The Luoyi cell under Zhou Tianzi was very spacious, and Chen Zheng, who had just been a guest in the palace hall, was like being thrown down from the heavenly court by the heavenly soldiers and generals, sitting on the haystack of the cell with straight eyes and a blank brain.

On the opposite side of Chen Zheng, seven or eight ragged prisoners were looking at this brightly dressed boy with a strange hairstyle.

In the face of other people's humiliation, generally speaking, there are three ways to face it, the first type of person will remain silent or laugh at it, even if he will look for opportunities to return the color afterwards, he will not lower his identity in person and become the same person as the other party. The second type of person will show his attitude on the spot, fight back with a strong voice, and clearly tell the other party that Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with. The third type of person will be completely irritated by the other person, act aggressively and say excessive things in a hot-headed situation.

The difference between the three ways is that the first one will hide yourself better, and even if the other party is hacked inexplicably, they will not think that you did it. In the second case, even if you don't retaliate against the other person, and the other person is hacked, whether you did it or not, he will think of you first. The third situation is that you don't have to fight back against the other party after the fact, because you are paying for the disaster you have caused, killing people will pay for your life, hurting people will cost money, and you will go to jail if you talk too much.

Chen Zheng has just become the third type of person.

Even if there is the intercession of the Western Zhou Dynasty Gongji and Su Dai, under the wrath of the Son of Heaven, how can a small businessman who defends the country retreat!

A prisoner stabbed his fellow inmates next to him, pointed at Chen Zheng opposite with his chin, and said confidently: "Eh, I said, do you see, this kid with fine skin and tender flesh must have never been to a place like ours." I'll bet on lunch, and this kid will cry in half an hour. Do you dare to bet? ”

Another prisoner came over and said, "I'll gamble on dinner, this kid won't have to cry for his mother in less than half an hour." ”

That cellmate is also out of the way, just gamble!

As a result, half an hour passed, and Chen Zheng on the opposite side was still sitting there in a daze, neither thunder nor rain.

The prisoner, who had lost two meals in the gamble, walked over unwillingly, stretched out a hand and shook it in front of Chen Zheng's eyes: "Eh, boy, talk to you!" ”

Chen Zheng glanced up at the man and lowered his head again.

"Eh, can you talk? Will you cry? Silly? ”

The prisoner who had just won three meals smiled proudly: "What did you kid do?" Did you steal a chicken or touch a dog? Look at you, you just came from out of town, right? ”

The prisoner who lost the gambling stood in front of Chen Zheng, gave a thumbs up and pointed at the inmates behind him: "Do you know why the gentlemen came in?" Saying it scares you to death! ”

"That, did you see it, stealing two buckets of rice from the granary of the government, is it bold enough?"

"And that one, killing pigs, oh no, the demon who kills people without blinking, carries more than a dozen lives on his back, isn't it amazing?"

"This, the captain of the small merchant and hawker management brigade who doesn't pay for restaurants in Luoyi City and doesn't give money for eating watermelons, dares to collect the management fee of the newly opened restaurant of the eldest cousin of the daughter-in-law of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he has to take the initiative to live here for a few days after returning the money, isn't he angry?"

"And this one, everyone in Luoyi City knows and everyone knows, the three-year-old child who was scared to pee his pants when he heard his name is also the boss in our cell, don't forget to be filial later, there is a boss covering you, to ensure that you are not beaten."

……

After hearing this, Chen Zheng arched his hand towards the opposite side: "Everyone is really a hero, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"It's useless to talk less!" The cell docent waved his hand: "Say!" Why did you get in? If you are a boy who picks flowers, the fists of grandfathers will feed you first. ”

Chen Zheng was also helpless, and said casually: "It's nothing to talk about, I just persuaded the Son of Heaven and the Duke of the Western Zhou and the Duke of the Eastern Zhou to abdicate early in the palace of the Son of Heaven." ”

The prisoners in the cell were all staring at each other with wide eyes and their backs pressed against the wall.

After a while, seven or eight prisoners pointed at Chen Zheng, laughing one by one.

"It's a capital offense for you kid to make up such nonsense, and you also said that you persuaded the Son of Heaven to abdicate in the palace, and if you kid knows where the gate of the palace opens, I'll give you all this month's food, and I'm starving to a skeleton and I'll die with a laugh and a chin knock. Hahahaha! ”

As one prisoner's jaw opened and closed, the other prisoners burst into tears of laughter, and some of them clutched their stomachs and cramped.

Suddenly, the warden appeared outside the cage.

Seven or eight prisoners suddenly lined up in the cage, only to see the Dao'er brother, who was known as the boss, kicking and walking to the front of the queue, shouting: "Look left, look right, look right!" Then, he raised his hands and gestured: "We are pests, ready to ~ sing!" ”

"We are pests, we are pests, righteous spirits, righteous spirits, must be pests..."

"Stop!" The warden shouted.

