The second day's bow horse competition was suspenseful, wonderful, three upsets in a row, the rise of the preliminary round He Guan continued to rank seventh, and the ninth place was a young soldier from Taiyuan Prefecture, named Yang Zaixing, who also got a high score of 92 points. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But what shocked everyone's attention was a little-known Tai student, who also got a high score of 95 points with the first place Hua Rong, but because of his poor reputation, he was relegated to second place.

For a time, the name Li Yanqing spread all over the streets and alleys of Bianjing, some people thought that Li Yanqing deserved to be the first, but some people also disdained it, thinking that he just played well by chance, and there were many people who supported him and opposed him.

The winemakers of the flower pie have a very good reason, "Of course, the cavalry shooting depends on the stable performance, General Hua is the first in the last session, and this time he won the first high score for two consecutive days, this is the accumulated experience, not one or two excellent performances can be replaced." ”

Of course, the Li faction was not to be outdone, they ridiculed each other, "If experience can be used as food, what else do you have to do in the competition, whoever has the highest experience, then let whoever takes the first place, why do you still have to compete, Li Yanqing is obviously more skilled in riding and archery, and he is only second when he is pressed, if he scores fairly, he is at least ninety-eight points, who has higher archery skills, everyone's eyes are bright." ”

.......

If the debate between the wine and tea guests is still a battle of will, but the three major guanpu shops have fallen into a huge passivity, and Li Yanqing's sudden rise has obvious flaws in the list of archers and horses they have formulated, whether it is their main list or the last thirty candidate lists, there is no name Li Yanqing.

Guan Pu Shop's production of the Bow Horse Contest List is a reference for gamblers to bet, but Li Yanqing's appearance not only hit the first place, but also changed the top three, which means that the vast majority of gamblers will lose this bow horse competition bet.

If you only consider the interests, the vast majority of gamblers will lose and make the Guan Pu shop full of money, but the Guan Pu shop is relying on the credibility of the food, so the result will seriously damage their reputation, and they can't afford the consequences.

Just an hour after the results of the semi-finals were announced, the shopkeepers of the three major guanpu gathered in Yutang Pavilion to discuss the corresponding strategies.

Like gambling industry, no strong background is not easy to touch, Yutang Pavilion is the queen mother's industry to the family, but to the family industry is many, not only a kind of shop, so this kind of small business problems, there is no need to let the owner come forward to ask, generally the shopkeepers first discuss a plan, if it involves the power of the government, the shopkeepers can not implement, and then submit to the master to solve.

The big shopkeeper of Yutange is surnamed Jiang, more than 50 years old, and has been in the Guan Flutter industry for 30 years, and has encountered all kinds of ups and downs, such as the problems encountered this time are also relatively common.

He slowly said to the shopkeeper of the other two Guan Pu: "I have sent someone to check the details of this Li Yanqing, and at the same time sort out the number of bets on him, about two thousand taels of silver, the largest of which is a person named Li Daqi, one thousand taels of silver, this person is the big proprietor of Baoyan Zhai, I suspect that he is Li Yanqing's father, after all, only a father will have such great confidence in his son." ”

The other two shopkeepers were in good spirits, and hurriedly said: "We also checked carefully before we came, no one in our two families detained Li Yanqing, the inference of the big shopkeeper should be correct, Li Daqi should be the father of this Li Yanqing." ”

"The biggest problem now is that if Li Yanqing takes the first place, then according to the loss of ten times the cap, I will lose 20,000 taels of silver, that is, Yutang Pavilion will lose a few hundred yuan, but each of you two families will earn at least 10,000 yuan, I can't explain it to the proprietor!"

It is impossible for Guan Pudian to lose money, at most there is only commission income, but the problem now is that the other two made a lot of money in silence, but let Yutangge show up, and Jiang Da Shopkeeper was really dissatisfied.

"We should consider it comprehensively, if we can stop Li Yanqing from taking the first place, of course, what if we can't stop it? I think this should be a good score. ”

The implication of Jiang Da's shopkeeper is that the benefits have been obtained by the two of you, but now let me work hard, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

The two shopkeepers understood what he meant, and wanted to let themselves share the benefits with Yutangge, how could this be possible? Which shopkeeper has the courage to share the profits of his store with others.

