The storyteller slowly turned the crank, and soon a voice emerged from the gramophone.
The voice was very loud, like a bell: "Wang Jian, you old man, don't bully others too much."
Then there was another voice that was strong and strong: "Little beast, I will definitely beat you to death today for being such a rebel.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Obviously, the first voice should belong to Xiang Liang, and the second voice should belong to Wang Jian.
What's more important is that this is not an act, but it is really Wang Jian's voice.
The entire Banished Immortal Tower was silent, everyone was listening to the sound from the gramophone.
Some people are curious to know when the sound was recorded and under what circumstances it was recorded. But now was obviously not a good time to ask, so they all listened patiently.
I only heard Xiang Liang say: "Okay, okay, then we will fight to the death today. But if you have the ability, don't use helpers."
Wang Jian sneered: "Why can't we use helpers? They are from Qin, and it is natural to kill rebels."
The audience in the Banished Immortal Tower nodded, feeling that what Old General Wang said was correct. And they also heard that Wang Jian did have an unforgettable hatred for the rebels.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Jian's voice came from inside: "Gou San, attack his left wing. Lame Wu, attack his right wing. Han Niu, block his way from behind. I will face the enemy head on."
Then, three people responded.
The audience was a little puzzled: Gou San? Lame five? Silly cow? Is this the general's name? Why does it sound so weird? So vulgar?
The courtiers thought it was vulgar, but the servants in the Wang family thought it was a bit familiar: Dog San? I do know a guy named Gou San. Isn’t he a habitual thief? Lai Wu had also heard that not long ago, he peeped at a prostitute taking a bath in a female house, and was beaten and sent to the government. As for Han Niu, he is a heartless fool who will go wherever there is food to eat...
Wang's servants looked at each other: Why does the old general have such three people under his command? Is it the same name? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Just when everyone was wondering, the sound of beatings came from the gramophone.
From what everyone heard, it was just four people fighting, and there was no sound of thousands of troops at all.
Not only that, there were also sounds of pain coming from inside.
Xiang Liang: "Old man, you pulled my hair again."
Lame Five: "Old general, pick out his eyeballs. Use force to make him bleed."
Wang Jian: "Oh, you little beast, you are so mean, you dare to kick me in the crotch..."
Han Niu: "I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death."
Gou San: "You are such an idiot. What's the use of spanking him? Hit him on the head."
Hanniu: "Oh."
Xiang Liang: "Ah... kill me."
Finally, someone in the audience couldn't help it anymore. While the storyteller was changing the bamboo tube, he asked in a low voice: "Are they dueling in front of the formation? Why can't they hear the sound of soldiers and horses?"
The storyteller didn't answer, just hissed. Then another bamboo tube was replaced.
Then, the sound inside came again.
This time it turned into yelling.
Wang Jian: "I have been a hero all my life, but I didn't expect that I would end up like you, a fool. If you hadn't dragged me down, why would this have happened?"
Xiang Liang: "Old man, you are too stupid. You have the name of marshal, but you cannot control the three armies, which drags me down to defeat. If you hadn't repeatedly urged me to rebel, how could I have hurriedly started the rebellion and ultimately failed?"
Wang Jian and Xiang Liang were still trying to reason with each other at first, but then they became more and more angry and turned into insults.
Wang Jian: "You can't make plans with Shuzi."
Xiang Liang: "The old man has a false reputation."
Wang Jian: "How dare you, little beast, be unreasonable."
Xiang Liang: "The old thief is willing to be the eagle and dog of the people of Qin."
The two men's scoldings were quite civilized, but they had already made the dignitaries present feel uncomfortable.
As for Gou San and others, their scoldings were more vulgar.
Dog Three: "Xiang Liang, I am your ancestor."
Lame Five: "Xiang Liang, your mother is my wife..."
Han Niu: "Xiang Liang, I...I..."
Gou San enthusiastically helped him with the words: "You dig his ancestral grave."
Han Niu immediately learned: "Xiang Liang, I will dig your ancestral grave."
Xiang Liang was so angry that he roared: "Okay, we will fight to the death today."
Then, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was obviously Xiang Liang rushing over.
Wang Jian shouted in a panic: "Set up the formation, set up the formation quickly."
Then, the five people struggled together again.
The audience was stunned: Is this the rebel Xiang Liang who shocked the world? Is this the distinguished veteran Wang Jian? I didn't expect...they still have this side.
