Chapter 373 Taste It for Yourself
Xi Yu then brought a few more secret guards over and asked them to quickly find Mao Dacheng.
Because if this matter is really related to Mao Dacheng, they will definitely show their flaws.
After the secret guard left, Xi Yu became emotional.
Although he can call the secret guard over. But for the bad guy's plan, he can't always let the secret guards keep an eye on him.
The most important thing is that even the secret guards can't keep an eye on the filthiness of people's hearts.
Next, Fang Hao started to do another thing and immediately found a few young eunuchs.
Then I started to pack a few documents.
More than a dozen documents came out.
He asked the young eunuch to rush to the military camp immediately, and then asked the soldiers to follow his orders and quickly spread the word to the major princes in the Central Plains.
Ask them to donate money and materials immediately.
Because a lot of people died here.
Therefore, Xi Yu wants to make compensation and deal with the aftermath, so that they can get some comfort.
After the soldiers obtained this document, they began to act non-stop.
Many princes in the Central Plains region were very unhappy when they saw this scene.
Especially Zhang Lu was very angry. Isn't this because Xi Yu wants to rob everyone?
Moreover, what Xi Yu wrote in the document was quite nice.
Fangjun and the Central Plains are in the same boat, and they are connected with each other. When one side is in trouble, all sides support it.
Huh, bullshit, it's quite high-sounding.
Since you are doing a good job, why do you need everyone to contribute money and supplies?
Although Xi Yu didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Lu also understood that if he didn't want to, he would probably be attacked by Xi Yu.
Moreover, other princes have to contribute money. If you don't contribute, there will be disaster.
That’s all, whether it’s food or money, you have to contribute.
Xi Yu knew that the princes would definitely help, so he sent people to post notices on the city wall.
Tell those who are unfortunate in your family to express your condolences to them first.
Afterwards, a certain amount of pension will be given to them based on the number of deaths in the family.
The secret guards came to Mao Dacheng's residence.
But he found that Mao Dacheng was studying calligraphy and was in a daze looking at a calligraphy work.
On that day, after he and Fang Zhongyuan dispersed, Mao Dacheng said to Fang Zhongyuan and others that they should not get together again in the past few days.
Even if you get together, it should be small and don't talk about any sensitive topics.
Because he had also heard about Xi Yu having secret guards.
I don’t know if any secret guards infiltrated during the discussion that day.
So in this case, Xi Yu will definitely doubt himself, so they must not let them grasp any excuses.
The secret guard squatted beside Mao Dacheng for a whole day, but did not find any clues.
So after dark, I could only come to Fangjun's palace and report to Xiyu.
"Okay, he is very cunning. Let's wait until the Bai Kingdom is destroyed."
On the next day, Hua Tuo claimed that after researching the medicine, he had already sprinkled it into the water of various wells.
Now there is no poison in the well water, but many people don't believe it at all, and they still dare not drink the well water.
Moreover, the well water in Huanglong Mountain will run out sooner or later.
Giving the people something to drink is just a measure of power, and it is impossible to supply them every day.
So Xi Yu decided to go see it in person.
Xi Yu asked Hua Tuo to lead him to a place called the Shouting Well.
This well is also very large, and it is said that it never runs dry.
Many people were holding water-carrying tools and were about to dry up the well.
Well water immediately emerged from the spring, and there is even a legend here.
It is said that many gods and goddesses lived here on Penglai Mountain back then.
It was because of their guidance that the people dug out well water.
Normally this place is crowded, but now it is deserted.
And a local Li Zheng also came here. He had a mustache and was very dark.
Li Zhengdao: "Master Xi, there are many people who see this well and they really can't face it anymore."
Xi Yu asked Li Zheng to quickly call some people over and test it himself.
Li Zheng was shocked. It was okay to call the people over, but if Xi Yu tasted the water himself, what if something happened?
Xi Yu clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Don't worry. First, I believe in Hua Tuo's medical skills. Second, I want to share the joys and sorrows with the people, so I must taste it myself."
Hua Tuo was very pleased. He felt that what Xi Yu said was really good.
Li Zheng then went to every house to call for people.
When they learned that Xi Yu was coming, some of the people still felt a little psychologically uncomfortable.
So I don't want to come out.
So after a while, less than ten people showed up.
Li Zheng said that he had tried his best.
Xi Yu said: "Okay, let's go with these people."
Anyway, all he did was let everyone know that the well water was non-toxic.
Anyway, it will eventually spread from one to ten.
Many people were shocked when they learned that Xi Yu was going to test the well water himself.
An old man said: "Drama Master, you should stop drinking. What if something happens here?"
Xi Yu expressed his point of view again.
Li Zheng said: "Player, let me try."
He said that since his wife and daughter died in an accident last year, he was the only one at home.
Even if he dies, it doesn't matter.
But Xi Yu didn't agree and asked someone to quickly draw water from the well in front of him.
You can't tell anything by just looking at the water in this well. Even if it is poisoned, it will be the same as when it is not poisoned.
