Chapter 35: Two firsts

Boss Guo was a little weak-hearted, but he still asked tentatively: "How to prove it?" And what to bet on? ”

Ji Qiao smiled: "How to prove it will be discussed later." Let's talk about gambling money first, if this poem is written by you, I will pay you a hundred taels of gold, and this poem project is counted as your win; If I do it, I will mortgage your shop with me. ”

Boss Guo already felt that Ji Qiao was a little weird, especially the fork, maybe he could figure out something famous. So he directly refused:

"I wrote this poem, so why should I bet with you? What's more, I also have half a chance to win, and I have bet ten taels of gold to bet on myself to win, if I win, I can get a thousand taels of gold, and then who will be rare for you this hundred taels. ”

When Boss Guo said this, everyone also heard that he was a little timid.

Ji Qiao continued to smile: "For the sake of working with you, I don't embarrass you......"

Boss Guo said very unceremoniously: "I have never worked with you, it's just that you are a shopkeeper in my inn." ”

Boss Guo saw that Ji Qiao was in the limelight now, and he was also a celebrity, so he wanted to elevate his identity by belittling him, and also promoted his inn by the way.

Ji Qiao saw that Boss Guo was determined not to admit to stealing poetry, and didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he turned his head and asked, "Judges, if I prove that Boss Guo's work was copied from me, can I convict him?" ”

All the referees were shaking their heads: "No such statement. ”

Ji Qiao also knew that there was no copyright protection law at this time, and if there was, he also copied it, but the descendants of the copy, everyone didn't know. So he asked: "Judges, can you be convicted of copying poems and openly cheating money on such occasions like Boss Guo?" ”

Youwei was a minister of the court and was familiar with the law, so he immediately said: "In this way, there is still a law to follow, and he can be convicted of fraud." ”

Ji Qiao immediately turned around and said, "Boss Guo, when I wrote this poem that day, there were still a few tables of guests next to me. Since you are using it to deceive people, they are not fools, and they will definitely use it to deceive people. I will now let the judge search it, and if I find two copies of the same scroll, I will condemn you. ”

When the referees heard this, they immediately went to turn over the poems.

Ji Qiao panicked! What are you anxious about? I just want to scare off Boss Guo, if I don't turn it out, wouldn't it be a slap in my face!

Unexpectedly, Boss Guo was even more panicked! Why didn't I think of this? This frightened a lot, and immediately trembled and said, "I... I'll admit, it's... This poem is copied from you, but... I haven't cheated the money yet, but I can't... As for the punishment, right? ”

After everyone heard this, they immediately cast a contemptuous look at Boss Guo.

Someone actually said, "I'll never go to his inn again." ”

Boss Guo didn't want to continue to be embarrassed here, so he ran away.

Unexpectedly, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "I also admit that this poem was written by Qiao Gongzi, and I also copied it." ”

Then a few more followed.

The referee laughed at this time, and was too lazy to turn it over, and announced on the spot that Ji Qiao won the first place in the poetry project.

The princess was immediately unhappy, and said angrily: "Father, your people are too useless, and I lost fifty taels of gold for myself, and you have to compensate me." ”

King Qi asked puzzledly, "How much gold do you have?" ”

The princess was even more angry: "I got together with the queen mother." ”

"I'll be with you alone." King Qi smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect that this time the humanities are so good!" ”

Tian Xi and the other prince also said at this time: "Father, we also bet one hundred taels of gold on the Wang Mei's poetry project. ”

King Qi said angrily: "Lone didn't let you bet twice." ”

The two princes looked at the princess and complained, "It's all your bad idea." ”

But the princess smiled and said, "How can you blame me, you want to make money." But don't worry, there are no intelligence projects, you both bet a hundred taels, if I win, you will still make a lot of money. ”

King Qi is also a little unconvinced now: "Yes, the think tank Gudu has brought it, and if you don't believe in arithmetic, you will lose to this kid!" ”

......

