CHAPTER XXXIV

"Hey, don't you two register?" Mr. Bookkeeper finished writing the names of the previous gang, and then looked at Wen Renxing and Deng Zai, who were sitting on the bench.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Deng Zai hurriedly trotted to the side of the bookkeeper, nodded and said, "My brother is not very articulate, this fat difference!

"Okay, sign up. The bookkeeper glanced at Deng Zai and said.

Deng Zai scratched his head and said, "His name is Deng Zai, and he is my younger brother's name is Deng Xing!"

After the bookkeeper wrote down the names of the two of them, he put away the account book and left, and he didn't eat the same meal, and frowned as he walked out of the door, "Where did the swill smell from?!"

Deng Zai saw that the head of the account room left without looking back, shook his hand and said: "What's so great about this account man, look at that!"

"Guys, do you smell swill? It stinks!" said the boatman near the bookkeeper's position.

"Ah, no," replied the boatman sitting across from him.

This Deng Zai returned to his position from the position of the bookkeeper, and wherever Deng Zai went, these boatmen frowned, some picked up the rice and smelled it, and some put the meat on the side of their noses and sniffed it, and the slightly nausea boatmen spit it out directly.

"Ahh

"Why is this still throwing up?"

The boatman sitting opposite looked at the boatman here in bewilderment.

"It really smells of swill, and these people don't take us seriously, do they?"

"I was sitting near Mr. Ledger just now, and suddenly there was a strong smell..."

"Are you all right? We're all right here! I think you guys aren't happy with their wages!"

"Why don't you believe it?"

The meal was inedible, and the boatmen on both sides fought so hard that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and no one would let anyone.

"Hahahaha!" Wen Renxing couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

These boatmen were so noisy that they didn't care whether they laughed or not.

"What are you laughing at? Senior brother, this wine hasn't woken up yet? There is swill in your rice! You can still laugh? Maybe there will be swill in what you just eat!" Deng Zai became more and more excited the more he spoke, and he picked up the bowl of vegetables in front of him and smelled it.

"You're Swill!huh, Senior Brother Swill?" Wen Renxing smiled and pointed to Deng Zai in front of him.

Deng Zai was anxious when he heard what Renxing said, raised his arm and slammed the table and asked, "Senior brother, are you still joking?"

With this action of raising his hand, the smell of swill on Deng Zai's body swayed into the air, and a boatman next to him suddenly felt a violent smell enter his nose, he grabbed his throat and said: "I seem to have eaten swill! I have been poisoned by swill...!" This must be swill poison!"

So saying, the boatman fell out of his chair and crawled on the ground, shouting as he crawled, "This room is poisonous, I will climb out..."

Wen Renxing smiled even more happily when he saw this, holding his stomach with one hand and holding chopsticks with the other, and then said: "No, senior brother, my stomach hurts so much! Don't tease me! I warn you, senior brother! Hahahahaha!"

Deng Zai was like a monk who was at a loss, and when he got up, he looked at Wen Renxing with angry eyes: "Senior brother, did you put this swill poison?"

It's okay not to get up, suddenly together, the smell of swill on the body is like pervading farther away, a boatman on the opposite side originally just wanted to eat a good meal, didn't want to quarrel with this gang, eating, this sudden smell of swill along the taste of the food into the mouth and nose, as if eating a piece of, the boatman was instantly stunned, and said to himself: "What kind of taste is this?"

The boatman didn't believe it at first, he had the courage to try it and chewed the rice in his mouthful, the original uncertain taste of swill, now it was a final word, the boatman spit it out, slapping himself while spitting: "This must be a dream! Wake up! Wake up! How could I eat!"

At this moment, Wen Renxing was already lying on the ground, his stomach was already laughing straight up, Wen Renxing said secretly: "No... I can't die laughing in a place like this, I have to climb out... The exit is just around the corner... If there were a hundred steps, I would have only ninety-nine steps left if I had climbed one step now... I'm going to climb out...!"

Wen Renxing still didn't hold on, fainted with laughter, and stopped moving after climbing twice.

Deng Zai's originally angry face immediately became worried, and one flew over to hug Wen Renxing and shouted: "Who the hell is the villain! Poison my junior brother! Senior brother, wake up! Senior brother! Everyone! There is poison in the! No! It's in the rice!"

Just when everyone was in a mess, Wang Haoyue kicked the door open and said, "What's the noise! It's not delicious to eat!"

I saw everyone fall to the ground, vomit, faint and faint... Another person was kneeling on the ground and holding a person, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Then he crawled over and hugged Wang Haoyue's leg and said, "General... Help me..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.

"What is this?" Wang Haoyue said with a frown, brushing back the hair hanging on her cheeks, with an impatient look.

At this time, the shipwright ran over and hurriedly said, "Oh, General Wang!

