Chapter 532: A "Thief Ship"
When the big boat rented by King Zhou sailed from Xuanhuadu again, there was another person on the boat who gathered to eat and drink as promised, Xie Baijiu only carried an extremely simple outfit on the boat, as if he didn't know that King Zhou and Lan Ting had confirmed that he had many retinues, and this time when he got on the boat, he deliberately stared at Chungui to look at it, and did not forget to show that he was quite surprised that the other party was dressed as a man and could look fake, when the big ship left the ferry and was invited to sit at a table with King Zhou and others to drink and talk, I heard that Chungui actually put "Your Highness" The word blurted out, and Xie Baijiu smashed the wine glass on his instep in shock.
"Your Highness?!"
aroused a crowd of watchful eyes, Xie Baijiu seemed to be surprised to realize that he was standing on a lonely stage.
looked at Zhao Lanting first, this person was concentrating on picking the fish bones, and put the delicious fish meat on a small plate in front of his daughter-in-law who was dressed as a man.
By the way, he looked at the fake man who opened the curtain on the other side with only the word "His Highness", and at the same time smiled at a plate of fish and meat and poured a glass of wine for the considerate husband.
His Royal Highness King Zhou seemed to have little interest in wine and food, but looked at him with a dark face and a very serious face.
The other Mo asked Xiaodao to puff out his cheeks and didn't know what he was chewing, and as soon as his eyes met him, his eyes showed a sneering look: "What do you see?" There is no poison in the wine and meat, and after eating this meal, it takes more time to torture to extract a confession. ”
Xie Baijiu: I'm afraid I'm on a thief ship!!
The two sides of the strait have long been gone, and the reeds are uninhabited, and calling for help is obviously ineffective, Xie Baijiu's eyes swept away, and he even met the indifferent and gloomy eyes of many guards dressed as servants......
The blood on his face faded little by little.
But the rest of the people were not in a hurry to ask questions at all, they ate and drank as usual, and the husband and wife were like no one around them to interpret what it means to raise their eyebrows and love each other, Zhou Wang was tried to please by Mo Wen Xiaodao, and even began to talk with him, only Xie Baijiu sat on the edge of the table like a spur, and suddenly a servant girl silently approached and said: "Xie Langjun is a slave and maid with poor cooking skills that are difficult to swallow?" ”
Xie Baijiu hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, but this time the chopsticks also smashed on the instep of his foot.
Chungui saw Xie Baijiu's style clearly with the corner of his eye, and he was very disdainful in his heart: pretending to be panicked, but he didn't even shake his hands, which shows that he has been prepared for the debunking of his identity, but he didn't expect that we would use this way to debunk it, and it is not a disguise to be at a loss, he is calm and fast, his mentality is very strong, and it is true that there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals.
Speaking of the way to debunk is actually the proposition of Chungui, Lan Ting also feels that there are positive benefits, so he adopted it without reservation, satisfying Chungui's interest in taunting his opponent, and King Zhou has been kept in the dark, he was taken aback when he heard Chungui call out the "Your Highness", of course, he quickly came back to his senses, and the situation with a black face at first was particularly realistic, that is, this person did complain that he was excluded from his heart again.
However, the act of playing tricks on the opponent really made King Zhou feel very happy, not to mention that the little woman finally showed signs of releasing his suspicions because of his effective cooperation, and King Zhou immediately stood on the edge of the alliance.
How about this king being at your disposal, helping you?
After thinking about this for a lifetime, King Zhou immediately felt that something was wrong......
Uh, as if you're the one who ultimately benefits?
No matter
After all, it is shoulder to shoulder and work together, which is gratifying!
So although he achieved his goal, Xie Baijiu, who was really a little nervous about the situation, sat stiffly and listened to the discussion of how the opponent should deal with him.
"In the eyes of this king, there is no need to torture to extract confessions, if this person is not a disciple of the King of Qi, he will be a disciple of the King of Qin, since he rushed to send him to death, it is enough to fulfill him, this long river of waves, the bleak and barren embankment on both sides of the river, is an excellent place to destroy the corpse." When he was full of wine and food, His Royal Highness King Zhou squinted his eyes and said the proposal first.
Xie Baijiu: ......
"The court thought that since this person had so many people to be sent at will, he was definitely not as insignificant as the other group of people in Jiuhui Xiang, and he should be quite trusted by the mastermind behind him, and it was still necessary to extort confessions by torture, and he knew that the other party could win all battles." Lan Ting offered a different opinion.
Xie Baijiu: Yes, yes, I still have something to use, how can I destroy the corpse without saying a word?
"Since he is quite trustworthy, he must not confess easily, and there should be important people who are used as threats by his mastermind, so what is the use of interrogation? Although it is important to know oneself and know one's opponent, destroying one of the opponent's chess pieces first also has a deterrent effect, so it is better to simply kill it. King Zhou insisted.
Xie Baijiu: !!
"If Your Highness wants to achieve the effect of deterrence, you must also know who the war letter should be given to, and interrogation is of course necessary." Lan Ting also insisted.
Xie Baijiu almost couldn't help but agree with it.
Mo Wenxiao, who was already drunk, threw the wine glass directly into the river: "Hurry up and decide, you two, Xiaodao has not seen blood on his hands for a long time, if you want to kill, you have to give an order, Xiaodao guarantees that there will be no future troubles for killing, and the confession will be true." ”
Xie Baijiu: You are a monk, are you such a fierce monk?!
