Idiom story

During the Warring States period, Su Qin, a political strategist, was good at debating and lobbying with one mouth. He went to the state of Chu and asked to see the king of Chu. The watchman of the palace failed to ask for bribes. He deliberately framed him and let him live for three days first. The things sold to him were very expensive. After seeing Su Qin, the king of Chu talked very speculatively. Su Qin said that Chu's rice is as expensive as pearl and firewood is as expensive as osmanthus.
