Chapter Fifty-Seven: There's Someone Up There
Late at night, Wang Ji, the county guard of Hedong County of the Qin State, sat alone in his study, with a sword on the table in front of him.
That's right, this sword is Li Mu's Zhan Lu sword.
What made Wang Ji feel strange was that the legendary Zhan Lu sword should be extremely sharp and powerful, why did the sword in front of him look so black that it didn't even have a blade.
Wang Ji took the Zhan Lu sword in his hand and waved it a few times, but he couldn't hear any sound, let alone the sound of a dragon's groan.
In order to verify the true power of the Zhan Lu sword, Wang Ji took his usual saber off the sword stand, and after two strokes of the Zhan Lu sword in his hand, he slashed at his saber, but only heard the sound of metal impact, and the saber was unharmed.
It's weird! Isn't this Zhan Lu sword just a burning stick, it's not unusual, it seems that the legend is just a legend. simply, as a favor, it was given to Prime Minister Fan Cheng.
Wang Ji put down the Zhan Lu sword and stood up, and in his study there were still the boxes that Chen Zheng was going to bring to Xianyang. Wang Ji opened them one by one and looked at them, and his eyes were green! This Lu Buwei took so much gold and treasures to Xianyang for public relations, and he was really willing to put down his book, which is worthy of doing big business, and he is extraordinary. It's a pity, this time his surname Lu is blind, and he has to invest in that Yingyiren, which is really unbelievable. He Lu Buwei didn't want to think about what kind of place Qin was, and it was okay to mix with Qin and Zhao to fight for territory, and he actually calculated the future throne of Qin State, and he really didn't take the wolf-like sons of Prince Yingzhu in his eyes. These things were escorted to Prime Minister Fan's mansion in Xianyang, so that Prime Minister Fan could say a few good words for me in front of King Qin, so that I could leave Hedong and return to Hexi as soon as possible.
Huh? What's that? Wang Ji found that there was a small box in these treasures, and when he opened it, he saw that there were small gold nuggets neatly placed in the golden light, and some incomprehensible patterns were engraved on it. Wang Ji studied carefully for a long time and couldn't understand the point, what is this? There are several gold nuggets engraved with the words "East" and "West" on them, could it be related to Hedong County?!
At this time, Chen Zhengzheng was locked up with Han Fei and Li Mu.
In a cell in Hedong County, Han Fei looked helplessly at the sleeping Chen Zheng and Li Mu. I didn't expect that the first time I entered the class room in my life was with Brother Lu, it seems that following this master can really gain insight! Recalling Wang Ji's cold expression, Han Fei couldn't help but shiver a little. Brother Lu and Li Mu haven't woken up yet, and they don't know what the situation is between the eldest brother and this Wang Ji, at the beginning they were still like brothers' welcome and warm welcome, but in the blink of an eye, they thundered and went to the knife, Brother Lu's friends are really personality acting schools!
Suddenly, Chen Zheng, who was in a coma, turned over and muttered in his mouth: Drink! I haven't met an opponent in your Warring States yet, and you, Wang Ji, have to bow down. Strange, stranger, you, you are really not an ordinary person, I am running around for you, and I am riding gold and sister, this time I put my life into it, you are really blessed!
Han Fei leaned over and pushed Chen Zheng, and shouted in a low voice: Lu, Lu, big brother, you, wake up, wake up.
Chen Zheng waved his hand and pushed Han Fei away, and said in a daze: Don't, don't push me, I still have to drink with Wang Ji!
Okay, then you can continue to drink with Lord Wang in your dream, perhaps, the wine in the dream was not drugged.
Looking at Li Mu in front of him again, his hands were already locked in shackles. It seems that Wang Ji knows that only Li Mu knows martial arts, and no one can get rid of it if he doesn't lock his hands. When he and Brother Lu entered this cell, they could only meet the soldiers before Xiucai could say anything.
Han Fei sighed alone, sleepiness gradually enveloped his whole body, the two eyelids attracted each other like magnets, and after a yawn, this Han Gongzi also fell asleep against the wall.
Sometime the next day, Li Mu was the first to open his eyes, hehe! What's the situation, why are you locked up here with Brother Lu and Han Gongzi?! Outrageous! What's even more infuriating is that his hands were locked, and Zhan Lujian was gone.
After a period of hard recollection, Li Mu vaguely remembered the scene of drinking with Wang Ji, who must have been poured too much by the villain Ah Cheng! But if you drink too much, you won't be locked up here! Don't lock my hands up!
"Brother Lu, Master Han, wake up!" Li Mu moved his body and shook Chen Zheng and Han Fei a few times with his shoulder, huh? Why aren't their hands locked?
Chen Zheng woke up after a jolt and looked around at the cell, where is this? Could it be that this is Xianyang? Did Prime Minister Fan lock us up?
