The next three competitions will continue. If Mu Qingwan fails to pass these three tests, then he will still not be able to win the final victory.

As soon as Shen Qingying said these words, the ugly faces of Fu Jinglun and Mu Tianyou, who had just been eliminated, suddenly brightened. They both looked at Mu Qingwan with an expression of watching a good show. Although Mu Qingwan's talent did make them feel inferior,

But when they thought that all their hard work over the years had been wasted because of him, the two of them still felt a little unbalanced.

Sensing their unfriendly glances, Mu Qingwan remained indifferent and quietly waited for Shen Qingying, the host of the fourth session, to come up with the question.

Mu Qingwan's wonderful performance in the previous three games has impressed all the people watching with his charming style. At this moment, they all know that if they miss today's competition, they will regret it for the rest of their lives, so everyone waits with bated breath.

However, after waiting for a long time, Shen Qingying did not come up with a question. Instead, there was a commotion in the crowd, and after a while, the sound of quarrels was heard.

"That's obviously the goose I raised. I kept it in your shop just to watch today's cultural gathering. How did it become yours?"

A loud and urgent voice came out from the crowd, and everyone turned to look. A dark-skinned country man came into view. At this moment, he was dragging another middle-aged man in neat clothes with an angry face.

"Those geese are obviously raised by me. I don't have your geese!" The middle-aged man became a little nervous when he saw everyone looking over, but his words were still sonorous and powerful.

The two sides were arguing. When the country man saw that all the judges on the stage were looking over, he suddenly shook off the middle-aged man and walked to Mu Qingwan, bowed and said:

"Mr. Murong, please comment for me. I came from the countryside and brought a goose to the market today. It happened that you were holding a cultural gathering here. In order to watch the fun, I kept the goose in that place.

In someone’s inn.”

As he said that, he pointed at the middle-aged man, "But I saw it was almost noon just now, and thinking that my wife and baby were still waiting for me to exchange the goose for money, I went back to buy rice for cooking, so I hurried back to his place.

I wanted to get a goose from the inn, but he told me that the goose was his..."

The country man's dark face was filled with anger. As he spoke, he glared angrily at the middle-aged man standing in the audience.

"I don't know a single word, and I can't argue with him. I beg you, Master, to make the decision for me."

As he was about to kneel down, Mu Qingwan hurriedly stopped him. Her mind was already spinning a few times. It seemed that she was asked to solve the case. This must be the question Shen Qingying gave her.

She frowned, and with a plan in mind, she turned to the middle-aged man standing in the audience and said:

"Since you insist that the goose is yours, can you catch all the geese you raised and show them to me? If I judge that they are really your geese, I will naturally return them and help you persuade me.

I persuade this little brother not to pester you anymore."

"Of course you can. I'll walk upright and sit upright. It's up to you to decide."

With that said, he turned around and ordered the boy next to him to go back and catch all the geese at home.

When things developed to this point, everyone understood. It seemed that this was the topic of the fourth legal competition today. They couldn't help but become more interested, and wanted to see how Mu Qingwan would solve this case.

It didn't take long for the boy to catch five geese. Mu Qingwan glanced at it, nodded, and ordered the servant on the side to take the five geese, draw five circles on the ground, and tie the geese separately with ropes.

They were tied and imprisoned in a circle, and a food bowl was placed in front of the goose. A piece of paper, a writing brush, and an inkstone were placed in each circle.

"When the geese are full, they will confess who they belong to."

As soon as Mu Qingwan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. The eliminated talents all looked like they were watching a good show, and the middle-aged man said with a mocking look on his face:

"Sir, although I really admire your talent and knowledge, your method of judging the case is too bizarre. As we all know, geese can't talk, let alone asking them to write confessions on paper.

, isn’t this just making people laugh? It’s a waste of time that you performed so brilliantly just now, it turns out it’s nothing more than that.”

As soon as his words came out, some people immediately nodded in agreement. There was a lot of disappointment in Mu Qingwan's voice. It was hard to accept that such a wonderful game that only happened once in a century ended with such an ending:

"Yes, it is indeed too mysterious to ask Goose to draw a confession by himself."

"This is clearly impossible..."

"It seems that I can't pass this level..."

Faced with everyone's doubts, Mu Qingwan only smiled faintly and said, "It will take some time to wait for Goose to confess, so why not let me play a song for everyone to prevent you from getting bored waiting."

As he spoke, he picked a guzheng, sat down behind the piano table, took a deep breath, and sang:

"The sea is smiling, the tide is rolling across the Taiwan Strait

Ups and Downs, Follow the Waves to Remember the Present Day

The sky smiles, and the world is full of tides

God knows who will lose and who will win.

Jiangshan laughs, misty rain is far away

How much do you know about the common things in the world of mortals?

The breeze laughs, causing loneliness

There is still a trace of pride left in the evening."

As she was singing happily, she suddenly heard a majestic flute sound rising high, with a pure and melodious tone. She immediately followed Mu Qingwan's rhythm. She was secretly curious about who had such superb vocal skills.

He can play it, raise his head slightly, but it's Showa.

At this moment, he was standing proudly facing her in the middle of the stage, holding a jade flute and playing it leisurely. Behind him were purple wisteria petals flying in the sky. His snow-white clothes were flying like the wind, and he was full of jokes and laughter.

