Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

At this time, Cui Wu's followers seemed to have just come to their senses. They rushed to the toilet and shouted, "Master, don't drink the feces anymore. Doctor Hu checked it and found that the wine is not poisonous at all. Chief Cui had a stroke!"

"what?"

"Not poisonous?"

Cui Wu and Zhang Mingyuan, who were holding porcelain bowls and drinking sewage while vomiting violently, were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Cui Wu stuck his head out of the toilet and looked into the main room. Sure enough, he saw Li Zhen and Doctor Hu eating and drinking there. He was immediately furious!

"Clap!"

The porcelain bowl was thrown aside fiercely.

Cui Wu rushed out of the toilet with a strong stench and a pale face, and yelled at his followers: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have drunk this disgusting feces!"

"I...I just found out about this too!"

With a thud, the follower fell to his knees in fear, his body shaking like a sieve.

Cui Wu stepped forward and kicked the follower to the ground, looking at him viciously.

The attendant looked innocent, glanced at Zhang Mingyuan beside him, and muttered: "It wasn't me who asked you to drink, Master. You can't treat me like this, Master?"

"Ok?"

Cui Wu turned his head with an unfriendly look and stared at Zhang Mingyuan in front of him.

"what?"

Zhang Mingyuan's eyelids jumped with fear, and he explained hurriedly: "I am also trying to save you! Look, didn't I drink with you? Would I harm myself? If you want to blame someone, blame that idiot Li Zhen, he brought all the drinks..."

"Get the fuck out of here!"

"boom!"

Cui Wu punched Zhang Mingyuan hard in the eye socket, and then said to Cui Ming and Cui Zhe beside him: "Beat him hard for me, I don't want to see this man again!"

"Just listen to my cousin!"

Cui Ming and Cui Zhe had also drunk a lot of feces water just now, and were now full of anger with nowhere to vent. When they heard Cui Wu's words, they immediately started punching and kicking Zhang Mingyuan.

"what!"

"Someone was beaten to death!"

"My son, save your father!"

Zhang Mingyuan screamed miserably. When the Zhang family members nearby saw what was happening, they rushed forward and held Cui Ming and Cui Zhe, saving the dying Zhang Mingyuan.

Cui Wu stared at Li Zhen with red eyes and shouted: "Li Zhen, you deserve to die too. Today I will not only take your sisters, but also your life!"

Li Zhen put down his wine glass slowly and sneered, "Master Cui, before you continue talking, could you please wipe the feces off your mouth?"

After hearing what Li Zhen said, Cui Wu fell to the ground again and started vomiting wildly.

When the onlookers saw this, they all said with disdain, "Who would have thought that the prefect Cui Hu would give birth to a son who drinks manure water? This really brings shame to the Cui family of Qinghe!"

"That's right, that's right! It's so embarrassing!"

"..."

After hearing the ridicule from the people around him, Cui Wu felt so ashamed and angry that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth, looked at everyone with red eyes, and roared: "Shut up! If anyone dares to tell others about what happened today, I, Cui Wu, will make sure he dies miserably. The fate of this idiot Li Zhen and his family is an example to others!"

Seeing Cui Wu's murderous look, Li Shutong, the magistrate of Chang'an County who was invited by Li Zhen, knew that he could no longer watch the show, so he separated the crowd and walked into the venue with his men.

But before he could open his mouth to speak, Cui Wu shouted at him, "You damned yamen runners, why did you come only now? Quickly arrest that damned idiot Li Zhen and beat him up. If he dies, it's my fault!"

"Why do you want to arrest Master Li Zhen?"

Li Shutong frowned, Cui Wu's arrogance irritated him.

"He...he poisoned people. Are you blind?"

"Also, you are a dog official, why are you talking so much nonsense? I am Cui Wu, the third son of Cui Hu, the prefect of Chang'an. If anything goes wrong, my father will take care of it. If I ask you to arrest someone, just arrest him!"

Cui Wu pulled off his collar and frantically wiped the corners of his mouth while staring coldly at Li Shutong.

On the other side, Zhang Mingyuan, who was beaten black and blue, saw the government officials coming and thought they were sent by the Cui family. He immediately stood up and said in a bully-like manner: "Just arrest him when I tell you to. Can Third Master Cui still wrongly accuse this idiot Li Zhen? We can all testify for him. It was he who poisoned the local governor Cui Geng!"

"Yes! We can all testify!"

Cui Wu, the attendant beside him, and Cui Ming and Cui Zhe shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Li Shutong sneered and said, "Since you all believe that Cui Geng was poisoned, then I will act according to the law!"

After saying that, he directly ordered: "Come here, capture him for me!"

The onlookers were shocked, and Li Jianing, Li Xia and others were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats.

"promise!"

Several bailiffs came out in response.

"No, sir, my brother is innocent!"

"I am a doctor, and I can testify that this wine is not poisonous!"

"Sir, Li Zhen did not poison them. We are willing to testify for him!"

Wang Qingshan and others also spoke up to testify for Li Zhen.

But Granny Li and the others sneered, "Even if there is no poison in the wine and meat, couldn't Li Zhen poison it somewhere else?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Captain Cui was a good man, but after drinking a few glasses of wine with Li Zhen, he started foaming at the mouth and couldn't speak. If you say there is no trick, I won't believe it even if you kill me!"

Li Youcai bore a grudge against Li Zhen for intending to seize his property, and immediately added insult to injury.

"Nonsense, there are so many eyes watching us. When did Brother Zhen'er poison us? Village Chief Cui clearly had a stroke!"

Xiaohu jumped out to defend himself.

"That makes sense. If my Zhen'er did something, it's impossible for only Village Chief Cui to get into trouble. Don't make up stories like that!"

Li Ru, who is usually taciturn, also stood up and looked at Li Youcai and others with great anger.

During their argument, Zhang Mingyuan jumped out again, looked at Li Zhen with great pride and laughed, "Fool Li Zhen, even if you can come up with 500 taels of silver this time, you are dead this time, haha!"

"Don't be too happy too soon, or you'll shoot yourself in the foot!"

Li Zhen had a mocking look on his face.

"Humph! You're still stubborn even when you're about to die! Huh?"

"What's wrong with you? Let me go! You've caught the wrong person! The one you're trying to catch is not me, but that idiot Li Zhen!"

Zhang Mingyuan was feeling proud when he suddenly shouted.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Cui Wu was stunned when he saw that the yamen runners did not arrest Li Zhen but instead arrested Zhang Mingyuan.

Then he roared: "You damned ones, you arrested the wrong person. I want you to arrest Li Zhen, not old man Zhang! Can't you hear what I said?"

"Did you catch the wrong person?"

Uncle Li sneered and glanced majestically at Zhang Mingyuan, Cui Ming and Cui Zhe.

"I was present the entire time and did not see Master Li Zhen poisoning the person, but the three of you insisted that Cui Geng was poisoned. I think you must know some secrets that ordinary people don't know."

"Tell me, who ordered you to poison Chief Cui?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several yamen runners rushed forward and tied up Cui Ming and Cui Zhe.

"Ah! You? You dare to kidnap even the people from my Cui family? Are you rebelling?"

Cui Ming and Cui Zhe panicked immediately and looked at Cui Wu for help, "Uncle, please save me!"

"Don't panic, your uncle is here, they can't do anything to you!"

Cui Wu waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
