Chapter forty-six, the Conclave

Jinran Fund, which did not exist before, was set up last night after Lu ran labored mightily and drank three bowls of water. This fund, at present, is only a small silver number which has just applied for the business license from the Department of Civil Affairs and Commerce. It does not yet have all the functions of the silver number, but when applying yesterday, it was specially registered for public welfare gambling and lotteries.

Commonweal gambling is a common kind of gambling in Fufeng country. It aims to improve the gambling atmosphere, promote the concept of martial arts, and properly fund the commonweal charity. In all kinds of martial arts training related to the election, auction, martial arts and other activities common.

In the past two days, several casinos, casinos and banks, including Yan's Bank, have applied to the Department of Commerce of the Civil Affairs Department, but all of them were rejected by the Department of Commerce on the grounds that it was "still studying the feasibility of developing public welfare betting in this event" . Then, last night the Ministry of Commerce "discussed" the result, is feasible.

Just as it happened, until last night, Lu ran and his wife and all the other brothers of the civil affairs hall, as well as Huang Zheng, the owner of Dong's shop, Chai Xiaolong, Chai Qingshan's nephew, and Pang, the director of the Logistics Department of the Liu Shui Sect, who was on his way to deliver money to Lu ran, and funded the establishment of the "Jinran Fund" and send a letter of application, the Ministry of Commerce naturally approved.

See, everything is so smooth and reasonable.

"Jin ran fund? " A steamed stuffed bun shop owner holding a leaflet in his hand, touched his head: "never heard of it? "

"Yes, I've only heard of a few gambling houses and silver numbers. Why is this year's dealer a fund? "

"Who cares? All bookies are the same. We just bet. "

"Yes, that's right. Why is there a portrait of the chairman of the civil affairs on the leaflet of Jinran Foundation? "

"Oh, there's one in the corner. Good boy, 'civil affairs chief character guarantee' , that's reliable! "

"since it was Lu Tang who vouched for it, what's to worry about? Let's go. Let's go and make some bets! "

......

After everyone a brew, a fermentation, many of the district love gamblers have come, have to the lower left corner of the North district place bets.

The bets were placed under the auditorium, which they had rigged up at dawn this morning. There are desks for collecting money, a record desk for registering bets, and a large "leisure area" for guests to brag, cool off and drink tea.

All of this, of course, was Lu ran's idea. Well, he was a modern man in a past life? Every day by all kinds of marketing means of hocus-pocus, over time is a fool also learn a bit.

"I'll buy a hundred taels from the master of the South Palace. "

Ge Fei saw a lot of people gradually close over, quickly stood up, holding a bag of silver to the table a hit.

"This customer, after deducting the 12-ticket fee, your bet is only 90 taels. Do you want to add another 10 taels to make up the whole amount? "

"Oh, I see. Well, then add ten taels! "

"ALL RIGHT! "

Su Accounting received money, so that a side of the ticket clerk, ask the bet, bet on the object, bet on the amount and venue.

Once the play was over, many people in the neighborhood who had no confidence in the game suddenly had nothing to tangle, and took out their wallets to bet. It's called following the crowd. One man leads, a thousand follow.

"I bet on Nangong, same as last year! A HUNDRED TAELS! "

"I don't believe in this evil. This year I will buy a stone master, and I will pay 100 taels. "

"What is there to see in the first game? Of course it's the second game. I bet on the first beauty of Huaizhou city! THREE HUNDRED TAELS! "

"Idiot, Prince Shi came back from the White Dragon City two days ago, he has already got the qualification of Wu Zong. Do you think that girl can still fight? I'll buy Prince Shi to win, 200 TAELS! "

......

"Wait your turn. Place your bets. Place your bets! There's still time! "

......

Leisure area, looking at the crowd so warm, looking at the silver and a silver ticket brush came in, Lu ran and Huang Zheng and others smiled open mouth. When it comes to making money, this is a quick way to do it.

Of course, they are all kind-hearted people, and the main reason for doing so is to promote the spirit of martial arts, raise awareness of martial arts training among the general public, and mobilize the enthusiasm of the people. It's also about getting people to spend less time in casinos and more time contributing to local poverty alleviation programs. That's a lot of love.

Ding-dong! ding-dong. Ding-dong...

A succession of bells began to ring, and important members of the Council of the Criminal Temple began to appear one by one today. The first one to come was elder Kang, one of the council's legal elders. Elder Kang is special. He is not a clan member, but a member of the Kang family who manages cloth. He is well-versed in law and is a member of Huaizhou city Bar Association.

Then came one of the six elders, Ren Laowu, who was in charge of Zongmen hospital and Dan Yaotang, with superb medical skills. His position on the Council of the Criminal Court was that of medical elder, and according to the results of this examination, he had to beat another skillful elder of the Wu Du men in the examination given by Chai Qingshan, president of the Medical Association, in order to keep his position.

After that came the law-enforcement elders, the criminal elders, the pickets, the law-enforcement leaders, the criminal judges, and so on.

Dang! Dang! Dang! The bell rang again, and the crowd cheered.

This time, the characters are on a different stage!

