Chapter 364 Has my eloquence deteriorated?
Dali Temple Prison.
Wei Shuyu casually sat cross-legged on the straw.
Before him was a dilapidated table with a wine pot and a wine cup on it.
today.
The reason he didn't stay in Hu County was to interrogate Chen Shuozhen...
"Aren't you going to tell me yet?"
Wei Shuyu sighed: "If you tell me, I can petition His Majesty to spare your life!"
"I really don't know."
Chen Shuozhen honestly shook her head: "You guessed it, I'm just a lowly commoner."
"Who has the right to meet the person behind the scenes?"
Wei Shuyu shook his head.
He didn't believe Chen Shuozhen wouldn't have a backup plan.
No, you know!
Wei Shuyu stepped forward: "As a smart man, you definitely have a backup plan!"
Why?
Chen Shuozhen asked jokingly.
"intuition!"
Wei Shuyu thought for a moment and replied.
Chen Shuozhen was helpless.
You spent the whole day arguing with me just because of a gut feeling?
"Let's not talk about this..."
Chen Shuozhen took out the pair of love knots from her waist: "Could you do me a favor and give this to the King of Shu?"
Even on the verge of death, he's still so devoted?
"Chen Shuozhen..."
Wei Shuyu sternly rebuked him, "If you don't give me an answer before nightfall, you'll have no choice but to drink this cup of poison."
Logically, Chen Shuo should have been executed in public.
However, because she had an affair with Li Ke.
Even after being arrested and imprisoned, they were not searched.
Finally, Li Shimin gave him poisoned wine.
You don't understand.
Chen Shuozhen lowered her head, as if reminiscing: "I just hope he can remember me."
"If he doesn't want to..."
"Please give this to Wu Qiqi."
Damn it.
I'm asking you who's behind it all.
You can bring up the King of Shu with me, but what does that have to do with Wu Qiqi?
"Do you think Qiqi will want your things?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"I just don't want her to end up like me."
Chen Shuozhen raised her head and looked at Wei Shuyu with a cold gaze: "I can tell that she likes you very much!"
"but……"
"You don't have that kind of romantic love for her."
"..."
Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes.
Nobody likes reading romance novels, are you forcing me to?
good.
Today I'm going to defy the heavens for once!
"What if I don't agree?" Wei Shuyu asked in return.
"Then there's nothing I can do."
Chen Shuozhen took back the love knot.
"OK."
Wei Shuyu nodded: "I promise you!"
"Thanks."
A bright smile bloomed on Chen Shuozhen's face.
Then she started taking off her clothes...
Holy crap.
Wei Shuyu was startled.
Even if I agree to help you, you don't have to offer yourself in return.
Why are you taking off your clothes?
Wei Shuyu blurted it out.
"This outfit, made of pearls, agate, silk, and satin, is too expensive."
"Because of it..."
"I gave everything, including my life."
"Before I die, I want to change back into the clothes I used to wear that I abandoned..."
"Wei Shuyu, can you help me?"
Chen Shuozhen's face showed a pleading expression.
That expression really baffled him...
You won't even ask me to deliver a message to your lover, but you beg me to change your clothes?
"Alright."
After thinking it over, Wei Shuyu decided to agree.
Half an hour later.
Chen Shuozhen had already changed into that dirty, patched set of clothes.
Despite her humble appearance, the smile on her face was much brighter than before.
Chen Shuozhen slowly raised her wine glass...
"It was harvest season, and I was harvesting in the fields."
"Just as I was about to return to the village, I was robbed by bandits!"
"The grain is gone."
"The bandits also coveted my looks and wanted to kidnap me back to their stronghold."
"Just then..."
"A man in white riding a white steed galloped in, and he wiped out all the bandits as if he were a god descending to earth!"
"Even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman."
"But don't beautiful women also love heroes?"
She placed her wine glass next to the light-colored wine, tilted her head to look at Wei Shuyu: "Do you think I'm a beauty?"
Well……
That's a very profound question.
Just like how Xiao Ai always says she's handsome.
The answer is, against my will.
If you answer no, you'll be sad.
“Qiqi said you’re not as pretty as her,” Wei Shuyu replied, mimicking Wu Qiqi’s tone.
"Ha ha……"
Chen Shuozhen laughed loudly: "I never expected... In the end, I still lost to Wu Qiqi."
Suddenly...
Chen Shuozhen's smile vanished, replaced by an unusually cold expression.
"Wei Shuyu!"
"You must deliver the Love Knot to the King of Shu; it concerns the life and death of your Wei family!"
What about life and death?
Wei Shuyu turned his head to look.
Chen Shuozhen had already finished her drink in one gulp.
