When they came to their senses, the first reaction of the judges and the debaters in Heping Bridge No. 2 was: Fake, right? How could anyone in this world recite the "Old Tang Book"?

It is somewhat possible to say that he can memorize "Mencius", Du poems and even "Historical Records", after all, these are commonly used books, and they are famous and passed down through the ages, and they are indeed worth memorizing. But who knows what the "Old Tang Book" is? If you don't specialize in the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, you may never go through that set of books for the rest of your life. How could anyone carry it?

The thin-lipped girl couldn't help but jump out first: "Judge, referee, he is talking nonsense! If you think about it, you know, how can anyone in this world be so familiar with the "Old Tang Book"? Obviously, in order to refute our viewpoint, he deliberately fabricated evidence and falsely claimed that it was from the "Old Tang Book". The judges and referees, please strictly investigate and deal with this matter, punish it severely, and set an example!"

It was still competition time, and any inappropriate actions might leave a negative impression on the judges, which would affect the final score, so Jiang Shuiyuan just smiled and didn't get up to refute. But in the eyes of the thin-lipped girl, laughter has also become evidence of the crime: "Judges, referees, you see that he is still smiling, he must be forced to smile to cover up his weakness!"

Sister, I can't laugh yet? I don't laugh, do I have to cry and mourn my face? I'm afraid that if I really want to cry and lose my face, it will become another piece of incriminating evidence in your mouth! Jiang Shuiyuan slandered.

"This classmate, are you familiar with the Old Tang Book?" asked Chu Hanyi.

As a doctor who studies the development of Han and Tang Dynasty classics, Chu Hanyi has read the "Old Tang Book" many times when writing his dissertation, and in all fairness, his understanding of the "Old Tang Book" is still very shallow, and even the few sentences quoted by Jiang Shuiyuan are not in the "Old Tang Book", and if they are, they are not clear in the "Xuanzong Benji" or "Five Elements Chronicles", let alone recite the full text!

Seeing the judge's question, Jiang Shuiyuan got up and replied truthfully: "It's okay, right? ”

Hearing Jiang Shuiyuan's answer, Chen Shuang, Fu Shouzhang and the others all breathed a long sigh of relief. A few of them can be said to know the root of the river water source, and they know that with Jiang Shuiyuan's attainments in Chinese culture, if they make up a fake, it will be really difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between them! Now that he has admitted that he has seen it once, it should not be fabricated out of thin air. Because for him, reading it once is basically equivalent to reciting it proficiently.

But others don't think so:

"Have you read it once?" the thin-lipped girl screamed, "Judges, judges, have you heard, he said that he has only read it once! Although I have not flipped through the Old Tang Book, I can also imagine that it is a large book with hundreds of volumes, and after reading it once, I can casually say that there was a famine in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain place, do you believe it? This is not a deliberate fabrication, what else can it be?"

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it. It's like you haven't read the Old Tang Book, haven't anyone else read it either?" Chen Di said coldly.

The thin-lipped girl was choked and rolled her eyes.

Chu Hanyi heard Jiang Shuiyuan say that he had only read the "Old Tang Book" once, and his heart was also full of doubts, so he took the opportunity to ask about what he knew: "This classmate, then do you know how many volumes of the "Old Tang Book" are?

There is a pertinent problem to this question. As we all know, Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is divided into 12 books, 10 tables, 8 books, 30 families, and 70 biographies according to the style, of which the present chronicle and the biography are the main body, so this style is also called "Ji Biography". The official histories of later dynasties have been written with reference to this style, but they are different. For example, "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", "Book of Liang", "Book of Chen", etc., only have two styles, "Book of Song", "Book of Nanqi", "Book of Wei", etc., there are three styles of Benji, Liebiography, and Zhi, and "Book of Jin" in addition to the three types of Benji, Liebiography, and Zhi, but also created a new style called "Jiji". If you haven't looked through the history books carefully, it's really hard to tell how many of them are.

Jiang Shuiyuan replied: "If I remember correctly, there are 200 volumes of the Old Tang Book, including 20 volumes of the Benji, 30 volumes of the Zhi and 150 volumes of the biography. ”

Zhou Zhihu turned his face and asked in a low voice, "Dr. Chu, is this student right?"

"Yes, yes, but ......"

From this boy's proficiency in reporting the number of volumes and style, it is not difficult to see that he has indeed read the "Old Tang Book", but after reading it, he can be proficient enough to quote it casually? No matter how you think about this kind of thing, it is a little weird, at least Chu Hanyi himself will definitely not be able to do it. But just like the girl just retorted, if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it either. So Chu Hanyi didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhou Zhiwat touched his round belly: "The so-called 'no suspicion of guilt', since we are only shallow in our studies, we can't judge the falsity of what he said, I think it's better to expose it and continue the game!

"No!" the thin-lipped girl seemed to be in contact with Jiang Shuiyuan, "We can't wronged a good person, but we can't let go of a bad person, especially if we are suspected of fabricating evidence in the competition, how can we be vague and hastily understand? Of course, I also know that during the competition, we should not be so entangled and delay the precious time of the judges and judges." It is better to do this, if it is confirmed that the opponent's defense friend has a well-founded claim, and our side is willing to give up the game and take the initiative to admit defeat; if we can't find those few sentences in the "Old Tang Book," then trouble the opponent's defense friend to take the initiative to take the blame and leave the table. What do you think?"

