Murong Xiaotian, Kuizhan, Mingxin, and Ling'er walked towards the beach at a high speed. As soon as they left the south end of Yujia Village, they saw a lot of villagers gathered on the beach near the ship, as if some grand meeting was about to be held.
"Give way, haha, please give way," Murong Xiaotian, who walked up to him, separated from the crowd and walked in with a smile, while secretly thinking about how to save Ah Si.
"Ah Si colluded with the pirates and kidnapped Lu Xiaobao, committing an unforgivable crime. Our fisherman's village has never seen anything like this in the past hundred years. Fortunately, a few warriors rescued Lu Xiaobao. If the pirates had let the pirates "Having obtained the right to break through the Calabash Bend, what serious consequences will it bring to our Yujia Village? It will be devastating. Therefore, the mistakes made by Ah Si will never be forgiven," when the villagers faced At the front, there is an elderly villager from Yujia Village making concluding remarks. From the looks of it, he should be a very prestigious member of the Yujia Village.
To the left of the old man, in the center facing the villagers, Village Chief Lu and Lu Xiaobao were standing there with serious faces. On the ground to the right of the old man, it was Ah Si who Murong Xiaotian was looking for, tied up like a rice dumpling. In a pig cage, with large rocks tied at both ends, there were four strong men standing in front of the cage energetically.
At this time, the shipwright Ah Si, who was placed in a cage, had his eyes slightly closed, his face was pale and ashen.
"Ah Si, I'll give you one last chance to tell you why you did this," Village Chief Lu looked at Ah Si with a heavy tone.
"I," the muscles on Ah Si's face trembled slightly, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Lu, I have nothing to say. In a word, Brother Xiaobao, I'm sorry for you."
Lu Xiaobao looked at Ah Si in the pig cage on the ground. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. There was a look of unbearability in his eyes and he shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't figure out why Ah Si wanted to trick him into going to sea. , he and Ah Si were friends who grew up together.
"I didn't expect that Ah Si has such deep affection for the Wu family's wife," Murong Xiaotian stood at the front of the villagers, feeling quite emotional. Of course he knew that Ah Si was not allowed to do this because he wanted to use Lu Xiaobao to steal from the pirates. He only did this in exchange for the wife of the Wu family. Now Ah Si would rather die than betray the wife of the Wu family. It seems that Ah Si's feelings for the wife of the Wu family are not fake.
But no matter what, the wife of the Wu family has a husband. Murong Xiaotian still disagrees with Ah Si's behavior, but he still feels that Ah Si's crime is not worthy of death. Besides, even if Ah Si does deserve to die, Murong Xiaotian Xiaotian still has to find a way to rescue Ah Si. This person is too important to him, but he is also very embarrassed in his heart. What if the people in Yujia Village refuse to let him go? Will they be forced to do so? This made Murong Xiaotian very embarrassed. He really didn't want to fall out with Uncle Lu and the others.
"Hey, since you don't want to say anything, I have to follow the ancient rules of our fisherman's village," Village Chief Lu sighed to Ah Si, and then said to the men, women, and children in front of him in a loud voice: "Ah Si colluded with pirates and harmed the villagers. He committed a heinous crime. According to the rules of our fisherman's village, he will be put to death in a pig cage." After speaking, Uncle Lu waved his hands to the big men. He couldn't bear to make such a decision. Si's father He went missing at sea very early. This child was raised by himself, and he was very smart. He built many boats of all sizes in the village. He was indeed an indispensable helper for the fisherman's village. However, Uncle Lu But he had to consider the comfort of the whole village. Besides, he couldn't find a suitable reason to let Ah Si go. It's not that he didn't give Ah Si a chance, but Ah Si refused to say anything.
"Wait a minute," Murong Xiaotian shouted, walked out, waved his hand to stop the four strong men who were about to lift the pig cage into the water, and said to Village Chief Lu with a smile, "Uncle Lu, I have something to say."
"Who are you? Our Yujia Village does not allow outsiders to interfere in the affairs of our Yujia Village," the elderly NPC villager shouted in a deep voice, looking at Murong Xiaotian without anger. It seemed that he had quite a status in Yujia Village.
