Qiancheng Kingdom spent more than one million silver a year to hire a group of losers from Tunu Kingdom.
The reason why these wastes were hired was because they were coerced by force from the Tunu Kingdom.
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help but laugh: "Your Qiancheng Kingdom is known as the second in the world in terms of combat power, but you can still suffer such a loss?"
Hong Zuchang sneered and said: "This is the great wisdom of a great country. Our country of thousands of chariots is never afraid of war, but it is never warlike."
It turned out to be out of love for peace.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Let's talk about why your god-lord let the foreign camp rob our fleet just to humiliate us?"
Hong Zuchang said: "These are all orders from the Lord God. I don't know what his intentions are."
Hearing the word Shenjun repeatedly, Xia Hu was very curious: "Which Shenjun are you talking about? Is it the Four Holy Gods?"
Hong Zuchang remained silent, and Xu Zhiqiong said: "The divine king they call is the emperor of their Yelang Kingdom."
Xia Hu's eyes widened and he said, "An emperor dares to say that he is a god?"
Hong Zuchang said: "The theory of gods and ghosts is simply a false belief spread by the world. There are neither ghosts nor gods in this world. I am a thousand-horse god king who is so heroic and powerful that it is not an exaggeration to call him a god."
Xia Hu was stunned for a long time and asked: "You said there are no gods in the world, so that's it. You also say there are no ghosts in the world?"
Hong Zuchang sneered: "Is it possible that you have seen ghosts?"
"What do you think you are?"
Hong Zuchang said with an indifferent expression: "You can humiliate me as long as I don't care about you."
Xia Hu didn't know what to say.
This guy really didn't know he was dead.
Xu Zhiqiong was too lazy to explain to him and continued to ask: "If I listen to you and keep all the weapons, gold, silver and women on the boat, will you really let those slaves let us go?"
"That's natural. I keep my word."
"Don't lie," Xu Zhiqiong said solemnly, "I have interrogated those slaves."
Hong Zuchang hesitated for a moment and said: "If we can leave some more things, we can still keep everything safe."
"What else is left behind?"
"Those sailors cannot be taken away. They must stay on the ship first. When you are waiting for your return, you can go back to Xuanguo with them."
"Besides the sailors?"
"There are also the Wuwei Army, the Onmyoji, and the Lantern Man."
"anything else?"
"Marquis Yun, you can't leave the warship either."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "In the final analysis, I just want the princess to go to your Qiancheng Kingdom alone."
"This is the will of God."
Xu Zhiqiong had already guessed this result. As long as Xuanren put down his weapons, he would have to wait for Tunu to slaughter him wantonly.
But what is the purpose of Qian Chengguo's doing this? It's not just for the little arms and gold and silver.
"You asked Princess Yuyao to go to Yelang Kingdom alone just to humiliate her?"
Hong Zuchang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "We have absolutely no intention of doing this. The Lord God has ordered that Princess Yuyao should be treated with the courtesy of a monarch when she comes to Qiancheng territory."
"How dare you lie to me!" Xu Zhiqiong picked up Hong Zuchang and was about to throw him into the oil pan. Hong Zuchang shouted loudly, "Everything I said is true. My god, the king, planned to treat me with courtesy. If you hurt me,
, but it hurts the harmony between the two countries! But it asks me how the Lord God can treat Princess Yuyao well!"
Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "If you want to treat each other with courtesy, why do you want to rob my Daxuan fleet?"
"This, this is the will of God."
Xu Zhiqiong threw Hong Zuchang into the oil pan, and while the oil was rolling, Hong Zuchang screamed louder than ever.
"This is the method of grace and feeding, this is the method of grace and feeding!"
After hearing that Hong Zuchang changed his story, Xu Zhiqiong took a hook and fished him out.
"What do you mean by the method of feeding?"
Hong Zuchang remained silent.
Xia Hu asked from the side: "Is the "Raising Grace Ci" commonly used by Shengdao practitioners?"
Practitioners of Shengdao will pray to the True God of Suzaku using the "Feed for Feeding" when praying for the prosperity of the six animals.
But Xu Zhiqiong felt that what Hong Zuchang said should not be prayers. They did not believe in the existence of a true God, so how could there be any prayers.
And this matter has nothing to do with the six animals.
Xia Hu asked: "Is this kind of feeding method of yours used to raise livestock?"
Hong Zuchang didn't speak again, so Xu Zhiqiong raised the hook and wanted to throw him into the frying pan.
Hong Zuchang shouted: "It's not about raising animals, it's about controlling people."
"Controlling people?" Xia Hu was puzzled.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Please tell me carefully."
Hong Zuchang said: "Promise the people eight percent of the profit, encourage them with words, torture them, pay equal attention to rewards and punishments, make them forget the pain of hard work, fight for ten percent of the profit, take away all the tenths, and return one share, the people will
I can’t thank you enough.”
The words were a bit convoluted, but Xu Zhiqiong quickly understood the meaning.
Draw a pie and say that this pie can bring eight points of benefits.
Use words to motivate and torture to punish, forcing people to work hard in exchange for great benefits.
Then take away all these ten benefits and give one point back to people.
Then people will be extremely grateful to God.
In Qiancheng Kingdom, this is a way to control people.
"What a shame!" Xia Hu spat.
