Zhu Han's bodyguard came forward and handed over what Liang Ji had written to Zhu Han.

Zhu Han picked up the piece of paper and looked at it intently.

After just one glance, his brows knitted together: "Liang Ji, are you sure you didn't write these things blindly?"

The words on this piece of paper are all small circles.

Zhu Han was even a little suspicious. Could Liang Ji be a person from Bangzi Country who traveled through time?

Otherwise, how could the writing be so similar to the writing of the Bangzi Kingdom in later generations?

At this time, Bangzi Country is one of the sweet potato countries of the Ming Dynasty.

The whole country is eager to kneel down and lick the Ming Dynasty. Those who can learn the Ming Dynasty's writing are all nobles in their country.

I'm not so arrogant as to create my own writing.

Liang Ji didn't know that at this moment, so many thoughts were passing through Zhu Han's mind.

Seeing Zhu Han's brows furrowed, he felt that he had troubled Zhu Han, and suddenly said with some pride: "My lord, please rest assured, I did not deliberately make things difficult for anyone. I can guarantee that the answer is definitely there."

As he said this, Liang Ji gave Li Yunxi a disdainful glance: "I just don't know if some people can tell the correct answer if they blow it so well."

At this time, Liang Ji subconsciously avoided all questions.

He only believes, or in other words, he only wants to believe.

As long as he can defeat Li Yunxi, he will be acquitted today.

Even though Zhu Han didn't give him any hints about this, Liang Ji still believed so persistently.

Let alone Zhu Han, among all the people present, I am afraid that only one person can guess what this guy is thinking.

I casually looked at what Liang Ji had written, but Zhu Han couldn't understand it at all.

I don’t understand how to deduce which symbol from these messy things...

Um...let's just say this thing is some kind of symbol.

Anyway, Zhu Han couldn't guess which symbol corresponded to which number.

However, Zhu Han didn't want to worry too much. Li Yunxi's level of mathematics was simply incomprehensible to Liang Ji and others.

After just a casual glance, Zhu Han handed the piece of paper to Li Yunxi.

"Let's take a look and tell Mr. Liang what these numbers are."

In order to let more people see it, Zhu Han even asked people to hold up what Liang Ji had written and circle it around the high platform.

It was amazing now that most of the people could see what Liang Ji wrote.

Liang Ji's face turned dark. He was a scholar, but Zhu Han deliberately showed the mess he wrote to those idiots.

This is obviously an attempt to ruin his reputation!

What a cruel heart!

Sure enough, after seeing what Liang Ji wrote, the people around him got up in arms.

"No way, this is what scholars write? If it's just this kind of thing, I can write it."

Leng also laughed loudly: "If I just draw circles, I might be more round than what he draws."

However, after all, there were still people who understood what was going on and explained angrily: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This was clearly written like this on purpose, in order to win over the person sent by the prince to check the accounts."

The eyes of many people around him were all focused on the speaker.

Some people who were familiar with it directly asked: "Brother, can you tell me what is going on in this competition? I am still confused now."

A person next to him also nodded and said: "You're right. I still don't understand. What's going on? Can you give us some pointers?"

Many people around him also spoke.

Ordinary people in this era are different from those in later generations.

Especially after the rule of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, there were very few people who really knew Chinese characters.

Feeling the expectant eyes of the people around him, the speaker's vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied: "Since you want to know so much, I will tell you."

Suddenly there were nodding sounds all around.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, there is nothing surprising about this matter."

"Didn't His Royal Highness send someone to check the accounts?"

Everyone around them stared blankly, only nodding in agreement.

"So the problem is that the person sent by the King of England to check the accounts can't read the accounts at all."

Some people around asked in puzzled voices: "Is this impossible? How could the King of England's people not even recognize his words?"

"Yes, yes, there must be something behind this."

Faced with everyone's doubts, the person who spoke laughed and said: "This is because you don't understand. Those really powerful accountants are different from us ordinary people who settle accounts."

"For the sake of convenience, they use a special accounting code, which is different from the characters we ordinary people have seen."

"If you're not from that family, there's no way you can understand it."

Everyone around him had expressions of sudden realization.

A big man scratched his head and said with a smile: "Don't talk about the account you mentioned, I can't even understand ordinary words."

As for a strong man, no one will laugh at him.

After all, the situation of the people around you is actually the same.

If someone knows your name, you can be considered literate.

After that, the man continued to explain to the people around him: "The person who is checking the accounts does not know the account books, so naturally there is no way to check the accounts."

"So no matter what that person says, it's of no use."

"Catch the treacherous and catch the pleasure, catch the thief and catch the dirty."

"If the person who is checking the accounts cannot read the account books, then naturally what he says cannot be counted?"

"The purpose of this competition is to make everyone feel better. The people sent by the prince to check the accounts can understand the account books."

When the people around him heard this, they all looked expectant.

"Sir, you are so powerful, do you think the prince's men can win?"

"The prince is so powerful, so the people sent by his old man must also be very powerful, right?"

Feeling those expectant eyes, the speaker could only smile helplessly.

In fact, he is just an ordinary young scholar. How could he influence the judgment on the high platform?

If he was left to deal with it, corrupt officials like Liang Ji would be killed directly.

But under the current circumstances, he doesn't think highly of Li Yunxi.

"I hope the prince's people can win, but I think the prince's people may not be able to win."

The people around him all lowered their heads in disappointment.

The strong man who just said he didn't know how to read said unconvincedly: "Sir, I think what you said is not quite right. The prince's people are different from us ordinary people. Maybe they are all reincarnations of Wenquxing."

The speaker said helplessly: "I don't know if you have read the rules of this competition."

"The general meaning is this. Everyone in the competition now writes something casually on the paper, and then Li Yunxi is asked to calculate based on these things what words they write."

"The prince has shown us those things just now. Can any of you tell what numbers those things are?"

All those people were completely silent.

They couldn't even read the words, let alone the messy things written by Liang Ji.

The speaker's heart moved, and he smiled and explained to the people: "This is like writing a word or a paragraph for you, and asking you to guess the meaning of this paragraph or these words."

Now, everyone understands the difficulty here.

Immediately everyone took a breath of air.

"Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Why did the prince agree to such an outrageous competition?"

"Is it possible that the prince actually wants to let these corrupt officials go, and just hopes to find a more suitable reason?"

"Absolutely impossible. Even if everyone in the world would do it, His Royal Highness would never do it."

"This gentleman has just said how difficult this competition is. If he didn't have this intention, why would he compete like this?"

While the people were guessing, Li Shuwen and Lu Kaidao also wrote down the words and sent them to Zhu Han respectfully.

Zhu Han glanced at it casually and handed it to Li Yunxi.

What the two of them wrote was at least more neatly written than Liang Ji.

Among them, Li Yunxi just glanced at the things that Lu Kaishou took and threw them back: "The words in Lu Ban's secret technique are used here. I have read them before, but now there is no need to read them again.
