Chapter 28: Count to Thirty
When Qian Xiaoxing heard this, he agreed readily, because the game looks very simple on the surface, but in fact it has technical content. The most important thing is who counts first. However, Hu Youcai didn't say who started counting first. It seems that he doesn't understand the tricks of the game at all. For such a master, Qian Xiaoxing is sure to win him...
"Brother Xing, is there no problem? I don't want to accompany him." Ling Shan asked in a low voice.
"No problem, we won his money, I will buy you a lot of things." Qian Xiaoxing then said to Hu Youcai: "You can follow your requirements, but I want everyone to be a witness, I'm afraid you will cheat at that time."
Hu Youcai smiled and said, "I'm still afraid that you will cheat. What do you think you will do?"
Qian Xiaoxing saw a small stall selling a lot of small balls made of stones. It was originally sold to children to play with. Qian Xiaoxing asked Hu Suoyuan to buy thirty balls, then put them in a basin, and said to Hu Youcai: "Let's go to a bigger place and let passers-by judge us. Whoever gets the last ball first will win."
"Okay, just as you wish, let's go ahead!" Hu Youcai said confidently.
After a while, the two of them came to a relatively large open space, and Qian Xiaoxing shouted to passers-by: "Everyone, come and see the fun. The gamble at the end of the century is gambled fifty taels of gold at a time. It is not easy to miss it when you pass by."
When passers-by heard this, they immediately watched. Some people also knew Hu Youcai and started talking: "Gambling with Hu Youcai, no matter how much money you have, you can't bet."
"I don't know how they bet, fifty taels of gold at a time, it's so much."
"Hu Youcai has always bullied others with his power, and the Buddha blessed him to lose everything."
...
The two of them took out fifty taels of gold and put them together. Then Qian Xiaoxing explained the gambling method to passers-by, that is, each of them took small balls from the basin, and could only get one, two or three at a time. Whoever got the ball in the end would win, please give the passers-by a testimony.
Passersby were very interested when they heard this gambling method and immediately agreed.
After everyone gathered in a circle, Qian Xiaoxing asked Hu Youcai and said, "Let's start, then who will get the ball first?"
Hu Youcai hesitated for a moment, thinking that the winner of the ball was the winner in the end, so he should let the opponent take action first, so he said, "You first!"
Qian Xiaoxing was not polite and said, "Okay, I'll take it first. Everyone is optimistic. I'll take two first."
Hu Youcai took two cautiously, Qian Xiaoxing then took two more, and the two took turns to get the ball. After a while, there were only eight balls left in the basin, but it was Hu Youcai's turn to take one. Hu Youcai took one, and after Qian Xiaoxing took three, four left. Hu Youcai was stunned. No matter how many of his own, the last ball must have been taken by Qian Xiaoxing. Some passers-by around also saw it and shouted to everyone: "Hu Youcai lost!"
"How about it, give up!" Qian Xiaoxing urged.
Hu Youcai smiled contemptuously and said, "Isn't it just fifty gold? I just think it's a piece of shit. Let's come again, I will pay a hundred gold this time."
Qian Xiaoxing smiled secretly and said, "Okay, let's put the money first."
Then the original one hundred gold turned into two hundred gold and was placed in the middle of the venue. Qian Xiaoxing asked, "Who will get it first this time?"
Hu Youcai said unscrupulously: "I'll come first." Then Hu Youcai also took two balls, Qian Xiaoxing took one, Hu Baojin took one, Qian Xiaoxing took two. After a while, there were only four balls left in the plate. It was Hu Youcai's turn to take it first. Hu Youcai almost didn't believe his eyes when he saw the four balls in the basin, and he was stunned and just didn't say anything.
Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "How about it, now I have two hundred taels of gold, you only have one hundred and fifty taels left. I have more money than you."
Hu Youcai was immediately angry and yelled: "You liar, you are cheating, grab the money back." As he said that, Hu Youcai instructed five bodyguards to come up and grab the money.
Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect that Hu Youcai would dare to be slutty in public. He was really thicker than the strata. When Xiong Yitan and Hu Suoyuan saw it, they blocked it without saying a word. Although Hu Youcai's five bodyguards were tall, they were just as good as fist and kick skills. They did not lose the disadvantage when they dealt with five of them.
Seeing this, Hu Youcai went to grab the money without saying a word. Qian Xiaoxing immediately blocked him and the two of them wrestled with each other.
Although the onlookers pointed at Hu Youcai's slutty behavior, they had no choice but to support Qian Xiaoxing mentally.
Not far away, a carriage was parked, and a man in green clothes said to the carriage: "Master, the kid gambled with someone else last night. Hu Youcai lost two games in a row. Now he is sloppy and wants to get back the gold."
A woman's voice came from the carriage: "If you lose, you will be slutty. Hu Youcai is too shameful to our Dashi Kingdom's face. Go quickly and separate them. Don't let Hu Youcai succeed."
