Chapter 332: Murder and Punishment (4)
"It's not! That's not what I want to say! I was forced to be helpless!
You must believe me, I just can't say that, my lord! ā
Zheng Fang seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and explained desperately.
His appearance made many officials like him look disdainful, even though they would too.
"You said you scolded me, I can understand.
After all, in your eyes, I'm just a king who can't get on the stage.
But why do you take all the people with you?
What is a lowly person? What is a lowly job?
Which of these silk cloths you wear, and all the good food you eat, is not made by the slut in your mouth? ā
Xu Tian came to Zheng Fang, squatted down and pointed to the clothes on his body and said.
"I... I..."Zheng Fang wanted to cry without tears, only more sweat kept secreting.
"Someone!" Xu Tian slowly stood up and said in a cold voice.
The two guards standing at the door of the main hall immediately walked in when they heard the sound and bowed to Xu Tian with their fists.
Xu Tian looked at the two of them seriously, walked around them, and then pointed to one of them and spoke.
"What's your name?"
"Report to the king, the villain Dagu!" The guard who was pointed at immediately looked grim and bowed to speak.
"Ma Dagu..."Xu Tian whispered to himself as he walked.
"When did you enter Yulinwei?"
"King Qiqi, the villain's two-year advance in the feather forest!"
"The feather forest that can stand here is not an ordinary person!
Tell us what you do. ā
Xu Tian patted Ma Dagu on the shoulder, pointed at Liu Xie and said.
"Huh?!" Ma Dagu was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Tian with a strange and embarrassed face, and didn't know what the other party meant.
Not only him, but all the people around him didn't understand what Xu Tian wanted to do, so they just watched silently.
"Don't be afraid, just tell everyone what you are good at.
This is a good opportunity to be promoted to general, so take advantage of it! ā
As soon as Xu Tian said this, Ma Dagu's eyes were about to pop out, and his body trembled faintly.
Not only him, but even the guard who had come in with him began to go berserk.
Seeing that he was about to lose control and wanted to get ahead of Ma Dagu and answer for him, Ma Dagu seemed to react and spoke at a very fast pace.
"Report to the king, I, Ma Dagu, can go up the mountain to hunt hares at the age of ten, and kill a wild deer that broke into the village with my own hands at the age of thirteen!
At the age of seventeen, he had a son and a daughter, and he could repair houses..."
Ma Dagu recounted his "exploits" since childhood incoherently, and made comparisons while talking, for fear that Xu Tian would not believe what he said.
The atmosphere in the main hall was originally very weird, but because of Ma Dagu, it suddenly became relaxed.
Everyone looked at him with strange expressions, full of incredulity.
The only one who was in a hurry was the guard who accompanied Ma Dagu in, until in the end, he couldn't help but slap Ma Dagu and lowered his voice and said angrily.
"What do you say you're doing with all this, who wants to know about you!
The king is asking you about your strengths, you bastard! ā
Xu Tian looked at him with a smile from beginning to end, without the slightest impatience.
Ma Dagu, who was so excited that he was at a loss, suddenly said after being reminded by his companions.
"I know how to work as a carpenter, and because of my strength, I have been a stonemason for a while!
I am also good at swords and crossbows! Two years ago, he was at the top of the selection of 1,000 people, and he was sent to the palace and became a palace guard! ā
After saying this, Ma Dagu only felt that he was about to collapse.
Sweat had already wet his shirt, and his back was wet.
It wasn't much easier than a fight.
"Good! Very good! Xu Tian kept nodding and complimenting.
Ma Dagu, who had always paid attention to Xu Tian's expression, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Come!" Xu Tian beckoned to him, and Ma Dagu immediately came to Xu Tian's side and stood aside very respectfully.
"Do you know him?" Xu Tian pointed to Zheng Fang, who was paralyzed on the ground.
"Back to the king, the villain knows, it's Gong Zheng!"
"Good!"
Xu Tian affirmed again, then squatted down again, pointed at Ma Dagu and said to Zheng Fang.
"Gong Zheng, you see that this little guard is good at so much.
There will be so many lowly people in your mouth, and you are such a noble person, you can't fall behind.
Tell us what you know? ā
When facing Zheng Fang, although Xu Tian was also smiling, the difference was that his smile was very cold.
It was such a smile that brought Zheng Fang endless fear.
Although he didn't know Xu Tian, he knew what it meant.
"Enlightenment... King of Enlightenment... Iā" Zheng Fang didn't know how to speak, his heart was full of infinite fear at the moment.
"Come on, you're welcome, as a royal historian, aren't you even as good as a little guard?"
"I..."
Zheng Fang still didn't say a coherent word.
He knows very well that sometimes inaction is the real means.
It's a pity that he was wrong, because he was facing Xu Tian.
It seems that Zheng Gong is reluctant to share it with everyone.
So, let me ask you how to answer? ā
Xu Tian's smile was gone, and Zheng Fang knew that if he disobeyed Xu Tian's intentions again, I was afraid that the consequences would be very serious.
"Big... Speak, O King! ā
"Zheng Gong can hunt rabbits and kill deer, and can he cut stones?"
"Not in the next place!"
"Zheng Gong can use swords, bows and crossbows, and go into battle to kill the enemy?"
"Not in the next place!"
"And what will you do?" Xu Tian slowly stood up and took his long sword from Ling Feng's hand, his eyes flashing with murderous intent in his eyes.
Zheng Fang's fear had reached the extreme, and he knew in his heart that he might not be able to escape this catastrophe today.
When he realized that he had nothing to lose, he didn't seem so scared.
He struggled to his feet, his body softened from too much fear, and he slammed his body to shake.
"King, I know that I have offended you today, I deserve to die, I am innocent of death, I admit it!
But what I don't understand is, what is your intention in humiliating me with the methods of these sluts?
I can tell the king that you can kill me, you can kill me, but the nobility of the scholars is not comparable to these sluts! ā
Zheng Fang, who was still trembling, became more and more excited the more he talked.
Until the end, he even yelled, and after finishing speaking, he closed his eyes directly, looking like he was generous to death.
"Hahaha..."Xu Tian looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
"You see, he said that you are a slut, even if you die, you are not qualified to compare with him!"
Xu Tianyi pulled the somewhat sluggish Ma Dagu and pointed at Zheng Fang and said word by word.
