Chapter 231: Identity Change
Envoy A nodded and admitted bitterly, "Yes, I didn't expect to be discovered by you." β
Qu Ping said: "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. People are doing it, and the sky is watching. The things of the world are to be hidden, just as paper is used to cover fire, and paper cannot contain fire. Since you have bowed your heads and confessed your sins......"
"Lord Wang, you said that you confessed leniently!" The messenger said hurriedly, it is better not to defend yourself, and it will be too late to wait for the click.
"Wang Tailan, you say, what do you want to do with them?" Qu Ping asked Wang Tailan instead.
Song Fang is not the bishop of the whole incident, at most it is a stage, and it is only now that it has slowly transformed into a supporting role. Therefore, Qu Ping didn't want to make a fuss and make a fuss.
Wang Tailan was stunned for a moment when she heard Qu Ping ask what she wanted to do with them. He got up from the ground, stared at the two of them coldly, and walked slowly and step by step.
The two of them trembled with fright and begged to spare his life.
"Leave you alone? So did you let Katop go? Have you spared Prince Srivijayaja? Have you spared the Sriwijayaya? Wang Tailan asked step by step.
Messenger A knew that the death penalty was inevitable, but he begged for a good time.
The envoy showed courage and said: "The matter has come to this point, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" We won't blink an eye! β
Qu Ping said to Wang Tailan at this time: "Brother Wang Tailan, do you think this is okay? The two of them, one of them can let you kill the prince to apologize, and the other can keep it as a witness, and I will help you ask for an explanation from New Koshari? β
Wang Tailan was stunned, hesitated and said, "Okay!" β
If it can be exchanged for the greater benefit of New Koshari, why not let him die?
When the two new Koshari messengers heard of this decision, their hearts were worse than death, and they prayed:
"Leave me alone!"
"Kill him!"
"He's the main culprit!"
"It's all his idea!"
"Don't kill me, I'll make you a cow and a horse......"
Messenger A had risen up and said that he was willing to die to apologize, but now when he heard that one of the two people could survive, the two immediately began to argue.
This is human nature.
While Messenger A and Messenger C were arguing endlessly about survival, Wang Tailan pulled out a knife from Feng Chao's waist and walked behind the two.
The two of them were suddenly silent as ashes, trembling and not daring to look at Wang Tailan, both of them closed their eyes tightly and lowered their heads, not knowing which one Wang Tailan was going to kill.
Wang Tailan has no multiple-choice questions here, and he must not have to worry about which one should be killed and which one should not be killed.
With a "poof", Messenger A fell to the ground in response, and the result came out.
Wang Tailan let go of his hand tremblingly and dropped the knife in his hand. This was the first time he had killed someone, and although he had avenged Jiatuo, he didn't have any pleasure in his heart.
Feng Chao helped Wang Tailan to the side and sat down, patted him on the shoulder and rubbed his back, and comforted: "It's okay." β
"Congratulations, you've become a lucky person!" Qu Ping said to Messenger C with a smile.
Envoy C was still immersed in the state just now and couldn't extricate himself, his head was always clouded, and he didn't even react when he was dragged and locked up.
Qu Ping ordered the body of messenger A and messenger B to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. After consulting Wang Tailan's opinion, Jiatuo and the bronze drum were also thrown into the sea and buried at sea.
Qu Ping asked Feng Chao to take Wang Tailan back to have a good rest, calm down his mood, be optimistic about him, don't go anywhere, he has something to ask him tomorrow.
Qu Ping went back to the room and told Xiao Lu the results of the interrogation and the final disposal method.
Xiao Lu sighed: "The people of New Koshari also deserve it, take pity on Wang Tailan, this child." β
"Tell me, why is Wang Tailan pitiful?" Qu Ping asked.
