Chapter 229: Cheng Bites Jin to Share the Spoils
"It is estimated that at this time, the people of the Cui family are still laughing at General Cheng Tieniu," Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai with a smile.
"It's a shame that you can come up with such a solution, but this really won't make the Cui family suspicious." Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi with a smile.
"My lord, but I found that we are not the only ones who bet on Zhao Hong. There are also people who have also placed heavy bets on Zhao Hong. And it's under our 33rd day gambling board. Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.
"What are the odds we offer Zhao Hong?" After hearing Zhou Fengchi's words, Li Tai asked.
"Like other bookmakers, it's fifteen to one, and this time we may have to lose a lot." Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.
"What a bet he made with us." Li Tai asked.
"The man gave us five thousand taels. I've sent someone to investigate, and it should soon be clear who made the bet. Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.
"After a good trick of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch, I really want to know, who has this opinion." Li Tai suddenly felt a little curious.
Li Tai heard that someone bet 5,000 taels to buy Zhao Hong to win in his own gambling market, but he didn't feel that he had lost because of this, but he was very interested in this person.
At this moment, someone came over, saluted Li Tai and said, "The matter that Mr. Zou asked me to check has been clarified, and it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who won Zhao Hong in our gambling market." ”
"I didn't expect my imperial brother to have this scheming, it seems that I underestimated him." Li Tai smiled and shook his head.
Li Chengqian sent people to bet on Li Tai's gambling plate, but he was not as cautious as Zou Fengchi. Instead, they sent someone directly to buy it.
Because Li Chengqian decided to eat Li Tai, he knew that Li Tai would not change the whole plan because he bet on himself. After all, that would be a bigger loss to Li Tai.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know why he made this decision." Zou Fengchi said a little puzzled.
"Because the royal brother knows that this king will not make a loss-making business, he has been in the shadows early on, paying attention to our every move." Li Tai said with a smile.
"Then I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't directly place tens of thousands of taels, but only gave five thousand taels of silver." Zou Fengchi asked Li Tai.
"Because he can't afford to pay." Li Tai said with a smile on his face.
"Lord, I don't understand what I said, why I can't afford to lose a deal that is obviously a sure win." Cheng Tieniu asked Li Tai.
"You don't need to tell you about this, I can let you open your mind. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince makes a heavy bet, what will be the outcome of the lord's choice to die and break the net. Xu Liang asked with disdain at Cheng Yanjin.
Indeed, if Li Chengqian bet tens of thousands of taels of silver with Li Tai, in the end, Li Tai would rather lose if he broke the net, but at least he still had his previous income to make up for it.
But Li Chengqian didn't have that income, so he could only watch himself lose money.
And Li Tai may not really lose, because as long as Li Tai does not let Guo Muan and Zhao Hong win the championship, it will definitely be Li Chengqian himself who will suffer in the end.
Just as Cheng Tieniu was touching his head and thinking, he heard an angry roar coming from not far behind him.
"Cheng Tieniu, you stinky boy, you dare to escort your father's Lu Guogong Mansion out. Today, I'm going to let Lao Tzu find you and see that I don't pick your skin. Cheng Yanjin was beating and scolding, and he was looking for Cheng Tieniu.
This frightened Cheng Tieniu, and hurriedly said to Li Tai pitifully and sadly: "You can't ignore this matter, the lord, I took the Lu Guogong Mansion out for you." If my dad catches me now, he won't skin me. ”
"Zou Fengchi, Zou Fengchi, you are really smart and confused for a while. It's not good to find someone to play this scene, but I want to find Cheng Tieniu, and now I'm really worried about whether I can get back the capital of 10,000 taels. Li Tai shook his head and sighed.
"Lord, you don't seem to have taken out a penny of the principal, but the bet is my family's Lu Guogong Mansion." Cheng Tieniu looked at Li Tai and said with a speechless expression.
"That's right, it seems that this king has to study the issue of sharing the spoils with your father." Li Tai nodded embarrassedly and said.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin had already walked over, and he didn't even pay attention to Li Tai, so he walked directly towards Cheng Tieniu. and directly reached out to grab Cheng Tieniu.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Tieniu hurriedly flashed his figure, then hid behind Li Tai and refused to come out of anything.
"You kid now know that you're afraid, why don't you know you're afraid when you escort Lao Tzu's Lu Guogong Mansion out." Cheng Biting Jin raised his arms and rolled up his sleeves and yelled at Cheng Tieniu.
"Uncle Cheng, you dissipate your anger first. Brother Tie Niu was also forced to be helpless for a while, so he would do this reckless thing. Li Tai stood up and said to Cheng Biting Jin Shili.
"Reckless, you know that it doesn't matter if he is reckless, your Uncle Cheng's whole family is going to sleep on the street with him. Don't worry about this, see if I don't pick this kid's skin today. Cheng Yanjin said angrily.
"Uncle Cheng wants to be angry, I don't know how much silver Brother Tie Niu has given to your Lu State Mansion." Li Tai said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile on his face.
After hearing Li Tai's words, Cheng Biting Jin's big eyes rolled several times, and then said to Li Tai: "That kid took my old Cheng's Lu State Mansion and got 10,000 taels of silver." ”
"No, as far as I know, Uncle Cheng's Lu State Mansion shouldn't be worth that much money. Could it be that the dealer is stupid? Li Tai said with a pretended surprised expression.
"If it's just the Lu Guo Mansion, of course it's not worth the price. But this kid is pressing all the Lu Guogong Mansion, that is to say, once this kid loses, we can't take away a trace of the truth. The more Cheng Yanjin spoke, the more angry he became.
"In that case, it's really worth 10,000 taels of silver. In this way, the little nephew will pay 10,000 taels of silver and put this bet down. Li Tai nodded and said.
Hearing Li Tai's words, Cheng Biting King Kong wanted to nod his head and agree, but suddenly an idea appeared in Cheng Biting Jin's mind.
Cheng Yanjin said secretly in his heart: "This kid has never been the master of losses, and now he is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to make this bet that he will lose." There must be something strange in this, my old Cheng can't cheapen him for nothing. ”
"When did you kid become so warm-hearted?" Cheng bit the golden eyeball, and then asked Li Tai tentatively.
"Aren't I worried about Brother Tie Niu, who was skinned by Uncle Cheng. In that case, who will command the Four Spirit Qilin Army for me? Li Tai said with a reluctant expression, as if he had really suffered a big loss.
The more Li Tai is like this, the more Cheng Yanjin feels that there is something greasy in it. So Cheng Biting Jin made a ruthless decision.
I saw Cheng Biting Jin open his mouth and said to Li Tai: "If all this money is let out of you, someone will poke my old Cheng's backbone in the back in the future, saying that I am bullying juniors." Let's open this bet with three or seven, how about you seven and me three? ”
