Nanny Xu glanced around the cell and saw that no one else was around. She quickly crawled over to Nanny Gui's iron cell and asked, "Nanny Gui, what's going on? Who locked you up here? Since you're not dead, why didn't you try to get the news back?"
Nanny Xu was brought here directly by the guards.
So the specific situation is still unknown.
What he didn't know was that ten of his own people who had just been captured were locked up in the prison.
Aunt Gui glanced at her calmly, her dry lips saying, "Look around first. How do you think I can pass on the message in this impenetrable place?"
Only then did Aunt Xu realize that this secret cell was sealed with iron sheets, and even the floor was made of extremely thick stone slabs...
This place.
I guess even a mouse can't dig a hole.
Aunt Xu's expression changed slightly.
Just as she was about to ask again, she heard Aunt Gui suddenly ask, "After hearing that I'm dead, are you sad, Madam?"
Aunt Xu was stunned.
He glanced at Nanny Gui and saw her miserable appearance, so he told her about how Wei had taken out the mistress's cards and keys to exchange her back.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Gui couldn't help but smile.
"He's so stupid! No matter how I teach him, he won't be taught hard enough. What will he do in the future without me around?" Aunt Gui muttered to herself, tears falling down her face unknowingly.
Aunt Xu looked at her, frowned and wanted to say something.
But at this time.
Suddenly, a scream was heard in the dark cell——
…
"Bet placed, bet placed..."
"Oh! Don't hesitate."
"The odds on the third young master of the Yang family have already increased twelvefold. If you want to get rich overnight, just bet on the third young master. If he passes the exam, you can take home twelve times the money. This is a sure-win business..."
"Hurry up and bet more."
"Manager Liu, you're absolutely wrong. What if this doesn't work? You'll have to pay for it!"
"Everyone knows that Young Master Yang San's title of Juren was earned through luck. How could he possibly pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi (a top-ranking scholar)? Stop kidding... I'm betting on him not to win..."
"That's right, even if we are acquaintances, you shouldn't be so deceiving!"
"I also bet against him..."
"I bet too..."
In front of a gambling house.
People flocked to the tables where they had no chance of winning to place their bets.
Manager Liu looked at the people who refused to listen and shook his head: "I really want to give the money to you, but you don't want it!"
As Manager Liu spoke, he silently took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the table in the middle.
Registered person: ...?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and register! I'm betting on my third young master." Manager Liu shouted at the people from the bank.
When the registrar heard this, he quickly grabbed the stack of banknotes and counted them.
Then, smiling, he handed the registered receipt to Manager Liu with both hands and said, "Manager Liu, you must keep this carefully. If the Third Young Master of the Yang Family can really pass the exam, you can come and collect the money with this receipt."
"Can you speak? My third young master will definitely pass the exam." Manager Liu gave the registrar a sharp look.
The registrant rolled his eyes.
The old man just ran to his table and started shouting at him to attract customers. He was confused at first.
After a moment's pause, he immediately understood. This old man must have been sent by the Third Young Master of the Yang Family. He was probably worried that his gambling would be too embarrassing, so he sent a housekeeper to help out!
Too.
Otherwise, who would casually take out five hundred taels and give it away for free? !
Oh!
Put on a brave face and pretend to be rich!
Of course, the registrant thought so in his heart, but on the surface he smiled: "Yes, yes, I was wrong. Third Young Master Yang will definitely win. You just wait to collect the money."
Only then did Manager Liu withdraw his glare with satisfaction.
Just as I was about to put the bill close to my body, I saw a few familiar figures squeeze through the crowd...
"Manager Qin, why are you here?"
Steward Liu looked at Steward Qin and the several stewards behind him in confusion.
However, Manager Qin and the others all looked at the bill in his hand, and then they quickly took out the silver bills or silver bags in their arms.
They were placed in front of the registrants one by one.
"We also bet on the third young master of the Yang family to win."
The registrant took a look.
have to!
Here comes the childcare again!!!
After receiving the receipts, Manager Qin and the others looked at Manager Liu and said, "Why didn't you tell us and just came here on your own? If your daughter hadn't let it slip in front of my daughter, we probably wouldn't have known you were here to make money!"
"That's right, you didn't even take us with you on this wonderful occasion!"
"How disloyal..."
Manager Liu was speechless: "Didn't you all say you had no money and gave it all to your wives?"
"Then you have to tell us!"
"That's right. Fortunately, we arrived quickly. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to place bets once the Spring Examination starts tomorrow."
Registrant: ...pretend, keep pretending!
Everyone knows that this bet will last until the Spring Examination results are announced...
The casino opens a round every three years.
Every time at this time, the gambling house would find some famous scholars in advance to be bet against by the people.
Betting on probability.
Depending on the fame, you can bet on how many top spots you can get, or even your ranking. The closer you are to the ranking, the higher the odds.
If you are not famous, you can just bet on the chance of winning or not.
Generally, this type is the favorite of ordinary people because it is easy to produce dark horses and easy to win.
But this year, the major casinos have played a special game.
I just started a game alone.
The odds of betting on whether Yang Huaijin could pass the imperial examination and become a top-ranked Jinshi had already soared to 1 to 12. If the bet failed, the payout was 100%. If the bet succeeded, the payout was 120%.
But even so.
There were only a few people who could be captured by him.
All morning, only Manager Liu and his men came to open orders...
Of course.
The registrants felt that these few orders were all shills...
until.
An old man walked up to the registration table and handed over a bag of money: "Little brother, help me bet on Yang Huaijin."
When the registrant saw the old man, he was stunned.
Then he reacted, quickly opened the purse and took a look, then quickly wrote down the receipt and handed it over; "...Old man, please keep it."
Mr. Lu put the bill away.
At this moment, another old man came out from behind him and also handed over a silver bag: "Little brother, I also bet on Yang Huaijin to win."
Registrant: ...?
He looked at Master Liu and felt a little numb all over.
What's going on?
Were these two old men also invited here as... shills?
"What's wrong? Can't I bet?"
asked Taifu Liu.
The registrant quickly came to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes..."
He quickly wrote down the bill and handed it over respectfully with both hands: "...Please keep it."
