Chapter 353: Everyone says that the princes can't run fast

No matter how the merchants shouted to Li Zhi and petitioned the prince's prince, Li Zhi just didn't come back. Moreover, the guards rushed over to separate Li Zhi from the merchants. Although the guards also belonged to the government soldiers, they were even more powerful. They took off the horizontal swords from their waists and slapped the merchants close to them, so that they could get away from the prince.

As soon as the guards took action, the merchants naturally did not dare to rush forward, so they had to shout from afar. However, no matter how loud they shouted, Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an turned a deaf ear and did not even turn their heads here, as if they didn't hear a shout.

The businessmen were making trouble here, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were not idle. They gathered the bare-armed and strong men running in front of Wang Ping'an to the table and registered their names and addresses.

The strong men were full of hope, waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to reward money. These strong men were not for face, and many of them were not idle people. Of course, if they were idle people, they would not have such a good physique. They all came for money, and ran away for nothing but for the baskets of shining copper coins!

Wang Ping'an's sweat had almost gone away. He put on his coat and came to the officials of the Ministry of Revenue with Li Zhi to see them register the strong men.

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue are all erotic people. They ask the strong men two questions. One question is whether they want to get more money through running and supplement their household income? The second question is whether they want to get money or not, not to let them place bets, but to think that they are gambling tools. The bet is who they run faster and lasts for a long time!

The strong men came for money, so no one wouldn’t answer. After counting in detail, more than 500 people agreed to be gambling tools and were willing to race against others!

After registering the names and addresses of the strong men, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue registered their names and addresses, they asked them to stand in several rows, and then gave them a semicolon, from No. 1 to more than 500. Each strong man held a wooden sign in his hand with his number written on it.

After queuing up, a loud official came out and shouted to the people: "Don't watch the fun, now something good is coming."

He pointed to the strong men in several rows and said, "These people are holding numbers in their hands. They will run from Tonghua Gate to Anli Gate later. This is not close. You bet who can win and who can run to Anli Gate first!"

The people were suddenly in an uproar. They just watched the merchants quarrel and didn't have time to look here. Unexpectedly, in just a while, these strong men had their license plates in their hands, and they also wanted to bet who would run to Anli Gate first. Anli Gate is not an ordinary gate. It is one of the city gates of the palace. Going west is the famous Xuanwu Gate!

The official shouted again: "The bets are the same. No matter who you place, as long as you win, you double and win back the money of two bets. The opportunity must not be lost, and you will never lose it again. There are more than 500 people asking you to choose which ones you want, and try your best!"

Many people who are gambled with their eyes lit up after hearing this. They can even bet on this, and they are gamblers! Those people who are not gambled with two money can't help but think, why not go up and take a look, find a stronger man and put two big money on him?

The official took a step back and said loudly: "Come on, come up and choose, you can only look at it and not touch it!"

Whether the people who wanted to gamble or not, they all rushed over and looked at the strong men with laughter, making the strong men blush and thick necks. The more embarrassed they were, the more embarrassed they were!

Li Zhi looked interesting and smiled at Wang Ping'an, "No sick, otherwise you can go up and get a number and let the people make bets?"

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "It's true, I guess as soon as I go forward, the people must bet on me. I want to see how much I am worth!"

He shook the coat he was wearing and strode towards the strong men. As he walked, he shouted: "Come on, I will participate too. The villagers will bet after they are ready. I am very good at running around!"

Li Zhi laughed loudly, followed quickly, and shouted, "The prince is here too, give him a call!"

The ground was blown suddenly, like cold water pouring into a boiling oil pan, and the people exploded!

"The prince and the prince are here to participate. I bet the prince and the prince and the prince are ten, and he will be the first one!" Before anyone could scream, Master Jin San shouted first.

Because he ran too slowly and was "selected" as a representative, he negotiated with Li Zhi, so he didn't have time to get the number. Besides, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue may not give him the number, so he didn't have the chance to participate. But when he saw that Wang Ping'an took off his arms and went on stage, of course he had to support him, so he immediately paid ten cents of money!

Many businessmen have seen the opportunity, which is a good opportunity to flatter. No matter whether Wang Ping'an can be the first or not, the bet he is now the loudest flattery!

The merchants didn't care about discussing how to petition in the Secretariat. They looked at the front of them first, screamed, and hugged the table of the Ministry of Revenue officials, asking Wang Ping'an to run first!

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue did not expect that Wang Ping'an would come to participate. They were in a hurry and quickly assigned him a number. After the number was off, it turned out to be No. 598!

Wang Ping'an raised his license plate high and smiled and said, "I will send the Dojili number, I will bet on me!"

