Zhong Langfu touched Qing'er's face and said with a smile: "You have such a sweet little mouth, come and give me a kiss!"
Qing'er quickly dodged back and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, your Excellency is still here!"
Duan Wenliang understood immediately, and he immediately raised his hand: "Oh, oh. I'm going to leave, I'm going to leave!"
"Don't leave, you haven't guessed what game my Highness is playing with Miss Qing'er! Guess it quickly!" Zhong Langfu rushed Duan Wenliang away in no hurry.
Duan Wenliang scratched his scalp, wondering: "Your Highness, I really can't guess."
Zhong Langfu looked at Miss Qing'er and said proudly: "Master Duan is an expert in solving cases, but he is not so good at guessing riddles. Why don't you tell Master Duan?"
When Qing'er heard this, her face turned red: "Your Highness, you are so bad! How can you let a little girl speak about such a thing!"
"You're so shy! Haha, Qing'er looks so good when she's shy!" Zhong Langfu laughed. He turned to look at Duan Wenliang: "Master Duan,
Can you really not guess it? "
"This low-ranking official is stupid, I really can't guess." Duan Wenliang showed a humble expression.
"Then do you want my Highness to tell you?" Zhong Langfu asked pretending to be mysterious.
"Okay, okay, yes, Your Highness, please tell me, and it will also open your eyes." Duan Wenliang said endlessly flatteringly.
Zhong Langfu swallowed his saliva: "Let me tell you! This is a game played by His Highness and Miss Qing'er! That is, whoever wins takes off his clothes.
Accept it, hahahaha..."
Duan Wenliang was a little startled when he heard this, and then he smiled happily and raised his thumb: "Your Highness is really a genius! He actually came up with something like this.
Creative games. This game is not only creative but also quite reasonable! "
"Oh! It's reasonable. What do you think is reasonable?"
Duan Wenliang rolled his eyes: "Your Highness, please think about it, there are so many beauties in the world who are willing to undress and take off their clothes in front of His Highness, but they are not qualified. Even a stunning beauty like Miss Qing'er must win over His Highness if they want to flatter him in front of His Highness. Your Highness Does the official understand this right?"
This time, Zhong Langfu was convinced by the magistrate in front of him. What it meant to brag and flatter someone, and what it meant to be extremely flattering, this man could be said to have taken it to the extreme.
"You are good at talking. If my Highness becomes prosperous in the future, I will definitely take you with me."
When Duan Wenliang heard this, he was so happy that he forgot to scratch it. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!" Duan Wenliang flattered Zhong Langfu that he finally heard some kind words in return. You must know that this is a prince, and if he becomes prosperous, it means he will inherit the throne. If he becomes the emperor and takes me with him, then what am I if I am not the prime minister! whee! I, Duan Wenliang, are not far away from becoming prosperous.
After Duan Wenliang finished speaking, he stood up happily. A servant hurriedly came to report that his nephew wanted to see him. Duan Wenliang waved his hand to let the servant go out first, and then smiled flatteringly at Zhong Langfu: "Your Highness, continue, I have some things to deal with, so I will take my leave now."
After Duan Wenliang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he saw his nephew Wu Hongwei walking over with a playful smile: "Uncle, I arrested two more people for slandering the third prince today. Do you want to take a look?"
Duan Wenliang raised his head: "What did they slander the Third Prince?"
Wu Hongwei thought for a while: "My nephew, I arrested two old men this time. One of them actually talked about His Highness behind his back. I thought this was disrespectful to His Highness, so I captured him."
"Then where are they?"
"It's right above the lobby. If uncle doesn't try them, then I will throw them directly into prison."
"No, uncle is free today and is in a good mood. He will take me to see him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hongwei quickly led the way, "Okay, okay, these two old guys will stand in front of the hall."
Duan Wenliang walked up to the lobby with his lips curled up, and saw two old men standing in the hall. Judging from their attire, they did not look like ordinary people, at least they were rich men.
"Who is standing in the hall? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Duan Wenliang had memorized this sentence so well that he said it smoothly without thinking at all.
Zhong Yehan didn't speak, and Simon Dehaao couldn't help but said: "You are such a dog official, you haven't come to pick up the emperor after seeing him!"
Duan Wenliang didn't seem to understand: "What did you say? Who is the emperor?"
"Blinding your dog eyes, the man standing next to me is the current Long Live Lord. If you don't want to die, kneel down quickly!"
Duan Wenliang looked at Qu Yehan suspiciously, wondering if they were deceiving me: "You said you are the emperor, then I will ask you what the current three princes look like, whether they are tall or fat, ugly or handsome. ah?"
Zhong Yehan spoke, but he did not answer Duan Wenliang's question directly. Instead, he said: "I heard that the public security in Cangzhou under your rule is very bad. I came here specially to take a look. I heard the citizens on the street say that your surname is Duan, but his ability to resolve cases is not strong. So today I will let you judge whether I am the emperor or not!"
Duan Wenliang was shocked when he saw Zhong Yehan's demeanor. He had long heard that the current emperor was a rare wise king with his literary and military skills. Looking at the old man in front of him, he looked quite similar to him.
"Are you really the current Long Live Lord?"
"I just want you to judge."
Duan Wenliang circled around Zhong Yehan a few times: "Wait a moment, I will ask someone to come out. Then everything will be revealed."
"Should we ask Zhong Langfu to come out and identify him?" Zhong Yehan first revealed Duan Wenliang's thoughts.
