A pair of deep black eyes that were cold and dark without a trace of emotion, Yu Xian'er's heart suddenly jumped. She remembered that the man in front of her was different from all the men she had ever met. He is a high-ranking prince, and he is the second prince today. A person like him has a noble status, and he has also seen a lot of beautiful women, and he will never be frightened by one of his own songs.

The Jade Fairy took a deep breath, but her mind was racing fast, thinking about what kind of woman the proud but handsome and noble man in front of her would be attracted to, and she was going to become that kind of woman.

Because she knows that it is easy to climb high branches, but such high branches made of gold and jade are hard to find. If she can become his woman, with his noble status, she can return to the capital in a bright and bright way, and she can be ashamed in front of those sluts who saw her jokes back then. At this time, it is definitely not a wise move to be petty.

The corners of Yu Xian'er's mouth lifted at the moment, and she quickly restrained her anger, and said with a gentle smile: "The prince is not to blame, because the concubine has a lonely temper, I always want to listen to the opinions of the side, so that the concubine knows her shortcomings." Yu Xian'er's smile and tone at the moment have a special sincerity, which makes people feel that she is humble from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Hui raised his head, looked at her lightly, calm in his deep dark eyes, and said: "If Miss Yuxian'er really wants to listen to this king's comments, it's nothing, but I'm afraid that if I don't listen to the words, there will be something abrupt." ”

Yu Xian'er stood up, bowed gently and gently, and said, "Lord Wang, it's okay to say it!"

Liu Hui smiled and said: "This king has heard the people of Xiaoyao Dao play the piano, and he has heard the music of the dust, and the songs they play have one characteristic, that is, they are free to do whatever they want. I don't know which of them said that those who pay too much attention to technique are at best just musicians, and those who can achieve the unity of the piano and heart are the first generation. ”

The smile on Yu Xian'er's face was a little stiff, and she listened to Liu Hui continue: "And the mountains and flowing water played by the Jade Fairy girl are indeed sonorous and eloquent. It's a pity that the girl cares too much about fingering, cares about piano skills, but lacks freedom. Because the girl has too many entanglements in her heart, she has no freedom at all, and how can she play the artistic conception between the years of Boyazi. ”

Yu Xian'er lowered her eyes, and the discussion around her also stopped abruptly. The dissatisfied eyes cast from all directions seem to be fighting for Yu Xian'er, and they are also complaining about Liu Hui's abrupt beauty.

After half a ring, Yu Xian'er took a step back, Yingying Yifu, and said: "The prince's words today are like an empowerment with the concubine, and the concubine has been taught, I hope that next time I will have the opportunity to ask the prince to comment." The concubine is retired!" she turned around without hesitation, flicked her sleeves, and walked out in such a big stride.

"Girl, wait for me!" her maid hurriedly picked up the guqin that had been left behind and chased after her.

Yu Xian'er didn't stop, she didn't look back, she strode out of the door, and in front of everyone, she just floated away without looking back.

It wasn't until she got out of the gate of Wufu Building that she stopped and looked back. The maid whispered: "Girl, don't be angry, I see that the prince is probably also half-hanging, just talking nonsense." ”

Yu Xian'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "I'm not angry, I just think he's very interesting!" It's just that there is still a trace of resentment and disbelief between her eyebrows, Liu Hui's attitude aroused her strong competitive spirit, if such a man can't be won, she will waste the reputation of Yuxue Wushuang back then.

The maid has followed her for many years, so she naturally understands her thoughts. His eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Girl, if you have any ideas, you have to hurry up, King Xian will only stay in Gunzhou for one night." ”

Yu Xian'er's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of dazed and unwilling flashed in her eyes. Yes, there is only one night, and if she does not grasp this night, she will miss out on the monstrous glory and wealth. She pushed the crystal hairpin on her sideburns and said, "You say, what kind of woman does the prince like?"

