Chapter 156: The Prisoner's Dilemma, Paving the Way Back

Gu Panxi's intuition is very accurate. When the Xu family was interrogated by Bao Wei, they suddenly showed their feet. She didn't even need to rely on a "confidant" to take a lie detector, because the confessions of the three members of the Xu family were not at all preamble.

The question that exposed them is very simple: how did Mrs. Xu die, when did she die, and what was the situation at that time.

The Xu family should never have dreamed that Mrs. Xu's death would be in such a big trouble, and because they saw so many people who were brought to Dali Temple at the same time as the three of them, they didn't realize that the three of them had already been targeted by Gu Panxi's pair of torch eyes. Because the three of them did not collude to confess at all, they were arrested at once when the officials who were assigned to the bag were interrogated separately.

As the closest person, he openly said that Mrs. Xu died of illness, but he didn't even know exactly how she died, when she died, and what the situation was at that time, saying that they had nothing to do with Mrs. Xu's death, who would believe it?

At this point, the suspicions of these three people have been clarified, and the rest of the matter is much easier.

found that things were as Gu Panxi expected, it was the three members of the Xu family who were the most suspenseful, Tie Muzi's eyes widened, and his stunned mood overshadowed the embarrassment of not being able to get off the stage, and he sighed for a long time: "Tiger poison is not yet eaten." It seems that people are not as good as tigers. ”

Gu Panxi patted him on the shoulder, didn't say much, raised his feet and walked to Bao Wei's side, and told him what he should do next.

Gu Panxigui is true for Princess Zhao, but the princess has no real power, let alone the power to manage the affairs of Dali Temple. From the bright side, it is still necessary to preside over the overall situation from the actual head of this Dali Temple.

After listening to Gu Panxi's advice, Bao Wei's eyes widened, and he smiled bitterly: "Princess, can't we simply torture the truth neatly?" Why bother? ”

Gu Panxi's eyes widened and he said, "Just by torture, how do you know if the confession you confessed is true or false?" This concubine doesn't want a criminal, but a confessed real murderer! ”

This is indeed very important to Gu Panxi. If there are three members of the Xu family, and someone is guilty of another person, she will not be able to continue to find out the person who instructed the real murderer to kill Mrs. Xu.

The package is different and helpless, so I can only obediently follow Gu Panxi's instructions. He called three messengers, and after conveying Gu Panxi's instructions one by one, he asked these three messengers to interrogate the three members of the Xu family respectively.

Zhao Zhong and Tie Muzi also heard Gu Panxi's instructions to pack different things, and they were very curious about it.

Temuzi asked: "Stinky girl, your method sounds so interesting, but is it really feasible?" ”

Gu Panxi smiled and said, "Is it feasible or not, Lao Tie, will you know when you look at it later?" ”

The three messengers began to interrogate the three members of the Xu family separately.

This time, they are still talking about the same thing with the three members of the Xu family: your husband/son/wife has already confessed. You just confess, and if you do, we will consider reducing your sentence as appropriate. If you don't confess, then you're guilty of one more degree! Not only will no one in your family be able to get away with it, but the innocent will be charged with shielding and complicity! Think about it!

The Prisoner's Dilemma.

This is a classic question in psychology. It is said that a number of prisoners, faced with the choice of maximizing their own interests, are very likely to take the initiative to betray and betray other prisoners because of the assumption of betrayal and betrayal of other prisoners, and strive to reduce their own punishment.

After hearing what the messenger said, the Xu family of three was shaken to varying degrees.

Temuzi stroked his long beard and said, "Stinky girl, your trick is indeed very good. But didn't you use the wrong object? This Xu family of three, but blood is thicker than water. Could it be that they really shake their trust in their relatives because of a frivolous threat from the messenger? ”

Gu Panxi glanced at him, and didn't look back: "Lao Tie, isn't the blood of Mrs. Xu and the Xu family of three thicker than water?" ”

“……”

Temuzi was deflated, and he was suddenly speechless. He has always been shackled by traditional decadent values such as "Three Principles and Five Constants" and "Three Obedience and Four Virtues", and he can't jump out of his own thinking circle, so he will be asked by Gu Panxi again and again and be speechless.

This stinky girl, who is young, how can she refine such a pair of fiery eyes that see through human nature? In this matter, the old man can worship her as a teacher...... Bah! How could the old man have such a ridiculous idea!

Tie Muzi, who has never been able to live forever, suddenly found that his attitude towards Gu Panxi changed from admiration to admiration, and he got goosebumps all over his body, and pinched his thigh twice angrily, so that he could sober his mind a little and put aside these outrageous distractions.

Gu Panxi heard Tie Muzi's stumbling movements, and didn't know that he was experiencing an unexpected psychological struggle, but this old guy's skin was itchy again.

