After Zi Shou finished his dinner, he looked at the three bright suns outside the house and smiled.
After a night of exposure to the sun.
The seawater was... It's almost dried out, right?
"After you finish eating, follow me to see the group of people that Yang Qing captured.”
Zi Shou smiled as he watched Long Ji put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Wen Zhong, Kong Xuan, and the others had all gone.
At this time in Great Shang, anyone with some status would only eat two meals a day.
Therefore, Wen Zhong, Kong Xuan, and Yang Jian interrogated those people first.
Zi Shou came to a house in the Yang Residence and saw Wen Zhong and the others surrounding a few people and asking questions.
His methods were extremely simple.
Zishou felt helpless.
How could he get anything out of it?
"Great King."
When everyone saw that Zi Shou had arrived, they all bowed in greeting.
"Did you find out anything?"
"Your Majesty, we are ashamed. We haven't found out who's behind this."
Yang Jian looked ashamed.
He felt so stupid.
He couldn't do anything!
"It's fine. I'll ask."
Zishou was speechless.
If you keep asking like this, how long will it take?
"Kill two people first. I don't like the number four.”
Zishou said expressionlessly.
The soldier at the side received the order and two heads fell to the ground with two slashes.
The two men's eyes twitched.
This Shang King…
As the rumors said, he did not play by the rules!
"Between the two of you, only one of you can live. Who says who can live?”
After Zi Shou finished speaking, he stopped talking.
He sat down and looked at the remaining two people coldly.
Inside the room.
The thick smell of blood ravaged their tense nerves.
No one was not afraid of death.
It was just not the right time yet.
"There's still half a minute!"
Zishou's cold voice was like a deadly sickle.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
One of them could not hold it in any longer. Cold sweat flowed down his forehead as he begged for mercy.
"Alright, you speak first. If you lie, you will die!”
Zi Shou's gaze was like lightning as he locked onto the person who spoke.
"We wait…They are all people that Xi Qi has secretly placed at the mouth of the Guanjiang River. They usually do some medical treatment and wait for Xi Qi's orders…"
" A few days ago, Xiqi's order arrived. It was personally given by Bo Yikao, the son of Marquis of the West. He ordered us to defame the king according to the situation at Guanjiang Mouth…"
"We also secretly killed a group of people to make it look more realistic.”
the man said.
"In that case, the innocent people who died from poisoning in the city were also your doing?”
Yang Jian couldn't hold it in anymore. The scar in the center of his forehead started to turn red.
"It was us who poisoned him…"
That person's voice gradually lowered.
When Zishou heard this, his expression darkened completely.
Xi Qi!
Xi Qi again!
We're both humans, so I can understand your desire to fight for hegemony. After all, no one is willing to submit to others.
However, even if you want to fight for hegemony, why do you always harm these innocent people?
"Grand Preceptor Wen, use celestial methods to record this person's words. After this matter is over, I want to see what Xi Qi has to say!”
Zi Shou said coldly.
"Your Majesty, I have a letter from Bo Yikao.”
The man hurriedly took out a roll of bamboo slips from his pocket and said.
Zishou gestured for Yang Jian to take it and said coldly,""Did you participate in this matter?"
"I... I…
"The poison was concocted by him!"
The person at the side hurriedly said.
The ugliness of human nature was vividly displayed at this moment.
"Tie him up and give the people an explanation tomorrow!”
After Zi Shou finished speaking coldly, he stood up and left the room.
The next morning.
Zishou led the soldiers to the big pit that had been dug outside the city. The big pit was guarded by the soldiers that Zishou had arranged. No one was allowed to approach!
Behind Zishou, there were a dense crowd of commoners, all of them looking at Zishou angrily.
I wonder what this Wudao King wants to do?
The big pit was filled with rain yesterday, but after a night of exposure to the sun, it had disappeared.
Under the sunlight, the crystalline salt grains reflected a faint light.
Zi Shou sent someone to fetch some salt from the big pit. He smiled and waved at one of the people behind him.
"Old man, come over and take a look at what this is.”
The old man who was called out under the blanket walked over without fear.
He was already so old, he was not afraid of a fatuous ruler!
"Old man, what do you think this is?"
Zi Shou picked up the salt and asked with a smile.
The old man took the salt, and his turbid eyes lit up. He hurriedly put the salt into his mouth, and it tasted bitter with a salty taste.
The old man's eyes widened!
"Yes... It's salt!"
The surrounding commoners were stunned when they heard this!
So much salt…
"Your Majesty is wise. I am ignorant and do not know your intentions. I insulted you for no reason. I deserve it. I am willing to die to prove your wisdom!”
The old man knelt down with a trembling voice as he spoke with some excitement.
They really deserved to die!
His Majesty was such a good person.
They actually insulted him for no reason!
"Your Majesty, you brought the rain down and made the salt pan. Your Majesty, you are virtuous!”
Wen Zhong shouted.
The commoners at the side also knelt down.
"Old sir, you're too serious. After all, my actions have damaged the crops in your fields. It's normal for you to complain…Don't do this!"
Zi Shou hurriedly helped the old man up and said in a gentle tone.
Although he had transmigrated, he still had some lingering thoughts from his previous life. He really couldn't bear to let an old man kneel down to him!
"Your Majesty, this commoner, this commoner is really…Damn it!"
When the old man thought about how they had scolded him so harshly, the regret in his heart was so strong that it was difficult to calm it down even if he poured all the water in the world.
"It's fine. If you want to explain in detail, I didn't tell everyone first. I'm also guilty.”
"You have forgiven me, and I have forgiven you. Everyone, don't blame yourself. Hurry up and collect the salt!”
Zi Shou said with a warm smile.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The surrounding commoners all shouted loudly and jumped into the big pit to collect the salt happily.
When Zishou saw this, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
Great Shang was extremely short of salt.
Although he couldn't eat too much sea salt, it was good enough to have it when he was extremely lacking.
It just so happened that the Celestial Thearch had caused such a thing. From time to time, he would rain at the mouth of the Guanjiang River for a few days.
Then, they all gathered here.
After making it into sea salt, he would discuss it with Wen Zhong and the other immortals in the future to study how to remove the harm of sea salt.
As for the commoners at Guanjiang Mouth.
After collecting the sea salt, they could also trade with the people in other places, which solved their urgent need!