The boss stopped commanding, turned back on the spot, and said to the warden through the fence: "The pests have been gathered, please instruct!" ”

The warden said, "You have been found guilty, so you have been sent here, and I will reiterate the rules here." The first rule is that it is forbidden to blaspheme the Son of Heaven, and there is no desecration of the Son of Heaven here. You'll learn about the other rules in the future, do you understand? ”

The handsome guy who stole grain from the granary of the government raised his hand and said, "When will you eat?" ”

The warden glanced at the boss, then tilted his head to the side.

The boss walked up to the hungry ghost, punched the man in the stomach, and roared, "If I tell you to eat, you will eat, if you ask you to pull, if you tell you to pull, if you tell you to scatter, you will scatter, do you understand?" ”

The prison warden turned his head again, stared at Chen Zheng and said with a smile: "Today, this Lu Gongzi dares to say the words of abdicating the Son of Heaven in front of the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Duke of the Eastern Zhou. ”

All the prisoners said in unison: "Please rest assured! To the satisfaction of the warden! ”

Before leaving, the prison warden pouted and looked at Chen Zheng: "47671, you can enjoy it here!" ”

Chen Zheng stood up abruptly and roared angrily: "Let me go out, I still have a big business to do!" ”

The warden was startled and said sharply, "47671, don't talk so loudly to the warden!" ”

"I've always spoken so loudly, and just because I'm talking loud doesn't mean I'm rude! Also, What does 47671 mean? You have to make it clear to me! ”

"Lu Gongzi, you are the 47,671st prisoner here since it was built, why do you still want to choose a number? Hahahaha! ”

The warden's laughter faded around the corner outside the cell.

The seven or eight prisoners rolled up their arms and sleeves and walked towards Chen Zheng, and the cell boss laughed and said, "Gentlemen, loosen the muscles and bones of this Lu Gongzi." ”

The prisoners rushed up and pounced on Chen Zheng, who was retreating step by step.

……

"Master Lu, how is my strength? Would you like to be lighter? The cell boss knelt beside the straw mat and pressed his hands on the top of Chen Zheng's head.

Chen Zheng, who was lying on the straw mat, suddenly let out an "oops", and a prisoner who was giving Chen Zheng a foot massage said: "Lu Gongzi, is the acupuncture point I just pressed very painful?" It could be that your body has been hollowed out, but you need to make up for it. ”

The one who pressed the other foot stopped doing it: "No, Lu Gongzi obviously has nothing else wrong except for sweaty feet." ”

The prisoner who pinched his leg said, "Master Lu, why do you dare to let the Son of Heaven abdicate in front of the Son of Heaven?" How did you practice this guts, teach me? ”

All the prisoners said in unison: "Yes, yes, how did you practice?" ”

Chen Zheng lay on the haystack on all fours, thinking to himself, just because he was happy, he was imprisoned, and now he regrets that his intestines are green, so don't hurt others anymore.

"You really want to know?" Chen Zheng sat up suddenly.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the prisoners, Chen Zheng slowly untied his coat.

The prisoners were stupid, only to see that under Chen Zheng's coat, the word "poor" was very eye-catching.

"To tell you the truth, I am an undercover agent sent by the Duke of Western Zhou, just to see if there are any of you who speak ill of the Son of Heaven behind your back, and whether you have dug holes in the wall to prepare for escape."

When the prisoners were stunned, the cell boss gave a thumbs up and said, "Interesting! As an official, Lu Gongzi can still think of our brothers, admire, admire! Then he waved his hand at the others: "What are you still doing in a daze?" The prison warden said, let us serve Lu Gongzi for a good life. Go on! ”

After Chen Zheng was crushed by the prisoners, he obviously felt that everyone's strength had increased.

It was past noon, lunch was still nowhere to be seen, the prisoners were so hungry that their bodies shook, and Chen Zheng was also pressed sore.

It wasn't until late evening that the door to the cell was opened, and a burly man was pushed in.

Chen Zheng thought to himself, this is 47672, right?!

Look at this 47672 again, a height of 1.8 meters, a generous face, a beard, and a cold face without expression.

The cell boss walked up to the beard and was about to speak, but the beard grabbed him by the collar and left the ground with both feet.

The other prisoners wanted to save Lao Dawei from danger, but the bowl of thin soup in the morning lasted until now, and they were all so hungry that their stomachs "gurgled" and they had no strength to fight.

The beard threw the cell boss against the wall to the side, and lay on the ground and snored.

The prisoners looked at each other, but they did not dare to approach.

In the midst of this flurry of "grunting", the people in the cell fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was silence in the cell, and two Xiaoqiang came out of the cracks in the wall, whispering something.

Suddenly, the bearded man turned around and looked in the direction of Chen Zheng, took out a bright dagger from his sleeve, and then stood up and tiptoed over.

The two little strongmen on the wall were so frightened that they drilled back into the crack in the wall, and came out to watch, maybe they need eyewitnesses at the scene of the crime in the future?!

The bearded man came to Chen Zheng, holding a dagger in both hands, and was about to stab downward, when a sack came out of nowhere and covered the guy from head to toe, followed by a storm of punches and kicks.

