Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 241 Lying is punished by God

How could Zhuge Dan swear!

First of all, he is now the prime minister of a country, and he swears in public that he has not murdered the prince, princess, or future princess? How can it be!

"The truth is that there is no murder, that means there is no murder. What else do I need to swear?"

He didn't swear. Even if there was no divine punishment, it would be detrimental to his reputation.

"That's strange. Who put the mushroom poison in this food?" Zhou Tangtang said, "These meals were delivered to your house, and you delivered them to the post house."

"From the time these dishes were prepared to the time they were delivered to the post house, the truth has not been revealed at all. There are so many buyers and cooks. Who knows who poisoned them? How about going to jail and interrogating them one by one?"

Zhuge Dan said it very lightly: "If it doesn't work, kill all the cooks. There are many cooks in the world."

"You, aren't you killing innocent people indiscriminately?" Zhou Tangtang said angrily, "You are so cruel, how can you be worthy of being the prime minister of a country?"

"I was forced to do this by the princess and the county chief. Otherwise, what do you think we should do?"

He seemed respectful, but said provocatively, "The county magistrate has been in the countryside for a long time, and he always believes in folklore about divine punishment. If swearing is useful, why do you need the law? Just go swear and let God decide the case."

They ridiculed Xie Yanyan for being a countryman with no culture and limited knowledge.

Zhou Shaoyu said to Liu Geer: "You sent these meals all the way from the palace to the inn. Do you dare to swear that these poisons have nothing to do with you?"

Liu Geer had been wronged even more than Dou E. He knelt on the ground, with tears in his nose and three fingers pointing to the sky, and swore: "If this slave is poisoned and lies, the sky will thunder and the boulder will crush the top, I will never be able to do it." "Superborn."

Xie Yanyan: It’s a pity that I don’t know how to be struck by lightning.
He swore, and sure enough, the sky was still clear, and there was no thunder or lightning.

Zhuge Dan sneered: "Your Majesty, these oaths are just for others to see. This slave has been following me from beginning to end. It is ten percent that he was the one who administered the poison. He also pretended to test the poison with a silver needle. I don't think his silver needle can tell." all fake."

Liu Geer simply wanted to die. He kowtowed so hard that his forehead bled: "Your Majesty, I was wronged. I never lied. I wouldn't dare to use ten thousand of my brains to poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess."

Zhou Shaoyu pointed at the housekeeper of Zhuge Mansion and said: "You were also the one who delivered the food all the way. Liu Geer swore that if you didn't poison him, you swore to show it to everyone."

The housekeeper was trembling, he didn't dare!
Zhuge Dan looked at him and said nonchalantly: "His Royal Highness asked you to swear, but you still don't swear? Damn! Use the most vicious words to curse!"

What's the most vicious thing to say?
The housekeeper glanced at the Prime Minister and said cruelly: "I didn't poison the prince, the princess and the Lord of Yongning County. If I lied, the sky would be struck by thunder and the boulders would crush me. My wife, children and grandchildren would all die without a burial place, and the Prime Minister too." He will die without a burial place."

Zhuge Dan was so angry that he cursed: "You bastard, you swear, what are you doing with your true identity?"

He kicked him over and did not retract his legs. He only heard "Hu~" and "Hu~"

Zhou Xiaocheng and the princess suddenly saw something dark coming from the sky. Before they could even make a sound, a dozen large rocks fell from the sky.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

Following a huge shock when he landed on the ground, the housekeeper of Zhuge Mansion was hit with his brains blown out in Zhuge Dan's face.

Zhuge Dan tried his best to pull on an official next to him. The official screamed in fright and tried to shake Zhuge Dan away, but couldn't.

The big stone smashed the housekeeper of Zhuge Mansion to death on the spot. Zhuge Dan broke one of his legs because he kicked the housekeeper and didn't take it back.

At the same time, rocks fell from the sky in Zhuge Mansion. The house where the housekeeper's wife and children lived was smashed with several large holes. No one was killed, but they were all injured. Now everyone believes that God really has eyes.

Facts have proved that the poisoning was the matter of Zhuge Mansion.

Zhou Shaoyu said to Zhuge Dan: "It seems that swearing is useful. Then Master Zhuge, please swear that you did not poison me. If you swear, your father, the emperor, and your mother will believe you."

How could Zhuge Dan dare to swear? He dragged his injured leg and crawled towards Zhou Xiaocheng in tears.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty and blind. I actually raised such a thief as my housekeeper. He must be an old subordinate of the former prince and his spy, specially here to instigate the relationship between me and Your Majesty."

Climbing faster than a lizard, he crawled to Zhou Xiaocheng's feet, hugged his legs, and resisted the divine punishment.

[I didn’t swear, don’t let God punish me]

[If you want to smash it, just smash Zhou Xiaocheng, he killed more people than me]

[Don’t hit me. I’ll burn incense and offer three sacrifices to you later. I’ll call you my father, okay?]

Xie Yanyan: If you call me daddy, I dare not agree!
Zhou Xiaocheng said helplessly: "Although you didn't poison yourself, you have nothing to do with it. Let's do this. I'll fine you a year's salary and go back to tidy up the house."

Zhuge Dan kowtowed happily and thanked him. On the way home, he asked a servant to sit with him in the sedan chair. He did not dare to face God alone.

Zhou Shaoyu was very disappointed when Zhou Xiaocheng spared Zhuge Dan so lightly, and left without saying anything, dragging Xie Yanyan with him.

Zhou Tangtang laughed loudly and said to the princess: "Mother, please take care of yourself."

He also left.

Back at the post house, Xie Yanyan said to Xie Anfeng, "Father, Xie Jinrong is dead. Do you want to pay homage to him?"

Xie Anfeng shook his head: "Forget it, let's never see each other again in life or death."

Only Zhou Tangtang was always excited. He pulled Xie Yanyan and said, "Do you think there is really a divine punishment in this world? That big rock fell just now and it almost scared me to death."

"You didn't lie, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of accidentally injuring someone. After all, it's such a big stone. You didn't see the housekeeper, your brain is fried."

"It's a pity that it wasn't Zhuge Dan who smashed it."

Zhou Tangtang said regretfully, "My father became the emperor. I feel that it is not as satisfying as the king of Nanhai. Even if Zhuge Dan made great contributions when he helped him conquer the world, it should not be like this now. There is no majesty at all. Everywhere Being controlled by a minister, who has the final say in the court? I am worried that one day Zhuge Dan will kill him and become the emperor himself. "

But the persuasion didn't work.

Zhou Shaoyu leaned back on the chair: "My father is now the emperor for the first time. He feels a little inferior because he has always been a military general and dominated the battlefield. But when it comes to court management, he knows nothing about it and is afraid, so he just listens to Zhuge Dan."

"When he hears the word Zhuge now, he thinks it is the incarnation of wisdom. Zhuge Dan has always claimed to be a descendant of Zhuge Liang, and his father is superstitious about him."

Xie Yanyan listened to the analysis of Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Tangtang, and said in his heart that in the final analysis, it was still his greed for the throne that made him sacrifice his own children.

Several people were here unscrupulously analyzing the psychology of the emperor Zhou Xiaocheng. A clerk ran in from the post station and said respectfully: "Someone is looking for General Xie Anfeng."

Xie Yanyan followed Xie Anfeng out and saw a young woman wearing a fox fur cloak. When she saw Xie Anfeng, she immediately knelt down and called out: "Master!"
