On the way back, Hu Panpan was thinking about the four of them and just came up with the second line of the couplet: In ancient times, drummers were familiar with ancient poems.
The full meaning is that while ancient drummers certainly knew ancient poetry, they were far from the "all modern Jinshi are shortsighted" line. The first couplet is filled with irony, while their second couplet seems to be a play on homophones, completely incomparable.
"Uncle, have you ever met Lord Zhang Dongzheng?" Hu Panpan wondered if this uncle was actually Zhang Dongzheng in disguise. She was certain that this uncle was in disguise.
"This man is very handsome... with oily hair and powdered face, and a thin figure..." The key point is that Zhang Dongzheng is married. If he is not, Hu Zhenxing would not mind his niece marrying him.
"Will he be as fat as the uncle?"
"Won't."
Judging from his figure, he shouldn't be Lord Zhang. Who is that uncle? And the woman next to him, she looks like a martial artist. "I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm tired today. I'll go home and rest first," Hu Panpan thought to herself.
As soon as the prefect returned home, he slapped his son hard. Isn't this young man the gentleman in gorgeous clothes from that day?
"You usually act recklessly, and I let you do whatever you want. But how big of a disaster have you caused today? Just take the Hu family army for example; they could raze our Zhang Mansion to the ground at any moment! Don't you know what the situation is like at the court right now? Once His Majesty returns to the palace, someone will report this to him..."
The young man retorted, "I'm afraid he can't go back? The Xue family has rebelled! The one who is behind the government wouldn't want him to go back..."
"Pa!" Zhang Zhilin slapped the young man again. "Anyone can make irresponsible remarks about state affairs, but you are the prefect's son, you cannot! Find a way to settle this matter immediately! Otherwise, I will kick you out of this family!!"
Is it that serious?
The Hu family was angry!
Prince An was also angry!
No, Your Majesty, you are even angrier!!
There are countless people...
"It's all that bitch Chuchu's fault! She deliberately sang in that tune! I didn't ask her to sing like that!" The young man wanted to strangle Chuchu to death. It was all her fault. "I'm going to kill her!"
"You can't kill her now! People say it was you powerful people who forced her to sing... You knew she was singing His Majesty's song like this, why didn't you go up and stop her? Are you a pig?"
"She had only sung a few lines when a one-eyed burly man came out to cause trouble. He was a waiter at the Linjiang Tavern..."
"Do you know that the one-eyed man might be one of His Majesty's men?"
"Ah... what should we do? How about we send someone..." to silence the witness!
"If anything happens to him, our entire Zhang family will be buried with him!" Prince An, the Hu family, and His Majesty are all protecting him... "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. Oh, don't worry about this matter. Someone, come, watch over the young master. For the next few days, he is not allowed to leave the ancestral hall. Anyone who dares to let him leave without permission will be beaten to death by this government!"
Some jokes are not to be taken!
How many people were beheaded during the Qing Dynasty’s literary inquisition?
So why does this delicate girl dare to “play” like this?
Because she is not a Jing citizen at all, but a spy sent by the Yue Kingdom, who has been lurking on the banks of the Daqin River for many years!
To be precise, she came to "lead astray" the scholars of Jingguo!
What is she doing now? The spy told her where Baili Tang and the others are now.
"Yu, if you hadn't instigated this, the public outrage wouldn't have been aroused so quickly... You sent a few dozen people to kill them... No, wouldn't that be too easy for you? This way..."
After giving these instructions, Chuchu found a woman who was somewhat similar to her - first destroy some of the woman's face, so that it would be half true and half false!
Then let this woman hang herself in her place. She can no longer use the identity of Chuchu. It's a pity for her, she has worked hard for so many years!
Not to mention that she sang such a song and still pretended to be pitiful... The woman from Wuya Peak was even more pitiful. Just look at the rumors in the streets. People were talking about her having that dirty disease... From now on, how many men would dare to approach her?
She could only prove her innocence by "hanging herself." She also had to use Liu Zhongqing and others once... to let them seek justice for her...
What are Liu Zhongqing and others doing?
After today's verbal battle, Liu Zhongqing had completely doubted his life - what had he done all these years? He was just a well-read, selfish and cynical scholar...
"Zhong Qing, stop drinking!"
"Yes, Zhong Qing! Don't take the words of a street scoundrel to heart!"
Liu Zhongqing smiled bitterly: "If he is a street scoundrel, then am I not even as good as a street scoundrel?"
An hour later, someone hurried over and said, "Oh no! Something terrible has happened! Miss Chuchu, unable to bear the humiliation, has hanged herself! She even left behind a letter written in blood!"
"This is indeed Miss Chuchu's handwriting!!"
"Miss Chuchu is truly a chaste and heroic woman!"
After dawn, the news that Baili Tang had forced a brothel girl to death spread like wildfire.
Listen to what the neighbors say about her:
"She's dead, that's a good thing! Why should such a vixen be worthy of sympathy?"
"After all, it's a young life. If the powerful hadn't forced her to, she wouldn't have sung like that."
"That one-eyed man's words were a bit sharp, but she wouldn't die, would she?"
"It's said that it was a one-eyed man who falsely accused her of being a spy from an enemy country and that she had a filthy disease. But she was clearly a prostitute..."
Oh, those who sympathize with Chuchu are most likely her people. She is guiding public opinion!
Not long after, Aunt Lan, the mother of Cuiyi Tower, ordered people to carry Chuchu's body and Chuchu's blood letter to the government office to file a complaint. Accompanying them were many sisters from Cuiyi Tower, as well as scholars such as Liu Zhongqing.
Who are you suing? Baili Tang! That one-eyed man!
Last night, Ye Hongxue finally stopped tying up Baili Tang and pressing his acupoints. She was, of course, afraid of the poison that Baili Tang mentioned, which would make her grow a beard.
At first, Ye Hongxue couldn't fall asleep and always wanted to talk to Baili Tang.
In just one day, Baili Tang gave her countless surprises. She wanted to get to know this man better...
It’s a pity that Baili Tang was so rude and fell asleep first.
The next day, after the two woke up, they had breakfast at the inn. The waiter told them, "Sir, you've been sued!"
To be precise: Your Majesty, you are accused!
"What's going on?" Baili Tang frowned. Was he being sued because of what happened yesterday? Where was justice?
"Last night, Miss Chuchu committed suicide and left a blood letter saying that you framed her... and forced her to death!" Judging from the tone, the waiter didn't believe it either, right?
"Poof!!" Ye Hongxue, who was eating a bun, choked!
"Ha ha!"
Baili Tang ignored Ye Hongxue's loss of composure and asked the waiter, "Do you know the contents of the blood letter?"
The waiter shook his head.
At this time a woman read:
"I have been helpless since childhood, but fortunately my aunt treated me like her own daughter... I learned to play the piano at the age of five, the flute at the age of six, and dance at the age of seven..."
"Uncle, you've caused trouble! What should we do now? Soon, the government officials will come to arrest you and question you! Who knows, they might even punish you!"
