Chu Ze's tone was so commonplace, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very unhappy to hear it.

What does it mean to be "it's normal to be deceived"?

His dignified emperor, is it normal to be deceived?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt angry just thinking about it.

Zhu Biao also frowned.

Zhu Fan was much more direct, and turned his head and asked Chu Ze: "Is there a lot of this kind of thing?" ”

"Not too much."

Chu Ze laughed directly.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Chu Ze explained: "In the records of later generations, there are many cases of using Tibetan mastiffs to pretend to be lions, and there are even giraffes pretending to be unicorns. They just rely on the fact that no one has seen these things, so they talk nonsense about these foreign things, and no one will debunk them anyway. ”

"And I remember that an emperor returned the lion that had been paid tribute by the Gentiles because of this kind of thing."

And this emperor is from the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Ze didn't say the latter sentence, but everyone sitting there, except for Geng Bingwen, who couldn't turn his brain, didn't understand it too much, everyone else understood.

It was precisely because he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

He stood up suddenly, his face was full of anger, and the "lion" that seemed to be pleasing to the eye just now was now an eyesore.

Even Geng Bingwen didn't like it.

Although Geng Bingwen is straight and has no brains, he is very sensitive to Zhu Yuanzhang's unhappy gaze.

Although Chu Ze said that he was not entirely to blame for this, he couldn't wear this hat.

He knelt down with a "plop" and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, this is all Chu Ze's one-sided words, not credible." And when those foreigners sold it to me, they repeatedly assured me that this was a lion, and they would never be able to deceive me, let alone you, Your Emperor. ”

If he hadn't known Chu Ze's identity of the crossing, Zhu Yuanzhang would have really believed it just by listening to these words.

But now, Geng Bingwen's words, under Chu Ze's control group, are not so credible.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Geng Bingwen coldly.

He wasn't angry with Geng Bingwen, he was angry with those Gentiles.

These people are simply abominable!

Take something they haven't seen before and fool them.

If Chu Ze hadn't recognized these things, he would have put such a Tibetan mastiff in the palace as a lion, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to spread it?

Zhu Yuanzhang's self-esteem will never allow him to suffer such anger!

"You said that this is Chu Ze's one-sided words, then let's call those people in to confront each other." It can not only convince Geng Bingwen, but also verify whether what Chu Ze said is true or false.

He personally believed Chu Ze, but the evidence still had to be asked.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang trusts Chu Ze, he will not blindly believe it.

Chu Ze didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang wanting to confront him, and even kindly reminded: "If the emperor wants to confront, it's best to hurry, if these people run away, I won't be able to take off the hat on my head that maliciously slanders the Marquis of Changxing." ”

He is not afraid to wear hats, but he does not want to wear them for nothing.

Geng Bingwen immediately asked: "Your Majesty, the minister asks for an order to get people and promise to bring them to the emperor one by one." ”

"That's not going to work." Chu Ze refused without thinking about it.

He smiled playfully at Geng Bingwen's cannibalistic eyes, and said: "Changxinghou is the person who is the confrontation, commonly known as the plaintiff, you are going to take people, who knows if you will threaten people halfway and prevent them from telling the truth?" Wouldn't I have lost the upper hand? If you want to take people, please ask the emperor to send people again. ”

He's not a gentleman, and he doesn't mind using a little villain's heart.

Geng Bingwen almost died of anger.

"Lao Tzu is not as insidious as you think!"

Look, they're all swearing.

Then Chu Ze wouldn't let him go.

"Substitution." Chu Ze's expression was calm.

Compared with Geng Bingwen's anger, Chu Ze's calmness looks like oil "adding fuel to the fire".

"Come on, Chu Ze, don't be angry on purpose. Let's just send someone again. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Chu Ze helplessly, revealing two points of warning.

When Chu Ze saw it, not only was he not afraid, but he also smiled.

The people who were sent out soon returned, and all the circus people, not a single one, were detained.

The men knelt in the temple, trembling.

Zhu Biao naturally took over the heavy responsibility of interrogation.

The mouths of these people are just like those made of iron, no matter how Zhu Biao asks, they all bite to death and it is the lion who sent them out.

The head of the circus owner cried so much that it was called a miserable one.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, whom I respect, how dare we deceive you? This is the lion, which we brought in from outside the territory with great difficulty. I wanted to dedicate it to His Majesty the Emperor, but we were too humble to meet His Majesty the Emperor at all, so we gave it to this general. ”

The man spoke awkward Chinese and explained with difficulty.

Geng Bingwen's confidence rose instantly.

He was like a fierce fighter, raised his chin, and looked at Chu Ze proudly: "How is it, what else do you have to say?" ”

After taunting Chu Ze, he immediately went to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, did you hear it?" ”

"This is the lion. Chu Ze deliberately confused the public, saying that this was a Tibetan mastiff, obviously using the emperor's trust to talk nonsense, and his heart could be punished. ”

"Punish you."

Chu Ze circled around these people and listened to an ear of nonsense.

Turn around and this person still wants to kill himself?

Then don't blame him for speaking badly.

"It's really my own death, others can't save you, and I still explain it for you, but you want my life?"

"I'm kind to you."

After scolding people, Chu Ze raised his head and said to Zhu Biao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, these people are lying, just pull them out and cut them." ”

"No way!"

Before Zhu Biao could speak, Geng Bingwen was anxious: "Are you afraid that these people will demolish you, so you want to kill people?!" ”

"Shut up, you're gasping for no brains and no reflection."

Chu Ze didn't bother to explain to this person now, he looked at the foreigner kneeling in the rules, and said lightly: "Anyway, there are more than 30 of them here, let's kill them slowly, whoever doesn't tell the truth, we will kill them." With so many people, I can't believe that I can't meet a single person who tells the truth. ”

"Chu Ze, you have to be sure." Zhu Fan was stunned by Chu Ze's "atmospheric" statement.

If this is not sure, it will not only slander Geng Bingwen, but also the crime of killing foreign envoys.

Although these people are not serious, it is not easy to deal with the other country's investigation.

When the time comes, you have to hand over Chu Ze in order to calm the other party's anger.

He still likes Chu Ze a lot, but he doesn't want him to die.

Chu Ze gave him a reassuring look.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, kill it."

Since Chu Ze said so......

Zhu Biao's eyes sharpened: "Kill." ”

As soon as Zhu Biao's voice fell, a forbidden army immediately entered the hall, Chu Ze randomly pointed to a person, and the forbidden army immediately stepped forward to arrest people and escort them outside the hall.

The man's face turned pale with fright, and he kept crying out for help.

When this group of foreigners saw that Chu Ze was really moving, they hurriedly shouted: "We say, we say!" This is indeed a Tibetan mastiff, not a lion, His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have spared us! ”
