The Crown Prince Is the Banker, Shocking Odds! Kneel, tip, and comment
It had been almost a month.
The Great Tang Scholar Competition had reached its most heated stage.
It could be said that everyone was paying attention to every favorite to win the championship. After all, if they were to befriend them in advance, there would definitely be great benefits in the future.
After the ten great scholars were selected.
This kind of behavior spread throughout Chang 'an.
The names of Gu Minglun, Wuqi, Zhao Hui, Wei Wuliang, Lu Yuan, Fan Zhongqi, and the others were also mentioned by many people.
In comparison.
The other seven people were either from powerful families or were famous young talents in their counties.
Only Lu Yuan, who was at the end of the line.
From the very beginning, his presence was not very high. In everyone's eyes, he was just an unknown lucky person.
Meanwhile, in the teahouse and wine shop.
Now, all the discussions were undoubtedly not about these people.
"Now that the ten great scholars have appeared, who do you think will have the last laugh?”
"If you ask me, it must be Young Master Gu Minglun. He's from a scholarly family and a prominent family in Jiangnan. I was lucky enough to read his article that day. It was really wonderful!”
"Eh, although Young Master Gu is talented, Young Master Zhao Hui is from Qinghe County.”
"That Wei Wuliang has always been the best in the competition. He can definitely be considered the biggest dark horse in this Grand Meeting!”
"I think so too. Young Master Wei's temperament is extraordinary, and the number one scholar of the Great Tang is definitely him!”
·····
For a moment.
The discussions about the dark horses spread to all the tea houses and wine shops.
After all, there were two things that scholars had in common. One of them was naturally the reputation that was mentioned in the past, and the other was that they liked to join in the fun.
Right now.
The top ten had been confirmed, and the remaining people obviously had no chance.
Compared to the tense atmosphere of the past few days, these scholars gathered together and drank wine and composed poems. They were especially happy and had a relaxed attitude.
After all, he had come all the way here.
If they did not see the final result with their own eyes, no one would feel good.
At this moment, a young man who looked like a scholar suddenly stood up and asked,"Oh right, have you placed your bets yet? This time, Young Master Wei Wuliang's odds are 1:10!”
"Bet?"
"Where did you get this news from?"
"Young Master Wei Wuliang is the number one seeded player, and he actually dares to pay 1 to 10?？？”
In an instant, many scholars present were shocked.
However, when they found out about the odds, they were all dumbfounded.
Wei Wuliang was ten to one, Gu Minglun was five to one, Zhao Hui was three to one, Lu Yuan was 1.1 to one, Fan Zhongqi was four to one…
How was this a gambling game?
This was simply charity!
Anyone with some gambling experience knew that under normal circumstances, in order to ensure that they would not lose money, the banker would often control the odds of all the players at an appropriate number.
In front of him.
According to the odds, even if it was not free money, it would definitely not earn much.
The moment they heard the news, everyone felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.
But the next moment, they began to worry.
A young man in bright clothes frowned and asked,"Brother, where did you get this news from?”
"It's all over Chang 'an now.”The man spread his hands and said.
"Then is this matter reliable? Do you know who made the offer?”Someone immediately asked doubtfully.
That's right!
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that something was wrong with this bet.
If someone deliberately leaked the news and waited for them to place their bets before running away, wouldn't they be unable to find the debt collectors?
As soon as these words were said, they immediately received the agreement of many scholars.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a figure appeared and interrupted their thoughts.
"Everyone, there's no need to guess!"
"This gambling game was personally set up by His Highness the Crown Prince. If you want to place a bet, there are officials waiting in all the restaurants!”The shopkeeper who passed by said with a smile.
Now.
All the restaurants had already been booked by Lu Yuan, and these people were naturally arranged by him.
After saying this.
It was like a huge rock sinking into a calm pond, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.
"Oh my god!"
"What? It's the Crown Prince!”
"I understand. The Crown Prince is kind-hearted and naturally doesn't want to take money. He must be doing this to find some fun for us!”
"Since it's the Crown Prince's bet, there's nothing to worry about.”
"Hahaha, we're worrying too much.”
····
What a joke.
Who was Li Chengqian? He was the crown prince!
With his name out, what was there to worry about? Would he still refuse to pay his debts?
For a moment.
The Crown Prince's reputation for being kind and benevolent quickly spread.
With his name, the scholars no longer hesitated and went to place their bets.
The place where the bets were placed.
Several guards were standing guard there. They were all attendants sent by Li Chengqian.
"The bet is set. Everyone, use the receipt as evidence!”The guard shouted coldly.
"Can I only bet on one person?"
Suddenly, a brawny man in the crowd shouted.
This sentence reminded many people.
The odds were 1 to 10 or 1 to 6. Even if they bet on a few people at the same time, they would definitely not lose out in the end.
Instantly, everyone became excited, and their hearts were filled with gratitude for their brother just now.
However, what they did not know was…
The person who said that was none other than Cheng Chumo.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that everyone only needs to place five bets!”The guard, who had already been instructed, calmly spoke upon seeing this.
"However, not everyone can place a bet in this gamble. If you have less than the usual amount of money on you, you are not qualified to participate in the bet!”
These words were naturally ordered by Lu Yuan.
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way!
What he wanted to plunder was the wealth of these aristocratic families and the children of the rich.
As for those poor students, their lives were not easy to begin with. He set up this condition to prevent them from falling into it.
Hearing this.
Those scholars were all so excited that their faces turned red as they placed their bets.
But five bets!
There were only ten people in total. As long as they bet on five people who were most likely to win, they would definitely make a profit!!!
As for the latter conditions, no one present cared.
This was because the people who could live in this place had basically spent several strings of silver, so they naturally did not care about this.
As for those poor students…
Lu Yuan had already informed Fang Xuanling about this and arranged some simple courier stations for them to stay in.
