Chapter 228: None of them are idle
"I understand what the lord means, and I will immediately arrange for someone to go to other dealers to bet." Zou Fengchi is such a smart person, hearing Li Tai say this, he naturally understood Li Tai's thoughts.
"This Zhao Hong, who barely entered the top thirty-two, is a horse trainer at the King of Wei Horse Farm. In the end, he will ride the King's Wind Beast and win the Jockey Club championship. Li Tai said to everyone with a smile.
"It turns out that the lord has been planning a long time ago, and it seems that those who are ready to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie are going to be unlucky." Cheng Tieniu said with a laugh.
"The odds offered by several other companies for Zhao Hong are all fifteen to one. You send people to bet on each family, especially take care of the Boling Cui family. Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi.
Zou Fengchi nodded and left the Wei Palace, and then began to arrange for people to place bets at several other bookmakers. According to Li Tai's explanation, he took special care of the Boling Cui family.
However, Zou Fengchi didn't make too many bets, because Zou Fengchi felt that there was no need to make too big bets now, lest they feel anything in advance.
The best time to place your bets is just before the final starts. Only then can you catch the other party off guard.
……
East Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, now Guo Mu'an has a high call to win the championship. It seems that this time we can make a fierce comparison with King Wei. Eldest Sun Xiang said happily to Li Chengqian.
"Li Tai will never allow such a thing to happen, and if he is not sure of this, he will definitely not have this horse race." Li Chengqian shook his head and said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, does King Wei still dare to engage in any conspiracy and tricks. Now the eyes of Chang'an are all staring at the Jockey Club. Changsun Xiang said to Li Chengqian in disbelief.
"He is not stupid enough to think of a way until now, and he is estimated to have been fully prepared for a long time. Look at it, I don't know how many people will go bankrupt this time. Li Chengqian said with great certainty!
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, then what should we do next." Changsun Xiang asked Li Chengqian.
"Respond to change with the same, and don't do anything unusual now. Everything will be decided at the last minute. Li Chengqian said to Changsun Xiang.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have already placed a heavy bet on Guo Mu'an. If Guo Muan can't win this competition, I will be bankrupt. Changsun Xiang said with a helpless expression.
"Don't worry, how can this palace make you bankrupt. Prepare the silver, and I'll let you know who you are betting on when the time comes. Li Chengqian said to Changsun Xiang.
……
Tai Chi Palace.
"Erlang, I heard that during this time, that kid from Qingque has earned a ditch full of trenches." The eldest grandson said to Li Shimin.
"I said a long time ago that kid is definitely not the one who suffers, and he makes money as I expected." Li Shimin said with a smile.
"But I've heard people say that the winner is almost certain nowadays, if everybody is crazy about betting on it. When the time comes, won't the green sparrow lose all her money? The eldest grandson Wujian said to Li Shimin worriedly.
"This is a secret contest between Qingque and Gao Ming, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the end." Li Shimin said.
"How can this matter have anything to do with Gao Ming." The eldest grandson asked puzzled.
"You said that the champion who has basically been determined is one of Gao Ming's guards. The sweaty horse he rode was a clever mount. Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson Wuji.
"I'm afraid I can't hide this from Qingque, I guess he already knows about it. Could it be that Qingque just watched Gao Ming fail to do anything bad for him. The eldest grandson Wujian asked Li Shimin.
"These are just the surface, what are the real hole cards of these two boys, even I don't know very well. One thing is for sure, though, those who want a piece of the Jockey Club pie will end up falling prey to these two boys. Li Shimin said with a smug expression.
"I always thought that Qingque was full of bad water, but I didn't expect that even Gaoming City Mansion would be so deep." The eldest grandson shook his head and sighed.
"That's interesting, if there is no one who can restrain that kid from Qingque, he won't go directly to the sky." Li Shimin said happily.
"It seems that you enjoy this kind of competition, I really don't know how you became a father." The eldest grandson said after glancing at Li Shimin.
"It's better to pay in full without gunpowder smoke than to break the blood flow between two people." Li Shimin said.
……
Time flies, and in a flash, it's the Lantern Festival. This is the time when the Jockey Club finally competes for the championship.
It is estimated that the impact of the Jockey Club at this time is far more influential than this Lantern Festival, which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.
At this time, there were only eight players left on the field, and each dealer had already closed the game. Just wait for the moment when the final winner will be produced.
It can be said that everyone was worried at this time, because they found that many players had changed horses. This brings with it a lot of uncertainties.
However, there has long been a rule in the Racing Association that a player can choose three horses for racing. After all, no one can guarantee that there will be a racehorse injured during the race.
"My lord, according to your explanation, I have placed heavy bets on other dealers. The minimum bet is also a thousand taels of silver. Bet 10,000 taels on Boling Cui's house. Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.
Li Tai didn't expect Zou Fengchi to be so ruthless, if nothing else, the Boling Cui family would lose to himself 150,000 taels of silver.
"You made such a big bet, didn't it make the Cui family feel that there was something strange in it?" Li Tai asked Zou Fengchi.
"I didn't directly ask people to bet, but let Cheng Tieniu play a farce." Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai with a smile.
Hearing Zou Fengchi say that he asked Cheng Tieniu to act in a farce, this made Li Tai feel a little novel, so he said: "Sit down and talk carefully, this king wants to hear how you acted in this scene." ”
It turned out that Zou Fengchi also felt that if he placed a heavy bet directly, it would make others suspicious. So let Cheng Tieniu act in a play.
The general content is that Cheng Tieniu went to Boling Cui's house, bought Guo Muan to win, and bet a thousand taels at a time. Just when Cheng Tieniu was about to place a bet, someone said something cool on the side.
said that Cheng Tieniu even wanted to pit his brother's money, and he was really not a righteous man. These words directly angered Cheng Tieniu, and Cheng Tieniu reasoned with the man on the spot.
The reason for the man's thought was that he felt that the gambling market started on the thirty-third day. Now Cheng Tieniu is betting that he wants to win Li Tai's money.
In the end, Cheng Tieniu was helpless, and he directly bet 10,000 taels and bought Zhao Hong, who was the least likely to win. And because he couldn't take out so much silver, he directly staked the Lu Guogong Mansion to others. And wrote the IOU deed on the spot.
