Chapter 219
The main store of Fuguiqiao Guanpu Store is located on Panlou Street. It is a large store covering an area of ​​about five acres. It is not far from the old Caomen, only about two miles away.

Hundreds of indignant gamblers rushed to the main store on Panlou Street soon, and the front of the main store was also crowded with gamblers who came to claim their prizes.

After Feng Jing and Fan Ning took the second place in Jinshi and the first place in the Children's Section of the Central Provincial Examination respectively, the number of gamblers who bet on them increased greatly, and of course, their pure numbers also dropped greatly.

Fanning's pure number becomes a pure number, and he can only win two consistent money when he bets a consistent amount.

Even so, many people still won money, at least doubling their bets.

When hundreds of gamblers from the old Caomen Fuguiqiao Guanpu store rushed to the main store on Panlou Street, there was a sudden chaos in front of the gate, shouting and cursing one after another, and some people threw stones at the store signboard.

Zhang Yaocheng, the owner of Fuguiqiao Guanpu Store, was in the main store at this time.

There are three brothers in the Zhang family, the elder brother is Zhang Yaozuo, the second is Zhang Yaofeng, and the third is Zhang Yaocheng.

The emperor's favorite Concubine Zhang Gui is actually the second daughter of the second eldest Zhang Yaofeng. Because Zhang Yaofeng died early, Zhang Guifei was raised by Zhang Yaozuo and regarded as her own. Concubine Zhang Guifei also called Zhang Yaozuo her father.

Concubine Zhang was favored by her family, and the Zhang family naturally ascended to heaven. Not only was her biological father posthumously crowned King of Qinghe County, but Zhang Yaozuo was also named Duke of the County and Taiwei, holding the power of the three divisions.

Zhang Yaocheng was also named the governor of Weizhou and the county uncle of Handan. He was particularly greedy for wealth, so relying on the support of his family, he opened Fuguiqiao Guanpu Store in the capital, and his wealth has been booming ever since.

Zhang Yaocheng was originally just a farmer with a very small family spirit. In his opinion, opening and closing stores can only make money, and must not lose money.

So when he heard that the old Caomen Guanpu store would pay more than 1 taels of silver, Zhang Yaocheng, who became angry from embarrassment, immediately made two decisions.

The first decision was to close the old Caomen Guanpu store, and the second was to fire the shopkeeper who was in charge of this matter. All of them had only one purpose, never admitting that it would cause him to lose 1 silver for the three tickets Guanpu bet.

At this time, a shopkeeper ran in and whispered: "Proprietor, there are quite a few gamblers from the old Caomen shop here, and they are making trouble outside!"

Zhang Yaocheng also heard the yelling and cursing outside, he frowned and asked, "How many people are there?"

"About 300 people?"

Zhang Yaocheng also had to consider the reputation of Guanpu Store, so he walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "Claim the prize for them, and the single ticket is only limited to 200 taels of silver. If it exceeds this amount, I must approve it. In addition, the three tickets must be paid attention to." It is a counterfeit ticket, and it is not allowed to admit it at all, you know?"

"I understand, let's arrange it!"

The shopkeeper hurried away.

Zhang Yaocheng breathed a sigh of relief, if he survived today, there should be no problem.

. . . . . . .

With repeated guarantees from the big shopkeeper, the gamblers from the old Caomen Guanpu store finally calmed down and formed a long queue to exchange.

Ming Ren pulled Fan Ning aside and said in a low voice, "Guanpu shop agreed to exchange it, should we exchange it?"

Fan Ning sneered, "Don't be stupid, if they are willing to exchange now, there is no need to close the old Caomen shop."

"Then what should we do?" Mingren's heart hung up again.

"Listen to me, you go and exchange Su Liang's small winning ticket!"

"You mean, leave the evidence first?" Ming Ren had a flexible mind and a very quick reaction.

Fan Ning nodded, and Ming Ren immediately said with a smile: "You are a new scholar, it's not easy to come forward, I will take care of this matter!"

He turned around and got into the queue. Not long after, he came out with a bag of silver and a cashed stub to Fanning.

Fan Ning took the receipt, which was the receipt given to him by Su Liang, but it was stamped with a cashed stamp, and the attention was over.

"How is it? Are you happy?" Fanning asked with a smile.

