322. He is like a dog

I don't know how the news spread so quickly, from the city gate to the mansion used for reception, the merchant envoy drilled the dog hole and everyone knew about it.

The king never pays attention to gossip and rumors, and there will be no Baixin who will be arrested for mocking officials, even if it is a new law that is criticized and criticized, they will talk about it casually, even if they scold the king, it is not a thing, not to mention that this is not a song at the feet of the emperor, but a place thousands of miles away.

The people did not have the slightest psychological burden at all, and laughed at Zhang Youren and his entourage.

The entourage's faces were pale, and their mood fell to the freezing point.

I thought that as a big merchant envoy to the vassal states, how could I have the treatment of a superior, not to mention the good wine, good meat, beautiful women, and treasures, but also to show off his might and indulge in the power of the big business.

I never thought that as soon as I entered the city, I was forced to drill a dog hole and became a laughing stock, and the mastermind did nothing.

When they arrived at the mansion, the entourage finally couldn't sit still.

"Lord Zhang, we represent big businessmen, we are humiliated and small, how can we save the face of big businessmen?"

"We are the envoys of the Great Shang, and if they humiliate us, they are humiliating Your Majesty!"

"If this matter is transmitted back to Chaoge, I am afraid that I will be punished!"

"The national teacher is the envoy, Pingling rebellion, show my great business majesty, but let's ....."

The attendants were chirping like sparrows outside the window.

Zhang Youren didn't say a word, but he didn't hear it.

Of course he was angry, the dirt on his hands hadn't been wiped clean yet, and the unpleasant fishy smell seemed to be still on the tip of his nose, but what could he do?

A few of his own people, alone in Yuedi, even if there is a big merchant behind him, now the relationship between the big merchant and the princes, the entourage does not know, but he knows it clearly.

The princes sent the rebellion to the fore.

In this case, how can he straighten his back?

What's more, the king said that he would not speak.

Maybe there's a way to crack this, but until then, just keep your mouth shut and just endure it.

It's what he does best.

Since entering the palace, King Yue has not summoned Zhang Youren and his party.

But in the middle of the meal, there was a problem.

The first day was fine, good wine and good food.

The next day there was no alcohol, endure.

On the third day, there were insects in the dish, and I forbear.

On the fourth day, the vegetables were rancid, endure.

Day 5... Day 6.....

Forbearance, forbearance, forbearance.

Half a month has passed, and Zhang Youren has hardly drunk clear water once.

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I can smell a smell of urine at the door.

If they wanted to go out of the house to find out the news, the children who didn't know where they came from would throw mud on their bodies, make grimaces, laugh and sing humiliating songs.

"Friends show their heads, drill dog holes, two people, no life. ”

Most of the children don't know the meaning of this ballad, they just think it's fun and sing about it.

The entourage is not highly educated, and at most they can only hear the irony of drilling a dog hole.

Zhang Youren saw danger from it.

"You" and "Duoren" are obviously referring to his name "Youren", and drilling the dog hole is naturally a satire of his embarrassing appearance of drilling the dog hole when he entered the city, drilling halfway, with his head in one section and his body at the other end.

But there is a deeper meaning, the outcrop is "friend", so what about not showing the head?

"Anti", anti-thief's anti.

The two of them are dismantling the "benevolence", and they are also referring to the envoy who is the main envoy and the entourage is secondary.

It means that he wants to be a thief when he crosses the king, and the envoy can't live.

However, even if Zhang Youren understood the nursery rhyme, he did not run away.

He is an envoy, how can there be a reason to leave without even seeing the face of King Yue?

The situation is getting worse and worse, and he is not living a human life, and when he comes, he drills a dog hole, and he is really treated like a dog.

One of his attendants was sick and had no one to heal him.

The sign on the medical hall clearly reads: "Merchant envoys and dogs are not allowed to enter." ”

Zhang Youren could bear it, but the entourage couldn't bear it, he was covered in rotten sores and wailed every night.

After a while, King Yue summoned him.

Zhang Youren was slightly relieved, at least he saw King Yue and completed the first goal of the envoy.

King Yue was an old fat man, sitting on the throne, and reprimanded: "Why didn't the merchant envoy kneel when he saw this king?"

Endure.

Zhang Youren knelt down.

"Why is the merchant envoy so sloppy and disrespectful to this king when he meets this king?"

Zhang Youren's hair was messy, his clothes were shabby, and there was a particularly bad smell on his body, which was not much worse than the gangsters of that day.

Seeing King Yue today, he also wants to freshen up, but he even has to buckle the rope to drink water on weekdays, where does the water come from to freshen up?

Bear with me....

Zhang Youren thought about it, spit out a mouthful of saliva on his hand, wiped it on his face, and barely brushed his hair away from his face.

