There is a teahouse in the downtown of Beijing, called "the round place", the guests are full every day, the seats are full, and you can enter the gold every day.

It's not the refreshments that attract tea drinkers, it's the storytellers.

The storyteller here is nicknamed "Zhang Qiankun". Although he is not good-looking, he is well versed in ancient and modern times, has a sharp mouth, and his mouth is like a river, and he can speak well.

A slap of wood in his hand, ancient and modern anecdotes, the secrets of the past dynasties, and tell the story. is accustomed to pulling pretenses, stuck points, and the plot has ups and downs, which makes the audience drunk and obsessed, stretching their necks and glaring, and exclamations come and go. Especially the long storytelling, it seduces the listeners so much that they don't have a decline in their hearts, they don't think about tea, they don't want to eat, and they can't wait to stay in this teahouse.

In the past few days, rumors have spread in Beijing, and this "round place" is full of tea customers, and the seats are full.

Zhang Qiankun held a folding fan, unfolded or folded, and told a love story with a heartfelt heart.

The protagonist of the story is the queen of a certain dynasty, and the famous young general of the world, who does not name or give his surname, and listens to the guests to sit down by themselves, so as not to eat lawsuits.

“...... The queen and the young general were originally childhood sweethearts, and the two had no guesses, and the young general was even more for the queen to go to the frontier, bravely kill the enemy, and build this immortal feat. It's a pity that by mistake, the queen entered the palace and became someone else's concubine, a high wall, is the end of the world. The two of them have met in court several times, and they can only sigh and sigh secretly, and make people happy.

Now, finally, the queen found an excuse to keep the tomb and do her filial piety out of the palace, and the two of them said goodbye in front of the mausoleum.

Let's say that in the woods, there is silence, the two hold hands and look at each other with tears, endless lovesickness, endless lovesickness tears, some ear and sideburns, and once again swear an alliance, private for life. It can be described as a lonely man and a widow, an infatuated general, a romantic queen, and a sunny spring, and that love for a concubine ......"

Everyone in the audience listened attentively, and suddenly heard a person in the corner "poof" laughing, leaning forward and leaning back.

Everyone's eyes were all attracted, and the storyteller Zhang Qiankun was slightly annoyed, slapped the startled wood in his hand, and pointed at the girl who was laughing wantonly: "What are you laughing at?" ”

The girl finally stopped laughing, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said without hurrying: "Naturally, I laughed at you for being ridiculous and talking nonsense, but everyone still believed it and sighed for a long time." ”

Zhang Qiankun was so angry that his goatee curled: "The child is so stubborn, what a big breath." ”

The girl took a sip of the bowl of tea in her hand slowly, and glanced at Zhang Qiankun: "You have a nose and eyes, as if you have seen it with your own eyes, and I don't know who is talking about it." Who are you talking about, everyone knows it, let's open the window and say bright words, since the queen moved in, there are still slaves and maids in the palace to serve each other, all of them are the emperor's eyes and ears, how can the two of them be so blatant? Besides, the maple forest is not close to the idle people, how did you know? made up nonsense, grandstanding, and tarnished the queen's reputation. ”

Zhang Qiankun saw that this little girl was arguing with the truth, and it was clear that she was here to smash the field, and he was not merciful, as soon as his mouth opened and closed, he could say that he was dead.

"Girl, Lao Er has stated before he said that it is the history of the former government and the opposition, and there is no historical research, if you are willing to listen to the book, listen quietly, if you don't want to, there is a teahouse on the other side, where it is clean.

