Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The lottery sales were exceptionally hot, far exceeding Fang Zheng Yi's expectations.

In half a month, they sold over ten thousand taels of silver! It was common for one person to buy five, six, seven, or eight tickets.

Many young masters weren't short of money, often tossing over a silver ingot and saying, "Buy it all!"

Through word of mouth among the common people, the information spread extremely quickly, after all, for only fifty Wen, one could gamble for a grand prize of two thousand taels!

If one succeeded even once, an ordinary person wouldn't need to work hard for the rest of their life, they could just lie down at home.

But unfortunately, most of those who coveted it weren't qualified to buy the Zhuangyuan tickets.

With Fang Zheng Yi's deliberate guidance, the Zhuangyuan tickets also became lottery tickets that only scholars and wealthy people could buy, making the common people envious.

However, the presence of Zhuangyuan ticket sales outlets in Banshan Ward and its surroundings attracted many nobles from the inner city.

For a time, the number of people in the ward increased greatly, and many small vendors also earned extra money because of this.

All the silver had now been gathered into Fang Zheng Yi's hands.

Looking at the pure white silver that had been exchanged, Fang Zheng Yi couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

If the lottery price were lowered and opened to everyone, it probably wouldn't be a mere ten thousand taels now.

Multiplying it several times would be normal, but unfortunately, my Fang Zheng Yi's sense of morality is too strong... Alas.

..........

Finally, on this evening.

The Banshan Ward's favorite bonfire party began, but this time it was different from usual.

There were an unusually large number of people in the square, and most of them looked like scholars, constantly fanning themselves with folding fans.

Many common people wearing patched clothes felt a little inferior, and the crowd gradually split into two groups.

One side was dressed noticeably better than the other, but the square was only so big, so they inevitably had to squeeze together.

Fang Zheng Yi and Li Yuan Zhao arrived a little late and could only squeeze in the back helplessly.

But it didn't matter, they were just there to watch the fun, there was no need to take a shortcut to the front.

Anyway, there were so many people in the square, which was enough to show the influence of the Zhuangyuan tickets.

Moreover, both of them were taller than ordinary people, so they could see the scene on the stage even standing in the back.

Just as they were waiting for the lottery draw, Fang Zheng Yi faintly heard someone beside him say: "I won five taels in the lottery before, which shows that my luck is good, this time there are two thousand taels, hehe."

Hearing the voice, Fang Zheng Yi felt a little familiar, turned his head to look, and smiled.

Isn't this my third uncle?

Three old men didn't squeeze in, stretching their necks and trying to look inside.

Fang Zheng Yi sneaked over, walked behind Zhang Dong Xiang, and said with a smile: "Are the three uncles here to draw the lottery?"

When the three saw that it was Fang Zheng Yi, their three old faces immediately fell, and then they turned to leave.

Fang Zheng Yi quickly grabbed them: "Hey, don't go, you're already here!"

"Thank you for your support, seniors!"

Zhang Dong Xiang flicked his sleeves: "Hmph! All you do all day long is play with these strange and ingenious tricks, what a disgrace!"

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and said: "Lord Zhang is right, this thing... even Yan Guoan wouldn't buy it!"

The three old men's faces turned red, they clenched their Zhuangyuan tickets, and put their hands behind their backs.

Li Yan Song smiled wryly and shook his head: "Little Fang, you are still young, Yan Guoan's family has a big business, don't offend him too much, there are some people you can't afford to offend..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are my dear uncle!"

"You!....."

Li Yan Song glared fiercely, pointed at Fang Zheng Yi and then dropped his hand dejectedly.

This shameless thing, really takes advantage of every opportunity! He can randomly recognize relatives, who exactly taught him this!?

The three of them didn't speak, looking at Fang Zheng Yi with unfriendly expressions.

"Where is...Young Master Li?" Zheng Qiao suddenly asked.

Fang Zheng Yi turned his head to look, Li Yuan Zhao was not far away, watching people fight with great interest.

He pointed casually: "There."

"Good...It's good that Young Master Li is safe, don't cause any more trouble for this old man!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The last time the crown prince had an accident, it really scared the three of them.

There is only this one crown prince, although he is not very human, he cannot be without!

"Don't worry, Uncle."

"Little Fang...Lord Fang, I beg you not to call me that! This old man still wants his old face!" Li Yan Song closed his eyes in pain.

Fang Zheng Yi teased: "Ah! Lord Li is amazing, noble! Ashamed to be with my second and third uncles, right!"

The three old men turned around and stopped talking.

Unreasonable, there's no way to communicate!

At this time, it was almost time for the lottery draw, and the crowd under the stage was restless...

The host showed his head from behind the stage, secretly looking at the crowd, feeling a little flustered.

Logically speaking, his experience on stage was already very rich, but now there were too many people, which had exceeded his ability to bear it.

What if something went wrong later... wouldn't he die here....

Seeing that the lottery machine had been moved to the stage, and the lottery personnel and the notaries drawn from the street were in place.

The host tidied up his clothes, took a few deep breaths, and went on stage with the loudspeaker.

Before he even stood still on the stage, the crowd had already roared.

"Draw the lottery! Draw the lottery! Draw the lottery!"

Damn, there are too many people... and there are many familiar faces...

The host勉强勉强 smiled: "Everyone, don't worry! The lottery will be drawn immediately, so where will the huge prize of two thousand taels fall...."

"Hurry up and open it, damn it! Stop talking nonsense!"

"You kid talk too much, I've wanted to chop you for a long time!"

"Pa ta." A stone fell at the host's feet.

The host's eyes twitched, and then he unhesitatingly kicked away the lottery personnel and took over the lottery lever and began to shake it.

He shouted: "The lottery is open! The lottery is open! Open it now! Open the red ball first!"

A group of villains below were satisfied.

As the lottery machine continued to shake, the first ball came out of the chute.

The host glanced at it and shouted: "The first number, eight!"

The action in his mouth didn't stop, and before the people below had time to look, the host had already shouted the second time: "The second number, seventeen!"

There was a huge wooden board on the stage, and every time a number ball came out, someone would write the number on the board for people to watch.

"Slow down, damn it! Are you in a hurry to be reborn!"

Fang Zheng Yi finally couldn't help but roar, so angry that his veins were exposed, damn it, how could this host not have any professional qualities.

Atmosphere! Build it up! Expectation!

Good fellow, he came up and drew the lottery, without a word of nonsense, the program effect was completely ruined!

Watching the host shake the lottery machine like a mad dog, Fang Zheng Yi began to speak eloquently behind the crowd, with extremely high mother content.

The three old men covered their faces when they heard it.

Pure hooliganism, this is... how could such a person be an official?

Soon, the lottery machine containing the red balls had selected six balls, and the host breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the crowd below checking the numbers.

At this time, he also realized that the rhythm was a bit too fast, and quickly saved the situation: "Okay, everyone, compare the numbers first,"

"We are about to conduct the final number lottery!"

Then he slowly walked towards the lottery machine containing the blue balls and slowly shook it.

Small balls jumped in the lottery machine, teasing everyone's mood.

Everyone stared at the lottery machine with bated breath.

The host felt that it was almost time, and lightly stepped on the mechanism under the lottery machine, the chute baffle was pulled open, and a blue ball slowly rolled out.

"The last number, three!"

"The lottery draw is over! All winning friends can go to the lottery collection point in the square within three days to collect the prize, otherwise it will be invalid!"
