Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 472: Tuotuo's Doomsday

"Welcome the Prime Minister into the city!"

Outside the capital city, Zhang Tong respectfully invited Hama into the city. Hama was standing at the city gate at this time. Looking at Hama half-kneeling on the ground, there was a trace of melancholy on his face as if he was in another world. Finally, I'm back!
Hama thought so, he was really frightened along the way.

He thought it was a simple ancestor worship, but who could have imagined that there was a shocking conspiracy hidden behind it, and unfortunately he became the victim of this conspiracy!
First there was a sudden robbery, in which all his bodyguards were killed. Then he and his group were taken into the dilapidated Taoist temple, where the demon-slaying monk appeared and wanted to kill him.

When Hama thought of this, his whole body trembled. He could still imagine the power of the Demon Slayer's punch. If that punch had really hit his head, his head would have been shattered into pieces.

Fortunately, Chen Jiusi saved me, otherwise, how could I return to this capital.

And now that I have finally returned to Dadu, now that I am back, this matter is not so simple.

Tuotuo, just wait for my counterattack against you. If I don't make you pay a painful price today, I, Hama, will have lived in vain!
After figuring this out, Hama glanced at the gate of Dadu again, and then said to Zhang Tong: "Zhang Tong, you are very good. A man who knows the current situation is a hero. This time, if Tuotuo falls, you can come to my house to find me, and I will give you a bright future."

After hearing this, Zhang Tong immediately said, "Yes, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for his kindness."

Hama entered the sedan chair and tapped his feet three times. The sedan bearers immediately lifted it up and Wang Baobao said, "Let's go into the city!"

when!
The gong sounded immediately and the entire team went straight into the city.

Zhang Tong watched the team enter the city. A trusted person behind him said, "Sir, if we let him enter the city like this, how are we going to explain this to the Prime Minister?"

Zhang Tong heard this and said, "How can we explain it? How can we explain it? If the Prime Minister doesn't fall this time, we will just have to flee to the ends of the earth."

The confidant was stunned and asked, "Then why are you letting Hama go?"

Zhang Tong heard this and said, "If I let him go, I might die, but if I don't let him go, I will definitely die."

After saying this, Zhang Tong no longer wanted to explain. He immediately looked at the messengers sent by Tuotuo and said, "You can go back and report to the Prime Minister!"

After hearing this, the messenger looked at Zhang Tongdao and said, "Sir, if you do this, you will disappoint the Prime Minister."

Zhang Tongdao: "When you go back and report to the Lord, tell him that I, Zhang Tong, am ashamed of his kindness, but I, Zhang Tong, am a third-rank general of the court and cannot kill Daqian officials. Please forgive me, Lord Prime Minister!"

After Zhang Tong finished speaking, the messenger nodded immediately and said, "Then, I will convey it according to your words, sir."

Zhang Tongdao: "Go ahead."

Zhang Tong finally figured it out. If he didn't kill Hama, then as long as he bet that Hama would win in the end, not only would he be able to keep his current position, he might even be able to make further progress.

Of course, it is also possible that you make a wrong bet, and the result of making a wrong bet is that you will wander around the world. At worst, you will go to the underworld or even join the Red Turban Army. Maybe you can get a title or a general in the future, which is not too miserable.

But if I choose to kill Hama.

That would be a serious matter. I would be guilty of murdering the prime minister of the imperial court and plotting a rebellion. According to the laws of Daqian, I would surely be put to death, and the person chasing me would most likely be a strong man in the Melting God Realm.

Then I will definitely die.

And it was Wang Baobao who said, if he killed Hama and the court questioned him, would his master, Tuotuo, take the blame for him?

Ask yourself, if you were Tuotuo, you would never let a military officer under you take the blame. If the court came to punish you, if you were Tuotuo, you would just send him out and let the court execute him. In any case, you have to protect yourself.

Of course, if Tuotuo was a particularly conscientious person, he might make excuses for him.

But does he dare to bet that Tuotuo is kind? Or can he be a kind person if he can become the prime minister?
So Zhang Tong decided that he would quit. He was just a deputy commander, so why should he risk killing the prime minister and exterminating his entire clan to clear obstacles for Tuotuo?

Only after understanding these things could Zhang Tong perform as he did in front of the city gate.

His performance was quickly transmitted to Tuotuo's ears by the messenger.

Tuotuo was drinking tea at this time, but his eyes were darting around, and he was obviously absent-minded. Seeing him like this, the deputy general beside him said, "Don't worry, sir. Zhang Tong is reliable and nothing will go wrong."

After hearing this, Tuotuo sighed and said, "People's hearts are hidden, and this matter is very risky. If he betrays us halfway, it will be very bad."

The deputy general asked, "Do you want me to go and take a look?"

