Chapter 413 Mr. Liang
[Lord Han?!] Xia Miaoyuan was suddenly startled, and just took a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, forgetting to chew.
[The Lord Han they are talking about, I wonder if it is Han Lie.]
The second prince held the bowl of rice and continued to eat slowly, his expression unchanged, but he tilted his head slightly.
There were three men sitting at the table next to him, a fat black man, a man with sideburns, and a white-skinned scholar.
The one who just spoke was the fat black man.
The white-faced scholar continued: "Lord Han? Is it that Lord Han?" As he said that, he made a thumbs-up gesture with his hand and raised it diagonally above himself.
The fat black man said, "Of course, who else could it be? It's the prime minister of this dynasty, Lord Han."
The man with beard blinked his eyes, "Tell me quickly, what happened to Lord Han?"
Before the fat black man could answer, the fair-faced scholar interrupted, "Isn't it about his son who died suddenly? I heard that his only son died suddenly a few days ago, and his wife became seriously ill due to a severe blow."
"Oh, how pitiful!"
The fat black man rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "What sudden death, serious illness, those are what they said to the outside world."
After hearing this, the scholar and the man with beard opened their eyes wide, and their hands holding the chopsticks hung in the air.
The fat black man looked around vigilantly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice, approached the two people, and said mysteriously: "My cousin is doing business in the capital. I heard from him that Han Jie, the son of Mr. Han, and his wife were assassinated."
"Han Jie died on the spot, and his wife was lucky to survive."
The scholar and the man with sideburns were so shocked that they almost cried out, and they covered their mouths.
The fat black man whispered again: "Don't spread this!"
The two nodded hurriedly.
[Wow, Han Lie's only son is dead? ! ] Xia Miaoyuan felt his heart skip a beat.
This is big news!
Xia Miaoyuan remembered clearly that in the original book, Han Lie was the real powerful official of Dai Viet, and he had only one son, Han Jie.
Han Lie attached great importance to this son, taught him carefully, and cultivated him meticulously. Later, Han Jie also became an important official of Dai Viet.
But now, he is dead? And he died suddenly from an assassination? This is really too strange.
The brother and sister were still thinking about the assassination of Han Jie, and the three men at the table next to them started talking again.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Have you heard about it?" The fat black man asked mysteriously.
"What is it? Tell me quickly!" The other two urged.
The fat black man lowered his voice: "The only son died suddenly. Logically, the father should be heartbroken and take a leave to slow down for a while."
The other two nodded.
"Guess what was Lord Han's reaction? Not only did he not take leave, he even recommended someone to the emperor a few days ago."
The scholar asked hurriedly, "Who did he recommend? Recommending him at this time, he must be a very important talent, right?"
The fat black man whispered, "It is said that he is a scholar in his thirties with extraordinary knowledge. He lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, specializing in the study of state governance."
"This person is called Mr. Liang, and now he is the emperor's teacher."
The scholar sighed, "Oh, he is in his thirties and he is the emperor's teacher. He must be a real talent. No wonder Lord Han ignored the grief of his bereaved son and recommended this person to the emperor."
[In his thirties, Mr. Liang! ] Xia Miaoyuan was even more shocked when he heard these keywords.
[Could this person be Liang Chaozong? ]
[The age and surname are all consistent. Moreover, Liang Chaozong is well-versed in poetry and has specialized in statecraft when he was young. With his knowledge, it is no problem for him to teach the teenage emperor of Dai Viet. ]
[Oh, I'm so curious! I really want to verify whether that person is Liang Chaozong. ]
Xia Miaoyuan's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't even care about the steaming food on the table.
The second prince pinched his chin, and was also very curious.
His eyes turned, he stood up, and naturally walked to the table next to him.
"Hey!" Xia Miaoyuan called him in surprise.
[What are you doing, second brother? ]
The three men at the table next to him saw a stranger approaching, and their faces showed a look of vigilance and disgust.
"Three brothers!" The second prince bowed and smiled.
"What's the matter?" The black fat man's tone was extremely unfriendly.
The second prince smiled even more flatteringly: "Brother, I am really curious, what does Mr. Liang look like?"
"Is he tall? Is he handsome?"
The black fat man rolled his eyes at the second prince and said proudly: "You asked me the right person."
"This Mr. Liang is extremely tall and handsome, with extraordinary appearance, he is simply a dragon among men!"
The second prince clasped his fists and smiled: "I am so lucky! I heard a few days ago that there was a new Mr. Liang around the emperor. I was curious about what kind of person he was, but I had no place to ask, and then I ran into you."
"Thank you so much, brother!"
The fat black man was flattered by the second prince, and his face immediately blossomed: "Little brother, why are you being so polite!"
Xia Miaoyuan had just seen the second prince run to the next table without saying hello. He was worried at first, but then he understood the second prince's intention.
[Second brother's acting skills are good now. ]
[Second brother specifically asked if Mr. Liang was tall and handsome. Did he think of Liang Chaozong? ]
[The fat black man said that Mr. Liang was tall, handsome, and had an extraordinary appearance. Isn't it more in line with Liang Chaozong?
The second prince listened to his sister's voice and felt sorry for her, so he leaned close to her face and whispered, "Miao'er, when you heard what they said about Mr. Liang, do you think he looks like Liang Chaozong?" Xia
Miaoyuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
The second prince said, "After we finish eating, we'll go back and talk to Prince Yue and the others."
The brother and sister ate faster and finished in a short while.
The second prince asked the store owner to pack some food for Jinhu, Yinbao and others, then picked up Xia Miaoyuan and walked out the door.
Because he was thinking about something, he didn't pay much attention to the road.
Unexpectedly, just after walking a few steps, he bumped into a man walking towards him.
"Ouch!" Xia Miaoyuan screamed.
The second prince was holding her and collided with the man. Xia Miaoyuan was naturally the first to be hit.
The man also covered his head and screamed.
The second prince hurriedly stopped and checked his sister's condition, "Miao'er, are you okay?"
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the second prince blankly and murmured, "It's okay, I was just scared."
Seeing that his sister was okay, the second prince said to the man he bumped into, "I'm sorry, brother!" As
he said, he raised his head and looked forward, but found that there was no one in front of him.
"Sir, that person has gone. You don't need to apologize." Jin Hu reminded him.
Xia Miaoyuan hugged the second prince's neck and looked forward. He saw a thin man in a black robe walking forward hurriedly.
Presumably, that person was the one who bumped into the second prince just now.
