I open a tavern in the Three Realms

Sun Wukong made Du Kang tremble, and shouted again at the top of his voice: "Old man Du, are you still sternly refusing to admit it? Old Sun will go to your mansion and stab your restaurant to see if he can find out the truth. The exact same wine came out today!"

Seeing this, Li Bai didn't say no, and he didn't say no, so he just sat there, holding the cup, anxious.Then he racked his brains thinking about how to get Yun Ting out, after all he is a mortal and innocent.

"Sage of wine, just admit it! Tell everyone to open your eyes and see which wine boy in your house brewed this peerless wine!"

Lu Dongbin was holding a toast, and said to Du Kang in a staggered way.He was happy today, and he was sitting with Li Bai and Monkey again. The three of them drank a little too much, and they felt overwhelmed.

Taishang Laojun sternly said: "Pohou, this is the Palace of Eight Views, no nonsense is allowed!"

Sun Wukong reluctantly let go of his hand and said irritably: "Old man, I'm not fooling around. I want to ask the Wine Sage for an explanation as to why this wine has a strange smell!"

At this moment, Du Kang's heart beat faster, he was at a loss, and his mind was in chaos, he didn't know what to say or what to do.He only felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and his face was so scared that it seemed to be dyed with colorful colors, red for a while, blue for a while, and white for a while, completely without the pretended calm just now.

"Wine Saint, what do you want to say?"

The Jade Emperor suddenly asked, and the noisy dojo suddenly became silent.

"Old Man Du, what are you talking about, which boy made it? Hurry up and let him come out to receive the reward! Otherwise, my Golden Cudgel won't be able to bear the loneliness!"

Monkey King jumped again, raised his hand and took out a glittering golden embroidery needle from his right ear, which turned into a golden stick the size of a fist in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Du Kang raised his heart to his throat, and his whole body was as tense as if the strings of a bow were fully stretched.Say it out, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor, if you don't say it, it's also a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you still have to take credit for it.

Then you have to worry that you will be beaten into meat paste by the irritable monkey at any time.Whether you say it or not, it's a dead word anyway, it's a dilemma, there's no way to speak!
"Old man Du, don't you admit it? Old Sun will go to Du's mansion to find out. If you accidentally overturn your wine jar, don't blame me!"

Monkey King carried the Ruyi Golden Cudgel on his shoulders and walked back and forth.If it weren't for the monk's clothes, he has become a holy Buddha, and with his personality, he would have been beaten and killed long ago.

"Why is it so easy to get drunk today! This wine seems to be a little different..."

"Wine Saint, if you didn't make this wine, you can tell me!"

"You are right to say that the Fighting Buddha is victorious. If it is not brewed by the Wine Sanctuary, then the brewer must be found and rewarded..."

All the immortals were half-drunk and half-awake, discussing in one go.

"Hmph, old man Du, are you still unwilling to admit it?"

Sun Wukong grabbed Du Kang by the ear, pulled him to the Jade Emperor's throne, and jumped up and down anxiously, wishing he could stab the Du mansion right now.

"Sage of wine, if you didn't make it, then you didn't make it, just admit it!"

Lu Dongbin blushed and said to him with a smile.

Li Bai is more anxious than Du Kang at the moment. It seems that this matter cannot be hidden, so he has to think of a way to let Yun Ting go down to the mortal world. It's just that so many people are staring at him, how can he get away?

All the immortals were also one-sided at this time, accusing Du Kang one after another, asking him to tell the truth and prove that the wine was brewed by himself.

Taishang Laojun just watched with cold eyes, occasionally glancing at Li Bai who was drinking in the distance.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother did not speak, and remained expressionless, watching Du Kang quietly.

At this moment, Du Kang's mind went blank, and all the excuses he had originally thought of were completely forgotten.Now his eyes are filled with bloody images of himself being beaten to pulp by a monkey...

"Du Aiqing, do you have anything to say?"

The Jade Emperor suddenly took a sip of the rose wine, then frowned, and asked again.

Du Kang looked at the majestic Jade Emperor, the smiling Taishang Laojun, the drunk Lv Dongbin, Li Bai who pretended to be calm and drinking heavily, and the grinning Sun Monkey who was furious.

Immediately, he was so anxious that he was at a loss like an ant on a hot pot. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his whole face was as embarrassing as dead ashes, and he couldn't help shivering...

"thump"

Du Kang staggered to the Jade Emperor's throne, and suddenly knelt down.He didn't dare to raise his head, and his upper body was lying tightly on the ground in a five-body posture.

The entire dojo suddenly became quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard were Du Kang's "thumping" heartbeat and the "gurgling" sound of his teeth chattering.

Li Bai saw Du Kang knelt down on the ground, anxiously put down the toast, stood up, and secretly said in his heart: What should I do?Fellow Daoist Du is not calling himself...

Seeing Li Bai getting up, Taishang Laojun took a special look at Li Bai, and it happened that Li Bai was also looking at him. After the master and apprentice looked at each other, they looked away silently.

"Du Kang, don't you hurry up and confess truthfully! Don't try to treat Lao Sun like a monkey! If you dare to hide a word, my Lao Sun will use hundreds of people from your Du family to sacrifice meat today!"