"Okay, this person will be handed over to the Taoist to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, this king likes the Taoist chief's temperament of being so happy and vengeful!" King Zhou stroked his palms and laughed.
"It's inappropriate, whether it's destroying corpses or extorting confessions by torture, it's against national law and etiquette." Lan Ting frowned.
"Deputy Envoy Zhao still sticks to these rules?" King Zhou laughed and laughed.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to ignore the law of the country in order to seek power?" Lan Ting's brows furrowed even tighter.
Inexplicably, the camp was filled with a smell of gunsmoke.
It was only at this time that Chungui exerted her instinct as a woman to mediate: "If you have something to say, there is no conclusion for a while, and then you can discuss it calmly...... The trip is still long. ”
The violent Mo Wen Xiaodao threw the wine glass of the spring return into the rolling Yangtze River.
Xie Baijiu: ......
Mo Wendao, who is famous for his soul, asks the elder to be so murderous to the living? The master is right, Mo Wen must be a god who deceives the world and steals his name!
In any case, Xie Baijiu staggered into the bilge on the first day of boarding without even catching a full meal, and this night he slept on the deck naturally tossing and turning and couldn't close his eyes, and he was actually not worried about losing his life - just like his deliberate climbing, the "dinner table discussion" also seemed to have a strong stage style, he knew that the opponent's singing and slapping black face and white face in turn was nothing more than to destroy his will, whether it was His Royal Highness King Zhou or Zhao Lanting, they were definitely not murderous people, And killing him as a nobody has no effect on the battle for the storage position at all, but keeping him alive may be able to gain something, but in fact, even Xie Baijiu himself can't understand the master's instructions, and he doesn't know what strength his chess piece has to determine the outcome of the game.
And the other party's methods are also confusing, what if the performance is smashed?
Whether it's a bad performance or not, even he doesn't have a standard for judging himself.
This is really a confused charge, Xie Baijiu said that the pressure is as heavy as Mount Tai.
And in the upper cabin, Lan Ting also smiled at this time and pushed open the door of Danyangzi's room, and the old Taoist eyes that had just finished breathing opened a thin slit, and immediately closed them, I really hated that I had never opened my eyes and was still in my mind, but he just thought that it was the beautiful and kind-hearted apricot girl who sent a delicious and hearty meal, but it turned out to be such an uninvited guest as Deputy Envoy Zhao!
He was so hungry that he didn't use his mind to distinguish the sound of footsteps, miscalculated, miscalculated......
"Even if the Taoist is still in the meditation, he still has to be disturbed when he should be disturbed." Lan Ting found a chair and sat down, smiling leisurely.
Danyangzi: Where is my prestige as a royal Taoist doctor?!
But this is not the palace, but on the thief ship of His Royal Highness King Zhou, Danyangzi had to swallow his anger and completely open his eyes in order not to be driven off the thief ship.
"The Confucian surnamed Xie who got on the ship today, I have basically concluded that he is the instigation of the Duke of Wei." Lan Ting is straight to the point.
The old and sophisticated Danyangzi was of course able to hear the strings, and shook his head away again and again: "A cautious person like Wei Guogong will not let idlers know about the dealings between Lao Dao and him, Lao Dao has no ability to talk about it." ”
"A wise person like Wei Guogong certainly understands that the Taoist is not idle, and there will definitely be an exception for the Taoist to treat the Taoist as ...... Give the Taoist a certain token, so that the Taoist can mobilize a certain number of people with the token. Lan Ting was still smiling leisurely.
Danyoko: ......
"Of course, if the Taoist chief refuses to help, he can't force it, but ...... The Taoist chief said that he would help His Royal Highness King Zhou to get the prince, and how could His Royal Highness and the court believe it? ”
Danyangzi glared at Lan Ting for a while: "If Deputy Envoy Zhao refuses to believe it, he will have to drive away from the old way and not be allowed to go along?" ”
"It's reasonable that the Tao is different and doesn't conspire with each other."
Danyangzi was defeated again: "Okay, good, Lao Dao promised to go to the talk." But he had a heart attack and closed his eyes in anger.
Lan Ting smiled slightly and left leisurely.
King Zhou waited outside the cabin, beckoning to Lanting a few times, but he couldn't wait to greet him: "What, Danyangzi agreed?" ”
"Naturally, I won't refuse."
"How easy it could be?"
Lan Ting smiled and said nothing.
So in the middle of the night at the third watch, the bilge was even darker, and it was difficult to distinguish the five fingers, because of this damp and sullen environment, Xie Baijiu felt even more anxious, and he was as tormented as if he was tortured, and he suddenly gave birth to a new realization-the master knew that he couldn't suffer, and his will was not firm enough, so he chose him to perform this task, wouldn't it make him more logical when he "confessed", and there was no trace of artificiality at all?
But why does the master let the opponent know the secret?
People have been in the dark for a long time, and the doubts in their hearts seem to be accumulating more and more, Xie Baijiu really wants to be tortured immediately, but it is best not to ask Na Mo Xiaodao to do it, because that person is really terrible, it is better to have a gentle confession coercion, is there any way to make Zhao Lanting's charming wife exercise beauty tricks?
As soon as I was thinking, I heard the crisp sound of the door lock opening in the silence.
Xie Baijiu's eyes widened immediately.
