Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lies

Zheng Luya was taken aback: This broken equipment always drops the chain at critical moments! I don't know if Wang Xiaosi heard what he just said. If he doesn't get the message in time, then the next thing is a disaster! A combination of complex emotions such as nervousness, worry, uneasiness, and anxiety instantly filled Zheng Luya's entire heart, and sweat was slightly soaked on her forehead.

Compared with her complex mental activities, Wang Xiaosi's state at this time is also simple - her brain is blank!

Just ten seconds ago, Wang Xiaosi only heard Zheng Luya say the word "I remember" from the earphones, and then the signal was cut off with a click, and he couldn't hear anything. He knew very well in his heart that this must be another dialer disconnection. Kill a thousand knives in the equipment! Wang Xiaosi couldn't help but curse secretly, and hurriedly tried to redial Zheng Luya's signal.

However, in the blink of an eye, he dialed twice in quick succession, but both failed, either because the space-time movement here completely interfered with the communication signal, or because one of them had malfunctioning in his equipment. In short, the method of secretly colluding and concealing the world just now can no longer work.

The palace maid standing next to her looked at Wang Xiaosi curiously, and couldn't help but ask with her eyes: What is the answer? Wang Xiaosi turned a blind eye to this, staring straight ahead with his eyes, his brain was running rapidly, and he was thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, Zhao Liang also saw that something was wrong, and he was about to speak, but he heard Bao Xi speak first: "Little Four, what's wrong?" Can't answer this question? ”

When Wang Xiaosi heard this, he quickly leaned down and bowed down, and replied tremblingly: "Please forgive the queen, Xiaosi is worried that after answering this question, he will be misunderstood and killed, so he doesn't dare to say it." ”

"Oh? How could this happen? King Zhou You's tone was slightly unkind, and he asked, "Tell me, why was you misunderstood and killed?" ”

Wang Xiaosi straightened up, still maintaining a kneeling posture, and said, "The king doesn't know anything. At the beginning, Xiaoya and I made a private agreement for life, and the two parents had a long time to quarrel about it before they reluctantly agreed to this marriage. Therefore, there are also many differences between the two sides on the matter of the dowry. My family said that they had given them a lot of gifts and property, but Xiaoya's mother's family didn't admit it, and always insisted that there was only a little. Queen Fang asked, Xiao Si secretly pondered, I am afraid that Xiao Ya and I may not understand this confused account, so I am worried that I will say it casually, because the two of them have different statements and will cause murder. ”

Zhao Liang and Zheng Luya secretly admired in their hearts when they heard this, Wang Xiaosi really had a bright brain and reacted very quickly, and they made up such a reason in an instant to resolve the crisis in front of them.

Sure enough, King Zhou You listened to his explanation, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I see." Your worries are not unreasonable, the widow has heard before, in the people often because of the dowry and unpleasant things, I think most of them are like you, the two families have their own opinions. Why don't we change the question? As he spoke, King Zhou You looked at Bao Xi beside him and asked for her opinion.

How dare Zhao Liang let this test game continue, and was about to say something to stop it, but he heard Bao Xi say: "No need to ask." ”

As soon as they heard her say this, Zhao Liang, Wang Xiaosi, and Zheng Luya couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, glad that God blessed them and let them tide over the difficulties without danger. But unexpectedly, Bao Xi's next sentence shocked the three of them: "The warrior in front of the palace listened to the order and tied these two people up for me!" ”

At this time, even King Zhou You was a little confused, and asked, "Beauty, why is this?" ”

With a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she first glanced at Zhao Liang intentionally or unintentionally, and then explained to King Zhou You: "King, these two guys pretend to be smart, and I tried to make a mistake at once. You must know that Yesai is a small barbarian state, unlike my Central Plains country, which pays attention to all kinds of etiquette for weddings and funerals, so they don't have any rules like a dowry at all. And in them, women have a higher status than men, and wives tend to treat their husbands as their own private property. This woman said that it is reasonable for her family to let a man sell her body because of debts, and now she can still understand that she has traveled thousands of miles to find a husband. But to say that the man gave a dowry in order to marry her is pure nonsense! ”

When King Zhou You heard this, his face immediately changed, and he stared at Wang Xiaosi, who was also shocked, and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on, you honestly recruited the widow!" ”

At this time, four warriors in front of the palace had already come over, pinched Wang Xiaosi and Zheng Luya's arms, and suppressed the two. Wang Xiaosi's hands were reversed, and he endured the pain in his shoulders and elbows, and grinned with his teeth: "The king spares his life, the little one is wronged!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jian Li, who was standing behind Zhao Liang, asked in a low voice, "Ni Mei, do you want to act immediately?" ”

Zhao Liang hurriedly shook his head, at this time, everyone in Yuxia Palace was wary because of Wang Xiaosi's different identity, and King Zhou You no longer looked like he was drunk just now. It's too difficult to do it now, and a careless move may backfire. He lowered his voice and said behind him, "Calm down, let's see the situation first." ”

King Zhou You urged again, forcing the kneeling two to come from the truth. But Zheng Luya lowered her head and didn't say a word, and Wang Xiaosi kept shouting and begging for mercy, but he refused to tell the truth.

