Ma Du did not expect that children in ancient times also had the habit of listening to bedtime stories, Xiao Yu'er or water chestnut never asked for this, this little prince who was only more than three years old seemed to be extremely enthusiastic about this, and it was very difficult to fool, he had already heard a lot of stories at a young age, and he could still remember it.

"Have you heard of lying on the ice and begging for carp?"

Zhang Zongzhao nodded, "I've heard it!" ”

"Where's Zhang Liang's shoes?"

"I've heard it three times!"

"This Huang Xiang Wen Xi?"

"What about Sima Guang smashing the cylinder?"

……

There are a lot of stories about Ma Du, but it is not easy to tell casually, Zhang Zongzhao is prince and there is a princess next to him, so he has to tell some gentle and humble or small stories about filial piety, who knows that this little prince has heard all the familiar allusions.

Baijin explained: "In the past, when the second prince had rubella, he couldn't sleep and asked the slave to talk with him, and the slave had to tell him a story, and his stomach was already empty for almost two years. ”

Zhang Zongzhao lay on the cot and nodded his little head and said, "Yes, so sir, don't fool me casually!" "Cut, the little thing still dares to look down on Lao Tzu, it seems that he has to come up with a killer idea.

Of course, Madu is telling the most boring story in the later life, otherwise every child would always fall asleep listening to this story. It turned out to be equally effective in bringing it to ancient times, and before the story was finished, Zhang Zongzhao's child had already snored slightly, and Ma Du let go of his wrist and let out a long breath.

Princess Liu and Baijin listened to it with relish, and when they saw that Ma Du didn't say anything, there seemed to be some disappointment in their eyes. Princess Liu said softly: "It's still Mr. Pony's story that sounds good, and Zong Zhao is asleep." ”

"It's not that His Majesty's story is useful, it's because I've been pressing the Shenmen acupoint on his wrist, which has the effect of calming the nerves." Ma Du stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of his wrist, "Girl Baijin can remember, maybe she can use it in the future." If the princess has no other orders, her subordinates will take their leave! ”

Princess Liu nodded, "Give Mr. Pony a hundred gold." ”

Baijin kept sending Ma Du outside the courtyard, looking like he wanted to say something. Ma Du asked directly: "What does Miss Baijin have to say?" ”

"Although the story of the gentleman is good, it involves men and women, and it is really not good for the second prince to listen to such a story when he is still young." Before Baijin finished speaking, his face turned red, turned around and ran away.

Not good? It's not good that you and Princess Liu still listen to it with relish, shouldn't you be thinking about how to soak Snow White's little ** in the pig cage. Ma Du returned to the duty room and sat for a day, and as soon as he left the palace, he ran into Lao Liu.

Lao Liu's expression was normal, but his eyes were full of anxiety. When he was a little farther away from the palace, Lao Liu couldn't wait to say: "Master, Chang Gongzi and the five or six boys are gone!" ”

Ma Du's heart jumped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lao Liu hurriedly said: "After sending you to the palace this morning, I went over there, but I didn't see their shadows." I searched everywhere, but neither the Song family nor the Shen family had ever been there, and I didn't see them come back after waiting for a day. ”

"Could it be that the hiding place is exposed? He was captured by patrolling soldiers. ”

Lao Liu shook his head, "That's not like that, everything is fine over there, and everything I have done is in good condition." I guess they're out playing! ”

This is very likely, Chang Mao has said more than once that he is aggrieved in the cave. Ma Du didn't care about returning to the Shen Mansion, so he took Lao Liu directly to Yang Shuping's house.

Looking at the portrait given by Ma Du, Yang Shuping said: "The characteristics of these two people are obvious, and it should not be difficult to find. ”

"You go to Fireworks Willow Lane more!" Ma Du said seriously: "Please be sure to take this matter to heart, one of them is the son of Chang Yuchun, who is Chang Pingzhang, I believe you have also heard of it." If his son has an accident, he is afraid that the people of Pingjiang will suffer if he breaks the city one day, and you and I are afraid that they will also be unlucky. ”

Like many fathers in the world, Chang Yuchun usually scolds and kicks Chang Mao, but he is also extremely protective. If Chang Mao died in the army on the battlefield, Chang Yuchun might have nothing to say, but if he died in Pingjiang, he didn't know what would happen with Chang Yuchun's character of killing and slaughtering the city.

"This kid is really uneasy!" Just like Chang Mao regretted going out to play with Ma Du, Ma Du also regretted bringing him to Pingjiang very much.

Yang Shuping was the head snake in the end, and it only took three days to find out the whereabouts of Chang Mao and Zhang Wuliu, but things were even worse than Ma Du imagined.

"What?! They pretended to be dumb and went to the kiln and were arrested by the patrolling soldiers! ”

Yang Shuping nodded, "Most of the Qinglou has no business these days, and it should have been easy to check, but the two of them went to a very remote Qinglou, so it was a little late." They were very generous and gave a gold ingot! He took a small ingot of gold from his bosom and laid it on the table.

Lao Liu picked it up and looked at the mark at the bottom of the bottom, and said to Ma Du: "That's right! There is the mark of Zhang Shicheng's palace on it, which was found from that person, and there is only this ingot of gold in the money bag except for some scattered silver. Fortunately, they spent the gold ingot, and if they were found by the soldiers, they were dead. "Of course, the person Lao Liu said refers to the person who came from Hongdu.

Madu asked, "And then?" ”

Yang Shuping said: "After they were caught, it was just nonsense of 'Abba Aba', and the patrolling soldiers couldn't figure out where they came from, so they beat them up and threw them into the prison. ”

Ma Du breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'll ask Shen Wansan to go and get people tomorrow." "Shen Wansan's name is still quite effective in Pingjiang, and it should no longer be a problem to go to the yamen to catch two people.

Yang Shuping said: "It's a step late, there are no idlers in the prison, they are tall and strong with hands and feet, and they are also 'dumb', and they have been sent to work!" ”

Ma Du was puzzled: "Are you mistaken, those two stupid ones are going to die, where will they work if they eat and drink, and who will want two dumb people to work!" ”

Yang Shuping smiled bitterly: "It is suitable for dumb people to work, and there are many dumb people there." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhang Wuliu took a big wooden spoon and stirred it around in the pot very seriously, the pot was steaming, but the smell wafting out was disgusting and spicy, "Abba Aba!" He pointed to a bamboo basket next to him.

Chang Mao hurriedly picked up the bamboo basket and poured the ashes into the pot one by one, even if he plugged his nostrils with grass leaves, the stench was still clearly recognizable, and the pungent steam made him teary-eyed.

Zhang Wuliu put down the spoon and was about to go over to take a look, but a steward who covered his nose with gauze grabbed him, "Look at the pot!" Leave him alone, just get used to spitting and spitting! ”

"Abba Aba...... Zhang Wuliu had no choice but to use a wooden spoon to continue stirring in the pot.

It was a very large courtyard, and there were many large cauldrons in the open air, and two or three people were in charge of one pot, and there were people in charge of the affairs to patrol back and forth in it, and if anyone did something wrong, they would correct it.

The steward seemed to value Zhang Wuliu very much, and patted him on the shoulder, "The young man is very good, he is very quick to get started, you are the smartest mute I have ever seen." Do a good job, I'll give you an extra half a bowl of rice tonight! ”

"Abaaba." The first time he was praised for being smart, Zhang Wuliu was very happy, of course, he was still self-aware, the reason why he got started quickly was because he felt that this process was very familiar, where did he seem to have done the same thing, where did he do it? Why can't I remember, Zhang Wuliu is a little entangled......
