On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"It's these two noble people who want to listen to the book."

Shopkeeper Qi introduced the storyteller to the regent and princess.

"My lord, this storyteller is Mr. Zou from Mingxiangju. When he tells stories, the seats are always full and he is famous all over the capital."

Shopkeeper Qi spent fifty taels of silver to hire him before he was willing to come.

The storyteller has always read poetry and books, and read countless people. Seeing the popularity of these two people, he knew that they were either rich or noble.

Combined with Shopkeeper Qi's respectful attitude, it must be those two noble people.

Be dignified and just for the people.

Zou Mingming was filled with excitement in his heart, and he bowed respectfully to the two of them: "Zou Mingming, may I ask what story you would like to hear? Is it a folk tale or a rumor?"

Ning Luo looked at the storyteller, but the young man in his thirties already looked very vicissitudes of life.

"Is the name of sir unknown to begin with?"

"Back to Madam, a scholar helped me change this later." Zou Mingming explained specifically: "The scholar didn't complain if he couldn't explain it."

This deliberate explanation is to deliberately guide curiosity.

And if we are ordinary people, how can we "unknown" have no resentment or hatred? We must find out clearly.

Xiao Ding picked up the wine cup and wanted to know what kind of medicine the storyteller was selling in his gourd. He said calmly: "Let's listen to the rumors first. It's best to be close to the truth."

He was a military general before, and he spent most of his time leading troops in wars, rarely involved in governing the country. If he wanted to take over the country in the future, he would naturally need to know more about people's livelihood and public opinion to avoid being concealed by the group of civil servants at the court.

Zou Mingming cautiously probed: "Okay, let me first tell you the recent story of the regent and the princess slaying demons and demons in Qianshan."

Ning Luo and Xiao Ding looked at each other and smiled, and asked the storyteller: "What do the people say?"

Zou Mingming then spoke carefully in a measured tone: "Ten days ago, the Imperial Preceptor set up an altar in Qianshan to display the All-Heaven Array... The regent and the princess put themselves in danger, and together they got rid of more than 500 monsters and killed the Imperial Preceptor who had brought harm to the country and the people. , later he was seriously injured and went to the Immortal Mountain to recuperate. Now, the people of Yan Kingdom are eagerly looking forward to the return of the regent to inherit the throne."

The two of them were witnesses. After hearing this, they nodded and asked him, "Let's talk about something else."

Zou Mingming tried again: "If I tell you what happened in front of the widow of the Zhang family, would you listen to me?"

Xiao Yanyan said in her belly: "There are a lot of disputes in front of the widow's door. It should be interesting. I want to listen."

This kid, don't learn from it.

Ning Luo rubbed her belly hurriedly to prevent her from interrupting.

Change the subject and ask the storyteller.

"What happened to the scholar who changed your name?"

Zhou Mingming felt happy and said calmly: "He is dead."

Ning Luo rolled her eyes: "Why did you die?"

Zou Mingming sighed sadly: "He starved to death."

Xiao Ding asked: "Is it caused by famine or poor management or the family's decline?"

"The family's money was misappropriated and the family was destroyed. None of the relatives recognized him. He was imprisoned and beaten to death because he had no way to sue him for wrongdoing." Zou Mingming's eyes were filled with sadness.

"But what happened recently?" Ning Luo asked.

"It's been more than twenty years." Zou Mingming said sadly.

Xiao Ding took a sip of his drink and said, "Have you ever told this story to others?"

"I dare not say, this story is true, and it also involves the ministers of the DPRK and China." Zou Mingming didn't want to say anything.

Hearing this, Xiao Ding frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that slandering court ministers is a serious crime?"

Zou Mingfeng knelt down and said, "Noble sir, I know that this matter is true and is absolutely no nonsense."

Ning Luo said quietly: "Get up and tell this man's story carefully. If it is true, there will be a reward."

The three children in the belly are expected to have a smooth life in the future, but they may not understand the hardships of people's livelihood. It is better to let them gain more knowledge so that they can have more experience in governing the country in the future.

"Thank you, madam." Zou Mingming stood up and said slowly: "The story of this scholar must start with a big family named Guo in Fengcheng. There are two scholars in this family. They are cousins. He studied diligently, but his cousin was greedy and lazy. Later, when the good news came, he was cut off by the greedy and lazy cousin who won the top three Jinshi. He pretended to be an official in Kyoto. "

"In order to make the marriage seamless, my cousin also took over his cousin's family property as his own. All the clan members helped this impostor and accepted the identity swap between the two. This is because the cousin has an upright character. If he is an official, he must be upright. And that cousin has always been smooth-tongued and good at flattering people, and he is highly valued by the elders. They deeply believe that if this cousin becomes an official, he will definitely support the clan members."

"Later, the cousin went to sue the officials, but he was regarded as a madman, imprisoned in the government office, and beaten to death."

Hearing this, Ning Luo and Xiao Ding were silent for a long time.

If this is true, it can be called a human tragedy.

Ning Luo, a time traveler, knew that it was possible to pretend to be an official.

What happens in modern society is that it is very similar to intercepting other people's college admission letters, pretending to go to college, and successfully entering the job of an iron rice bowl institution.

"Is this what your cousin told you?"

"Yes." Zou Mingming said: "I am his student boy. I accompanied the young master to Beijing to take the exam. When I was waiting for the results to be announced, my old mother in the country was seriously ill. The young master allowed me to go back to my hometown to visit and wait until I came back. At that time, the imposter had already gone to Kyoto to become an official, and my son had been detained in prison. I had to bribe the government servants to meet him and find out what happened. Unfortunately, I had no power and my family was extremely poor. I wanted to help him. If I don’t fall in love with the young master, I can only watch him die unjustly.”

Xiao Ding asked in a deep voice: "What is the name of the imposter and what is his official position?"

"Yes..." Zou Mingming knelt down again: "It's Mr. Guo, the Minister of War."

No wonder his two sons were so mediocre and incompetent that they still held official positions.

Xiao Ding put down the wine cup and said, "Write a complaint. If there is a chance, I will help you file a complaint against Dali Temple."
