Seeing that the two envoys finally showed their true colors, Zhuangzi pulled his face black on the spot.
"Are you here to hire me to go to Chu as a minister, you are killing people in disguise," Zhuangzi shouted softly.
"Murder in disguise" "We are" When the two envoys saw that Zhuangzi said that he would turn his face, he turned his face, and he was immediately puzzled.
"I have sworn in front of the king of the Song country, I will never be an official, I will never leave the Song country, you are not the king of the Song country, if you know that I will go to your Chu country as the prime minister, support the Chu country to attack our Song country, and the king of the Song country will not kill me, this is not only to kill me, but also to connect my whole family, you, you guys, let's go, let's go."
After Zhuangzi finished speaking, he no longer bothered with the two.
Seeing this, the two envoys hurriedly explained: "We are not deliberately disguised as merchants, and we are doing business with you, this is not that the king of the Song Kingdom will not know about this."
"Yes, by the time they know, we have already left the Song State and arrived in the Chu State.
Once he arrives in the territory of Chu State, he Song Kuicheng wants to do whatever he wants, and there is no way to take us. ” "Don't worry, everything is arranged, when we get to the border, we can go through the checkpoints set up by the Chu State, and the Song people have no way to take us."
Between vassal states, not every country has set up checkpoints everywhere.
There are many places where the other country has set up checkpoints, but the home country does not set up checkpoints.
Therefore, at the junction of the Song State and the Chu State, there are checkpoints of the Chu State but no checkpoints of the Song State.
Of course, there are checkpoints there, which must be convenient for the locals.
Anything that is beneficial to the country will be allowed, and anything that is unfavorable to the country will be prohibited.
Only certain important levels are double levels, and both sides set up the levels in the appropriate places.
"You've been here for so long, why didn't you say you guys earlier, you didn't frame me?"
Zhuangzi complained: "The king of the Song Kingdom will definitely send someone to spy on me, just because he is worried that I will break my oath, and I am afraid that I will run away from you and you have been here for so many days, I am afraid that they will already find out your identity, you are framing me."
Zhuangzi said, tearing open the cooked fish, and then waking Yang Hu up.
Yang Hu was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey in front of his father, so he had to rub his eyes and get up.
"Son, you smell the fragrance, don't you eat the grilled fish?"
Yang Hu sniffed his little nose, and really smelled the fragrance, nodded and said, "Eat" "Then wash your hands, wash your face, and eat fish" Zhuangzi took his son Yang Hu into the river, washed the muddy water off his hands and face, and then brought him back to eat grilled fish.
Since all the fish he caught were small fish, Zhuangzi tore all the places without fish bones for his son to eat, and he enjoyed the rest of the head and tail for himself.
"You guys, don't frame me, I won't come to your Chu State to be an official, I won't leave the Song Kingdom.
Let's go."
After speaking, he ignored the two envoys, and one of them took the head and tail of the fish and ate it.
Yang Hu was full, and lay on his father's lap again, first looking at the two envoys, and then probably too tired, and fell asleep again.
The two envoys still ate a bowl of vegetable paste at Zhuangzi's house in the morning, and their stomachs were already hungry.
Originally, they wanted to eat less in the morning and eat more when there was wine and food at noon.
It turned out to be this thing.
Seeing Zhuangzi nibbling on the incense of the fish head and tail, the two of them drooled.
"We're going back like this, we can't give an account to the king."
The two of them were embarrassed to say: We have all the dowry, we will leave like this, can we go back and give us an account to the king "That's not the reason for you" "How is it not a reason" "You said you swore in front of Song Kuocheng, it doesn't matter, we are all ready, we guarantee the safety of your whole family" "The point is that my family may be in danger now, and Song Kuicheng sent someone to my house."
Zhuangzi interrupted.
"This, this, this, impossible" "Anything is possible" After Zhuangzi ate the head and tail of the fish, threw the fish bones to the ground, held his son Yang Hu in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, went to the river again, and went fishing.
"That's not the reason, Zhuangzi, tell me why you don't go to Chu as a prime minister, our king is really here to invite you" "yes, that's not the reason" The two envoys rushed to the river again and asked questions.
Zhuangzi looked at the fishing talisman on the river, and replied, "You say that this is not a reason, so what is a reason?"
An envoy was anxious and said, "Our king has brought us a lot of money, and he really hired you to be the prime minister of Chu." ” "Yes, yes, when we came, we had already sent a lot of money to your house.
It's true."
Zhuangzi said quietly: "Your king really came to hire me as the prime minister of Chu."
"Hmm" "Yes" "Then why didn't you say it earlier, why wait until today?"
"We" "We" "Is it that the heavy money has not been sent yet?"
asked Zhuangzi.
"Yes" "No, no, no" The two envoys gave different answers.
However, no matter what the two envoys answered, Zhuangzi had something to refute them.
"Yes or no" Under Zhuangzi's questioning, the two envoys had to tell the truth.
"When we came, we brought with us a great deal of money, and a letter from the king to you."

"Then why did you say it today," Zhuangzi asked, pulling his face down again.
"We" "We" Zhuangzi didn't wait for the two of them to stand up, and said: "Is it that your king ordered you to test me, if I don't have real talent and real learning, I don't need to pay this heavy money, you will leave with the heavy money, right?"
"No, no, no" "No, no, no" The two envoys waved their hands one after another.
"What's that, you've been interrogating me these days," Zhuangzi said, turning his face and shouting at the two.
"This, this, this" "We, we, we're wrong, it's not what the king meant, it's what we meant, we're wrong" Seeing that the two envoys were embarrassed, afraid that they would not be able to pay the errand and be punished if they went back, Zhuangzi changed his tone again and said slowly: "You take back the heavy money sent to my house, I will not leave the Song State, I will not go to the Chu State to be an official, I don't want your heavy money."
Thank you, king, go back, go back."
When the two envoys saw that Zhuangzi had said this, they quickly knelt down in front of them and begged: "The heavy money we sent out will not be returned, and this is a gift from the king."
But we really can't deal with the king when we go back."
Zhuangzi pointed to a turtle crawling in the mud on the bank of the river beach with his hand and said, "I heard that there is a divine turtle on the altar of your Chu State, and it has lived for three thousand years when it was killed.
The king of Chu carried it in a bamboo box, covered it with brocade silk, and usually treasured it in the ancestral hall for worship.
I ask you: This turtle, would it rather die to show its dignity by leaving its bones, or would it rather live in muddy water and drag its tail?"
The two ministers said: "I'd rather live in muddy water with my tail in tow." ” Zhuangzi pointed to the turtle on the river beach and said, "Go away, I am willing to live freely in the muddy water with my tail dragged like that turtle." ” aa2705221:
