"Smack". The storyteller slapped the bamboo board on the table, stroked his long beard, and thought that he was confident.

"You mean! What's going on in the back! Someone in the audience shouted.

"Say it, say it, sell it, and kill people in a hurry!"

"You storyteller, if you don't talk about it, everyone will disperse!"

Xiao Er hurriedly glanced at the stage, and the storyteller coughed and said, "I suddenly feel tired and sleepy, and I can't continue to speak without motivation." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone took out their pockets and filled the little two's money basin to the brim. The storyteller coughed again, and then said slowly.

"Let's say that the floating corpse of the Qinhuai River has been salvaged, and it was recognized by the sharp-eyed officers and soldiers, and they were sent away as soon as possible. For a while, there were different opinions. However, the most likely one is Liu Shangshu's son, Liu Zhiyuan. Why? The storyteller slapped the bamboo board again and said mysteriously, "Someone saw the Liu character token on the street." ”

"Liu Zhiyuan? Is it the one who robbed the daughter of Li Daniu's family who sold baked cakes last month? Someone asked.

"Hey, yes, it seems to be him. A while ago, there was a lot of trouble in the city. I don't hear much about it now. ”

"This Li Da Niu, alas, is a good person. It's a pity. ”

"Isn't it? Originally, he was a very happy man, smiling all day long, and the cakes he sold were cheap and delicious. ”

"That Li Niu, who has been in water since she was a child, Li Daniu has been in pain all the time, and she is afraid that she will break it in her hand and melt it in her mouth, who would have thought that she would be robbed of her baby daughter by this Liu Shangshu's son!"

"So, if you want me to say, Liu Zhiyuan deserves it! Man, you really can't do bad things! ”

Suddenly, the door of the open-air tea shed was kicked open with a "bang".

"Say what, say what! Which is deceiving the public! The officers and soldiers who led the team broke in with javelins in their hands, and everyone who was extremely indignant just now immediately walked away with their heads in their hands. The storyteller forgot to take the bamboo board and ran away through the back door.

The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Qi, the early dynasty.

There was an official in his sixties and seventies, wearing a three-grade black gauze hat, kneeling in the center of the court, crying heartbroken.

"Liu Aiqing, please get up quickly." The middle-aged man sitting on the throne leaned slightly sideways, as if he couldn't bear to look directly at the scene in front of him.

"Your Majesty! The old minister implores His Majesty to call the shots! The official's voice was hoarse, like a rusty wheel in an old well.

"Alright. I promise you that I will immediately order the Ministry of Punishment to investigate this matter thoroughly. Get up quickly. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Liu Shangshu got up, and immediately two younger officials went up to help, but Liu Shangshu's body deliberately tilted to the side, wanting to have a painful scene, but he didn't think that his strength was not well controlled, and he almost fell down with the people who helped him, and the black gauze hat was also crooked.

Among the officials standing on the right, someone burst into a sneer.

Liu Shangshu immediately stood up straight and looked over, and scolded angrily, "Which official friend fell into the well and bullied the old man and lost his son?" ”

The officials on the right began to crowd and look at each other, and no one identified them.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Liu Shangshu was about to kneel down again, Emperor Qi cleared his throat and said, "Which Aiqing is willing to share my worries and assist the Criminal Department in handling this case?" ”

There was silence again.

"Your Majesty, it's better to let the old minister go, so that I can give Xiao'er an explanation." Liu Shangshu looked so sad.

"No. Liu Aiqing is one of the founding fathers of the People's Republic of China, in the old age, and through the pain of losing a child, if it is emotional because of the case, it is not good to have a mistake, and I will lose a pillar of talent. You should rest your body well, and don't overwork. I'll see, it's better to pick a prince......"

One of the ministers on the right stood up, and the ministers who were usually used to seeing it still couldn't help but sigh, a good jade tree in the wind, the ritual of the dragon and phoenix, the posture of pine and bamboo, and the whole body seemed to be wearing a halo, which made people can't help but feel that the blood of the emperor is the blood of the emperor, and where to stand is the focus.

"Father, the son is willing to accept the order, and do his best to cooperate with the Criminal Department to investigate the case of the successive murder of the rich sons of the imperial city."