Duan Wenliang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, you two wait a moment, I will be here soon."
Duan Wenliang hurriedly ran into the back room and saw that Zhong Langfu was so addicted that he had only one pair of pants left. Didn't Zhong Langfu stipulate that whoever is addicted will get rid of it? I don't know why. He was very lucky today and beat Qing'er every time, so he had to fulfill his promise. If this article was so late, I guess we The third prince will be naked and candid.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what are you..." Duan Wenliang was so anxious that he didn't know how to flatter him.
Zhong Langfu chuckled: "My Highness is very lucky today. You see, the Qing'er girls are still well-dressed, but there are only a few of them here. Do you think this rule should be changed?"
Qing'er smiled and said coquettishly: "Your Highness's words don't count. How can you change the rules you set at a moment's notice!"
Zhong Langfu looked at Qing'er with fascination: "Does Qing'er have to watch His Highness reveal his true face?"
"See what's wrong!" Qing'er said in a disgusting way.
"You, you, you! You haven't seen enough after watching it all night last night. It doesn't matter, I will help you, roll the dice!"
Duan Wenliang said cautiously: "Your Highness, there is a man coming from outside. He wants to see you."
Zhong Langfu picked up the dice and said, "Who is so boring? He comes here to look for me and says I'm not here!"
"But Your Highness, that person said that he is your father, the current Long Live Lord!"
When Zhong Langfu heard this, he was so surprised that he dropped the dice to the ground: "What are you talking about? Father is here, it's impossible!"
Duan Wenliang also said: "I also find it incredible, but that person's tone seems... Your Highness, you'd better go and have a look! In case..."
Zhong Langfu stood up quickly: "Okay! I'll go take a look!"
Zhong Langfu followed Duan Wenliang to the front hall and saw Zhong Yehan and Ximen Dehao tied up and standing aside, with several government officials looking at them eagerly.
Zhong Langfu was so surprised that he almost ran over and knelt down on the ground: "Father, why are you here? Who took the courage of a leopard and tied you up? Untie you quickly!"
Upon hearing this, several government officials hurriedly untied the ropes between the two of them, and then knelt down one by one to plead guilty: "The common people didn't know that the emperor was coming to atone for his sins, atone for his sins!"
Duan Wenliang was dumbfounded. He knelt down and crawled a few steps before falling to the ground crying: "Your Majesty! This old minister is blind and offends the holy face. It is a death penalty!"
Zhong Yehan ignored Duan Wenliang at all, and just looked at Zhong Langfu: "I read your report. How did you solve this unsolved case? Please tell me in detail."
Zhong Langfu quickly said: "As soon as I arrived in Cangzhou, I immediately conducted an investigation and determined that it was a burglary. So I focused my efforts on catching the thieves. After several days of ambush and waiting, I finally caught several thieves. After interrogation, I , they also admitted that they were responsible for Jia Xian's case, so I reported it to my father."
"Did you find the head?"
Zhong Langfu shook his head: "That's not true. Although the criminals admitted that they did it, they couldn't tell the whereabouts of their heads."
Zhong Yehan frowned. This guy must have tortured them to extract a confession: "You must have tortured them!"
Zhong Langfu nodded: "How can there be no need to punish these unscrupulous people? If there is no need to punish them, how can they tell the truth!"
"Nonsense!" Zhong Yehan reprimanded, "You used torture, aren't you afraid that they will give in to you?"
"This, this, my father and I can be sure that they are indeed responsible for this unsolved crime, and they have all willingly admitted it!"
Zhong Yehan's face was gloomy, wondering how such a prince could be worthy of such a great responsibility. He looked at Duan Wenliang: "Get up too! Go and present all the cases this year. I want to see them myself."
"Old minister, I obey the order!" Duan Wenliang was relieved. The emperor did not hold him accountable for the offense, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhong Yehan was sitting in the lobby of the magistrate's office, looking at the cases that Duan Wenliang had tried. Although the records were clear, there were not many cases, which was different from what he heard when he came here.
Zhong Yehan coughed lightly: "Well, is this the annual crime rate in Cangzhou?"
Duan Wenliang bowed and saluted: "Under the rule of the emperor, Cangzhou has simple folk customs, so there are not many cases. This also shows that I, Dayou, are coming from a prosperous and peaceful age."
Zhong Yehan took a sip of tea: "When I came to Cangzhou, I heard from the people on the street that thieves are rampant here. Is it true?"
Duan Wenliang nodded: "There are indeed some rampant thieves in Cangzhou, but that was before the third prince came. Since the third prince came to Cangzhou, those thieves have fled one after another, so the number of cases this year is obviously much less than last year." Duan Wenliang As he spoke, he glanced at Zhong Langfu fawningly, and Zhong Langfu smiled back, thinking that he said it well.
Zhong Yehan looked back at Ximen Dehao: "So the third prince is a talent! Wherever he goes, thieves will flee. Why does this remind me of the door gods posted on the door during the New Year? They stood at the door, those The kid won’t dare to come in.”
Duan Wenliang knew that there was sarcasm in Zhong Yehan's words, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the reputation of the third prince is not just for boasting. Since he solved the headless case, Cangzhou's public security has improved, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. They all praise him." We, Dayou, have a good prince!"
Zhong Yehan was so amused by Duan Wenliang's remarks: "Oh! I didn't know that Lang Fu has such a great ability. It seems that I need to train him well and train him well!"
Duan Wenliang and Zhong Langfu didn't know what Zhong Yehan meant, so they could only look at him blankly.