There were more people rushing to protect Wang Ping'an. The table was filled with countless people, but other strong men were ignored!

The person with a good head thought about it and bet Wang Ping'an to run first, but if he couldn't run first, wouldn't everyone lose? Maybe he would deliberately not run first!

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted with his neck straight: "Can you bet the prince and the princess to run first!"

When the people heard the shouts, they were stunned. The scene suddenly became quiet... The ground was booming again!

"Yes, we can't bet the prince and the princess first, can we bet this?"

This kind of gambling method was not discussed in advance, but what the officials of the Ministry of Revenue do, facing numbers all day long, and they are eating this bowl of rice! The leading official thought for a moment and said, "You can bet on the king and prince can't get the first place, but it's only for betting on him. And when you bet, you have to say that he can't get the first place. So who do you think he can get the first place? As long as you guess correctly, you will get ten points!"

Don’t think that one loses a lot of ten, but if you bet on numbers and more than five hundred, it would be difficult to get one, and most people would not be able to guess it!

But somehow, the people were unable to get the first place in Wang Ping'an and were more interested in it. They even agreed that he couldn't get the first place. Many of the people who made good bets before changed their minds and won the first place if they didn't bet!

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue recorded their accounts quickly. In a short while, baskets of copper coins were piled up around them. After roughly speaking, the cash that was bet on Wang Ping'an alone exceeded 50,000 jin. This was because the people did not prepare in advance and did not carry too much money. If they knew in advance, the money would have to double!

Because there were too many people who bet, and at this time, people kept coming out of the city. After receiving the news, they all came to bet. It was estimated that in less than two hours, they could not register the bet alone. There were too many people. Although the Ministry of Revenue prepared quite well, they were too busy for a while!

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Ping'an ordered the strong men to go to have dinner, and the expenses will be paid by the Ministry of Revenue. Anyway, there will be profits but no losses today, so why not take advantage of the strong men!

Outside Tonghua Gate, a super market has been formed, with countless hawkers selling food, and the business in the city has been moved outside the city. No matter what business, as long as there are many people, the business will be prosperous!

Li Zhi just got over the addiction to being a civilian. He pulled Wang Ping'an and found a wonton stall to eat wontons. The third master of Jin also came over and had to pay the bills for them. However, he gave him a seat and asked him to accompany him to eat.

Master Jin is so happy. There is something to write about in the genealogy. The ancestor, that is, himself, once invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to dinner, and the prince Wang Ping'an will accompany him!

After eating wontons, I waited for a long time. Li Zhi became impatient and the betting was about to end. The leading official from the Ministry of Revenue ran over and said to Wang Ping'an with a sweat, "Mr. Wang and Prince, the count has been made. The bets on you are totally 61,852 knots!"

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed, took the statistics list, and smiled at Li Zhi, "Your Highness, you didn't expect that I am so valuable, more than 60,000 yuan, this is not a small number!"

Li Zhi also smiled and said, "Then you must be the first one. Give us a sigh of relief for our Chongxian Pavilion. If you say it out in the future, we will have light on our faces. Not only are you the first in poetry and the first in medical skills in Chang'an, but you are the first in Chang'an in the race!"

The official from the Ministry of Revenue said bitterly: "Yes, Wang and Mr. Wang, you must be the first. Even if you can't run first, you can run into the top 100. Otherwise, we Lord Shangshu must hang ourselves. If you run hard, you can save his life!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned and said, "Why, if I ran first, wouldn't the Ministry of Revenue lose a big loss? You said it was the opposite. It should be that I couldn't run first!"

The official from the Ministry of Revenue looked at the people behind him and turned around and said, "There are few people betting that you are the first in the elderly, betting that you can be the first in the first place, less than 30 trump card, betting that you can be the first in the first place, less than 200 trump card, add one trump card!"

Wang Ping'an's face collapsed and said, "Then what are they betting on? "I'm a little surprised. No, I'm so blind. I have mastered the skills of long-distance running, and I can run very well!

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue said: "Most people bet that you will run 500 people, and that will run 550 people, and that is, you will run 40,000 yuan in just bet that you will run the last one!"

He stretched out four fingers, added another fist, and said, "Your old man's number is me, it's good luck, so the gamblers all bet on this number, and the total is 40,000 guan. If you really run the last one, then our Ministry of Revenue will have to pay 400,000 guan. If we Lord Shangshu can't hang himself, then we have to jump into the river instead!"

Wang Ping'an slapped the table and said angrily: "They actually look down on me so much. It's outrageous. I will definitely not be the last one!"