Tuotuo said: "I won't follow you now. Wait, I hope I am overthinking it, but I don't know why, I am always very uneasy."

The deputy general said: "Your Excellency is worrying too much, Zhang Tong..."

"My Lord, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened!"

Before the deputy general finished his words of comfort, he saw the messenger running over frantically, looking breathless. Seeing the messenger like this, Tuotuo frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The messenger immediately said, "Zhang Tong, Zhang Tong has rebelled!"

what!
Tuotuo's eyes almost popped out: "What did you say?"

The messenger said with a sad face: "Zhang Tong, Zhang Tong has rebelled!"

After hearing this, Tuotuo's eyes widened and he asked, "Zhang Tong, did Zhang Tong betray you?"

"Well, the sentry at the East City Gate just reported that Zhang Tong was persuaded by the other party to rebel, and then he knelt down to welcome Hama into the city. Now Hama has entered the city!"

Snapped!
Tuotuo sat down on the chair, his head buzzing. It was really painful that Zhang Tong stabbed him in the back. Tuotuo almost fainted from the pain.

Seeing Tuotuo like this, the deputy general beside him was immediately furious and said, "Zhang Tong, you actually betrayed your master. Prime Minister, I will kill him!"

Seeing the deputy general's indignant look, Tuotuo reached out to stop the deputy general's behavior, and then looked at the messenger and asked: "Where are Hama and the others now?"

After hearing this, the messenger said, "Go directly to the palace. They should be on their way to the palace now."

After hearing what the messenger said, Hama hesitated for a moment and said, "It's done. There's no turning back."

After saying this, the deputy general beside him said, "Prime Minister, then let's just watch Hama go to the emperor to file a complaint against us?"

Tuotuo heard this and said, "Do you want to kill the right prime minister in the street?"

The deputy general paused, not daring to speak again. At this time, Tuotuo said, "At this point, there is no room for recovery. In this case, we can only leave it to fate!"

At this point, Tuotuo was silent for a moment and then said, "Pass on my order, the auspicious time has arrived, you can start beheading the Little Ming King!"

"Ah, Prime Minister, the situation is urgent, are you still thinking about supervising the execution of the Little Ming King?"

The deputy general did not understand Tuotuo's thoughts.

Tuotuo said: "The more anxious you are, the more you can't be anxious. Anxiety will easily lead to mistakes. Now it's not to the point of no return. What did he accuse me of? Does he have any evidence?"

"He wants to sue me without any evidence. That's called defamation."

"I am the Left Prime Minister of a country. How can I be so scared of his attack that I don't even have time to supervise the execution of the imperial prisoners? Do you think I am afraid of him?"

Seeing Tuotuo's appearance, the deputy general was speechless and could only urge the people outside to arrest and execute the human traffickers.

When the deputy general and everyone else left, Tuotuo suddenly became depressed and his face turned pale.

The news of Zhang Tong's rebellion was a bolt from the blue for Tuotuo. You have to know that this was the first person to rebel in his own prime minister's office. If there was one, how long would the second, third, and fourth be?
Thinking of this, Tuotuo's face turned very ugly.

He seemed to have seen the scene of the building collapsing.

At this time, the deputy general outside saw the messenger and asked, "When did you follow the Prime Minister?"

"three years ago."

"It's been three years. Do you want to make achievements?"

The messenger said: "I have such little ability and my strength is only at the level of Hua Jin. How can I have any chance to achieve great things?"

"Hey, that's not the way to say it. There's a saying that success does not depend on age. All you need is a heart that is loyal to the Lord. Even though you only have Hua Jin, you still have a chance to achieve success."

The messenger looked at the deputy general and asked, "What did you say, General?"

"Go get rid of Hama!"

"Ah? Me?!!"

The messenger widened his eyes and looked at Hama in disbelief. Did you listen to what others said? I'm going to kill Hama?

The deputy general looked at him and said, "Why don't you understand, kid? That Hama has never practiced martial arts, but you have the strength to transform your energy. It's easy for you to kill him. Just think about it, you just need to get close to him, and then cut him with your knife, and you will have accomplished something!"

"By then, you will be the most popular person around the Prime Minister. In the future, all the glory and wealth will be yours. Think about it, isn't that the truth?"

The deputy general tried to persuade him in a gentle and persuasive way. The messenger looked at the deputy general and said, "Sir, you are making things difficult for me. I went to the palace to kill someone. Please spare me. I am afraid that I will be killed right after I reach Suzaku Street!"

After hearing this, the deputy general looked at the messenger and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show off your skills, why don't you know how to cherish it?"

The messenger said, "General, I was born poor. I am afraid I will not be able to enjoy this good life. General, you should find someone else!"

The deputy general shook his head after hearing this and said, "Okay, you go first. Don't say there is a good opportunity. I didn't help you."

