"Young Master, I have three hundred taels here!" After taking the three silver notes of one hundred taels from Qin Biwu's hand, Qin Yiting took a deep breath and stood up, shouting to Tan Zong who was standing there awkwardly.

When the people at the scene heard this, they focused their attention on Qin Yiting. Although Qin Yiting was wearing a mask, because everyone was too familiar with her in private, they were all in the same social circle, and many people still recognized her.

Of course, more people know that Tan Zong was sitting next to Qin Yiting just now. The two should be friends. Li Shaoqing deliberately made things difficult for Tan Zong, so he would be sincere and not give Qin Yiting face. It would be reasonable for Qin Yiting to come forward to fight back. Otherwise, how would he raise his head in the capital in the future!

Qin Yiting's appearance made the atmosphere at the scene subtle. The Duke of Zhenguo and Duke of Wei were both famous nobles in Dashun. If both parties arose, things would become more exciting. Perhaps this was exactly what many people on the scene were looking forward to.

Looking at Qin Yiting who was standing up, Tan Zong felt a little surprised at first, and then felt relieved. If he could not borrow the three hundred taels of silver, he would definitely become a laughing stock among the people present.

"I thank you for this lady." At this moment, Tan Zong felt that Qin Yiting was simply an angel who saved people from danger. After bowing to her, he walked towards her with great strides.

Li Shaoqing frowned and looked at Qin Yiting standing there. He found that he had ignored something, that is, Tan Zong was sitting with Qin Yiting. His behavior just now was indeed a bit disrespectful to Qin Yiting, which was quite provocative.

Since this is the case, Li Shaoqing, who was in the wrong hands, had nothing to say about Qin Yiting's actions at this time.

"Hmph, I'll give you a discount." After Tan Zong took three 100 taels of silver bills from Qin Yiting, Li Shaoqing's face turned cold and said coldly in his heart, looking quite unwilling. He was only a little bit short of him to make Tan Zong look disgrace.

"Thank you." Tan Zong nodded slightly at Qin Yiting and whispered when he turned around and left.

Hearing this, Qin Yiting smiled at Tan Zong, and a strange warm current rose in her heart, secretly encouraging Tan Zong. To be honest, she was very disgusted with Li Shaoqing's act of avenging her personal revenge and bullying others with her power.

After putting the three 100 taels of silver notes into the pallet, the sergeant holding the pallet counted one silver notch at the front of everyone at the scene, and loudly reported the amount and source of the silver notes.

According to the rules of the gambling game, Tan Zong, Luo Sanliang and Ma Laoer had to make a vow before starting the gambling game. Here they did not need to write their names, they just needed to press their handprints on them.

While Tan Zong and the other two were filing documents there, someone else made a bet again. It was Niu Tieqiang, the prince of General Niu Kaishan, who was the Huwei general Niu Kaishan. Niu Tieqiang set the odds of not being able to lift Tan Zong Shi Shi Zi to pay one to pay two, and the odds of lifting the stone lion were to pay three.

The odds are appropriate, which quickly attracted the interest of people on the scene. Many people bet on the bets. Most people thought that Tan Zong was bluffing, so they bet that he could not lift the stone lion. Only a few people chose Tan Zong who could lift the stone lion. Among these people, a considerable number of people just wanted to try their luck.

Some servants hold trays in their hands and shuttle in front of each row of seats. There are pens and paper on the trays. If someone wants to place a bet, they will write their choices and the amount they have placed on the paper. Those servants will stamp the seal in the middle of the paper, and then tear the paper from the middle into two parts, giving Niu Tieqiang the upper part, and leaving the lower part for the gambler.

The upper and lower parts both state the choice of the gambler and the amount they have paid. When the result comes out, the bet deliberately used the remaining part of the lower part to ask Niu Tieqiang for money.

"Sister Yiting, how do you bet?" When the servant dragging the plate came to Qin Yiting's table, Wu Xiangjun took out a fifty taels of silver from her arms and looked at Qin Yiting nervously. The fifty taels of silver were her private money, and she didn't want to lose in vain.

"I'll beg Menghua Gongzi." Qin Yiting didn't carry any money, so she reached out to take off a golden hairpin stuck on her head, put it in the tray with a smile.

"A jadeite golden hairpin is worth 100 taels." The servant was obviously a veteran. He picked up the golden hairpin and glanced at Qin Yiting.

Qin Yiting nodded when she heard this and signaled to agree with the servant's statement. The servant then bent down, wrote Qin Yiting's message on the paper, and issued a bet order.

"Sister Yiting, you really want to bet Menghua Dude. Look at those two barbarians, they are as strong as cows. How can Menghua Dude be his opponent?" Wu Xiangjun said to Qin Yiting with a worried look when she saw this.

"There is a saying in the art of war. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Since Menghua Gongzi has tried to take the test just now, I believe he already knows it. If he can't lift the stone lion, he will never bet with Luo Sanliang and Ma Ming." Qin Yiting smiled at Wu Xiangjun and explained to her in a low voice that Ma Ming was Ma Laoer's name.

