Chapter 131: Accident
"Miss Liu, this is from my master." A long-looking figure stood in front of Liu Ke's car, holding a letter in both hands.
Liu Ke put down the curtain and said, "I don't know your master, I don't dare to teach each other, I hope you will forgive me." ”
When she had finished speaking, she said to the coachman, "Drive the carriage aside and make way for them." ”
Liu Ke guessed correctly, the person sitting in the car was the current prince Rong Ye.
Rong Ye is twenty-three years old this year and is from the former Empress Sun.
Sun died more than a decade ago, before the emperor ascended the throne.
However, she is the wife of the current emperor, and the first thing the emperor did after ascending the throne was to posthumously crown Sun as Empress Jingxian and canonize Rong Ye as the crown prince.
Although the emperor later canonized the new queen Zheng, with the third prince Rong Yan and the fourth prince Rong Liao, Rong Ye's crown prince position has not been shaken.
Now that the emperor is in poor health, he let the crown prince supervise the country.
In his previous life, Liu Ke had never met the prince of the Han Dynasty, and only heard that he had self-immolated and martyred after the country was broken.
When he was in the Liu family just now, the prince's indifference to Liu Ke made Liu Ke feel that he was a very scheming person, and he saw that Liu Jialu wanted to use beauty tricks on him.
After leaving the door of Liu's house, he came to provoke Liu Ke again.
In Liu Ke's opinion, Rong Ye is nothing more than that.
At this time, Rong Ye, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but laugh after listening to Liu Ke's words.
This eldest lady of the Liu family is a little different from her uncle, probably because of Liu Ming. Originally, Rong Ye didn't want to be entangled with a little girl, but at this time he was a little curious about Liu Ke.
That's what he thought. He said to the coachman, "Let's go!" ”
Rong Ye's carriage slowly walked past Liu Ke's carriage.
Liu Ke and Liu Wan's carriage continued to move forward, slowly walking onto the bustling street market.
Liu Wan recalled the tone of Liu Ke's speech just now, and said with surprise: "Sister, you are so powerful, you dare to talk to him like this even if you know that he is the prince, aren't you afraid at all?" ”
"Because I guessed his identity, I dare to do this, as the prince of a country, he shouldn't be able to do anything to me, a woman, and. He was also afraid of falling for his uncle's plan. So it's good to rest assured. Liu Ke couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Wan so worried.
When Liu Wan heard this, Fang put down a hanging heart and became active again.
She lifted the curtain and looked out at the signboards lining the roadside. Said: "Sister." There is a rouge shop in front. The rouge inside is very delicate, let's go down and take a look. ”
has already gone to the street, and Liu Ke also wants to see the customs of the capital. He nodded in agreement.
As soon as he got out of the car, Liu Wan ran forward like a bird in a cage that was released, and Liu Ke saw that Liu Wan was so happy, and couldn't help but smile and follow.
The girl who came out with them also hurriedly followed.
At this time, Liu Wan, who was running in front, suddenly stopped, and there was a commotion not far away.
Liu Wan is a good thing, and he took Liu Ke's hand to go to the front to see what was going on.
Liu Ke grabbed her and said, "Let the girls go and see what's going on first?" ”
Yuxiang took the lead and walked to the front and said, "The two young ladies are here later, I'll go to the front and come back." ”
As she spoke, she ran to the front.
After a while, he came back and said: "The eldest lady and the second miss of Qiyu, it was the government that dragged a woman who murdered her husband to parade through the streets, and the woman kept shouting, and many people were watching. ”
After Liu Wan heard this, he frowned and said, "The murder of my husband is still noisy." ”
"The prisoner car will arrive here in a while, the second lady wants to see the excitement, let's just wait here, we don't have to go to the front." Yuxiang said.
Liu Ke saw that there were indeed a lot of ordinary people walking towards this side, she said: "What is there to look at a prisoner, I am a little thirsty, there is a teahouse here, let's go in and have a cup of tea, don't crowd together, even if our uncle and grandmother are lenient to us and will not restrain us excessively, we ourselves must keep our duty." After she finished speaking, she pulled Liu Wan into the teahouse.
Although Liu Wan was a little reluctant, what Liu Ke said made sense, and after a while, both sides of the road were crowded with people, and it was really not a place they should bring.
However, she was very curious, and when she saw that the teahouse had a second floor, she said to the tea boy who greeted her: "Is there a private room on the second floor?" ”
When the tea boy saw that they were two young ladies, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, there is a private room in the west hand upstairs." ”
"Can you see outside?" Liu Wan asked happily after hearing this.
