The king of the Han Kingdom established by Li Chengzong is in Qindao on the coast of the Yellow Sea, not far from Qindao City, there is a village called Guanjiamiao, there is a descendant named Guan Dachang in this village, don't look at this kid is young and strong, but he is not a good person, he has a bad stomach, often takes the opportunity to blackmail people for money, and the neighbors hate him, so they simply call him Laizi.

On this day, Laizi was wandering around the village, and suddenly heard someone shouting under the big locust tree: "Change the plate, change the bowl, change the needle and thread......... it turned out to be a small merchant. He was overjoyed, walked under the big locust tree, and craned his neck to look.

The merchant's name was Cui Xinyi, he lived in a neighboring village, and often came to Guanjiamiao Village, and he knew that this Laizi was not a good person. Lai Zi stepped forward and grabbed his car, and said maliciously: "I was yelled at by you, why do you want to leave?"

Cui Xinyi had to put down the car and asked with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the Dachang brothers, what do you want to buy?"

Laizi picked up a model and looked at it, and asked, "Who is this?"

Cui Xinyi said: "This is the public relations master Guan. ”

Lai Zi's face changed suddenly, he grabbed Cui Xinyi's collar, and said viciously: "How dare you make my father so ugly?"

Cui Xinyi was stunned. Lai Zi said loudly: "You scandalize my father, this is scolding my ancestors, I will never let you go!" Let's go, let's see the official!"

Cui Xinyi is also a stubborn master, seeing that Lai Zi is so unreasonable, his neck stiffened, and he said: "When you see an official, you will see an official, I'm still afraid of you?" He entrusted the truck to a villager to take care of, and went to Qindao City to see the official with Lai Zila.

Coincidentally, the two of them were tugging and pulling to see the official. When I first walked to the city gate. met Li Chengzong inspecting the city defense, and when the two of them saw that it was Li Chengzong, they shouted injustice together.

Li Chengzong frowned, and then asked Cui Xinyi and Lai Zi, "Why are you two arguing, you have to see an official?" Lai Zi preemptively said: "He insulted my ancestors. Cui Xinyi hurriedly defended: "I didn't scold!" Lai Zi presented the model and said, "Your Highness, this is the evidence!"

Li Chengzong took the model and looked at it, it was also like falling into the fog. The human model is a kind of toy for children, first carved on the wood, then embossed on the clay, and then fired in the furnace, the resulting brick mold is concave, used to sell to children. The children then used clay to print on it, and the characters that came out were convex and vivid. The children used this model to act out theatrical stories, but they also had fun. Li Chengzong looked at the palm-sized human model, and couldn't understand how it became evidence of scolding, so he asked Lai Zi: "Guan Dachang, Cui Xinyi sold this model, why did he scold your ancestors?"

Lai Zi saluted, and then said: "My lord doesn't know, the father of the grass people is named Guan Yue, and he is the head of the Hong family's class. The model Cui Xinyi made was made according to my father's appearance, but he deliberately made my father's face bad. ”

Li Chengzong took a closer look, the figure was too small, it was still a full-body portrait of Guan Gong, and the face was only the size of a broad bean, and he couldn't see what was broken. Lai Zi said, take a piece of clay, and you will know it when you try it. Li Chengzong asked the messenger to find a piece of cement.

After a while, the messenger found a piece of cement, and Laizi personally smashed the cement into it, pressed it into the human model, and then took it out and presented it to Li Chengzong. Li Chengzong saw that Guan Gong had a pimple the size of a mung bean on his forehead, which was very ugly. Laizi said, "Your Excellency sees it clearly, right? He's scandalizing my father, but it's more heart-wrenching than scolding me. Let him pay me, that's a matter of course, right?"

Cui Xinyi shouted: "Your Highness, I am wronged! I haven't seen the play, and I don't know if it's Guan Gong played by his father, and I didn't scandalize him!"

Li Chengzong asked, "You haven't seen the play?" Cui Xinyi nodded. Li Chengzong said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the play!"

Speaking of watching dramas, this is also very related to Li Chengzong and Yang Rong, under the care of the two of them, the Han Kingdom was the first to appear in this time and space comedy, to tell the story of the people themselves, said that the opera garden in the city, today is just going to play "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu". Li Chengzong took Cui Xinyi and Lai Zi to the opera garden, found a place to sit down, and after a while, the play began. The stage was wonderful, the audience was fascinated, and the applause continued. When the play was over, the play came out for a curtain call, and the audience laughed unconsciously because four Guan Gong appeared on the stage.

