Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 157 Biting each other

"That's right, General. Brother Xu Fu is beloved by the immortals, so he was given the elixir. Brother Xu Fu refined the elixir a while ago, and the people tried it, and the effect was immediate."

"Many of these people can testify to this."

Hearing Liu Ji speaking for him like this, Xu Fu looked at Liu Ji with satisfaction.

Wang Ben was silent and turned to look at the official.

The official had no choice but to nod.

“Many people were witnesses.”

"But we have never seen the elixir."

These officials also knew that Xianyang had openly tested the poison of elixirs.

It was under the watchful eyes of the public and witnessed by the entire Xianyang city, so it couldn't be faked.

Moreover, this matter came from the mouth of the right prime minister.

It must be correct.

When they heard about Xu Fu's elixir, their first reaction was that it was fake.

They also checked from many sources, but all the people said that this was true, and they even specially invited doctors to see the people who took the elixir.

In the end, the doctor couldn't see anything wrong.

So, Wang Ben made up his mind.

"Come here, take Xu Fu away."

When these words came out, Xu Fu and Liu Ji were dumbfounded.

Aren't you here to invite him?

How did you take it away?

"promise."

"Why are you arresting me?"

Xu Fu wanted to shake off the soldiers on both sides, but he didn't have the brute strength, so he could only yell at Wang Ben angrily.

At this time, Liu Ji watched Xu Fu being escorted by the soldiers and dared not even breathe.

I can't wait to leave now.

"Xu Fu spread rumors and created trouble, falsely claiming he had met an immortal, and deceived people."

"I have been ordered by the king to capture Xu Fu."

"take away."

"Are you an accomplice of Xu Fu?"

When Liu Ji heard the question, he was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead.

He collapsed to the ground immediately.

"It's not me, it's Xu Fu. It was Xu Fu who asked me to come. I have to come."

Seeing this man so timid and cowardly, Wang Ben frowned.

"Your actions are despicable."

Xu Fu was furious. Looking at Liu Ji, he felt an unprecedented sense of deception and betrayal.

"Liu Ji, you and I have always been close brothers. Today, when you saw me being arrested, you were so quick to distance yourself from the matter."

"Shameless kid."

"Have you forgotten the money you took from someone in the past?"

Liu Ji felt even more resentful.

Looking at Xu Fu, I wished I could tear his mouth apart.

It is so arranged.

"General, I've only just met him these past few days. We definitely don't have a personal relationship."

"I'm from Kuaiji, and I grew up here. Everyone in the neighborhood knows me. General, please find out."

"A few days ago, I helped Xu Fu recover his money on the street, and that's how we met."

"Who would have thought that this person would be a liar."

"I thought this man had some incredible fortune and possessed some magical medicine. I wanted to establish a good relationship with him. If I could buy some magical medicine from him, I could also present it to the king."

"I sincerely hope that General, please do not believe the words of such a mean person."

The two of them each insisted on their own opinion and started arguing in the house.

Wang Ben looked away in disgust at his expression.

"Who of them takes what they say seriously?"

The official shook his head.

They can't say anything about this private matter.

Moreover, Liu Ji was a notorious ruffian who did nothing all day long and had many friends.

If they really had known Xu Fu privately for a long time and the two of them were colluding with each other, they would not know about it.

Wang Ben understood.

"Capture Liu Ji as well and take him away."

"promise."

After arresting the man, Wang Ben took his men away.

He prepared to take the two back to Xianyang to report.

Before leaving, he looted all the elixirs from Xu Fu's residence and took them to Xianyang.

When Wang Ben left with two thousand men, Kuaiji was in an uproar.

That great man Xu Fu turned out to be a liar.

That pill was not some magical medicine, but a deadly poison.

The news became more and more outrageous, and later it was reported that Xu Fu had committed ruthless acts in Kuaiji and wanted to poison everyone in Kuaiji with elixirs.

At the same time, Liu Ji's family also received the news.

Father Liu couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

The sons hurried to call a doctor.

Wait until you wake up in the afternoon.

Father Liu was filled with grief: "I knew that Liu Ji would cause trouble sooner or later."

"He's trying to kill our family."

No matter how Liu's mother and sons tried to comfort her, it was of no use.

Father Liu scolded Liu Ji for a long time before he reacted: "Hurry, let's pack up our things. We can't stay here any longer. Let's leave."

"Father, why is this?"

"You are stupid."

Father Liu slapped his son on the head. The loud slapping sound gave him a headache.

"Liu Ji is colluding with the thieves, and now the king knows everything."

"If the king were to punish us, how could our family escape?"

"Quick, pack up and leave."

The whole family quickly began to pack their luggage. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, they quietly left home and headed into the mountains.

They all have great strength and can always find a way to survive in the mountains.

Liu Ji, who was being escorted to Xianyang, had no idea of ​​his family's reaction at the moment, let alone how long they had been scolding him.

Father Liu wished he had never given birth to this child.

It's better than leaving the whole family homeless.

When Wang Ben brought Xu Fu and Liu Ji back to Xianyang, spring plowing was almost over.

"My Lord, General Wang Ben has returned to Xianyang."

Zhang Yuanqing was discussing something with Fusu, and Er was standing at the door reporting.

"Did the master catch it?"

"My Lord, General Wang Ben brought back two men, one named Xu Fu and the other Liu Ji."

"Clang"

Zhang Yuanqing accidentally knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground, making a harsh sound.

"Teacher, be careful."

Ah Er hurried in and cleaned up the broken pieces.

Then Qingque put the cup back on.

"Teacher, what's the problem with Xu Fu and Liu Ji?"

Fusu asked curiously.

This was the first time Fusu had met someone who could make his teacher react like this just by hearing his name.

Zhang Yuanqing adjusted his attitude and smiled gently.

"There is no problem."

"It's just that I suddenly thought of some past events."

Hearing this, Fusu asked no more questions.

It’s better not to think too much about the teacher’s past experiences.

When the State of Chu was destroyed, my father ordered General Meng Wu to get rid of the relatives who poisoned the teacher.

The grass on the grave is so tall now.

But no one told the teacher about this.

After all, they are from the same tribe, and I was afraid that the teacher would be sad after hearing it.

It's not worth it for those people.

"Didn't they say there was a master? Why did General Wang Ben bring back two people?"

After Er finished cleaning up, Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously.

"My Lord, this slave has not heard of it."

"Teacher, don't worry. Tomorrow is the morning court session, and General Wang Ben will definitely report to my father."

This is true.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't ask any more questions at that moment.

The master and disciple started talking about other things again.

In a blink of an eye, another day comes.

After several years of developing the habit, Zhang Yuanqing is no longer the Zhang Yuanqing who needed A Da and A Er to apply cold water on his face before he could get up.

However, the practice of attending court sessions remained the same for several years.

When all the court officials had arrived but the king had not yet arrived, Zhang Yuanqing stood in his position.

I have a question for you guys: Is updating three chapters of 6,000 words a day too little? Be objective.
