"yes!"

Speaking of the third wife, Liu Yuanwai couldn't help but smile, and even forgot about the possible lawsuit.

"It's not that I'm bragging. Although there are quite a few women in Shui Ling in the Goulan, Yuniang is one of the best. I don't know how many people want to ask her to be a concubine. If it wasn't for his father still owed me a lot of rent?" Come on, this thing is really not cheap..."

"Where is the hook bar you mentioned?" Li Yi waved his hand to interrupt Member Liu before he could finish speaking.

Member Liu pointed in one direction and said, "It's not far away, it's just under the city wall to the east. The two adults saw it when they walked to the gate of the city."

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Call your third lady here."

"This..." A look of hesitation appeared on Liu Yuanwai's face. He just married the third lady last night, and he hadn't had time to bridal chamber yet. Judging by the appearance of this lord, could it be that he wants to...

Member Liu regretted greatly. If he had known earlier, he would not have bragged so much. This is a good thing. The concubine he married may be flying away...

"Go, call the third lady here!" She glared at the girl, if she hadn't barged in recklessly, how could the current situation be happening

Liu Yuanwai did not dare to refuse, after all, his lawsuit has not yet been resolved, if he offends the adults in front of him, he will have no good fruit to eat.

The girl ran out in a hurry, and after a while, she walked in with a young woman in her arms.

The woman looks pretty, but her face is pale, revealing a lovely and pitiful posture. In Li Yi's eyes, her appearance is average. Although Her Royal Highness is wearing neutral clothes, the light is far overshadowed by the third lady. .

However, Yuanwai Liu couldn't be more than 30 years old. It would be a waste for such a girl who looked at most 28 years old to be his concubine.

"The two adults asked you a few words, and you must answer truthfully, or see how I deal with you!" Liu Yuanwai glanced at the woman, and said with a straight face.

"Shut up." Li Mingzhu glanced at Liu Yuanwai lightly, and a smile appeared on the other party's face immediately, and he closed his mouth tactfully.

"Do you know what happened here last night?" Li Mingzhu looked at her and asked seemingly casually.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yi clearly saw a trace of panic on the woman's face. Although she quickly returned to normal, it was obviously impossible to escape the eyes of Her Highness the Princess.

"You go out first." Li Mingzhu pointed to Yuanwai Liu and said.

Liu Yuanwai actually didn't want to go out, but the man recorded just now put his hand on his shoulder, and after a little force, he obediently followed him away.

The rest of the people also retreated to the door, not letting anyone approach.

"Liu Yuanwai has already left, you can tell." Li Mingzhu looked at her and said.

"The two adults may have made a mistake. I really don't know anything." The woman's face turned pale suddenly, but she still gritted her teeth.

Li Yi smiled and said, "I know you don't want to be a concubine to Yuanwai Liu. We can find you, and naturally we can also find that person from last night. If you can tell the truth now..."

Li Yi pointed to Li Mingzhu, and said, "This lord can make the decision for you and rescue you from here. You won't have to be a concubine for Yuanwai Liu anymore. If there is someone who wants to marry, the government will be your matchmaker. It's not impossible."

When the woman heard the first half of Li Yi's words, a look of nervousness appeared on her face, but after hearing what he said, a bit of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her complexion changed. After a while, she bit her lower lip, as if she had done something. What decision? Looking up at Li Yi, he asked, "Is what your lord said true?"

Li Yi just looked at her with a smile and didn't speak again.

A look of hesitation appeared on the woman's face again, and when her eyes gradually became firm, she suddenly knelt down with a "plop".

"The little girl is willing to say, I just hope that the adults will deal with him lightly..."

"Leave two people to watch him, and the others will follow me." The two walked out of the room, Li Mingzhu gave orders, and strode out.

Li Yi glanced at Yuanwai Liu, and followed him unhurriedly.

