Chapter 63: Drag the great scholar into the water!
The soldiers beat gongs and drums and shouted, attracting the attention of countless people.
Half an hour later, the news that Zhu Jun had set up a bet with ten thousand taels of silver spread throughout Yingtian Mansion.
Teahouses, brothels, inns, they all spread.
Soon after, even the nobles knew about it.
"This Madman Zhu is so crazy that he openly set up a bet. Doesn't he know that what Your Majesty hates most is gambling among officials?
How dare he blatantly set up a bet!" Xu Tianshou said.
Xu Jinda also frowned, "It should be about the bet with Song Lian."
News of Zhu Jun's bet with Song Lian also spread from the palace.
No one believed that Zhu Jun could win.
But what Xu Jinda couldn't figure out was, where did Zhu Jun get so much money?
Not to mention recruiting government soldiers, the number of relief efforts for the victims in the past few days alone has been not only 8,000 but also 6,000.
And there are still two meals a day, even the imperial court only has one meal of porridge a day.
Wouldn't this lunatic dig up the tomb of some ancient nobleman?
However, he rejected the idea just after thinking about it.
"Stop guessing, just go and see and you will know?" Xu Miaojin said.
In the past two days, Madman Zhu has almost become a famous figure in the capital.
Entering the university, writing articles, becoming a disciple of the great scholar Li Yanxi, gambling with Song Lian, recruiting government soldiers, and relieving the victims. This series of events made Xu Miaojin somewhat confused about Zhu Jun.
Crazy Zhu seems to be a little different. You could say he has gotten better, but the things he does are getting crazier and crazier.
This made her a little curious.
"I won't go!" Xu Jinda shook his head. He had been feeling uneasy these past two days, always feeling that something big was about to happen.
"Fourth brother, let's go!" Xu Miaojin said.
Xu Tianshou nodded, and the two of them left the mansion. Not only that, Xu Tianshou also called Deng Nu over.
When we arrived at the charity lottery shop, the whole street was blocked and packed with people.
Li Jiba led others to isolate everyone outside the human wall.
Zhu Jun was standing on the steps, holding a big speaker in his hand. The huge box behind him was filled with a box full of white silver.
The onlookers' eyes were wide open.
They are all ordinary people. When have they ever seen so much money?
"Fathers and fellow villagers, you should know who I am, right?" Zhu Jun asked.
"I know, King Wu!" everyone shouted.
"Since you know who I am, that's good. I think everyone in Yingtian will also know what I, Zhu Jun, am like!"
After saying this, many people couldn't help but sneer and sneer, what kind of person is Madman Zhu?
If it doesn’t harm anyone, it will burn high incense!
Zhu Jun seemed not to have heard their laughter, and continued: "I know that many people look down on me, so you must have heard of the person next to me."
Zhu Jun pointed to Li Yanxi next to him, "This old gentleman, called Li Yanxi, is a world-famous scholar, my teacher, the concubine of Zhan Shifu, and the professor in the university hall.
Mr.
The corner of Li Yanxi's mouth twitched, and she was pulled over to the platform by Zhu Jun. She felt like she was on a pirate ship.
But now that he's here, he won't hesitate even if he risks his own reputation.
He cupped his hands in front of everyone, wanting to say something, but couldn't. He always felt ashamed on his face.
The dignified Zuo Shuzi of Zhan Shifu actually came over to gamble, and he did so in front of the people of Quan Yingtian.
The face is completely lost.
Especially the shocked expressions of the people below made him even more embarrassed.
"Crazy Madman Zhu is so good that he even dragged the great Confucians into the water!"
"Mr. Li, did Madman Zhu force you? If so, just blink!"
Xu Miaojin, who finally squeezed into the crowd, was speechless, "His madness is getting worse and worse!"
Xu Tianshou sneered: "I didn't expect that Li Yanxi was forcibly dragged here by Madman Zhu."
Deng Nu shook his head, "Don't you know who he is? He is very competitive. Since he made a bet with Song Lian, he will fight for the upper hand even if he has to risk everything!"
At this time, Zhu Jun saw Lao Li's embarrassment and said quickly: "I introduce Mr. to you all because I want to tell you that I, on the honor of Mr., guarantee that I am not setting up the bet for my own selfish desires.
At present, the imperial treasury is empty, and it has been unable to make ends meet in providing relief to the victims in recent years.
Disaster victims from all over the country came to Beijing. Even though the government and kind-hearted people from all walks of life came to rescue them, they were still unable to survive.
Therefore, I have been thinking about it day and night, and decided to use my best skills to help the court relieve the pressure!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed disdainfully.
Did he relieve the pressure on the court?
Is it possible?
Unless the sun comes out in the west.
It's nothing more than setting up a bet in the name of the court and the victims.
Zhu Jun still didn't care about their ridicule, but explained the rules of the lottery to them seriously, and then asked someone to get dozens of porcelain balls, each with a number on it!
“You place your bets on the first day, and at noon on the second day, the ball starts rolling, and the winner comes directly to cash out the lottery ticket.
The initial prize pool is 10,000 taels, and the prizes in the prize pool will become more and more in the future. The higher the bet, the more prizes will be won.
The king also promised that all the profits will be used to relieve the victims.
Every tael of money used to relieve the victims is due to everyone’s contribution!
As the saying goes, when everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise. For the victims, please contribute your love!"
This strange gameplay, this coveted bonus, the world-famous scholar's platform, and the ability to help disaster victims aroused everyone's desire to buy lottery tickets.
No matter whether Zhu Jun is a disaster or not, at least he means what he says.
And the ten thousand taels of silver were also real money.
Money moves people's hearts.
Seeing that the crowd was a little restless, Li Yanxi walked in stiffly, took out two hundred Tongbao, and placed a hundred bets!
After placing the bet, he followed Zhu Jun's instructions, walked out and waved the lottery ticket in his hand, and then said shamefully: "Whether you win or not, just contribute to the great cause of charity!"
I have to say that the reputation of a great scholar is quite useful.
When many people saw Li Yanxi buying, they were a little ready to make a move.
Seeing this, Zhu Jun retreated to the back and asked Li Jiba to put the silver at the top of the hall, where anyone could see it as long as they came in.
Then, the government soldiers retreated and a group of people rushed in.
Seeing those people rushing in, the others were not to be outdone. They took their own money bags and said, "Place ten bets on me."
"I'll place a hundred bets. Bet me first..."
Several storefronts were immediately crowded with people.
Among these people, there are naturally many actors arranged by Zhu Jun, but as long as someone places a bet, more people will naturally be attracted.
Of course, there are many people who are waiting and watching, but it doesn't matter. The power of the charity lottery will only be truly revealed when someone wins tomorrow.
At this time, a person in the crowd shouted angrily: "Brother Yu'an, you are confused!"
Zhu Jun took a closer look and saw that it was Song Lian.
Not only Song Lian, but also Wei Guan, Gui Yanliang and others also followed.
Song Lian hurriedly ran to Li Yanxi and said with grief: "Although you and I have different ideas, you won't have fallen to this, right?
If this incident spreads, do you still want to be famous?