After Han Fei's explanation, Chen Zheng and Li Mu still seem to understand, we have no grievances with Wang Ji, why did he do such a despicable act? Not really?!
"You're having a great time! I had moved a bench and sat outside listening for a while. Since you haven't talked enough, let's keep talking, and there is time. I saw an official swaying over, looking at the three people in the cell with disdain on his face through the thick wooden fence. The person's upper uniform was painted with a large circle with the word "poor" written on it.
Chen Zheng felt as if he had heard what this official said, and after thinking about it for a long time, how could it be a little similar to the scene when he met Chang Yu?! When he saw the word "poor" on the official errand, Chen Zheng was also happy. Eh, I said, you Qin Guo see this word written on the body of the prison? Aren't you afraid that customers will give you bad reviews?
Customer? What does it mean?
They are the guests who come to you.
Ha ha! I didn't expect you to be surnamed Lu from Zhao Guolai, it's quite funny, a prisoner is a prisoner, and a customer, interesting! We've been here since Lord Wang came, and that's insisting on putting prisoners first, oh no, customers first. What customers want, is what can't be given, what customers don't want is what we should do, as long as the customer is happy, we are not happy, as long as the customer is unhappy, we are the happiest. Keep your eyes open and see, what is this?
Following the direction of the officer's finger, I saw a small flag hanging on the wall outside the cell, on which were written a few words in large seal script: The unit with which the prisoner is most dissatisfied with the year is written.
The official almost smiled proudly, haha, how is it? With this flag, we've doubled our winnises!
All right! This little flag matches the word on your body very well.
"Bold! Unreasonable! Licentious! The official's eyes widened, and he pointed to the word "poor" on his body, which was the first time that our Lord Wang came to Hedong County. But Lord Wang said that this word is always to remind us that we must take the bad reviews of prisoners as the goal of our work, there is no worst, only worse, oh yes!
It seems that your lord Wang has no teeth in his mouth!
Well? What do you mean?
Toothless!
"Arrogance! Damn it! Damn it! The official stretched out his right hand and pointed at Chen Zheng in the cell: "Listen, you three, whoever dares to make our Lord Wang unhappy for a while, Lord Wang will make him unhappy for the rest of his life." There are people above us, Lord Wang!
Chen Zheng was happy when he heard it, and said in a non-standard Tangshan dialect: There are people above you Lord Wang, why don't I know it?
Who knew that the official could also speak Tangshan Mandarin: Why did someone above us tell you? You know!
Who is the person above your lord, tell me!
I don't tell you, what can you do?
I can't do anything about it, don't say it if you don't say it, I don't want to know.
Huh! You kid won't let me tell me, and I'll just say that what the prisoner doesn't want to know is what we must let him know. Sue you, our Lord Wang is the great benefactor of Prime Minister Fan Sui Fan, but in the Qin State, he is the master who stomps his feet and trembles, you provoke our Lord Wang, you really found the right person! There are people above Lord Wang.
When Han Fei saw this person's face, he was so angry that he also stretched out his right hand, so frightened that Chen Zheng hurriedly went over and pressed Han Fei's arm, Brother Han was angry, angry, leave him alive!
The official was also stunned, what's the situation? All three of you are locked up inside, and you say you're going to spare my life? You kid pointed your finger at me and tried it, Lao Tzu cut it down for you, do you believe it or not? There are people above us, Lord Wang!
At this time, Wang Ji's voice came from not far from outside the cell, you Lu Buwei is really ashamed, you are in prison, you can't protect yourself, and you said that you want to save someone else's life, I think, you should think about whether your life will be thrown here!
When the official saw Wang Ji coming, he hurriedly took a break and nodded again, and then stood behind Lord Wang, poked his head out and answered: Yes! Think about whether your life will end up here! There are people above us, Lord Wang.
Li Mu glared at Wang Ji angrily, you Wang Ji, you dare to put medicine in the wine we drank, let us out quickly, otherwise you will taste the power of Zhan Lujian.
Wang Ji smiled, Zhan Lu Jian? Come on! It's just a burning stick.
Chen Zheng was also angry, I said Lord Wang, what do you mean by this? That's not what you said when you sent someone to invite me to Anyi!
Hey! The surname is Lu, I don't let him say that, can you come to Anyi obediently?
What do you want to do by drugged our wine and locked us up here?
Hehe! If it weren't for the face of this Li Mu and Zhan Lu Jian, they would have taken you all down on the way here, how could they still drink with you and delay their efforts. Do you think that with Li Mu's protection, you can go in and out of the Qin State at will? You also underestimate our Qin State!
Chen Zheng suddenly remembered something, what about the person who drove the car for us? Where are you keeping him?