The tea boy smiled: "Of course, the window of the private room in the west hand is facing the street, if the two young ladies want to see the street scene, that is the best." ”
Hearing this, Liu Wan couldn't help but say a little excitedly: "What kind of street scene to see, Miss Ben just wants to see what kind of woman who murdered her husband is with three heads and six arms." ”
She and Liu Ke both took the curtain away, and the tea boy couldn't see their faces, but just looking at their clothes, he could tell that they should be from a big family, but after listening to Liu Yan's words, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, he had never seen such a curious and daring lady to express her heart in public, this was in the teahouse, not in their backyard.
The tea boy was amazed and took them to the private room.
"Let's have a cup of tea."
Liu Ke and Liu Wan sat on the seats by the window and said.
They were condescending, and by this time they could already see that the prisoner cart was slowly coming towards them.
The people who did good things followed the prisoner cart all the way, and many people hit the woman in the prisoner cart with the rotten vegetable leaves in their hands.
"Come, come, sister, look at that woman's neck, as if someone else was doing bad things. Her dead ghost man is really unlucky, why did he find such a wife. Liu Wan said indignantly.
Liu Ke couldn't help but look down, and saw that the woman seemed to be shouting something, but it was too far away, and there were too many onlookers, and there were chaotic voices, so I couldn't hear what the woman was saying at all.
After a while, the tea boy served the tea, and Liu Wan said: "This woman is about to be broken into ten thousand pieces!" ”
The tea boy put the teacup in front of them, and interjected: "The two young ladies don't often come out and don't know, this woman lives in Lijiagao Village, five miles outside the city, her husband was hacked to death at home, and it was her neighbor who reported to the government, and she heard her neighbor say that her husband had just quarreled with her before he died, so she became the biggest suspect, and the official sent her to hang after a month. ”
After hearing this, Liu Wan nodded thoughtfully, and then looked back out.
Yuxiang took a few pennies and put it in the tea boy's hand, and said, "It's nothing wrong with you, you go down first, and close the door when you go out." ”
The tea boy took the money and went out.
"Sister, do you think this woman will be wronged, it is indeed a bit far-fetched to be hanged just based on the words of the neighbor." Seeing that there was no one in the room, Liu Wan took off the curtain on his head.
Liu Ke also took off the curtain and took a sip of tea and said: "It doesn't matter to us whether we are wronged or not, the street is too chaotic, we will go back after drinking tea." ”
At first, Liu Xuan didn't know that the person Shi asked Liu Ke to see was the prince, so he stupidly listened to her words and lured Liu Ke out, but fortunately, the prince didn't do anything to Liu Ke, otherwise she would regret dying.
Originally, she didn't come out to buy anything, so after listening to Liu Ke's words at this time, she nodded and said, "Oh, when the prisoner car passes, we will go back." ”
At this time, the prisoner car gradually drove to the bottom of the teahouse, and the woman's shout gradually became clear.
"Dog officer, I don't know how much benefit you eat, count my husband's death on me, even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go......"
Liu Ke saw that the woman was dressed in a gray coarse cloth prison uniform, her hair was also messy and scattered, and there was a sign behind her, on which was written a big word "kill", but her waist was straight, and the courage of being righteous and awe-inspiring was not something that ordinary peasant women could have.
Some unknown people kept hitting her body with things in their hands, and the gray prison uniform was covered with dirt.
But the insults of the people did not stop the woman, she was still shouting injustice.
Liu Ke was not interested in the chaotic scene below, so he withdrew his gaze.
Just as she withdrew her gaze, a seven or eight-year-old boy not far away ran quickly in the direction of the prisoner car while crying.
Liu Ke hurriedly stood up and looked over there, only to see a figure coming out of nowhere, and suddenly hugged the little boy from behind with one hand, covered his mouth tightly with the other, turned around and ran out of the alley, and disappeared in an instant.
To Liu Ke's surprise, that person was none other than Wang Wu beside her.
And Liu Wan, who was sitting opposite Liu Ke, and a few girls behind him, still stared at the prisoner car with their eyes, and did not see what was happening in the alley.
Liu Ke was stunned for a moment, didn't care about explaining to Liu Yun, reached out and grabbed the curtain on the table and walked out.
As he walked, he said, "Quick, you come with me." ”
Liu Wan didn't understand why Liu Ke suddenly wanted to leave, and chased after him and said, "Sister, there are still many people down there." ”
Liu Ke didn't reply, and walked out of the private room in surprise and ran downstairs.
Liu Wan had no choice but to follow.
Liu Ke took the curtain away, ignoring the large number of onlookers on the street, bypassed the back of the onlookers, and finally arrived at the opposite alley.
Liu Wan also followed up and shouted: "Sister, you said about me just now, why are you indisregarding the street like this, in case you meet someone and you will be in trouble, let's go back quickly." ”
As if he hadn't heard, Liu Ke saw a fork not far from the alley, so he walked towards the alley.
Liu Wan had no choice but to follow, but Yuxiang fell behind because she was checking out at the back.
Liu Ke just walked to the socket, and suddenly a cold long sword stretched out and hit her neck directly! (To be continued......)