The messenger said, "Thank you, General."

After saying this, the deputy general waved his hand at the messenger, and the messenger immediately ran away. He was treating me like a bully.

The deputy general looked at the messenger who left, turned his head to look at the house where Tuotuo was, and murmured, "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Now I can't even fool a messenger. It seems that I have to think of another way. I can't hang myself on this tree."

Thinking about the deputy general's silent departure, he murmured, "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. It seems that Tuotuo, this big tree, is unreliable. Zhang Tong is smart. He released the water at the east gate and let Hama remember him as a favor. This way, there can be a smooth transition. He is really a smart man. No, I have to find Zhang Tong and ask him to give me a hand!" As the saying goes, good birds choose the right trees to roost in. Seeing that the big tree of Tuotuo is about to fall, how can everyone not be aware of the danger.

Tuotuo was alone in the house digesting the uneasiness in his heart, and secretly told himself that many storms had passed, and this time it was just a test for him.

Tuotuo could actually understand the deputy generals' thoughts. He even knew that these people must be doing some small tricks behind the scenes.

There is a saying that goes, you leave the same way you came.

What this sentence means is that no matter how you attract these people, you will lose them in the same way in the future.

In the beginning, when these people came to me, it was because of my enormous power. They relied on the strong, so they followed me. Now that they see that their power is unstable, they naturally change their minds and have some other ideas. Tuotuo can understand all of this.

And he also knows how to solve this problem. As long as he takes back the power, these people will come back obediently and continue to be his dogs!
These guys exist just like that, they just want to survive by relying on the powerful.

Tuotuo took a deep breath. Today would definitely be the most difficult battle in his life. If he won, it would go without saying that he would have a bright future. But he lost!

Tuotuo sighed, then composed himself. No matter what, he had to finish singing for him today.

Thinking of this, Tuotuo stood up, straightened his first-grade Feihe official robe, and then walked out of the house.

At this time, many people had gathered outside to watch the excitement. Tuotuo walked up to the high position of the execution ground step by step and sat on it.

There was an official from the Ministry of Justice who was supervising the execution. When he saw Tuotuo sitting in his seat, he said, "Bring the prisoner!"

At the command, the poor scapegoat was dragged up immediately.

At this time, the poor scapegoat was pressed down on the execution platform and knelt there. At this time, the supervising official, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, said, "Confirm the identity of the prisoner."

At this time, the official in charge of recording stepped forward and shouted, "Han Lin'er!"

"Yes!"

The prisoner replied that verifying the prisoner's identity is an important regulated process, and its purpose is to ensure the prisoner's true identity. If you ask the prisoner's name and he shouts out, then it's not his!

Then the official in charge must immediately step forward to prove the true identity of the criminal. If he cannot prove it, the person cannot be killed, mainly because of the fear that someone will find a scapegoat.

However, no matter how good these rules are, they are of no use to officials who want to take advantage of loopholes.

Because they have their own ways to get around the twists and turns. After all, they are the judges. When the judges want to commit fraud, no one can stop it.

The official in charge of recording checked the identity information in detail, and then immediately came to the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and said to him, "Your Excellency, the prisoner has been identified."

After hearing this, the Right Assistant Minister nodded slightly, and then looked at Tuotuo who was sitting on the high platform, and Tuotuo nodded slightly.

The right assistant minister reacted and turned to the people below and said, "Silence!"

"After our investigation, we found that the prisoner Han Lin'er is the leader of the Zoroastrian rebels, the son of Han Shantong, and the current Zoroastrian thief king. Today, he was tried by the Daqian court and sentenced to death and executed immediately!"

"Come on, start killing!"

As he said this, the Right Vice Minister sat back in his official seat, picked up the bamboo slips for supervising execution on the table, and threw them to the ground.

"cut!"

At the command, an executioner stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pulled out the bamboo strip with the crime written on it from Han Lin'er's neck, then took his big knife and brought over a bowl of water.

At this time, the executioner took a sip and sprayed it on his own sword.

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of water sprayed on the knife, and then the executioner was seen holding the big knife and preparing to chop it off, and a good human head was about to fall down.

At this moment, the sound of a crossbow arrow was suddenly heard.

call out!
The arrow hit the executioner's hand directly, and the executioner screamed: "Ah~"

With a bang, the big knife fell to the ground.

"The Zoroastrian demon robbed the execution ground!"

At this moment, no one knew who shouted, and immediately the people watching the excitement below became chaotic, and the whole scene was extremely funny.

Looking at the scene below, Tuotuo's face remained calm. After all, it was he who let in these thieves who robbed the execution ground. The purpose was to create chaos. Now they had achieved their goal. He heard a shout, "Kill!"

