Zhang Ren was still a little worried. He looked at Yuan Kai who was still struggling, and then said to the chamberlain: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll come as soon as I can. But is Yuan Kai crazy? It's good or bad. As soon as I leave, his mind will be back to normal, so please don’t take it seriously.”
The chamberlain nodded and said, "I don't mind, but please hurry up, Mr. Zhang Qi."
Zhang Ren let go of his hand, pushed Yuan Kai behind lightly and ran out as if he was flying.
Only Yuan Kai shouted angrily: "Zhang Ren! You and I are at odds with each other!"
Seeing Yuan Kai's eyes that looked like he could kill someone, the chamberlain couldn't help but take two steps back.
Yuan Kai breathed heavily for a while, and then asked directly to the chamberlain: "Why did Zhang Ren say that I was crazy? What did you mean by what you just said?"
Seeing that Yuan Kai's tone was much calmer, the chamberlain thought that his madness had passed, so he told the story of someone in the court impeaching Yuan Kai, and someone else excusing Yuan Kai.
At this point, Yuan Kai also understood that what Zhang Ren had just done was to help him. He exhaled a filthy breath, and his heart was extremely complicated.
When the chamberlain saw that Yuan Kai stopped talking, he quietly retreated to Yuan Kai's servants and asked softly: "Is your young master really crazy?"
The servant shook his head and said, "I haven't before. My young master has always been very kind. People say he is a modest gentleman. I don't know what that means. I just think that the young master treats people gently. But seeing what the young master did today, I also I think the young master is indeed crazy. It’s really scary for a scholar to go crazy and demand adults.”
The servant did not lower his voice deliberately, and Yuan Kai heard it clearly. He glanced at the servant angrily, but this look frightened both the servant and the chamberlain and took two steps back.
Yuan Kai is a gentleman. Although he knows that Zhang Ren and the people who defend him in the court are doing it for his own good, Yuan Kai is still unwilling to lie to others.
He straightened his clothes, bowed his hands solemnly to the chamberlain, and then said: "I would like to ask my father-in-law to give your majesty a message, saying that Yuan is not crazy. Even though Duke Xuan is no longer here, I I still feel that Duke Xuan does not deserve to die, and if His Majesty convicts him of the crime, I will accept it. Whether it is beating, punishment, or beheading, I will accept it."
Although the chamberlain has never seen madness, he has heard it from others. He heard that people with madness have good days and bad days. He is really not sure whether Yuan Kai is crazy or not. He can only look at Yuan Kai. He smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry, I'd better wait for Mr. Zhang Qi."
Yuan Kai wanted to say something more, but Zhang Ren came back at this time, with one hand behind his back and a malicious smile on his face.
Yuan Kai originally wanted to scold Zhang Ren, but thinking that what Zhang Ren had done before was all for himself, he didn't say anything else.
Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand from behind his back very mysteriously, and asked at the same time: "Do you think what I found?"
Yuan Kai, the chamberlain, and the servant were all a little curious. They straightened their necks and looked at Zhang Ren's hands.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you feel so sick that you almost vomited out last night's overnight meal.
I saw Zhang Ren holding a lump of sticky stuff in his hand, the color was slightly darker than yellow mud. The chamberlain and servants didn't care whether it smelled or not, and immediately covered their noses.
The chamberlain even said with disgust: "Mr. Zhang Qi, is this shit you are holding in your hand?"
Zhang Ren nodded seriously and said, "Yes, my father-in-law is right, what I hold in my hands is shit."
After receiving a positive answer, everyone moved further away from Zhang Ren. The chamberlain was quite puzzled and asked: "Mr. Zhang Qi, what are you doing with this piece of shit in your hand?"
Zhang Ren looked at Yuan Kai and replied, "It's just to see if Yuan Kai is crazy or not."
As he spoke, he smiled slyly and continued: "I heard that some crazy people like to eat shit, so why don't I find some for Yuan Kai to try!"
Yuan Kai was shocked, pointed at Zhang Ren, who kept shaking, and said: "How can you do this? How can you eat this shit?"
Zhang Ren blinked at Yuan Kai, and came to Yuan Kai in one swift step. Before Yuan Kai could react, he put a small piece of "shi" in his hand into Yuan Kai's chest.
In the mouth.