"Gong Lu, Xiaobao was rescued by him," Village Chief Lu hurriedly came up to smooth things over.
"Oh, you saved Lu Xiaobao from the pirates," the old man's expression softened a lot, but he still said seriously: "You are a hero. You saved Lu Xiaobao and everyone in our village is grateful to you, but our fisherman family Outsiders are not allowed to interfere in village affairs,"
Murong Xiaotian looked calm and said to the old man with a smile: "Old man, I will never interfere in the affairs of your Yujia Village. It's just that I have a reason for Ah Si not to die. I just don't want to see him die in vain." , I just want to tell the truth. As for how you deal with Ah Si, I will never interfere,"
"Oh, is there any reason for him to betray his compatriots? Is it possible that he colluded with pirates and is not guilty of death?" the old man asked. Of course, this is also a question that Village Chief Lu and the whole village, men, women, and children want to know.
"To say that Ah Si colluded with pirates is really an injustice to him. Besides, he alone has no ability to collude with pirates," Murong Xiaotian looked at the old man and said lightly. However, what he said It is indeed true. This Ah Si only deceived Lu Xiaobao into going to sea to save Mrs. Wu Sanniang. To say that he colluded with pirates is really an injustice to him. What Murong Xiaotian said is absolutely true.
"Then why did he try to trick Xiaobao out of the Calabash Bay and let the pirates capture him," Village Chief Lu couldn't help but interjected.
"That's right, if you say he was wrongly accused, you have to give a convincing reason," the villagers below all started talking.
"Hey, that's because a person who was very important to Ah Si was captured by the pirates. The pirates proposed to Ah Si that they would let him go as long as Ah Si took Lu Xiaobao out of the gourd bend. That's why Ah Si did this. ," Murong Xiaotian said plausibly: "Of course, it was wrong for Ah Si to exchange one person for another, but he was also confused because of his impatience, and Lu Xiaobao is safe now. This Ah Si The four sins will never lead to death." Murong Xiaotian's face did not change and his heart did not beat. What he said was also true.
The villagers below started to talk about it. They all thought that if what Murong Xiaotian said was true, then Ah Si should not be executed like this. However, the focus of discussion was still focused on whether Ah Si was. In order to save someone from pirates, Lu Xiaobao was tricked out of the island.
Standing below, they were also busy watching Murong Xiaotian's eloquent performance of Kuang Zhan: "Brother Tian is not going to betray Wu San's wife, is he?" Kuang Zhan whispered into Ming Xin's ear. explain.
"You're an idiot," Ming Xin rolled her eyes at Kuang Zhan and whispered, "Do you think my eldest brother is as stupid as you? If that happens, not to mention that you can't save Ah Si, even the Wu family's wife's life will be involved."
"What are you going to do that day?"
"How do I know? I'm not the roundworm in my brother's belly,"
"But why do I feel like you are like roundworms in my stomach?"
"I hate it. If you want to be beaten, why don't you just die..."
While the villagers were discussing with Kuang Zhan and the others, there was one person who was already disheartened and completely despairing. That was Ah Si. At this time, his face was even paler, his teeth were biting his lips tightly, and he looked at him with pleading eyes. Murong Xiaotian, but Murong Xiaotian didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist.
"If what you say is true, we can be lenient and treat Ah Si lightly, but we must be convinced by what you say," the old man looked at Murong Xiaotian calmly.
Of course." Murong Xiaotian also nodded seriously: "Ah Si was simmered in lard to save his father and tricked Lu Xiaobao into going to sea." This time Murong Xiaotian started to tell lies, and at the same time he was thinking Secretly smiling bitterly: "Damn, I didn't expect that I would start telling lies with my eyes open. Damn it, I have to fool these guys."
"Damn, thanks to Brother Tian, he figured it out," Kuai Zhan and the others almost laughed out loud.
"impossible……"
"How could that be possible..."
"Isn't Ah Si's father dead long ago..."
"He's not dead, he disappeared after going to sea..."
"But, I have been missing for seven or eight years..."
The villagers started talking loudly, but most people didn't believe it.