The next moment, the entire execution ground was in complete chaos, as if there were traitors everywhere, and the common people were frightened and fled in all directions.

Tuotuo was very satisfied after seeing this. After all, it would be very difficult for these rebels to create a scene of Zoroastrian demons robbing the execution ground. Tuotuo even asked the officers and soldiers on duty to join in the chaos.

To make things bigger.

Finally, after this farce, Tuotuo felt that it was enough. He should have continued the farce for a while, but Hama caught him off guard today and he needed to focus more on dealing with Hama, so it would be enough to just perform the farce to 70% or 80% of the time.

Sure enough, under Tuotuo's instructions, this farce soon came to an end.

Of course, officially, under the command of the heroic Prime Minister Tuotuo of Daqian, the government troops achieved the greatest victory at a minimal cost, capturing ten, ahem... more than a thousand Zoroastrian demons.

It can be said that the heroic Lord Tuotuo did not win a small victory in this battle, but a huge victory. It was simply a great victory!

After this, the execution continued. This time, Tuotuo personally ordered the beheading and replaced the executioner.

At this time, the executioner raised his sword and sprayed water, then raised his knife and chopped off a good head. Blood splattered three feet away.

Seeing this, Tuotuo stood up and said, "The Little Ming King has been beheaded. Pass on my order. All the Zoroastrian demons listen up. Your leader has been killed. If you don't want to die, quickly surrender to the government troops. I will give you a decent end!"

Lord Tuotuo, with his heroic image, called on the Zoroastrian demons to surrender, to surrender immediately, without any hesitation!

The news quickly spread out of Dadu, and the people of Dadu were in an uproar for a while. After all, under the propaganda of the Daqian court, the Zoroastrian demons had long been regarded as unforgivable monsters, and there were even rumors that they ate human flesh raw.

The killing of such a demon is simply gospel for the people of Daqian.

So for a while, Tuotuo's reputation soared to the sky.

However, after killing the "Little Ming King", Tuotuo did not enjoy the cheers of the people too much, but turned around and prepared to enter the palace. After all, there was a big battle waiting for him there!
"Where are Hama and the others?"

Tuotuo asked the guard beside him, and the guard said after hearing this: "They have already passed Zhuque Street. They did not stop but went straight to the palace. They did not even go home on the way."

After hearing this, Tuotuo's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Haha, he's afraid that we will do something bad to him now!"

After hearing this, the guard looked at Tuotuo and said, "They are looking down on you, my Lord. As your Lord, why do you need to do something bad to them?"

Tuotuo did not answer after hearing this.

How could it be possible that he didn't do anything dirty? He had actually done the corresponding things in Hama's mansion. As long as Hama returned to the mansion, he would definitely give him a surprise. He didn't expect that this old man was so smart that he actually avoided the assassin this time.

Although Tuotuo did not expect that he could use such a small trick to kill his competitor, it was always an uncomfortable feeling when his trick failed.

So Tuotuo said, "Prepare the sedan chair and go to the palace."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, the subordinates immediately sent someone to prepare a sedan chair, and then the group headed straight to the palace. What followed was the real scene of their bayonet fighting.

Of course, before that, Tuotuo still wanted to make a final struggle.

At this time, the group headed straight for the palace. At this time, in front of the palace gate, Hama looked up at the palace, and his heart suddenly settled. At this time, he looked at Wang Baobao beside him and said, "We are finally here."

Wang Baobao said: "Yes, sir, we can't let Tuotuo go easily this time."

"Don't worry. This time, if he doesn't die, it will be unjust."

Thinking of this, Hama asked, "Will you go with me?"

Wang Baobao said, "Okay, I will accompany you, sir. After all, there are some arrogant people in the palace, and I am afraid that they will become desperate and start a war in the palace."

After hearing this, Hama said, "Well, let's go into the palace."

Wang Baobao looked back at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, you and your men wait here. I will accompany the old man to the palace to see the emperor."

Zhao Ya said: "Third brother, be careful."

Wang Baobao said: "Don't worry, now that we are here, I will be extra careful and will not allow anything to go wrong."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya nodded slightly, followed Wang Baobao and turned around to follow Hama to the palace gate. At this time, Hama said to the guards: "Go and inform His Majesty that Hama is here to celebrate the birthday."

The guard saw Hama and said, "Old sir, His Majesty was frightened last night and has not yet gotten up today. Please wait here for a while. When His Majesty wakes up, he will summon you."

After hearing this, Hama looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Thank you for your help! Please find me as soon as His Majesty wakes up."

The guard nodded, and the two of them waited here. After waiting for a while, there was suddenly a loud noise outside, and then a group of people were seen walking slowly towards them, and the one leading them was Tuotuo.

When Tuotuo saw Hama, he immediately smiled and said, "Haha, old man, how are you?"
