"My humble minister Zhou Chang, kowtow to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

After only one glance into the inner room of the thatched hut, Zhou Peigong immediately knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times towards the inner room. What are you doing in a daze? The holy driver is here, why don't you come over to salute?"

"Kang Xiaomazi is here? The voice is not right?" Fatty Lu was a little dazed, and he really didn't react for a while.

"Master Lu, hurry up." Zhou Peigong urged anxiously again.At this time, there was a sudden sound of the door, and four men with knives rushed in, shouting together: "What are you doing? How dare you disturb the Holy Driver, what crime do you have?"

"What's the matter?" The half-boy's voice sounded again in the room.

"Back to the emperor, for some reason, these two guys actually entered the garden, and the guards at the gate of the garden did not stop them." A man respectfully replied: "Please rest assured, the emperor, this servant will send someone to check the gate of the garden." The crime of dereliction of duty by the guards will immediately take down these two guys who disturbed the holy car."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Fatty Lu suddenly realized, and hurried to kneel beside Zhou Peigong, kowtowed and shouted: "My minister, Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, Yunnan Province, kowtows to my emperor, long live, long live, long live! I don't know that the emperor is here , disturbed the holy car, the crime deserves death, please spare the life of the emperor!"

As he said that, Fatty Lu also kowtowed, his forehead pressed against the icy ground, with great sincerity and fear.At this time, the half-grown boy shouted: "You are Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County? Raise your head and let me see what you look like."

"Cover." Fatty Lu respectfully agreed, and raised his head cautiously.And what appeared in front of Fatty Lu was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown boy sitting beside a charcoal basin and reading a book. The glazing is clean, not to mention pockmarks, not even a single freckle.

When Fatty Lu looked up at the half-grown boy, Zhou Peigong, who was kneeling beside him, kept stealing eyes on his expression.It's a pity that after looking at it, apart from the due fear and trembling on Fatty Lu's face, there is no look of surprise or doubt on Fatty Lu's face. Even the blistered goldfish eyes on Fatty Lu's fat face—at least according to Zhou Peigong's evaluation— —In the middle, none of them showed the slightest abnormal expression, some were just nervous and timid, as if a seventh-rank official really saw the emperor standing in front of him.

"This fat man really doesn't know the emperor? But what was he doing in a daze just now?" Zhou Peigong thought about it, and then winked at the half-grown boy, telling him to continue.

The half-grown boy understood, put down the scroll in his hand, walked in front of Fatty Lu with his hands behind his back, deliberately bent down slightly so that Fatty Lu could see his face clearly, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, I have admired your name for a long time, the Fujian case , because of you, I killed a first-rank official, and killed two fourth-rank officials! Today, I finally took a break from my busy schedule to read some books in Mr. Suoetusuo’s back garden, and you broke in again Alarmed, are you guilty?"

"The humble minister deserves to die, and the humble minister deserves ten thousand deaths!" Fatty Lu pleaded guilty repeatedly, and then pulled Zhou Peigong to this side in an extremely disrespectful manner, and argued: "But the emperor's forgiveness, disturbing the emperor's study, is really not a humble minister. His idea! It was Mr. Zhou Changzhou. Originally, this minister came to Mr. Suo’etu’s house as a guest, and he listened to the opera well. Entering the thatched hut where you study, Your Majesty, please check clearly."

"Hey, Mr. Lu, why are you like this?" Zhou Peigong became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly cupped his hands to the half-grown boy and said, "The emperor clearly checked, but the minister did not do this. It was Mr. Lu who brought the minister into the house." In the garden, it was he who brought his humble ministers into this thatched hut and disturbed your studies, Your Majesty."

"Fart!" Fatty Lu was furious, grabbed Zhou Peigong's neck, and roared angrily: "You talk nonsense again, and I will strangle you to death immediately to apologize to the emperor!"

Not to mention, Fatty Lu's strength is really not small. Although Zhou Peigong, who was born as a frail scholar, struggled desperately, he couldn't break Fatty Lu's fat hand with anything.Fortunately, the half-grown boy shouted in time: "Bold, in front of me, do you still want to kill someone? Come, let me take this Lu Yifeng down!"

"Cover." Several young guards agreed together, rushed forward, and finally pulled Fatty Lu and Zhou Peigong away, and pushed Fatty Lu to the ground.The half-grown boy breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged quick glances with Zhou Peigong, and shouted sharply: "Lu Yifeng, how dare you dare to be so rude in front of me? You really don't want your head anymore?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I have been wronged." Fatty Lu wailed loudly, his tears rolled down like broken pearls, and he choked up, "I am indeed wronged, it is really Master Zhou who brought me here Yes, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can call Master Suo, Si Gege and Master Lin, and you will know if you ask, the humble minister is really wronged."