"The payment was very happy, and I didn't ask anything. It is said that it is easy to handle if it is less than 200 taels. Just now, there is a 350 taels bill. It said that it needs special verification, but it has been delayed."

At this time, Fan Ning turned around and waved, Mingren was startled, there was no one behind!Who is this calling?

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and Xu Qing appeared in front of Fan Ning. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The little official is looking for me?"

Fan Ning smiled and said: "You guard Ming Ren, he is going to pay the big bill, be careful not to let the other party snatch the bill away."

"I know!" Xu Qing had no choice but to agree when he was temporarily arrested.

With a bodyguard by his side, Mingren immediately became confident, he squeezed into the counter, and shouted loudly: "My side is Fan Ning, No. 1 of Wuchun Betting Tongzike, and I bet a total of 200 bets for [-] taels of silver. "

There was a sudden silence in the shop, just kidding, 3000 two hundred taels of silver.

The shopkeeper's face twitched, and the proprietor was most worried about it.

A slip was handed to him, but Mingren didn't intend to give it to him. Mingren pointed to the thick record book next to him, "I bought it at the old Cao store. The shopkeeper can look at the record."

Seeing him holding the list tightly, the shopkeeper understood the other party's worry in his heart. He sneered and said, "Don't look at it, I know very well that the old Cao store has never sold such a list."

"You mean to say that my list is fake?"

"Our Fuguiqiao Guanpu store has always attached great importance to reputation, we will not renege on the orders we sell, but if you want to take advantage of the closure of the old Caomen store to fish in troubled waters, let me tell you, we will never spare this kind of person! "

The shopkeeper stood up and shouted: "There is a liar, arrest him and see the officer!"

He quickly winked at the three clerks behind him, and the three clerks rushed forward. The proprietor had explained in advance that the best solution was to snatch back the betting slip.

The shopkeeper has already prepared a fake betting slip. Once the betting slip is retrieved, he immediately replaces the other party's slip and then makes it public. Guanpudian can also gain the upper hand and keep its reputation.

But before the three guys caught Ming Ren, they stumbled and bumped into each other as if they were drunk.

Mingren turned around and left. Before the shopkeeper could react, he had squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

. . . . . . . .
Half an hour later, Fan Ning appeared outside the government office in Kaifeng.

He waited for a while, and a litigator came out of the official office in a hurry, clasped his fists at Fan Ning and said, "I've found out clearly, Bao Shaoyin usually comes to the official office in the afternoon."

"Thank you, let's study the case at noon, and we'll file the lawsuit again in the afternoon."

The litigator, surnamed Guo, was well-known in the capital. He usually took on big cases, one lawsuit was ten taels of silver, and Fan Ning promised him that if he won the lawsuit, he would be rewarded another 50 taels of silver.

Under the lure of high profits, Guo Lianshi gladly took over the case.

Bao Zheng is currently serving as the Shao Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion. His current official positions are the Tianzhang Pavilion Waiting System and the Zhijianyuan, which is also the chief officer of the Jianyuan. It was only then that Bao Zheng was recommended as the Shao Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion, so that he could see the problems at the bottom of the Song Dynasty more deeply and extensively.

Of course, part-time jobs generally don't last too long, as short as one or two months, and as long as half a year.

Fan Ning decided to fight this lawsuit precisely because of Bao Zheng's appointment as the Minister of Kaifeng.

In the afternoon, Bao Zheng came to the official office of Kaifeng Mansion in a sedan chair as usual. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the official office, someone shouted: "Bao Shibo!"

The voice sounded familiar, Bao Zheng raised the curtain of the sedan chair, and saw Fan Ning standing a dozen steps away waving to him.

Bao Zheng laughed immediately, and ordered: "Stop the sedan chair!"

When the sedan chair landed, Bao Zheng stepped out of the sedan chair, and smiled to Fan Ning who was walking towards him, "Congratulations first, you have won the Jinshi examination, you are the first in the children's department, not bad! It is indeed encouraging."

Fan Ning bowed and said, "Thank you Uncle Shi for feeling that my nephew is far from enough, and I will look forward to Uncle Shi's support in the future!"

Bao Zheng nodded, he knew that Fan Ning must have something to do when he came to the government office to find him, so he said with a smile: "Go and sit inside!"