The status of Wasi and Goulan in this world is similar to that of entertainment plazas and cinemas in later generations. Of course, more services are provided here, most of them are rap performing arts, and various juggling skills are rare in later generations.

And these places are not uncommon here. In some remote counties, there will also be tiles, but the scale is smaller.

Artists from the rivers and lakes gathered in the tiles, showing their skills and fighting skills. The veils are separated from each other, and a circle is a hook.

The Wasi outside the city is simpler and more chaotic than the inside of the city. The Wasi has its own rivers and lakes. Although it is not easy to manage because of the crowds, the government has always disliked such places, but such places as Wasi Goulan The place is very popular among the people. Whether it's a small person in Shengdou or a high-ranking martial artist, they all like to watch the excitement in such a place.

After Li Yi and Li Mingzhu walked into the Wasi, they walked towards one of the largest hook bars according to what the woman said.

Because it was daytime, there were not many people in the fence, and when they lifted the curtain and walked in, they immediately smelled a slightly pungent smell.

I saw fireworks on the stage, and a few people with masks and hair hanging up and down jumped on the stage, which seemed to be a strange dance, with the sound of gongs everywhere, and it was very lively.

"It should be right here." Several people went straight to the back of the stage. Spectators are not allowed to enter behind the scenes. A few people in the fence wanted to intercept them, but they were blocked by those men.

Behind the curtain, a young man was using a fan to fan the smoke produced by the burning gunpowder to the front of the stage. He heard footsteps behind him. After turning around, he saw several strangers walking towards this side.

"Shen Liang?" The leading young man asked tentatively.

"You are?"

The young man stood up with some doubts, and just said something, two men came over and pressed his shoulders.

The young man was just an ordinary entertainer, and after taking her back, he didn't spend much effort to get her out of the way.

The story is actually very old-fashioned, two young men and women who are humble but like each other, lovers cannot get married in the end, Liu Yuanwai is the biggest villain in the story, relying on his status as a landlord, he half-forced to take a woman as a concubine, as a lover Of course, the man would not let it go, but because of his status, he had no other means. He could only blow up the courtyard wall of Liu Yuanwai's house on the wedding night and set off a free firework to send his best wishes to Liu Yuanwai. .

Unexpectedly, the place to be bombed was not chosen properly, and it happened to be next to the cowshed. The two cows were not killed by the bombing, but were frightened to death by the sudden loud noise coming from around them. Fortunately, Shen Liang did not mix iron flakes in the gunpowder. Thinking, otherwise the other cow may not be spared.

As for the formula of gunpowder, it is not difficult to explain.

The three generations of the Shen family were all actors and pyrotechnic makers. With this unique skill, they lived in the Goulan and dealt with these things all day long. After decades, they were able to figure out something.

Although it has not yet reached the most accurate ratio developed by later generations, and there are many deficiencies in craftsmanship, it is still more than enough for blowing up courtyard walls.

Shen Liang's father was killed by this accidentally discovered thing. As the only child of the Shen family, Shen Liang has always regarded it as a secret.

Yuanwai Liu drove him into a hurry this time. After doing such a thing in the dark, he fled back home in a hurry. Unexpectedly, after a long time, people from the government came to the door.

If Li Yi's guess is correct, he may never see Shen Liang and Yun Niang again in the Goulan, and Liu Yuanwai will marry the third concubine next time.

Of course, with Her Royal Highness's way of doing things, the two of them will have a better life in the future. Although there will be a lack of personal freedom, lovers will eventually get married, and they will not worry about food and clothing. Compared with their previous life, it is already a very happy ending.

It is not a coincidence that the other party can make a simple version of the bomb. With the first one, there will be a second one, and the third one, maybe somewhere, someone else has discovered the mystery of black powder—but these should be the princess Your Highness needs to worry.

Looking at Her Royal Highness, who was obviously worried, Li Yi quickened his pace slightly, walked over and patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "How about we discuss one more thing?"
