296. Chapter 296 Master of Tricks

After Sun Quan sent a visit to Zuo Ci for about a day, someone came to report the news, saying that Zuo Ci had appeared in a restaurant in Shitou City.

It turned out that Zuo Ci heard that Shitou City was still bustling recently, so he ran to Shitou City. Along the way, the people in Wu were living a good life, so he tricked a lot of delicious food and drinks by playing some tricks. He spent his money on his body less than a day after he arrived in Shitou City, so he had to continue playing tricks. In this way, he became famous all of a sudden and was naturally targeted by the Jinyiwei.

Seeing that the Jinyiwei was going to take him to see Sun Quan, Zuo Ci made full preparations first, and then followed the Jinyiwei to the palace. When he saw Sun Quan, he did not kneel down. Seeing this, Sun Quan ordered: "Come here, drag Zuo Ci down and search for her body!"

When Zuo Ci was about to speak, several imperial guards had already dragged him down, and then they began to search his body without saying anything. Originally, Zuo Ci was good at it, but he found that the skills of these soldiers were no worse than that of him, so he honestly asked everyone to search.

Soon Zuo Ci returned to the hall again, with a bunch of things beside him, including wine pots, flowers, and some bottles and jars. Sun Quan said, "Zuo Ci, aren't you kneeling down this time? Do you think your deceitful things can deceive me?"

Zuo Ci couldn't deceive Sun Quan now, so he honestly knelt down and bowed down. Then Sun Quan asked, "Who taught you these tricks of deceiving people? How many people have you deceived? Do you dare to cheat in my country of Wu? Are you not afraid of the law's panic?"

Zuo Ci immediately begs for mercy and said, "The king is above. The old Taoist has been wandering around since he was a child and has no other strengths. He has learned these with some people in the world. At most, the old Taoist has just been eating and drinking, and has never done anything bad? Please tell me the truth!"

Sun Quan asked, "Zuo Ci, why did you come to my Wu Kingdom?"

"King, the old Taoist heard that the Wu Kingdom is very rich now, especially the rich people in Shitou City, so I thought of getting some delicious food here."

"I think you just want to come to my Stone City to cheat money! Those people who have not seen through you all regard you as a god and have given you a lot of money. Tell me, how much money did you cheat? Where did you place it?"

"Your Majesty, please spare me. The old Taoist really didn't cheat me of any money. The old Taoist just didn't want to starve to death."

"It's not impossible to want me to spare you, but you have to perform a trick for me."

"Please tell me, the old Taoist can perform empty pots turning into wine and empty plates turning into dishes, and picking flowers at will."

"I want to see a thrilling thing. How about you put your head down and put it back?"

"Master, the old Taoist can't do this! This will die!"

"Then find an easier one and how about picking up gold coins from a oil pan?"

"Not this!"

"It's better, I'll show you first, pick up gold coins in the oil pan, and then you perform again."

"Ah? Will the king do this too?"

"Stop talking!"

Sun Quan then arranged for Nian Nujiao to go down to prepare things, and then came to the grass outside the hall. A bunch of guards set up oil pans and started to set fire. Soon the oil pan began to steam and slowly rolled up. Sun Quan threw a gold coin in, then reached in and scooped up the gold coin, then took a towel to wipe the oil on his hand, but nothing happened.

Zuo Ci immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "The king's divine power, please spare your life! The old Taoist is blind, please spare your life!"

Sun Quan looked at Zuo Ci and said, "Okay, this is just a trick of a scammer."

However, not only Zuo Ci, but even the guards around him have worshipped Sun Quan to a new level. How could mortals put their hands into the oil pan without being hurt? However, Sun Quan did not want this thing to deceive the world, because it would give many people the opportunity to deceive the people, and many of them rely on these things to deceive the people into rebelling.

So Sun Quan said to everyone: "Don't be so surprised. This is just a trick, it's fake. Of course, there must be some secrets in the middle, but I won't tell you this anymore. But everyone must understand that this matter is fake, and this oil pan will not really burn people."

Then he took Zuo Ci back to the hall and said to Zuo Ci: "Zuo Ci, do you know why I came to you?"

Zuo Ci didn't know either, so he begged for mercy and said, "Good king, please spare me, the old Taoist, I don't know, the old Taoist promises that he will never come to the Wu Kingdom to deceive people again. The king will spare me!"

"Okay, I don't plan to do anything to you. I ask you, if I ask you to do something for me, can you do it?"

"King, I am just a Taoist priest who knows some tricks, and I don't understand anything else!"

"Then I ask you, do you have a very good idea when you go to deceive people and tell your tricks into immortals?"

"Master, the old Taoist is helpless, otherwise how could everyone believe me!"

"Okay, what I mean is to let you use your specialty of fooling everyone, but what you say to others in the future must listen to me. I am now forming Taoism, and you go to Taoism to be an elder of the scriptures. Of course, I will arrange for you to pay for your salary. We will pay to support you. How about it?"

"Master, is this true? There is such a good thing. The old Taoist thanks the king for his mercy!"

"Taoism is still in preparation. Before that, you can teach me all your tricks to your disciples. Then we can build a magic performance place in Stone City, and then let them perform to make money. Especially some veterans, some of whom are disabled, so it is not very convenient to do things. It is more appropriate to do this."

Zuo Ci naturally had no objection. He didn't need to make money on this, so he taught him. Anyway, it would not affect his livelihood. He could still be a cheap master.

So a few days later, a yard called "Veteran Magic" appeared in Stone City. There were some retired disabled veterans performing some magic shows there every day. At the same time, they would tour around the city, which also provided more channels for the veteran resettlement department. Zhu Ju also came to Sun Quan for this matter.

"My King, I don't know if there are more ways for me. The content of our veteran tricks is still a bit monotonous. After watching it a few times, you are not interested in watching it again. I don't know if my king has any better suggestions." Zhu Yu knows that many people are watching this trick performance now, but after watching it a few times, you are not interested in it.