Soon, the well water was pumped up and Xiyu drank it.
Many people were worried about him.
But Hua Tuo was very confident because his medicine was absolutely effective.
Moreover, the medicine he took not only detoxified the poison inside, but also ensured that the water quality would become better.
Xi Yu said that he had drank it now, and he would have to come here tomorrow. If he was still alive, it would prove that the poison in the water had been detoxified.
After that, Xi Yu returned to the palace, and the incident slowly spread.
Many people also believed in Xi Yu.
The next day, Xi Yu appeared next to the well water again.
At this time, more and more people came out to watch.
Some people began to boldly drink the well water and found that nothing happened.
Yes, the actor has already proved it. His status is so noble, why don’t we common people go and drink?
On the other side, those who attacked Bai Kingdom had already returned to the court, and they also brought over Chen Qiang, the leader of Bai Kingdom.
Xi Yu had already received the news.
Originally, I planned to hold the trial in the palace, but then I thought about it and decided to go to the city gate.
In the end, the soldiers pressed Chen Qiang at the city gate.
And at this moment, Chen Qiang was already in a prison car.
He was indignant. After all, he was also the leader of a country. Although his land was small, how could he allow himself to be insulted like this?
And more and more people are watching.
They heard that the Bai Kingdom was coming to invade, but they did not enter Fangjun's territory. Instead, they were beaten to the ground by the Black and White Cavalry at the border.
Soon, Xiyu arrived.
"Look, everyone, the actor is here."
Xi Yu came to Chen Qiang.
When he saw Xi Yu, Chen Qiang kept insulting him.
And Zhou Yu slapped him immediately.
"You bastard, you dare to insult the actor. What crime should you face?"
Chen Qiang said fiercely, although his land is small, he is still a king.
But what is Xiyu?
And Zhou Yu slapped him again.
Xi Yu said, "Okay, there's no need to hit him."
Xi Yu asked Zhou Yu to talk about the fighting process.
Zhou Yu led the black and white cavalry into the palace of Bai Kingdom.
At that time, Chen Qiang was holding a meeting with ministers.
Because many of the soldiers sent did not return in the end, they felt that something might have happened.
And the ones dispatched are all elites.
At this time, Bai Guo basically had no troops available.
At this moment, Zhou Yu rushed in directly.
Effortlessly, he started fighting against a handful of soldiers.
Chen Qiang was eventually captured.
The other ministers scattered like birds and beasts, and the soldiers didn't care. They were just small people.
Chen Dacheng did not expect that Xi Yu's soldiers entered the palace quietly and caught him.
At that time, he did not beg for mercy. He believed that he must die with dignity.
But he never expected that he would be placed in a prison car.
"Let me ask you, why did you attack Fangjun?" Xi Yu asked coldly.
Chen Qiang didn't speak at all. He thought Xi Yu was not qualified to ask him questions.
Zhou Yu slapped him again.
Chen Qiang felt seriously insulted, Xi Yu said, but a slap on his face was a light one.
I still have many ways to torture him, I hope he knows it well, and there are still so many people watching.
If he is willing to be insulted, let him do it.
But Chen Qiang is still very stubborn, so Xi Yu should just let Zhou Yu torture him severely.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
"Master Xi, that's great. When it comes to torturing people, I have many ways to do it."
After a stick of incense, Chen Qiang was finally tortured and begged for mercy.
He had become breathless, as if hanging for breath.
Xi Yu said: "Why do you have to be tortured before you beg for mercy? Now tell me the answer quickly."
Chen Qiang finally said that Mao Dacheng conspired with him in this matter.
Many people were very sad when they heard this incident. It turned out that it was related to Mao Dacheng.
Some people immediately started to curse.
"Mao Dacheng, this beast is worse than a beast. How could he do this? We were all his subjects in the past?"
"It seems that this poisoning incident is also related to him."
Many people expressed their opinions angrily, but Xi Yu did not interfere.
He knew that everyone had to vent.
After a while, Xi Yu asked everyone to be quiet.
"I think this well water problem is also related to him. However, there is no clear evidence now, but we will definitely investigate it."
An old man came to the actor and said, "Actress, you are too kind. You should have killed the beast Mao Dacheng in the first place, so that these things would not have happened later."
Xi Yu believed that it was indeed his kindness and not eradicating the roots that caused the people to suffer.
This time I will never let Mao Dacheng go.
He immediately asked Zhou Yu to take the soldiers to find Mao Dacheng.
This time, he will not be allowed to die directly, but will be tortured severely.
At this moment, Mao Dacheng was no longer calm at the county government office. He vaguely heard about the arrest of Chen Qiang.
Although Chen Qiang is more loyal, if Xi Yu tortures him, he will probably tell the truth.
When the time comes, Xi Yu will follow the clues to catch him. What should he do?
He was planning to run away now.
But before he could take action, suddenly, Zhou Yu came in with someone.
"Mao Dacheng, where are you running?"
