How he could have solved the game was incredible.
Ning Yunzhao was obviously not the only one who had doubts. The people who gathered around him were all noisily questioning him.
"How can it be impossible for me?" Tian San shouted. Although he was a well-known idler in Yangcheng and had seen all kinds of ugly faces, he was still very nervous at this moment.
Probably because of the money in his arms.
So much money, an amount that many people will never see in their lifetime, is now in his arms.
"How did you untie it?"
"Can you play chess?"
"How did you get to this point?"
Words rained down from all around.
"I can't play chess." Tian San shouted, stiffening his neck, "But I solved it, can't I?"
He was so frank that the onlookers were stunned and the noise died down.
"How are you going to solve it if you don't know how to play chess? So many people can't solve it." Someone asked with a frown.
Seeing that these words really made the crowd stop making noise, Tian San's eyes showed joy and his back straightened slightly.
He could only straighten his back slightly, because he couldn't really straighten his back with so much money in his arms.
"If others can't solve it, why can't I? I just moved a piece casually, and who knew it would be solved? I don't know how it happened." He snorted.
What? You guessed it by chance?
This made the people around noisy again.
That's impossible.
"How is it impossible? How is it impossible? Anyway, the lights are on, why do you blame me?" Tian San also shouted, "Why don't you ask about the chessboard!"
The onlookers were speechless.
Tian San felt even more justified and turned to look at the lantern man.
"Hey, can I take the money and leave? Do you still keep your word? Are you saying that only people who can play chess will be allowed? Does it mean that it doesn't count if someone can't play chess and can't explain the tricks?" he shouted.
The lantern watcher looked blank.
"You have already received the money, haven't you?" he said. "If it doesn't count, why would I let you get the money?"
The onlookers couldn't help but sigh.
"So he really wins, right? He doesn't know how to play chess."
The lantern-watcher raised his eyebrows and snorted.
"My superiors told me that as long as I light the lamp, I will win and I will be paid. As for whether I can play chess or not, there is no requirement for that." He said, waving the stick in his hand to drive away the crowd. "My mission is completed. I am leaving. Don't block my way."
The crowd hurriedly dodged, and the lantern watcher really walked away.
"Get out of the way." Tian San shouted, and took the opportunity to run away, leaving behind a group of stunned onlookers.
"What the hell is this?"
The audience talked a lot.
"I think this is a scam."
"Yes. They did it themselves."
"Yes, I used money to lure everyone into trouble, and then when I was done making money, I used a mechanism to turn on the lights myself."
"This trick is common in casinos."
"Not to mention the casino, the same thing happens when people guess beans at temple fairs."
The onlookers suddenly became angry as they were discussing the incident. Many of them kicked the lanterns in anger and walked away thinking that they had been unlucky.
These were people who did not understand chess or whose chess skills were average. There were also some people who stood by and watched in silence with frowns on their faces, as if they were thinking about something.
"Is it really a collusion?" asked a young man.
"But this chess game is really amazing." said another frowning one.
"But the person who set up this chess game certainly knows how to solve it, so he arranged Tian San to do this." Ning Yunzhao said.
In this way, Tian San will naturally be able to solve the problem.
Indeed, the companions nodded.
It seems that this is the only explanation.
"But it is also possible that what Tian San said is true." Ning Yunzhao said again.
What is true?
"This was not arranged by the chess players. It was Tian San's own guess." Ning Yunzhao said.
How is this possible? The companions shook their heads again.
"It's not impossible. Just like a child defeating a big man, the chess game is not as flexible as a human being. It only has one correct move. And Tian San just happened to make the right move." Ning Yunzhao said.
This is possible, but it is too absurd and ridiculous.
"The absurd and ridiculous things recorded in history books are impossible, but many of them happened." Ning Yunzhao laughed, "If you dare to play, you dare to lose. To put it bluntly, this is gambling."