"The emperor asks Rong Chen to speak close to him, and this humble minister has something else to report." Zhou Peigong rubbed the blue and black neck pinched by Fatty Lu, first glanced at Fatty Lu with resentment, then leaned into the ear of the half-grown boy, He lowered his voice and said: "Young Master Suo, this Fatty Lu is still pretending, you can pretend that you want to kill him, and he will have to reveal his secrets!"

The half-grown boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded, Zhou Peigong retreated with a sly smile, and the half-grown boy immediately shouted: "Well, since you came here to disturb my study, it was indeed out of no intention, then I can forgive you for not guilty But Lu Yifeng, in front of me, you actually wanted to kill your colleagues, are you guilty?"

"My minister is guilty." Fatty Lu said sobbingly: "But your majesty, this minister was also mad at him, Zhou Chang. He was the one who brought me here today, and he still wants to take all Responsibility is all pushed to Wei Chen's body..."

"Enough, I don't want to hear your excuse!" The half-grown boy waved his hand decisively, and shouted: "You are rude first in front of me, and then you hurt your colleagues. The crime is unforgivable. Come, let Lu Yifeng Push it out of the garden and chop it off!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!" Fatty Lu screamed like a pig, his voice was so high that it was comparable to that of the famous tenor Pashroti in later generations.But the four guards didn't give Fatty Lu a chance to beg for mercy at all, they picked up Fatty Lu and walked out, Fatty Lu struggled desperately, shouting desperately, "The emperor spares my life, the emperor forgives me, my minister is wronged! My minister is wronged—! Your Majesty, spare Weichen's life—!"

Shouting and shouting, Fatty Lu was dragged out of the hut, while the half-grown boy and Zhou Peigong were dumbfounded in the hut, and the half-grown boy nervously asked Zhou Peigong: "Master Zhou, is this a big deal? ? If this Lu Yifeng really knows the emperor, why hasn’t he revealed that I am a fake emperor? Let’s just act here. If he is really pushed out of the garden and let those in my family see it, then things will be troublesome gone."

"This kid is still pretending, he is gambling!" Zhou Peigong said firmly: "He is betting that we dare not really kill him, so we will not reveal your identity no matter what!"

"Then what should we do?" The half-grown boy said tremblingly: "You must not let my second brother know about this matter, you should find a way quickly."

"Don't worry, Mr. Suo, I'll think of something right now." Zhou Peigong nervously agreed, and was about to start thinking about it, but the voices of Zhou Peigong and the half-old boy sounded outside...

"Your majesty, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" Fatty Lu howled like a pig: "Since the emperor thinks that the minister is guilty, then the minister should die to serve the country! Your majesty, the minister has gone—! "

"Clatter!" Amidst the howling, there was another clatter of heavy objects falling into the water outside, and then, the fake guards who had taken Fatty Lu away before also howled like a pig, "Young master, Mr. Zhou, it's not a big deal! Alright! Lu Yifeng, he...he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water!"

"What?!" Zhou Peigong and the half-grown boy almost fainted from fright, and rushed out of the hut to take a closer look. Sure enough—Fatty Lu had jumped into the thin ice-covered pool and was rolling in the bitingly cold water. Struggling, crying and howling like crazy, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! The emperor is merciful, leave a whole body for the humble minister——! Gudu, Gudu."

Wailing, Fatty Lu took two sips of ice water, rolled his eyes and sank to the bottom of the water.Seeing this scene, Zhou Peigong and the half-grown boy were naturally stunned, tongue-tied, and overwhelmed with shock, and Fatty Lu made such a fuss, and half of the servants of the Suofu were also alarmed, and countless maids and servants Geshha ran away. After coming in, Suo'etu, Kong Sizhen, Lin Tianqing and others who were listening to the opera in the warm pavilion were also alarmed, and hurried into the back garden. When seeing Fatty Lu come out of the water again, Suo'etu was also completely dumbfounded , shouted frantically: "Come on, hurry up and save Lord Lu! What's going on? What's going on?!"

Thanks to Fatty Lu's luck, this man-made lake is not too deep. At the position where Fatty Lu jumped, there happened to be two big rocks under the water surface, which raised the bottom of the lake, so after the people from Suofu jumped into the water, they quickly gave Fatty Lu rescued ashore.But it's strange to say that Fatty Lu, who had participated in swimming competitions in the 21st century and won the ranking, was already unconscious after being rescued into the water. Suo Etu had no choice but to ask someone to carry Fatty Lu to A large stone was put down on the upper abdomen towards the stone, desperately trying to save him.

