Thursday the second week at 7:30 am.

Zhang Qijie and others endured their hunger and walked to the church door. They all reached out to cover the dazzling summer sun, just like a group of prisoners walking out of the ground from the cave. After their eyes adapted to the sun, what they saw and heard in front of them suddenly made them forget about hunger and sleepiness.

The street in front of me has become a lake again. The Xuanhuafang stone tablet at the entrance of the Yamen is the deepest place. The street has become a river. Groups of people flowing along the river to the Yamen, gathering into a larger and larger water surface. The crowds are crowded with ripples. Even half of Sany Square is crowded with people looking forward to it. Because of the too many people's discussions, it has turned into a huge buzzing sound, like a hurricane flying to the water.

The Chamber of Commerce squeezed to Xuanhuafang opposite the main entrance of the yamen, but another new red list was posted next to the Democratic Party’s red list that received 100,000 yuan in bonuses yesterday. When they looked closely, they felt like they were struck by lightning:

The list says:

"I received an emergency telegram from the capital today, and I specially issued a list to the people:

Yesterday Wednesday, a person in the capital who did not want to reveal his name, claimed to be a devout Christian. He did not like the flood of opium, did not like the rampant alcohol, did not like the trafficking of women and children, and only liked justice. After reading the newspaper, in order to express his support for the election, he encouraged the candidates of the Presbyterian Christians, and implemented the important edict of His Majesty's "The People Come to Election, Election for the People", and specially invested in purchasing lottery tickets of several Presbyterian gentlemen of Longchuan to show that he hoped that they would get Longchuan's expectations for Jesus:

The number of purchases is as follows:

Zhang Qijie: 25,000 photos;

Li Guangxi: 25,000 photos;

Fan Linhui: 25,000 pictures;

Wang Yu Family: 25,000 pictures;

total:

100,000 yuan.

Note: The gentleman specifically stated that he donated bonuses for God, not for personal gain, so he purchased the lottery tickets with cash such as gold dollar coupons and banknotes. The buyer stated that he was a "Christian". After purchasing a large registered lottery, he immediately cut the lottery to show his determination not to redeem the prize. After requesting instructions and research by the lottery issuing company, he agreed to the gentleman's request: 100,000 silver dollars will be directly included in the lottery pool and paid to the winner.

Lottery sales location: 6th floor, News Building, No. 147, Governor's Mansion Road, Haijing, sales point of the headquarters of "Da Song Patriotic Lottery Issuing Company" at No. 147, Haijing Governor's Mansion Road."

Looking at the huge amount of gambling, coupled with the footnotes of the huge amount of gambling in the Democratic Party and the unlicensed and unredeemable prizes, the onlookers exclaimed bursts of surprise.

"Who is this person? You don't have to pay back if you buy 100,000 yuan at a time? There are so many rich people in the capital." Someone sighed, lamenting that they will never be so rich in their lives.

"What is a gold coupon? Cash?" someone asked.

A well-dressed businessman next to him looked at the man's simple clothes and smiled and said, "Golden Yuan coupons? You probably won't see them in this life. The minimum face value of that thing is 100 yuan, and you can directly exchange them for 100 taels of gold. It is a kind of banknote. According to the current price of gold and silver, one piece is equivalent to 1,600 taels of silver. It is basically not seen by the people, and it is all international traders and big merchants who use to pay large amounts of business."

"What? Mutual exchange of gold? All of them are? Not yet known? So rich!" Many people sighed.

Someone waved his hands and shouted, "Wait, no! The lottery ticket is anonymously bought and refused to redeem the prize, but Zhong Jialiang's 100,000 is registered. This means: If our Chamber of Commerce can win, we have more lottery pools; if the Democratic Party wins, then there are fewer lottery pools, because Zhong Jialiang's 100,000 will also participate in the return of his duties!!!"

"Yes! If the Chamber of Commerce can win, it will earn more than the Democratic Party wins, and there will be more bonuses for a single lottery!" Many people shouted.

Looking at the list, listening to the discussion, and enduring hunger and deprivation, the few people in the Chamber of Commerce were trembling like wooden people, and their faces were not sure whether they were crying or laughing.

Fan Linhui's brother-in-law approached the list and looked at it again and again, then burst into tears: Although he hasn't won, at least the 5,000 yuan in his brother-in-law's factory is still his for the time being.

His cry reminded the people around him who were watching the fun. Everyone realized that the bosses of the chamber of commerce were also here. I don’t know who called him good, and everyone cheered happily.

Amid the roar of applause, everyone from the four heroes of the Presbyterian Church shed tears.

This election lottery is really thrilling, and it can be a striking reversal at any time.

Fan Linhui also followed his brother-in-law and couldn't stop crying: he had a gamble for a moment, and almost let his hard-working profits go to waste. When he turned around and saw Dr. Li and the others coming to see him, he stepped forward and hugged Dr. Li, buried his head on the other party's thin chest and burst into tears.

