Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1379 Hmm, Hmm, Hmm

   "Gentlemen persevere, while villains are fickle. Master Zhu, scholars of my generation are all gentlemen. You just said that Hu Yushi rode a donkey to the post, so you won't change your mind halfway through, right?!"

  After Ya's bet was completed, Zhang Chufeng beat Zhu Pingan again, lest Zhu Pingan change his mind temporarily.

   "Of course, I think Hu Yushi may have arrived late because he obeyed the ancestral system and rode a donkey."

  Zhu Ping'an nodded.

Hearing this, Zhang Chufeng smiled happily. It’s been 31 years since Jiajing, and the inspector censor broke the ancestral system and rode a horse for a hundred years. You still ride a donkey. I think you were kicked in the head by a donkey while riding a donkey. Alright. Hehe, this is the best way, Zhu Zihou, Zhu Zihou, I accept your gambling capital with a smile.

  Well, the money that Fatty Chu won last time was cut off by you in the name of "funding military equipment", so this time you will have to bleed!

   "Okay, a gentleman's words are hard to follow! Fatty Chu heard it, Lord Zhu bet on Hu Yushi to ride a donkey."

  Zhang Chufeng said to Chu Xiong impatiently.

   "Okay." Chu Xiong nodded, looked up at Zhu Ping'an and asked, "Brother Zhu, how much do you bet?"

   "Ahem, if you bet on a bet, it's a small gamble, and I only have it on me." Zhu Pingan coughed, and said honestly, while talking, he stretched his hand into his arms, as if taking out money.

   "Master Zhu, I would like to subsidize some money for your militia this time. Your bet is too small, but you can't take it away."

  Zhang Chufeng said quickly, and took out a heavy money bag from his sleeve, and threw it up and down.

"I only have the two silver notes that you sponsored me last time and my own fifty-two silver note." Zhu Pingan continued to speak while taking out two one-hundred-two silver notes from his pocket. And a silver note of fifty taels.

Zhang Chufeng's eyes straightened immediately, and he was overjoyed. Two hundred and fifty taels is really suitable for you. Two hundred and five, hehehe, you are really a two hundred and five. Thank God, today is such a good day. Then, without any hesitation, he took all three bank notes in Zhu Ping'an's hand and handed them to Chu Xiong without hesitation, "Okay, refreshing, Chu Xiong." Fatty took it, this is Master Zhu's bet."

  Chu Xiong was also happy to pretend to be confused, took Zhu Ping'an's silver handed over by Zhang Chufeng, put it in his official hat, and said with a smile, "Okay, little brother Zhu bet two hundred and fifty taels."

   "I mean I only have two hundred and fifty taels, no." Zhu Pingan smiled helplessly.

   "Oh, why didn't Master Zhu say it earlier, but it's too late." Zhang Chufeng shrugged.

   "Huh?! Well, let's do it like this." Zhu Pingan smiled wryly.

"Hehe, Master Zhu placed a bet of two hundred and fifty taels, and I can't afford to lose it. I bet all my money. Remember Fatty Chu, Master Zhu bet on Hu Yushi riding a donkey to take up his post. I ordered Hu Yushi to come to the post on horseback, don't make a mistake." Zhang Chufeng threw his purse to Chuxiong and emphasized again.

  Chu Xiong took Zhang Chufeng's money bag, counted it, "Okay, Brother Zhang bet one hundred and fifteen taels of silver."

   "Hey, brother Zhuo, do you want to participate?!" After Chu Xiong received Zhang Chufeng's money, he bumped Zhuo Yan who came closer with his shoulder.

  Zhuo Yan nodded with a paralyzed face, took out a fifty-two silver note from his sleeve, threw it into the Chuxiong official hat, and said concisely, "There is only this one. Hu Yushi came to take up his post on horseback."

   "Ahem, why don't you just ride a horse, Brother Zhuo doesn't think about it, you know the ancestral system."

  Seeing that Zhuo Yan also placed a bet on Hu Zongxian riding a horse to take up his post, Chu Xiong couldn't help but blinked his small eyes and said foolishly.

   Zhuo Yan rolled his eyes, and asked with a paralyzed face, "What do you bet?"

   "That's right, Fatty Chu, what are you betting on?! Betting on geometry?!" Zhang Chufeng followed up and asked.

Chu Xiong had a chubby face with a wonderful expression, coughed, and said solemnly, "Ahem, I didn't think too much about betting, the main reason is to support the team training of little brother Zhu, so I can only bet on Zhu The opposite of the little brother. Well, I don’t have much money on me, so I’ll only pay one hundred and fifty taels.”

  Hearing this, Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan rolled their eyes at Chu Xiong and cursed, "Shameless!"

  Next, Chu Xiong took advantage of his long-sleeved and good dance skills, went to a few Yamen friends he was acquainted with, wandered around, and drew three more people into the game, betting 20 taels, 30 taels, and 50 taels respectively.

  Actually, with Chu Xiong's social circle, he could have drawn more people into the game, but it was not enough for him to come back after drawing these three people.

   "Fatty Chu, why don't you go get some more?! Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Industry, and Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Households, and" Zhang Chufeng asked suspiciously when he saw that Chu Xiong had returned so soon.

   Zhuo Yan also looked at Chu Xiong suspiciously. In the past, how could Chuxiong have drawn eight or nine more people for their kind of elegant bet, but why did he come back after drawing three more? ! This is not Chuxiong's style.

"You know what a fart, these people all bet on Hu Yushi to come on horseback, only little brother Zhu bet on Hu Yushi to come on donkey. There are too many monks and less meat, how will they be divided?! We have to seal the game ahead of time. .”

  Hearing Zhang Chufeng's question, Chu Xiong couldn't help answering with a face full of pain.

   "Yes, close the disk, it must be closed."

  Hearing this, Zhang Chufeng nodded repeatedly. That's right, Zhu Ping'an was the only one who bet on Hu Yushi riding a donkey in this game, and everyone else bet on Hu Yushi riding a horse. Zhu Ping'an bet 250 taels of silver for the 250 taels. The most they can win is the 250 taels of silver. Naturally, the smaller the number of people, the more points they will get. Fatty Chu did the right thing and must seal the deal.

  Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth regretfully, what kind of plate should be sealed, the more people the better.

  After the plate was closed, after waiting for another cup of tea, I saw a scouting horse galloping along the official road.

   "Report, the new Zhejiang inspector censor will arrive soon." Tan Ma stopped in front of the long pavilion and reported.

   A group of officials moved immediately, arranged their clothes, cheered up, and prepared to welcome Hu Zongxian's arrival.

   After visiting the horse to report, it was time for a cup of tea before seeing a group of people appearing on the official road.

  The speed of Hu Yushi and his party is a bit slow? !

   All the officials thought to themselves that it was time to replace Hu Yushi with a good horse. The horse Hu Yushi was riding was a bit slow.

  As Hu Yushi and his party slowly approached, people couldn't help squinting their eyes. The horse that Hu Yushi was riding seemed a little short? !

   "uh ang huh ang.uh huh ang"

   At this moment, a penetrating donkey bray reached the ears of the officials waiting in the Changting Pavilion.

   "Donkey?!" All the officials were stunned.

  Chu Xiong, Zhang Chufeng and the others heard the donkey braying from the official road, and their complexions turned pale, as if mourning
