Chapter 209
209
In the next few days they visited several factories in the city, including the sugar factory, the glass factory, and the school.
When they went to the sugar factory, Liu Ya saw the young man again. The young man was the young master of a caravan. His family specialized in buying some goods from outside, transporting them back to the capital, and selling them to grocery stores in the capital.
Liu Ya asked him if he had seen her before, but the man shook his head nervously, but his eyes were still full of fear.
Liu Ya felt something was wrong and had to find someone to investigate him.
The prince took the matter in hand. Although he was unreliable most of the time, his connections were good and his followers were capable, so he easily found out all the information about the other party.
The family's surname was Li and they lived in the capital. Three generations of their ancestors had been engaged in business and they had no connection with their family. Originally, Liu Ya thought that the boy just had a strange temper, but after hearing their address, Liu Ya was so scared that she trembled all over.
Because his home address was the place where Liu Ya had killed the third prince before.
The prince quickly hugged him and comforted him: "It's okay, we can find a way to get rid of him, and then no one will know."
Liu Ya looked up at the prince with mixed feelings. He killed the Third Prince because the Third Prince wanted to force him and tear his clothes. If he didn't kill the other party, he would have been killed by the Third Prince.
As a man, he was raped by a man. Not only did he have to suffer mental and physical torture, but he also had to commit suicide to protect his chastity. This was the law of this dynasty. If he didn't want to die, he could only kill the third prince and destroy the body.
Killing the third prince was a last resort, but the young man was innocent. He didn't want to die, and the young man didn't want to die either. Why should he kill someone else for his own life?
He just wanted to live a peaceful life, but he was persecuted by men again and again. "I took action only because I had no choice. Is there no other way?"
The prince comforted him and said he would find a solution himself.
He called the attendant in again and asked him to investigate when the young man from the Li family started to follow his family out to do business.
The result of the investigation was that before the child was twelve years old, his family went out to do business and he lived with his aunt.
The prince calculated the time and found that the family was not in the capital at that time, but the child might have happened to return home and witnessed this scene.
He didn't know whether the child had told anyone, why he didn't report to the police, and whether he was afraid of retaliation.
He specially asked someone to find the young man from the Li family and asked him about it. The young man from the Li family said that he had never told anyone and he didn't know who the dead person was.
The prince asked someone to give them some money and asked them to leave the capital and move to another place, and they were not allowed to return to the capital again.
This amount of money was enough for their family to earn for several lifetimes. The boy's father accepted the money. Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't dare to ask too much because the other party was the prince. He moved to another place with his family and promised never to return to the capital.
Shen Yuntang felt that Liu Ya was acting strange recently, always looking distraught, as if something had happened to him. He was not as happy as when he first came. When he was about to ask him, he saw that he had returned to his usual self. He also told Cheng Yeran about this, and Cheng Yeran said that maybe the couple had had a quarrel and reconciled.
They had hardly ever quarreled and had a harmonious relationship. However, before they were together, they had many quarrels and cold wars during their ambiguous period. Shen Yuntang remembered that he was always distraught at that time because he was always worried and anxious at Cheng Yeran's attitude. Whether he was happy or angry was affected by the other party's attitude.
Cheng Yeran said that Liu Ya and the prince had relationship problems, and he believed it. It was not appropriate for him to interfere in relationship issues. No one else could help with this kind of thing, and the two of them had to solve it themselves.
On Cheng Zhao's birthday, Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang made careful preparations and threw him a birthday party, inviting many people to their home, including business partners, detectives and legal advisors from the yamen, and several teachers from the school.
The school was established, and Cheng Zhao went to study with a few young servants. He did well in the school and invited all his classmates to come. His third brother also invited his brothers and sisters to come.
Shen Yuntang specially made a huge cake, several layers high.
He only opened a factory here, but not a restaurant or cake shop. The people in the city have never eaten cake, and those who came to the birthday party had never seen this thing before. They were extremely surprised when they ate it. Not only was it delicious, but they couldn't guess the recipe and how it was made. Lord Cheng and his husband must be gods from heaven, otherwise how could they make food that has never been seen on earth? In addition to today's cake, there is also white sugar, colored glaze, and brightly colored dyes. These things may have been brought down from heaven.
Someone suggested building a temple for Mr. Cheng and Mr. Shen in the city. Temples have been built in other places, so there is no reason not to build one here.
Although they can see him in person, they still want to build a temple, give Cheng Yeran more incense, and keep him here forever.
Cheng Zhao couldn't wait to find Cheng Yeran to ask for a gift early in the morning. Although Uncle Yuanbao had already given him a good sword, and this sword was very suitable for children and he could easily hold it, and he had already started learning from his master, but he was still more looking forward to his father's gift.
