The next day, the Imperial Garden was still filled with the sound of opera troupes singing.
Yingping closed his eyes and shook his head, immersed in it. Ye Changshan and Chen Jinjue stood on both sides behind him.
Compared with Ye Changshan's anger yesterday, today Ye Changshan seemed to be assimilated by Yingping. He stood behind the chair and watched the wonderful show on the stage intently, his whole attention was attracted.
Chen Jinjue looked at Ye Changshan's entranced look and smiled disdainfully, thinking that this person was not immune to the vulgarity after all. Yesterday he was just and right, but now he discovered the fun in just one day? cut--
A few feet away from Yingping, a minister was standing with a respectful bow. He raised his hands above his head and did not even dare to raise his head. Faced with Yingping's indifference, he seemed to He didn't mind at all, he just waited quietly, not daring to disturb Yingping's interest in watching the theater. Looking at the minister's raised hands, I found that the thing he was holding was not the gold ingot that Ying Ping threw out yesterday when he humiliated the old woman. What was it?
"Good - good singing - reward!" After the play, Yingping clapped his hands and praised loudly.
"Come here—reward—" Chen Jinjue shouted sharply, signaling to the eunuchs standing far away to bring the silver reward.
"Changshan—" Yingping turned to Ye Changshan and said.
"I'm here!" Ye Changshan took a step forward.
"This play is indeed a good one. Let the foster father and Yiyi come to the palace to listen to it someday, so that they can be sure..." At this point, Yingping suddenly paused. He saw the minister standing aside, like Suddenly, he realized that there was another person here. He frowned slightly and asked seriously: "Who is here?"
"The humble minister Liu Zhiqing bows to your Majesty!" After saying that, the man knelt down.
"Master Liu?" Yingping's voice was neither loud nor soft, and he could not hear any emotion. He glanced at the gold ingots held by Liu Zhiqing's hands, then moved his eyes elsewhere and said softly: "Mr. Liu If you don't go to deal with government affairs, why are you here in my garden?"
"Wei ministers are here to apologize!" Liu Zhiqing kowtows his head, his words of repentance are quite sincere.
"Oh? What's Mr. Liu's crime?"
"Yesterday, Your Majesty went out in disguise to rescue the little girl... She was the granddaughter of the guilty minister."
"Yesterday?"
Yingping pretended to remember, as if he had completely forgotten what happened yesterday.
Ye Changshan couldn't help but feel funny when he saw that Yingping was pretending again. His acting skills were no less than those of the actors on the stage. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is the one you rescued from the traffickers yesterday." Sugar girl..."
"Oh - Tang'er! I remembered it! That little girl was so cute, I felt destined for it as soon as I saw it, and I liked her very much! What? Who is that little girl, Mr. Liu's? Granddaughter?" Yingping looked like he suddenly understood. appearance.
"Your Majesty, Tang'er is indeed the granddaughter of the guilty minister. Tang'er fell into the hands of thieves and was saved by the Holy One. She also received the favor of the Holy One. The guilty minister... the guilty minister..."
"Stop, stop, stop - I still don't understand, where does the 'sin' that Mr. Liu talks about come from?"
"The foolish woman in the sinner's house has eyes but cannot recognize the real dragon! It offends the power of God! The sinner punished her yesterday, and the arrogant maid who relied on favors was also punished and kicked out of the house, so I came here today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Liu Zhiqing knocked his forehead to the ground for a long time and did not dare to lift it up. Yingping first looked at the trembling Liu Zhiqing, and then glanced at Ye Changshan. However, there was no dignity in his eyes at this time, instead he was filled with pride. color.
Seeing Yingping showing off his power, Ye Changshan couldn't help but admire him and gave a thumbs up secretly.
It turned out that after parting with Chang Xiaotian yesterday, Ye Changshan asked Yingping in confusion, even if he didn't like the woman and wanted to humiliate her, why would he waste gold and silver? Besides, they didn’t know whose mansion this was. It would be better for them to throw the gold ingot into the water, so that they could still make a sound.
After hearing this, Yingping smiled slightly and explained in a leisurely manner that he had two purposes for doing this: first, of course, he wanted to regain some place in front of that ungrateful woman; second, and more importantly, that woman At first glance, he felt that the general of Shence Camp had some background, and he seemed to have some abilities. He did this with the purpose of subduing this person. As for the identity of the owner of this mansion, he would know it within a day.
