Chapter 73 Return the bet
I'm done, and I've been put to the end of my life and I've completely lost it.
In a noble yard in the imperial city, a man stared at the rope hanging in front of him in a daze.
This situation has lasted for a day, and now his heart is fighting against heaven and man. When he came back from the arena yesterday, he kept locking himself in it and no one was allowed to get close to it.
Why is this happening? Why would the bet that was originally a sure win? Why would Long Tian, a useless playboy, win? Why would Li Wen, who is much stronger than Long Tian, lose? It shouldn't be like this. This is not what I want. I have put all my property on it, and now I have lost completely.
All of this in front of me will be the property of others in the future, including my land, my house and my servants. What is the point of living now?
But I was unwilling to give up, and I didn't want to die just like this. But what is the difference between a noble without money and a civilian? There is no difference. Communication between nobles depends on money. Who would care about me, a little noble without money. Instead of living a cowardly life, it's better to die soon.
He finally made up his mind and walked towards the rope step by step, approaching death step by step. He found that this section of the road was very long and felt that he had walked for a long time.
He stepped onto the chair, held the rope tightly with both hands, slowly moved it to front of him, and put his headband in little by little.
He was dazed again and did not kick off the chair under his feet. Why did he lose, I don’t have to do this if he wins, why...
In the end, he couldn't figure out why. There was no sign of Ling Feng winning, not even a little bit. If there was a little bit, he would be a little bit more contented.
Death, don't worry about all this anymore. He made up his mind again and kicked the chair away with difficulty. It was over...
"Master, Master, big incident! That boy Long Tian is crazy! He said he would return half of everyone's bet!!!" Just as the nobleman just kicked the chair, the news that could give him rebirth came from outside.
However, this news can only bring him regret for a lifetime! Although this time is only a while, because he will soon end this lifetime.
"Master? Aren't you going right away? Now everyone has passed by, and if you don't go, you will be snatched away by others!" The voice just now came from outside the door.
"I'll go, I'll go right away!" He was very happy to hear the news, but found that he couldn't speak. Because his throat was being strangled by a rope, he could only make a "uh...uh..." sound.
"No, I don't want to die. I don't want to die now. Come in and save me!"
"Uh...uh..." He wanted to pull the rope with his hands, but he couldn't pull it away. Not only because of his weight, but also because he hadn't eaten for a day, and had no breathing, he couldn't move his head out of the rope cover he had tied with care.
"Uh...uh..." He grabbed the rope with one hand and reached towards the door with the other. Hopefully the door could be opened so that people outside could see him and save him.
"Why did I commit suicide! Why..." His hands slowly hanged down and hung there weakly.
The above situation occurs in many places, but the difference is that others are not unlucky without this noble. They get hope at the moment before their death, and useless hope.
"Report!!" The emperor's imperial study room sounded the cry of guards.
"Say it!" the emperor said in a low voice.
"Earl Chen Dawen committed suicide by taking poison at home. The reason is that he suppressed all his property against Li Wensheng. In addition, he borrowed a sum of money, which also pressed on Li Wen!" The guard read out the report in his hand.
"I understand, you go down." The emperor shook his hand powerlessly and asked the guard to retreat.
"Hey..." The emperor sighed and asked Bai Yun beside him, "How many are you the first one?"
"It's already the 57th! These are still some big nobles. The young nobles have not reported their suicides. Unless a miracle happens, someone will continue to commit suicide today." Bai Yun was right. This is just a relatively important and unimportant nobles. Finally, the statistics show that there are a total of 678 nobles who committed suicide on this day.
Because the number of suicides of nobles on this day was unprecedented, this day was called the Aristocratic Day. At the same time, this incident was also nicknamed the aristocratic donation incident in the Tianxiang Empire, because those who committed suicide were equivalent to giving up half of their property and contributing all their money to Ling Feng. Ling Feng used this money to do a lot of things in the future, which brought great benefits to the entire continent.
However, these suicide nobles are basically nobility with no real power, and they all live on the property left by their ancestors. Or some are raised by the empire because of their ancestors’ merits. These people are used to being comfortable and difficult to accept sudden blows. They cannot imagine their future lives, so they choose to die to escape.
"Report! Report! Report!! Report!!" The guard outside the door replied three times urgently.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" The emperor knew something big happened, so he prayed in his heart that he would not be a person who was very important to the empire. He also participated in this bet and lost and committed suicide.
"Long Tian, he...he..." The guard was so excited by the news that he couldn't speak the complete words.
"What's wrong with Long Tian?" the emperor asked nervously.
"Long Tian released a message saying that as long as the person who lost this bet, no matter whether it is a noble or a civilian, he can go to the Rock weapon store in the city to get half of the bet." The guards said this surprising news.
The emperor and Bai Yun were silent, and then looked at each other, both of whom saw doubts and surprises in each other's eyes.
"I understand, you go down!" Send the guards out in the same way.
When the guard left the imperial study room, the emperor looked ahead in a daze and said, "You said that Long Tian was so nervous this time that he suddenly returned the money he won to others. Although it was only half, it was also a huge amount. No one in this world would give this money to others for no reason."
"No one will do this. This can only be said to be a miracle, the miracle we just wanted. With this news, no one will commit suicide again." Bai Yun, like the emperor, also looked ahead in a daze, wondering what was going on.
