoulder and said, "Go ahead and fight. Don't worry about it."
Hearing this, Zheng Feibai still had nothing to worry about. Brother Zhao would not harm him.
Deng Cong had a good idea. No matter whether Zheng Feibai was really hitting him or pretending to hit him, he would not really be hit by the punch. Instead, he would dodge and pretend to be hit by Zheng Feibai, and accuse him of his evil deeds to the yamen officials who were maintaining order!
His sister is the concubine of the county magistrate's son, and these yamen runners usually take a lot of benefits from him. He believes that as long as he gives a hint, the yamen runners will do as he wishes and drive Zheng Feibai out!
Unfortunately, things did not go according to his script.
Deng Cong had failed at the first step. He was a scumbag who had indulged himself too much. How could he possibly dodge Zheng Feibai's angry punch? He had truly overestimated his own strength.
Deng Cong was stunned when he was knocked to the ground by Zheng Feibai's punch, but before he could recover, he was immediately greeted with a violent beating, with every punch hitting his flesh.
"stop……"
Deng Cong was scared and began to beg for mercy, but unfortunately the anger that Zheng Feibai had provoked was not so easy to extinguish.
What Deng Cong said just now really touched his sore spot.
Deng Cong's eyes were swollen from being beaten. He barely opened them to look towards the yamen official, but he saw that the yamen official was just standing there, as if he saw nothing.
What's going on? He's been beaten like this, and the guards don't even care!
How could he know that Xue Huan had cast an illusion around Zheng Feibai when she was supporting him to punch. In the eyes of the yamen servants, Deng Cong was still standing there!
It can only be said that Deng Cong knows nothing about power. In the face of true strength, his weird little cleverness is so fragile that it can be easily defeated.
After beating the man, Zheng Feibai looked at Deng Cong's miserable appearance and couldn't help feeling a little scared. He subconsciously glanced towards the yamen official.
However, the yamen official did not react at all, as if he did not see him beating Deng Cong at all.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on?"
Xue Huan said casually, "I just used a little trick. Don't worry, the guards won't know you hit anyone. Time is almost up, go untie the wool you chose."
"Oh, okay." Zheng Feibai had no idea what was going on, but he would just do whatever Brother Zhao said.
Xue Huan also took the raw material to the stone machine.
