Volume 4 is in the ascendant Chapter 385: This person is very strong
"How ridiculous ! This person was discovered when he was threatening the family members of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry... and they want to take him back?" Bai Tu became even more annoyed after reading the report carefully.
They themselves have hinted that they do not want to hold them accountable, so they still want to take the criminal back as well?
"Your Majesty, are you hesitating about how to deal with Wu Xiong?" Zhang Chunhua asked proactively.
Wu Shuo did not lie about this. He should indeed be his nephew from the same clan. The name he revealed during interrogation was Wu Xiong - he gave the name so easily, it seems that he is also very confident in the "imperial court".
"There's no hesitation. If you don't want to leave, just stay. Will they lose money for meals?" Bai Tu said angrily.
It’s impossible to let him go. As for Wu Shuo… he can leave or not!
Seeing Bai Tu's dissatisfaction, Zhang Chunhua thought this was an opportunity, so he suggested: "If the king is worried that doing something directly to Wu Xiong will bring him bad reputation, I have an idea."
"Oh? If there is no major conflict now, you still don't want to cause any unpleasantness with the Han Dynasty... at least among the people, you don't want any bad rumors." Bai Tu specifically reminded.
He did not doubt Zhang Chunhua's "cruelness", but was worried that she was too "cruel".
Bai Tu is no longer opposed to slapping the Han Dynasty in the face, but he does not want the people to think that the Chu State has slapped the Han Dynasty in the face.
"I understand. This plan is to make them suffer a loss..."
Zhang Chunhua stepped forward and whispered some advice to Bai Tu.
After Bai Tu heard this, his eyes lit up. After feeling Bai Tu's gaze, Zhang Chunhua asked with a guilty conscience: "My king, this plan..."
"Okay, let's arrange it as you said." Bai Tu said with a smile.
Zhang Chunhua finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she had suppressed 50% of her viciousness, but the method she came up with still made Bai Tu feel vicious, which affected her future path of advancement...
Bai Tu was fine with it, on the contrary he felt that Zhang Chunhua's plan was very "comfortable". However, Zhou Tai, who was guarding behind him, although he looked like an iron tower with an iron face, glanced at Zhang Chunhua with a sad look at this moment, and then quickly looked away.
Women are so scary... Zhou Tai now only hopes that the queen will finish her wedding leave soon.
But thinking about this, Zhou Tai looked at the king with some sympathy...
The strategy was proposed by Zhang Chunhua, and Bai Tu did not bother the second master, but directly let her give the orders - after all, Zhang Chunhua was also very familiar with the people who were going to carry out the orders!
Soon, Zhang Chunhua took the imperial edict of Bai Tu and went to her uncle Zhang Yang to explain the situation. Then she went to the Ministry of Justice and brought up Wu Xiong.
At first Wu Xiong thought that it was his uncle who pleaded for him and that the State of Chu was going to release him. However... as soon as he got out of the cell, he was kicked into a prison van and locked with an iron mask to restrict his opening!
…
After lunch, when Wu Shuo was still anxiously waiting in the inn, a commotion was heard...
"Go and check what's going on outside?" Wu Shuo immediately urged his men.
Immediately, a subordinate came back and said in a panic, "Master Wu, outside...someone is parading in the streets! Oh, no...in Chu, it's called...calling on the masses to identify."
How could Bai Tu, such a civilized person, easily allow someone to be paraded through the streets?
It is not to humiliate the criminal, but just to let the victims and those who know the situation identify the criminal!
"Identify? What to identify?" Wu Shuo asked with a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"Identify... the accomplices of the assassin who assassinated the Minister of Works last night with the intention of overthrowing the State of Chu." The guard said anxiously.
The guard didn't recognize Wu Xiong, but... the "identification" team came all the way to the post station!
Upon hearing this, Wu Shuo also hurried out into the street.