"Well. This can only be said to be a miracle. However, the accidents that Long Tian gave people are bigger and bigger every time. I don't know what kind of surprise he will bring to us next time." The emperor said calmly.
"Since this is an accident or a surprise, it should be something we could not have imagined. However, the nobles who committed suicide this time were a bit unlucky, why didn't they wait for one more day?" Bai Yun said.
"It's unlucky. They met Long Tian, not only lost money, but also lost their lives. After they died, they were laughed at for being stupid. Why did they commit suicide so quickly?" The emperor paused and continued: "Long Tian defeated the enemy with one move and made them lose money. His news made people think these people were stupid and unlucky."
"Yes, even we couldn't imagine. Although we knew that Long Tian could win, we didn't expect that he defeated Li Wen just with one move. Even the others wouldn't know." Bai Yun recalled.
"Baiyun, go find Long Jue and find out the situation." The emperor pondered for a while and said.
"Well, I'll go right away." Bai Yun understood what the emperor meant. He wanted to know why Ling Feng did this. So he immediately set off to the military camp to find Long Jue, because he knew that Long Jue would definitely be there at this time.
When Baiyun came to the military camp to find Long Jue, Long Jue was worried about something, and even Baiyun ignored him when he came to him.
"Second brother, what happened? Did someone in your military camp commit suicide?" Bai Yun thought of this when he saw Long Jue. Because most of his space is occupied by this word now.
"Suicide? No, how could my people commit suicide?" Long Jue looked at Bai Yun strangely.
"There is no better, I thought you were in the same situation as me. Then why are you so worried?" Bai Yun asked.
"It's not because of Long Tian." Long Jue said angrily.
"Long Tian? Second Brother, you can't bear to leave the money, right?" Bai Yun thought that Long Jue was talking about Long Tian's money.
"What money?" Long Jue said in confusion.
"Aren't you worried that Long Tian has returned half of everyone's bet?"
"Return half of it? That's fine, my matter has been resolved." Long Jue's mood improved.
"Second brother, you can explain it clearly, I don't understand."
"The cause of this incident was yesterday's bet, because many people lost all of them. Some of them went to grab things and blackmail them. Then they broke into fighting and injured people, and they almost killed and set fire. So the city guards arrested many people on this day, making the empty cell very crowded, and there was no place in the end. They had to turn here and let us watch for the time being." Long Jue explained the matter to Bai Yun.
"So that's the case. Then it should be fine now. Everyone ran out to receive half of their bets." Bai Yun said with a smile.
"So I just said it's okay." After Long Jue finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yun and said, "What's going on with you today?"
"I came here today to ask you about Long Tian's money, but just heard you, you didn't seem to know about it either." Bai Yun said.
"I just came back from Xiaotian, but I didn't hear him say that there was something happening. Could it be that someone else posted it on his behalf?" Long Jing was full of curiosity.
"No, this matter must have been released by Long Tian." Long Xing said on the side.
"Why are you so sure that it is Long Tianfa?" Bai Yun asked curiously.
Long Xing coughed and said, "This matter was handled by Long Fei. He also took away the list of those who committed the crime because of losing money. I guess this is a blacklist, and no one on this person can receive the money Ling Feng wants to return."
"Well, I think it's the same. But I can't figure out how Xiaotian would return the bet. Even if he takes all this money, no one will say to him." Long Jue also didn't understand why Ling Feng did this.
"Well, I can't figure it out, either." Bai Yun said.
Ling Feng, who caused this chaos, is suffering now, to be precise, his ears and eardrums suffer.
"You dead boy, tell me how much you won this time?" Ao Wuxue grabbed Ling Feng's ear and shouted. This was because when she asked Long Tian about the money she wanted to win, Ling Feng refused.
"Not much, the cost is only more than seven million." Ling Feng said in enduring the pain.
"More than seven million, what are you holding every child with so much money? Leave it to me quickly." Ao Wuxue said with a little strength in his hand.
"No, I can't leave it to you. You are my grandfather's only regret." Ling Feng still rejected Ao Wuxue's request.
"??What regret?" Ao Wuxue relaxed his hand, and Ling Feng took the opportunity to escape and kept a certain distance from her.
"Grandpa said, I, such a shrewd businessman, have such a confused daughter, who can only do business at a loss. This is my regret." Ling Fengxue Ao Xiao's tone said.
"Bang!" Ling Feng's head was hit by Ao Wuxue.
"Is it okay to give me some household use?"
"Mom, it seems that our household income is reimbursed by the state. And this time you have also placed a bet, you should have won a lot." Ling Feng continued: "I have all the money I have used. Mom, you have seen it. I am in a mess here. I use money in many places. So I can't give this money to you."
"Just be stingy, you need to find such a reason. I'm going back now, and it's still so broken here. I'll come back after you finish it." Ao Wuxue said this and didn't ask again. Because she was just talking just now. Since her son wanted to use it, there would be no problem even if she took out the money. Moreover, this time she was just using the money he "earned" himself.
"Okay, then you go first. I have something to do." Ling Feng turned around and left, and wanted to return to his yard to continue planning the Heishishan and the few pieces of land he had just "buyed".
"Wait for Xiaotian!" Ao Wuxue called out to Ling Feng.
"What's the matter, mom?"
"I forgot to ask you something, why did you get so late for the duel yesterday?"
"This... I forgot that yesterday was the day of duel. I worked very late the day before yesterday and overslept."