Wu Xiangjun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then understood and looked at Qin Yiting in surprise, "So, will Menghua Gongzi be sure to win?"

"My elder brother never fights unprepared battles." At this time, Qiao Yu, who was sitting beside him, suddenly spoke and said confidently.

"Since Sister Yiting and Brother Qiao both think that Menghua Gong can win, then I will listen to Brother Qiao." Wu Xiangjun put the fifty taels of silver in her hand on the pallet, and then took out a red bead from her body and placed it on the silver note.

"One of the best ruby ​​is priced at 200 taels." The servant picked up the red beads and checked it. He quickly offered a price. After getting Wu Xiangjun's approval, he also issued a bet order.

Seeing that Qin Yiting believed in Tan Zong so much, Qin Biwu, who originally did not want to participate in the gambling game, also borrowed a hundred taels from his friend to stake Tan Zongneng to raise the stone lion, which was considered to be his support for Qin Yiting. Under his leadership, the three people at the same table made the same choice as him.

After Tan Zong and Luo Sanliang and Ma Laoer signed and bet, the people in the field had also finished betting, and the amount of silver was quickly counted to Niu Tieqiang. Among the two or three hundred people on the scene, the silver that Ai Tan Zong could not raise the stone lion was more than 16,000 taels, while the silver that Ai Tan Zong raised the stone lion was only 1,900 taels.

"Neal, you can't read it wrong, right?" Although Niu Tieqiang was prepared, he couldn't help but feel dizzy when he looked at the amount on the paper in his hand. He never expected that so many people would participate in the gambling game, and the total amount of the gambling money was nearly 18,000, and he couldn't help but ask Lian En, who was sitting next to him nervously.

If it weren't for Lian En's instigation, even if Niu Tieqiang was brave, he would not be stupid enough to open such an unsure gambling game here. You should know that the people at the scene were rich. Once the gambling game started, the amount would be large. This is why the person who started the gambling game had only paid a very low odds of 1.05. This is not that the person was stingy. The amount he had to bet was too large. If he lost, it would be a huge sum that no one could bear.

"Can you uproot the forces of the organization in Yangzhou and Suzhou in Jiangnan when the Jiangnan defeated the old traitors and uprooted the forces of the organization in Yangzhou and Suzhou? Do you think Tan Guerrilla is the kind of reckless person?" Lian En smiled slightly and asked calmly when he saw Niu Tieqiang becoming nervous.

"Ask wealth and honor in danger, isn't it just more than 10,000 taels of silver? At worst, I can go to Northern Xinjiang to find my second uncle." Hearing this, Niu Tieqiang looked at Bass and Nail who were standing there like an iron tower. Although he was still a little nervous, he believed in Lian En's judgment, so he slapped his thigh with his hand and said in a deep voice.

"If you lose, I will take it with you. Let's go to the northern border to join your second uncle." Lian En laughed immediately after hearing this. If they really lose this bet, the only way is to leave the capital and run away and throw the debt to their homes. They can't afford 14,000 taels of silver to allocate it to the gamblers.

"Haha..." Niu Tieqiang also laughed and reached out to pat Lian En on the shoulder. The reason why he had a good relationship with Lian En was because he valued loyalty, which was also one of the reasons why Lian En became the four eldest sons in the capital.

"Please!" Tan Zong, Luo Sanliang and Ma Laoer's bet were in triplicate. The three of them pressed their handprints on it and handed over the bet to the three of them. A soldier stretched out his hand at Tan Zong and signaled that he could go and lift the stone lion.

Tan Zong first bowed to Zhao Yuzhao, then bowed to Luo Sanliang and Ma Laoer, who bowed to him and returned the bow to him. Then, he strode towards Shishizi.

"You said, can this guy lift the stone lion?" Looking at Tan Zong's back, Luo Sanliang asked Ma Laoer beside him. He never expected that things would develop tonight.

"This is not accurate." Ma Lao Er shook his head, frowned slightly, and he secretly guessed Tan Zong's identity in his heart. When did such a person appear in the capital?

Seeing Tan Zong walking towards the stone lion, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, silent, people looked at him one after another, waiting for him to lift the stone lion with interest.

As everyone was watching, Tan Zong came to the stone lion, first let out a deep breath, then squatted down his horse's stance, stretched out his hands and hugged the stone lion.

Looking at the scene in front of you, the people present couldn't help but hold their breath and stared at Tan Zong with concentration. No one wanted to miss what happened next.

"Dream Flower Master, you must raise the stone lion!" Qin Yiting couldn't help but hold her hands tightly, her eyes showing a nervous look, and she secretly encouraged Tan Zong in her heart.

Qin Biwu glanced at Qin Yiting from the corner of his eyes, and saw her looking at Tan Zong with a worried look. He frowned slightly at first, then let go, and an unaware smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
