I saw that Tong Qixi stopped as soon as he walked outside the city gate, and Xiao Liyue and others also followed, Xiao Liyue knew that there must be a good show about to be staged here.

She looked left and right, chose a place near the city gate, and after examining it carefully, she said to one of the officials, "Go, find me two shovels." ”

The official looked at Tong Qixi suspiciously.

"What? Isn't it good to say what the princess said? Tong Qixi looked at the official and asked.

"Didn't you hear the words of the princess? Don't go yet! Liu Shiquan said angrily at the officer.

"Yes, yes." , the official hurriedly retreated, and soon he found two shovels.

Tong Qixi pulled the rope that tied Zhang Fushun, and Zhang Fushun leaned forward and said, "You, and you, each of you takes a shovel and digs a big pit for me here." ”

Xiao Yueyue's entourage untied the rope from Zhang Fushun's body and threw two shovels to them.

Liu Shiquan looked at it with a shovel and asked, "King, princess, this is." ”

Tong Qixi blinked his eyes and asked innocently, "What?" Isn't the concubine's words good? ”

"No, it's not." , Liu Shiquan hurriedly shook his head.

"That's good, you have to dig a big pit for this concubine."

Tong Qixi turned around and said to the servants brought by Liu Shiquan and Zhang Fushun's five men: "You show the concubine to watch them dig, don't stop, if they stop, you will beat the concubine, otherwise the concubine will ask you." ”，

Tong Qixi said and handed the horse whip in Luo Li's hand to a servant, and then walked to the shady place under the city tower.

The officials surrounded Liu Shiquan and Zhang Fushun and watched them dig, and Liu Shiquan and Zhang Fushun didn't dare to be lazy, so they had to dig desperately.

Tong Qixi found a place to sit down, Xiao Liyue walked over, and said softly: "Tong Qixi, are you using the identity of this princess very majestic?" ”

Tong Qixi glanced at Xiao Yue: "How is it!" This identity was given by the emperor, which was originally quite disgusting, but now it seems that it is still a little useful. ”

The green tendons on Xiao Yueyue's forehead jumped, this woman is really, sometimes it really makes people want to strangle her.

But this is also to think about it, Xiao Liyue is reluctant to do this now.

Xiao Yuyue swallowed, he leaned his head close to Tong Qixi, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said, "Very good, you are very satisfied with the identity of this king and princess." ”

Tong Qixi subconsciously avoided his body, glanced at Xiao Yue, and thought, is there really anything wrong with this guy? It's always weird lately.

And Xiao Yueyue showed a satisfied smile.

Half of the pit was dug, Liu Shiquan was finally too tired to dig anymore, he stopped to look at Tong Qixi and asked, "Princess, what are we going to do when we dig the pit?" ”

Tong Qixi looked at Liu Shiquan and said, "Lord Liu, don't worry, you'll find out later." ”

Liu Shi had no choice but to continue digging the pit.

After a while, Tong Qixi felt a little hot, and she fanned herself with her hand.

Luo Li stood next to Shaoze and saw it, and was about to find something to fan Tong Qixi.

Shao Ze grabbed Luo Li, then walked over and handed Xiao Liyue the fan he had just used to fight the officials to Xiao Liyue and returned to Luo Li's side.

Xiao Liyue looked at Tong Qixi, who was fanning himself with his hand, he silently opened the fan, it seemed that he was fanning himself, but in fact, the wind was fanning Tong Qixi.

Not long after, Liu Shiquan and Zhang Fushun finally dug a big pit, Tong Qixi walked over and walked around the two big pits, and said: "Well, yes, big enough, come, you two jump down and let the princess see if it's deep enough." ”

"Wang ...... Princess"

"Huh? Don't jump? Tong Qixi looked at Liu Shiquan who was speaking.

Liu Shiquan glanced at Xiao Yue, who was full of cold aura behind Tong Qixi, and had to say obediently with a smile: "Jump, jump, the next official will jump." ”

After speaking, Liu Shiquan cautiously jumped into the pit he had dug by himself just now.

After Liu Shiquan jumped down, Tong Qixi looked at Zhang Fushun again, Zhang Fushun was trembling, and hurriedly jumped down.

They stood in the pit, showing only one head, and asked, "Princess, have you dug deep enough?" ”

Tong Qixi nodded with satisfaction, "Well, yes, it's deep enough." Then Tong Qixi said to a servant and the man led by him: "You two come here." ”

The two of them walked up to Tong Qixi, Tong Qixi picked up the two shovels on the ground and stuffed them into their hands, and said, "Here, you two go over and fill the soil for me." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, "It's the princess." ”

When the two of them walked to the pit, they squatted down and said to the two people in the pit, "My lord, I'll pull you out first." ”

Liu Shiquan hurriedly stretched out his hand.

"Who said they were going to let them out?" , Tong Qixi's cold voice came.

"Princess, what do you mean by this?" , Liu Shiquan asked with a smile.

Tong Qixi walked over and bent down to look at Liu Shiquan, and said, "Of course this concubine wants to bury you alive!" ”

"Wang ...... Princess, you don't mean a small ...... Is it a small punishment and a big punishment? Zhang Fushun was so frightened that he almost couldn't speak.

Tong Qixi smiled at him and said, "Yes, that's why this concubine buried you alive, otherwise, with the character of this concubine, you will definitely be cut by a thousand knives." ”

"Princess, spare your life, princess spare your life." , Zhang Fushun begged for mercy again and again.