The maid thought for a while and said, "I think the prince grew up in the palace, and he has never seen any stunning beauty, and he must not pay attention to ordinary beauties." If you want to be favored by him, you must have something extraordinary. ”

"Yes! There must be something extraordinary. Yu Xian'er's eyes fell on the guqin in the maid's arms, and thinking of Liu Hui's unkind comment, her heart was inevitably uncomfortable again. She has always been confident in her piano skills, and she has indeed put in a lot of hard work. It's just that she also vaguely feels that her piano skills seem to have been stagnant over the years, but she doesn't know why.

However, among the guests who listened to her play the piano, who really went for her piano skills. People spent a lot of money, and what they wanted to appreciate was her delicate and beautiful appearance. She has heard a lot of praise and praise, but no one has really pointed out her shortcomings.

Although what Liu Hui said today was a little more polite, Yu Xian'er couldn't get off the stage. But now that she walked out of the house and was blown by the cold north wind, Yu Xian'er suddenly felt like she was empowered.

Yes, she has cared too much about her skills over the years, and she has lost her original intention to play the piano, and naturally she lacks freedom and freedom. It's just that her piano skills have reached her point, and ordinary people can't hear her shortcomings, today Liu Hui just listened casually, and even lost her mind in the middle, but pointed out her shortcomings.

Thinking about it now, Yu Xian'er had to admire it, and even had an inexplicable admiration for Liu Hui.

The maid suddenly looked around, lowered her voice and said to Yu Xian'er: "Girl, I have heard a few gossips about this virtuous prince before, do you want to know?"

Yu Xian'er's expression moved, and she also lowered her voice, and said, "What kind of gossip? ”

The maid was attached to her ear, and said in a voice: "I heard the guests from the north mention that the virtuous prince entered the Northern Hell alone, not for the sake of our Eastern Qin people, nor for the prince of the Northern Hell at all, but to save a lady he married privately."

I heard that this lady was born in the rivers and lakes, and even did a lowly catcher, and her father is just a man in the rivers and lakes. is such a lowly woman, she is forced to be a serious princess, and the daughter of the dignified Xunyang Zhang family does not dare to touch her edge. ”

Yu Xian'er was stunned for a moment, and a trace of fire suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes. If the women of the rivers and lakes can win his favor alone, she Jade Xian'er can also do it.

While speaking, the master and servant had already come to the carriage, Yu Xian'er stopped talking, and she got into the carriage neatly. casually put down the curtain to cover the amazing eyes in all directions, and lightly ordered: "Let's go! Let's go back." The maid hurriedly climbed into the carriage, and the coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage gradually drifted away in the bustling crowd.

In the Wufu Building, everyone was still whispering, expressing regret for Yu Xian'er's sudden departure. Liu Hui suddenly said lazily: "It's all recorded!"

Voices rang out one after another in the hidden darkness, "Don't worry, my lord, we have all recorded it." ”

Feng Qi, who had been staying silently on the side, as if he didn't exist, stood up, and he said loudly: "Present it all!" Several sturdy figures suddenly appeared in the originally empty corner. Each person had a booklet full of words in their hands. These people were dressed in black and pants, and covered their faces with black scarves, hiding in dark corners like ghosts, if it weren't for Liu Hui's sudden question, the rest of them wouldn't have found out at all.

This is the mysterious secret guard that only the legendary royal family has?

The officials around him who were originally talking eloquently were a little confused, and they didn't know what Liu Hui meant by calling the secret guards at this moment, and they didn't know what news these secret guards recorded. So they closed their mouths one by one and looked at Liu Hui at the top.

Feng Qi had already collected all the booklets in the hands of the secret guard, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's disperse!"

"Yes!" the men agreed with their fists clenched, and disappeared strangely from the room again under the watchful eyes of everyone. It's just that the window didn't open, the door didn't move, and everyone knew that these people were still hiding in this room. But my eyes widened, and I couldn't find any of them.

Liu Hui ignored the shock of the people below, he looked at the booklet presented by Feng Qi, suddenly took out a copy, and read: "Miss Yuxian'er is really a beautiful country, if you can have a spring dawn with her, it will be a great thing." ”

He flipped another page and continued, "Do you know how much a song is worth by Miss Yuxian'er? It is a hundred taels of silver...... Last time I spent 500 taels to hear her play three tunes, but I drank a cup of tea that she made herself...... No loss, no loss, I also took the opportunity to touch her little hand. Sure enough, it was extremely tender. These five hundred taels are simply worth it......."