Suddenly, a voice came from the gramophone: "Stop fighting, stop fighting. No more lives will be taken. Come on, who put them in the same cell again? Separate, separate."
Then there was the sound of a lock being opened and the sound of shaking chains. The guards yelled and cursed...
The content of the gramophone ends here. The Banished Immortal Tower was completely silent, and many people were still immersed in the sound just now and had not recovered.
Finally, a wise man said: "This voice was recorded in prison?"
The storyteller smiled and nodded.
Someone else asked: "Those lame five dogs and three are some of the famous gangsters in Xianyang City?"
The storyteller smiled again and nodded.
Someone laughed bitterly: "So it's Wang Jian fighting Xiang Liang. But...it's really exciting, haha."
The storyteller smiled slightly: "The Exalted Immortal has sent someone to the death row. He will record a piece every day, take the essence and discard the dross, and make it available for everyone to listen to in the Exiled Immortal Tower. If you want to hear, please continue to come tomorrow. .”
The people present roared in response, obviously very interested in it.
Standing behind the counter, Cano and the proprietress looked at each other and said with emotion: "This move of banishing the immortal is really wonderful. Seeing that the business of the banished immortal building is going to grow even more."
Many people think this kind of thing is very new and novel. After all, Qin people have too few entertainment activities. They have never seen celebrities or heard gossip, and their entertainment threshold is still very low.
Li Shui just made a little recording, which satisfied all their thoughts about Wang Jian and Xiang Liang, and everyone found it extremely enjoyable.
But Zou Gou's courtiers and Wang's servants were all a little unhappy.
After all, Wang Jian was so unbearable in this recording that it was simply embarrassing. When he had an army of 100,000, he pretended to fight with Xiang Liang. Now that he was imprisoned in the cell, he started to be beaten for real, but it was like a monkey show.
Everyone couldn't eat anymore and left the table one after another to leave.
Zou Gou was full of worries and walked at the back. As a result, he was stopped by a guy.
Zou Gou stared and asked, "What's the matter?"
The guy said, "Master Zou hasn't paid yet."
Zou Gou looked at the courtiers not far away and said loudly: "Everyone, didn't you agree to invite me to the banquet?"
The courtiers all had mysterious smiles on their faces: "Yes, but what we invited was the last banquet. Mr. Zou won't forget it, right? We paid for it last time. This time, it's Mr. Zou's turn to pay for it. It’s a debt from last time.”
Zou Gou sighed: "I still underestimated the shamelessness of Xianyang people."
A mature and prudent courtier stroked his beard and thought with emotion: This shameless behavior is like a plague. It originated from the banished immortal, first it infected Zou Gou, and now it spread to so many courtiers...
Zou Gou didn't bring any money at all, so he could only write an IOU under the pressure of the waiter, and then walked out feeling aggrieved.
As a result, as soon as this group of people walked out, a group of officers and soldiers came. They couldn't help but put chains around the necks of the courtiers and Wang's servants.
Zou Gou became anxious and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you attack me? I am Zou Gou."
The officers and soldiers said calmly: "You are the ones who are being taken. Wang Jian has already confessed in prison. You are all his accomplices and have participated in the rebellion."
Zou Gou's group suddenly became anxious and yelled: "Fart, how can this happen?"
"This is clearly Wang Jian's nonsense."
"Wang Jian is an old man."
"This old thief is causing harm to the country and the people."
Unconsciously, they used all the curse words on the gramophone.
It is a long distance from the Exorcist Tower to Dalao. On the road here, the courtiers and servants were shouting and cursing, attracting countless people to watch.
These onlookers told others about what they saw and heard, adding exaggeration to the situation.
All of a sudden, people were talking about Wang Jian everywhere.
It has to be said that Wang Jian has now officially replaced Jufu and become the top traffic in Xianyang City.
Rebels have existed since ancient times, and Wang Jian is probably the only one who has been so embarrassed after the failure of the rebellion.
…………
The next day, Li Shui and others came again in Ying Zheng's study.
Ying Zheng smiled this time and seemed very happy: "Okay, the atmosphere in Xianyang City has changed drastically in one day."
Li Si said: "Today, no one sympathizes with Wang Jian on the street. The recording played by the banished immortal in the restaurant has been spread by word of mouth, and many people know about it. Now countless people think that Wang Jian is a clown-like figure. , he is not a highly respected God of War at all.”
