Chapter 31 Chaosheng, we support you! (Part 1)
After eating two slices of watermelon, he said silently: "Dang Zun..."
"You say 'Hisser Mr. Li'." County Magistrate Li smiled kindly and said, "Call me from now on." Only students who have entered the school can call the county magistrate "Mr.". Now he allows a silent child to call this, which is really a very proud way.
Silent showed gratitude and smiled and said, "Sir, please call me, I wonder what instructions do you have?"
"Oh, it's about the eldest son of Yao." County Magistrate Li nodded and said, "I'm writing about Shanyin County and asking them to help rescue him. But because the tiger head will be powerful and mixed, Shanyin County is also very scared. The magistrate Lu just agreed to mediate from it and is not willing to tear his face easily."
He nodded silently and said nothing. He heard the County Magistrate Li continue, "Later, the message came over there, saying that we must let the person go first before they will let him go." He frowned and said, "Hey, if it were the original, I would just let him go secretly at night, but now Kuaiji County is in full swing, and the people are clamoring to make Shanyin County look good. If the official rashly releases him, it is tantamount to be weak and the people will not agree."
Silence continued to nod, but rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "The people will not agree." Obviously, Mr. Li regarded himself as a political novice and deceived himself in the mist. In fact, in the name of rescuing the righteous men in the county, even if Wang Erhu was released openly, no one could say anything.
The only explanation for the reason why County Magistrate Li said this is that he himself is unwilling to let others go.
Silence had no interest in exploring the reasons, nor would he refute him. His arms could not resist his thighs. This was a truth that never went out of date. He could only be patient, keep a smile, and wait for this old bastard to express his true meaning.
"The two sides are in a stalemate," said Li County Magistrate, "The Shanyin County Magistrate proposed to follow the old rules."
"Old rules?" Chen Si asked softly: "Students don't know."
"There are dependent on each other's lips and teeth, and there will inevitably be bumps and bumps between them. Sometimes it involves two county governments, which is difficult to make a judgment and mediation is invalid." County Magistrate Li explained: "The two counties let the two parties discuss a way and compete with each other. Those who lose must meet the requirements of winning."
"Oh..." Chen Si nodded slightly and asked softly: "What about the specific details?" He felt that this was not a solution.
"Fight the battle between literature and martial arts." County Magistrate Li took a mouthful of Turtle Poria jelly and explained to the silence: "Fight the battle between literature and wisdom but not strength, you can solve puzzles. If you have a pair or a difficult problem, as long as you don't take action, you can do anything. Fight the battle without wisdom but sign a life and death clause, and go to the city to find a place outside the city to fight, regardless of life and death." As he said, he smiled and said, "I have given you the right to choose first, and you can decide which one to choose."
‘Do you still have to choose this?’ Silently said: “I can’t beat them.” This is really a naked rape of public opinion.
"That's to choose a literary fight." Seeing the silent nod, County Magistrate Li said in a deep voice: "If you choose the method, you have to make the decision on how to compare it specifically, and you have to respond."
He nodded silently and said, "I'll go ahead."
County Magistrate Li smiled and said, "Okay, go back and wait for the notice from me at any time."
Chen Si continued to nod and said softly: "Where is the safety of the eldest son?"
"Don't worry." County Magistrate Li waved his hand and said, "I won't hurt him until the results of the competition come out. This is the rule."
The news that the Hutou Club in Shanyin County was about to compete with the young Tongsheng in Kuaiji County soon spread throughout Shaoxing.
For a time, on the street, in ferries, in teahouses, and in taverns, people were discussing this matter, regardless of gender, age and age... Compared to how the emperor practiced Taoism and how luxurious life Yan Ge Lao lived, those great topics, although this matter is small, it is better than reaching and is even more interesting...
Needless to say, the Hutouhui is the largest hall in Shanyin County. The entire wharf in Xi Shaoxing and the gambling hall are their sphere of influence. It is said that there are 2000 brothers in the association, and the Hutouhui Wang is even a figure who cries in Shaoxing City.
But people are more concerned about the little boy who was in a car with a mantis arm. They asked one after another, who was sacred and what was outstanding about that boy. Can he really create miracles? With the example of Shanyin Qingvia, they dare not be too despised by the young man.
But this kind of support is just a talk. People all know that a person like Xu Wenqing can only be released in five hundred years, so how can he get a Shaoxing city stall again?
This psychology is clearly reflected in the market opening of the casino... The largest Xingfa Casino in Shanyin paid a compensation of one to Hutouhui, while the one to Tongsheng gave a compensation of five to high. The Dafa Casino in Kuaiji also paid a compensation of one to Hutouhui, but gave a compensation of four to Xiaotongsheng, which was considered a little care for the face of his fellow villagers.
You should know that according to the rules of the gambling house at this time, the losses already include the principal of the bet, so when calculating the profit, you have to subtract the amount of the principal. That is to say, if you lose one, the gambler will not be able to make any profit.
This means not to accept betting against Tiger Head for the time being. In the future, the odds may be raised and bets will be accepted, but the greater possibility is that the bets against Tiger Head will not be accepted.
The casino is a gold-selling cave, not a charity hall, and they will not do business that must be compensated without a doubt... They are well-informed and naturally have to go through some investigation before giving the odds. Finally, they found that this competition was a question for Hutou, and three questions were asked in a row. As long as there was one unsolvable solution, it would be considered a failure.
Considering the powerful strength of Tiger Head, it is definitely not difficult to design three tricky and weird problems. No matter how you look at the little boy, there is no hope of winning. That is why such a strange market quarrel appears.
The one-sided odds blocked the gamblers' bets, but did not affect people's enthusiasm. Soon they turned to discuss whether the little boy could solve the first question. Due to the lack of any basis, the casino cannot open a market quotation for the time being, but they have promised that once the puzzle is found, they will definitely give reasonable odds for reference for the bets of the elders and villagers.
Shen Family Courtyard.
People outside looked forward to the arrival of the competition and speculated about Xiao Tongsheng's identity. Shen Mo in the attic in the courtyard was at peace and had become a hot topic. He sat on a small bench beside the bed, fanning his father with one hand and holding the book "Water Margin" with the other hand and enjoying it.
Shen He, who was lying on the bed, was very nervous and could not find a comfortable position even if he tossed and turned. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Chaosheng, are you sure?"
"I don't know what to compare," Shen Mo was just seeing the passage of "Ximen Qing seducing Pan Jinlian" and replied casually: "I don't know if I'm sure." But he was thinking in his heart: "I don't know if "Jin Ping Mei" was released? I asked Shen Jing yesterday that the boy had no reaction at all, probably not yet published." He wondered if he had written it first, spending money on it... He was really eager to get rid of his current poverty.
But then he thought about Shi Nai'an, Pu Songling, Cao Xueqin and others, all of whom were poor and even starved to death. Then he remembered that people had no copyright awareness at this time. A new book came out and pirated copies were flying in the sky within a few days.