"No rush. Wait until your birthday party is over and wait for me in the pavilion on the rockery in the evening." Cheng Yeran said mysteriously.
Cheng Zhao knew the pavilion on the rockery. There was originally a pavilion, and later the two fathers asked someone to build another one with doors and windows. The two fathers usually stayed in it for several hours and never let anyone get close, not even him.
He always felt that his two fathers had hidden some incredible secret in there. He even once took a few of his brothers to sneak into the pavilion to look for treasure when his two fathers were not around. As a result, there was only a table and two chairs inside, and nothing else.
The fourth brother loved to read picture books. He said to Cheng Zhao, "They say that Lord Cheng is a god from heaven. Do you think this is the entrance to the divine world? We are all mortals, so we can't see that entrance."
"But eldest brother is the child of Lord Cheng and his wife, so he should be a little god. How come he is the same as us mortals?" the third brother asked in confusion.
When Cheng Zhao heard his third brother say that he was a little god, he was quite excited. But when he heard the following words, his heart sank again. Why were his fathers gods, but he was just a mortal? Could it be that I am a child picked up by my fathers?
He had been depressed for a long time, and today his father actually invited him to the small pavilion on the rockery. Could it be that his father was going to reveal his identity to him? Can he also travel to the Heavenly Palace with his fathers?
His mind was not on the birthday party. After eating the cake made by his father, he just wanted the evening to come quickly.
After finally getting everyone to leave, he hurried to the pavilion to wait for Cheng Yeran.
Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang entered the pavilion together, closed the door and locked it from the inside.
Cheng Zhao took out a candlestick and prepared to light it, then he saw a square box in his father's hand light up.
Cheng Zhao: "!"
At that moment, his heart seemed to fly out. He had clearly thought about the possibility that his father was a god, but when the moment came, he felt that he was not mentally prepared.
"You are already eight years old and you are my child. There are some things I must explain to you clearly, but you must remember to keep the secret. Don't tell anyone, not even your brothers." Cheng Yeran said this in advance to let him know the seriousness of the matter, and then told him the secret.
Cheng Zhao nodded solemnly, "What about Uncle Yuanbao and the others?"
"You can't tell me either." Shen Yuntang hugged the child and said, "Besides the three of us, no one else can know.
mutter
It was you who told others, and it put your father in danger. You must understand the seriousness of this matter. ”
Cheng Zhao nodded again, "Thank you fathers for your trust in me."
He was not only grateful to his fathers, but also very touched that they did not treat him like a child and told him such important things, believing that he would keep the secret.
"I'm not from this world, but I'm not a god either." Cheng Yeran briefly explained how he traveled through time, his identity before traveling through time, and the background of the times. He handed the phone to Cheng Zhao again: "This is your birthday present. I downloaded a few documentaries in it. You can learn about the world I'm talking about by watching them. There is also a shopping app in it. You can try to buy what you want, but you have to buy things under the supervision of the two of us."
Cheng Zhao was completely stunned and couldn't recover for a long time. The world his father was talking about was clearly the fairyland, so why did he say it wasn't?
It was rare for Shen Yuntang to see him stunned, and he must have had the same expression at that time.
"You'll understand it later." Shen Yuntang taught him step by step how to turn on the machine and how to use its functions, just like Cheng Yeran taught him before, and even more carefully.
The family stayed inside until late at night, but no one felt sleepy.
Fortunately, they told Cheng Zhao the truth when he was a child and taught him how to use a mobile phone. If it had been a few years later, Cheng Zhao's worldview would have been formed, and he would not have been able to accept everything Cheng Yeran said so quickly, nor would he have mastered how to use a mobile phone so quickly.
For a period of time afterwards, whenever Cheng Yeran was free, the three of them would stay in the pavilion together to buy things.
Cheng Zhao couldn't buy things that were not easy to put away, so he bought some books and future food, and could only look at the rest with envy.
After his birthday, his younger brothers often followed Lord Cheng and his wife to the mysterious pavilion. They all pestered him and asked him what was in the pavilion and whether Lord Cheng was really a god.
Cheng Zhao is a child who cannot lie. His fathers asked him to keep a secret, and he would never tell it unless asked. But now his younger brothers pester him with questions every day, which makes him very uncomfortable.
He could only keep a straight face and say to them seriously: "Don't ask any more questions. The secret cannot be revealed."
When they said this, the younger brothers became even more convinced that he had become an immortal with Lord Cheng, and might have even been to the Heavenly Palace several times. They were extremely envious and kept pestering Cheng Zhao to teach them the immortal arts.