Zhao Teng said: "It's not just that. There are many people gathered on the street now. There are the family members of the courtiers. They go around shouting injustice, saying that their own adults did not participate in the rebellion at all, and Wang Jian is talking nonsense."
"There are also some Qin soldiers who came back from Chu. They demand that Wang Jian be punished severely. Otherwise, they will be sorry for the death of Pao Ze."
"All in all, Wang Jian's reputation in Xianyang City is already terrible. Now even if His Majesty cuts him to pieces, the people will only applaud him and not think that His Majesty is cruel."
Ying Zhengzhi smiled proudly.
Killing the rebel was a relief. If the rebel thief can be ruined, that will be the real pleasure.
Chunyu Yue suddenly sighed: "I still can't understand why people's opinions changed in one day?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "Dr. Chunyu said all day long that those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Little do they know that the hearts of the people can also be manipulated."
"The common people in the world have limited knowledge and limited information. As long as you master the method, you can control their knowledge. Let them see what the court wants them to see, and let them hear what the court wants them to hear. "
Chunyu Yue was stunned.
Li Shui smiled again and said: "Of course, the premise is that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If the war continues and disasters occur, there will be no food. Even if ten thousand people are sent to the streets to shout that the court is honest and generous, the people will not believe it. of."
"This time I was able to successfully manipulate people's hearts. Firstly, Wang Jian's rebellion was a big mistake. Secondly, His Majesty has indeed won the hearts of the people."
Ying Zheng was even more satisfied.
Chunyu Yue, who was standing next to him, sighed: "Relegating an immortal is trying to deceive people's hearts. This is not what a gentleman would do."
Li Shui glared: "What is a gentleman and what is not a gentleman? Isn't anyone who does not conform to the doctor's philosophy not a gentleman?"
"Do you think I want to control the people's hearts? As everyone knows, if you don't control the people's hearts, someone else will. Yesterday, many people on the street sympathized with Wang Jian. Isn't it because someone with ulterior motives is secretly causing trouble?"
"What's more, I am trying my best this time to prepare for your majesty's elixir in the future. In the future, the right time, place and people will be favorable, and everyone will unite to wish your majesty to become an immortal. Only then can the elixir be refined."
Chunyu Yue was stunned when he heard this: "Is this related to alchemy again?"
Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Huai Guzi is a loyal minister. That is you. You are thinking about making elixirs for me every day."
Li Shui looked modest: "I have only one heart and soul that is loyal to Your Majesty."
Everyone present was a little speechless. You are an alchemist, isn't it your job to make alchemy? There's nothing to take credit for.
Li Shui smiled and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty waited for a while and then announced that in view of Wang Jian's outstanding achievements, he was specially ordered to hang himself. Then I recreated the previous wave of public opinion, and your Majesty was a sage, wise and benevolent king, and there was no one like him in the world. Objection."
Ying Zheng happily agreed.
Li Shui was also a little excited. To make the historical Qin Shihuang into a benevolent king... This is really a generous move of mine.
…………
Many people were imprisoned in the prison. There were servants from Wang Jian's family and courtiers who had been good friends with Wang Jian.
These people started yelling at Wang Jian from the moment they came in.
Wang Jian was puzzled: "When did I offend you?"
But the courtiers did not listen to his explanation at all. In addition to scolding Wang Jian every day, they said that they had not rebelled.
Wang Jian was even more surprised: "Who said you were rebelling?"
As a result, these people became even more angry after hearing this. It's okay for Wang Jian to bite others, but he still refuses to admit it.
In the end, Wang Jian was speechless. I was scolded by these people for three or two days, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. He had no choice but to vent all his anger on Xiang Liang.
In the next few days, Xiang Liang was beaten horribly.
However, Wang Jian and Xiang Liang also discovered something very strange. Whenever they fought, the courtiers and servants who were yelling at each other fell silent. The entire prison was silent, eerily quiet.
Wang Jian was very puzzled. He originally wanted to ask someone, but no one answered him, so he had to give up.
In fact, it is easy to understand the thoughts of those courtiers and servants. They knew that whenever Wang Jian fought, there would be jailers nearby secretly recording the fight. They don't want their voices to be recorded and then played publicly in the Exorcist Tower.
In that case...it would be really embarrassing.