Only Ah Si, in a daze, cast a grateful look at Murong Xiaotian. At the same time, his face showed a mixture of joy and hesitation. Fortunately, Murong Xiaotian kept his promise and did not betray him. , and is still working hard to save himself. What's more, he doesn't know how Murong Xiaotian can fulfill this lie, but no matter what, even if Murong Xiaotian can't save himself, he is very grateful to Murong Xiaotian, although, he I don’t know why Murong Xiaotian worked so hard to save him,”
"What you said surprised us, we really can't believe it," the old man looked at Murong Xiaotian questioningly.
"Don't worry, I will make you believe it," Murong Xiaotian always had a calm smile on his face, but he cursed coldly in his heart: "Damn it, I have already inquired about it. Ah Si's father was born in 1978 He disappeared a while ago. No one knows whether he is dead or alive. He must have been feeding the fish and shrimps for a long time. I will give you a dead man without any proof. What the hell are you capable of? Even if you really don’t believe it, you can’t do it. No one dares to say that what I said is false, right?"
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me." Seeing everyone talking, Murong Xiaotian suddenly raised his voice and used the power of intimidation, and there was a sudden silence.
"Ahem," Murong Xiaotian coughed lightly and began to tell the story he made up: "When we went to rescue Lu Xiaobao, we met Ah Si's father on Skull Island. Ah Si's father was captured by pirates and has been there ever since. Working hard on Skull Island, the pirates have been trying to force Ah Si's father to obey them for so many years, but Ah Si's father would rather die than obey. Some time ago, Ah Si was encountered by the pirates when he went to sea, and the pirates wanted to They came up with such a method, threatening Ah Si with Ah Si’s father and asking Ah Si to trick Lu Xiaobao into coming out, otherwise he would kill Ah Si’s father. Therefore, Ah Si did such a wrong thing in desperation..."
"What about Ah Si's father?"
"Hey, in order to help us rescue Lu Xiaobao, unfortunately he fell into the crater and died," Murong Xiaotian said with an expression of infinite regret.
"Damn it, Brother Tian is really awesome. Not only did he make Ah Si's father look heroic to gain everyone's sympathy, but in the end he left his body dead and unverifiable. It's grandma's fault and he's lying. It’s watertight, it’s perfect, it’s ruthless,” Kui Zhan whispered in Ming Xin’s ear. While feeling extremely emotional, he couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud when he saw Murong Xiao Tian’s righteous and awe-inspiring look.
"I didn't expect that lying could be so charming," Ling'er whispered to Ming Xin, pursing her lips and chuckling.
After Murong Xiaotian finished speaking, he was very proud. The villagers couldn't find any loopholes in what he said, and it seemed reasonable and reasonable. He also proved it to death, and he said it very loudly, even Ah Si should have heard it. It is clear that as long as Ah Si nods and admits that this is the case, then even if the villagers are suspicious, they will not dare to execute Ah Si hastily."
"My little friend, what you said is reasonable and reasonable, but you can't prove it," the old man who was originally very calm finally showed a look of dilemma on his face.
"If I didn't give you some heavy medicine, you'd really be in trouble," Murong Xiaotian was annoyed. He suddenly released the Ni Yuan Beast King and rode up with his left hand on his chest. He said solemnly: "I swear in the name of a knight that everything I said today is true. If there is even half a lie, I will be deprived of the honor of a knight."
Murong Xiaotian looked solemn, but he was even more proud in his heart: "Hey, I'm not a knight. The name and honor of a knight have nothing to do with me. You can't help but believe it now,"
"Fuck, he can even think of this trick. I'm really convinced by him," Kuizhan said, almost laughing to his death.
At this time, the villagers in Yujia Village were moved. They all knew that when a person in any profession pledges his professional honor, it is the highest oath. Generally, no one dares to use his sacred profession to Lying.
Of course, they didn't know that Murong Xiaotian was not a knight, and they wouldn't believe that a warrior could own a mount even if they were killed.
"My little friend, there is no need to make such a solemn oath, we believe you," the old man finally agreed with Murong Xiaotian's statement. At the same time, he waved his hand and asked the big men to release Ah Si.