Wang Haoyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Go aside, General Ben will handle this matter personally." Then he commanded to the right and left: "Bring all these men to the bow deck." ”

The bow deck is empty, and the area is quite large, and more than a dozen boatmen are on the deck, covering their stomachs and crying bitterly...

Seeing this, Peng Bu hurriedly beckoned someone to find the ship's doctor to come over, so a group of shipwrights and a group of soldiers stood on the bow of the ship in two rows, Wang Haoyue sat on a chair alone, and a row of soldiers stood in the back row, looked at the group of boatmen in front of him, looked at it a few times, and then pointed at Deng Zai and said: "You! Big man! Yes, it's you! Come over and describe the situation." ”

Deng Zai looked left and right to confirm it again and again, pointed to himself, and took a few steps forward.

"General, these people are not human beings when we are subordinates! Feed us swill!" Deng Zai said so much that he almost cried.

"Yes, yes!"

"You can't treat us as human beings!"

"I look at this carrying work, don't do it!"

A few boatmen below hurriedly chimed in.

Peng Bu squinted his eyes and observed the crowd, and when the doctor had finished checking the food, he asked the doctor, "Doctor, is there anything wrong with this food?"

"If you go back to your lordship, there's nothing unusual about this food... But... But the place where the meal is eaten does smell of swill...", the doctor said again and again.

Peng Bu waved his hand to signal the doctor to go down, and then turned to order the shipwright to be brought up.

Then the shipwright was put up by the two soldiers, and before Peng Bu could speak, the shipwright shouted: "My lord is wronged!

"I heard that you left without eating?" did you already know that something was wrong?" asked Peng Bu, motioning to the squire to slap the shipwright.

"Big... My lord... The next person is just an upset stomach... Again... Besides, the bookkeeper... Didn't you eat it too?" the boatman was beaten with his left and right palms, and he couldn't speak.

"Then don't invite the account office over!" Wang Haoyue glared at the left and right soldiers.

After a while, Mr. Bookkeeper was also set up, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "General Wang, Lord Peng spare your life! In the dark... I was registering well, and suddenly I smelled a swill... The next man is gone..."

Peng Bu saw that the two of them were insisting on their own words and were shirking their suspicions, so he instructed his subordinates: "Tie these two people's legs and feet to ropes, and throw them into the river to cool off!"

After hearing this, the left and right men brought ropes and stepped forward to tie their legs and feet.

"My lord, my lord! This is not right! There is an old man on the villain... There's a little down there," said the shipwright, frightened.

No matter how the two resisted, the soldier was so powerful that one soldier raised his two hands, grabbed one head in one hand, and pressed their heads to the deck, while the other soldier tied ropes to their legs and feet. After tying, the other end of the rope was fixed to the boat, and this end was tied to the legs and feet of the two men.

"Push it down. There was no trace of pity in Pengbu's words.

"Ahhhh

These two people were thrown into the river by the left and right soldiers, the two of them plunged into the tumbling river, a cool feeling swept over, the body sank into the water for several meters, the mouth kept pouring water, the nose did not dare to breathe, the two of them were discouraged, just when they gave up, the rope was pulled again, the two of them quickly pulled up, pulled out of the water, such a feeling of seeing the light of day, the two of them spit water in their mouths, their noses breathed the air hard, and the rope did not pull up, just like this two people were suspended in the air.

Peng Bu took a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the boat, looked down, and asked, "Can you two tell us what happened?"

The two people who were hanging upside down in the air wanted to speak, but the water kept coming out of their mouths, and there were still a lot of aquatic plants hanging on their bodies, so they had to nod vigorously, and said vaguely in their mouths: "Can... Yes..."

Peng Bu smiled, stroked his beard again, and motioned for his men to pull the two up.

The two of them were pulled up, and then they were thrown left and right in front of Wang Haoyue again, and the water in the mouths of the two of them, the deck that was originally dried by the sun, was wet again.

The bookkeeper relieved himself, then climbed to Wang Haoyue's leg and said, "Wang... General Wang: This has nothing to do with me... I promised the foreman a 10% deduction of wages... I got it... I'll do it... Fake accounts... Afterwards, fifty-fifty splits... But this swill incident, the villain really doesn't know! General Wang spares his life!"

"Hehe! A rat poop spoils a pot of porridge! In the future, others will say that General Wang gave his subordinates swill and deducted wages, who will do things for General Wang?" said Peng Bu bending down to the two.

"No... It wasn't the villain's doing! It was all done by this bookkeeper alone, and it has nothing to do with the villain! The villain... Villain... The little guy next to the villain can testify..."As soon as the foreman of the ship finished speaking, a little head and waist man squeezed out behind him.

The man looked at the foreman with disdain and said, "My lord! The villain can testify!

"I'm usually not thin with you!!Why do you turn your face so badly and don't recognize people?" the shipwright stared at the man with wide eyes.

"Okay, don't quarrel!" Peng Bu said, then turned his head and asked Wang Haoyue, "How should these three people be handled?"
