Speaking of this third lady, Liu Yuanwai's smile couldn't help but spread, and he even forgot about the possibility of being sued.
"I'm not bragging. Although there are many pretty girls in Goulan, Yun Niang is one of the best. I don't know how many people want to ask her to be a concubine. If his father hadn't owed me a lot of rent, wouldn't he?"
Hand in hand, this matter is really not cheap..."
"Where is the hook bar you mentioned?" Before Liu Yuanwai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yi with a wave of his hand.
Liu Yuanwai pointed in a direction and said: "Not far away, just under the city wall on the east side. You two adults saw it when you walked to the city gate."
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Call your third wife."
"This..." A look of hesitation appeared on Liu Yuanwai's face. He just married these three ladies last night and hadn't had time to get married yet. Judging from the look of this adult, could it be that he wanted to...
Liu Yuanwai felt great regret. If he had known that he would not brag so much just now, it would be better now. The concubine he brought home might have to fly away...
"Go, call the Third Madam!" He glared at the girl. If she hadn't barged in carelessly, what would have happened now?
Liu Yuanwai did not dare to refuse. After all, his lawsuit had not yet come to a conclusion. If he offended the adults in front of him, he would not suffer the consequences.
The girl hurriedly ran out, and after a while, a young woman walked in with her support.
The woman has pretty features, but her face is pale, and she has a pitiful posture. Her appearance is average in Li Yi's opinion. Although the princess next to her is wearing neutral clothes, she far outshines the third lady.
.
However, Liu Yuanwai must not be over thirty years old. It would be a waste for such a girl, who looks like she is twenty-eight years old at most, to be his concubine.
"You two adults are asking you a few words. You must answer truthfully, otherwise I will deal with you!" Liu Yuanwai glanced at the woman and said with a straight face.
"Shut up." Li Mingzhu glanced at Liu Yuanwai lightly. A smile appeared on the other person's face and he closed his mouth knowingly.
"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 hint 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 at Yuan Liu and said.
In fact, Yuan Liu didn't want to go out, but the man who just recorded put his hand on his shoulder, and after a little force, he followed him obediently.
The other people also retreated to the door, not letting anyone get close.
"Liu Yuanwai has left, please tell me." Li Mingzhu looked at her and said.
"You two adults may have made a mistake. I really don't know anything." The woman's face suddenly turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said.
Li Yi smiled and said: "I know you don't want to be a concubine for Liu Yuanwai. If we can find you, we can also find the person last night. If you can tell the truth now..."
Li Yi pointed at Li Mingzhu and said: "This lord can make the decision for you and rescue you from here. You will no longer have to be Liu Yuanwai's concubine in the future. If there is someone you want to marry, the government will act as a matchmaker for you.
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 expression changed uncertainly. After a while, she bit her lower lip and seemed to do something.
What decision did he make? He looked up at Li Yi and asked, "Is what the Lord said true?"
Li Yi just looked at her with a smile and did not speak again.
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 it, just asking the adults to treat him lightly..."
…
…
"Leave two people to watch him, the others follow me." The two walked out of the room, Li Mingzhu ordered, and strode out.
Li Yi glanced at Liu Yuanwai and followed him leisurely.
The status of Washi and Goulan in this world is similar to that of entertainment plazas and movie theaters in later generations. Of course, it provides more services, mostly rap and performing arts, and various juggling skills, which are difficult to see in later generations.
And these places are not uncommon here. Some remote counties also have tile shops, but they are just smaller in scale.
Artists from all over the world gathered in the tile houses to show off their fighting skills, each showing their talent; they had different styles and styles. They set up different venues in the tile houses, formed small circles, and used railings and ropes to clothe them.
The curtains separate each other, and a circle is a hook.
The tile houses outside the city are simpler and more chaotic than those inside the city. The tile houses form their own rivers and lakes. Although it is not easy to manage because of the mixed crowds. The government has always disliked such places, but the tile houses and the lanterns are like this.
The place is extremely popular among the people. Whether they are ordinary people or high-ranking martial arts people, they all like to watch the excitement in such a place.
After Li Yi and Li Mingzhu walked into the house, they followed the woman's instructions and walked towards one of the largest hooks.
Because it was daytime, there were not many people in the hook fence. When a few people lifted the curtain and walked in, they immediately smelled a slightly pungent smell.
There were huge fireworks on the stage, and a few people with masks and disheveled hair were jumping up and down on the stage, which seemed to be a strange dance. The sound of gongs was everywhere, and it was very lively.
"It should be right here." Several people walked straight to the back of the stage. Spectators were not allowed to enter behind the scenes. Several people in the hook bar wanted to intercept, but were blocked by the men.
Behind the curtain, a young man was using a fan to fan the smoke produced by burning gunpowder to the front of the stage. He heard footsteps coming from behind. When he turned around, he saw several strangers walking towards this side.
"Shen Liang?" the young man in charge asked tentatively.
"You are?"
The young man stood up with some confusion. Just as he said something, two men came over and held his shoulders.
…
…
The young man was just an ordinary entertainer. After taking her back, he didn't waste much time in telling her everything.
The story is actually very cliche. Two young men and women of humble status but who love each other cannot get married. As the biggest villain in the story, Liu Yuanwai, relying on his status as a landlord, semi-forced to take the woman as his concubine and as his lover.
Of course, the man would not give up, but due to his status, he had no other means but to blow up the wall of Yuanwai Liu's house on the wedding night and set off a free firework to express his blessing to Yuanwai Liu.
.
Unexpectedly, the place for the explosion was not chosen well. It happened to be next to the cowshed. The two cows were not killed by the explosion. They were frightened to death by the sudden loud noise. Fortunately, Shen Liang did not mix iron pieces into the gunpowder. idea, otherwise the other cow may not be spared.
As for the formula of gunpowder, it is not difficult to explain.
The top three generations of the Shen family are all actors and pyrotechnics makers. Relying on this unique skill, they make a living in the hook bar and deal with these things all day long. After decades, they can finally figure out something.
Although it has not reached the most precise proportions developed by later generations, and there are many shortcomings in craftsmanship, it is more than enough to blast a courtyard wall.
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 that was not passed down.
Liu Yuanwai cornered him this time. After doing such a thing in the dark, he hurriedly fled home. Unexpectedly, only half a day later, people from the government came to the door.
If Li Yi guessed correctly, I am afraid that Shen Liang and Yun Niang will never be seen again in Goulan in the future, and besides Liu Yuan, the next time he will marry is the third concubine.
Of course, with Her Royal Highness's style of doing things, the two of them will live a better life in the future. Although there will be some lack of personal freedom, lovers will eventually get married and they will not have to worry about food and clothing. This is consistent with Compared with their previous lives, it was 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, and a third. Maybe someone somewhere has discovered the secret of black powder---but These should be things that Her Royal Highness the Princess needs to worry about.
Looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess 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?"
