Legend. The Jiuqu Mandarin Duck pot is Zheng Sleeve, the favorite concubine of King Chu Huai, who ordered the craftsman to make it easy to take medicine. There is a partition in the pot that divides the pot in two. While loading wine, while loading medicine, it was later used by traitors to poison, creating many court injustices. There is also a wild history that the pot was first seen in the Western Han Dynasty. Empress Lu once used it to poison Empress Zhang, the biological mother of the young emperor Liu Gong. Since then, the Jiuqu Mandarin Duck Pot has not known how much blood has been contaminated in the rivers and lakes of the court.

The seats in the hall were all once rangers. Such as Xu Rong, Cheng Pu, Shi Jian and others, how can they not know the notoriety of the Jiuqu Mandarin Duck Pot!

Liu Bei's voice landed. Needles can be heard falling in the hall. It was the little official sitting in the hall, although he didn't know what the 'nine-song mandarin duck pot' was, he didn't dare to ask out loud.

Holding the cup in both hands, bowing down to toast posture, slowly lifting the forehead from behind the long sleeves. first looked up at Liu Bei, and then slowly lifted his neck. His hands fell, and he stood straight with his whole body.

Liu Bei looked at him expressionlessly.

Zhi Chang sighed and threw the glass to the ground.

"How did the prince know?"

This is a confession!

Xu Rong and Cheng Pu were about to fight with their swords, but they were stopped by Liu Bei.

"In ancient times, you used a knife to kill people, but you can use the power to harm people. It's really respectable. Liu Bei has figured it all out: "This is a two-line serial plan of yin and yang. The hypothesis is long in the light, and the real is long in the dark. Who would have thought that he would have lived with himself. The real chief who was imprisoned by the thieves was the real murderer in the end. Therefore, this yin-yang chain plan has set two goals from the beginning: to make money and to kill people. Clearly for money, but secretly killing. Want. I must have a bitter enmity with the mastermind behind the one I have never met. ”

Zhi Chang only sneered.

"You're a dead man. If the poisoned wine is chronic, you still have a chance to live. If you are killed on the spot. You don't have a good death. As he spoke, Liu Bei looked at the confused officials in the hall: "Your relationship with them doesn't seem to be fake." Presumably it was the Taiping Road that first intersected with colleagues in the center and then entered. Therefore, in order to protect the officials, they will not be implicated by you and die. Pot poisoning is mostly chronic. I won't have a seizure until I'm far away. In this way, the officials will be saved. As for whether you will enter the Taiping Road with you in the future, or flee separately, you have done your best. Yes and no? ”

The long expression says it all.

"The small skills of carving insects can't hide the eyes of the prince." Zhi Chang cleaned up his mood and stretched to the ground: "Let the subordinate die clearly." Dare to ask the prince, where does the flaw come from? ”

"There are no flaws." Liu Bei paused and said: "You are the chief of this disposition, and it is true that you have a good relationship with a group of officials." It's so real, how can I see through it. ”

"Then why don't you drink from me?"

Liu Bei also smiled and sighed: "Although there are no flaws, there are doubts." Assuming that the long wants to set up an ambush, the fire burns the house. Why do you want to stay and wait for your life? The so-called killing people and killing mouths. There is no proof of death. Leaving you behind is obviously asking for trouble. I was suspicious. and temptation of words. As a result, the answers were fluent, and there was a tacit understanding between each other, and there were no flaws. So the doubts were dispelled. As for staying with me for half a day in the back, there is a banquet in the lobby, and the toast before and after, all of which are natural and flawless. Knowing that I am cautious, I must first test the poison. Therefore, the food is non-toxic, and the wine is also non-toxic. Where is the poison? You can only carry it with you. ”

"The second one?" Ask rhetorically.

"Definitely." Liu Bei looked at the poisonous wine jug beside him: "The flaw is in it." There is a partition in the pot to divide the pot in two. Hold the wine on one side and the medicine on the other. Although the appearance is not different from other flasks. But the capacity is reduced by half. To show your innocence, you set this pot for public use. In the past, many officials drank alcohol and used this pot more. In this way, when you take the public flask and toast, the guards in the hall, the retainers, and even me will not suspect it. For you have vouched for your innocence with the lives of all those in your hall. If the wine is poisonous, and everyone has drunk it, how can they be free?

However, you don't know that my family also sells alcohol. The Songquan brew sold at the sake brewery is home-brewed. I know how many glasses a pot of wine can fill. You have ordered the pot to be filled with wine several times. But the officials in the hall did not drink so many cups. In fact, how much I drank, I can't remember. It's just based on past experience: after three rounds of drinking, how many people, how much wine is consumed, I have a rough idea in my heart. The difference in numbers is so great, so you tried to say it, and you really accepted it. ”

"Alas......" let out a long sigh.

100 dense and one sparse. The so-called devil is in the details. Liu Bei was able to find the biggest flaw in the capacity of the wine jug. It's really unexpected.

"Xie Junhou is complete." Knowing the cause and effect, the chief bowed solemnly. When he reached the ground, he suddenly plunged down and reached out to grab the flask.

"Stop him!" Liu Bei hurriedly stretched out his hand.

If you want to die, it's not that easy! Shi Lian drew his sword and threw it, hitting the poisoned wine jug.

It's too late, it's too soon.

At the moment when the sword struck the flask, Zhi Chang suddenly raised his other hand. A black shadow shot out from his sleeve and went straight to Liu Bei.

The generals in the hall were stunned.

Seeing that the drug plan succeeded. Unexpectedly, a pair of long chopsticks protruded from the side.

Hold the Hidden Arrow firmly.

The gold and wood intersected, and there was a soft snapping sound.

Up and down the hall, everyone's hearts bounced up with this soft sound, and suddenly fell to the ground again.

Bang!

The hand poisoned flask exploded. The sword grazed past and plunged back into the ground.

Look all the way to the left along the long chopstick. only to find out that it was the Yan maid sitting beside the prince, twisting it with her hands.

There is actually a pair of long chopsticks, which are lightweight, to put it mildly, and easily resolve the must-kill blow!

The donkey was poor in skill and sat on the ground.

Fight for the blow of this life. He was well prepared. If the poisoned wine can't be done, he will find an opportunity to assassinate him.

Liu Bei seemed to have a chance to win, and he had no resistance at all, showing weakness. He also committed suicide under the pretense of drinking poisoned wine to divert the audience. Then shoot the poisoned arrow coldly. The situation, timing, and proportions are all just right.

The surrounding guards, the retainers in the court, and even the townsfolk themselves couldn't react. But it was easily resolved by a maid who was despised by everyone and automatically ignored, and was cut off with warm wine.

Searching the intestines and scraping the belly, painstakingly. Such a clever plan. A cascading layout. It fell short.

Seeing the maid clamping the poisoned arrow next to the case, she buried her head in cutting Liu Bei's warm wine. It's as if none of them happened. Zhi Chang smiled gloomily, his face like gold paper. The seven orifices were bleeding and still forcibly asked, "Who are you...... Sacred. ”

Without waiting for Liu Bei to answer, he was already angry.

"Don't move!" Seeing the commotion in the hall, Shi Lian shouted angrily.

The little officials in the hall were confused before. If you want to be stabbed in front of the chief, how can you still not understand!

I wanted to kneel down to defend myself, but I was stopped.

Shi Lian's back spine is still cold. He has never seen such a scene for a long time.

Liu Bei smiled indifferently: "This is the conspiracy between the chief and the thief, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"The prince will see you!" A group of officials bowed to the ground.

On this day, the sword and sword shadow, killing silently. How can people bear it!