But if you have to sit down and argue right and wrong, Lao Er will not be afraid to tell you the truth. There were only two people around our Empress Chang'an at that time, one was a girl from the General's Mansion at the beginning, and she was in cahoots with the queen. The other person is a father-in-law from the palace, named Chu Jiu. As for the Fenglin guards, they are all General Chu's own cronies, and everyone understands the doorways and mysteries by themselves, and the old man doesn't say much. ”

Everyone sighed "oh" and whispered: "I see." ”

The little girl didn't argue, and nodded admiringly: "I didn't expect you to be so clear that you can even call your name." ”

Zhang Qiankun snorted coldly: "Who in Beijing doesn't know Zhang Qiankun, how can I ever have a false word in my mouth?" I said that the book is well-founded and has my own way of information, and it is by no means a waste of fame. ”

The little girl nodded solemnly: "It is said that you can hear first-hand stories about the queen in this round place, it seems that the rumors are true, Zhang Qiankun, you really know everything very well." ”

Zhang Qiankun listened to the little girl's softness, a trace of pride appeared on his face, and he boasted complacently: "There is only one family in the capital, who can have me well-informed?" ”

The listeners in the hall were anxious to listen to the book, and urged impatiently: "Hurry up, what do you have to talk to a yellow-haired girl who has not dried up?" ”

Zhang Qiankun took a sip of tea unhurriedly and continued to speak: "Let's say that the queen and the young general are in one place, day and night, upside down, unscrupulous......"

The little girl laughed out loud again.

Zhang Qiankun didn't want to deal with her, glared at her fiercely, and continued to paint: "The emperor in the Forbidden City doesn't know that the queen lied to him to keep filial piety to his father, but in fact, he was trying to mess with his lover.....

The little girl couldn't help it, and slapped the table with joy: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" ”

This time finally aroused the anger of the public, and they condemned one after another: "Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, it is interesting, and the shopkeeper is not looking for anyone to drive her out!" ”

Everyone, you say a word to me, and you are full of righteous indignation. The little girl laughed to herself, and said loudly: "You old man really know how to make things up, and your skills in spreading rumors and making trouble are first-class." You only know that there were maidservants and eunuchs in the forest at that time, but you don't know that there is another person who is also there. ”

Zhang Qiankun was stunned: "Who?" ”

"That person is the fiancée who has been married to the young general Chu Mubai since childhood. This time, I heard that Chu Mubai returned to Beijing, so he traveled thousands of miles to the capital and took refuge in them. You think, everyone else's fiancée is here, how can you be so unscrupulous as you say? ”

The tea guests were stunned, this news was really exciting and unheard of.

Zhang Qiankun is also a person who has seen the world, and when he heard the little girl's refutation, his face was not red and his heart did not beat: "The little girl's words are conclusive, as if she has seen it with her own eyes." Who can prove that you are not grandstanding? ”

The little girl smiled "hee-hee": "It's very simple, that Chu Mubai was angry by the emperor and punished him for patrolling the city every day, and he would be followed by a deputy, that is, the girl dressed as a man." The two of them are so good that they are inseparable, and the people in Beijing should all see each other in person. ”

At that time, Chu Mubai and Qiu Zijin, who was dressed as a man, followed Lu Bo's clues, and were busy in Beijing non-stop, swaggering through the market every day, and the people in Beijing did see many with their own eyes.

At this time, someone stood up, pointed at the little girl and shouted excitedly: "I know you, you are the fiancée who disguised herself as a man and has been following Chu Mubai, right?" ”

The little girl is Qiu Zijin. She was not shy at all, and smiled brightly: "Indeed." I live in the same room with the queen mother in the forest, my brother Mubai and the queen mother obey the rules and are innocent, who would have thought that he would make it so unbearable. ”

Zhang Qiankun saw that the field was smashed, and smiled coldly: "It turned out to be a nest of snakes and rats, and I was instructed to come here to correct my name." ”

Qiu Zijin took the case, was furious, pointed at Zhang Qiankun and scolded loudly: "You enemy country spy, do you think I don't know your conspiracy? You set fire to the maple forest, mutilated the lives of the guards of the ninth class, and wanted to put General Chu and Niangniang to death, but fortunately, God blessed Chang'an, and we escaped death and saved Niangniang's life.

