Chapter 55: The Widow Pleads to Xiangzi (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
When the news of "His Royal Highness was blackmailed for money" spread in the side courtyard, Liu He was standing in the Fuyao Palace, waiting for a suitable opportunity to appear.
"How many people have come?"
"The subordinate went and counted it just now, no more, no less, exactly a hundred people, and some people are rushing over." Dai Zong said on the side.
"Yes, well done."
Liu He not only praised Yu Wuwu and Dai Zong who were standing in the hall, but also praised Changyi Young Lang.
There are not many people that Liu He can trust, and the person who sent out to pass on these witnesses is the young man of Changyi who has only regained his freedom a few days ago.
Being able to send the news to more than 100 people in three days is really a good job, at least it can be seen that they are very hard working and attentive.
"Do these people know the purpose of the widow's trip?"
"The subordinate has asked the lacquer craftsman Zhang San to spread the news among them according to the words taught by His Highness, and I think that in a moment, everyone will know."
Liu He had some impressions of this lacquer craftsman, and he had drunk with him.
There are two lacquer craftsmen who drink, both of whom are kind and talkative people, and Zhang San has an extra ability to observe words and feelings, so it is perfect for him to do this.
Liu He asked very proudly: "Yu Langzhong, how about the widow's method, in this way, can it make everyone more angry?" ”
"Your Highness has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and can come up with such a clever method, and the subordinates admire it."
Yu Wuwu said admiration in his words, but there was a hint of ridicule in his tone, not that he did not agree with Liu He's method, but that he was a little ashamed of his pride.
Liu He often taunts Yu on weekdays, but now it is not easy to lose his temper.
"Now that the human evidence is available, how is the physical evidence prepared?"
"The accounts that have been sorted out have been put on the carriage by the subordinates."
"Okay, then go to the side hall with the widow now, and let the people's hearts boil again."
"Yui!"
Liu He and the others walked all the way to the side courtyard where Guan Er, Zhang San and the others were staying. But when he was about to be in front of the door, Liu He stopped under the porch again.
Liu He removed the high-spirited expression on his face, replaced it with a bitter and hateful look, and kept rubbing his eyes with his hands, and by the way, he messed up his bundled hair.
In just a few breaths, Liu He's whole person looked tired and embarrassed.
The two friends and colleagues behind him with very different personalities also had very different expressions on their faces.
Dai Zong's face had become distorted from the laughter.
Yu's carefree brows have wrinkled because of helplessness.
"How is the widow's face now, but is it embarrassing?" Liu He asked in a false voice.
"His Highness does look embarrassed at the moment, but the subordinates do not approve of His Highness's approach." Yu Wuwu said with some dissatisfaction.
"No, no, no, the subordinates think that His Highness's method is very good." Dai Zong gave a thumbs up.
Dai Zong and Yu Wuwu are world friends, and Yu Wuwu regards Dai Zong as a brother, so it is not good to say anything at this moment, so he can only shake his head silently with a calm face.
"Well, let's go, go in with the widow."
After finishing speaking, Liu He bent his back slightly, dragging his steps and stumbling into the side courtyard.
Because Liu He entered suddenly, the people in the courtyard didn't notice it until he walked to the steps on the other side of the courtyard, and no sharp-eyed person saw him.
"Your Highness is here!"
I don't know who shouted this, but the people gathered in this side courtyard saw Liu He, who was a little lost and depressed, and quickly knelt down.
Suddenly, the entire courtyard fell to its knees.
"The villain asks His Highness Hello."
Liu He said in a somewhat weak voice: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy. ”
A few bold men whispered to each other, and finally slowly stood up.
The rest of the people saw that someone was taking the lead, and they also stood up with a cheer.
Before people could clean the dirt and dust on their bodies, Liu He did something that made everyone present panic.
With the sound of "plop", Liu He knelt down directly in front of everyone.
Although kneeling in the Han Dynasty was still very common, and the above bowing was not shocking, the difference between Liu He and the status of the people in this courtyard was too far.
So much so that no one was able to come back to their senses.
Even Yu Wuwu, who had been sneering at Liu He's behavior, was a little panicked and wanted to go up and help Liu He up.
But before he could take a step, Dai Zong beside him dragged him.
Dai Zong shook his head lightly and stopped him with his eyes.
At this time, the stunned people finally woke up and quickly knelt down again.
"Your Highness, why is this?"
"Your Highness, torture the old man!"
"Your Highness, by all means!"
……
There are even more people who are not good at talking, and they directly bowed to Liu He.
The whole side courtyard was lively for a while, as if a big opera was being sung.
I'm afraid that Liu He's crazy reputation will have more points.
"Everyone, get up quickly, and listen to the widow first." Liu He said with a hint of anxiety.
"Your Highness can't afford it, and we won't get up either!"
"Yes, if Your Highness doesn't get up, we don't dare to get up!"
Liu He hurriedly stood up, walked into the crowd, and helped all the oldest old people in the crowd up.
"The widow is crazy, and everyone is shocked, hurry up, hurry up!"
Under Liu He's three invitations and five invitations, everyone stood up.
He didn't say anything, but under the word of mouth of Zhang San and Guan Er, under this shocking kneeling, many things were self-evident.
Liu He sighed and said to the people in front of him: "The widow is not good, the kings of the Lie Lie, when he was young, he was crazy, and he brought a lot of pain to your countrymen. ”
These words are half-true, but they speak to the hearts of these simple people.
"Be cautious of people's mistakes and think more about people's kindness", this is the advantage of the Han people, but also the shortcomings of the Han people.
Everyone has gradually forgotten the "Changyi harm" two years ago, and there is only this kind of Changyi King who is a little unruly but kind-hearted in their hearts.
Therefore, Liu He's words were naturally taken as heartfelt words.
"Although the widow is a king, he lost his father at the age of three, and his mother at the age of five, and there are no relatives around him.
"Except for this empty palace, the widow is no different from the orphans adopted by the widow."
"Therefore, the widow is the king of Changyi, and it is also the child of Changyi, and all the villagers are naturally the relatives of the widow!"
"When outsiders hear these words, they will laugh at the insanity, but they are really heartfelt."
If Liu He was just for show at first, but when he said this, he had already brought in his emotions, so the more he talked about it, the more emotional he became, and in the end, he really choked up.
Liu He choked up, and even the people with those simple cloth clothes also had red eyes.
Those old women kept wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes with their cuffs.
Great compassion is followed by great hatred.
The people who were moved couldn't help but think of the incident just discussed.
The orphan who bullied His Royal Highness, Tian is not stingy, he is not even as good as a pig and a dog, and he should be thrown into the dung pit to be an adult!
Renbi is not necessarily a good thing, but it is also a specialty of Dahan!
"Your Highness, don't say it, we all know why you called us, you just have to speak!"
"Yes, just speak!"
Zhang San, who was hiding in the corner, shouted on tiptoe, and his words attracted everyone's echo.
