Chapter 257: The loser does not lose the formation
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other. Wan Qingtao's temper disappeared quietly. He scratched his beard and was obviously a little puzzled, "Where did you find Mr. Wen? This kind of person should not be impressed by money. What can Mr. Wen have?"
Such a big deal?"
Yin Jizhen: "Grandpa, you can't be wrong, it's him. I met him not long ago and we just talked."
Wan Shengqun on the side suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked: "Is it the 'Brother Lin' that I met on the Biqiao before?"
Yin Jizhen smiled bitterly, "He calls me 'Brother Wang' and I call him 'Brother Lin'. There is nothing wrong with that."
Wan Shengqun sighed, "No wonder you said he is a peerless man. From his temperament, you really can't tell that he is the prostitute. He is so low-key."
Wan Qingtao: "That's not right. Only the children of each family can participate. Why should he get involved in this matter? No matter how talented he is, he cannot interfere in violation of regulations!"
Yin Jizhen: "People have said that if the Wan family can take advantage of me and come to me, the Wen family can be shameless. They say that the Wen family has many descendants and it is easy to find a few daughters to make do with it."
Wan Qingtao touched his beard, frowned and said: "Wen Lao'er is too insidious. He has remained calm until now. This is because he deliberately wants me to look good in public." Suddenly he took a deep breath and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.
After a while, "Don't be afraid, grandson-in-law, you may not lose to others, feel free to compete boldly."
Yin Jizhen sighed: "Grandpa, we have to admit that some people are really gifted by nature. Talent is spiritual. Even if you are exhausted, you will not be able to match it. I have seen his handiwork, and I do
Not as good as him."
Wan Qingtao glared, "Why do you need to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? We are all men. We are afraid of what he will do. It depends on whether we live or die. If we lose, we have nothing to say. There is no reason to surrender before the fight starts."
Yin Jizhen sighed again: "Grandpa, isn't the Capital Examination a competition? It's the same questions, the same answers, this time it's just a different question. The winner has already been decided in the capital, so why should I go on stage again to take the consequences?
disgrace.
He is different from others. When I lost, everyone thought I was ridiculous, laughed at me for not knowing my own abilities, and laughed at me for humiliating myself.
If he loses, do you think people in the world will believe it easily? They will definitely feel that there is something wrong with it, and they may even suspect that the court put pressure on him.
Grandpa, you should have heard about his background at some point. He was a popular figure next to Master Zhongcheng, the censor. Master Zhongcheng still mentions him from time to time. I am now being used in the censorship, which has caused Master Zhongcheng to look at me differently.
It's really not necessary.
As long as I compete with him, no matter whether I win or lose, I will immediately be surrounded by rumors all over the world, which is very detrimental to me. Grandpa, I can't compete with him, both emotionally and rationally. It is the best choice for me to quit.
"
After hearing this, Wan Shengqun also nodded and said: "Grandpa, this is what Ji Zhen said from the bottom of his heart, and it is indeed reasonable. Since you will still lose even if you play, there is really no need to try to take advantage of Ji Zhen's reputation.
, if the matter gets serious, then it may not only be Ji Zhen who will be the focus of attention from the world, but Wan Shi will also be the one to watch."
"Alas!" Wan Qingtao sighed helplessly, finally showing a subdued look, "Forget it, if you want to blame us, it's our fault for not hearing about the old man's insidiousness. We shouldn't have made the move too early, and he was tricked by him. Go ahead and let the outside world
Take down the Jizhen brand."
Then he raised his brows, regained his spirit like a fighting cock, strode to the table, pulled out the dagger, put it in his hand, and left shouting, "I want to see what that Tanhua Lang looks like.
I have to remind him to be careful of Mr. Wen's insidious thief."
The meaning is obvious. Even if you lose, you still have to go give Mr. Wen some eye drops.
He walked out the door and strode away in the corridor.
Wan Shengqun hurried out, first asked the housekeeper to remove Yin Jizhen's participation sign, and then led people to chase the old man...
On the other side of the stage, Wan's people came out of the building and communicated with the people in charge of the cultural meeting. The latter looked surprised.
After confirming the situation again and again, the administrator went on stage, took a picking pole, walked to the background wall, picked up the Yin Jizhen brand in full view, then walked to the front of the stage, picked up the brand and flashed it in a circle for everyone to see, loudly.
Said: "Yin Jizhen quits!"
"ah?"
"quit?"
"What the hell? Why did he quit?"
"Isn't that right? I came all the way and came here early to take a seat just for him. Why should I quit when I'm so good!"
"You don't think you have any opponents, do you?"
"That person's status is there. It's not appropriate for him to be a dignified official compared to a group of commoners."
"Could it be that Wan signed him up without his consent?"
The heated discussion behind him was like a tidal wave. Yu Qing was not surprised at all. It was not surprising at all. This was his masterpiece, helping the Wen family to block Yin Jizhen.
Among the group of people, Wen Xin, who was dressed as a man, was surprised. Perhaps because of their suspicions, the three of them pretended to look back at the discussion behind them, but in fact they were quietly watching Yu Qing's reaction, but did not see any reaction.
In fact, all three of them doubted whether this matter had anything to do with Yu Qing.
On Wen's terrace, Wen Qian was stunned for a while, then turned around and asked, "Kuizi, what's going on? Why did Wan let Yin Jizhen withdraw?"
Wen Kui shook his head, "I don't know, I'll send someone to find out more." He turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Wen Miao called him, "Yin Jizhen has withdrawn. We can hang up Yan An here and send someone to recruit Yan An quickly."
