1540. Chapter 1540 The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Fallen Leaves V
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at everyone present: "I admit that you have some tricks, which once caused me a lot of trouble and almost put me in a desperate situation. But fortunately, I persisted in the end. Facts have proved that,
It is impossible for crooked ways to defeat justice."
"Sir, what you said is too profound. The more I listen, the more confused I become..." Ding Xiong said with a solemn face, word by word.
Ma Xiaoyao had no intention of paying attention to Ding Xiong, and just continued following his own train of thought: "In order to destroy evidence, you resorted to ruthless means and killed more than 7,000 people, including many women and children. I really can't imagine it.
How can you do this? Do you still have any humanity?" At this point, Ma Xiaoyao sneered: "I still say what I said, God is watching what you do, you have done so many evil things.
Sooner or later, things will be punished by God."
The faces of Ding Xiong and others were getting more and more ugly, and they were on the verge of breaking out.
"And Guan Yi..." A sharp light flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes: "You think I would be wary of Guan Yi's background and not dare to investigate his misappropriation of military funds... To be honest, I have hesitated and worried.
But in the end I was still determined to arrest Guan Yi, because I am a conscientious person, and if you want me to violate my principles and let Guan Yi go, that is absolutely impossible. I have lived for more than thirty years, and the only thing worthy of my life is
What I am proud of is... I have never done anything against my conscience!"
"Speaking of Guan Yi... I would like to take the liberty to ask." Ding Xiong asked in a conspiratorial tone: "I wonder how you want to deal with Guan Yi?"
"I have reported the crimes committed by Guan Yi to the Emperor. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Emperor will issue an imperial edict to deal with Guan Yi." Ma Xiaoyao said calmly.
"What if the emperor wants to let Guan Yi go? Will you obey?" Ding Xiong said with a malicious smile.
"What you are saying is simply nonsense." Ma Xiaoyao snorted: "Guan Yi committed such a serious crime, how could the emperor let him go?"
"If it were anyone else, the emperor would definitely punish him severely, even beheading is possible, but as for Guan Yi, we can't say for sure." Ding Xiong said with a smile: "Guan Yi is the father-in-law of Xuanwuhou, and Xuanwuhou's sister
She is Concubine Hua. After all, Guan Yi can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. Even if the emperor is angry again, he will give honor to Concubine Hua and Marquis Xuanwu. More than one million taels of silver may be a lot for us, but for the emperor
It's trivial to say anything. If Marquis Xuanwu and Concubine Hua insist on keeping them safe, the Emperor will probably give in."
"Impossible." Ma Xiaoyao's face darkened: "I believe the emperor will decide it justly!"
"I hope so." Ding Xiong pushed away the chair and stood up: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some urgent business matters that need to be dealt with in the military camp. I have to take a step first. I'll have time to entertain General Ma another day." Now that I have broken my heart.
, Ding Xiong was not in the mood to stay any longer.
"I also have official business to attend to."
"I have something urgent at home..."
"I suddenly felt unwell."
…
Everyone else also stood up and said goodbye, of course, with the exception of one person, Tian Zhengang. He had been sitting on his chair without speaking, but his expression seemed a little hesitant.
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly: "Now that you're here, don't leave."
"What do you mean?" Ding Xiong's face changed.
Ma Xiaoyao ignored Ding Xiong, but turned to look at Gu Zhiqiu: "How's it going?"
Gu Zhiqiu nodded: "Things are going very smoothly and we can start at any time."
"Okay, let's do it." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"What do you want to do!" Ding Xiong realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed towards the door. Unexpectedly, he just took two steps, and felt his chest became tight, and his breathing suddenly became extremely difficult. He stood firm for a moment, and then fell
Fall to the ground.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
Several other captains of ten thousand also fell to the ground, including Tian Zhengang.
"You...what did you do to us..." Ding Xiong's face was full of horror.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Let Lao Gu answer this question."
Gu Zhiqiu pushed away the chair and stood up, looking at Ding Xiong and others with a smile: "Have you ever heard of Gu insects?"
"Gu worms? Gu worms used by the Miao people?" Ding Xiong exclaimed.
"Yes, they are the Gu insects used by the Miao people." Gu Zhiqiu nodded: "They are in your body right now."
"You...you bastard..." Ding Xiong's face instantly turned extremely pale.
"Gu Zhiqiu, we have no grievances against you, why do you want to plot against us!" Wu Haibiao shouted loudly.
"You haven't offended me, but you have offended Mr. Ma. I am on the same warship with Mr. Ma. If you offend him, you have offended me, so I will definitely not let you go." Gu Zhiqiu said coldly.
.
"How did you do it? Why didn't I notice it at all?" Ding Xiong asked through gritted teeth.
