Chapter 268 The waning moon and the lonely lantern
"If you apologize and get out of the stage, then this matter will be over." Zhao Mo looked at Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun with a sinister look on his face, "Otherwise, you will use deceitful means to fool the people, and you will never be able to settle down in Wantian County! "
This country girl wants to open her own restaurant, no wonder she refuses to sell her spring water and spicy cabbage!
But she can't let her open this restaurant, otherwise the business of his Zuixian Restaurant will be robbed?
The three signature dishes in his restaurant are all recipes provided by this bitch, and she also has spring water and spicy cabbage with a good reputation. Many diners still remember it, and every time they visit, they always ask, 'Can the spicy cabbage be made?
Besides, this bitch previously revealed that Yuli has other fresh dishes, so wouldn’t she become a potential rival of the Zhao family?
Furthermore, Zhao Ke of Zuixianlou is running a prosperous business. If he takes it and then goes bankrupt, how will his father view him? His father will definitely think that he is not as good as Zhao Ke!
So how can Shen Yuyu let her open her restaurant? It's best to drive them out of Wantian County and Lingzhou City! Disappear from your sight forever!
Zhao Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth and thought viciously.
However, Magistrate Sun's expression changed, and he tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Master Zhao is right, but not right! This lantern fan has many kinds of fantasies. In addition to guessing words, there are also guessing animals, guessing values, and guessing supplies. Ji Xun Just because a couple can guess so much doesn’t necessarily mean they’re cheating!”
In fact, Magistrate Sun had no idea when he said this. Who knows if they cheated? But in view of the advice Zhang Neng gave him when he left Wantian County, he had no choice but to help Ji Xun. No one wanted to be a peacemaker. offend.
"Really? Then I have to see what myths they guessed correctly."
Zhao Mo said as he picked up the stack of red lottery tickets in the hand of the teller and read them one by one.
"Only Seventh Sister matches Dong Lang (guess an idiom)"
"Seven (hit one idiom)'
"A vast and empty place by the water without any questions (guess a word)
I read more than a dozen of them in succession, all of them guessing words and idioms, and many of them were very difficult. Even Magistrate Sun himself could not guarantee that he could guess even half of them correctly, let alone the others.
"Oh, looking at a very honest couple, I didn't expect that they would cheat. I really can't tell!" Dean Yao of Qinglin Academy shook his head.
He could only guess eight or nine of Zhao Mo Nian's puzzles, so how could this unread country couple guess it? No one would believe it if they said they didn't cheat.
"Then how did they cheat?" someone asked strangely.
"How did you cheat? You must have taken off the sign, tore it open and read the answer, then glued it back together."
"Well, it's very possible, but there are hundreds of mysteries. It's amazing to be able to memorize them all in such a short period of time."
"Don't you know this? Some country people are illiterate but have excellent memories. They can count hundreds of sheep without missing a beat. Can you do it if you read a lot of books?"
"Sss~~ It seems like that is indeed the case."
Anyway, everyone thinks that Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu cheated.
No one knows Ji Xun's mood at this moment. The eldest prince who is most valued by the emperor has the miraculous ability of photographic memory. When he was ten years old, he secretly participated in the scientific examination and wrote an article that amazed the entire court and was selected as the number one scholar by the emperor.
I didn’t expect that today I just guessed a few lantern fans and would be considered cheating, haha~~.
"Yu Yu, did you cheat?" Ji Xun put his arms around Shen Yu Yu's shoulders and pinched her little nose lovingly.
This girl guessed as many riddles correctly as he did, which really impressed him.
Shen Yuxi shook his head with an innocent look on his face, "No, Yuxi, can it be so simple?" She is also a top student in a 985 medical school in modern times. Is it necessary to cheat to be a fan?
The audience burst into laughter as soon as her words came out.
"Ignorant peasant woman, she cheated and refused to admit it, she is really..." "Isn't that right? Cheating man, apologize!"
"Don't even think about receiving the prize, get off the stage."
"Re-evaluating the rankings, Dean Yao of Qinglin Academy is undoubtedly the first.'
Magistrate Sun's eyebrows were twitching, and his head was about to explode. Zhang Neng's warning words were still ringing in his ears.
"County Magistrate Sun must remember how Magistrate Lin stepped down and how he was executed. Otherwise, if you offend someone you shouldn't offend, even the gods can't save you!"
He didn't want to follow the old path of County Magistrate Lin, so he calmed down the matter and said: "Okay, okay, you have no evidence that Ji Xun cheated with his wife, so let's just forget about it. Mr. Zhao doesn't need to pay for the prize. The original order Take out fifty taels as a reward, and the matter will be over."
He just wanted to solve this matter quickly and couldn't afford to offend anyone.
As a native of Lingzhou, there is no need to say anything about the Zhao family.
Although Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu were from the countryside, according to Zhang Neng's tone, they might be relatives of the Governor. They could not afford to offend them, so they could only settle the matter and make peace with them.
However, how could Zhao Mo be willing? He was determined to drive Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu out of Wantian County. Even if they couldn't be driven away, they would have to lose their reputation and make it impossible for them to open a restaurant.
Zhao Mo put his head close to the county magistrate's ear and whispered softly.
"There are things that Magistrate Sun didn't know when he first arrived. These two country bumpkins had nothing to do with the Inspector. They still risked beheading by blocking the Inspector's sedan chair to express their grievances. Then they met Zhang Neng. The reason why Zhang Neng Protecting them is just taking advantage of them."
"Really?" Magistrate Sun was doubtful, but when he thought of Zhang Neng's warning eyes and tone, his heart immediately froze and he did not dare to slack off.
After thinking for a while, he said politely to Ji Xun: "Ji Xun, do you have any way to prove that you didn't cheat?"
"No." Ji Xun looked nonchalant, "If you think we cheated, bring us the evidence."
Magistrate Sun thought for a moment, "Well, if you can write your own name, then it means you are not cheating." He also gave them a try and went down the stairs. He has never read a book again, so his name will always be written, right?
"Is County Magistrate Sun trying to cover them up on purpose?" Zhao Mo asked, "If you ask me, if there are so many academy students here, let them fool themselves in public and ask them to guess, as long as they can guess it, it means they have no problem. Cheating.'
"Yes, let them guess in public, and this will prove it." The people watching below agreed.
Magistrate Sun can't even think about helping Ji Xun. He can't arouse public anger, right? Is this magistrate enough?
All he could say was: "Then issue thirty pieces of paper, write down the mystery on the paper, and give it to me after writing it.'
After a lot of work, thirty red slips of paper were handed over to Magistrate Sun.
Zhao Mo watched with satisfaction. He had already prepared a plan and asked the scholars to pick out the most difficult words to write. They would write all the Chinese characters and idioms so that neither of them could guess them! It would make them look ugly!
"To show fairness, as long as half of these lots are correct, it means that Ji Xun and his wife did not cheat." After finishing speaking, County Magistrate Sun picked up the first puzzle face and read: "Crane the Moon and the Lonely Lantern, guess a word."
Everyone couldn't help but silently recited "Wan Yue Gu Deng". Not many people could guess it, so everyone turned their attention to the stage and quietly waited for the two people on the stage to make a fool of themselves.