"Good Master Shi! "

"MASTER SHEK IS MIGHTY! I bet on you! "

"SPIRIT OF VICE PRESIDENT! Good Wavin' Flag! "

......

Then, the South Temple Ming also came, the same sound a piece.

"GO FOR IT, Master! The students of Intermediate Class 9 like you! "

"brother Nangong, long time no see. Looking good. "

"Master of the South Palace, Master Huaizhou, unify the rivers and lakes! "

......

Knock, knock, knock! After the Bell, the drum roll!

As the last appearance of the two high men, Tangut Master Tangut and Xuanling religion to the emissaries live up to expectations, indeed after the two masters appeared in everyone's field of vision. In spite of the flatness of their faces, the lack of squinting and the deafness of their ears, it did not affect the eager cheer of the vast audience.

Strength, THAT'S STRENGTH! Really strong, dare to ignore the noise of shouting, dare to ignore the eager worship!

Soon the cheer died down a little. Lord Ouyang went to the North district referee's box and spoke with a megaphone that resembled a small bronze bell.

"distinguished guests, distinguished elders, masters, judges... ". ... Presidents ...... My fellow citizens... Welcome to today's election to the board of directors of the Huaizhou City Criminal Hall, on behalf of ...... Thank you! Next, please welcome Master Tan from the White Dragon City Tianjianzong to make a congratulatory speech! Welcome, everyone! ...... Well, master Tan has a bad voice, so let's not give him a hard time? ...... To the emissary throat is not good, then please the previous council president Nangong Ming Master speech, we welcome... .. ."

Namgung-myeong took the stage, said a few words briefly and went on. Then Shi Zhentong also came on stage to speak a few words, and then it was you who participated in the election elders, captains, and so on, all gave speeches one by one.

Time, moment by moment. By noon, the crowd had quieted down, occasionally telling a joke, telling a joke, or talking about the lottery results on a large billboard next to the judges'bench, and stopping by Jinran's Fund to place a bet.

There is no way, although a number of experts, including the candidates themselves, are also eager to get to the point of the conference as early as possible, we can play or take the test as early as possible, go home to eat porridge watermelon, after all, hot. However, this is Huaizhou city most grand activities, the scene to all walks of life important people, the scene must be enough.

"thank you very much for captain Wang's speech. " Ouyang's voice was a little hoarse, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, but still very active: "below, I announce, the first flowing water zong Zhang Nangong Ming and five poisons Zhang Shi Zhentong duel, hold formally after lunch! "

This time, it's Commissioner Pang's turn. The lunch service for the election meeting is also done through the form of investment promotion. It's not that Lu ran took special care of it, but that the Smash has taken over the city since it was last modified.

At present, in addition to the five poison doors in order to maintain face, still insist on using their own canteen supply, and lose money on the big fish and big meat, other government departments of the canteen were also expanded by the external team of the Shuizong contract.

As early as the day before yesterday, Commissioner Pang's team had already won the approval of the Ministry of Commerce and had become the sole lunch supplier for the election conference.

When Ouyang City master announced into the lunch time, everyone this just recovered a little color from listlessness, eagerly waiting for the waiter to send up the rice.

This, again is a box of reform measures that Lu ran suggested, let's call it humanized service. The first time I mentioned it to Commissioner Pang, she almost laughed her head off -- "sending food to the dormitory? To the school? " But now it seems that, the cost of everything is recovered in higher prices for the service, and more money is made.

As for the cost of the meal for this election meeting, the ultimate organizer, Huaizhou city government, will pay from the income of the seat tickets. Therefore, Lu ran has also made a lot of money. After all, he owns the rights to the meat and soul meal, and as long as Commissioner Pang continues to serve it, he can sit and collect the money.

After dinner, at a later time. What should have been told, what should have been heard, and what had been eaten, and what had been drunk, the business at last began. The crowd roared back, and the two protagonists of one of this year's most anticipated duels, in the temporary martial arts arena, had emerged!

"namgung-myeong, how about this year, or so confident? "

Regardless of the chaos around the screams, stone into the South Palace toward the arch of the hand, eyes hidden evil. Up to now, he and Nangong Ming are very old rivals, from 13 years ago, both young and handsome generation as the head, has been in the council on the post of President of the contest.

This 13 years, the South Palace Ming repair for a heavy, stone access in recent years although not to the Bailong city examination qualifications, but in fact there are two levels. But perhaps as to the Messenger that day, because of the weak Zongmen Gong method gap, he has been Nangong Ming defeated.

Nangong Ming also politely raised his hand, look as confident as ever: "That is. No accident, this year 30 tricks are not used, you can kick to the field outside. "

He's not bluffing. Judging from the confrontation between them in the past years, in recent years, Nangong Ming's understanding of "flowing water kung fu" seems to be deeper, more skilled, hand-in-hand to change. But Shi's flexibility remains the same, apparently to a bottleneck, and he is losing faster and faster.

"Humph, Nangong Ming, 30 years of River East 30 years of River West, this sentence you first remember. " Stone Jin Tong also sharp-edged, said to walk to the center of the military field.

Nangong Ming to his words a little surprised, but also not how on the heart, just as a not convinced malicious words. After reining in his mind, he also picked up his pace and walked to the center of the martial arts field.