The judges are all old and sophisticated, and they immediately understood the songs: after the first few links, although the two teams are not much different, the balance of victory and defeat has obviously tilted towards the Huai'an Fuzhong side. As long as there are no mistakes in the summary of the presentation, the winner will definitely be Huai'an Fuzhong. Thinking that this little woman also saw the clue in this, she came up with this trick.

A bet to win or lose, it seems to be a dangerous move, but in fact it is a wonderful move. Because even if they lose, they don't have much to lose, at most they just admit defeat in advance. And winning the bet is a surprise. Even if the other party refuses to bet, it can also take the opportunity to damage the judges' perception of the Huai'an Fu squadron and change the final score. Moreover, the content of the bet is the proficiency of the "Old Tang Book", which is impossible for normal people to do, so the odds are quite large. With such a sure-fire deal, why not?

This little woman is calculating!

Chen Di, Fu Shouzhang and others are not fools, and after a little pondering, they saw through the other party's sinister intentions. Fortunately, they knew that Jiang Shuiyuan was talented, and if they really wanted to gamble, they would definitely win, and after a little discussion, they said to Jiang Shuiyuan: "Senior Brother Jiang, since the other party is so unrelenting, why don't we gamble with her?"

"Isn't that good?" Jiang Shuiyuan hesitated. As much as he wanted to win, it was a bit of a stretch to win.

"Haha, you have a weak heart, right?" The thin-lipped girl saw that Jiang Shuiyuan was unwilling to participate in the gambling, and immediately sacrificed the method of agitation.

If you don't die, you won't die. Since you want to die so much, how can I stop it? Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help but sneer a few times: "As the old saying goes: sacrifice your life to accompany a gentleman. Since the opponent's defense friend has this kind of Yaxing, how can we not accompany me to the end? I only hope that when the result comes out, the opponent's defense friend can honestly and frankly return my innocence!"

"A gentleman's word!"

"Whip the horse!"

One of the judges asked in a low voice, "Director Zhou, is this unruly?"

Zhou Zhiwat groaned slightly, shook his shiny head and said: "Both of them are Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai - one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and there is no explicit prohibition in the competition system, so we have no reason to stop it, right? As long as they can decide the winner and have no objection to the result of the game, what do we care so much about? Not to mention that such a good show is rare to encounter once in ten or eight years, so it is impossible to miss it!"

Well, it's not a big deal to feel that ** home is to watch the excitement!

The thin-lipped girl bowed slightly to the referee: "Trouble referee, teacher, I remember that there is a complete set of Chinese editions of "Twenty-four History" in our school library, and there should be "Old Tang Book" in it. Could you please get someone to pick it up?"

Jiang Shuiyuan added: "If it is the "Old Tang Book" in the Chinese version of "Twenty-four History", then you only need to take the first volume!"

Fortunately, the campus of Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School is not large, and it is needed by the judges, and within ten minutes, someone was panting and sent the first volume of "Old Tang Book" to the host Zhou Zhihua. Zhou Zhihu handed it to Chu Hanyi casually: "Dr. Chu, old man, I am old and dazzled, and I am very unfamiliar with such esoteric classics, so you should come and check it!"

Chu Hanyi was about to excuse herself, when Jiang Shuiyuan said: "Don't bother too much, this version of the Old Tang Book happens to be what I read before." I just quoted three points, one is the first month of the spring of the second year of Kaiyuan, 'Guanzhong has not rained since the autumn of last year, and there are many people and hunger', which should be on page 172 of this book. Please look through the moderator and find out!"

"Really?" Chu Hanyi didn't care about etiquette, took the "Old Tang Book" and flipped it up. Zhang Hong and several other judges also got up and came over, pointing at the side: "He said it was 172 pages, and you turned to 200 pages away, how could you find it?"

"Page 172 is the eighth volume of "The Eighth Book of the Chronicle: Xuanzong I"!"

"Kaiyuan is the year name of Xuanzong Li Longji, and the second year of Kaiyuan is relatively high. If there is really this record, it should be in "Xuanzong Benji"!"

"Found it! Found it! I'll take a look, 'Guanzhong has not rained since last autumn, and there are many hungry people', oh my God, it is word for word!"

"How did this kid do that?"

Jiang Shuiyuan ignored the surprise of the judges and continued: "The second article I quote is in the autumn of the fifteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, 'water in sixty-three states, frost and drought in seventeen states, and hunger in Hebei', which should be on page 191 of the same volume. Please check!"

The judges' exclamation had already alarmed Zhou Zhiwat and the referee, and everyone surrounded Chu Hanyi in disregard of the rules of the arena, and urged one after another: "Flip, flip, he said that the second article is on page 191 of the same volume!"

The result was unexpected, once again triggering a chorus of exclamation from the judges.

The teammates in Huai'an Mansion had seen the magical skills of the river source a long time ago, and they had reached the point where they were commonplace and unchanging, so their demeanor was quite calm at this time. But when the girls in Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School heard the exclamations of the judges, they all turned gray and depressed, especially the girl with thin lips, who had to tighten their thin lips tightly, and their eye circles began to redden.

However, Jiang Shuiyuan was frowning slightly and trying to recall, after all, the "Old Tang Book" was read a long time ago, and he needed to recall it vigorously, so he didn't notice the expressions of the girls on the other side: "The third article I quoted is the twenty-first year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, 'Guanzhong has been raining for a long time, and the Jingshi is hungry', which should be on page 200." ——”

"That's enough!" Huo Ran, the thin-lipped girl, stood up and said with a crying voice, "No need to look for it!

As soon as the words fell, tears rolled down.
