The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 681 The opening of the event

Every year, one or two dark horses stand out in the Hundred Flowers Contest. Since then, they have been on a steady rise. Naturally, there are countless people participating. This year is no exception, and it is even unprecedentedly grand.

On the sixth day of July, in the early morning, more than a dozen huge painting boats at the ferry had docked on the shore, ready to set off at any time.

Nearly [-] talents came from all over the country and stood on the shore, preparing to take the assessment. Only those who passed the assessment could board the boat and participate in the grand event held on the water.

Because of the relationship between Shen Jue, the city lord, Yu Qing and the others boarded the boat directly.

On the boat, Yu Qing looked at the talents who participated in the assessment, and said casually: "How long will it take to be assessed in this way?"

Shen Jue immediately explained: "In fact, the assessment is also very fast, and the questions given are the same. This question not only assesses their talent and learning, but also their resilience. Draw a boat and participate in the next contest."

oh!There was a hint of understanding in Yu Qing's eyes, and he said lightly: "I don't know what the topic is, let's refer to it too?"

"The questions are all here, take a look." Shen Jue sent several copies of the questions to the few people present, looked at the few people who were watching the questions as if they were watching a play, and secretly smiled inwardly.

"City Lord Shen, the questions for this assessment were given by the two majesties, right?" Yu Qing glanced at the questions and looked up at Shen Jue.

"Yes, it is indeed the question from the two majesties... Hey, how did you know?" Shen Jue was a little surprised by Yu Qing, with such fierce eyes, he knew at a glance that the question was from the majesty.

However, the two His Majesty's questions are really tricky!
It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to answer the simplest first question. Needless to say, the rest of the questions naturally became more difficult as they went on, and even he was not sure to answer them all.

I really don't know how long it took those self-proclaimed smart people on the shore to come up with the answers. Thinking about those questions, I couldn't help sweating for them.

Yu Qing looked at the question in his hand, pointed to the last question and said: "The last question is true."

"What? It's true." Shen Jue was surprised.

Yu Qing said with a faint smile: "This case happened not long ago in the Chinese emperor's dynasty. Because the murderer could not be caught, Emperor Shang recalled Princess Jinghua, who is our empress, back to China."

Shen Jue looked at the question, sighed lightly and said, "If this question is the first question, it is estimated that few people can pass the examination."

"Master Shen, do you know the answer?" Shangguan Luo looked at Shen Jue expectantly.

"Sorry, I don't know." Shen Jue said without hesitation.

"What?" Gong Le looked at Xie in surprise, and said puzzledly: "Even you don't know, how will the winner be decided then?"

Shen Jue smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, this is a reasoning question. Whoever can convince the public with his answer will be the winner. There is no absolute answer."

"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Gong Le instantly revealed a surprised expression.

"The first question is not too difficult. I think you already know the answer. Just look at the situation on the shore." Yu Qing said disapprovingly. The first question was asked by the Emperor of Heaven, and it was not about talent but resilience.

Those who read dead books, it is difficult!
It is difficult for those who are not physically fit!
Unresponsive, difficult!
At this time, the shore was already crowded with people, and all the talents were trying their best to squeeze to the question place, wanting to be the first to get the question.

Hong Feng also followed the crowd, trying his best to squeeze to the question place, and when he was about to squeeze to the question place, a very thin voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Fool, why are you going to join in the fun?" , immediately scroll to the answering station."

Hearing the other party's words, Hong Feng's face froze, and she immediately cursed: "Fuck me." The dead woman wanted to bully him again, so how to answer the questions without taking the questions.

Although he kept cursing in his mouth, the pace of pushing forward had stopped, and under certain circumstances, he would move without moving.

At the question, a middle-aged man cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, the question will come out soon, please look up."

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads one after another, only to find that there was a huge piece of cloth hanging above the place where the question was written. On the cloth, the questions of the assessment were written in big characters.

When Hong Feng heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she let the dead woman be right again.At the moment, he didn't even look at the questions, and hurriedly squeezed outside, running towards the answering place.

I could only hear someone reading the topic loudly from behind: "The Ministry of Punishment is going to execute a group of death row prisoners. The adults of the Ministry of Justice decided to let the death row prisoners choose their own way of death. The method of choice is: the death row prisoner can say a word arbitrarily, if it is true If it is a lie, it will be executed by Ling Chi. None of the death row prisoners wanted to be executed by Ling Chi, so they racked their brains. One of the smart death row prisoners said: If I say a word, you can neither kill me Beheading, you can't execute me Ling Chi, what should I do? The Ministry of Criminal Justice said: If this is the case, I will release you. The wise death row prisoner said a word, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice let him go."

The middle-aged man who spoke just now, after reading the question, said loudly again: "The question of this assessment is: What did the death row prisoner say to make the Lord of the Ministry of Punishment release him?"

The people present couldn't help being dumbfounded when they heard the question.