Wang Ji glanced at Chen Zheng contemptuously, you Lu Buwei is still a big dealer, and you even care about driving a carriage. Don't worry, he's in a third-class cell.
Hearing that the old servant was safe and sound, Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Wang Ji, I said, Lord Wang, you can't stop me this time, I am going to Xianyang, even if there is any misunderstanding between me and Prime Minister Fan, I will explain it myself, why did you deceive me here, it is drugging, it is a prison cell, it takes so many twists and turns, is it interesting?!
Interesting! I can become this Hedong County Guard, it is thanks to Prime Minister Fan Cheng and his old man, if anyone makes Prime Minister Fan unhappy for a while, my Wang Ji will make him unhappy for the rest of his life!
The official echoed: Yes, not happy!
Chen Zheng doesn't know what to say, why do you all open your mouths for Lafayette's mantra?
Wang Ji was stunned, who is Lafayette?
You don't even know Lafayette?! It's Lan'er, it's the Queen Mother of the West, it's my father, and you don't know it. I said Lord Wang, we are also friends, I think when we were in Xianyang, we were also buddies who drank wine and ate meat, why did you mix it up with Prime Minister Fan?
Stop! Wang Ji raised his hand, I didn't say that we were friends. Even if it's a friend, it's because you have a good relationship with Prime Minister Fan, let's talk about it, now Prime Minister Fan doesn't treat you as a friend, and there is no friendship between the two of us. By the way, those things that you Lu Buwei brought this time, I don't think the fertilizer water will flow into the fields of outsiders, I will dedicate it to Prime Minister Fan for you, maybe when Brother Fan is happy, the adults will not remember the villain and let you go?!
What? Those things are for my errands, what right do you have to dispose of them for me? You Wang Ji is too unreasonable!
Wang Ji sneered, it's still to come!
The official errand is up again: yes, in the back!
Wang Ji turned around and slapped the official, what are you doing crookedly behind me, why don't you call someone to come and take the three of them to surprise?
The official was slapped in the face, but there was a smile on his face, hehe, Lord Wang made me fight me again today, haha, I can be promoted again.
Chen Zheng looked stupid, what kind of person is this, he is happier to be beaten than to pick up gold?
"What are you seeing?! Our lord Wang is the most considerate of his subordinates, and whoever he beats and scolds will be promoted in a short time. Where to find a good official like Lord Wang! After the official finished speaking, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Chen Zheng thought to himself, you are a slave, even if you are an official, you are also a dog official, bah, you are full of stars!
Wang Ji looked at the three people in the cell and smiled mysteriously, don't you want to know the surprise I prepared for Lu Buwei? I'll show you later. Hahahaha!
In the blink of an eye, the official led a group of people to come, took Chen Zheng and the three of them out, and walked all the way along the narrow passage. I only heard the sound of wailing from the cells on both sides from time to time, and a few bloody arms stretched out, shouting intermittently: Give me something to eat..., I'm dying of thirst..., let me die!
Chen Zheng has never seen such a scene, frightened, trembling, and dodging, this is simply hell on earth!
Wang Ji was like a tour guide, and introduced with a calm expression: Tourists from Handan, please come with me, here, is the site of the prison in Hedong County, Qin State during the Warring States Period, of course, due to the long history, the original site no longer exists, and now everyone sees the scene of replication. At that time, due to the strict punishment and strict laws implemented by the Qin State, many innocent people were convicted of crimes, and Hedong County, in order to increase the population, the Qin State moved many prisoners here. In addition to the Qin prisoners, many Wei people were also imprisoned here, and because they were unwilling to move out of their homeland, some Wei people were tortured here after Hedong County was occupied by the Qin State.
Chen Zheng, Han Fei, and Li Mu took pictures with SLR cameras, and asked with great interest: Your tickets for this attraction are so expensive, there must be something more interesting?
Of course, please come with me. This is the location of the "Five Elements Dafa" invented by Shouwang Ji of Hedong County back then. Today's tour guide service ends here, now time and space return to 259 BC, welcome all tourists to travel to Shanxi again, take care! Oh no, everyone, save your life!
I saw an inconspicuous small door, and a small flag was hung at the door, which was also written in large seals: There is no worse unit in all years. There is a wad of linen on a small table under the flag, huh? What's going on?
The official walked to the table and looked at Chen Zheng insidiously, hehe, this is the guestbook of customers, and our customer satisfaction rate here has always maintained a 100% record, please look at it if you don't believe it!
Chen Zheng went over and opened it to take a look, I'll go! In addition to some blood-red handprints on the linen, there are three big characters written on it: "Cool to death". Is this an escape room?
"Haha! These handprints are the memorials left by those who died when they left, and these words are the acceptance speeches written in the breath left. Let your surname Lu feel it for yourself today! As he spoke, the official opened the small door beside him.