Seeing that Yingping was so confident, Ye Changshan naturally expressed his doubts, so the two made a bet to see if the identity of the master of the palace could be revealed within twelve hours. At this time, seeing Liu Zhiqing coming to plead guilty, Ye Changshan expressed his sincerity.
Yingping just left Liu Zhiqing aside as if no one was around. After an unknown amount of time, he stood up from his chair, walked to Liu Shangshu, and stretched out his hand to help him up.
Liu Zhiqing looked at Yingping with confusion. Seeing a slight smile on Yingping's peaceful face, he stood up cautiously.
"Those who don't know are not guilty. Mr. Liu, there is no need to panic." Yingping said with a smile.
"Wei Chen——" Liu Zhiqing looked like he was crying with gratitude. He didn't know whether he was sincere or just making fun of him. In short, he looked very pious. He said: "Your Majesty, I am here to return this gold to you..."
"Oh, just keep this gold."
"I am ashamed of myself..."
"Just think of it as a gift from me to Liu Aiqing's precious granddaughter."
"Then I would like to express my gratitude to the Lord for my granddaughter's grace!"
After saying that, Liu Zhiqing knelt down again.
"But -" Yingping changed the topic, and his tone suddenly became stern, saying: "I heard that Zhang Erquan is a habitual criminal! He came out of your Penal Department prison several times without being exposed. I heard that he has a huge backing. Is this possible? "
"I don't know! But if this happens, I will never condone it!" Liu Zhiqing was still kneeling on the ground. Faced with Yingping's sudden accountability, he felt a little unprepared.
"At this time, I order you to thoroughly investigate within three days! If there are any accomplices, they will be punished! If it is not done thoroughly, I..." Yingping paused, and then said: "I will definitely report it to my mother. You punish me severely!"
"yes!"
"Go down, I want to watch a show."
"Wei Chen resigns——"
Liu Zhiqing carefully stepped back and walked outside the garden, where he finally straightened up. He stretched his sore waist and scolded his wife severely in his heart. At the same time, he thought: It seems that he is indeed too mean to his wife. Alas, otherwise, how could the Holy Father see his wife like this? A freshman scandal?
He shook his head and walked to the house helplessly.
...
Yingping looked at Ye Changshan with a look of dismay on his face. Seeing Liu Zhiqing walking away, he couldn't wait to mention the 'bet' yesterday——
"How's it going? Are you convinced?"
"I accept it! I accept it!"
"Then don't go back on your word!" Seeing that Ye Changshan was quite happy to admit it, Yingping chased after him.
"Well..." Ye Changshan hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Yingping's impatient look, he finally nodded: "Okay, no problem."
"Seriously?" Yingping felt that Ye Changshan's agreement was a bit too casual.
"really!"
"Okay! See you there at sunset tomorrow!"
"See you there or not!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Another day passed.
Under someone's eager anticipation, the sunset finally gradually set.
As night falls, the Weishui River becomes noisy again.
Yingping walked leisurely on the road humming a little song. He was in a very good mood at this time. He kept talking all the way, talking about the girl in Lanqiufang and Liu Zhiqing.
Ye Changshan just had a coping look on his face. No matter what Yingping said, he nodded and said yes. It was obvious that he had something going on in his heart.
Feeling Ye Changshan's absent-mindedness, Yingping suddenly stopped and punched Ye Changshan's arm hard.
Ye Changshan was looking around when he was suddenly punched by Yingping and felt a pain in his arm.
"What are you doing?" Ye Changshan asked dissatisfied.
"Did you hear me talking to you along the way?" Yingping was very angry. Who in the past few years has not listened respectfully to what he has said? Now that he was suddenly ignored, he felt very unhappy.
"Ah? I heard it, I heard it, I heard it all." Apparently, Ye Changshan was still perfunctory.
"Then what I said just now about Liu Zhiqing's daughter-in-law, did you hear it?"
"Daughter-in-law? What happened to his daughter-in-law?" Ye Changshan naturally heard Yingping's words in one ear and out the other. When he saw Yingping suddenly mentioning a person who had nothing to do with him, he felt confused.
"Do you know who his daughter-in-law is?" Yingping was still patient.
"Who is his daughter-in-law?" Ye Changshan thought for a moment, and then said matter-of-factly: "Isn't his daughter-in-law Tang'er's mother?"
Yingping put his hands on his hips and slumped, with helplessness written all over his face.
"What's wrong?"
Ying Ping calmed down and said seriously: "Do you know who Liu Zhiqing's in-laws are?"