The monkey threw the Ruyi golden cudgel in the air, and caught it with its hand. Then it jumped to Du Kang's side, scratched its ears and yelled at him.

All the immortals were aware of Pohou's abilities and methods, so naturally they didn't dare to speak out about it, and all of them felt worried for Du Kang in their hearts.

Du Kang was still lying motionless on the ground, and he was so frightened that he was shaking all over, sweating all over his body, his official uniform was soaked through, and the ground was dripping wet in an instant.

After a long time, Du Kang shouted with a trembling voice, regretting too much: "Your Majesty... a humble minister, you deserve death! Your Majesty..."

The Jade Emperor said calmly: "Du Aiqing, what crimes have you committed? You might as well tell them one by one!"

"..."

Du Kang always maintained the posture of lying on the ground with his body attached to the ground, and buried his head low, "Your Majesty! I'm guilty! I shouldn't take the credit alone and use the wine brewed by others to deceive Your Majesty and the immortals!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head, his face as pale as a dead man was covered with cold sweat and tears, "Your Majesty, I know I deserve to die! I know I'm wrong, I should never, never should have hidden this matter." ah!"

"Boom, boom, boom"

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime! My minister, I deserve death for my crime..."

"Boom, boom, boom"

While crying and shouting, Du Kang kowtowed desperately to the Jade Emperor, knocking the whole ashram to "boom", and within a minute, Du Kang kowtowed until his head was bleeding.

"This……"

Li Bai took the first two steps, but he didn't dare to plead for mercy. After all, the Jade Emperor hadn't spoken yet. If Long Ting was furious, the consequences would be disastrous.He had no choice but to look for help to Taishang Laojun and Lu Dongbin who was sober for three minutes in an instant.

The Jade Emperor continued to ask expressionlessly: "Du Aiqing, please stand up and speak! Who brewed this wine?"

What the Jade Emperor said by "getting up" didn't mean that he actually stood up, but just ordered him not to kowtow desperately for the time being.

Hearing the holy words, Du Kang slowly raised his bloody head, still kneeling on the ground, but straightened his back and said: "Your Majesty...Wei Chen, I dare not say it! Wei Chen, I am afraid that innocent people will be harmed... this matter It's all because I'm greedy for profit, and deceived others to make wine for me... I am willing to listen to your majesty, and I only beg your majesty to forgive this wine maker!"

"You old man, you still dare to be stubborn!"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he wanted to pull Du Kang's ear again, but the Jade Emperor stopped him and said, "Dou defeated the Buddha, please stay calm and wait for him to finish speaking!"

"Hmph! Old Sun wants to see how he justifies himself!"

Sun Wukong glared at Du Kang and jumped to the side. Lu Dongbin immediately grabbed him and whispered: "Holy Buddha, please don't press me any further. I think this Wine Sage refuses to tell, and he has his own unspeakable secrets." Let's see how the Jade Emperor will deal with him!"

"Shangxian's words are wrong. My old grandson hates dishonest people the most and must force him to speak out today! Otherwise, I will stay here in Bajing Palace!"

Sun Wukong's true nature was revealed again at this time.

"..."

Seeing Du Kang's miserable appearance, Lu Dongbin couldn't talk anymore, but kept trying to persuade the monkey to calm down.

Let's talk about Li Bai, who was about to slip away, but was blocked by the Taishang Laojun with Buddha dust, "little apprentice, where are you going?"

Li Bai saw that it was Laojun, pretending to be drunk and said: "Master, this disciple is a little drunk, I want to go back to the mansion to rest!"

Laojun shook the Buddha dust, smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to leave after the alchemy meeting is over! I still have something to say to you as a teacher!"

"..."

Li Bai could only laugh awkwardly, and went to find Lu Dongbin and Monkey King.

The Jade Emperor sternly said: "Du Aiqing, if you insist on refusing to reveal the person who made the wine, you should know what will happen to you, and you may even implicate him! I only give you half a stick of incense to think about it!"

"..."

Du Kang closed his eyes and let the blood on his forehead flow into his mouth.At this moment, he only had Yun Ting's safety in his mind, and he had already left his life and death cycle behind.

At this point, there was no use fearing death for him, and he had no right to choose. He might as well say it out loud, and then beg the Jade Emperor to spare Yunting's life!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, when I was away on business a few days ago, I passed by the world, and I happened to find that a mortal had brewed such fine wine. So I went into the store and bought a cup..."

Du Kang burst into tears, and told the whole story in detail, but he only concealed the matter of Li Bai, and took on the responsibility of deceiving Yun Ting to go to heaven by himself.

"Your Majesty, this minister deserves to die. He deserves to be cut into pieces by a thousand swords and pierced with a pipa... But before he dies, there is one thing I beg: I implore the Jade Emperor to forgive me for the sake of my minister's devotion to brewing wine for thousands of years. The lives of all the boys in my house, and the mortal Yun Ting! My lord, thank the Jade Emperor for his divine grace!!"

"Boom, boom, boom"

After saying that, Du Kang kowtowed again, every time he kowtowed, the ground became redder, and the place where he knelt was dyed bright red.

All the immortals looked at it and shook their heads again and again, all with compassion.