This mourning infected other comrades who fought side by side and fell into a defeated land, Zhang Qijie and Li Guangxi also came over. Both of them also covered Dr. Li's shoulders, lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and let the tears slowly flow down. Dr. Li patted their shoulders and said, "I said before: So don't worry, say, what to eat? What to drink? What to wear? These are all what the Gentiles ask. Your Heavenly Father knows all these things you need. You must first ask for His kingdom and His righteousness. All these things will be added to you. So don't worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow will have tomorrow's worries. One day of difficulties is enough. (Matthew 6:32-34)"

At this moment, there was only one person howling in the crowd, rushing over like a locomotive and screaming: "Is this true? I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Qi Yunlu pushed everyone away and rushed to the Xuanhuafang stone tablet. Looking at the new list, her eyes almost popped out.

Everyone saw that he was stubborn and had a disheveled dress. He still had the dirty traces of drinking and vomiting last night in front of his chest, which looked down and funny. Yesterday he drank too much and vomited, but he wanted to stick to the lottery shop to canvass for himself, but he found that his bed was gone. In desperation, he had to go to the post office next door, which was open all night. With his fair tongue and good popularity, he borrowed three chairs from the post office to put them together, and he lived in the post office lobby all night.

After dawn, he was awakened by a gangster who was sleeping soundly and told him that there was a new list at the door of the lottery store. After he saw it, he still didn't believe it, so he ran to the most formal listing notice at the door of the yamen.

After watching for a long time, Qi Yunlu clamped her hands into the shape of a chicken claw and bent and stretched out, and shouted to the sky: "This uncle in the capital, why did you miss a villain? Why didn't you buy my lottery? I'm also a Christian! God!"

Now the other four members of the Presbyterian Church have all won 25,000 lottery tickets. Together with the ones they bought before, Fan Linhui even won 30,000 lottery tickets, but Qi Yunlu still has 2,000 tickets, and was completely kicked out of the first tier.

Everyone likes to hear this kind of tragedy. Qi Yunlu wails to the sky, and with his popularity, everyone teases him:

"Because Xiao Qi, you don't need to be a member of parliament, you can just go to the newspaper."

"Xiao Qi, you can also open a gossip tabloid in the future and destroy the Longchuan Business Daily edited by Zheng."

"Xiao Qi, was it just you who flew to Beijing last night to buy it? I drank too much and forgot to buy my own?"

Seeing Qi Yunlu's face full of grief and anger, and repeatedly hitting the Xuanhuafang stone tablet with her head, Li Guangxi walked over and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad. This must be the one who bought the lottery according to your and my campaign statement in the Emperor's newspaper. You didn't write that you were from the Presbyterian Church, right?"

"Brother! What should we do if we agreed? You said that we will make up for my deficit first!" Qi Yunlu turned around and grabbed Li Guangxi.

Zhang Qijie waved his hand next to him and interrupted, "This is God's mercy on us! Don't worry, I keep my word, Xiao Qi rest assured!"

"Yes! Isn't it just two thousand? Don't worry!" Li Guangxi also smiled and patted the other party's back. Now he was in a very happy mood. Even if he directly asked him to give Qi Yunlu two thousand, maybe he would give it to him without caring.

Qi Yunlu was delighted, but then raised her face and looked at the red list with no sludge on her head. Her expression became bitter again. He punched the stone wall below and shouted, "Oh, God, why are you doing this to me!"

Fan Linhui's brother-in-law next to him is just an accountant. He is stingy and can't rub sand in his eyes. Seeing that Qi Yunlu was still unwilling to give up, he wiped his tears fiercely and shouted: "Who told you to run away yesterday? We didn't eat or sleep all night, you said you had diarrhea yesterday, but you ran out and didn't come back! What did you do? You vomited even when you drank, you deserve it!"

Qi Yunlu was stunned for a moment, and in full view of the crowd, she knelt on her knees, looked up at the list, crossed her hands and clenched her fists in front of her chest, and cried with tears in her face: "Lord, forgive me! I shouldn't have had a thief yesterday! I didn't insist on fasting and praying, it's right for you to punish me! Lord, I never dared to do it again! Forgive me!"

Hearing this sentence, Fan Linhui next to him raised his head from Dr. Li's chest, and with tears on his face, he closed his eyes and raised his arms and shouted: "Hallelujah! Thank God for promising us for our prayers!"

Zhang Qijie was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "God has helped us! We will win!"

Li Guangxi was stunned for a second time and suddenly realized that it was the time of war again. What else could be better for establishing his prestige than grace that fell from the sky and could not have imagined? He immediately followed Zhang Qijie and raised his arms and shouted: "The Chamber of Commerce will win! God stands on our side! Hallelujah!"

Following the other merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, the civilians who bought too many Chamber of Commerce lottery tickets and fasted with them, as well as their subordinates and admirers shouted: "Hallelujah!"

The "Hallelujah!" in front of Xuanhuafang rushed straight into the sky like a whirlwind.