Hong Zuchang said: "This is great wisdom for governing a country. If you don't have enough vision, you will naturally not understand it. Only when you know the bitterness can you know the sweetness, and only when you know the sweetness can you know the kindness. If the princess is not allowed to suffer, she will not know my Qiancheng kindness."
, if the people are not allowed to suffer, they will not know the kindness of the Lord God."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "But there shouldn't be so much suffering in the world."
Hong Zuchang said: "If there is no suffering, then I will find a way to find some suffering for them. There is a divine king above and a group of ministers below. How much effort did the court spend on this? For the sake of the country, the country, and the country, the king and the ministers worked hard. Who can understand?
"
Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a moment, then pressed Hong Zuchang into the oil pan and fried it for a while.
Almost half-way through, he brought Hong Zuchang to the evil mirror stage and revealed his crimes one by one.
Seeing his numerous crimes, Xia Hu looked at Hong Zuchang's crimes again, shook his head repeatedly and said: "How come there are only seven inches? It shouldn't be only seven inches."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Because he did not do many things alone. It's strange, why can't he see other people's sins?"
Xia Hu used the Eye of Sin in front of the mirror and could not see other people's sins.
Hong Zuchang shouted loudly: "What magic tricks did you use? Do you want to frame me? I have never done any of these things! I am not afraid of your magic tricks. I have a clear conscience..."
Xu Zhiqiong stuffed Hong Zuchang into the sin karma, wrote a deed, and handed the sin karma to Xia Hu.
"This sinful karma is also given to you. You go to Baijiao and get a strict sentence, and then go to Nie Gui'an and get a strict sentence!"
Xia Hu took the crime and said: "Whether you agree or not, I will decide the Yelang Kingdom. I am the judge, and I can't forget my duty."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I promise you, but I must take Chang Decai and Yang Wu with me."
Xia Hu found Lao Chang and Yang Wu and talked about the matter. Yang Wu said to Xu Zhiqiong: "You should take a look at the pictures I gave you. If all seven pictures are smiling faces, it means everything is fine. If
If one of them cries, it means something is wrong.
If three of them cry, the matter is not too big. If four of them cry, they may not be able to cope with it. If five of them cry, it's a critical moment. If six of them cry, it's a matter of life and death. If seven of them cry, it's a matter of life and death. If seven of them cry, it's a critical moment.
, if you are late, you will have no choice but to collect the body."
Chang Decai spat: "Don't say those unlucky words. A waste like Hong Zuchang can become a first-class official. I don't think there are many capable people in Yelang Kingdom. Master, don't worry, the two of us can definitely protect my wife."
comprehensive."
…
After leaving Zhonglang Courtyard and returning to the flagship, Niu Yuxian escorted one of Hong Zuchang's attendants to Xu Zhiqiong.
"This man wanted to use the magic circle to send a letter, but before the letter was sent, I discovered it and caught him."
Xu Zhiqiong opened the letter and read it. The content of the letter was that Hong Zuchang had died and all seven warships in the foreign camp had been burned.
Xu Zhiqiong asked the attendant: "Who are you delivering the letter to?"
"To Dr. Hong's family."
"Which family member?"
"Doctor Hong's wife."
"Do you and your wife often write letters to each other? Are there any ulterior contacts between you?"
The attendant shook his head repeatedly and said: "Doctor Hong asked me. If anything happens to him, he must report the news to Madam."
"It's appropriate to tell Madam about Doctor Hong's news. Seven warships were burned down. Do you have to tell Madam about this kind of thing? Don't you know what a military spy is?"
The attendant knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The villain deserves to die. The villain does not understand the rules. The villain is willing to be punished."
"Are you willing to be punished?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said to Niu Yuxian, "Have you got any new equipment recently?"
Niu Yuxian nodded: "There are a few guys that I haven't tried yet."
"Then let's try it."
Niu Yuxian dragged the attendant down, and Xu Zhiqiong was cooking tea on the tea stove.
Just after drinking a cup of tea, Niu Yuxian brought the attendant back.
No injuries were seen on the attendant's body, but his voice was much weaker. He lay down in front of Xu Zhiqiong and said: "Master Marquis, I said, I said, this letter is not for the madam, but for the Lord God."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I guessed it. Please write another letter to the Lord God, saying that the matter has been done. The princess is alone and is heading to the Kingdom of Thousand Chariots."
The attendant shook his head and said: "I can't write this letter. Even if I write it, the Lord God won't believe it."
"Why is this?"
The attendant said: "The Lord God had an order when he left. As long as Doctor Hong is alive, Doctor Hong must write a letter to the Lord himself. Now that he is dead, it will be my turn."
Xu Zhiqiong asked Niu Yuxian to take his attendants to Hong Zuchang's cabin to look for things written by him.
Not long after, Niu Yuxian found an unfinished draft of a memorial. The memorial had no substantive content and was mostly filled with complimentary words.
But it can be seen that Hong Zuchang wrote very carefully. Almost every sentence in the draft was corrected, and he truly considered every word and every sentence.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Niu Yuxian and said, "This handwriting is not difficult to imitate."
"It's not difficult, one hour is enough," Niu Yuxian said, "I'm just worried that these attendants have other means to deliver messages to their divine monarch."
Xu Zhiqiong knew what Niu Yuxian meant.
"We are running out of food and supplies along the way. Don't you still have a lot of tools that you haven't tried yet? Give it a try."