You can't make a plan, and you have another plan, deliberately spread rumors, and fabricate the scandal between General Chu and the queen's mother, don't you just want the emperor to be angry with General Chu and dismiss his officials, and then you can wave your army to attack my Chang'an, causing my Chang'an family to be ruined. Ill-intentioned, wolf-like ambition, everyone has to be punished!

But you don't know that General Chu is a bright and bright person, and the emperor and the queen are deeply in love and affectionate, how can they believe the rumors you deliberately created! Today, I will arrest you, hand you over to Dali Temple for interrogation, and make your conspiracy public. ”

As soon as Qiu Zijin's voice fell, everyone was shocked. If you talk about personal grievances, everyone in the world has nothing to do with themselves, and at most they will watch the excitement from the sidelines. However, when this enemy country is talked about, it is related to the hatred of the country and the family, but it makes everyone hate the enemy. The tea drinkers in the room believed it almost immediately.

As Qiu Zijin said, the rumors are vigorous, if the emperor is angry, isn't it necessarily to condemn Chu Mubai, dismiss the official and cut off his head, and relieve the anger in his heart? Chang'an has no Chu Mubai, and it is the wolf ambition of the surrounding enemy countries!

Zhang Qiankun saw that the big thing was not good, and he wanted to quibble: "Nonsense, I'm just an ordinary storyteller, where is the spy of the enemy country!" You can't just climb around! ”

Qiu Zijin smiled coldly: "You are not a spy, so how do you know clearly about the deployment in the mausoleum of the protector general, and where does your news channel come from?" The queen bluntly recommended Chu Mubai last year, and broke the Xiliang conspiracy, causing you to be defeated, and you are unscrupulous to get rid of the queen. Right or wrong, you go to Dali Temple and say it! ”

There was a jumble of footsteps outside the door, and the man stumbled in, shouting in panic: "The officers and soldiers are coming." ”

Zhang Qiankun knew that the disaster came out of his mouth, and immediately turned around and wanted to escape, Zijin flicked his fingers, and a peanut hit the crook of his leg, and with a "poof", he fell forward.

The tea guests reacted and said indignantly: "Catch him, don't let him run away!" ”

A man who was close to the platform immediately kicked over the table, stepped forward, and pressed the Qiankun firmly there.

Qiu Zijin clapped his hands and applauded: "Beat him up with a bruised nose and swollen face raised by a son of a bitch, and then send him to Dali Temple after relieving his anger." ”

Everyone rushed up indignantly, and pressed Zhang Qiankun to the ground with all hands and feet. Qiu Zijin was relieved and applauded loudly.

The officers and soldiers swarmed in, separated the crowd, and arrested Zhang Qiankun, who had been beaten beyond recognition, and the owner of the teahouse. Several people shouted injustice, beat their chests and feet, and regretted it.

After the interrogation on the same day, without severe torture, Zhang Qiankun cried and confessed to his mother, saying that someone had bribed him with a lot of money, and he was greedy for money for a while, and he was blinded by lard. As for who was behind the scenes, there was no clue.

This news was far more powerful than those rumors, and it immediately swept the streets and alleys of the capital at a rapid speed, suppressing the original rumors.

No one dared to spread rumors about Yuehua anymore, lest if they were accidentally reported by others, they would be infamous as "spies", go down to the prison of Dali Temple, and eat a lawsuit like Zhang Qiankun.

And the arson case of Fenglin, which has been widely discussed, has also been said with conspiracy again, and the story of a young general bravely fighting the enemy country and spying on the spies of the enemy country and desperately covering the queen's escape from death is brewing again in the capital. At the beginning, Xiliang's great victory was brought up again because of Yuehua's admonition to turn defeat into victory, and Chu Mubai's prestige was crowned with the halo of heroism and righteousness.

The people in the capital also began to pray that Yuehua would wake up as soon as possible.