What kind of topic is this? Then they studied hard, read books, and prepared for a year, wouldn't it be a waste of time.

But some people came up with the answer quickly, and when they wanted to squeeze in to answer the question, they couldn't help complaining when they turned around, there were too many people-they couldn't squeeze out!

But at the answering place, a red figure hurt their eyes.

The red figure was none other than Hong Feng who worked so hard to get out of the question and ran to the answer.

Looking back at the title, a smug smile immediately appeared on his face, and he picked up the pen and said loudly: "One sentence can determine life and death, so this is the title!"

Haha ...

Hearing his words, the other people who had already thought of the answer but couldn't get out felt like going crazy.

Hong Feng's words showed that he hadn't thought of the answer at all before speaking out, and he didn't even know the question, because his first reaction was not to read the question, but to preempt the order of the answer.

Thinking of this, all the talented scholars hurled insults regardless of their image.

Damn it, let this kid take the lead.

Because this question is actually not too difficult, the key is time.

There are 5000 places, but there are nearly [-] people here. The number of places is limited. The sooner the person who writes the answer, the better the chance to win the qualification to participate in the event.

Thinking of this, those people all stared at Hongfeng fiercely, but there was nothing they could do.

Although the other party's methods are a bit hooligan and nasty, it also shows that they have a flexible mind. No matter what the topic is, they should occupy the position first and then reason. At least they will not be like them now, who know the answer but are powerless.

Hong Feng ignores all the eyes that want to kill him, as long as he can participate in the Hundred Flowers Selection, he doesn't bother to care about you.

At this moment, I was thinking about taking the problem back, and testing that dead woman who thought she was smart, to see how long it would take her to solve this problem.

Just when he was thinking about the answer with the pen, suddenly a black shadow appeared at the answering place like a ghost.

I saw that the person who came was hidden in a black cloak, so that people couldn't see his face clearly, only a general wheel could be seen.

This is not the key point, the key point is that the person who came was holding another pen that was stained with black juice.

Hongfeng didn't expect that someone would prepare his own pen and ink, and when he came back to his senses, the person who came had already written one step ahead of him.

damned.

Hong Feng yelled, without saying a word, picked up a pen and quickly wrote down the answer.

After Hongfeng finished writing the answer, he couldn't wait to see the person who snatched his No.1. Hearing the person at the answering desk said it was correct, he put down his pen, took the sign proving that he was qualified to board the painting boat, and ran outside again.

Unexpectedly, before he took a few steps, he was grabbed by the collar from behind, and when he was about to yell at him, he heard the voice that often appeared in nightmares: "Fool, where are you going?"

Hong Feng turned her head immediately, her eyes widened involuntarily.

The one who grabbed him was the one who snatched his No.1 just now, the person hiding in a black cloak, he turned out to be that dead woman disguised as him.

Injustice!
Originally, he wanted to test her, but he didn't expect her to snatch his No.1.

Hong Feng was extremely angry, goddamn woman, why didn't she go to die, woo woo...

The speed of the assessment was very fast, and the [-] places would soon be filled, and a group of talented people vying for the places boarded the huge and extremely luxurious painting boat docked by the ferry, and set off for the center of the water area.

Due to the special geographical environment of Guancheng, the water area around the ferry in Guancheng is very vast, which looks like a vast lake with thousands of miles of waves, but on this water area with a water depth of nearly a hundred feet, there is a large area that can accommodate nearly ten thousand people. The island of man.

Because usually the water surface is very humid, it is not easy to find the existence of this small island, and because of the current, only the seventh day of July to the fifteenth day of July can you successfully land on the island, so this small The existence of the island has always been a secret.

"What are you talking about, this year's Hundred Flowers Selection is not held on the water, but on a small island." On the boat, Yu Qing suddenly heard the news, and couldn't help but scream out.

Shen Jue nodded helplessly, Yu Qing's eyes turned cold, staring at the map on the table, an inconspicuous dot in the blue area, and looking at the distance, a smoky water area, her brows were tightly furrowed. There is actually an unknown island in this water area.

This time he miscalculated.

It is too late to learn about Xiao Dao now, and he said angrily, "Why did you tell me such important news now?"

Shen Jue was taken aback by Yu Qing's anger, and said embarrassingly: "This small island is privately owned, and it belongs to a local wealthy businessman. Because the wealthy businessman doesn't want the island to be destroyed, its existence has always been a secret. You know it. There are not many people. The organizers of the grand event were also afraid that the water beasts would come out to cause trouble, so the location of the grand event was suddenly changed to a small island, and even I was notified just now."

At this point, Yu Qing was also very powerless, and said lightly: "Do you know who the owner of the island is?"

Shen Jue said apologetically: "I only know that he is a wealthy businessman, but no one knows his specific identity." After speaking, he was embarrassed for a while, because in the area under his jurisdiction, there was such a big mistake.

This small island is completely out of his sight, if it is used by someone to do something that is not bright, then he will lose his job, thinking about it, he has an urge to cry.
