Father can be an enemy to the country

In the dungeon of the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion, in the torture room.

"Aren't you an outsider? How do you know that the three religions are uniting to assassinate the king and kill him?" Zhu Zhen stared closely at the man named Ma and asked.

"Bianliang is a place where all religions and religions are mixed together. It's not like Nanjing, where people can arrest you just for gossiping..." The man surnamed Ma regretted it so much. If he could do it over again, he would never talk nonsense again. .

"So you heard this too?"

"Yes." He immediately nodded in agreement.

"Isn't that right? I see that what you said last night is very confident in your news." King Chu was not easy to fool. He loosened the tight mask strap slightly and said:

"Normally, your crime is more than enough to punish the Nine Clans. But because it involves the safety of my brothers, if you can make a great contribution, then after my brothers return safely, I can ask my father to spare your life."

"Think about it carefully." After Zhu Zhen finished speaking, he turned to leave.

"I said, I said..." Then someone named Ma shouted weakly from behind, "I said it all!"

~~

On the way out of the Qinjun Duwei Mansion, Zhu Zhen was riding on the back of an ox, thinking about Ma's confession——

He finally confessed that he was able to take this job because his brother-in-law was a leader of the White Lotus Sect. His brother-in-law told him about the "merger of three religions and assassination of kings and chariots".

His brother-in-law also said that in the past two months, senior officials and powerful players from the three religions have gathered in Bianliang. Because they got definite news that several of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons appeared in Peiping as low-level officers. The three religions decided to assassinate him on his way back to Nanjing to take revenge.

Although what the person surnamed Ma said may not be reliable, it still caused Zhu Zhen's uneasiness. In order to prevent his wild guesses from killing his brothers, he decided to play a trick.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned the bull's horns and said, "Go back to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion!"

~~

In Uncle Chengyi's Mansion, Liu Ji was receiving guests, and King Chu broke in.

"Master, something bad has happened." Lao Liu shouted loudly as soon as he came in, and then used his eyes to signal the guest to be more understanding and leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned a blind eye to him and asked angrily: "Whose child is so rude?"

"That's the kid you scolded just now." Liu Bowen said with ill intentions.

"Ah?" The man squinted his eyes hard, and two chrysanthemums seemed to bloom on his face. He looked at Lao Liu carefully and said, "It's true. He's grown a lot taller than last year. He's unrecognizable."

"Master, who is this?" Zhu Zhen asked strangely.

"A bad writer of novels." Liu Bowen said with a smile: "You have also acted in a novel written by his master."

"Ah, Luo Guanzhong!" Zhu Zhen suddenly realized, immediately changed his face to a very affectionate one, grabbed the hand with chrysanthemum eyes and shook it vigorously: "Nice to meet you!"

"Haha, it is the common people's misfortune to meet His Highness." That person was Luo Guanzhong who appeared in Linhuai County a year ago.

"As you said, we have met before?" Monk Zhu Zhenzhang was confused.

"Your Highness has never seen the grassroots, but the grassroots have seen your Highness." Luo Guanzhong said with gritted teeth: "I was still in the Linhuai County Town God's Temple, and I watched the performance of "The Legend of Wu Song" performed by Your Highness and your brothers!"

"Uh..." Only then did Zhu Zhen understand why Lao Luo was so prejudiced against him. But he was not shy but said happily: "How is it? How did our performance go?"

"Haha..." Luo Guanzhong glanced at Liu Bowen and said, "The adaptation is directed by the dignified Mr. Qingtian, how could it not be good-looking?"

"No, Master, do you...recognize it?" Zhu Zhen looked at Liu Bowen and said.

"Hmm." Old Liu nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Otherwise, where did you see the unpublished "Water Margin"?"

"Uh, okay..." Zhu Zhenxin said, why did he forget this? I still expect Master to fill in the loopholes.

"No wonder Mr. Guanzhong is unhappy. How could you only write Duke Shi Naian's name in the original column and leave out his name?" Liu Bowen said again.

"Oops, I was negligent." Zhu Zhen slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "I just remember that my husband wrote "Three Kingdoms", but it turns out that "Water Margin" also has his contribution."

He quickly expressed his stance: "Add it, I'll add it later."

"No need." Luo Guanzhong looked slightly relieved.

"It's necessary. How can I lose my signature right?" Zhu Zhen was very determined. He asked Luo Guanzhong, "By the way, who is your name, sir?"

"Guanzhong is my character," Luo Guanzhong replied calmly: "I act with my character."

"What's your real name?" Zhu Zhen asked with increasing curiosity.

"This is the original." Luo Guanzhong replied: "The thick and clear version is the original version."

"Oh, Robben!" Zhu Zhen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sir must be good at shooting."

"Is it just my shortsightedness?" Luo Guanzhong pointed to his chrysanthemum eyes in frustration. "The target is nowhere to be seen."

"That's it." Lao Liu looked disappointed.

Robben didn't know why he was disappointed, and then said to his master and apprentice: "You two masters and apprentices, it is not impossible to adapt my master's apprentice's "Water Margin", but you should not make it up randomly and add erotic content! "

"Why do you say this?" Liu Bowen asked.

"I heard that by the Qinhuai River, there was a Golden Lotus Courtyard recently, and the drama "Jin Ping Mei" was staged and it was very popular. The common people, with a learning attitude, spent a lot of money to buy tickets in the first row." Luo Guanzhong coughed twice as he spoke. Said: "I'm not doing it for anyone else, I'm just short-sighted and there's nothing I can do about it."

"oh……"

"What happened in the end!" Luo Guanzhong was so angry that his nose was crooked. If he couldn't bear it anymore, he wouldn't come to Liu Bowen to settle the score.

"I'm embarrassed to say it, it's obscene! Vulgar! Obscene! It's simply too much!"

"That has nothing to do with me." Liu Bowen quickly denied it: "I don't know about 'Jin Ping Mei' or 'Yin Ping Lan'."

"I don't know anymore..." Zhu Zhen also quickly denied it. "How can my little kid go to a place like that?"

At this moment, he understood why Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng had to remain anonymous.

"It really has nothing to do with you?" Luo Benhu asked.

"Really." Master and disciple said in unison.

"Your Highness, please send someone to tell Jinlianyuan not to perform "The Plum in the Golden Vase" again. Otherwise, when my master's "Water Margin" is published in the future, others will think it is a pornographic book." Luo Guanzhong said to Zhu Zhen.

"Let me give it a try." Zhu Zhen nodded. But in my heart I felt very unhappy about "Jin Ping Mei". Alas, there is no human rights in fan works...

"Well, I won't disturb you, master and disciple." Luo Guanzhong stood up and said goodbye.

"I won't send it off." Master and apprentice said in unison again.

"Oh, that's rude." Robben held on to the door frame depressedly and went out.

As soon as he left, Zhu Zhen quickly took out the secret letters and briefly explained what happened.

Of course, he would not tell Lao Liu that he was monitoring the incident in Jinlian Courtyard. He would only say that Liu Ying and the others caught the person named Ma.

Liu Bowen glanced at the secret message, looked at him again and said, "Then please invite Mr. Guanzhong back."
