On the Qinhuai River.
Inside the Hanlin cruise ship.
Zhu Bai was surrounded in a circle.
Wang Gen and the others asked curiously.
"Sir, who won?"
A Hanlin said with a smile.
"It must be the School of Mind that won!
Sir, how can you not win?”
"Yeah, it must be the School of Mind that won!”
Hearing this, Zhu Bai only looked around.
He said indifferently.
"Speak!
Who proposed this debate?"
Upon hearing this, all the Hanlin scholars shut their mouths.
He lowered his head.
Then, he silently took a step back.
Wang Gen was the only one who stood there in a daze.
He was at a loss.
He immediately cupped his hands.
"Teacher, I know my mistake!"
Wang Gen felt a little embarrassed.
He did not expect this matter to blow up so much.
There was almost no way to end it.
Zhu Bai nodded as he looked at Wang Gen who was sincerely admitting his mistake.
"Alright, I'll let you off this time.
Don't do it again."
Wang Gen, who had been forgiven, was delighted and was about to say something.
But Zhu Bai immediately followed up with a sentence.
"Wang Gen, do you know how to swim?"
The other party was a little puzzled, not knowing why he was asked this question.
"Teacher, this disciple grew up by the river, so I naturally know how to swim.”
Hearing this, Zhu Bai nodded and immediately shouted.
"Men, throw this guy into the water!”
"Yes, sir!"
With the idea of dying a friend but not a poor man.
The Hanlin immediately went forward and lifted Wang Gen.
He threw it directly into the Qinhuai River.
"Plop!"
Wang Gen created a huge splash on the river.
Fortunately, he knew how to swim and could swim in the river.
However, the river water was a little cold.
A Hanlin asked softly.
"Didn't Mister forgive Wang Gen?”
someone whispered.
"With such a big thing happening, we must definitely make him suffer.”
Hanlin said.
"This is the so-called door to happiness!
Mister, you have to make your thoughts clear!"
As soon as these words were said, the Hanlin scholars nodded one after another.
That was the truth.
If they encountered such a thing, they would definitely do the same.
At the same time, on the other side of the boat.
A Confucian scholar from Shandong.
He asked curiously.
"Sir, did you win this debate?”
Zhu Xiangzhao did not nod or shake his head.
He seemed to be recalling the conversation just now.
The Confucian scholars were not in a hurry and waited at the side.
After a long time, he slowly said.
"The study of the heart is a good knowledge.
Although it contradicted many theories, it couldn't be wrong.”
Hearing Zhu Xiangzhao's words.
Someone couldn't help but say.
"Could it be that teacher lost?"
However, the others only hit his head.
"Stupid, Sir definitely didn't lose.
Otherwise, why would Hanlin be so quiet?”
Hearing this, the few of them looked at the Hanlin cruise ship opposite them.
It was indeed quiet.
Except for one person who was thrown into the water and was still struggling.
"That's right, if Hanlin wins.
They would definitely celebrate!”
But the scholar couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He didn't win or lose. Could it be a draw?
It wasn't just them. The people on the shore were also looking forward to the outcome for a long time.
He couldn't wait to get information.
However, the Hanlin Academy and the Shandong scholars were silent.
No one revealed it.
This made all the scholars anxious.
They had waited so long for the results.
But now, the other party had kept his mouth shut.
Especially after the bets were closed.
He didn't know how to judge the result.
"It should be Xin Xue who won. Look at the cold faces of the Confucian scholars in Shandong!”
"That's not right, isn't Hanlin's face also cold?”
In the end, the bet was a draw.
For a moment, the people who had placed their bets on victory and defeat all vomited blood.
"Yue Ni Mu, refund the money!"
Many gamblers lost all their money and jumped in anger!
Plop.
He threw it into the Qinhuai River.
Such a scene could be seen in many places along the Qinhuai River.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
The gamblers were so angry that they jumped into the water.
He really couldn't take this lying down.
In the restaurant, Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene.
"Investigate, why did these people jump into the river?”
With that order, someone quickly went out to investigate.
In less than ten minutes, someone came up to report.
"Your Majesty, these people are all gamblers.
There was a betting table in the gambling dens in the capital, and many people bet on the Xiang King losing.
But now, the outcome was a tie.
These gamblers lost everything!”
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
"Hmph, meaningless gambler!
Who said that Prince Xiang would definitely lose!"
With that, he brought Empress Ma and the others back to the palace.
Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with this result.
After all, he didn't lose!
At such a young age, what was the difference between a draw and a win?
……
In front of the capital's largest betting table.
Wu Yong brought along a dozen Imperial Guards.
He came to get the money.
"According to the odds, the total is 38,000 taels!
Hurry up and pay! I want all of them in cash!"
The person in charge wanted to deny it or delay it.
However, when he saw the imperial guards in front of him, he was scared out of his wits.
"My, my lord!
The amount is huge. Please give me some time to raise the money!”
Nearly forty thousand taels was not a small number.
Moreover, the other party did not want silver notes. He only wanted a sufficient amount of silver.
It would take some time to gather them.
"Hurry up!"
Wu Yong was not afraid that the other party would go back on his word.
It was just a pity that he only earned two hundred taels.
He was still a little regretful that he hadn't been firm back then.
Otherwise, it would be good to buy more.
Zhu Bai had heard that the gambling den had bets and had a plan.
The reason why he appeared so late was to arrange this matter.
Of course, he did not have that much money.
But Zhu Bai had an advantage, he had many brothers.
Each of them borrowed a little, and they actually managed to gather two thousand taels.
According to the 20 times odds, it was close to 40,000 taels.
Moreover, the odds of Zhu Bai winning were only 15 times.
The betting board thought that there would definitely be a winner in the debate.
But they didn't expect that someone was manipulating it.
Moreover, it was the target of the bet!
In a sense, the idea of betting was correct.
Because neither the Hanlin Academy nor the Shandong Confucianists came to place their bets.
Only Zhu Bai didn't care about this.
An hour later.
"Y-Your Excellency, it's all gathered!"
The person in charge of the bets said in fear.
The person in front of him was obviously a noble.
However, such a noble was doing things for others.
The identity of the person behind the scenes could be imagined!
However, he did not know that the person behind the scenes.
It was Zhu Bai!
Otherwise, this person might be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Wu Yong checked the thirty-eight large boxes. There was no problem.
Then, he led his men towards the Imperial Palace.
He sent the silver all the way to the west courtyard of the Cining Palace.
He looked at the large boxes in front of him.
Zhu Bai, who was like a saint in front of the Imperial Academy.
His eyes were shining.
Obviously, he had not reached the level where he regarded money as dirt.
Looking at the boxes of silver being unloaded, Zhu Bai felt a little grateful to Wang Gen.
If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have had the chance to earn so much!
"There's no need to unload this car."
Zhu Bai turned to Wu Yong and said.
"General, you have worked hard. This box will be your wine money.”
The other party did not refuse and only cupped his hands in thanks.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
It was quite a sizable amount to split a thousand taels among a dozen people.
After all, he didn't do much. He was just transporting silver.
After everyone left.
Zhu Bai looked at the mountain of silver in the room alone.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
"A small profit of 40,000 taels, not a loss!"
He knew that on the day of the debate, Zhu Bai had also given up.
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, he might as well take the opportunity to earn a small sum of money.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