"I originally wanted to poison you, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that poisoning is too difficult. You people are too smart, especially Din Xiong, who is even more difficult to deal with. I think it will be difficult to poison you, so I think it will be difficult to succeed.
I thought of Gu worms. Gu worms are very evil. It should be easier to plot against you. Facts have proved that I was right." Gu Zhiqiu said with a smile: "I hid the Gu worms in my sleeves in advance and slowly waited for the opportunity.
Let's start...At this time, Mr. Ma deliberately said some sensitive words to stimulate you, making you panic and anxious. When you focused all your attention on Mr. Ma, I started to take action...
To be on the safe side, I released them one by one, and then sent them into your bodies one by one... The process was very smooth, so smooth that I was surprised... It seems that you are not very vigilant.
Well."
"Gu Zhiqiu, I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
"We are in trouble today."
"I took every precaution, but in the end I was tricked."
"Scolded the guy next door!"
…
The shouts and curses came and went, one sound louder than the other.
"You don't need to waste your efforts. Even if you shout until your throat is broken, no one will come in to save you." Ma Xiaoyao could see the intention of Ding Xiong and others at a glance: "The soldiers you brought have been killed by me.
Take the guards down."
"Ma Xiaoyao, you are going to die badly!!!" Ding Xiong roared with blood-red eyes.
"Whether I will die a good death is still unknown, but you will definitely die a good death today." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Lao Gu, if you continue to prod them, I find that they have not understood their situation until now.
, all of them are quite arrogant."
Gu Zhiqiu cleared his throat and said: "I forgot to tell you just now. The Gu worms in your body have a nice name, called 'bloodthirsty worms'. Although they are small in size, they suck blood very fiercely, so they are useless.
How long will it take until you become a mummy?"
"Ah...I feel something running around inside me..."
"I feel it too."
"Am I really going to die here today?"
"I haven't lived yet!"
…
Under the stimulation of Gu Zhiqiu, everyone finally collapsed.
"Mr. Ma, I have taken refuge in you a long time ago. I have always been loyal to you. Please quickly ask Butler Gu to get the poison out of my body. I swear that I will be loyal to you to the death in the future.
"Tian Zhengang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted. At a critical moment of life and death, he no longer cared about hiding his identity.
"Tian Zhengang, you traitor!"
"You will not die well!"
"You're a fucking lapdog!"
"Tian Zhengang, I thought you were unreliable a long time ago, and I was right."
…
Ding Xiong and others scolded Tian Zhengang together.
Tian Zhengang ignored Ding Xiong and others, but kept expressing his loyalty to Ma Xiaoyao. He only had one thought now, and that was to survive. As long as he could survive, he could do anything.
"Lao Gu, let Tian Zhengang relax first, I have something to do for him." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand towards Gu Zhiqiu.
Gu Zhiqiu walked to Tian Zhengang and stuffed half of the pill into Tian Zhengang's mouth: "This is half of the antidote, which can suppress the poisonous bugs for an hour. If you can't take the other half of the antidote within an hour, you
It will turn into a mummy."
After taking the antidote, Tian Zhengang immediately felt that he had regained his strength, and the boredom in his chest was relieved a lot. He hurriedly got up from the ground and bowed to Ma Xiaoyao: "I swear to be loyal to you to the death! Please give me your orders, no matter what.
Going up to the mountain of knives or going down to the sea of fire, no matter how low your position is, you won’t even frown!”
"You step aside and wait for a while." Ma Xiaoyao waved to Tian Zhengang. Tian Zhengang immediately stepped aside obediently, with his hands on both sides of his body and his chest straight. Ma Xiaoyao turned his head and glanced at Ding Xiong and others:
"Tian Zhengang has already taken refuge in me. I will definitely use him again in the future. What about you? Who else among you is willing to take refuge in me?"
"Go ahead and dream, I won't bow to you even if I die!" Ding Xiong cursed loudly.
"I won't bow my head either!" Wu Haibiao shouted immediately.
"I...I am willing to take refuge with you, sir..." Liu Zihao said tremblingly.
"I am also willing to take refuge with you, sir!" Tieshanhai lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of Ding Xiong and others.
"I would also like to..."
"...I am willing..."
…
In the blink of an eye, four people expressed their willingness to defect to Ma Xiaoyao, and their defection attracted abuse from Ding Xiong and others.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes! You are still sober, Lao Gu, let them get up!"
Gu Zhiqiu walked over and stuffed half an antidote into everyone's mouth. The four people stood up immediately. Including Tian Zhengang, there were a total of five people willing to follow Ma Xiaoyao. Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Five...
No more, no less, pretty much what I guessed..." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao's tone suddenly turned cold: "Go, kill Ding Xiong and the others!"
"Ah?" Tian Zhengang and others were all stunned.
"What? Didn't you hear what I said?" Ma Xiaoyao glared: "Kill them and I will give you the antidote!"