Xiao Lu said excitedly: "Let me tell you, Wang Tailan fits well in that dress, and I like her a little bit when I see her." It is...... The chest doesn't fit there. I also took the opportunity to touch her, and guess what? β
Qu Ping looked at her smug look and asked with his eyes what else could he do?
"You're right, Wang Tailan has a good chance...... It's a woman! Xiao Lu said in a low voice.
"That's right! I look at her figure, the shape of her face, the way she walks, the absence of the Adam's apple, and the voice she forgets to hide when she cries, all of them look like a woman. Qu Ping said.
Xiao Lu said: "It's okay for you to give a surprised expression, don't always look like everything is under control!" β
"Huh? What did you say! Wang Tailan turned out to be a ......," Qu Ping shouted loudly, feigning surprise.
Xiao Lu covered Qu Ping's mouth and said, "Why are you so loud, the truth hasn't come out of the day yet, it's not easy to announce it randomly!" β
Qu Ping took her hand away: "Tomorrow we will witness this truth together!" β
Early the next morning, Feng Chao took Wang Tailan to knock on Qu Ping's door, and he said that Wang Tailan had something to tell the prince.
Qu Pingxin said, I haven't gone to look for you yet, but you came to the door by yourself, it seems that you are ready not to recruit yourself.
Qu Ping let Wang Tailan come in alone, and Feng Chao waited outside.
Han'er had just woken up, Xiao Lu pulled her out of bed, and said that someone was coming, get up and call someone. 7 Q
Qu Ping asked Wang Tailan to sit down and said, "Should she call you uncle, or aunt?" β
Wang Tailan's buttocks hadn't fallen off the stool yet, and when she heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly stood up and stammered, "Wang ...... The prince ......"
"If I guessed correctly, you took the initiative to come to the door early in the morning, and it was also for this matter, right?" Qu Ping said.
Wang Tailan said nervously: "I saw my wife like that yesterday...... I'm guessing you're suspicious of me. I knew that I couldn't hide the king's sharp eyes, so I had to surrender myself. β
Qu Ping said: "Take the initiative to surrender? I'm afraid it's more than that. Say, how do you want me to help you? β
Wang Tailan thought to herself, are you an immortal, you will know what I am going to do as soon as I enter the door.
Xiao Lu said, "Miss Wang, do you need me to avoid it?" β
Wang Tailan heard Xiao Lu call herself Miss Wang, and her body couldn't help but feel excited. After hiding for so many years, I'm afraid I'm about to forget my daughter's body. Jiatuo, who has served himself for ten years, has always regarded himself as the Lord, and I am afraid that he has never doubted his gender, right?
I'm afraid that only Katop himself knows this answer.
Wang Tailan's lips trembled slightly, and said, "Madam, it's okay. β
"Sit down and talk." Qu Ping invited Wang Tailan to sit down, and he sat opposite her, observing Wang Tailan carefully, not knowing what secrets she would tell that surprised him.
Wang Tailan rubbed her fingers nervously and said, "The prince is right to suspect that I am indeed a daughter!" β
Wang Tailan saw that Qu Ping and Xiao Lu did not have surprised expressions, and was slightly disappointed, is her disguise so unbearable, are the people who have seen her all these years blind?
Han'er stared at Wang Tailan with wide eyes and said, "I don't believe it! β
All three adults laughed.
Xiao Lu hugged Han'er into her arms and listened to Wang Tailan's story together.
"When I was a child, I lived in the palace of Srivijaya until I was five years old, when my father sent me outside, and I often ran from one place to another, and I went to every place in Srivijaya. The Three Buddhas stayed all over the place, and then ran to neighboring countries, and the farthest place was the Great Song Dynasty. They did this for the sole purpose of protecting me from following in the footsteps of my brothers and at the hands of the enemy. β
Hearing this, Qu Ping already felt that this plot seemed to have been heard somewhere, and the life experience of this Wang Tailan girl was too pitiful and tragic.
"In addition to running away everywhere, they also want me to dress up as a man, just to survive in the world." Wang Tailan said.
