"We are coming from the palace gate!"
The heads of the house responded in a flurry: "We came from home in the morning!"
"Coming from the Zhou family!"
"Coming from the Liu family!"
King Huangzhou... What about asking this question to a child?
Are you insulting their intelligence?
Do they still not know where they come from?
For a moment, the whole cell became noisy. Really, who are you looking down on?
wrong!
The money and food provided by his family must have played a role. The king of Huangzhou wanted to find a way out before he asked such a simple and insulting question.
King of Huangzhou, I will let you be arrogant for a while longer!
Very good!
Finally I can go back!
The heads of the families folded their arms in the cold wind, shivering, but their eyes were full of yearning for freedom!
No!
It is the yearning for cotton-padded clothes, chicken legs, fine wine, warm stoves, and beautiful women!
finally.
Each family head gave an answer.
Then, they stared at Xia Tian closely, wishing they could spit out two words from the mouth full of white teeth - send back!
"Huhuhu..."
The wind blew in through the door and could be clearly heard in the quiet prison!
finally.
"Why......"
After Xia Tian was silent for a moment, he sighed quietly: "Wrong!"
"None of the answers are correct."
"impossible!"
The family heads looked disappointed and dissatisfied: "With so many answers, there is always the right one, right?"
"yes!"
"Your Excellency, are you kidding us?"
"of course not!"
Xia Tian's face became solemn: "Family heads, the truth is that I never joke in such a situation!"
"Let me tell you a serious story. Once upon a time, there was a man who was joking about his true identity. Guess what?"
How could the family heads be in the mood to guess: "Can't guess?"
"Just die!"
Xia Tian said it extremely seriously!
This story is very cold!
At the same time, it’s also very effective!
In an instant, the noise in the prison disappeared, and the temperature in the prison dropped sharply!
The heads of the families looked at the middle of the cell, at the young man covered in blood, and thinking about his hobby of beheading people to watch in the capital, the coldness in their hearts surged again, and their whole bodies were chilled. They did not dare to make any more noise!
Silence once again became the melody in the Imperial City Prison!
finally.
The head of the Zhou family couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, what is the answer?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "You can't say it! You can't say it! You need to realize it on your own!"
The heads of the families: "......"
This again?
Will you die if you tell me the answer?
The head of the Zhou family just wanted to beat his chest with both hands and shout to the sky: "King of Huangzhou, can we still have a good communication?"
But, he didn't dare to yell!
He murmured with a look of constipation on his face: "Isn't the money and food provided by the family enough?"
definitely is!
For a moment, he felt like he had an epiphany!
"Your Excellency, I just felt that the money donated by my family to the refugees was too small, and it was not enough to express the feelings of my Zhou family. Therefore, I am now willing to donate twice as much to show my sincerity and the Zhou family's sincerity! "
Suddenly, the eyes of all the family heads brightened up, as if they had found the crux of the problem!
"right!"
All the family heads said one after another: "We will write the second letter immediately!"
Awesome!
Eunuch Wei, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, and the jailer of the Imperial City Department looked at Xia Tian with admiration!
high!
It’s really high!
He is worthy of being the wise and holy king of Huangzhou!
With just one question, all the masters were asked to voluntarily donate twice as much money and food to the refugees in the imperial capital. This method is really amazing!
If you think about it carefully, from beginning to end, the King of Huangzhou never mentioned a word about donation, but the results he got were all donations of money and food!
Who can do it?
Of course, who would dare to offend the powerful family heads of the Great Xia Empire?
He has to be the king of Huangzhou!
However, Xia Tian still shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this!"
He said very seriously: "Your money and food are not brought by the strong wind. Each family has an old one and a young one. There are many beauties in the middle and backyard. It is not easy to feed so many people."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the family heads turned red!
The King of Huangzhou finally speaks human language!
He also knows that it is not easy for them to be the head of the family!
For no reason, the family heads felt a sense of gratitude in their hearts!
"The right Prime Minister is wise!"
The head of the Zhou family said with deep emotion: "It's not easy!"
"We usually look rich and majestic, but it's really not easy!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "It's not easy for you!"
"You have collected so many little beauties in your backyard, whether they are fat or thin, enjoying all the beauties in the world. You have forced your local people to have their families destroyed, and you have taken their wealth to gather the beauties from all over the world, and play and sing every night. It is indeed unacceptable. easy!"
The heads of the families: "..."
Suddenly, Xia Tian thought of the hungry people on this land and the corpses of refugees on the streets of the imperial capital, and couldn't help but blush: "Isn't it true?"
The family heads didn’t dare to answer the call!
The temperature in the prison dropped by another three points!
After a while.
