"I'll talk about the rules of the game, you have to cooperate with me, everyone has to say something......"

Li Qingxian explained the rules of the game in detail, and everyone suddenly realized after listening to it.

After a little rehearsal, everyone went to Yuqing Palace.

When I entered the door, I saw the square in front of the main hall of Yuqing Palace, there were many people standing, guards, palace maids and eunuchs, a total of more than 40 people.

Li Qingxian glanced at everyone, and finally found two candidates.

One is the plain-looking protector, who is now wearing a eunuch's costume and standing with the eunuch.

The other candidate was slightly chubby and had a round face, but his face was stiff and straight.

Li Qingxian had seen this candidate, but he had no impression, he only knew that this person had teams in the outer city and the inner city, but before entering the palace, alone, like the protector, the people in his team died.

I suspected that this person was a protector, but in the end, it was deduced that it had nothing to do with the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and he was not one of the eighteen sons.

Shen Xiaoyi secretly said: "This person used a disguise magic weapon, and even his eyes changed. I don't know who it is, but I don't feel malice, I just tried it with a life weapon, and he didn't react, so he shouldn't have stopped us. ”

Li Qingxian nodded.

Mao Shigao sat on a chair outside the main entrance of the main hall of Yuqing Palace, and two little eunuchs waited behind him.

On Mao Shigao's side, there stood a stone lion with a strange shape, more than one person tall, with a large black mouth.

Holding the purple clay pot in his hand, he slowly glanced at everyone, and said in a sharp voice: "On the orders of the crown prince, our Yuqing Palace is going to play a game called the Quartet." Everyone dispersed. ”

Everyone didn't know why, so they retreated one after another, lining up on three sides of the square.

Mao Shigao glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Candidates enter." ”

Li Qingxian and the others hesitated, and slowly walked to the middle of the venue, and the round-faced candidate also walked over.

The rest remained motionless.

Mao Shigao smiled coldly and said: "The order has been ordered, if someone does not obey, then don't blame our family for inviting out the prince token to suppress Xiaoxiao." Not out yet! ”

Mao Shigao snorted lightly, the expressionless protector frowned, slowly walked out, and walked to the side of Li Qingxian and the others, with a blank face.

At first glance, both the round-faced examinee and the protector are the same, both with a straight face and a stiff face.

Mao Shigao glanced at the Dao Protector and sneered, "Xiao Yezi, you also want to play games?" ”

"The slave obeys the prince's orders." Protectors are humane.

Everyone glanced at the protector, and then looked at Li Qingxian.

Both have the surname Ye.

Shen Xiaoyi glanced at Li Qingxian suspiciously, and said, "It's weird, how can it be a different surname to protect the Dao?" It stands to reason that it should be the same surname as the protector, and I thought that the protector's surname was Hao. Be careful, it's a little wrong. ”

Li Qingxian didn't say a word, and glanced at the protector again.

The protector was in a daze, and no one looked at him.

The round-faced candidate didn't hold back, and secretly glanced at the protector surnamed Ye.

Mao Shigao said: "All the guards are lined up around, if anyone breaks the rules, listen to our family, and divide the corpse with a knife!" ”

The guards immediately drew their swords and weapons to protect the hospital.

"The rest of the monkey cubs and palace maids, let's go out."

Those eunuchs and palace maids were puzzled and left one after another.

In the end, there were only eight young eunuchs and palace maids left in front of Mao Shigao, four blue-clothed eunuchs, and four green-clothed palace maids.

When they looked, they saw that there were words written on the chests and backs of the four people, which were east, west, north, south, and each of them was the same.

Mao Shigao said: "These four children each have a handkerchief in their hands. Eight handkerchiefs, four blank, and the other four are written on them, east, west, north and south. Next, they have to take turns to choose one of the children to participate in the game, and choose one of the children with the same handkerchief as the word on their body. If you choose the right three times, you will be rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and given a first-class guard. First-class guards, that is higher than the status of our family. ”

Mao Shigao paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, and continued: "If you are wrong, walk to the lion, put your hand in it, and choose whether to cut off your body or your conscience." If you give up, you can choose another one, but you can't change it again. ”

The round-faced candidate blinked lightly and breathed heavily.

The protector's brow gathered and dissipated.

Li Qingxian secretly observed, and when he saw the change in the expressions of the two, he knew that the two still believed the most.

"Alright, game on!" Mao Shigao clapped his hands lightly.

I saw four eunuchs and four palace maids and children gathered together, holding eight handkerchiefs in sixteen hands, slowly turning in circles, and singing a song in their mouths: "East Palace East, East Palace West ......"

After singing, the eight children closed together to block the crowd, and then each held a handkerchief rolled into a ball, and ran in all directions, and finally lined up in the square in front of the temple, facing away from the crowd, holding handkerchiefs in their hands

Mao Shigao closed his eyes, grabbed a walnut in his hand, and threw it into the sky.

With a snap, the walnut fell to the ground.

The crowd remained motionless, and their whole bodies stiffened.

Mao Shigao opened his eyes and pointed to one of Li Qingxian's team: "You are closest to the walnut, you go." ”

The man looked at Li Qingxian with a sad face and a plea for help.

Li Qingxian shook his head helplessly.

Many sighed softly, not daring to speak.

The man had to walk slowly, walked for a while, pointed to a little eunuch with the word "Nan" written on his back and said, "It's him." ”

The little eunuch smiled and turned his head, and said with a smile: "You chose the wrong one." As he spoke, he opened the handkerchief, on which was written the word "north".

The man looked sad and looked at Li Qingxian again.

"Go, put your hand in the lion's mouth." Mao Shi Gao Road.

The man sighed, walked up to the stone lion with his head down, put his arm in his mouth, and his heart beat suddenly.

"Broken or conscience?"

"Conscience." That's humane.

At this time, a strange sound came from the lion's mouth.

"Your mother's dowry girl, Jin Ling, but after you defiled it, you killed her?"

The man's face changed drastically, his head bowed, his back to the crowd, and he did not move.

The rest of the people looked at each other in amazement.

The round-faced candidate thought for a while, and suddenly realized that it is normal for a normal big family to have an affair with a maid, but if it is a marrying maid, it is basically his father's roommate, and the son steals Lao Tzu's woman, which is a big rebellion, and if it is passed out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"But you defiled Jin Ling and killed her, yes, or no?" The voice was hollow and dull, as if it came out of a cave.

After a while, the man sighed and said, "Yes." ”

"Let's go back." Mao Shi Gao Road.

The man turned slowly, his face was blue and white, and he walked back with his head down, not daring to look at everyone.

"Go on."

Mao Shigao threw walnuts again to select people, and this time he chose one of Li Qingxian's team, who also found the wrong person and chose to have a conscience.

"Have you ever committed adultery with your sister-in-law, or even consulted against your brother?" The lion's mouth made a hollow sound again.

The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after a long time, he said helplessly: "Yes." ”

"Brute!" One of Li Qingxian's team scolded in a low voice.

Li Qingxian glanced at everyone and found that they either looked angry, surprised, cold-faced, or shook their heads lightly, and their acting skills were profound.

Mao Shigao threw walnuts one after another, and the fourth walnut was thrown in front of the round-faced candidate.
