The next day in Guobei County, morning

Early in the morning, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and the wind said that the county government discovered the broken limbs.

As soon as the news came out, everyone began to ask about the details of the acquaintances around them who were working in the county office.

But no one can get any useful news all morning, such as "trunk" or "legs"?

Just after noon, the news that the body part of the county government was "trunk" suddenly emerged, and the news was rigorous, as if it was true. Just after many people began to believe the rumors, another news came again, and the part found was "legs"!

Guobei County, noon

The county yamen at this time

"Sir, the gambler is very cognitive. As soon as we finished talking to him, he said that he was busy recently and forgot to pay the magistrate's money. He gave 600 taels of principal and interest. I have brought it back. The person who spoke was the one who talked less, and he was the only one who was there today.

The magistrate sat on a high-back chair and replied, "Well, what are the odds between legs and torso now?" The magistrate's fingertips were gently tapping on the table beside him.

"By sir! Now the odds on the torso have reached 1 to 25, and the odds on the legs have reached 1 to 20." As soon as the captain finished speaking, the magistrate's hand stopped moving, and his fingertips were hanging in the air.

The magistrate pondered for a moment, his fingertips fell down again, and then hit the table again, and continued to instruct

"Go, find a larger wooden board, place one leg flat on the wooden board, and the other leg wrapped in a cloth alone and placed it vertically, covering the outside with a white cloth. Two letters locked it into the warehouse, and no one was allowed to open the white cloth and take care of it."

The headmaster asked, “Do you want to avoid others when carrying the delivery?”

"No need. Also, without the permission of my official, no one is allowed to open the white cloth covered on it. Go and do it."

The captain did not act immediately, but put the box in his hand on the table beside the magistrate and opened it.

Six hundred taels of silver, a lot of money.

The magistrate glanced at Yinzi, stroked the five hundred taels of silver twice in the air, and said, "I'll give him five hundred taels to him, and you'll give it to everyone."

The headmaster scratched his head, but walked forward, covered the lid, and carried the box back into his arms.

After the table was cleared, the magistrate continued to tap the table with his fingertips and said, "I heard that he often went to Qingyuan Building recently?"

"Yes, when I got the money today and was about to leave, he invited the senior official to come." The headmaster replied.

The magistrate's fingertips stopped and said, "Then you will see him later and tell him a story."

The official officer acted as if he was listening attentively and said, "Yes! Sir."

The magistrate said, "There is an old rabbit in the mountains and is about to die. The little rabbit asked him, how did you avoid the hunter's arrow?"

The captain was interested by this beginning and couldn't help but be curious about the following.

The magistrate glanced at the captain's appearance, raised a smile on his lips, and said

"The fattest ones I ate are dead." The magistrate's fingers began to tap the table again.

"Go, the gambler is not stupid, you are smart, it's a good thing." After hearing the magistrate's words, the captain tightened his whole body, responded to the promise, turned around and went out to complete the order issued by the magistrate.

After watching the captain's back disappear, the magistrate spoke again, "Let the people in the mansion take care of their mouths."

The old housekeeper next to him replied, and stepped down.

The silence in the main hall has returned to its original hall, and only the sound of clattering... is still echoing inside the room.

Guobei County, mutton wine shop, afternoon.

A drunkard was whispering to his companions, "It's the 'trunk'. The officer who carried the corpses in the county government was my friend. He told me that they saw their torso covered by white cloth, and under the supervision of the captain, they were locked into the warehouse by two officers."

"Really?" the companion didn't believe it.

"That's fake, that guy looks like a tent." The drinker said, and gestured at the size of his hand.

"Yes, high and vertical, and your legs are not that high." My companion thought about it, and no longer questioned.

"I'll tell you..."

Such conversations were everywhere in the restaurant, and the news about the torso became more and more serious. It seemed that the answer to the gambling game had been revealed.

Guobei County, evening

By night, the gambling market had changed.

At this time, the odds of "trunk" become one to two, and the odds of "leg" become one to thirty.

Although the person who suppresses the "trunk" is unwilling to give up, it is better than losing money.

But people who press their legs will feel different. In just one night, I don’t know how many sad people have appeared.

With the precedent of Mr. Wang and the gambler breaking out overnight, the young and old in Guobei County are very concerned about the result of the last bet, and everyone wants to be the next lucky one.

Many people made big moves this time, and even more so, they gave their all to try this illusory glory and wealth.

Since the betting period started, people have been constantly modifying the bets, and the gamblers have been troubled. So in order to facilitate the statistics of gambling funds, he made a special statement at the opening of the market this morning.

You can't place bets repeatedly, everyone has only one chance. It's up to you to decide whether it's delicious or spicy or a family is ruined.

It's hard to endure tonight, but the rumor is just a rumor. As long as the yamen has not posted a notice, the answer to this mystery has not been revealed.

The third day in Guobei County, early in the morning

Many people who have not been asleep for a night are waiting at the yamen at dawn, waiting to see today's notice.

It took a long time before a small yamen runner carrying a paste tube walked out of the county yamen with a yawn. Everyone around was staring at the roll of paper clamped on the little yamen runner's elbow.

The little yamen runner didn't say anything, rubbed his eyes, brushed the paste on his own, and posted a notice.

Dong!

The paste barrel fell to the ground, and half of the bucket of paste was spilled everywhere.

The little yamen runner woke up. When he saw the notice, the little yamen runner knew that his monthly money for a year was gone, three taels of silver.

The onlookers surrounded the little yamen runners and fell silent at the same time.

"It's the legs! It's the legs! The cheers cut through the tranquility.

The third day in Guobei County, morning