"It seems that if you don't move the punishment, you won't be able to tell the truth." King Zhou You lost his patience and snorted coldly: "This is the queen's bedroom, you can't be soiled by traitors, let's take these two people back to the prison for the time being, and we will clean them up tomorrow morning." The widow doesn't believe that he can't pry open his mouth? ”

Zhao Liang was worried about the safety of Wang Xiaosi and Zheng Luya, and said busily: "Wang, little sister, I have something to ask for." Xiao Si is my favorite, if there is a problem with his identity, I am afraid that it will hurt my face if I say it. So, can these two be interrogated by me personally? ”

King Zhou You shook his head: "Cousin, don't mention this matter again." Because it's related to you, you should avoid suspicion. The widow has already thought about it, and tomorrow he will let the doctor Yu Shifu interrogate the two of them. You don't know, there is a top torture master under Father Yushi, who has designed nine kinds of torture to bruise bones and rub the skin, known as the world's most vicious poison. I heard that there were very few people in the world who could withstand his full set of torture techniques, so I obediently surrendered after a few attempts or two. ”

Zhao Liang's scalp was numb when he heard this, and he almost wanted to change his mind, so he immediately led Su Li and Shen Changlie to rob people. However, things changed too unexpectedly, and many of the previously agreed plans could not be guaranteed because of Wang Xiaosi's absence, so that Zhao Liang did not dare to take this big risk in a hurry. Because there is only one chance to kidnap King Zhou You, once he misses it, and at the same time makes the other party vigilant, then I am afraid that he will no longer be able to successfully capture this traverser.

Seeing Zhao Liang bowing his head and being silent, King Zhou You thought that he had acquiesced in his arrangement, so he ordered: "Escort everyone away!" Don't worry, cousin, it's not your fault. Today, I am fortunate to have discovered the suspiciousness of Xiao Si, so that he will not cause immeasurable harm to you in the future. So, we should be happy. Come on, come on, have a drink with the widow! ”

"Can I be happy?" Zhao Liang said a little angrily: "When you gave him to me, didn't you investigate it properly?" It's really depressing to be able to get up and down now. He knew that with Zheng Ni's identity, whether in the palace or in the court, she was extremely special and noble. So Zhao Liang deliberately made his temperament show his dissatisfaction, firstly, in line with his own identity, and secondly, he could also test the other party's reaction.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, not only King Zhou You was embarrassed, but even Bao Xi couldn't sit still, and said apologetically: "Sister, don't be angry, if you want to blame your sister for this matter." Before, I ordered Baoguo to worship male pets, and I originally wanted to treat my sister. I didn't think that this kind intention did a bad thing, and the people below were negligent for a while, and there was a mistake in identity screening, so I had tonight's unhappiness. King Zhou You also hurriedly nodded yes, looking afraid that Zheng Ni would be angry.

Zhao Liang knew that Youwang and Bao Xi did not suspect him for the time being, so he first put his mind at ease, and then said casually: "I know that this is a piece of love from Brother Wang and sister-in-law, but if you can check people clearly at the beginning, it will also save the embarrassment at the moment." If that little fourth is really an enemy spy, I, Zheng Ni, will never be merciful, but if he is innocent, he can't wronged a good person. ”

"That's natural," Bao Xi said with a smile, "Let Father Yu Shi and them try it tomorrow, and it will be clear." ”

King Zhou You also said: "Cousin, you should have heard of it somewhat. For example, the situation today is very delicate, not only is the movement of Shenhou unpredictable, but also many vassal states are also quite critical of the new policy. The widow is worried that there will really be a foreign collusion at this time, so he has to be careful about things like spies. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Liang took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Wang, when it comes to the new policy, I also want to ask." Is it really as Shenhou said, do you want to implement the new policy of acres of land? ”

"Yes, cousin." King Zhou You replied triumphantly: "The widow swears to get rid of bad government, implement new laws, and make the Great Zhou rich and strong!" What do you think? Hahaha......"

Zhao Liangxin said: You are also very narcissistic like a dick, in the final analysis, it is not to move the successful experience of modern society to ancient times to be opportunistic? It's just for self-esteem, but it makes us run around hard. He suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Brother Wang, what is the name of the new deal you are talking about, what is the name of the new deal for the acres of land, and it is very tongue-twisting." ”

Bao Xi covered her mouth and smiled: "It is a joint production contract responsibility system." This is the creation of the king to become the king of the ages. ”

King Zhou You was praised stupidly and boasted: "Hey, the Eternal Emperor is nothing. The goal in the hearts of the widows is to become a figure like the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors! Cousin, I won't tell you, as long as this new law of acres is implemented, plus the redemption of slaves from various countries, the whole Great Zhou world will be turned upside down! Think about it, the people everywhere no longer distinguish between countrymen and slaves, as long as they want, everyone has a field to plant! As long as the annual harvest is enough for the royal family and enough for the princes, the rest is their own. Wouldn't everyone do their best? In a few years, there will be a prosperous era of national wealth and strong people! ”

Zhao Liang nodded with pretended admiration, and asked again: "How did Brother Wang come up with such a wise plan?" ”

When King Zhou You heard him ask, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He first looked at the admiring look on his face, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ah, what do you think?" That's how I thought about it, and I came up with it. Hahaha, it's not early today, cousin go back and rest first, and I'll talk to you again when I have time. ”

Coming out of Yuxia Palace, Zhao Liang was silent all the way, looking preoccupied. I guessed that Ni Mei was worried about the safety of Wang Xiaosi and Zheng Luya, so it was not easy to disturb. He glanced at Shen Changlie next to him, and deliberately said, "I said Shen Gongzi, what are you thinking?" ”

Shen Changlie, who was also in a daze, came back to his senses when he heard the words and replied, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just wondering if it's really like what the king just said, this joint production contract responsibility system seems to be a feasible attempt. ”

Zhao Liang, who was walking in front, was shocked when he heard this, turned around and scolded angrily: "Nonsense! What do you know? ”
