The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Outside the Zhenbei Academy, Zhu Changyuan set up his clay figurine booth as always, and the ground was full of strange-shaped clay goods.His clay products are not exquisite enough for grown-ups, but they please children.

Before class was over, a few children slipped out to play.

His clay figurine booth was surrounded by children, and each of them picked up a clay figurine and twisted its neck to play.Seeing that the clay figurine's neck and head were separated into two parts, Zhu Changyuan said in a good temper: "This clay figurine can't stand your tossing like this. Look, its head is gone, how pitiful it is."

But the child said: "Don't lie, it is not pitiful, its head is gone, you can make another one for it. It is a dead thing, you can make as much as you want."

These children didn't listen to the master's words, refused to recite the book, and ran out, one or two were naughty and difficult to deal with.

Zhu Changyuan had no choice but to say, "I can make anything you like."

The child said: "Really? Then can you teach us, we can do it ourselves."

Zhu Changyuan said: "Of course, I can get some mud some other day, and I will teach you how to do it."

The child cheered: "That's great, next time we won't spend any money on the purchase, and we can eat strings of candied haws if we save the money."

Having lost a few deals, Zhu Changyuan was not annoyed at all, as if his temper was really gentle to the extreme, and he didn't care about these trivial matters.

The child bounced and ran away to the drum kit stand on the other side. Zhu Changyuan patiently tidied up the clay figurines damaged by the child, and a chubby child who left at the end asked him: "I don't have any money with me, can you give me a clay figurine? "

Zhu Changyuan smiled and patted the child's head: "Okay, take whichever you like."

Originally, clay figurines were cheap, and they couldn't earn a few pennies in a day. Zhu Changyuan still gave them away everywhere. I don't know if he was generous or trying to put on a good face.

After the child left, he leisurely waved his cattail fan and waited quietly for the class to end.

After Wu Xianming was taken away, the place where he used to stay next to the big tree was empty, but no one cared.Wu Xianming didn't have much sense of presence when he was here, and there is not much difference when he is not here.

After class, the outside of the classroom immediately became lively.

Some children recognized Zhu Changyuan, and even bowed to him to say hello. Zhu Changyuan smiled brightly, sold a few clay figurines, and carefully kept the money.

At this time, a very well-behaved child ran over. He squatted down in front of the clay figurine stall, picked up the clay figurine a few times, then straightened up, raised his face and smiled and asked, "Butterfly, butterfly, playing with butterflies at noon." game?"

Zhu Changyuan's face was a little stiff, he squatted down, looked at the child at the same level, and said, "Don't play, you should sleep well at noon, and don't run around."

The child pouted, very unhappy: "I haven't played for two days, I want to play..."

Zhu Changyuan said: "Didn't it rain the last two days? The weather was bad."

The child said: "It didn't rain today, so we can play today."

Zhu Changyuan wondered: "When you go back to have lunch, I'm leaving too. I'm going to sell clay goods in other schools, so I can't play with you."

The child pulled Zhu Changyuan, his big eyes fluttered: "But I really want to play..."

Zhu Changyuan said: "Then next time, next time I will play with you, okay?"

The adults say "next time" is often perfunctory, but children take it seriously, nodded happily, and said, "Next time will be the next time, oh, great, the butterfly is flying..."

"Cang'er!" A woman grabbed the child's hand and complained, "You didn't listen to your mother and ran out alone."

Cang'er shook his mother's hand, and coquettishly said: "Mother, I didn't come out alone, I came out with everyone in the school, there are many people."

The woman pulled him away, and she was still teaching: "Don't talk to your mother, you just run around all day long, making her worry. I should have lost you last time, and let my mother worry."

There was a lot of excitement outside the study hall, and when the children had left, it became quiet again.

Zhu Changyuan said he was going elsewhere, and he really packed up the stall and left.

Unfortunately, before Zhu Changyuan reached his destination, he was stopped by two yamen servants.

The yamen servant said: "Zhu Changyuan, the town order wants to see you, let's go to the yamen office."

In the courtroom of the government office, Li Yuzhen knelt in the center and explained how she found the gold bars.But she didn't mention a word to Su Yu, so she didn't elaborate on how to break in through the wall.

Li Yuzhen said: "My lord, with the money Zhu Changyuan earned from selling clay figurines, there would never be so many gold bars. This must be Zhu Changyuan's ill-gotten gains."

The Zhen Ling said angrily: "Bold, you stole Zhu Changyuan's belongings and dare to suspect others. Where is the money now, hand it over quickly!"

The gold bar is with Su Yu, but Li Yuzhen can't say it. She gritted her teeth and insisted: "My lord, there must be something wrong with Zhu Changyuan, please be sure to track him down."

Zhen Ling said: "A few days ago, you came to report to the officials alone, without evidence, and you insisted that Zhu Changyuan killed your brother Li Wang. Now, you also say that Zhu Changyuan's money is ill-gotten wealth. What are you doing?" If you have any enmity with him, you must hold on to it."

Li Yuzhen said: "If Zhu Changyuan is a good person, the women of the people will not pester him, but he is the murderer who killed my brother, how can I let him go!"

The town order said angrily: "If you can produce evidence, I will believe you! I restrict you to hand over Zhu Changyuan's money immediately, otherwise..."

Where did Li Yuzhen hand over the gold bars, and when she was in a hurry to turn around, Zhu Changyuan was brought up by the yamen servant.

When Li Yuzhen saw Zhu Changyuan, she looked disgusted.Zhu Changyuan also took a look at her, calmly looked away, and performed a correct etiquette to the town order.

Zhen Ling said: "The girl next to you is the thief who stole your money."

Zhu Changyuan said: "My lord, please make the decision for me."

The town order said: "Since she has confessed to the crime of theft, the money will naturally be returned. According to the amount of silk cloth, she will be punished with a stick. If the amount reaches five silk, she will be imprisoned for one year. Zhu Changyuan, how much money did you lose?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "The number of silk cloths is higher than five silks."

The town order said: "In this case, after a hundred rods, let him hand over his money and be imprisoned."