Holy crap!
Wei Shuyu was startled and quickly stepped forward to pat the other person's cheek: "Can you not just say half of what you mean?"
Heh...heh...
Blood kept spilling from the corner of Chen Shuozhen's mouth, but she wore a relieved smile on her face.
really……
I am not the chosen one, but an ant that can be crushed at will.
As her pupils gradually dilated, she completely stopped breathing.
"..."
Wei Shuyu is a idiot.
If you're going to die, then die. Why leave any suspense?
Isn't this just annoying?
"Cremate her body."
Wei Shuyu gave the order.
Those who die from drinking poisoned alcohol will pollute the environment.
"Dr. Wei, some bones cannot be burned out."
The jailer replied earnestly, "And cremating waste wood is also a good thing!"
Um?
They dare to try and extort me?
Wei Shuyu's eyes widened.
"Am I telling the truth?"
The jailer said aggrievedly, "Don't be fooled by the fact that many people are carrying jars and claiming they contain so-and-so's ashes."
"I'll tell you a secret..."
"That's not called ash!"
"It's either filled with bones, or crushed bones!"
"It's called ashes simply because there's no better word to describe it..."
"..."
You're quite the clever one.
You think I don't know this little-known fact?
"So... Doctor Wei."
The jailer hesitated before saying, "Let's cremate him..."
"First, I need to buy firewood; second, I need to buy jars; third, I need to find a butcher to chop the bones; fourth, I need to add an extra 'bad luck fee'; fifth..."
As expected, there are many hidden masters among ordinary people.
Your eloquence surpasses that of most officials in the imperial court.
"Alright!"
Wei Shuyu waved his hand: "Chop him up and feed him to the dogs."
"Dr. Wei."
"She died of poisoning; you're murdering a dog."
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.
"Either feed it to the dog, or feed it to you!"
The jailer realized what was happening.
This isn't a little kid; this is Doctor Wei.
"Understood."
Just then, Li Junxian rushed in...
"Wei Shuyu, hurry, come with me to the palace."
Li Junxian pulled Wei Shuyu away quickly.
"General Li has come at just the right time."
Wei Shuyu asked, "May I ask a question..."
“Fang Yi’ai has gotten himself into big trouble,” Li Junxian interrupted.
"That's not what I was asking about."
Wei Shuyu waved his hand.
Isn't it normal for these two to get into trouble?
What's the big deal?
"What I want to ask is, is there any way to crush bones into powder?"
"Has someone in your family died?"
Someone in your family died!
Wei Shuyu launched into a tirade of curses.
Is it that my eloquence has deteriorated, or that they have improved?
How come everyone here is so eloquent?
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, Wei Shuyu respectfully bowed.
"Shuyu, your subordinate Fang Yi'ai has beaten the crown prince of Baekje."
Li Shimin cut to the chase: "As the head of the Ministry of Commerce, you need to give the Crown Prince of Baekje an explanation."
After saying this, Li Shimin picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
Xiao Wei is here, always ready to argue.
No worries.
In any case, Li Shimin did not believe that Wei Shuyu watched Fang Yi'ai being executed.
"You are Wei Shuyu?"
Fuyu Yici gave Wei Shuyu a cold look.
"Shut up!"
Wei Shuyu suddenly shouted.
"In my Great Tang Dynasty, you must abide by the rules of the Great Tang!"
"If an official of our Great Tang Dynasty says you have committed a crime, then you have committed a crime!"
Who do you think you are?
"You dare threaten the Prime Minister of the Great Tang Dynasty?"
"Little Ai'ai, get the knife!"
"Today I'll see if this Korean trash dares to curse in front of me!"
"If he dares to utter a single arrogant word, I'll chop him up!"
Buyeo Uija was also frightened.
He never imagined that Wei Shuyu would be so fierce.
"You...you want to start a war with Baekje?" Buyeo Uija threatened.
"War?"
Wei Shuyu suddenly took a step forward.
In the imperial court, every step is fraught with danger; when facing foreign tribes, one must be firm in one's attitude!
Friendliness cannot buy sincerity!
"Why don't you try opening one yourself?"
Wei Shuyu's aura reached its peak.
He stepped forward and said, “Let me tell you, before you become the king of Baekje, never say such things in the Tang Dynasty.”
"Because you don't deserve it!"
"If you insist on using this excuse to make a scene in my Great Tang Dynasty..."
"So……"
"The Tang Dynasty wouldn't mind letting Baekje replace its crown prince!"
Holy crap!
Fang Xuanling opened his mouth wide, as if he could swallow an egg.
What does "spray" mean...?
That's more like it!
What kind of nonsense was I talking about before?