Before Liu Hui finished reading, the last man sitting in an ordinary dark blue satin thin long jacket stood up tremblingly, and after meeting Liu Hui's shining black eyes, the man's knees were soft and fell to the ground with a "poof", and then kowtowed again and again.

Liu Hui closed the booklet in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Zhu Tongzhi, what are you doing kneeling?"

In the cold and biting weather, a layer of sweat appeared on Zhu Tongzhi's forehead. He didn't want to lose his temper like this, but he didn't understand how all the things he said in private were recorded and presented. He didn't know what Liu Hui was secretly doing to let people record this, but with his years of experience as an official, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Liu Hui didn't pay attention to him anymore, but picked up another booklet and read it out flatly. This time, the words recorded in it became more and more unbearable, and there was a lot of flattery to Liu Hui.

Another man also stood up tremblingly, following Zhu Tongzhi's appearance, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Liu Hui still ignored him and pulled out a new booklet...... Soon, in the first-floor restaurant of Nuoda, only Liu Hui's clear voice sounded.

Hua Lianyue outside rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and said with a disgusted face: "When you say a word about these people, you don't feel anything." I get goosebumps when I take it out alone like this. ”

Xiao Fengnan listened to it with relish, especially when he heard the description of Yu Xian'er, he nodded in agreement from time to time. Seeing this, Hua Lianyue looked disgusted, and hurriedly moved a few steps outside, not wanting to stand with this guy who forgot his friends.

It wasn't until everyone in the room knelt down that Liu Hui slowly closed the last booklet. He raised his deep dark eyes, stared at the restless officials in front of him, and said slowly: "It's only been a few hours since the bandits retreated, and no one knows if they will come back. However, as magistrates, you are not talking about how to find the fleeing bandits, how to appease the families of the injured boatmen, how to compensate the damaged merchants, and how to strengthen the guard. is full of flattery, full of women and silver, how can you be worthy of being the parents of my Eastern Qin people. ”

"King Xian atons for his sins!"

Everyone's hearts are in their throats, and they are afraid of everything. If Liu Hui really grasps this handle and refuses to let it go, they will be unlucky.

Sure enough, I saw Liu Hui's hand pressed on the stack of account books, his thick eyebrows frowned, and he continued: "If these things are handed over to my father, I'm afraid he will also be angry!"

"King Xian atons for his sins!"

The begging for mercy became louder and louder, especially the green-robed fat man who pretended to be clever and invited Yu Xian'er, his face was pale at the moment, and the clothes behind him were already soaked with cold sweat. Even if Liu Hui will let him go this time, the rest of the people will not let him go in the future!

"Atonement?" Liu Hui suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it out, everyone was shocked, and they didn't dare to beg for mercy.

They suddenly understood that the seemingly suave prince in front of them was not so harmless as it seemed. He is a killing god who came back from the battlefield, and the rumors in the market are really true, he is the iron-faced Yama who has mastered the fate of countless people and the life and death of countless people!

Before they knew it, everyone was trembling. They prostrate on the ground, using the most humble and sincere posture, only hoping that the iron-faced Yama in front of them can let themselves live.

Liu Hui sensed their fear, he nodded with satisfaction, slowed down his voice again, and said, "If you can learn the lesson of this time and really put your mind to the people, this stack of books will always be shelved by this king." If the king becomes aware of your continued dereliction of duty, the stack will be placed on the table in the study. ”

Everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. I heard Liu Hui continue: "Feng Qi, these people are just afraid that they still have a fluke mentality, thinking that they can refuse to admit their accounts when they go out. You now have each of them sign and put their handprints on the booklet. If anyone refuses to comply, he will be charged with the following crimes, and he will be killed. ”

"Yes!" Feng Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Lord Wang, there is no cinnabar ink under your subordinates!"

Liu Hui flicked his sleeves and said, "In order to keep them in mind in the future, use their own blood!"

"Obey! The subordinates will definitely make these old men remember. Feng Qi replied extremely loudly. The smile on his lips was hideous.
