I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 190 Chapter 3

"We're sure. You can open the market. What are the odds and how much money can be bet at one time?" Xu Qingyi answered without hesitation.

Seeing this, the manager said nothing more. He turned and walked into the back hall of the gambling house to ask his superiors. After a while, he came back with a strange smile on his face.

"Well, since you insist, let's open the betting. But I have to tell you that the odds of this betting are 10 to 1, which means that if you win, you will get a tenfold return on your bet; but if you lose, you will lose all your bets.

The maximum you can bet is one hundred taels of silver." The manager said as he wrote down the opening information on the gambling board.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan looked at each other. After Xu Qingyi nodded to Bai Yan, they each took out a bet of one hundred taels of silver and placed it on the counter.

"Girls, take this note. If you win the bet in the future, come and collect your money with this note. We only recognize notes, not people." At this time, the manager collected the money from Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, and gave them notes.

"Okay, we understand."

"A new betting odds are opened. Bet that Cui Liang cannot enter the second round. The odds are ten to one." The manager immediately placed the new betting odds, which caused a lot of discussion among the people.

"Who asked to open this betting? Didn't they see who Cui Liangcui is? He can't enter the second round? Is this possible?"

"That's right. Doctor Cui made it into the top ten in the last medical competition. Even if there are many strong people in this medical competition, if he can't make it into the top ten, can he still not enter the second round?"

"This is simply giving money to the casino. Who has too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

"This is the bet with the highest odds. What if I win?"

There were many discussions, and it was obvious that no one was optimistic about this newly opened gambling. However, since the gambling was opened, there were always people willing to give it a try. After all, with a 10-to-1 odds, if you win, it is a chance to get rich overnight.

"I bet Cui Liang can't enter the second round!" A man in coarse cloth shouted loudly, and then threw out five taels of silver. The man was the person Xu Qingyi was asking.

I don't know why that guy was so sure that Cui Liang would not be able to enter the second round.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him, as if they were all waiting for a good show to begin. The man didn't care, and crossed his arms across his chest, looking very confident.

"The odds are ten to one. If you win, that would be fifty taels of silver." Someone nearby joked.

"Humph, what I'm betting is not money, but vision!" The man snorted disdainfully. He was originally hesitant, but when he saw that the odds of the newly opened betting were so high, he was suddenly bewitched. Now that he had already placed the bet, he could not regret it.

.........

"Qingyi, you should open the bet again and bet that Cui Liang will not be able to enter the second round of the medical competition. With Cui Liang's identity and medical skills, it is impossible for him not to be able to enter the second round of the medical competition. Is there any hidden story behind this?" After placing the bets, on the way back to Huibin Building, Bai Yan thought of this and asked Xu Qingyi.

"This is what happened..." Xu Qingyi told Bai Yan that Cui Liang had framed him.

“Fortunately, Qingyi, you had the foresight to let the examiner keep an eye on Cui Liang first.

If you don't have foresight, it will be hard to say what will happen. If your reputation is ruined, it will be very difficult to deal with.

I didn't expect that Cui Liang, who was born in a good family, would do such a despicable thing. You can't judge a person by his appearance. "After listening to Xu Qingyi's story, Bai Yan showed indignation and strongly condemned Cui Liang's behavior. Then she was afraid.

.........

In the Imperial Hospital, after the test papers of the first round of competition examinations were collected, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital corrected the test papers overnight and worked overtime.

There are about 120 imperial physicians above the fifth rank in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Excluding the imperial physicians who need to be on duty during the day and at night, 80 of them are left to mark the examination papers for the medical competition.

One person has to mark a hundred test papers, and at least three people have to review and cross-check them to avoid mistakes and omissions. After that, the rankings have to be registered. This whole process will not be completed until at least tomorrow afternoon. The red list will be posted on the second day, and the second round will begin on the third day. The task is heavy and the time is tight.

One day later.

"The test papers have been graded and the rankings have been made. Do you know who the winner of the first round is?" After a day of grading the test papers, they were finally finished. The scores were ranked from high to low, and the top 800 people were selected to enter the second round of the medical competition.

"Is it him? Hua Yue is ranked second, Xu Qingyi is ranked third, and Wu Shang is ranked fourth.

The top five people, three of them are from Huichun Clinic, and the top twelve clinics each have five. It's evenly balanced." An imperial physician saw that the winner of the first round of the medical competition was Shi Tianyun, and he was both expected and unexpected.

"Hey! Why isn't the name of Cui Liang, the grandson of the imperial physician, on the list of 800?" Many imperial physicians in the Miaoshou Medical Clinic were optimistic about Cui Liang, but after going through the list, they didn't see Cui Liang's name on the list, and they were immediately surprised.

"Didn't he fail the first round and get eliminated?"

"Impossible, must this be a mistake?"

"Everyone, my grandson had vomiting and diarrhea last night, and had a high fever all night. He hasn't woken up yet. I'm afraid he won't be able to participate in the second medical competition.

Even if his name is included, he will not be able to participate in the second round of the medical competition. It would be a pity to waste the spot. It would be better to leave it to other people in need.

I had his name not recorded on the list." At this time, the imperial physician stepped forward and explained to the imperial physicians present.

It was obvious that Cui Liang had broken the rules of the examination room and was banned from participating in the competition. When Imperial Physician Wu heard that Imperial Physician Cui spoke so loftily, he sneered, glanced at Cui Shan, and said nothing more.

"That's a shame."

“There are still two days until the second level medical competition.

Maybe it will be done in two days. It is not certain whether Xiao Cui will be able to participate in the competition by then. Let's put his name on the list first. If he really cannot participate in the second medical competition, he can just give up the competition. "An imperial physician from the Miaoshou Medical Clinic suggested.

"No! My grandson is in critical condition and is seriously ill. He will not be able to recover in two days and cannot get out of bed. We should not waste this position." Cuishan quickly shook his head to refuse.

Yesterday, Cuishan learned that his grandson had framed others and made him lose face. When he returned that day, he beat Cuiliang with a stick and beat him half to death. He only recovered some energy the next day. He has no time to get out of bed for the next few days and has been reflecting on his mistakes at home.