"Yes!" The man in green ran away immediately and came to the field. Seeing Hu Youcai's five bodyguards surrounding the two, they stepped forward from time to time to attack, trying to grab the money, and shouted: "Stop!"
The people who were fighting stopped. Hu Youcai was grabbing Qian Xiaoxing's collar. Qian Xiaoxing also grabbed Hu Youcai's face with his hands. Hu Youcai responded: "Who are you? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
The man in green suddenly rushed to Hu Youcai, took Hu Youcai's collar, grabbed Hu Youcai like a chicken, took out a gold medal from his arms with his other hand and said, "I advise you to get out quickly, otherwise you will be sent to the official court!"
Qian Xiaoxing remembered it very clearly when he saw the man in green. It turned out that it was Hong Xing, who protected Miss Nightingale in the teahouse yesterday. He saw him take out a gold medal to indicate his identity. Hong Xing was so surprised that he had such a big background. It seemed that Miss Nightingale should be nearby, so that she could protect the imperial guards like Hong Xing. Nightingale's identity was very noble.
Hu Youcai looked at the gold medal carefully and couldn't believe his eyes. Unexpectedly, the other party knew him even in the palace. Although he was arrogant, he still couldn't afford to offend the people in the palace, so he had to order the bodyguard: "Okay, for the sake of this big brother, I will spare you and let's go!"
"Who is your elder brother? Get out of here!" Hong Xing glared, let go of Hu Youcai's collar and cursed.
"Yes, yes, I'll disappear immediately." Hu Youcai was so scared that he ran away immediately, and disappeared into the street soon.
Hong Xing shouted to the onlookers: "It's all gone!" The crowd was so scared that they turned around and left.
When Qian Xiaoxing was fighting with Hu Youcai just now, he was punched in the face, rubbed his hands and said to Hong Xing: "I'll meet again so soon. Although Hu Youcai used force to grab gold, we may not lose, but thank you."
"Don't thank me, it's my master's intention, so I'm too lazy to care about your troubles." Hong Xing said expressionlessly.
"Oh, it turns out that Miss Nightingale is here too. Why didn't I see it?" Qian Xiaoxing stretched his neck and looked around, but he didn't find anyone wearing a hat.
While he was confused, Hong Wang ran over. When he saw Qian Xiaoxing, he remembered the incident of Qian Xiaoxing being rude because he was not polite. Although he was unhappy, he had to politely say, "My master, please come over and talk."
Qian Xiaoxing was so arrogant when he saw that the other party wanted to go over by himself. He remembered the nightingale's self-righteousness and shook his head and replied, "Although your master helped me, I have never asked her to do it. I don't owe her what I want to see me, so if she wants to come over by herself."
Hong Wang obviously did not expect Qian Xiaoxing to refuse, and immediately said angrily: "You dare to be unreasonable to our master. If you believe it or not, I will beat you up!"
Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Okay, come and hit me in the face. I'll let your master see you later. You just use your fists to invite someone to see how your master punishes you."
Seeing the two of them choked up, Hong Xing smoothed out and said, "Hong Wang, don't do anything wrong. Just reply to the master as he said."
The Nightingale was thinking about Qian Xiaoxing's question of winning thirty balls in the carriage. Qian Xiaoxing's ability to win two games in a row means there must be a trick. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out the trick. However, it's no wonder that for the ancients, he was not very proficient in arithmetic division, so it was really difficult to think about the trick quickly.
After a while, Hong Wang came to reply and told Qian Xiaoxing's words. Nightingale heard Hong Xing's reply outside the carriage. Qian Xiaoxing actually wanted to let him go over to see him. His airs were really bigger than himself. If he was an ordinary businessman, he would not have done such a move. He felt more mysterious about Qian Xiaoxing's identity. If Nightingale usually didn't arrest such a person, at least he would sneer at least, but yearn for the answer to the question, and still couldn't help but want to understand it, so he said to Hong Xing: "Then let's go there."
"This..." Hong Wang couldn't believe that Nightingale agreed, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to drive into the carriage and come to Qian Xiaoxing.
Qian Xiaoxing was talking and laughing with Ling Shan about the question in the restaurant yesterday. He was stunned when he saw the carriage coming. Unexpectedly, this noble woman really came to see her.
The carriage came to Qian Xiaoxing, but Nightingale did not show her face, just said, "I'm here to see you. You should be satisfied. What's your name?"
Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to answer: "My name is Qian Xiaoxing."
A silver bell-like laughter suddenly came from the carriage and said, "You really want money to be careful and don't let others take it away."
"I am the Xiao of Chunxiao, the star of the star, and the girl's name?" Qian Xiaoxing asked back.
"Isn't my name Nightingale? You know."
Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to fool someone like me. This is just your nickname."
Inside the carriage, the nightingale hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I not say it?"
Qian Xiaoxing immediately retorted: "No, I told you everything. If you don't tell me, I'm not suffering a loss. I never want to do things that are suffering a loss."
"Is that so? Then I won't say it. I'll let you suffer a loss today." The carriage replied.