After a moment of silence, one of the shopkeepers said: "The best way is to prevent Li Yanqing from taking the first place, so that everyone will not be embarrassed." ”

Seeing that the two of them avoided the truth, and did not mention the matter of compensation, Jiang Da said coldly: "That's it!" We'll each go back and report to the owner, and if the owner says it's not necessary, then we don't have to worry about it here. ”

"But the owner may not be able to take care of this matter, and in the end we have to figure it out ourselves."

"What can we do? People are too students, we can't hide at the door of Taixue with a knife and wait for him to come out and stab him! ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Jiang was already impatient, stood up and said, "Let's go back and report first!" I have something to do, two of you, please! ”

……….

Although he drove away the two shopkeepers, Jiang Da shopkeeper couldn't stay out of the matter, so he got into a carriage and drove towards Xiangfu, which was located on the east side of Da Nei.

After the death of Empress Dowager Xiang sixteen years ago, her two brothers, Xiang Zongliang and Xiang Zonghui, also passed away successively, and the favor of the Xiang family has gradually faded, but they still have a large number of properties and real estate, and they are rich in the world.

At present, the principal of the Xiang family is the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Xiang Shi, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is also a fictitious position without real power, and the real power is in the hands of Cao Langzhong, which is the characteristics of the Song Dynasty court, the high-ranking officials have power and power, and the low-level officials have no power, which raises a large number of idle officials who have nothing to do, but the benefits of Yulu are not a lot.

Xiang Shi is the eldest son of Xiang Zongliang, although he cannot inherit the title of his father's county king, but he was also named the third secretary of the Kaifu Yitong, and he has a high-ranking official position in the Ministry of Industry, and he feels very good.

He has nothing to do in the court, but he is very busy at home, his biggest hobbies are two, one is to make people, the other is to make wine, perhaps because he is bored with a lot of money, he raised dozens of Meiji, every day for him to carry out the man-making movement, once at noon, once at night, although exhausted every day, but he is not tired of it.

Xiang Shi's other big hobby is winemaking, the Song Dynasty has a very strict control over winemaking, and there are only two types of people who are qualified to buy koji wine, one is the Zhenghu Hotel, followed by the clan, relatives and high-quality officials, Xiang Jia is a relative, not prohibited, so Xiang Jia also tried to make good wine, and finally brewed a wonderful wine in the hands of Xiang Shi's father Xiang Zongliang, named Tianol.

Xiang Shi inherited his father's talent for winemaking, and he was intoxicated with wine-making and wine tasting every day, the wine was bone-eaten, Xiang Shi was only more than 40 years old, but he looked like a sixty-year-old man, with loose skin and half-white hair.

At this time, Xiang Shi was in the room and reprimanded Xiang Cong for not doing his job, and he was idle with his cousin Xiang Huan all day long, causing trouble.

"What do you want me to say before you listen to it? I refuse to arrange for you to go to Taixue to study, and I refuse to let you enter the palace as a guard, you are twenty-five years old this year, when will you be sensible? ”

Although Xiang Cong's attitude is good, he bows his head to listen to the training, and he doesn't dare to say a word, but he is a typical left ear in and out of the right ear, although his father reprimands, he plays it correctly!

But today Xiang Shi was stimulated, Empress Zheng's nephew was a guard for three years and waited for Enyin, and went to Bashu to be a county minister, Xiang Shi thought of his son, he was even more anxious, he saw his son look indifferent, so he slapped the table and scolded: "Zheng Jun used to be a scoundrel like you, but people were obedient and became a guard three years ago, and now they are going to be county officials, you look at yourself, Wu can't draw a bow, Wen can't lift a pen, what do you say you will do?" ”

At this time, an old man reported outside the door, "Official, Shopkeeper Jiang has an urgent matter to see!" ”

The old man is the housekeeper, and he is called the housekeeper in the ordinary commoners, but he is called the old man in the mansion of the powerful and high-ranking officials. ”

As soon as the words came out, his mind changed and he hurriedly said, "Let him in!" ”

He suddenly remembered that he could let his son manage the industry, which could be regarded as accepting his heart.

"Sit down, too! Listen to what the shopkeeper says? ”

After a while, the shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly walked into the room, knelt down and bowed, "The villain Jiang Zhi sees the officials, see the Yanei!" ”

"What's the urgency?"

Shopkeeper Jiang sat up and said, "Back to the master, this is the matter, the question of betting on the bow horse competition......."

Shopkeeper Jiang gave Xiang Shi a detailed report on the current predicament, and at this time, Xiang Cong suddenly interjected in a daze on the side: "Father should clean up this Li Yanqing well!" ”
