Three Kingdoms: Get the Overlord of Western Chu template at the beginning

Chapter 270

Xiang Kunlun glanced at Dianwei and the others: "What? Did you also find the book praising Liu Bei?"

The two nodded.

It seems that not only Dian Wei encountered them, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also met people selling such books when they went out to buy books.

This also shows that the spread of such books is already very wide.

Zhang Fei couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted loudly: "These people distort the facts and turn black and white, it's really unreasonable!"

Zhuge Liang went out to investigate and came back, saying that they had caught several people who were selling such books.

Everyone was so angry that they called these people nonsense and asked Xiang Kunlun to behead them all.

To be honest, Xiang Kunlun was also very angry this time, but he was still able to maintain a semblance of reason.

"Kong Ming, what age group are those people arrested?"

"It's all men, or are there men, women, and children?"

This time, even Zhuge Liang didn't understand what Xiang Kunlun was thinking.

He didn't expect Xiang Kunlun to ask such a question. After being stunned for two seconds, he replied, "My Majesty, there are men and women. There are old men and there are younger ones. The younger ones are about 30 years old, the old ones." It is estimated that it is 70 to [-] years old."

Xiang Kunlun confirmed his guess and fell into deep thought.

If it is said that this group of book sellers are all traitors, it is unreasonable to let an old man stand up.

What's more, there are some young women.

In this era, women still don't participate in political affairs very much. How could they have the courage to do such a mindless thing?

Thinking of this, Xiang Kunlun stood up abruptly.

"Kong Ming, follow me to the prison."

The others were anxious to death, and wanted to say something, but Zhuge Liang stopped them with a look.

He knew that the emperor said so, which meant that something had been discovered and he had to investigate clearly.

The two went outside the prison one after the other to meet those who had been arrested.

"Do you know what is in this book?"

These people have been frightened for a long time, and they kept crying and didn't speak.

The jailer shouted: "Presumptuous, how dare you not answer the emperor's question?"

These women were even more frightened. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. They didn't mean not to answer, but they were so scared that they really lost their voices and couldn't say a word.

The old man Dian Wei met knelt down tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"

He kept yelling for mercy, and kept kowtowing as he yelled.

Xiang Kunlun is also a little bit above.

He is very good at playing psychological tactics with those rebels, but these people look like ordinary people, they definitely did not do it intentionally, and they were probably deceived.

He really didn't think it was necessary to intimidate these common people.

Thinking of this, Xiang Kunlun turned around and left without saying a word.

Zhuge Liang didn't quite agree with Xiang Kunlun's approach this time, he boldly stepped forward two steps and blocked Xiang Kunlun's way.

"Your Majesty, Kong Ming thinks this matter is not a trivial matter, and should be investigated clearly."

Seeing that Xiang Kunlun was unmoved, Zhuge Liang continued to persuade: "After all, it is related to national affairs, and it is also related to the image of the emperor in the hearts of the people."

Xiang Kunlun looked at Zhuge Liang helplessly, and thought, when did you pay so much attention to your image?

How many things he has done to benefit the people, and the people are like a mirror in their hearts, how could it be possible to overturn all the things he did before because of this book.

Zhuge Liang seemed to see what he was thinking, and shook his head slightly.

"Has your Majesty ever heard of such a saying? A bad person can immediately become a Buddha if he puts down his butcher knife. A good person will be damned and cast aside by everyone if he only does one wrong thing."

Xiang Kunlun looked at Zhuge Liang in amazement, shouldn't this sentence only come from modern times?

Zhuge Liang's thinking was really advanced.

"Kong Ming, there is some truth in what you said. But I can already see that these people are just being used as pawns. They are definitely not the real mastermind behind the scenes."

"If that's the case, then you don't have to care so much, just let them go."

After speaking, Xiang Kunlun left.Zhuge Liang was also thinking about Xiang Kunlun. After much deliberation, he decided to have a final questioning before releasing him.

After wasting such a little time, those people in the prison calmed down a little.

And Zhuge Liang came here by himself, he didn't have Xiang Kunlun's very oppressive aura, so when everyone saw him, they were more or less less nervous.

The old man's hands were trembling all the time, looking at Zhuge Liang, he said cautiously: "Master, we really don't know what's going on with this matter, it has nothing to do with us."

Zhuge Liang winked at the cell boss and told him to take the men out first.

The prison boss was not at ease. Zhuge Liang didn't know martial arts. Wouldn't it be unsafe to leave him here alone?

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "You are just outside, I will call you again if something happens."

After the head of the prison led the people away, the prison became much quieter.

Zhuge Liang sat down slowly, looking down at his lupine, with a calm tone.

"It's okay to let you go, but the premise is that you must tell everything you know. If you dare to lie, you will be killed immediately."

The old man's hands trembled even more. Finally, a young man came over and stammered what happened. It turned out that not long ago, a masked man found him.

Without further ado, I gave him a large sum of money first.

Seeing that Qian's eyes were wide open, the young man knew that he must be asked to do something.

But the temptation of money was too great, and he couldn't resist it.

"What do you want me to do?"

The masked man was very satisfied with his journey, and took out the book he had prepared long ago.

"No need to do anything. You just need to print more of this book, then find a place with fewer people, and sell all these books on the side of the road."

After saying that, in the blink of an eye, the masked man disappeared.

He scratched his head, and of course he also read the contents of the book. After reading it, he broke out in a cold sweat, regretting that he took the job.

Although there is a lot of money, it is not as important as life. He knows that if this matter is discovered, it will be the end of the traitor, and he will definitely be beheaded.

But the masked man disappeared so quickly, even if he wanted to return the money, he couldn't find him.