At this time, Lin Shi also found Steward Chen and asked, "Can I return the princess's money if I bet on it?" ”

Steward Chen replied: "Impossible, I have entered the account, and I handed over the account book to Mrs. in the morning." ”

Lin Shi regretted it a little, but asked again: "Steward Chen, do you think the princess can win in terms of intelligence?" ”

Steward Chen shook his head: "Difficult!" Qiao Gongzi is not simple-minded! You didn't see that when he dealt with Boss Guo just now, he reacted very quickly, and it was all psychological warfare. ”

Lin Shi comforted herself: "I can see it, but fortunately, this intelligence is compared to arithmetic, the king has brought so many people, the second housekeeper will definitely not win." ”

Steward Chen immediately teased: "Miss is not afraid that Gongzi Qiao will marry someone else if he loses?" ”

Lin Shi didn't care: "It doesn't matter if the princess wins, she is a woman, and she can't really marry me." ”

"Yes." Steward Chen nodded in agreement.

......

Soon, the answers to the puzzle questions began to be revealed.

There are three answers:

4 roosters, 18 hens, and 78 chicks;

8 roosters, 11 hens, and 81 chicks;

Buy 12 roosters, 4 hens, and 84 chicks.

There are a lot of people who answer this question correctly, and there are thousands of people. In fact, many people have signed up repeatedly, and after one person knows the answer, it is equivalent to many people knowing.

Then, the referee asked the question on the spot, and the answer sheet was handed in within two quarters of an hour.

The first question is: There is a wall five feet thick, and two rats wear it together. Rats are one foot a day, and mice are also one foot a day. Rats are doubled daily, and mice are doubled daily. Q: When will we meet? How much do you wear?

The inscription is: There is a wall with a thickness of five feet (1 foot = 10 inches), and two rats of the same size make holes from both sides of the wall at the same time, along a straight line. The rat scored one foot on the first day, and the progress of each day thereafter was twice as high as the previous day; The mice also scored one foot on the first day, and the progress of each day after that was half that of the previous day.

Q: How many days can they meet? How many goals did each score when they met?

Ji Qiao turned in her answer in less than a quarter of an hour.

That's too fast!

But everyone disagreed, thinking that Ji Qiao was operating in the dark.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ji Qiao said generously: "For the sake of fairness, everyone can ask questions, and I will answer them on the spot." ”

King Qi was also very puzzled, this referee was arranged by himself, and they didn't dare to collude with An Banghou! So he said: "Lonely question:

There is a thing that I don't know how many it is, the remaining two of the three or three numbers, the remaining three of the five or five numbers, and the remaining two of the seven or seven numbers. ”

Ji Qiaoxin said: I did this problem in the primary school math competition. So he blurted out: "Twenty-three." ”

King Qi was very speechless, and nodded and shook his head, nodding because he thought Ji Qiao was right, and shaking his head because he thought Ji Qiao was too incredible!

But Gongzi Tian Wu and Xuanwu Hou were not convinced, and each of them came up with a question.

Ji Qiao still handed over the answer very quickly.

Then, no one else came up with the question again.

The referee had to announce: In the intelligence project, Ji Qiao is the first.

Everyone didn't expect that the two projects of poetry and intelligence would be decided in less than an hour, if it wasn't for Boss Guo's episode, the time would be faster.

Now, Lin Shi can be said to be destined to be Ji Qiao's, there is no need to fight, and everyone is convinced!

Even if the other person wins the first place in the martial arts event, his poetry and intelligence must be in the top three in order to surpass Ji Qiao in the total score.

However, Ji Qiao was already ready, and copied five poems from later generations with the names of five people and handed them in. Therefore, the top five in the poetry project were almost all taken by Ji Qiao.

Therefore, no one can win Ji Qiao in this competition.

But it's still early, and there's nothing left to do.

Ji Qiao said: "You can go to the casino now, we have listed the odds of the top twenty people in the martial arts project, and the odds of the others are temporarily calculated according to one to fifty." Starting tomorrow, Wubi will enter the knockout round, and after the second round of elimination, there will be a gambling game in each single game. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested and gathered around to watch.