Mao Dacheng pretended to be ignorant.
"This is General Zhou. I don't know what you are doing here. Why are you bringing so many soldiers with you? Could it be that I have committed some crime?"
"Mao Dacheng, what have you done? Don't you have any idea?"
Mao Dacheng just laughed and said that he really didn't know.
Zhou Yu then told Chen Qiang’s explanation.
Mao Dacheng thought, it really is like this.
But he shook his head and said that Chen Qiang was probably arranging himself.
He saw that he was about to die, so he asked General Zhou to believe in him.
"Whether I believe you or not, the actor will make his own judgment. All you have to do now is follow us quickly."
A soldier had already grabbed Mao Dacheng's arm.
Mao Dacheng regretted a little. Why didn't he escape last night?
There should have been a chance last night.
He should leave Fangjun.
Because he had a hope in his heart that after this well water incident, Xi Yu would be in a state of collapse, and he would have a chance to recover.
In the face of temptation, people's IQ is always easy to become low, and Mao Dacheng is like this.
Xi Yu said at the city gate that he would kill Chen Qiang this time and use his head to apologize to the dead.
Chen Qiangqiang howled again.
He claimed that he was not the one who poisoned the well water. Why did he do this?
Moreover, he had already confessed the conspiracy between Mao Dacheng and himself, so he should be put back.
"Let you go back, you are simply too naive."
"Xi Yu, how can you do this? I have already confessed everything you asked me to do. You are betraying your trust."
Xi Yu laughed loudly and said: "People present, when did I say that as long as he explains everything, I can let him go?"
The people quickly testified that Xi Yu had never said such a thing.
The veins on Chen Qiang's forehead bloomed.
"Xi Yu, you are simply kidding me."
Xiyu sneered.
"But let you live a little longer. After Mao Dacheng comes, you two will still bite each other. It won't be too late to kill you then."
Chen Qiang became a little scared later. After all, he had never experienced any big storms, because Bai Guo seemed to be an inconspicuous existence.
Generally, they can't attract other people's attention because they don't have many resources there.
He has lived in the palace since he was a child, leading a life of fine clothing and fine food.
So when he thought about death, he shivered a little and peed his pants directly.
Soon a soldier discovered this scene and laughed.
"It really makes me feel ridiculous that the majestic king of the country has reached this stage."
Xi Yu sighed. Just now, this guy said that he was just a prince, and he was the emperor, so he was not worthy of talking to him.
But doesn’t he know better?
If you want to be an emperor, the emperor of Fang County will already be yours.
So this person just used those words to comfort himself.
Suddenly, the sky turned gloomy.
Seeing that it was going to rain, Xi Yu ordered the people to go back temporarily, and the soldiers also retreated.
As for Chen Qiang, he is about to get wet in the rain.
Sure enough, the rain came after a while.
The people also hurried back to their homes, and the soldiers took their positions. Xi Yu came to the room inside the city gate to rest.
Chen Qiang, who was sitting in the prison car, suddenly became alone.
The heavy rain immediately poured down on his neck.
He shouted loudly: "Master Xiu, I was wrong. Please let me go. I can be a cow or a horse. Just don't kill me, okay?"
He knew that being tough was useless.
Now he could only beg for mercy, but he didn't understand that begging for mercy was useless.
Lightning and thunder were constantly intertwined.
Xi Yu was in the room inside the tower, looking outside.
This heavy rain seems to be mourning for the unfortunate human beings who have died.
He remembered what the old man said to him again, why didn't Mao Dacheng be killed earlier?
But now there is no turning back.
Zhou Yu and others also encountered heavy rain on the road, so they quickly found a place to take shelter.
Fortunately, we finally found a ruined temple.
As for Mao Dacheng, he was tied with ropes all over.
Zhou Yu also wanted to make him suffer deliberately, so he put him in the yard.
Mao Dacheng also shouted: "Let me in quickly."
But no one paid attention to his shouts.
A soldier said to Zhou Yu: "Drama Master, did you tell us that we must take him back alive? If that is the case, there is no need for us to torture him like this."
"Oh, so what about torture"?
"What if he commits suicide outside by talking nonsense?"
So according to the soldier's wishes, let him in and watch him.
Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. You have to understand that sometimes suicide is also a kind of courage."
And Zhou Yu learned that Mao Dacheng should also be very greedy for life and afraid of death.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhou Yu felt a little bored, so he told the soldiers that it would be better for everyone to think of a story and share it with everyone.
Many soldiers immediately agreed to this idea.
They were so immersed in the joy of telling stories that no one paid attention to the outside world.
Mao Dacheng was shivering in pain in the rain, and at this time, a man in black appeared and entered the yard with an umbrella.
He quickly picked up Mao Dacheng and ran outside as fast as he could.
Mao Dacheng immediately asked: "Who are you?"
"Don't talk yet, let's go out first and then talk."
Their voices were very low, and the rain was extremely heavy, so Zhou Yu and others in the ruined temple did not hear them at all.
