C251 Reversing Black and White

On the banquet stage, Xiao Wen mocked County Governor Dong Zhuo of Xiliang County in Longxi dialect. Zhang Cang and Lu Yuan, who didn't understand Long Xi dialect, were all very well off. However, the noble sons of the eastern clans who had come to attend the banquet had all been carefully selected. In order to avoid accidentally offending those Western aristocrats, they could at least understand Longxi's language.

Therefore, when they heard Xiao Wen ridicule Dong Zhuo in Longxi, their faces turned red. On the one hand, they wanted to laugh at Dong Zhuo's behavior of stealing chickens without eating rice. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo was still a noble. To them, it was an existence they could not afford to offend.

Therefore, they could only suppress their laughter with flushed faces. Other than the occasional sizzling sound that came from somewhere, the entire audience was silent for a moment.

Looking at the expressions of those people, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask the palace maid responsible for the translation of the words into female officials, "What was that man saying just now?"

"This …" Hearing Lu Yuan's question, the girl was in a difficult position.

After all, even though Xiao Wen dared to say those kinds of words, the palace maid didn't dare to voice them out loud.

As if he had seen through the worries of the palace maid, Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Just say it. If the other party isn't even able to take revenge on my behalf, how can they take revenge on my personal palace maid? "

Then, she paused and said to Dong Zhuo in a warning tone, "Master Dong Zhuo, if anything happens to my palace maid because she was talking about you and good deeds, don't blame me for being rude. If I have to deal with a Marquis, this princess will not have any problem at all. "

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's face, which was originally very dark, instantly turned into a black hole that absorbed light.

However, Lu Yuan was the Grand Princess after all, so he didn't dare to say anything.

After a long pause, he could only clasp his hands together, "I shall listen to the Grand Princess."

"Very good." Lu Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, tell me quickly what Lord Dong and Good Fortune said just now!"

Thus, under Lu Yuan's pressure, the palace maid told him everything that had just happened.

From how Dong Zhuo stole the lacquer ware from the merchants in the clouds to how Xiao Wen compared the porcelain from the east with the lacquer ware from the west cold, it showed that the lacquer ware was not something that was popular in the world. This palace maid spoke in full detail.

The crowd, including Xiao Wen and Dong Zhuo, also felt that the palace maid's words were quite objective. She didn't favor any side and directly turned the words she said to the big man into official language.

However, just as the palace maid finished speaking, Dong Zhuo immediately said, "Grand Princess, I was not trying to stop your palace maid from speaking. I just want you, your highness, to stand up for this old official. "

"Make the decision for you?" Hearing that, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a unclear tone.

However, Xiao Wen, who was extremely close to Lu Yuan, felt a trace of ridicule from Lu Yuan.

He looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled expression.

The Grand Princess seemed to not plan to maintain the balance between the nobles, but to side with him.

"Is that such an obvious hint? Could it be that the Grand Princess really wants me to be her cannon fodder and political ally? " In that moment, Xiao Wen quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Did he have to rely on Lu Yuan, or did he have to maintain his relationship with the Eastern Aristocrat Clan …

Just then, because he couldn't see what Lu Yuan was thinking, Dong Zhuo boldly pointed at Xiao Wen and said, "Grand Princess, I really didn't think that Xiao Wen's heart would be as fragile as Liu Li's. I was just looking at the lacquers when I remembered what had happened to me recently. Although that merchant just happens to be from the clouds, I absolutely do not have any intention of ridiculing those from the clouds. "

"However, when this Xiao Wen heard me say this, he felt that I was ridiculing him. This guy, he's just a good guy, how dare he insult me. If it's tolerable, then who can't endure it? "

Hearing this, Xiao Wen was speechless.

He could not help but say, "Lord Dong, the matter just now, whether it was my words or yours, there were countless of interpretations. Why do you choose to believe in the most malicious of them all? Is your mind that dark? If it wasn't for you who was just reading it for me, I wouldn't have thought that our conversation could be so dark. "

Xiao Wen's tone was extremely exaggerated, to the point that he even used the tone of a deduction.

Anyone could see that Xiao Wen was bullshitting.

However, the greatest lie in this world is not a lie that a fool would believe. It is a lie that a smart person would know they are lying but cannot do or even dare to tell.

And what Xiao Wen had just said sounded like nonsense. However, when everyone saw that Xiao Wen was actually sitting next to Princess Lu Yuan and had some sharp eyes, they realized that Sun Shangxiang, who was waving to everyone behind Xiao Wen, wasn't a caterpillar that anyone could stomp on. Instead, he was an unstoppable dragon that crossed the river.

Therefore, even though they knew that Xiao Wen was lying, they didn't dare to refute him. Lord Dong, you're too gloomy. There's a better explanation for this conversation, why do you think the worst of it? "

"Master Dong, since the benevolent Xiao has already said that he did not mean it that way, I think you should apologize!" After all, it all started because of you. "

"That's right! As a noble, we have to show our face. But as a man, we have to take responsibility for what we do. What you said just now was too irresponsible. "

The people's will was surging. When all the representatives of the aristocrats joined the crowd to condemn Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo immediately felt that something was wrong.

He quickly stood up and said to Lu Yuan, "Grand Princess, please don't listen to these people spouting lies! The reason they said that was obviously because they wanted to join hands to humiliate me. I plead for the Grand Princess to seek justice for me! "

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Xiao Wen felt that his view of the world was about to be refreshed.

He had never seen such a shameless person.

After all, he was the one who started this.

Compared to lying, using a lie that anyone with a discerning eye could see to mock Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's act of pretending to be innocent after causing trouble was clearly more shameful and irresponsible. After all, although Xiao Wen had lied, this kind of lie that anyone with a discerning eye could see was not used to deceive people.

When a lie loses its deceptive function, leaving behind only ridicule and mockery, it can't be considered a bad behavior.

At most, he would be as rude as someone who spoke in a vicious manner.

However, in this situation, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Wen already held the advantage.

But Dong Zhuo's eyes were red.

He ignored Lu Yuan's increasingly obvious attitude and continued to talk with her, "Grand Princess, I have a glance and I must make it clear. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Xiao Wen would continue to fool you! "