That was true. His companions all laughed. They did not care about the ten taels of silver that they threw away, nor did they feel indignant about not getting the prize of five thousand taels of silver.
This is just a game.
"But this chess game is quite interesting. Let's go back and study it." Everyone said with a smile and walked forward.
Ning Yunzhao followed them and couldn't help but look behind him.
The girl is probably still crying. If I tell her that an idle guy guessed the chess game correctly, she will probably feel less angry, aggrieved and sad.
I don't know where to find this girl, whom I just met by chance.
But the girl is so interested in this chess game that she will definitely ask about it. She will definitely know these things soon.
Ning Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the lantern in his hand.
This Lantern Festival is quite interesting.
This Lantern Festival is quite interesting, and many people thought so tonight.
People saw the famous paralyzed young master, and the Fang family let their young master admire the lanterns. Some people were delighted by the various lanterns. Some were happy because of the entertainment, and some were excited because of the unexpected wealth.
Whether it is excitement or happiness, time still flows steadily, the night slowly fades away, and a new day arrives as scheduled.
Miss Jun woke up at the usual time, but lay in bed without getting up.
What happened last night still had an impact on her.
Although she was willing to accept defeat, Miss Jun did not resent or blame the person who defeated her, but she still felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it.
This is what the old saying means to shoot oneself in the foot. It is really stupid.
After all, she is a girl and she is still very young. Even though she has an extra layer of skin, she is still a little thin-skinned.
Miss Jun lingered in bed for a moment before getting up.
"I'm a little tired today, so I'm not going to do any boxing or walking," she said to Liu'er.
Liu'er didn't notice the young lady's discomfort and nodded while yawning.
You shouldn't have gone in the first place. The Lantern Festival is about partying all night long and staying in bed the next day. It's good enough for you to get up so early. Why do you need to go exercise?
"Did anyone at home say anything to me?" Miss Jun asked casually while eating.
"What did you say?" Liu Er immediately pricked up her ears. "Did anyone say anything about the young lady?"
Seeing that she looked like she was about to have a fight, Miss Jun suppressed the thought of asking her to go and see if anyone at home was talking about someone winning the 5,000 tael prize last night.
Now that you have done it, you cannot be afraid of being talked about, otherwise it will only make things worse.
What she had to do was too difficult, and the time she had to work on it was too tight, so she couldn't be so sad. When Miss Jun had gathered herself together, had her meal, and was about to go to the garden to complete her unfinished exercise, the maid came back to say that the senior manager wanted to see her.
The matter of the lanterns was given to him, and now that the Lantern Festival was over, it was natural for the senior manager to come and see him, especially since a prize of five thousand taels of silver was involved.
Miss Jun nodded and came to the living room.
The senior manager did not come alone. He was followed by a man, who was the light watcher last night.
As the two sides talked, Miss Jun realized that it was actually a beggar who solved the chess game last night, and this idle man guessed it right. Although she was surprised, she did not feel depressed because of it. She was willing to accept the defeat. No matter whether he won her victory by talent or luck, he won it anyway.
"So the incident last night didn't spread." The senior manager said, "The prize was five thousand taels for a lantern lighting game, but in the end a beggar won. Everyone thought it was a scam that we had arranged together."
Just like the bean-guessing ring game at the Lantern Festival, after angrily cursing it as a liar a few times, I just threw it away and never mentioned it again.
"That's fine, too." Miss Jun said with a smile.
"But this is certainly not a scam planned by us," Director Gao continued, "but I guess this is a conspiracy between that idle guy and others."
After hearing this, Miss Jun immediately understood and frowned.
"Maybe he didn't guess it, but someone told him to solve the situation." The senior manager said, glancing at the lamplighter.
"I went out for a drink after work last night." The lantern watcher understood and said.
Completing the work naturally refers to watching the lanterns.
“…I met Tian San on my way back from drinking,” he said with his head down, “He hired a car to leave the city.”
