Although Xiao Rui didn't have time to think about dealing with Xiaoxiao, the Emperor Taishang said that this money has to be earned, and being idle is also idle, so it should be fun. You don't tell outsiders, but your family is anxious to listen, and Xiao Rui is forced to talk about more chapters at home every day. Pei Lin specially arranged for someone to record and copy it in preparation for the publication of the book.

Xiangcheng, Changle and others wrote to complain, saying that they read the transcribed version and did not listen to the wonderful lectures on the spot, but it was a pity that the queen was strict and could not come out to live outside.

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, yes, it's better to read than to listen to books! You have to be literate to read books, but in this era, there are many illiterate people everywhere, and most of them are illiterate.

So he found Pei Lian, and together with the three of them, they decided to open a large storytelling teahouse in the east and west cities of Chang'an City, collect tickets and sell seats, and specialize in talking about Journey to the West.

Within a few days, the entire Chang'an City once again blew a gust of wind from the west, this time up to the princes and nobles, down to the common people, and the streets and alleys were all enthusiastically discussing the story of the journey to the west.

(Let's take a realistic example, the earliest popular TV series in the mainland should be the 83 version of Condor Shooting, how popular was it at the beginning?) Every night, the electricity is insufficient, the countryside is out of power, and many villages have come up with various ways to generate electricity, such as tractors with diesel power, manpower pedaling bicycles to generate electricity, and so on...... There is also a fire and explosion in a fertilizer factory in the author's local area, and it is said that the workers were all obsessed with watching the eagle shooting, and their dereliction of duty led to a major safety accident. ）

"How many people are on leave today? That Journey to the West is so attractive? Can't I buy a book and read it back, I'd rather put down my official duties than listen to books? Li Er said he was very depressed.

Lao Gao explained: "The book is slow to come out, and the quantity is limited, and many people can't buy it even if they have money. Many princes and nobles are circulating and reading, and it is said that some people's books are queuing up until next month. ”

Next Month???

Li Er asked with a dark face, "Have you been to Xiao Rui's newly opened teahouse?" ”

The waiter shook his head, "The slave has always been by His Majesty's side and has never been there." However, I heard that the two storytellers taught by the master are very eloquent, and listening to them tell stories is different from reading books, as if they are in the scene, which is more interesting. ”

Is it?

"Today is half a day off, let's make arrangements, let's go to the teahouse to taste tea."

"Yes, the slave and maid will arrange it. Do you want to inform the horse? It is said that the teahouse is full every day, and reservations are required to get a seat. ”

Li Er frowned, he didn't want to notify, but if he didn't notify, he wouldn't have a seat......

"Don't inform that kid, just find a way to arrange a normal seat."

Lao Gao had no choice but to let people do it, and spent money to buy two high-priced scalper tickets. When he came to the teahouse, Li Er regretted it after a stick of incense, it was too crowded, he spent so much money, and he was especially a standing ticket? It's not just a standing ticket, it's the kind that doesn't touch the ground. When I looked up, there were still people listening to books on the railings upstairs.

The only good thing is that no matter what posture everyone comes, everyone tries to keep quiet, even if their feet don't touch the ground, they can't bear to make a sound, and the whole teahouse can clearly hear the man talking.

"Whew...... It's calculated! What do you do? Can't even get a seat? ”

"The slave is guilty, we are late, those who have seats don't care about the money, and the subordinates haven't been there, I don't know if there is a standing ticket, I think it's ......"

"That's it, go back to the palace!"

Although he was dissatisfied with the environment this time, Li Er was the first time to experience the life of the people at such a close distance, and the on-site listening was really lively and exciting, scolding on his lips, but he was not angry in his heart.

But Lao Gao has been worried, in this case, if there is an assassin with bad intentions, it will be over.

Back in the palace, Li Er was thinking, "Xiao Rui, this kid is really a scourge, you can't let him be idle, and if he is idle, he will cause trouble." It's just a matter of opening a bullshit teahouse to make money, but it hooks my civil and military officials so much that they can't go to court. No, we have to find a way to clean up this scourge. Or, throw him out? Let him scourge elsewhere? Staying in Chang'an, maybe when you hook up with other women again. A colt really has three wives and four concubines, where does my old face go? ”

"Someone, call the Chang'an County Order."

Not long after, Chang'an County ordered Liu Renliang to come by order.

"Liu County Order, has the murder case on Suzaku Street been solved last year?"

Yes? Last year's homicide? Which one is it? Liu Renliang almost didn't react.

He looked up cautiously and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is asking about Li Xiaochang's son?" ”

"Apart from this, is there anyone else who dares to kill people on Suzaku Street?" Li Er asked.

Liu Renliang was puzzled: "Your Majesty, then Li Xiaochang's family was killed because of rebellion, and the plaintiff is gone, so it seems that there is no point in tracking down the murderer." In addition, I learned from the watchman that the cause was that Li Xiaochang's son was arrogant and wanted to hit someone with a carriage, but he kicked the iron plate, offended the master and was killed. From this point of view, the person who shot was measured and would not endanger the safety of Chang'an, so Wechen closed the case internally. ”

Bang!

"Confused, Suzaku Street kills people on the street, there is no king's law, this is a slap in the face of my court. As the commander of Chang'an County, how can you fool things? Li Er shot the case and shouted angrily.

"Weichen is confused, please forgive your majesty." Liu Renliang trembled, and said in his heart, how could it be? At first, it seemed that you were hinting to me that I wanted to make a big thing small.

"Go back and check it out, I have some clues here, you go and interrogate it properly." Li Er asked Lao Gao to send Liu Renliang out, and on the way, Lao Gao said what the emperor meant, and Liu Renliang understood.

So the next morning, Xiao Rui was summoned to the Chang'an County Ya by a piece of paper.

Looking at the arrogant figure standing in the hall, Liu Renliang secretly complained, this is his idol Xiao Yushi, I didn't expect the official meeting to be such a scene?

Although Xiao Rui has been promoted to the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple and the fourth official, the people have always remembered the well-known name and enthusiastically called Xiao Yushi.

"Liu County's order, right? What is looking for me? Xiao Rui didn't lose his temper and asked normally.

Liu Renliang personally took the evidence documents and stepped down from his seat, and said respectfully: "Lord Xiao, the lower official has offended." If you look at all this evidence, it seems that it all points to the fact that you were the one who killed Li Xiaochang's son and the coachman on Suzaku Street in the first place. ”

Xiao Rui was slightly surprised, "What happened to Suzaku Street?" Li Xiaochang's family has already been killed for rebellion, is it meaningful to investigate this case? ”

Liu Renliang smiled with an embarrassed face: "Alas, the lower officials are also a last resort, for the safety of Chang'an County, it is best to find out the truth." ”

understood, you can see from the other party's expression that someone is putting pressure on him. In this Chang'an City, who else doesn't have long eyes and dares to get along with the master?

Looking down and seeing the evidence in his hand, Xiao Rui smiled, this special Suzaku Gate guard has come out to testify, it is clear that the emperor is making it bad! If you have an opinion, come directly to me, what do you mean by letting a small county order find me?

"Come on, let's be honest, I confess my guilt, I did it. What is Liu County Commander going to do with me? ”

Yes? It seemed that he didn't expect Xiao Rui to admit it so bluntly, and Liu Renliang was surprised.

came back to his senses and admired: "Lord Xiao dares to act boldly, and the lower officials are extremely impressed. Although killing that Li Yi'an is considered to be a harm for the people, the country has national laws, and you are a private murderer......"

Xiao Rui stretched out his hands directly: "Don't talk nonsense, come, torture me!" ”