Taking advantage of the effort to rescue Fatty Lu, Suo'etu, Lin Tianqing and others had to ask about how Fatty Lu fell into the water, but the four guards who were disguised as servants from Suo'etu's house did not dare to hide anything, so they hurriedly told the whole story. .After hearing the story, Suoetu was dumbfounded, and pulled the half-grown boy and his youngest brother Suo Mintai in front of him, and asked with a livid face: "Just now you really pretended to be the emperor to test Lu Your Excellency? Made him commit suicide by diving into the water?"

Suo Mintai timidly glanced at the black-faced second brother, then at Kong Sizhen beside him who was frowning, not daring to hide it, nodded, pointed at Kong Sizhen and whispered: "Si Gege asked me to do this, she Said that if Lu Yifeng's details are found out, the emperor will definitely reward our Suo family heavily. Also, Si Gege promised to give it to me... "

"Bastard!" Suo Etu slapped his younger brother's face fiercely, and said furiously, "You bastard, you have caused disaster for our Suo family!"

"Damn Mintai!" Suo Mintai knelt down with a plop, kowtowed desperately, and said with a mournful face: "But I really don't want to do it. It was Si Gege and Lord Zhou who insisted on me doing this, and said that there would never be a second one." I personally know that they will be responsible for any accidents, and my younger brother was confused for a while, so he agreed. But I really didn't expect..., I didn't expect this matter to become so big!"

"Si Gege, what do you say about this?" Suo'etu finally turned his gaze to Kong Sizhen, and roared with a livid face: "You lured my younger brother who just turned 13 to do such a thing, and now things have turned out like this, you Say it yourself, how do you explain to our Suo family?"

Kong Sizhen had nothing to say, but turned his angry eyes to Zhou Peigong, and said in his heart that you did a good job!Zhou Peigong's legs went limp, and he knelt down on his knees with a plop, and crawled on the ground tremblingly, not even daring to take a breath.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged...ah." At this moment, Fatty Lu finally woke up slowly, opened his eyes, and immediately rolled down from the stone, crawling and crawling to the rope. Next to Min Tai, he kowtowed repeatedly and wailed loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged by this humble minister, I have been wronged! Your Majesty—!"

"Master Lu, get up quickly." Suo'etu was in a hurry, and quickly pulled Fatty Lu up, and explained profusely: "Master Lu, you have been fooled, he is not the emperor, he is my youngest brother Suo Etu." Min Tai, he was lying to you just now, lying to you."

"Isn't he the emperor?!" Fatty Lu's body shook, his face was full of disbelief, and he murmured: "Then..., then he...."

"He's really not the emperor." Suo'etu said with a sad face: "Master Lu, you go back to the room with me first, and I will apologize to you and explain to you slowly."

"Oh, so he's not the emperor." Fatty Lu felt relieved, his fat head shook, he fell headlong on the ground, and fell into a coma again...

"Hurry up, take Mrs. Lu back to the room! Please doctor, quickly please doctor—!"

Amidst Suo'etu's heart-piercing screams, Kong Sizhen walked up to Zhou Peigong with a livid face, raised his palm, and slapped Zhou Peigong with all his strength, causing blood to spurt from Zhou Peigong's mouth, and then Kong Sizhen raised his plump thigh again , and kicked Zhou Peigong hard in the chest again, causing Zhou Peigong to fall on his back.Kong Sizhen was still puzzled, and rushed to Zhou Peigong's side again, kicked and kicked Zhou Peigong, and cursed: "Slave dog, look at your bad idea, let's see how you end this time! This time, my old lady, you gave me a hand!" It's miserable!"

"Gege, spare me, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!" Zhou Peigong wailed and rolled to dodge, while looking at Fatty Lu who was lifted up by Suofu's servants with hatred from the corner of his eyes, his teeth were gnashing in his heart, and his hairs stood on end, "If this is If it's a bitter plan, this Fatty Lu is really terrible! In such a short period of time, he can see through all my intentions, and he can immediately follow the plan, use the way of the other, and return it to the other body, and in turn beat me into it. A hopeless situation beyond redemption!"

"It's too scary! This Fatty Lu is far more scheming and vicious than me—!"

"Come here! Drag this dog slave down and tie him up! After a while, my old lady will personally escort him to plead guilty to the emperor!"