Yuan Kai stood blankly on the spot, and then instinctively spit out the "excrement" in his mouth, but his mouth was somewhat stained with smell. Strangely enough, Yuan Kai felt that there was no bad smell in his mouth. On the contrary, there was some smell in his mouth. Fragrant, but also a little sweet.
Yuan Kai realized now that what Zhang Ren gave him was definitely not shit. He pointed at Zhang Ren's hand and asked, "Zhang Ren, what did you give me to eat?"
Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about what it is, just tell me how it tastes, right?"
Yuan Kai smacked his lips and said, "It smells good, and it's a little sweet."
As he spoke, he took another piece from Zhang Ren's hand and tasted it. Yuan Kai was not the son of a wealthy family. His family could only be considered a small fortune, but studying in this era cost a lot of money, so he Although the family has some assets, life has been very tight since childhood.
Yuan Kai doesn't have much preference for food. He only thinks that food can fill his stomach. This is probably because he has never eaten anything good.
At this moment, Yuan Kai only felt that the food in his mouth was getting more and more delicious, and he couldn't help but take the last piece from Zhang Ren's hand and put it into his mouth.
Seeing Yuan Kai's somewhat intoxicated expression, the waiter felt his stomach churning violently, and finally couldn't help but vomit it out.
Even after vomiting all the contents in his stomach, the waiter was still retching. He didn't want to stay with Yuan Kai for a moment, so he could only pull Zhang Ren and said: "Mr. Zhang Qi, this Yuan Kai is absolutely crazy. , let’s go quickly, let’s go quickly!”
At this moment, Yuan Kai also finished eating what was in his mouth. He bowed solemnly to Zhang Ren and said, "I know you have good intentions, and this food tastes really good, but I would rather be beheaded by your majesty than be a false person." Sir, Zhang Ren, please go back and tell His Majesty that Yuan Kai is not crazy!"
The chamberlain was about to collapse at this moment. He didn't care much, took Zhang Ren and ran out.
Yuan Kai shouted from behind: "Yuan is not crazy! Remember to tell His Majesty that Yuan is not crazy!"
Seeing the chamberlain and Zhang Ren disappear like this, Yuan Kai shook his head and sighed before returning to the house. However, when he passed by the servant, the worshipful look in his eyes was gone, and all that was left was that he looked at him like a madman. look.
The chamberlain pulled Zhang Ren and ran away before he stopped. He panted and looked back to make sure he was far enough away from Yuan Kai's house before he felt relieved.
And Zhang Ren was not idle either. He got a piece of cloth from somewhere, and picked up some dog poop on the road and put it in the cloth. He was definitely not good at using cloth this time. Then he walked back to the chamberlain. The chamberlain was somewhat puzzled and asked with a vigilant look on his face: "What are you doing, Mr. Zhang Qi, picking up dog poop?"
Zhang Ren smiled and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, these are not for you to eat. I will use them later."
Zhang Ren returned to the palace with his chamberlain, probably because there were a lot of things going on today and the morning court meeting was not over yet.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers in the palace watched Zhang Ren and the chamberlain enter the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly: "How is it? Is Yuan Kai crazy?"
But the chamberlain looked frightened and said: "Your Majesty, I can testify that Yuan Kai is absolutely crazy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great interest: "Oh? Tell me how you made the decision?"
The servant replied: "The old slave followed Mr. Zhang Qi to Yuan Kai's home. Yuan Kai had no etiquette at all. First he spoke rudely to Mr. Zhang Qi, and then he moved his hands towards Mr. Zhang like he was out of his mind. A good scholar dares to do anything wantonly, isn't this crazy?"
In the main hall, a court official came out and said, "Your Majesty, this father-in-law must have been deceived, and Yuan Kai is most likely faking it."
The waiter shook his head and continued with an ugly face: "If you dare to vouch for this, Yuan Kai is absolutely crazy. Not only did he move his hands, but he also ate a lot of shit, and he kept saying "It tastes good" It’s sweet, how can a normal person eat shit? He is definitely crazy!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chamberlain, as if to tell the truth from his face, and asked: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The chamberlain nodded and said, "I saw it with my own eyes."
With that said, the waiter couldn't bear it anymore and vomited out again in disgust. However, because he had vomited too much before, all he could vomit now was only gastric juice.