Zhang Yang personally led a group of soldiers to parade the prison van through the streets, announcing along the way the prisoner's crimes of trespassing into the Ministry of Works and attempting to overthrow the State of Chu, and asked the people if they had any clues about his accomplices!
The people of Jinling were used to not being afraid of officials. After hearing about this man's crime, many of them followed the prison van, cursing and throwing eggs...
Although I didn't quite understand what he said, it was clear that they were here to destroy their beautiful lives and harm His Royal Highness the King of Chu!
In order to build momentum, Zhang Yang walked around Jinling City several times. After not only the people in the city, but also Wu Shuo and other messengers who were still in the post house had heard the news, Zhang Yang slowly led the team to the front of the post house...
The envoys from various families were really frightened, only Wu Shuo's face turned pale, while Jian Yong had a bitter smile.
Wu Shuo had discussed this matter with Jian Yong before. After all, Liu Bei was also one of the six marquises of the Han Dynasty, and was closer to him than Liu Zhang and his ilk. Zhang Song in particular was self-righteous. Not only was he ugly, he also always looked down on people. Wu Shuo didn't want to pay any attention to him at all!
However... Wu Shuo only sought consultation with Jian Yong after Wu Xiong "lost contact".
Jian Yong had originally persuaded him to just pretend that nothing had happened. As for Wu Xiong...wasn't it just a few years of hard labor? Be patient, he would be released sooner or later.
Even if Wu Xiong really discovered something, it is still confidential technology today, and it will not be taken so seriously in a few years. Since he has been caught, he has to accept the punishment.
However, Wu Shuo did not accept Jian Yong's persuasion, and chose to use the righteousness of the court to force Bai Tu to hand over Wu Xiong.
So we have this scene...
The prison carriage arrived at the entrance of the post station. The people around obviously knew what this place was, and there was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
"Posthouse? Isn't this where the envoys from other princes stay?"
"That's right! It must be these people!"
"I've long felt that they are not good people..."
"Chu is such a good country, but there are always people who want to harm us!"
There was no need for any deliberate guidance as there was already a commotion among the crowd.
The envoys of various princes were also invited out at this time. Zhang Yang politely bowed and said, "Sorry, sorry, I disturbed everyone's peace, but... last night we caught a thief who wanted to assassinate the Minister of Works of our Great Chu. He seemed to want to come to the posthouse. Hahahaha... I don't have any other intentions. Everyone, see if anyone recognizes this person!"
Wu Shuo had naturally recognized Wu Xiong from his figure, and he felt angry... and frightened.
What makes me angry is that Chu is just talking nonsense. When did he go to assassinate your Minister of Works?
I just want to "get" some information.
What was frightening was that there were so many people . If Wu Xiong's identity was confirmed...
Is the State of Chu going to go to war with the imperial court?
This... Bai Tu doesn't want to fight, but the Han Dynasty wants to fight?
Wu Shuo became anxious instead, and as Zhang Yang spoke, he smoothed up Wu Xiong's disheveled hair for the first time - his face had never been seen before, well... that's how he was identified, so naturally there was nothing to gain.
Zhang Yang didn’t want anyone to identify him, and… even if he put his hair up now, one could only see that the man’s body below his eyes was covered by the iron helmet. Unless it was someone familiar to him, no one would be able to tell who he was!
"This guy is quite stubborn and even wants to commit suicide, so we put a mask on him... Well, does Liu Changshi recognize this guy?" Zhang Yang asked, holding the iron helmet with the hilt of the sword in his hand.
Liu Yi was Gongsun Du's envoy, so of course he couldn't take the blame. He shook his head and said, "I don't know him. All our Youzhou people are here!"
Actually, Liu Yi really wanted to say...
This guy doesn't look like he's going to commit suicide, even though he's tied to the prison van with iron chains and his mouth is locked, but... no matter how you look at him, he seems to be struggling and whimpering towards the Han envoy, right?
If you take off this anti-suicide mask, you can solve the case, right?