"Why, aren't you going to do it yet?" , Tong Qixi looked at the official who had not done it for a long time and the guy led by the rice shop, and said, "Why don't you change it?" You two go down and let them come up? ”

The two looked at each other and swallowed their saliva, and then said to the two people in the pit, "My lord, I'm sorry. ","Zhang ...... Master Zhang, I'm sorry, if you get down, don't blame me. ”

After saying that, the two of them began to swing their shovels to fill in the pit with a map.

"You ungrateful, wolf-hearted fellow, have you forgotten to feed you? I'm feeding the white-eyed wolf. Zhang Fushun cried in the pit and scolded the rice shop guy who filled him in the soil.

"Master Zhang, I'm sorry, the little one is also forced to be helpless, the small one will definitely give you more paper money in the future." , the guy said as he filled in the soil.

"Princess, you have spared a lot of subordinates, blame the subordinates for having no eyes and not knowing Mount Tai, offending the princess, princess, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old son, you can pity them, and treat the subordinates as a fart." , Liu Shiquan said pitifully to Tong Qixi.

Tong Qixi ignored it, she said to the guy led by the official and the rice shop: "You two move quickly, the concubine is waiting impatiently, and the concubine who is slow will have to find someone to spur the two of you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Liyue glanced at the entourage beside her.

The attendant nodded, and then one of the officials walked up to the two with a horsewhip in his hand, and he waved the horsewhip and shouted at them: "Hurry up! ”

The two of them were startled, and their movements were much faster.

After a while, Liu Shiquan and Zhang Fushun only had one head exposed.

Tong Qixi smiled and shouted at the two: "Stop!" ”

The two stopped.

Tong Qixi walked over, squatted down and patted his two heads, and sighed: "Alas! Concubine Ben doesn't want to bury you now. ”

Zhang Fushun was happy to hear this, he shook his head and said, "Then the princess, let us go." ”

Tong Qixi looked at Zhang Fushun and shook his head as if he was pretending to be very aggrieved, and said, "But what if the concubine doesn't want to let you go?" ”

Liu Shiquan stretched out a smile and asked, "Then what do you want to do, princess?" ”

Tong Qixi's index finger tapped his lips and thought for a while, and said: "Otherwise, I will ask you questions, if you answer truthfully, this concubine will dig up a spade of soil, but if you dare to deceive this concubine, then, this concubine will let someone add another spade of soil to you, how about it?" ”

Zhang Fushun asked with a smile, "Princess, can you play something else?" ”

'Smack', Tong Qixi slapped Zhang Fushun's head and said with a serious face: "No!" ”

Then Tong Qixi stood up and took two steps back, and said, "Shaoze, you go and get a pen and paper, and write down all the questions I will ask later." ”

"Yes."

Shaoze quickly went to the carriage to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and an attendant studied the ink, Shaoze dipped the tip of the pen in a little ink, held the paper in one hand, and prepared the record.

Tong Qixi saw that Shaoze was ready, so he began to ask the first question, "What are your names, where are you, and what are you doing?" ”

Then Tong Qixi pointed to Liu Shiquan, "You answer one by one, just start with you." ”

"Xiaguan Liu Shiquan, a person from Tongzhou, is the Taishou of Yuzhou."

"You!" , Tong Qixi pointed at Zhang Fushun.

"Little ...... Small Fushun, Yu ...... Yuzhou people, to ...... It used to be a cloth seller. ”

"And now?" , Tong Qixi asked.

"Present...... Sell Now...... Sell rice. ”

Tong Qixi glanced at the official and the rice shop man with satisfaction, and the two of them dug up a shovel of soil for Liu Shiquan and Zhang Fushun respectively.

Then Tong Qixi walked up to Zhang Fushun and squatted down, he looked at Zhang Fushun's head and continued to ask: "Then tell me, where did your rice come from?" ”

Zhang Fushun didn't dare to answer, he looked at Liu Shiquan.

Tong Qixi also followed Zhang Fushun's eyes and looked at Liu Shiquan, she smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, since you don't want to answer, then ......", Tong Qixi looked at the rice shop guy.

The rice shop guy understood what Tong Qixi meant, and he picked up a shovel of soil and threw it at Zhang Fushun.

"Bah, bah", Zhang Fushun spat out the soil that was spit into his mouth.

Tong Qixi stood up with a smile and said to the five five-three-thick guys from the gang of officials and the rice shop: "In this way, if they are unwilling to answer or answer the questions that the princess is not satisfied with, you will answer them, okay?" If anyone answers correctly, the princess will reward whoever has a silver ticket, how about it? ”

Tong Qixi stretched out his hand, and Luo Li took out a stack of silver tickets and put them in her hand.

Xiao Yuyue stood quietly and looked at Tong Qixi, he felt that this woman was actually very smart except for sometimes giving people a headache......

Tong Qixi took out a silver ticket and held it in his hand and asked, "Can any of you tell me where Zhang Fushun's rice came from?" ”

At this time, a man from a rice shop stepped forward and replied, "I know, I know, Princess. ”

Tong Qixi looked at him, "Okay, since you know, then you answer me." ”

"Back to the princess, Zhang Fushun's rice was given to him by Liu Taishou, Zhang Fushun used to open a cloth village, and he started to sell high-priced rice when it was difficult here."

"Good!" , Tong Qixi was satisfied and stuffed the silver ticket in his hand to the rice shop guy.

When the guy saw it, it was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you princess, thank you princess!" ”