The reporters also came back from the shock. After all, even the knowledgeable reporters were shocked by the big incident that dared to compete with Zhong Jialiang for 100,000 silver dollars. They immediately flocked to the chamber of commerce.

=========================================

Because such a big reversal occurred, and it happened after the Chamber of Commerce was desperate to fast, banned from sleep, and prayed that this was more and more than the first few days before, the Jedi reversal of 100,000 sweeping thousands of troops, and the crowd was shocked. The crowd was surrounded by more and more people. Seeing that the center of Sany Street had been blocked tightly and was blocked, they advised them to find a spacious place to talk. The four main generals of the Chamber of Commerce took the crowd to the larger Sany Square. They looked like honey, and the crowd was like bees. Half an hour later, Sany Square was covered with black heads.

"Mr. Zhang, who gave you 100,000 silver dollars? Do you know? Brothers from the Presbyterian Church?"

"Mr. Li, are you sure this is your prayer promise?"

"Boss Fan, I heard you were going to commit suicide yesterday. What do you think today?"

"Boss Wang, you are now the group with the least votes among the eight major King Kongs in Longchuan. There are only 27,700 votes. Are you considering continuing to increase your votes?"

The reporter rushed to the front and surrounded the Chamber of Commerce and asked endlessly.

The four of them held a bowl of porridge in their hands, drinking to replenish food and moisture. They were excited because of excessive fatigue and excessive excitement. Although they did not sleep all night, they still answered quickly and quickly, even more than usual.

Behind them, Fan Linhui's brother-in-law covered his stomach and vomited wildly: steamed dumplings, sesame cakes, eggs, and seafood porridge were beaten in his stomach and then all came out, just because he had never fasted and prayed before, and did not know how to eat too much solid food after fasting. When he was hungry, he drank three bowls of porridge, two cages of dumplings, and five eggs in one breath. After he wanted to eat full, he was shameless and helped him choose, shouting that the people would buy their own lottery tickets and help his brother-in-law become famous and win back five thousand. Although the idea was wonderful, he immediately vomited and vomited green after eating full, and was carried to Dr. Li's clinic.

=======================

At this time, Ou Xingsun, who led the police force out to maintain order, saw that his subordinates had done almost everything, took a loophole, squeezed to Zhang Qijie, Li Guangxi and others, and faced the group of reporters who kept rushing forward like a wolf pack with red eyes, the detective smiled and took out four lottery tickets of different colors from his pocket, and shouted: "Ou Xingsun, the acting director of Longchuan Bureau, will definitely win the Chamber of Commerce!"

Several reporters surrounded him and shouted, "Why can you win?"

Ou Xingsun narrowed his red eyes and shouted loudly: "We used to have a bully, county magistrate, mayor Liu Guojian, who was full of evil deeds, committed all kinds of evil, bullying men and women! I have already started a war of wits and courage with him. The four bosses of the Chamber of Commerce were deeply exploited and oppressed by him. I fought with Liu Guojian side by side! The four bosses of the Chamber of Commerce are all devout Christians. We not only have the protection of the national laws, but also God helps us..."

These words were thought out by Ou Xingsun when he went home and didn't sleep all night. The lottery was also the one who blackmailed Lao Lin, who stole the limelight, because the more he thought about it last night, the more something was wrong. It turned out that the group of unscrupulous reporters were just talking about lottery, just talking about chambers of commerce to win.

He doesn't understand the lottery, and he doesn't think he can't win, but if you don't follow the talks of those dogs, you can't enter the newspaper!

Learning from the pain, Ou Xingsun felt that he could not act recklessly. He had to talk about lottery and insisted that the Chamber of Commerce could win. Even if the other party used 100,000 yuan to smash them, they could not continue. Of course, he had to play with his credit on the way. This is the key.

Today he had his first experiment. Sure enough, seven or eight reporters gathered around him. It was not that he didn't feel energetic last night. Ou Xingsun was very proud. He waved the lottery and wanted to recite the ten thousand words of "Ou Xingsun Fighting the Ogre Liu Guojian and the Chamber of Commerce to memorize the ten thousand words "Ou Xingsun Fighting the Ogre Liu Guojian and the Chamber of Commerce Can Win Anyway" that he wrote and memorized all night and put it in the newspaper!

Just then, someone shouted: "The Democratic Party is here! I'm watching the list in Xuanhuafang!"

Immediately, the people and the reporters retreated from the Chamber of Commerce as if they were wafting. With a bang, they blocked the road in front of the yamen and surrounded the Democratic Party members who had come out in a hurry to read the list.

"Slow, slow, I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't you hope they will win?" Seeing the reporter in front of him, Ou Xingsun, who was left alone in the local area, waved the lottery ticket in surprise.

But no one paid attention to him. Now the chamber of commerce has the advantage again. Who will still pay attention to the guy who will win? It depends on what the Democratic Party says and whether Zhong Jialiang continues to invest large amounts of money.
Chapter completed!