One Xiaoqiang said to the other: "Have you seen it?" This is called the present world, but you don't dare to be a pest and do bad things. ”

The beard in the sack was also dizzy, and shouted: "I'm an undercover agent sent by the Duke of Eastern Zhou, you don't want to live, do you?" If you don't let me out, I'll let you never want to get out alive! ”

The voice of the cell boss came from outside the sack: "It's the undercover agent of Dong Zhou Gong." Don't forget, this is the territory of the Western Zhou Gong, and today I will teach you a lesson for the Western Zhou Gong. ”

Chen Zheng, who woke up from his sleep, sat up and was about to wave his hand to stop the chaotic scene in front of him, but saw a fellow inmate fly up at the sack, and the sack that had been erected shook a few times, fell to the ground with a "plop", and stopped moving after a few convulsions.

The cell boss walked over to untie the sack, only to see the bearded man stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger in his right hand, and it was clear that such a result was a serious violation of his true will.

……

The next day, near noon, the prison warden came to the cell humming a little tune, only to see that the prisoners were weakly giving Chen Zheng great health care, but the beard on the side was killed by a small sword.

After standing up and resting for a while, the boss of the cell reported to the prison warden: "Report to Sir, the 47672 sent yesterday committed suicide in fear of crime. The report is complete, please instruct! ”

The warden looked at the other prisoners and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Report to Ah Sir, according to your instructions, we are serving this son well, so that he will not be covered in itchy flesh. The report is complete, please instruct! ”

The warden banged his head against the bars of his cell, also speechless.

At this moment, the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty appeared beside the prison warden with two people, and said sharply: "Why don't you open the prison door quickly, ask Lu Gongzi to come out, and wait to receive the reward?!" ”

The warden nodded and pulled out a bunch of keys from his body, and the cell door opened in the blink of an eye.

Chen Zheng stood up and looked outside, and Han Fei and Li Mu were clearly standing behind the Duke Ji of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Ji Ji smiled and said, "Young Master Lu, please?" ”

Chen Zheng was about to step out, but hesitated again, turned around and sat back on the haystack.

Han Fei and Li Mu outside the cell were also stunned, Brother Lu, what's wrong?

Ji Ji walked into the cell and bowed to Chen Zheng: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Yesterday, Mr. Su Dai said that Lu Gongzi and Fan Cheng of Qin State had a very close relationship, and the Son of Heaven still didn't believe it. Today, I heard Han Gongzi say that Lu Gongzi is not only close to Fan Cheng like brothers, but also friends with King Zhao, King Chu, Pingyuan Jun, Xinling Jun, and Chun Shenjun, and the Son of Heaven can't wait to come here to apologize to Lu Gongzi in person! At this time, the Son of Heaven and Mr. Su are waiting for the prince in the palace hall, please come with me, how about it? ”

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't go!" ”

The prisoners stared at each other and were dumbfounded on the spot, this son turned out to be not an undercover agent, nor was he an official, so who was he?

It turned out that after Chen Zheng was imprisoned by Ji Yan, the Son of Heaven, Su Dai saw that his plea was invalid, so he found Li Mu, who was waiting in the post house, to discuss a solution. Li Mu remembered that Han Fei and Xunzi were about to pass through Luoyi, and sure enough, Han Fei's carriage came at the west gate of Luoyi City, and Han Fei entered the palace under the banner of his father.

At this time, looking at Chen Zheng, who was resolute, Ji Ji looked helpless. Han Fei and Li Mu also persuaded each other with good words, but they still didn't work.

Chen Zheng looked at the inmates in front of him who had saved his life, and said to Ji: "Duke of Western Zhou, I don't know what these people have done?" ”

Ji Ji waved his hand to beckon the prison warden, and after some introduction, he learned that because the Son of Heaven lived in Luoyi City, all the expenses of the palace were solved by the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so the people of Luoyi had to pay double rent, one to the Son of Heaven, and one to Ji Ji. These prisoners were ordinary people who were in arrears of rent.

Chen Zheng said angrily: "The city where the Son of Heaven is located should be the best place in the world, but you made it three feet high, and you have forced the people to a dead end, who will support you?" ”

Ji blamed and said: "The sky is three feet high, what do you mean?" ”

"It's just that you scraped the ground and scraped off three feet, isn't it three feet high?! You let them all go, and I can't think about anything else I can't get out. ”

Ji Ji glanced at the prison warden, and the prison warden understood, and said to the prisoners: "Why don't you leave quickly, waiting to receive the reward?!" ”

The prisoners knelt down in front of Chen Zheng with a hula, and after some acceptance speeches, they turned back and walked away step by step.

Only then did Ji Ji see that there was still a person lying on the floor of the cell, who was covered by the prisoners just now and was stunned but didn't find it.

"Who is this?" Ji Ji pointed his finger at his beard.

Chen Zheng sighed and said, "Alas! He was sent here by the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to apologize to me on behalf of the Duke of the Eastern Zhou. ”
