Chapter 92: House Arrest?
As soon as they heard that they were not allowed to go out, people couldn't calm down. If what the old lady said is true, doesn't it mean that they have been placed under house arrest here?
But...... Everyone recalled this journey, but they didn't feel persecuted by the other party?
It seems that someone led them all the way here, and they also had good food, drink, and hospitality, and even the emperor gave them up, so it seems a bit ...... Doesn't make sense!?
Han Feng was also aware of this problem, and hurriedly asked the eunuch palace maid in the hall, wanting to find out Niu Zongzheng and ask him clearly.
At this time, Liangzi, who had already been the emperor once, told everyone that at this time, Niu Zongzheng should be dealing with the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, and he could not come for the time being. However, if you can't ask the big official, you can ask the eunuch.
These eunuchs can understand their words, and they can write!
That's the case, people hurriedly surrounded a little eunuch who was guarding the bamboo sticks and asked, what the hell is going on? Who knows, the little eunuch was extremely timid, and in the face of everyone, he was red-faced and panicked.
No matter what the crowd said, he just shook his head vigorously.
Someone was in a hurry, and grabbed his clothes and tore them. The little eunuch was so frightened that he covered his ears and simply sat on the ground.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
When the crowd was excited, Na Niu Zongzheng had already finished handling the emperor's enthronement ceremony and returned to the hall.
As soon as they saw Niu Zongzheng, everyone let go of the little eunuch and gathered around him.
However, Niu Zongzheng is experienced, in the face of the siege of everyone, he did not panic, and still asked unhurriedly, distinguished guests, so excited, what is the so-called?
Everyone hurriedly asked him, what did it mean not to let them out of this hall?
"Oh...... Well, this one! You heard it wrong! Misheard! After Niu Zongzheng understood, he hurriedly waved his hand at everyone again and again, signaling everyone to calm down. Waiting for everyone to be silent for a moment, then they explained, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" It's not that you can't get out of this hall, but you can't get out of this palace!! ”
Yes?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and a sense of foreboding instantly surged in their hearts.
"Niu Zongzheng, what do you mean by that?" Han Feng glared, "Why don't you let us out?" ”
"Huh? VIPs are angry, VIPs are angry! Niu Zongzheng said politely, "Don't let everyone go out of the palace, it's also for everyone's sake!?" You are all distinguished guests, how can you speak the same day as those untouchables in our country? Isn't that tantamount to self-defeating? Stay here, fine clothes and food, some people can still be emperors, isn't it beautiful and happy? ”
I'll go......
Hu Kai frowned, he felt that when he was a tour guide before, he was good enough to fool, but he didn't expect to meet an ancestor who could fool today!
It's obviously house arrest, but it's said so high-sounding!?
"Don't hide it from all the distinguished guests," Niu Zongzheng still looked at each other, and said slowly, "My ancestors have left a legacy, but all the VIPs who come to our country must be invited into this palace, with fine clothes and food, and good entertainment!" Don't slack off, make you feel at home...... But...... But there is no mention in the testament that you want to let the VIP leave? ”
"This ...... Where's all this, right? At this time, someone was already in a circle, "What a fart is a VIP?" If you can't get out, isn't it the same as going to jail? ”
"That's right! How can there be such a hospitality? Isn't that making fun of us? ”
"Wait......" Han Feng was worried that the radical language would deepen the misunderstanding between the two sides, so he hurriedly stopped everyone and asked the Niu Sect Zhengdao, "No...... I want to ask you, if you don't let us out, do you keep trapping us in this room and waiting to die? We...... Never be able to go out until old age and death? ”
"No, no!" Niu Zong said solemnly, "Don't be impatient, the ancestors said in the testament that the VIPs who come to our country must stay in the palace of the monarch to entertain them." Later, it was also said that if there is a person who wants to stay in our country for development, he can write an application letter through the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as the application can be passed, you can leave the palace and stay in our country.
"However, if you want to pass the application, you first need to learn our language, culture, officials, etc., and once all the conditions are met, you have to be interviewed by Lord Xiangguo in person, and after passing the customs, you will finally pass!"
"What do you mean, is it difficult?" Han Feng pondered and asked, "Generally, how long will it take?" ”
"Well, it's hard to say, at least three or five years, and at most there is no upper limit!" Niu Zongzheng replied solemnly, "Anyway, in the history of our country for more than a thousand years, no one has passed the audit!" ”
"Wow! Isn't this playing with us openly? ”
In the excitement of the crowd, Niu Zongzheng still said in a good time: "Distinguished guests, are you confused? If you can be our king, why do you have to go through the trouble of passing the audit? The guests who have come here in the past are very happy! ”
"It's not!" Han Feng also seemed to be a little confused, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to ask?
"I said Lord Niu, the point is, most of us here are not qualified to elect the emperor?" Hu Kai took over the conversation and asked, "If we don't want to stay in Yingzhou Kingdom, can't we be let go?" Our ship is waiting on the pier! ”
"yes!" Han Feng also thought about it, and hurriedly echoed, "Is this okay?" Our ship will sail the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, you let us go back, and we are gone, and you will be left in a quiet place, right? ”
"This ......" Niu Zongzheng said very embarrassed, "Don't hide it from all the VIPs, most of the VIPs who have come to our Yingzhou Country in the past are people who are lost at sea and can't return home!" They stayed in our country to either become emperors, or they stayed in this palace to live for the rest of their lives, and there was never anyone who wanted to go home!
"And besides...... If you want to leave, it's not up to me, a petty official, to decide! This still needs to be made by our Lord Xiangguo! In this way, why don't you wait until Xiangguo comes back from his travels, and then you can discuss? ”
"That'...... Dare to ask when you Xiangguo will come back? ”
"Hmm...... Xiangguo has just started his journey to nearby countries, at least half a year, at most a year, and then he can come back! ”
Hearing this, Hu Kai and Han Feng glanced at each other, feeling that they had come full circle, and they were still doing a useless job.
"Your Excellency!" At this time, a bearded tourist under Han Feng said unceremoniously, "Then we ...... What if you insist on leaving? ”
"Alas, no, never!" Hearing this, Niu Zongzheng waved his hand again and again, "I advise you, don't do anything that violates the law and discipline of our country, in my Yingzhou country, VIP crimes are more serious than crimes committed by ordinary people, absolutely not, never allow!" ”
"Could it be...... Are you going to kill us all? The beard was obviously unconvinced.
"Well, this one!" Niu Zongzheng's face became a little ugly, as if he wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something.
Who knows, just when the two sides were at a stalemate, with a scream outside the hall, an unimaginable accident happened at the scene again!