"have no idea."
"Chang Zhishan, General Chang."
Hearing the words 'Chang Zhishan', Ye Changshan, who was originally a little distracted, fell completely into a daze. After a brief thought, he asked in a shocked tone: "Chang Zhishan and Liu Zhiqing are in-laws? Then. ..Then...'Xiao Dingguo'?"
Yingping nodded.
"It turns out it's him..." Ye Changshan said, cupping his chin.
Chang Xiaotian's name may not be that loud, but everyone knows the name of 'Xiao Dingguo'. After Xu Younian left Tianmen Pass, Beiman thought that his nemesis was gone and his life would be much easier. Even the people of the New Tang Dynasty thought so. Unexpectedly, the son of General Chang Zhishan ran to Tianmen Pass, took over Xu Younian's mantle, and continued to suppress the Northern Barbarians. His ferocity and sturdiness were no less than Yu Xu Younian himself.
Ye Changshan related the impression that Chang Xiaotian left on him when they first met the day before yesterday with the famous "Xiao Dingguo", and he finally understood where the bandit spirit in this general came from.
"But why does Chang Xiaotian have this imitation jade pendant on him? Besides, it seems that this jade pendant is still his personal belongings..."
Thinking of this, Yingping fell into confusion again. He originally thought that knowing Chang Xiaotian's identity would make everything clearer, but now he is getting more and more confused.
Could it be that Chang Zhishan still has something to do with his mother? It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask my adoptive father about this matter. The relationship between people of the previous generation is really complicated——
Forget it, let’s not dig in. I haven’t settled my relationship with Miss Zhitang yet, so how can I have time to study them in depth?
Yingping shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to the present, and refocused his attention on the brightly lit boat.
"Let's go, don't think so much, we have to live in the present!" Yingping pulled the sleeves of Ye Changshan, only to find that Ye Changshan was still stuck in place, with no intention of leaving. Seeing Ye Changshan standing as steady as a pine tree, Yingping asked suspiciously: "What? Are you trying to cheat?"
"Wait for someone, right away..."
Waiting for someone? Seeing Ye Changshan stretching his neck and looking around, he seemed to be waiting for someone, but seeing his anxious and slightly expectant expression, Yingping felt something was wrong.
Before Yingping could ask who was waiting for him, Ye Changshan suddenly became excited, like a puppy that had been away from its owner for a long time and suddenly saw a familiar figure. Although this puppy couldn't speak, everything about him was still there. Every part and every movement expresses joy.
"Coming, coming!" Ye Changshan pointed to the right, then waved there.
As the night grew darker, Yingping stared hard and tried hard to identify who was coming. He looked carefully in the direction pointed by Ye Changshan, and saw a handsome young man in brocade robes and jade crown, with a face as smooth as gelatin, waving a fan. Walking towards him with a smile.
Yingping's expression became extremely rich. In the short time when the young master walked from far to near, shock, confusion, doubt, ignorance and even a hint of absurdity were all displayed and transformed on Yingping's face, just like Sichuan Opera. The face-changing trick is generally wonderful.
'Shua——'
After walking in front of the two of them, the young master put away the folding fan in his hand. Seeing Yingping's confused look, she playfully tapped his chest with the folding fan in her hand.
This knock seemed to wake Yingping up, and he quickly said sternly with a straight face——
"Nonsense!"
"Hmph - you don't want me to go, but I have to go!" Yiyi said nonchalantly, turning her head to the other side, not intending to listen to her brother's words.
"Is this the person you're waiting for?" Yingping turned to question Ye Changshan.
Ye Changshan didn't care at all about Yingping's "unreasonable" expression, and nodded crazily at Yingping.
I asked you why you agreed so simply. It turns out that you had already tipped off and got permission! Ying Ping looked at the two people who were working together, and secretly made up his mind that he would never do anything wrong based on the two of them.
"You! Go back!" Yingping pointed at Yiyi and ordered.
"I don't-" Yiyi seemed to have understood her brother's weakness and replied forcefully: "If I don't go to Changshan, brother can't go either!"
"You——" Ying Ping's head was suddenly full of black lines.
There is no reason to take a beautiful girl with a yellow flower to visit a brothel! ? Yingping felt even more ridiculous, but looking at Ye Changshan who was still nodding and not planning to stop, he felt that there was nothing he could do. When he was in a dilemma, he stamped his foot fiercely, waved his hand and shouted——
“Go, go, go—go!”
