Chapter 35: Dissecting Mice

Kang Hou saw the meaning from the emperor's subtle expression, and he quickly stood up vigilantly for Yan Miao's appreciation, and said with a look of worrying about the country and the people.

"Your Majesty, today's competition has already been arranged, if you suddenly change the rules because of the appearance of this woman, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the world, so please think twice!"

King Xuan would not let himself succeed so easily, but this statement was really not convincing, so he stepped forward and replied.

"What Kang Hou said is indeed good, but my Imperial City Division has the right to go to Cambodia for this kind of talent from ancient times to the present, and I think Kang Hou must be old, so I can't remember clearly!"

The emperor saw that they had their own opinions, but on such an important occasion as today, if something unexpected happened to make an effect, it would be a loss of royal face.

Thinking of this, the emperor got up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps to the two of them, glanced at King Xuan, and then fell on the person next to him.

"Kang Hou, this rule does exist, the rule has existed for hundreds of years, if we don't follow the rules, I'm afraid things will be messed up!"

Hearing this, the corners of Kang Hou's mouth pulled out an imperceptible smile, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

However, he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, the emperor turned his head again and again, and his eyes fell on King Xuan, "However, I am also curious about what kind of ability the person recommended by the Imperial City Division has today?" ”

King Xuan raised his head to look at the emperor, and then replied loudly, "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!" ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly, "What Kang Hou said is certainly true, the Imperial City Division is a place where talents are concentrated, and the Imperial City Division recommends talents to the imperial court is a rule that has been formed since the time of the emperor, so today I will follow what I said." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor pulled his clothes, turned around, and a sharp breeze came from between his sleeves, and then everyone heard the emperor command, "Come on, put on the props!" ”

Soon, two fathers-in-law stepped forward with trays in their hands, each with five palm-sized mice.

Seeing this, Yan Miao squeaked, so even if she suppressed her throat, she said in a low voice, "Hey, it's too cruel to kill living beings for a competition!" ”

Although he deliberately lowered his voice so that others would not hear it, King Xuan, who was standing next to Yan Miao, could hear it clearly.

I'm afraid that this ghostly girl can't grasp the proportions, and it's just in front of others, but today in front of His Majesty, if there is really any trouble, and someone catches the handle at that time, then I'm afraid things won't be so easy to handle.

Just in case, King Xuan had to remind, "If you want to win today's written exam, you'd better not talk nonsense, otherwise no one will be able to help you if something happens!" ”

Yan Miao nodded clearly, turned sideways imperceptibly, patted his chest with a confident look, and compared himself to a yes, "Don't worry!" I'm bound to win! ”

The emperor didn't notice that Yan Miao and King Xuan were whispering there.

But once everything was arranged, he began to announce the rules of today's competition.

"My duty is to examine the corpses of the murders, and I deal with all kinds of corpses on weekdays, but today I am only a few rats in front of you.

However, although the rats are small, they have all kinds of organs, if you can find out how these rats died through the knowledge you have learned and the experience you have accumulated in your daily life, then you can also see which of you is more powerful! ”

Both nodded after hearing clearly.

Others saw that the competition was about to start, and King Xuan also stood aside quite interestingly, no longer bothering the other party.

Hearing a gong, it was obviously the beginning of the competition, Wen Wen quickly took out a complete set of utensils that he had prepared a long time ago and began to dissect.

However, Yan Miao seemed to be stupid when she said this, staring at the mice in place, refusing to even move her eyes.

After seeing the comparison in front of them, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, Kang Hou couldn't persuade him just now, which really made him lose his old face, so now he can't wait to see the joke, and he snorted coldly and said.

"Hmph, it seems that she is just a stinky girl with little knowledge, as for King Xuan to treat such a girl as a baby, and recommend him to His Majesty to be embarrassed?"

Everyone also nodded again and again after hearing what Kang Hou said, after all, they didn't see that this girl had the ability that King Xuan said.

"This girl seems to be frightened, and lo and behold, those eyes are only staring at the mouse in front of her, the game has begun, and she is still motionless!"

"Tsk...... It's weird! King Xuan has always been ruthless and rejects people thousands of miles away, but today he is prone to recommend a little girl in front of His Majesty, and he is so exaggerated that he is a rare talent, which is really a joke! ”

……

King Xuan could naturally hear the meaning of these people, although he didn't know what Yan Miao was doing, but he was not in a hurry at all.

Yan Miao stared at the mice, in the eyes of others, she may have been so frightened by the posture in front of her that she didn't even dare to move, but she knew very well what she was doing.

Although the dead rats in front of them looked the same on the surface, because they died in different ways, and even without dissection, some details could be seen.

It wasn't until she finished observing that Yan Miao took it out of her pocket and put a small buckle on her hand.

Soon, he began to dissect under everyone's puzzled gaze, and about half an hour later, Wen Wen took the lead in completing it, and just washed his hands, Yan Miao quickly put down the knife in his hand.

Gao Fang, the father-in-law beside the emperor, quickly reported the results, and a sharp voice echoed throughout the hall, "Your Majesty, the competition is over!" ”

The Emperor nodded slightly, and then a look motioned for the old servants to come forward and make a judgment.

Soon the results came out, and a gray-bearded old man stepped forward, saluted the emperor, and then said, "Your Majesty, Wen Gongzi took the lead in completing this task, and it stands to reason that the winner of this competition should be Wen Gongzi!" ”

"That's true, Wen Gongzi is not only better in time than in this competition, but also the process of dissection is quite fluent without any mistakes, so Wen Gongzi is a well-deserved winner!"

Yan Miao's face was still as calm as ever when she heard this.

It wasn't until everyone had expressed their opinions that he stepped forward and said, "Wen Gongzi's performance is naturally impeccable, but the beauty clearly remembers that the topic of Your Majesty's written test is to find out the cause of the death of the mouse!" ”

The Emperor nodded and replied, "Indeed! ”

"That being the case, when we judge the results of this competition, the first criterion should be whether the contestant has found out the cause of death, and time is secondary!"