Li Chengzong asked Lai Zi: "Look at these four Guan Gong, which one is the Guan Gong in the play just now?" Where did Lai Zi recognize it, and pointed at one randomly. Li Chengzong shouted: "You can't recognize such a big person, but you can recognize such a small person, isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?" Your father can play Guan Gong, and others can also play Guan Gong, how can you say that Guan Gong on the model is played by your father? I think you're just trying to blackmail people for money!"

Lai Zi quibbled: "Your Highness, in my heart, my father's Guan Gong is the best!" When I saw Guan Gong, I thought it was my father!"

Li Chengzong was angry: "You can really quibble!" I guess you want to blackmail him for money, so I cut a small hole in Guan Gong's forehead. If there is red brick in your fingernails, see that I don't break your legs!" Li Chengzong called the official to come and check it, and there was indeed a little red brick in Laizi's fingernails, which was on the human model.

Seeing Li Chengzong's ugly face, Lai Zi knew that he had been exposed, so he hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed three times in a row, and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, just because the grass people were confused for a while and committed a wrong thing, please forgive Your Highness once." ”

Li Chengzong listened to him, and ordered the officials to pull him to the front of the yamen and beat him with twenty boards. When the twenty boards went down, Laizi's skin opened and the flesh bloomed, but the bones were not broken. The money was not false, but it was beaten like this, and Lai Zi gritted his teeth with hatred.

Laizi lay on the kang for three months before he could go to the ground.

For the past three months, Laizi has been pondering how to get revenge. As soon as he got off the ground, he was in a hurry to find Cui Xinyi. At this time, Cui Xinyi was pushing the truck and wanted to go out, when he saw Lai Zi coming over with a smile and sneering: "Yo, the merchant is going out again?" Come on, let me pick and choose what's good!"

Last time, Li Chengzong defeated Lai Zi, and Cui Xinyi now has confidence, he teased: "Yo, it's okay so soon?" If you don't take care of yourself at home, and you come out to find trouble, don't you want to get back to the board?"

Lai Zi said confidently: "Even if I am beaten by the board, I have to ask for the money for medical treatment." He picked up a few mannequins from the truck, looked at them, and found that two of them belonged to Guan Gong, and immediately said loudly, "You dare to scold my ancestors?" Let's go, let's see the official!"

Cui Xinyi said coldly: "See you when you see it, who is afraid of you!" The two of them came to the yamen again.

Li Chengzong heard the sound of the drum of grievances and hurriedly ascended to the court. When I saw Cui Xinyi and Lai Zi coming to the hall, I was stunned: Why are these two people again? He patted the wood in surprise and asked, "What is the matter with the two of you?"

Lai Zi said: "Your Highness, he scolded my ancestors. ”

Li Chengzong asked, "Why did you scold?" Raiko presented the two mannequins.

Li Chengzong took it and took a look, it was still two Guan Gong models, and after looking at it carefully, he didn't see anything unusual. But he also knew that this Laizi was very capable of quibbling, so he paid a little attention and asked unhurriedly: "Why did he scold your ancestors?"

Lai Zi Zhenzhen said: "Your Highness, it is recorded in the book that my ancestor Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is nine feet long, and he is a great man." But he made my ancestors into three-inch dings, isn't this insulting to my ancestors? Please also ask Your Highness to call the shots for the grass people!"

Li Chengzong asked in surprise, "Master Guan is the ancestor of your family?"

Lai Zi Zhengse said: "Exactly." ”

Li Chengzong was furious when he heard this: "Good for you, Guan Dachang!" Your ancestors Guan Yu and Guan Ping were defeated and taken to Maicheng, and were captured by Lü Meng's subordinates Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong and sent to Eastern Wu. Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, ordered the two to be killed, and the bodies remained in Eastern Wu, but the heads were sent to Xudu. Since then, the two of them have been in different places, which is embarrassing to think about. As his descendant, you don't save him when you see him besieged, you don't rush when you see him captured, you don't rush when you see him going to die, you are so disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial, don't you deserve to die? Come on, push him out of the gate, and behead him!"

When Lai Zi heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a "bang" and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, that was hundreds of years ago!" At that time, I was not yet born. His death has nothing to do with me!"

Li Chengzong said angrily: "His death has nothing to do with you, what is he made of in the human model, and what does it have to do with you?" It is hateful to blackmail people for money with irrelevant things! Come on, beat him up for twenty boards!"

He ordered the signature to be thrown away, and the officials pulled Lai Zi down the lobby and slapped 20 boards.

Only then did Lai Zi know that Li Chengzong was full of poetry and books, and his thinking was quick, he was definitely not someone's opponent, and he could only bring humiliation on himself again, and he suffered in vain, and he didn't take half of the advantage. After that, Lai Zi no longer dared to cheat on Lai.
