Chapter 357: Surrender

There is no rule for others to taste wine at the wine fighting conference, so it was specially arranged by the county magistrate for those onlookers.

Since there is no such condition today, the matter of tasting wine can only be stopped.

For the sake of fairness, the county magistrate specially found three small jars with the same appearance and poured the wine of the three families into it separately.

After resealing the poured wine, he deliberately reversed the order, and then put the wine on the tray and walked out with it himself.

This time, the county master was the only one who touched those jars from beginning to end, and no one had ever handled it, so he didn't believe that anyone could change the wine in this situation.

After the county magistrate put the three jars of wine on the table separately, he re-announced the start of the game.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bartender from earlier walked up again.

He opened a jar of wine, poured ten bowls at a time, handed them to the judges, and then stood quietly aside.

After the judges had drunk the first jar, they gestured to the bartender, and he immediately understood, and then opened the second jar and poured it, followed by the third.

Don't think that drinking is just a moment's work, this is a competition, and it would be a bit too much to say if it was as refreshing and neat as drinking on a daily basis.

After the judges hold the wine, they look at the color, then smell it, and finally taste it. You can't drink this wine in your mouth, but you should drink it carefully and slowly appreciate its taste.

Therefore, there are only three bowls of wine, and these judges have drunk a stick of incense for a long time.

After the tasting, it's time to vote.

Each of the ten judges took out a small sign with their name on it and threw them into a small box in front of their favorite wine jar.

After the judges voted, it was time for the county lord to appear.

His task was to open the three boxes, count the number of signs in front of each jar, and announce today's victors.

Everyone watched the county master take out the signs one by one, and their hearts couldn't help but get excited.

If you want to say who is the most nervous and excited, it is the representatives of the three sake breweries who participated in this competition.

Gao Yuxing must be the most excited and nervous, after all, this game has changed from the game he is most sure of to a game that he is not sure of, and seeing that the position of the leader is about to leave him, how can he not be excited. Thinking of the only glimmer of hope of victory, how could he not be nervous.

Every time the county master took out a sign, his heart jumped a few times.

He can see it clearly, of the three wine jars, the one with the most brands is the one in the middle, but he doesn't know whose family the jar of wine belongs to.

Although Gao Yusheng was also a little nervous, he was more excited and excited.

Originally, he was worried that his eldest brother might win him, but after this incident, the wine that the eldest brother brought to the competition seemed to have been replaced, and seeing that the confidence on the eldest brother's face was gone, how could Gao Yusheng not guess that his eldest brother was not sure about the new wine at all.

This is really good news for Gao Yusheng, so he has one less competitor.

Although the strength of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce should not be underestimated, the hope of the Gao family winning is always greater.

Thinking that the Gao family would get countless benefits, Gao Yusheng trembled with excitement.

His Gao family has waited for so many years, and finally waited for the opportunity to rise, how can it not be exciting.

If you want to say that the most tangled, it has to be paid for more.

He hopes that Ruyi Winery can get more brands, after all, this is the industry of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, for this sudden competition, they have exhausted their manpower and material resources, if they can't win, wouldn't it make the brothers in the Chamber of Commerce busy in vain, so he doesn't want to lose to others in his heart.

But to be honest, he didn't want Ruyi Winery to win over the alley.

is still the same sentence, he watched Xia Yan come to this day step by step, and he didn't want her to become nothing in an instant because of this time.

As for the Gao family, it doesn't matter in Fu Duozhi's opinion, anyway, with the wine of Ruyi Winery, they can't afford to make much waves.

Originally, Alley Shen still had the possibility of competing with Ruyi Winery, but there were just some forks, which caused Alley Depth to be almost no longer competitive, so in Fu Duozhi's heart, he had basically determined who would be the leader today.

Except for Ruyi Winery, there is no other possibility.

Therefore, Fu Duozhi, who had already guessed the result, didn't feel nervous at all, he was only worried about how to face Xia Yan after the game.

The mood of the others is mostly nervous and excited, with a hint of expectation, hoping that the one who will win is the one they have in their hearts.

