Lin Yan suddenly asked, "Young Master Qiao, what do you think Xuanwu Hou will do next?" ”

Ji Qiao analyzed: "With the princess's help to watch the scene, it is impossible for Xuanwu Hou to dismantle the stage, he may find you to theorize and restrain us with morality and ethics." ”

Lin Yan asked worriedly: "If Xuanwu Hou really theorizes with me, how should he reply?" ”

Ji Qiao still has the same set of theories: "In this marriage, there is no matchmaker, no marriage contract, and no dowry, so you don't admit it, saying that you drank too much at the beginning, and you don't remember it anymore."

then pushed the responsibility on Tian Yi, saying that he couldn't do a lot, and the young lady went to seek death several times for this matter. In addition, if you bite today's murder case, you will say that Tian Yi framed Miss.

Now the entire Linzi rich people, including the ministers, almost every family has signed up to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, and a prince has also signed up. So you're going to be there for us to speak. ”

......

The next day, in the court.

The Marquis of Xuanwu actually directly mentioned the marriage of Tian Yi and Lin Shi to the King of Qi, and asked the King of Qi to give a comment.

Lin Yan immediately said: "Xuanwu Hou, those are all drunken words, I don't remember this matter for a long time, but you keep holding on to it." Besides, the character and ability of your son, you also know that my Shi'er has sought death several times for this matter.

Who knew that this time, she actually took advantage of the fact that my wife and I were out to engage in a martial arts competition. Now it is known all over the city, and the official competition will be held in two days, and the situation is irreparable. ”

Xuanwu Hou said angrily: "You don't admit it, and you violate morality and ethics, and cooperate with your daughter to harm my son." ”

Lin Yan fought back without showing weakness: "Since Xuanwu Hou said so, then who instructed me to frame my Shi'er's murder yesterday?" Does your housekeeper have the brains and guts? Is this related to Tian Yi? Should we continue the investigation? ”

Xuanwu Hou said angrily: "You don't want to spew blood." ”

The ministers did not want to make a big deal out of the matter, so they immediately persuaded:

"Don't worry about this matter, don't chase the marriage contract after Xuanwuhou, and don't investigate the murder case deeply."

"Yes, there are so many women in the world, why do you have to stare at one of them, and besides, other girls are determined to die."

"Yes, who is shameless about this person, if Miss Lin Shi is not a last resort, she will not engage in a martial arts competition to recruit relatives."

"If you don't let Tian Yigongzi directly participate in the competition, if he has real skills, this Lin Shi girl is still his."

King Qi also persuaded at this time: "Don't worry about the past between you and the two families, let Tian Yi Gongzi rob it with his true skills." I heard that the scale of this contest is quite large, and my Qi country also needs to hold such a festive event. Lone decided that the competition would be held as scheduled, and there would be no court during the competition, so for the sake of fairness, Lone personally participated in the supervision. ”

The court immediately resounded with a voice of approval: "The king is wise!" It is necessary to make this competition and recruitment activity impressive, and maybe some talents can be found from it. ”

Xuanwu Hou now also knows that reasoning is useless, this matter is a foregone conclusion! And with the support of the king, it is impossible to use force by himself, and a resentment can't help but rise in his heart!

However, Xuanwu Hou also got the bottom and asked for ten places.

But all the ministers were very understanding, after all, each family had signed up many times, and some had more than ten times.

......

After Xuanwu Hou returned home, Tian Yi immediately asked, "Dad, how is the situation?" ”

"You go straight to the game, and fight by yourself." Xuanwu Hou sighed.

This time, he didn't get angry with Tian Yi, because he thought that the whole incident was carefully planned by An Banghou, and even he was tricked, let alone this incompetent son.

Tian Yi is even more stupid now, what do you compare yourself with?

......

Ampang Hou Mansion.

After Lin Yan came back, he announced that the king of Qi would not have a dynasty, and personally participated in supervising the competition to recruit relatives, and told everyone again.

Ji Qiao immediately rejoiced: "This is the best!" We don't have to worry about others messing with us. ”

Lin Shi is also happy that he is about to escape from Tian Yi's clutches openly!

But then I was worried, what if the winner was an old man over 50 years old? So he asked, "Second butler, you will definitely win this competition, right?" ”

Ji Qiao ignored her, but continued: "This competition is presided over by Master Hou, Gongzi is in charge of the princess's competition, Mrs. Dongfang is responsible for the deployment and management of the entire scene, and Miss is responsible for the stinky beauty, and she wants to dress herself up in a fancy way." Let the king's people be responsible for the security of the scene. ”

Steward Chen was a little dissatisfied, how could he not have his own business. Then he asked, "Young Master Qiao, what should I do?" ”

Ji Qiao said very mysteriously: "Your business is the most important, responsible for making money." ”

Everyone is very puzzled, what else can you make?

Ji Qiao continued: "Steward Chen will take out all the one hundred and fifty taels of gold, let's make the bank, set up a gambling game, bet on who wins each competition, and definitely make a big profit." ”

Everyone is a little unconvinced, and even worried that the hard-earned gold will be lost.

Lin Shi was very supportive: "This is good, I will also gamble with the ten taels of gold." ”

Dongfang Jiao disagreed: "Dead girl, this banker's money is my money, you don't obviously want to win your mother's money." ”

Lin Shi was not convinced: "Then you have the ability not to let me win." ”

Dongfang Jiao replied angrily: "I don't have this ability, but if you win, I have the ability not to lose." ”

Lin Shi was dumbfounded, and said angrily: "You are purely cheating." Then he said to Steward Chen: "You have to be punctual in this matter." ”

Steward Chen replied very seriously: "I only listen to Madame." ”

Lin Shi immediately looked angry.

Ji Qiao smiled: "You won't find someone to help you place your bets, so they won't know." ”

"Yes, yes." Lin Shi immediately turned his worries into joy.

......

Two days later, the competition officially began.

That scene can be described as: crowds of people, side by side, crowns like clouds, spectators like a city, and the grand occasion is unprecedented!

There were more than 1,800 contestants, nearly 10,000 relatives and friends, and 10,000 people watching, bringing the total number to more than 20,000.

In other words, one-sixth of the people in the entire Linzi City came.

The king of Qi sent 2,000 men to maintain law and order.

The ministers and princes and nobles of the court and the central government have all gathered, and none of them have been missed, which is more complete than the previous court.

Everyone also greeted each other:

"Haha, I didn't expect Master Zhang to also have Yaxing."

"I'm here to cheer for the dogs, I don't know who Lord Li is for?"

"The old man also wants to be a military advisor to his grandson, who is Lord Liu for?"

"Ashamed, ashamed, in the next for... For yourself. ”

......

King Qi was the first to take the stage to deliver a speech: "In this event, there are so many participants, and I am deeply grateful!" It shows that our Qi people are prosperous. Lone came here this time to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the game. In the next few days, I hope all the contestants will show their talents! Show off your economy! Win the first place! And hand in hand with the beauty! ”

Then Lin Yan read out the rules of the competition:

The competition is divided into three parts: martial arts, poetry, and intelligence.

First of all, poetry: since it is a competition for beauty, with the theme of describing the beauty of women or the love between men and women, each person writes a poem, and submits the paper three days later. Then the king selected ten elders with high moral standing and profound literary skills for evaluation and scoring.
