Chapter 11: Treacherous! It was so treacherous.
"When the bailiff asked him why he had the heart to kill his wife, he only said that his wife disturbed him from reading!"
All the adults present took a breath of cold air when they heard it. It was really outrageous that he personally chopped off his wife's head just for disturbing his reading!
"Ten days ago, the son of Mr. Jia, a merchant in Beijing, who had never done his job, was reading all day. Mr. Jia was very happy, thinking that his son, who had never done his job, was finally willing to study hard. But he didn't expect that one night, his son broke into his father's house with a sword, killed his father and his newly married concubine, and then hanged himself.
Half a month ago, Zhang, a butcher in the west of the city, brutally slaughtered twelve people from a neighbor's family in one night; A month ago, a doctor from Shan'en Hall stabbed people in broad daylight with a knife on the street, killing three and injuring twelve.
In addition to the above incident, there are many other incidents of this kind. The only common point is that the book "Night Talk Scholar" was found at the scene. "
After hearing what Jiang Jiang said, the adults present looked at the book "Night Talk Scholar" in their hands and felt a chill in their hearts. They were so scared that they quickly threw the book aside.
Lord Jiang: "This is too mysterious. Could it be that the book is really unclean?"
Lord Song: "I don't know whether this book is mysterious or not, but after listening to what General Jiang said just now, I do feel that something is strange recently. Since I read this book "Night Talk with Scholars", I have been unable to sleep or eat. Only after reading this book, I feel that I am in better spirits."
Lord Li: "Me too. After hearing what General Jiang said, I vaguely remembered that when I was reading this book last night, my wife was just urging me to go to bed early. At that time, I suddenly had an evil thought, thinking that if she died, no one would dare to urge me like this. At that time, I was also scared by this sudden thought!"
The adults present were talking, and at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a snap, and Shangshu Zhang, who was sitting above, slammed the table hard.
"It's simply nonsense. Are you all stupid? It's just a book, how can it be so mysterious as you say? It's obviously the people who have evil intentions, why blame the book! Do you know that the author of "Night Talks with Scholars", Ye Xingzi, has wasted a lot of effort to write this unprecedented and unparalleled book. In my opinion, maybe some people saw that this book is very popular in the capital, and some people are angry and deliberately threw dirty water at him."
Jiang Wenfeng: "I don't know how this book is written. I only know that people who have read this book have been influenced by it one after another. It's really strange..."
"General Jiang, you are not jealous of Ye Xingzi's talent, so you are deliberately finding fault!" Before Jiang Wenfeng finished speaking, Minister Zhang interrupted him and argued with him with red eyes.
Seeing the look on Zhang Shangshu's face, Jiang Wenfeng couldn't help but think of those people who were persecuted by books. They were also in prison with red eyes and bloodshot eyes. It seemed that Zhang Shangshu had also suffered a lot.
The next second, Jiang Wenfeng set his sights on "Night Talk with Scholars" on the table beside him. He simply picked up the book and tore it to pieces in front of Zhang Shangshu.
As the scraps of paper scattered, he saw Zhang Shangshu's eyes turned red in an instant.
Zhang Shangshu looked at his favorite book being torn to pieces with disdainful eyes, and angrily cursed: "You damn arrogant child!"
In a rage, he suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of the guard beside him and strode towards Jiang Wenfeng.
The other officials present had never seen such a scene before, and they all advised: "Master Shangshu, please calm down!"
"This sword has no eyes..." As soon as Master Li finished speaking, he saw Master Zhang suddenly turned his head and slammed the sword in his hand on the table in front of him. Master Li was so scared that his face turned pale and he crawled to the side.
Seeing that Master Li was scared away by him, Master Zhang turned around and walked towards General Jiang. When he was about to chop off this guy's head to teach him a lesson, a familiar tall figure suddenly entered his sight not far away.
At the same time, a voice like a hellish devil reached his ears: "Zhang Zhengtang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Shangshu was frightened and shuddered. When he reacted, he looked at the sword in his hand, then looked at the gloomy tyrant not far away, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty?"
Zhang Shangshu suddenly felt that his hand was a little heavy. He looked down and saw that he was holding a shining sword in his hand. He was frightened and shuddered, and quickly threw the sword aside.
"What...what happened to me?" Zhang Shangshu looked up at the people present with a confused look.
*
Five days later, all the clues of "Night Talk Scholar" had been found.
It turned out that the real problem was not "Night Talk Scholar", but the paper used to print "Night Talk Scholar".
In the court.
"This Nanman really wants to destroy Dongming. He even thought of adding the colorless and tasteless substance of the Soul-Bewitching Grass to the paper, so that people will be confused while reading. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous!" "
This Nanman pretends to have good relations with Dongming, but I didn't expect him to do such a dirty thing behind our backs!" "
Your Majesty, according to what I said, you should order a ban on all trade between Nanyuan and our country."
"Yes, Your Majesty, today the Nanman dared to use such a crude method, and who knows what despicable method they will use next time. In my opinion, now that our country's military is strong, we should lead the troops to defeat the Nanman in one fell swoop."
Listening to the ministers talking below, the great tyrant said with a gloomy face: "Enough! A bunch of idiots, who only know how to fight and kill all day long. If you lead troops to attack Nanyuan, do you think those idiots in Xichu will just watch stupidly? What's more, do you really think that the matter of the soul-loving grass was done by Nanyuan?"
Compared with Nanyuan, the people of Xichu are even more cunning.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the matter of the soul-bewitching grass was done by Western Chu in order to put the blame on Nanyuan?"
"If we fall into the trap and lead our troops to attack Nanyuan, both sides will suffer losses when the two armies fight, and the fisherman will benefit from the conflict."
Hiss~
Treacherous! It was really too treacherous!
They almost fell into the trap, but fortunately, Your Majesty was wise and powerful.
In fact, it was not that the great tyrant was wise and powerful, but because he had a dream last night that after finding out that the soul-bewitching grass was done by Nanyuan, he was furious and sent people to lead troops to attack Nanyuan. As a result, Western Chu took advantage of the war between the two countries and led troops to suddenly attack Dongming.
As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four hands. Later, Dong Ming was defeated. Then the heads of the whole family were hung on the wall. He was awakened by the shock!
