Chapter 173
Chapter 173
In the lobby of the Liu family, Liu Yu was teaching Zhen Mi how to play the qin.
The qin skills exchanged from the system made him very proficient in music.
"Brother-in-law plays really well." Zhen Mi hung her head and looked a little disappointed: "I don't know when I can play as well as brother-in-law."
"You have just started learning, and you still need a lot of practice." Liu Yu said patiently.
"Playing the qin is not an ordinary thing."
"Even if you are a genius, you need enough practice."
"Otherwise, you can't live up to the title of genius."
"Yes! Sister knows." Zhen Mi nodded seriously.
"I must practice hard."
"Try to play as well as brother-in-law."
"By the way!"
"Brother-in-law, can you play it for me again, the ambush just now."
"It's so beautiful."
"Okay." Liu Yu replied and started playing the qin.
Zhen Mi listened carefully at the side, and her two beautiful big eyes flashed with a strange light.
His eyes were fixed on Liu Yu, unable to move away.
Cai Yong entered the Liu family compound.
At the request of several commanders, he came to tell Liu Yu that the city gate tower had been completed.
Ask Liu Yu to go over and inspect it.
However, Cai Yong, who had just walked out of the lobby, was shocked when he heard the sound of the piano coming from inside.
He was proficient in music, but he actually heard a huge murderous aura from it.
The notes were solemn and murderous, and the denseness was like a formation of troops.
It seemed that he was about to pick up his weapons and fight desperately with the opponent.
Cai Yong trembled for no reason.
Could it be that his identity was discovered by someone, and the other party wanted to kill him.
Otherwise, how could there be a murderous aura in this music that was as real as reality?
Both legs began to tremble, and he hesitated to enter the lobby.
However, he was urged by the maid beside him.
Cai Yong could only bite the bullet and enter the hall.
"I greet the county magistrate."
Tick-tock.
A drop of sweat slid down his forehead.
It dripped onto the hard stone floor in the hall.
Liu Yu looked up, but his hand did not stop playing the piano.
Ding-ding-dong-dong.
The sound of the piano became more intense and magnificent.
"..." Cai Yong, standing in the hall, did not even dare to raise his head.
His eyes were always fixed on the ground.
The solemnity in the music became more and more intense, as if there were countless strong soldiers around him, tightly surrounding him.
It made Cai Yong even difficult to breathe.
Beads of sweat kept coming out and sliding down from his forehead.
"Huh?" Zhen Mi found the old scholar standing in the hall.
"Why is the old man sweating so much?"
"Are you ill?"
However, Cai Yong could not make a sound.
It was as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making him unable to speak.
His breath became extremely disordered, and Cai Yong was shocked.
Liu Yu's mouth curled up.
Cai Yong had a reputation for being proficient in music in the Han Dynasty.
When he was taking refuge in Jiangdong, someone invited him to a banquet, and he heard the murderous aura when the man played the piano.
And now, the ambush was just at its most intense moment, and the solemn scene described by the music definitely made Cai Yong feel a more intense sense of crisis.
This was also the reason why the other party's forehead was constantly sweating.
Seeing the other party's performance, Liu Yu added strength to his hands again.
The music became more undulating, magnificent, and extremely compact.
Cai Yong felt that his heart was about to burst in the rapid beating.
That feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.
Bang!
The string broke, and the notes stopped immediately.
Liu Yu frowned, sighed and said, "Since the strings of the zither are broken, there must be chaos."
He looked up at the trembling old scholar in the hall, squinted his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Cai Bojie, do you know your crime?!"
The stern voice of questioning spread in the hall.
Plop.
Cai Yong could no longer bear the huge pressure and knelt on the ground on the spot.
He prostrated himself on the ground and responded in horror: "I know my crime!"
However, in fear, he waited for a long time, but did not wait for the next word from the young county magistrate.
At a loss, he raised his head on the ground and secretly looked at the main seat.
But he found two feet close at hand.
He looked up quickly and found that the young county magistrate was standing in front of him, looking down at him.
The faint smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to see through him.
Oops!
Cai Yong suddenly remembered that the young county magistrate had called out his courtesy name.
"This, this, this..."
Cai Yong, who was still kneeling on the ground, was in a panic. It was too late to deny it now.
Just now, Bo Ji wasHe nodded in response to the shout.
What should I do?
His heart was in turmoil and he was extremely anxious.
Cai Yong didn't know how to deal with the situation.
Liu Yu leaned over and helped him up.
Cai Yong only felt a huge force on his arm, and then his body stood up uncontrollably.
He had no ability to resist at all.
"Then... that... County Magistrate, how did you know my true identity?" Cai Yong asked, but his voice was a little stuttering.
His panic was fully expressed.
"I had guessed it before." Liu Yu smiled.
"I wonder how Senior Bo Ji has been doing in our Tanghai County recently?"
"Uh..." Cai Yong glanced at the county magistrate beside him and nodded to confirm: "It's really good."
"However, I have a request."
"We are all scholars, please treat me with respect, magistrate."
"Don't beat me too much after I go to prison."
"My body can't stand such torture."
"I hope the county magistrate will inform the court and tell me how to deal with me..."
Cai Yong wiped the tears from his eyes while speaking.
It was not easy to run over from Bingzhou.
He tried to cover up in every possible way, but he never thought that his identity had been discovered by others.
With him like this, it is estimated that he will not be much better after returning to Taishan County.
It's so stupid!
All the experiences after being exiled made Cai Yong gradually have a new understanding of himself.
How can he survive in such a world if he doesn't know how to adapt to the situation?
Not to mention, protecting his family, wife and daughter.
Alas!
With a long sigh in his heart, Cai Yong said with a dejected look: "Please ask the county magistrate to call the soldiers to arrest me."
"Why arrest you?" Liu Yu smiled.
"No... don't arrest me?" Cai Yong was stunned. He never thought that after his identity was exposed, the young county magistrate in front of him would have such an attitude.
For a moment, he didn't know what the other party was going to do.
After all, he is a criminal now.
Running back secretly from the place of exile.
This is a matter of losing his head.
"Don't worry, in my opinion, you are just an old Confucian scholar in trouble." Liu Yu said slowly under the other party's gaze.
"I don't care whether you are Bo Ji or not."
"I just want a gentleman who can teach and answer questions for the young people in this county."
