Chapter 120: You Forced Me (Chapter 1 for the Campfire Sellers)
"Your Majesty! Li Yushi just said that the minister was close to Jiannu on Changsheng Island, which was collusion with Jiannu. Then Li Yushi has obscene tools on his body, and he wants to commit adultery. Zhang Dou said, and pointed at Li Yushi's lower body.
At this moment, everyone couldn't hold back, and they all staggered and laughed together. Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse laughed the most exaggeratedly, and slipped down directly on the dragon chair, if Wei Zhongxian hadn't grabbed Zhu Youxiao with his quick eyes, he would have to fall and be injured.
Zhu Youxiao laughed for a while before sitting upright, pointed at Zhang Dou with his finger and said, "It's a good pair of sharp teeth, but you actually said so in the Golden Palace...... Well! In such a case, I will punish you for three months, and retreat! ”
Zhang Dou heard that it was just a punishment? I don't seem to have received a good war! Quickly bow your head and admit your mistakes, and you will be able to make up for sleep again after reaching the pillar.
But who knew that another person stood up and said: "The minister participated in Zhang Dou's collusion with Jiannu!" Let Abatai go! ”
When Emperor Zhu Youxiao heard this, he frowned. Why haven't you played it yet, how can you stand up for one after you just went down? He said patiently: "Master Zuo, please speak if you have something!" ”
This person is one of the cabinet members, although the one at the end of the ranking is also the cabinet elder, and his words should naturally be taken seriously.
Zuo Guangdou came to the center of the Golden Palace and said, "Your Majesty, the official ship escorting Abatai was not completely wiped out, and one person survived. This person said that the person who hijacked the ship that day was the sailor of Changsheng Island! ”
His words caused an uproar in the hall, and the ministers were extremely surprised. Didn't you say that all the people on the official ship were wiped out? It's really alive! Why didn't you come out earlier to testify against Zhang Dou?
Zhang Dou was not afraid when he heard this, and he said to Zuo Guangdou: "Oh? And still alive? It can't be Zuo University scholar Zhao Ren pretending! Can you let Zhang Dou see it! ”
"Why not!" After Zuo Guangdou finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Youxiao.
Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao said with a cold face: "Xuan! ”
A little eunuch at the door immediately shouted loudly outside: "Your Majesty has a will!" Announce the arrival of the surviving escort official ship! The little eunuch's shrill voice spread far and wide, and was relayed by others to the outside of the palace.
Not long after, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man walked up to the main hall, and as soon as this person entered the Jinluan Palace, he fell to his knees with a "poof". Kowtowed again and again: "Long live the little pawn of the brocade guard to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”
Zhu Youxiao jumped a few times when he saw this person's eyebrows, this person didn't look like a good person, he looked like a cunning person.
"Get up and speak!" Zhu Youxiao still asked this person to get up and talk back.
"Long live thanks!" This man got up and stood in the golden hall in an orderly manner, not daring to look left and right.
Zuo Guangdou came to this person and said, "Hou Xiaotian, tell me about the situation that day!" ”
Hou Xiaotian recalled and said: "On that day, Xiao and Gao Qianhu escorted Abatai back to Beijing, and they were caught up by Zhang Dou's thief's sea ship off Tianjin. They also kept saying that they were here to escort us back to Beijing, and the Sixth Taibao was deceived by them without checking for a while. They sent some wine and meat to the ship, and everyone was weak after eating it, and they were stabbed to death one by one with daggers.
Pity those colleagues! In this way, he was stabbed to death by Zhang Dou's thieves, and the little one had a bad stomach that day, and it was convenient in the cabin, so he didn't eat that meal of wine. The little one took advantage of the fact that those thieves were not jumped into the sea, and floated for five days before being rescued. Long live the little one! ”
After listening to Hou Xiaotian's words, the officials in the hall all looked at Zhang Dou, and Zuo Guangdou also snorted heavily.
Zhang Dou said to the apocalypse: "Your Majesty! Can the minister ask the monkey a few questions? ”
"Monkeys?" Zhu Youxiao asked puzzled.
"Your Majesty! When this man first arrived on Immortal Island, those brocade guards called him a monkey, and the minister remembered this person's name! Zhang Dou said.
"Then ask the monkey!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse listened to it funny, and followed Zhang Dou to call the monkey to Hou Xiaotian.
Zhang Dou paced in front of Hou Xiaotian, and the monkey took a step back in fright.
"Monkeys, right? The officer asks you, what kind of sea ship has caught up with you? Zhang Dou asked.
"Bird boat! However, the sails are different from other bird boats, but they are very fast! The monkey replied.
"What kind of food and drinks are you bringing to you?" Zhang Dou asked.
"There is ......," Hou Xiaotian replied fluently.
"You're in the cabin for convenience? With a toilet? Zhang Dou asked.