Zhao Zhong said: "Princess, then do you think that this Xu family of three, who will be the first to endure and confess to seek commutation?" Who was it that killed Mrs. Xu? ”

This question also aroused Tie Muzi's interest, and before Gu Panxi could speak, he interrupted first.

"Wait, let the teacher think about it too. This limelight, you can't let this stinky girl take all of it. ”

Gu Panxi glanced at Tie Muzi, and saw that under his cloak and hair, a pair of eyes were blazing, and it seemed that he was also serious, and he didn't bother to splash him with cold water, and said with a smile: "Then wait for Lao Tie to say it first." Concubine Ben said again. Lao Tie, this is a game, right? If you lose, what do you give to Ben Concubine? ”

Temuzi's eyes widened and he said, "If you win as a teacher, you stinky girl will have to obediently worship as a teacher!" ”

Just thinking about what you want to gain if you win, but not saying how you lost at all, is really full of Tiemuzi's style.

Of course, Gu Panxi would not let Tiemuzi be fooled, she raised her hand and rolled up her tassel, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, good, if you really win the concubine, the concubine will willingly be your old man's apprentice." But ah, Lao Tie, if Concubine Ben wins, you have to willingly accept Concubine Ben's condition. In this way, the competition can be considered effective. ”

Tiemuzi raised one eyebrow and patted his chest: "What kind of panacea do you want, just say it!" If the teacher frowned halfway, the three words of Tiemuzi would be written backwards. ”

Gu Panxi flicked the tassel behind his ear and said with a smile: "Who wants you to have any inspirational medicine, Lao Tie, you are really a philistine." Concubine, I hope you can accept Dongmei as an apprentice. At the same time, approve Dongmei to choose some clever offspring maids in the palace and share with them some of the basic pharmacological knowledge you teach. ”

Tie Muzi was stunned, even Zhao Zhong was incredible.

"Stinky girl, what do you mean by this request?"

Gu Panxi put one hand on his cheek and asked lazily: "What do you mean?" ”

Tie Muzi slapped his thigh and said angrily: "If you don't want to be the apprentice of the teacher, you will push your personal maid to humiliate the teacher, you are so bold!" Do you think that my tolerance for you is really unlimited? ”

Temuzi was really angry, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Zhao Zhong was caught in the middle and wanted to persuade him, but he knew that it was inconvenient for him to speak.

Gu Panxi was not flustered, turned his head and looked directly at Tie Muzi's eyes that burst out of flames, and said, "Lao Tie, this concubine is like a sister to Dongmei, you should know, right?" Others think that Dongmei is the maid of the concubine, you shouldn't think so. How can this concubine humiliate you by recommending her sister to you and making her your apprentice? ”

Temuzi was silent, as if he didn't buy it, but he couldn't think of how to refute it.

Gu Panxi smiled bitterly, changed his words, and said: "Lao Tie, all dynasties, what happened to the losers who won the heir?" You should know very well. ”

Temuzi seemed to feel something, and opened his mouth.

Gu Panxi knew that with the shrewdness of this bad old man, he must have guessed what he wanted to say, and said calmly: "This concubine is full of confidence in herself, and she also thinks that the prince will become a benevolent monarch." However, the world is unpredictable, and it is difficult to predict who will win or lose in this battle for succession. If the prince and the concubine win, Dongmei and those subordinates will naturally ascend to heaven, but what if we lose? They just escaped from the palace by luck, and they were not connected, and how to make a living in the future has also become a problem. If Dongmei can become the apprentice of you, the world's miracle doctor, those servants can learn some pharmacological knowledge, and finally have a craft, and they can take care of themselves and their families' two meals a day. ”

Although Zhao Zhong is not a subordinate, he is also under the command of Zhao Wangfu, and he knows the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost, and when he heard Gu Panxi think so much about his subordinates, he couldn't help but be moved to quietly turn his face away and wipe the corners of his eyes.

"Ding...... Received 10 points of gratitude from Zhao Zhong! ”

Temuzi was also really dumbfounded.

In this era, the lives of the servants are not much better, even if they are not as cheap as pigs and dogs. When the masters really can't protect themselves, who will care about the life and death of these subordinates, let alone find out where they are going. Gu Panxi actually considered how to pave the way for his subordinates when he was defeated, such a mind was too advanced, so advanced that Tiemuzi was ashamed of himself.

Temuzi wanted to speak and stopped, and it took a long time before he sighed and said three words.

"Okay, I promise you for the teacher."

"Dawu seems to be blessed."

"If he doesn't inherit the unification of the Qing Dynasty in the future, let your mother serve the world, and be the first to refuse to agree as a teacher! Even if you use poison to force each other, you have to ask the government to change the edict! ”

Gu Panxi laughed and said, "Lao Tie, you dare to say this kind of rebellious words." ”

Although Zhao Zhong didn't dare to say something rebellious with Tiemuzi, he also secretly swore in his heart that as long as he Zhao Zhong still had a breath of air, he would swear allegiance to Gu Panxi!