After the county magistrate counted the signs, he turned to face the onlookers and said with a smile: "Everyone, I think everyone has been waiting for a day, all for the result at this moment." ”

Without waiting for anyone to respond, the county magistrate smiled again: "Originally, we should have met everyone's hopes and announced the results directly." But today...... I want to sell it first. ”

The county magistrate has presided over many wine fighting conferences, and this is the first time he has not directly announced the results.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little curious, but no one objected, and waited quietly for the county master to continue.

The county master was very satisfied with the result, he nodded and smiled: "I think you have just seen that there were some small accidents in the previous competition, so we temporarily changed the wine for the competition." ”

The onlookers only knew that the county magistrate left the scene with the wine jar, but most of them thought that he had just changed the wine jar.

I thought that the county master was having a convulsion, and he simply felt that the altar was too big, so he had this idea temporarily, but he didn't expect an accident to happen here.

It's no wonder that the onlookers couldn't guess the reason, after all, what just happened was completely hidden from them, and even the catchers who maintained order around the arena didn't know what was going on.

With curiosity, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the county master explain the details inside.

The county lord also lived up to expectations, took a deep breath, pointed to the three wine jars and said, "Just now, one of them was replaced with rancid muddy water by someone with bad intentions. There was no way to continue the game, so I decided to change the jar again, and by the way, the destroyed wine from the jar. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.

Who has the audacity to do such a thing under the nose of the county master!

You must know that the wine used in the finals was prepared by the county magistrate himself, so replacing the wine with muddy water is not a blatant slap in the face of the county magistrate?

Even if it has nothing to do with him, it will still end up with a notoriety of poor supervision.

So how could a county magistrate who pays attention to reputation let this person go.

On the other hand, this person is too much of a thing.

The wine fight conference is a rare event in Qin County, and making trouble at this time is not just about slapping the county lord in the face, but also not taking them in the eyes of those people in Qin County, let alone those who love wine.

Knowing the truth, almost everyone had an idea in their hearts: When the county magistrate finds out the real murderer, they must give that person some color to see, and they want him to know that the people of Qin County are by no means easy to mess with. It's okay to be bad in other things, but since this idea hits their favorite wine, then don't blame them for being rude.

The people of Qinxian County may not be united enough in other matters, but once it involves wine, it is really a united mind.

With this thought, everyone was clever and waited for the county master's next words, wanting to hear if they could find clues to the murderer, but the result disappointed them.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to everyone, I haven't found any clues about the murderer until now, this is my dereliction of duty." The county lord sighed, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, "Although I don't know who the murderer is, I'm sure he must be among us." ”

"Today, I want to say a word to the murderer." The county magistrate suddenly sneered, "Friend, you have to know that Skynet is magnificent and not leaky, and since it has been done, it is impossible not to leave any traces." I don't know what you mean by changing the wine, maybe you have an opinion on the wine fight, maybe you have an opinion about the participating wineries, or maybe you have an opinion about one of them, I can't guess. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, but your goal has been achieved, and you have managed to ruin this competition. Because of you...... After today's race, those friends who had been waiting for a day no longer had the drink they were looking forward to; Because of you...... So that the outcome of this competition may have changed; Or is it because you...... Let the victimized winery be scared and overwhelmed. ”

"No one is a saint or a sage, and I temporarily thought that you had made a big mistake because you were confused, so I decided to give you another chance." The county magistrate smiled, "At this moment, if you can bravely stand up and admit the mistakes you made, then I can intercede with everyone on your behalf and let them bypass you this time." But if you insist on hiding, when we find you, the consequences are not something you can bear. Friend, you are a person who understands, I hope you can think it through for yourself. Now I'll count three, and if you don't show up after three, then don't blame me for being unkind. ”

As he spoke, the county magistrate stretched out three fingers and said word by word: "One, two, three." ”

After three sounds, the scene was quiet, not to mention that someone stood up, and not even the shadow of a bird was seen.

When the county master said that he wanted the murderer, Xia Yan turned his head to look at Xu Yichen.

Sensing Xia Yan's gaze, Xu Yichen gave him a smile back.

Xia Yan glanced at him, pointed at the county lord again, and opened his mouth at Xu Yichen.

Because the distance was a little far, Xu Yichen couldn't hear what Xia Yan said at all, but according to the shape of her mouth when she spoke, he also guessed what she meant.

After talking for a long time, it was just two words: "surrender".