In order to prevent anyone from saying weird things, such as saying that he really didn't dare to play for the Wen family because he was afraid of Yin Ji, Wen Yan'an simply didn't come to see the grand occasion, and just ignored it.
"Okay." Wen Kui responded and quickly made arrangements.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the corridor outside, causing them to turn around one after another.
Wan Qingtao came with his people, but was stopped by Wen's guards. He was not allowed to come over, and it was impossible for him to break in without permission.
He held out a dagger in his hand, gesturing as a warning, "Get out of the way, everyone, get out of my way. If anyone hurts me, I'll see who can bear the responsibility!" After that, he rushed forward, and when the guard stopped him, he
He actually took a dagger and stabbed himself, leaving a gash in his clothes.
He only scratched his clothes and did not hurt his skin. He was very measured in his attack, but it still shocked the guards who stopped Wen.
If this person really scratched himself during the collision, it would be hard to explain. What if the leader of the Wan clan was injured? Being able to challenge the Wen clan's background is not child's play. I'm afraid that the Wen clan will not.
It’s not enough to give an explanation, otherwise the two families may start a direct war.
One person acted randomly, forcing Wen's group of guards to retreat.
Fortunately, Wen Kui intervened in time to save the siege. He said: "Chief Wan, please put down your weapons before you can go see our master."
Click! Wan Qingtao swung the dagger and stuck it directly into the wall. He pointed at the dagger and sneered, "Put the things here. Who dares to steal my things?"
Then he swaggered through with a few people.
No matter how many people there were, he didn't let him take him there. He turned his back and waved his hands to indicate that it was okay, and asked the others to wait outside.
Wen Miao and others on the terrace had already gotten up and returned to the house to wait.
When he saw the big old guy coming in, Wen Mao's old face sank, "Old man, do you want to be a shrew again?"
"Haha!" Wan Qingtao spat on the ground, looked around the room, and sneered: "I have no interest in you, a sinister old thief. Where is the world-famous Tan Hua Lang? Where is Ash Heng? Wan came to visit
, please come out and see me!"
Ash Heng? The group of people looked at each other, unable to understand what the old man was causing trouble.
Wen Qian frowned and said, "Old man, are you drunk, why are you talking nonsense to me?"
"Did you see? This is called pretending to be confused!" Wan Qingtao pointed at Wen Kuang's nose and gritted his teeth and said to his grandson: "This kind of person is the most insidious and despicable. He is a bitch and still builds a memorial arch.
Villain!"
Wen Qian became angry and said, "Old man, you are spouting shit. You made it clear that you are here to cause trouble, right?"
Wan Shengqun: "Clan Chief Wen, please forgive me for being disrespectful to this junior, but it's meaningless for you to do this. Yin Jizhen has given Tanhua Lang enough face to withdraw from the competition. I saw them with my own eyes when they met at Biqiao not long ago.
Regarding the Wen family, Tanhua Lang himself told Yin Jizhen that a person like him would not lie about such a thing, would he? My grandfather had no other intention, he just came to visit because of his reputation. To say the least,
It’s up to Tan Hwa Lang to decide whether to see him or not, so what’s going on if you help him refuse guests?”
"Well said!" Wan Qingtao patted his grandson on the shoulder with his big hand, his face full of appreciation.
The Wen clan members looked at each other in shock and confusion.
Wen Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, then took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Send off guests!"
Wan Qingtao was furious and pointed at him and yelled, "Old thief! You have no right to make decisions for Tanhua Lang!"
Wen Qian said flatly: "Kuizi, someone has brought someone here to seek wealth and murder. Report it to the official!"
"Yes." Wen Kui agreed.
"You..." Wan Qingtao was furious. He pointed at the other person and gave him some instructions, as if he was planning on you. Then he turned around with an angry groan and said, "Let's go!"
Several followers immediately followed him and left. In the corridor, he pulled out the dagger from the wall. The blade of the dagger scraped his palm repeatedly, and he left with his teeth itching with hatred.
In the room, Wen Qiang looked at the clan elder who was hesitant to speak. When Wen Kui, who was "seeing off the guests", came back, he asked: "Do you think what they said is true or false?"
Wen Kui hesitated and said: "It doesn't seem to be a lie. There is no need to blame the world-famous Tanhua Lang for the trouble. Besides, it was really strange that Yin Jizhen quit the competition just now. But, how could the most talented person in the world help him for no reason?
Shall we force Yin Jizhen back?"
Wen Miao: "Check, immediately, as soon as possible!"
downstairs.
Wan Qingtao, who came downstairs, suddenly said to his grandson: "Send word that all the disciples of our Wan family who participated in the cultural gathering will withdraw from the cultural gathering and let them play by themselves. We are losing anyway, so we might as well give the Wen family a good face!"
Wan Shengqun was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and then he nodded repeatedly and stretched out his hand to ask his grandfather to turn around.
However, Wan Qingtao pushed his hand away and looked at the competition platform set up outside. Instead of turning around and going back, he walked directly across and boarded the competition platform in full view of everyone.
Everyone on and off the stage looked at this group of people strutting on the stage in astonishment. The families on the terraces on both sides were also astonished, wondering what the Wan family was up to.
Boom!
The incense burner and the shelf placed on the stage were kicked over by the passing patriarch Wan Clan. He waved his hands and shouted: "Quit, Wan clan quits, let you compete."
He dropped his words and walked away with a group of people, losing no one but not losing the formation.
The scene suddenly became silent. Wen Miao on the terrace stared down, her face darkened.