The careless peach blossom eyes were now full of wonder and excitement, and there was also a hint of depth that she couldn't understand.

Mu Qingwan also looked back at him with a smile, her delicate fingers kept flying on the strings, and continued to sing:

"The sea is smiling, the tide is rolling across the Taiwan Strait

Ups and Downs, Follow the Waves to Remember the Present Day

The sky smiles, and the world is full of tides

God knows who will lose and who will win.

Jiangshan laughs, misty rain is far away

How much do you know about the common things in the world of mortals?

The common people laugh, no longer lonely

The pride is still smiling foolishly."

…

After singing the song, Mu Qingwan's heart surged, and so did Zhaohe. The two looked at each other, and finally, they looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone was immersed in the unique music just now and could not get back to their senses for a long time. This song truly conquered everyone present. Such literary talent has surpassed the four great talents today.

Leng Yi clearly felt a bone-chilling gaze staring at the two people who were looking at each other unscrupulously. For the sake of his own life, it seemed that he had better remind his master as soon as possible.

"Ahem..." He coughed a few times, leaned forward and whispered in Mu Qingwan's ear:

"Master, that goose..."

Mu Qingwan suddenly remembered that there was still something important to do. She quickly averted her eyes and stood up. She personally came down from the stage to inspect the geese that were kept separately. After looking at them, she smiled slightly and said, "Well, okay, it has already confessed."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly woke up from a dream and looked at Mu Qingwan in shock.

Mu Qingwan pointed to one of the geese and said with certainty, "This is this elder brother's goose." She pointed at the country man who looked stunned.

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he said firmly: "Why do you say this goose belongs to him?"

Mu Qingwan said: "The geese in the countryside eat weeds, so their droppings are green. To determine whether the owner of the goose is from the countryside or the city, just look at the goose droppings and it will be clear. Of these five ducks, only this one is

The feces of one is green, so it must be this goose.”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but praise her. Whether it was the white-haired scholar on the judges' bench, the talented man who was both impressed and envious, or the crowd of people watching, they looked at Mu Qingwan with almost nothing but blank eyes.

He worshiped her as if she were a god.

As soon as the middle-aged man heard this explanation, his face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly admitted his mistake and apologized to the country man.

The fifth test: policy.

For the next competition, everyone waited with bated breath for a bigger surprise, and Mu Qingwan did not disappoint them. This competition was hosted by Cheng Fengge, and the topic was to regard himself as a minister and give a memorial to the emperor to criticize him.

When times are bad, you can give advice and accept words.

Mu Qingwan thought for a while and read aloud Wei Zheng's "Ten Thoughts on Admonishing Taizong":

"I have heard that if you seek the growth of a tree, you must consolidate its roots; if you desire to flow far away, you must dredge up its spring; if you desire the safety of your country, you must accumulate its virtues. If the source is not deep, but if you gaze at the far flow of the stream, seek for it if the root is not solid.

The tree is long, the virtue is not thick, but the country's security is thought of. Although I am a fool, I know it is impossible, how much worse than a wise man? A ruler should value the sacred weapon and live in a large territory. He does not think about living in peace and thinks of danger, abstains from extravagance and uses frugality. This is also the case.

The roots are used to make trees grow taller, and the sources are plugged in order to make the flow of trees grow longer.

All heads of state are destined by the sky. Those who have a good beginning will be successful, and those who can overcome the end will overwhelm the few. Is it easy to get something but difficult to keep it? When you are worried about Yin, you must treat your subordinates with all your heart; once you have achieved your ambition, you will indulge in pride.

If you are sincere, Wu and Yue will become one, and if you are arrogant, your flesh and blood will be the road. Although Dong Zhi thought it was a severe punishment, and shocked him with power and anger, he still refused to be benevolent, and was respectful but not convinced. The resentment is not great, but the only person to be feared is to capsize a boat.

You should be careful about boats.

If you are running in a car and the rope is rotten, can it be careless? As a gentleman, if you can sincerely see what you want, you will think and know enough to warn yourself; when you are about to do something, you will think and know enough to calm others; if you think of high dangers, you will think modestly and rush to shepherd yourself; if you are afraid,

If it is overflowing, then you will think about the rivers and seas. If you are happy, you will think about the three drives to make it. If you are worried and slack, you will think about starting carefully and respecting the end. If you are worried about being blocked, you will think about humility to accept the things below. If you are afraid of slander and evil, you will think about rectifying your body.

Destroy evil; if kindness is given, I will reward you without joy; if I am punished, I will punish you with indiscriminate punishment.

In summary, these ten thoughts, nine virtues, simple things can be done, and the good ones should be followed. Then the wise will do their best, the brave will do their best, the benevolent will spread their benefits, and the trustworthy will follow their loyalty; civil and military affairs will compete, and the monarch and his ministers will have nothing to do.

, you can enjoy the pleasure of traveling in Henan, and you can support the longevity of pine trees and trees. The sound of the harp and the arching of the bow will be transformed without words. Why bother to work hard and think hard, perform duties on behalf of others, and use clever ears and eyes, which is a failure of the great path of doing nothing?"

The dark eyes hidden in the crowd became frighteningly bright as they looked down, looking at Mu Qingwan as if he had just met her for the first time.

How many more surprises will this demon-like woman bring to him?!