Xia Tiancai said: "Now, I will ask the second question...where are you going?"
The family heads blinked and did not dare to answer randomly!
If you really want to answer, it is... go home!
at last.
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "The third question, who are you?"
The order of the three questions of the soul was originally...Who am I?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
These three questions contain endless philosophy and can cause people to ponder endlessly about themselves!
However, Xia Tian reversed the order: "Family heads, if you can figure out the third question...who are you?"
"Maybe you can figure out the answers to the first and second questions!"
The family heads frowned and did not answer rashly.
These three questions of King Huangzhou seem simple, but they are certainly not simple!
They swear by the beautiful concubine in the backyard!
If it were simple, their concubine would steal someone!
When I think of my concubine, I think of my warm bed, my soft body, and the joy of being on the bed!
I really don’t want to stay here any longer!
suddenly.
The head of the Zhou family risked his life!
He said loudly: "Your Excellency, I am stupid. Now I realize that the answer is in my heart, but I can't express it!"
"But I know... Your Prime Minister pities the common people and the refugees of the empire. I am willing to contribute three times more money and food to the national treasury. Please forgive Zhou's recklessness today. Please forgive Zhou this time!"
As soon as Patriarch Zhou said this, the eyes of all the Patriarchs brightened up again, listening to Xia Tian's answer!
"good!"
Xia Tian looked at the Zhou family head and praised: "Very good!"
"You can understand the answer and be moved by the truth!"
"Judging from your actions, you really figured out the answer to the question, but you just couldn't express it!"
The head of the Zhou family’s eyes brightened: “Yes! Yes! Yes! Zhou has already realized the answer in his heart and can’t say it out loud!”
"really not bad!"
Xia Tian's face was full of joy: "Come here, help the Zhou family leader out of the prison, put some clothes on him, don't freeze the Zhou family leader!"
"You are serious too. Just arrest people. Why take off their clothes?"
The heads of the families: "..."
"Also, bring in a roasted chicken. The head of the Zhou family is probably starving, so he needs to fill his stomach first!"
"That's true of you, why don't you give the Zhou family master a roast chicken?"
The family heads were speechless again: "..."
"yes!"
The vicious jailer changed his face, and with a smile on his face, he helped Master Zhou out of the cell, and carefully put on his clothes: "Master Zhou, it's all our fault for taking off our clothes indiscriminately, and you got cold!"
"It's all our fault!"
With the clothes on his upper body, the head of the Zhou family felt the warmth, his eyes turned red, and he sighed: "It feels so cold without clothes!"
Xia Tian said seriously: "Then you will remember this feeling for the rest of your life!"
"Then, you go look at the homeless people who have no clothes to wear... and see if they are cold!"
Head Zhou's eyes lit up: "I obey your order!"
Immediately afterwards, the roast chicken is served!
The head of the Zhou family has no aristocratic demeanor at all. He hugged the whole roast chicken and ate it wildly, which made all the heads of the family go crazy with envy: "I don't want to be hungry anymore, and I don't want to feel the feeling of being so hungry that I am weak!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Then remember this feeling, and then think about how pitiful the refugees are when they have nothing to eat."
suddenly.
Master Zhou really realized it!
He raised his head with the remains of the roast chicken in his hand and said seriously: "Right Prime Minister, what you want us to understand is...conscience?"
"Do you want us to feel the suffering of the refugees, let us know how difficult it is for them to survive, so that we can lend a helping hand?"
"Hahaha......"
Xia Tian stood up and said happily: "It's a conscience!"
"People must have a conscience!"
"Now that I really understand the answer!"
"Let's go back!"
With the support of the jailer, the head of the Zhou family wrote down the amount of money and food donated to the treasury, bowed to all the family heads, and then walked away before asking again: "What about the answers to the three questions after the right minister?"
Xia Tian said meaningfully: "Go back and continue enlightenment!"
"yes!"
The head of the Zhou family is gone!
Is this okay?
"Your Excellency, we are willing to donate three times more to the national treasury!"
Immediately, in the Imperial City Prison, all the family heads enthusiastically donated money and food to the national treasury: "The right prime minister is right, a person must have a conscience, and a person must have a conscience!"
Xia Tian looked touched: "As expected, the family heads are the pillars of the imperial capital!"
"As expected, it's your job to support the truth!"
"Somebody come!"
"Let all the family heads write a statement... voluntarily donating to the national treasury and press their fingerprints!"
"The truth must be reported to the imperial court to ask for credit for them!"
"Let the people of the empire know the truth about their generosity and feats!"
The heads of the families: "..."
Is King Huangzhou going to tie them to his pirate ship?
What on earth are you going to do?