Xiao Lu was very sympathetic to Wang Tailan, poured a glass of water for her, and comforted: "Speak slowly, it's okay." β
Wang Tailan glanced at Xiao Lu gratefully and said, "From leaving the palace at the age of five to now, more than ten years have passed, and I have never seen my father and my family again. I thought that this generation would be in exile like this, until a year ago, my father sent someone to the Great Song Dynasty to find me, and wanted me to go back secretly, because ...... Because he was seriously ill and dying. β
Speaking of the back, tears couldn't help but fill his cheeks.
Qu Ping said, "Your father is the king of Srivijaya, right?" β
"The prince guessed correctly, I am the only living child of the king of Srivijaya in the world." Wang Tailan said.
Unexpectedly, the king of Sriwijaya had such a hard life in the past, and so many children were killed, and the last one had to be thrown out for many years to escape the dispute.
"Do you have a token to prove it?" Qu Ping asked.
Wang Tailan took out a mutton fat white jade pendant from his arms and said, "This jade pendant can be merged with the one in my father's hand, it can allow me to go back to the palace to prove my identity and get back what belongs to me!" β
"This jade pendant, others get it, and you can also say that you are the descendant of the king, right? Let alone...... The Srivijaya people do not know whether the king's descendants are male or female. Xiao Lu said.
Wang Tailan was a little stunned and said: "That's right, if I am a real man, it must be more convincing!" But it doesn't matter, my mother is still in the palace, and she can prove it for me. And the people who have been sending me messages can also prove my identity. β
Qu Ping asked, "Is Wang Tailan your real name?" β
"Tyran is my real name." "My mother was the sixth concubine of my father, and my grandfather was a Han Chinese who came to the Three Buddhas from the Great Song Dynasty to do business. β
Qu Ping nodded, no wonder Wang Tailan looked so much like a Han person.
Qu Ping said: "By the way, can you take over the throne as a princess, can you be recognized by your subjects?" β
"The Srivijaya also had queens in ancient times, and we don't have the same rules as the Celestial Empire about who controls the king. Of course, if it is a man, it is definitely more persuasive. However, I am the only orthodox blood of the royal family, and there is no reason why the ministers should not accept it. β
Wang Tailan is not entirely right, in ancient China, it was not only men who held power and called kings and emperors.
"That's good." Qu Ping said.
"As far as the minister is concerned, my daughter, sooner or later, will have to marry into the family of a certain minister, and they can also benefit from the power because of it, so what reason is there to prevent me from becoming the queen?"
When Tyran said this, he couldn't hide the loss on his face, even if she was a high-ranking queen, she couldn't avoid the clichΓ© of fate.
Tyran said, "I guess as soon as I ascend to the throne, they can't help but marry me." If I can't be strong myself, I can only choose a strong minister and marry him. β
Also as a woman, Xiao Lu sympathizes with Tyran's plight, and also sweats for the situation she will face. Xiao Lu looked at Qu Ping, but Qu Ping didn't respond.
Qu Ping was thinking in her heart, Tailan has finally reached the point now, she wants to find a strong backer, to be exact, she wants to find Da Song's backer.
Seeing that Qu Ping was indifferent, Tailan said bluntly: "I want to ask the prince to represent the Great Song Dynasty and be my backer!" β
Qu Ping was indifferent and said calmly: "I am very sympathetic to your plight, Princess Tailan, but please ask me to represent Da Song as your backer, and we have to think about it in the long run." β
Tailan threw out an olive branch and said: "The Three Buddhas can respect the Great Song Dynasty as the upper country, pay tribute every year, and the Song people can enjoy preferential treatment in the Three Buddhas, and the Song ships passing through the Three Buddhas Strait are exempt from toll tax!" β
Tailan looked at Qu Ping urgently, waiting for his answer, and thought, "If this doesn't satisfy you, you can only take another yourself!" β