The courtiers in the hall burst into laughter.

One of them arched his hand and asked, "Is this an envoy from Chaoge?"

"Isn't it someone who is going to fill the numbers?"

"The beggars on the side of the road are nothing more than that!"

"Even the dog hole can be drilled, it must not be a business envoy, it is a business dog!"

"Hahahaha!"

King Yue patted the case and said loudly: "If the merchant envoy does not respect this king, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and he will be beaten by Lone!"

A few months ago in Chaoge, King Yue was also beaten by the king of the court, and he recuperated for a month, but there were countless beautiful women but he couldn't use his favorite posture, does anyone know how he spent that month?!

If you can't fight back, you have to find face in the merchant envoy.

"Dog, I'm going to beat you!"

After successfully humiliating the mission, the city gate guard was promoted, and the official was promoted to the general of the town hall, and everyone respected him as a "general".

At that time, he was still apprehensive in his heart, thinking that Zhang Youren's city was very deep, who had ever forbears this goods, and in the constant humiliation, he blindly swallowed his anger and didn't dare to let go of his fart.

This made the king of Yue and the officials of Yue extremely relieved, the pig and dog would snort twice when they were humiliated by this, but the merchant envoy did not say a word, which made people suspect that he was a mute.

The king sent a special angry one!

The king and the princes are completely on the opposite side, he, the king of Yue, has a lot of power, and it is worth winning over, for the sake of the big business community, he naturally has to bend down!

The guard took the stick, grinned, and struck hard.

He has no sense of proportion, and it is not in the way to break it, Zhang Youren endured the forbearance when he drilled the dog hole, and he was so shocked that he didn't sleep well for two nights, this revenge must be avenged!

One stick after another, the courtiers had already prepared, and today it was not a peace negotiation between the king of Yue and the merchant envoys, but a rush to humiliation.

Yue Di is actually divided into two parts, one part is occupied by the Yue King, and the other part is the territory of the dead Yue Hou, the Yue Hou is bigger and more prosperous, and the Yue Hou is dead, and he, the Yue King, has already sent troops to fight for the territory of the Yue Hou, making himself a veritable "Yue King".

In everyone's opinion, the result has long been doomed, Yuehou is dead, Yuehou's heir is also dead, that piece of land is completely in the bag, and the Yue King will accept it on his behalf, and they will be no weaker than the princes of the Quartet in the future!

Zhang Youren was beaten silently, he was not afraid of pain, the pain from his body made him sweat profusely.

But he could bear it.

It hurt so much that I felt like my bones were going to break, but I endured it.

After the forty boards were played, Zhang Youren was still silent and endured to the extreme.

"King Lone wants to see how long he can endure it, continue to fight, and beat Lone hard!"

"Yes!" the guard became excited, and swung his stick again.

After a few sticks, Zhang Youren snorted, grinning in pain, but fortunately, he was beaten for a while just now, and he already had experience, and he gradually slowed down his breathing in the pain, and he could slowly relieve the pain.

Unconsciously, the Xuanniao jade pendant and the edict of the king fell out between the inner lining.

The guard hesitated for a moment, then stopped the stick.

King Yue also saw this scene and said, "Present it to this king." ”

But Zhang Youren was like crazy, and with all his strength he supported the ground with his elbows, crawled to the side of the Xuanniao jade pendant, and held the jade pendant with his mouth.

King Yue covered his eyes with a sleeve robe, forget it, the Xuanniao jade pendant represents the king of Xuan, and it doesn't mean anything to himself, Zhang Youren wants to protect it like this, just protect it, a jade pendant is just a song, and it is no different from a stone in Yuedi.

"Present the edict to the king. ”

The guard general presented the edict, and the king of Yue opened it, and without reading a few words, he was furious.

I thought that the edict was full of good words, but I never thought that it was a bad word, and even insulted him as a scourge in the world.

Grass, the king of the Xuan Dynasty has lost his mind and gone crazy?

King Yue's face turned blue and white for a while, looked at the table in front of him, and slapped it suddenly.

His face was even more ugly, watching the king easily smash the table, he was particularly imposing, and he wanted to show his anger in anger, and by the way, he deterred the courtiers, but he never thought about it....

The table was not broken.

King Yue glared at Zhang Youren, who was biting the Xuanniao jade pendant, there was no point in continuing to fight, it was better to wait for the expansion of the land and strengthen the strength, change the King of Yue on the edict to the King of Xuan, and then let Zhang Youren bring back the song as it was.

He didn't think about killing envoys, killing envoys was a barbarian's business, and it was enough to humiliate them.

"Drag it down, lock it up!"

At this time, some people still mocked: "He looks like a dog!"
