Chapter 94: Rather Generous

As the scholars were hoping for their names to appear on the roll stones, they were also guessing the top three in this time's theory examination.

As someone who had just been transferred to the River of Trust Capital, Su Jiu naturally wouldn't give up such a good opportunity to make money. Hence, early in the morning, he brought a few other boy servants to lay out tables not too far away from the capital office.

”Guess the roll champion, or the top three, the pay-out is high!” Su Jiu called out with great energy.

A group of scholars on the other hand surrounded the table, and incessantly fished out their money.

Fang Zhengzhi was a punctual person, but he wasn't someone who liked to wait mindlessly in front of the roll stone. Hence, only now did he walk over shoulder to shoulder with Yan Xiu.

As he passed by the betting table, he also heard Su Jiu's shouts.

Thinking that Su Jiu was after all an acquaintance, he believed that he should still go and greet him. Furthermore, he also wanted to see whether there was anybody wise enough to bet on him attaining Roll Champion.

”Let me go take a look!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu.

”Alright.” Yan Xiu nodded, turned around and followed Fang Zhengzhi towards the betting table.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't expect Yan Xiu to have such an interest, and was rather taken aback. But, he quickly understood. He heard that rich people always had a habit of gambling.

Yan Xiu was rich.

But, even if he wasn't obsessed, he definitely wouldn't be too conservative in such an area.

Yan Xiu's appearance naturally caused the surrounding scholars to part ways very consciously. Fang Zhengzhi was satisfied at such an outcome, the feeling was just like shooting a high-pressure water gun around.

As Su Jiu called out to collect money, he realised that the scholars in front of the table had dispersed, and thought whether the government had come to raid?

Raising his head, he realised it was Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.

”Ah, it's Young Master Fang, ha ha…” Su Jiu instantly began to laugh, but quickly placed his hand at an area on the betting table.

Fang Zhengzhi was also smiling.

Because, he had already seen clearly the words on the table in front of Su Jiu. And where Su Jiu covered with his hands, was exactly where his name was.

Other than that, more than ten names were densely written on the table.

Below, pay-outs of all kinds were listed below them.

Among them, Zhang Hetong's Roll Champion payout was the lowest, yet the amount of people who betted that was the most. Next was Hua Kangan, the pay-out was more or less similar to Zhang Hetong. After them, were a few other random people.

Tang Yulong, and even Cai Yongfeng's name were all listed under Roll Champion.

”Can I bet on myself?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled

”Ha ha… Young Master Fang, can you come with me?” Su Jiu reached out his other hand, and signalled to Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi nodded, turned out and walked in the direction Su Jiu was pointing to.

Not too long later, the three people arrived under a tree.

”Young Master Fang, my master had said that as long as you bet on yourself in attaining Roll Champion, no matter how much you buy, we will pay double on the spot!” Su Jiu smiled happily.

”I only wish to know, why is Second-Class Roll below my name? And, the pay-out is so low?” Fang Zhengzhi didn't directly reply Su Jiu's question.

”Seems like Young Master Fang had seen it, ha ha… this is to earn money, I hope Young Master Fang won't blame me! After all, we have to adapt to the cries of the crowd.” Su Jiu smiled apologetically.

”Ah, nobody bet that I would enter the First-Class Roll?” Fang Zhengzhi didn't press Su Jiu further.

”Nobody!” Fang Zhengzhi said confidently, then, seemed to have thought of something. ”But, there is one person who bet that Young Master Fang would be Roll Champion! I initially thought that you sent someone to bet, but now it seems like… it isn't!”

”Someone betted that I would be Roll Champion?” Fang Zhengzhi gazed suspiciously at Yan Xiu, who was standing beside him with a cold expression.
