Chapter 153: Yuan Xi admits instigation (three watches)
"This ...... This. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhang Cheng looked at Xu You with some embarrassment, although Yuan Jiang didn't say anything to him, when he was also a shrewd person, he already knew from the conversations of a few people that this plate of grass by the Qingqing River must be poisonous, in order to save his life, of course he didn't dare to try it.
What's more, even if he eats and dies, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Xu You and others, so that he will not be able to complete the task assigned by Yuan Jiang, and his death will not be able to exchange for endless glory and wealth for his wife and children, so he can't eat.
Seeing him shake his head, the smile in Xu You's eyes became even stronger, and he asked, "Eat, why don't you dare to eat, didn't you swear that you had tried it just now?" Then why don't you eat it again, could it be that this dish is really poisonous? ”
Zhang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not poisonous, it's not poisonous, this is a special order for the guests to eat, how can it be poisonous?" ”
Xu You picked up a small piece of poison hemlock with chopsticks and sent it to Zhang Cheng, "Come, Zhang Zhangzhang will eat one for us to see." ”
Zhang Cheng was in a hurry, "This dish will be served to other guests tomorrow, if I eat it, what will the guests do?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Xu You glanced at Yuan Jiang, who was secretly sweating, and said with a smile: "I don't think Gongzi Jiang will blame you." ”
Yuan Jiang smiled when he saw him, "Zhang Zhang, you can take a bite." If it's really okay, won't I clear the suspicion for this son; In case something happens, I'll take care of your family too. ”
Yuan Jiang deliberately bit the word "family" very hard, after Zhang Cheng heard it, he shivered excitedly, and his eyes couldn't help but appear in front of his three-year-old son, a toddler's picture, his teeth were bitten, his heart was horizontal, he nodded and said: "Eat it, this dish is not poisonous, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
As he spoke, he snatched the chopsticks from Xu You's hand, and without hesitation, he stuffed the small piece of poison celery into his mouth and chewed it carefully, [Tsk, it tastes good, it is worthy of being made by Yuan Fu's spoon, it is better than TM's prison rice. 】
In order not to be a starving ghost, Zhang Cheng simply snatched the plate directly from Xu You's hand after eating the poisonous hemlock, feasted on it, and licked the plate at the end, burping contentedly.
When he was eating poison hemlock, Yuan Jiang's heart was always hanging in his throat, he was ready, if Zhang Cheng died, Xu Yu came to condemn, he would summon the Bai Yu army hidden in the shadows, and wipe out Yuan Xi and others, anyway, this is his territory, who he wants to die is not a matter of words.
[Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you can't blame me for being ruthless, your son is taking the initiative to find death. 】
Yuan Jiang was silently thinking in his heart, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, Yuan Jiang turned his head suspiciously, and saw Liu Ye with a smile on his face, who was smiling and nodding to him at this time, from his flat eyes, Yuan Jiang had already learned that this matter had not yet gone to the extreme.
Liu Ye walked up to him and whispered, "Don't worry, Childe, Zhang Cheng won't die." ”
Yuan Jiang was a little puzzled by his comfort, after all, he hadn't told Liu Ye about poisoning Yuan Xi.
But thinking of Liu Ye's talent and wisdom, Yuan Jiang was also relieved, the white-faced scholar in front of him, who had just passed the year of the weak crown, was the core strategist under Cao Cao in history, and his means can be imagined, and it is very simple to know such a thing.
But Yuan Jiang was still curious about something, so he asked in a low voice: "Brother Ziyang, how can you guarantee that this Zhang Cheng will not die?" ”
Liu Ye smiled like a cunning fox, and he said: "I secretly exchanged the wine that Gongzi secretly gave to Chun Yuqiong and Zhang Nan to drink, and I also gave it to Zhang Cheng to drink, so he will definitely not die." ”
"Awesome my brother." Yuan Jiang couldn't help but approve.
Liu Ye hurriedly replied, "Childe doesn't have to be amazed, let alone call me brother, after all, I'm just one of your subordinates to join the army." ”
Yuan Jiang smiled wryly, and didn't explain the meaning of the sentence just now to Liu Ye, but just moved his gaze to Xu You and the others, he was now looking forward to it - Zhang Cheng is not dead, how will Xu You end, as for Yuan Xi was directly filtered out by him, without Xu You's assistance, Yuan Xi is a clown who can't get on the stage, it's not worth mentioning.
Seeing Zhang Cheng eat all the grass by the Qingqing River, Xu You originally thought that after Zhang Cheng finished eating, he would definitely be poisoned to death, and he was even ready to condemn Yuan Jiang later.
But something unexpected happened to him.
Zhang Cheng finished eating the plate of grass by the Qingqing River, and there was nothing to do, except for a few burps, he didn't see any symptoms of poisoning.
"It's weird."
It was not only Xu Yu who was puzzled, but also Zhang Cheng, who thought that if he ate a whole plate of grass by the Qingqing River, he would immediately die of poison, but after waiting for a long time, he did not show any signs of poisoning, but had some aftertaste of poisonous hemlock.
He pursed his lips and said to Xu You, who had a gloomy face, with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I didn't lie to you, this plate of grass by the Qingqing River is not poisonous at all." ”
Xu You's face gradually became gloomy as water, and Yuan Xi and the others all looked at him, expecting him to give a good solution.
Yuan Jiang took over the conversation in due course, "Mr. Xu, what else do you have to say now?" ”
Xu You hung his head and said, "I...... I have nothing to say. ”
Yuan Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and his playful gaze fell on Yuan Xi's body, "Second brother, I don't care about the fact that you were instigated by someone to frame me for poisoning, after all, this is also your unintentional move; However, there must be an explanation for the fact that you brought your men to my mansion tonight. After all, this is Huainan, not Jizhou. ”
"This ...... This. In the face of Yuan Jiang's accusation, Yuan Xi couldn't answer for a long time, so he had to turn his head and set his eyes on Xu Yu for help.
Xu You hadn't come to his senses at this time, and combed through the context of the whole thing over and over again, hoping to find a flaw in it and give Yuan Jiang a fatal blow, but at this point, he didn't notice Yuan Xi's distress gaze.
Seeing that Xu Yu didn't intervene for a long time, Yuan Xi thought that he was also ashamed and had no choice, so he had to lick his face and smile: "Brother Xian, this incident is indeed a foolish brother's recklessness, and I hope you can forgive me." ”
Yuan Jiang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Second brother, it's not my brother and I opened my mouth, it's just that I have no face for you to make trouble about this matter, so you can't just leave it like this, right?" ”
Yuan Xi asked: "Brother Xian, what do you want, just tell Brother Yu, as long as I have it, I will give it to you." ”
Yuan Jiang walked to Yuan Xi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The second brother said this, I dare to ask for anything, I just ask the second brother to re-purchase the damaged things, and give some money to comfort those injured family members, I think this matter is over, after all, if it is a big trouble, it is not good for anyone." ”
Glancing at Gao Ran, who was sneering beside him, Yuan Jiang added: "Second brother, you scolded General Gao just now, you should also apologize." ”