Hou Xiaotian was about to answer when he was interrupted by Zuo Guangdou, who angrily reprimanded Zhang Dou and said, "Zhang Dou! How long are you going to make trouble? The hall will not allow you to mess around! ”
Zhang Dou said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty! The question asked by the minister is very important, and it is related to the innocence of the minister! ”
Zhu Youxiao hesitated, he also wanted to know what Zhang Dou was going to ask? also nodded to Zhang Dou, Zuo Guangdou saw that the emperor actually connived at Zhang Dou, and glared at Zhang Dou with his eyes and stopped making a sound.
Hou Xiaotian had no choice but to say when he saw Zhang Dou looking at it: "The small one is convenient in the cabin, and it is indeed a toilet that is used." ”
"Where is your cabin? The tail floor, the first floor? Or below deck! Zhang Dou asked quickly and quickly, and he didn't give Hou Xiaotian time to think at all.
"Huh! The small cabin is below deck", and the aft building is where the sixth wife stays. He wanted to say that he lived in the tail building, but the boat was towed back to Changsheng Island by Zhang Dou. As long as you carefully search and disembark, you can find out which room he is in, and this can't be faked.
He offended Zhang Dou on Changsheng Island, and also befriended Gao Qiliang, the sixth Taibao. He was assigned to live below deck with lowly sailors, and did not dare to complain about anything.
Zhang Dou asked again: "How do you know that the people on the ship were killed, and how did they escape from the cabin?" ”
"Well! The little one first heard someone crying for help, and then the little one saw someone go down to the deck and start killing. The little one jumped into the sea and escaped alone for fear of being killed, which is really ashamed of the Sixth Taibao! Hou Xiaotian said with a sigh.
Zhang Dou suddenly raised his voice and said, "You're lying! ”
"I didn't!" Hou Xiaotian was taken aback by Zhang Dou and hurriedly defended.
Zhang Dou stared at Hou Xiaotian's eyes and said, "There are no windows below the deck at all, only portholes for ventilation. That poor little porthole can't even get out of a child, let alone an adult of your age. So you're lying! ”
Hou Xiaotian was shocked into a cold sweat all of a sudden, and he ignored an important issue. The portholes on the sea vessels are so small that they can't get out at all.
He hesitated for a long time before he said: "The little one remembered it wrong, it was the little one who hid in the debris pile, and waited for those thieves to leave before jumping into the sea!" ”
Zhang Dou laughed when he heard this, "The thieves are gone, why are you still jumping into the sea?" Is it fun to soak in the seawater? Or do you want to die yourself, try your luck, and see if you can meet a ship that will catch you? ”
At this time, Hou Xiaotian's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he was trembling and speechless. This loophole is too big, how could you ignore it?
"That...... Forehead! Well, this one! …… It's the little one who is in a hurry, and the little one who has practiced the bone shrinking technique can get out of the porthole! He said as he quibbled and wiped his sweat.
Now he has no choice but to make it up, but anyone can see that he is lying. Even Zuo Guangdou shook his head gently, he didn't understand where Luo Sigong found such a waste, and even the fabricated lies were full of loopholes.
Zhang Dou said to Hou Xiaotian with a smile: "Even if you can shrink your bones, do you know? People can live up to three days without drinking water, hey! Don't tell me you drink seawater, everyone knows that seawater is salty, and the more you drink, the thirstier you get. If you can't even drink seawater for three days, you'll be finished! ”
Zhang Dou's last sentence completely shattered Hou Xiaotian's luck psychology, and he sat down on the ground, stunned.
Zhang Dou glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian said with understanding: "Your Majesty! There is also a living person on the official ship, and he has been incognito since he was rescued, hoping to expose the tricks of Jiannu! ”
"Oh?" Zhu Youxiao became interested, "Who is it?" Come in! ”
"Yes!" Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said, "Xuanjin Yiwei Thousand Households Gao Qiliang is here!" ”
Hearing Gao Qiliang's name, Hou Xiaotian exclaimed: "Impossible, that knife obviously pierced his heart, how could he not die!" ”
He said to himself that everyone in the hall said, "Oh! "Now, it turns out that this Hou Xiaotian is a spy, and it's really hateful to bite back here now.
Not long after, a person walked in from outside the hall, and this person first came to Hou Xiaotian after giving a salute to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
"Monkey! You didn't expect that! Gao's heart is different from ordinary people, crooked by an inch. Your stab almost cost you someone's life! Gao Qiliang glared at the monkey and said.
The monkey muttered to himself, "You forced me!" You forced me! As he spoke, he jerked his hand into his arms and removed the underwear he was wearing, which was particularly thick. Since he came in with the scholar Zuo Guangdou, the general of the station hall did not particularly embarrass him. When they found that he was not carrying a sharp weapon, they let him in.
The monkey quickly formed a cloth bag and blew lightly on one end. A puff of white smoke came out of the cloth bag, and the monkey threw the cloth bag into the apocalypse on the dragon chair. He also shouted, "Let's die together!" ”