It was the three princes of Qi who said this, and they were full of flowers, raising their hands and feet elegantly.

The person sitting on the throne shook his eyebrows, quite surprised, but still nodded, "Then Han'er will handle this matter, do you have any objections?" ”

The ministers were silent for a moment. That Liu Shangshu looked at Hua Chenghan and rolled his eyes, quietly looked at Hua Chenghan, and stopped talking, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Zhong Zhiyuan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, stood up at the right time, "The ministers have no objections. ”

Emperor Qi's face softened, "Do you Aiqing have anything else to discuss?" There is nothing to retreat from. After speaking, he raised his sleeves and got up, which can be regarded as the end of this early dynasty.

On the way back to Weiyang Palace from Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Qi Hua Chongyuan and the delicate palace maids around him talked and laughed, "Did you just see that Liu Lao'er crying?" I cried all morning, but I was suffocated. I can't hear others crying, if only a beauty cried, the pear blossom with the rain is also moving, but it is an ancient old man with tears and snot. ”

The palace maids snuggled up to the sides, laughing non-stop, and said in a soft tone, "Your Majesty has worked hard." ”

"Your Majesty, let the slave help you go~"

"Your Majesty, your breakfast is useless."

"Yes, yes, it's all to blame on this Liu Lao'er, my breakfast is useless, and I'm hungry."

Hua Chongyuan was indulging in the gentle township, and he didn't want to bump into someone.

"Father." Hua Chenghan walked towards him, with a standard charming smile, but he almost startled Hua Chongyuan, who was still dancing with his eyebrows.

"Yo." Hua Chongyuan put away the smile on his face, shook off the maid's hand, and said, "How do you take this road today?" ”

"Father, today is the birthday of the mother's concubine, and the sons want to come and see the mother's concubine today." Hua Chenghan is neither humble nor arrogant, still kind and pleasant, a pair of pleasing peach blossom eyes are slightly lowered, which is even brighter than the begonias behind him.

"I inadvertently bumped into my father, and I asked my father to forgive my son's inconsiderateness."

"Alright, you can go. Just pay more attention in the future. After Hua Chongyuan finished speaking, he led the palace maids away. There is no shortage of palace maids in that group of people who look back to watch the play, sighing, and talking to each other, it's not too blatant.

The little follower who followed Hua Chenghan immediately scolded, "These little sluts will gossip." ”

"Flowing wind, don't lie." Hua Chenghan looked at Emperor Qi who was going away, and unfolded a bamboo fan with a "bang", fanning the breeze, and there was a little more light mockery in his beautiful eyes.

"I know, master, but the wind just can't get used to it," the little follower's tongue couldn't be released, so he opened his teeth and danced his claws. "I really want to beat up everyone who speaks ill of my master......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was hit hard by a fan on the top of his head.

"Almost. When the prince comes, don't tell him what you just did. ”

"Got it, master." Liufeng touched his head and said.

That Liufeng is not tall, he looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is also a teenager when he thinks about it, and he is a little aggrieved by Hua Chenghan's lesson, "In the future, Liufeng will become stronger and beat up all the people who say bad things about you." ”

Hua Chenghan smiled but did not speak.

It didn't take long for a little boy about eight or nine years old, dressed in a python suit and wearing a golden crown to come over with tears on his face, and when he saw Hua Chenghan, he threw himself into his arms and cried.

"Cheng Ming, look up and show my brother." Hua Chenghan gently stroked Hua Chengming's head.

Hua Chengming raised his head, tears all over his face. Hua Chenghan took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, and led him to the late queen's bedroom.

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and they came in droves as if they had made an appointment.

Hua Chenghan took him to offer incense to the queen, and then walked out, letting Hua Chengming and his biological mother wait quietly for a while.

"Forgot the task I gave you?" Hua Chenghan on the side of the flow of the air channel.

Liufeng hurriedly agreed, and after a few light strokes on the roof beam, he disappeared.

Hua Chenghan unhurriedly held up an umbrella, and the bamboo umbrella with blue and white porcelain color was very elegant in the drizzle.

The sound of the rain began to increase, and the flowers and plants in full bloom gradually fell into mud.

Hua Chenghan looked into the distance, as if his mind was no longer here.
