Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Chu Liang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Your Highness Prince Yi has seen enough of the excitement, why don't you leave?"

Zhou Chang's eyes never let go of Peng Liang, and suddenly he had an idea: "By the way, Lord Chu, I want to ask you something."

Chu Liang stepped back into the shade of the tree and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, please speak."

"Lord Chu, have you heard that about two months ago, a top kabuki in Yaoyuefang was kidnapped?" Prince Yi and Chu Liang had dealt with each other before, so they had some friendship, so Zhou Chang's question was just a casual chat.

Gao Yuan's veins bulged.

Chu Liang was not surprised, and did not think much about it, so he smiled and said, "Ah, I seem to have heard that it also involves Your Highness Prince Yi, but such matters have always been handled by the City Patrol Department and the government office, and the Dali Temple is powerless."

He cleared himself of all responsibility as soon as he arrived, because he had to be prepared for the possibility that Prince Yi would ask him to help find someone.

"Don't worry, Lord Chu. I won't ask the Dali Temple to help find someone. I just want to ask if there are any relevant clues or unknown news?" Zhou Chang didn't get to the point yet.

Chu Liang looked at Zhou Chang, then glanced at Peng Liang beside him, and suddenly reacted.

The disappearance of the "Flying Flower Fairy" was related to the jealousy between Prince Yi's Mansion and the son of the Minister of War.

I just regret that I didn’t think of it just now and reacted a little too slowly. I should not get involved in such things.

Chu Liang fanned himself with his hand and said, "I have not received any relevant clues. The Dali Temple has always only tried criminal cases. As for other matters, I am sorry that I don't know anything."

"It's fine if Lord Chu doesn't know, but I think he might know." Zhou Chang turned around and pointed at Peng Liang who was still standing next to Liu Dexia's body.

“Who is this…?” Chu Liang also pretended to be confused.

Peng Liang bowed and introduced himself: "I am Peng Liang, the son of the Minister of War."

"Oh, so he is Lord Peng's son." It is impossible that Chu Liang has never seen him before. At least he was present at the old princess' 70th birthday party.

When Peng Liang heard Prince Yi suddenly mention Liu E in person, he knew something was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "Lord Chu, Eunuch Liu's death was obviously suspicious. Are you not going to investigate further?"

"Oh? Master Peng, are you questioning me? Why don't you tell me what's so strange about it?" Chu Liang originally felt that the job he took today should not be from the Dali Temple, and he just wanted to smooth things over.

Usually, the death of someone in the inner palace was handled by themselves, and it was never his turn to be dealt with by the Dali Temple.

It was just because he was in the Hunting Palace and the situation was special, so he couldn't refuse openly.

Peng Liang just wanted to divert attention, but he didn't expect to annoy Chu Liang again and was about to speak.

Zhou Chang intercepted: "Master Chu, don't pay attention to him. I was just trying to pin the matter of the disappearance of Fairy Feihua from Yaoyuefang on him, but he was trying to change the subject."

Chu Liang was stunned, mainly because he didn't expect Prince Yi to bring his jealousy so directly to the table.

Zhou Chang raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chu. When will I ever give you a chance to get out of trouble? I just want to ask, what is the crime for the son of an imperial official to kidnap a kabuki? What is the crime if he kills someone? Does the Dali Temple handle such cases?"

"Uh..." Chu Liang didn't want to get involved, so he answered truthfully, "If it's kidnapping, depending on the severity of the circumstances, the punishment is fifty strokes of the cane and a minimum sentence of ten years in prison. If it's murder, as the saying goes, 'princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as commoners', the final trial of murder and death cases is in the Dali Temple."

"Did Master Peng hear it?" Zhou Chang asked Peng Liang with a smile.

Peng Liang's face turned pale, but he still managed to be tough: "Why do you ask this, Your Highness Prince Yi?"

Zhou Chang did not expect Peng Liang to answer, and turned to Chu Liang again, his eyes curved into two crescent moons: "Lord Chu, if someone committed such a crime of kidnapping, rape and murder, and I killed the person in advance, would that be okay?"

"You, you, you..." Before Chu Liang could answer, Peng Liang stepped back in fear.

Zhou Chang just waved his hand.

Gao Yuan rushed forward in two steps and grabbed Peng Liang.

Chu Liang looked left and right, thinking only of how to clear himself: "Your Highness Prince Yi must be joking. If such a thing really happened, please make a wise decision, Your Majesty. I, the Dali Temple, cannot make a judgment on this, this, etc...."

"Lord Chu, you just said that 'princes are subject to the same punishment as common people when they break the law', you..." Peng Liang was caught by Gao Yuan, struggling and shouting, then Gao Yuan picked him up and threw him to the ground, and he immediately fell silent.

Zhou Chang ignored Peng Liang and said to Chu Liang: "It's so hot, Lord Chu, why don't you go back first. I have something else to ask this Lord Peng."

Chu Liang didn't leave because he was waiting for the disposal of Liu Dexia's body.

But if he doesn't leave now and waits here foolishly, he will not be the Minister of the Dali Temple.

“Then I will take my leave first.” Chu Liang glanced at Peng Liang again, still worried. “However, Your Highness Prince Yi… you should think twice, don’t make a big fuss. I will also…”

Zhou Chang waved his hands twice as if to drive him away: "Don't worry, Lord Chu. Even if he dies, it can't be blamed on your Dali Temple."

Chu Liang said no more and hurriedly left with his people.

Peng Liang collapsed and winked at the people behind him, signaling: "What are you still standing there for? Go find my dad..."

"Bang..." Gao Yuan kicked.

When the skinny monkey saw this, he went up to stop them.

Zhou Chang stopped the thin monkey with a look: "No need, let him call for help. What can Peng's men do to me if they come?"

He then pointed to the dry well and said, "It's right next to this dry well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yuan understood what he meant. He dragged Peng Liang to the edge of the well with one hand and made him hit his head hard on the edge of the well.

The followers who followed Peng Liang nearby and had not yet run away were so frightened that they were about to scatter.

Zhou Chang stopped them, "Stand still. Where are you going? Why don't you stay here and guard Eunuch Liu's body until Deputy Commander Tang comes back to deal with it?"

Those people were so frightened that their legs went limp. They had to stand still, hunched over and not daring to look up.

Only then did Zhou Chang move the dry well.

He first walked around the well mouth, picked up a dead branch, turned around and used the branch to lift Peng Liang's chin: "Look at me..."

Peng Liang was lying on the wellhead, his lower back pinned down by Gao Yuan's kick. He could only barely lift his head to look at Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang's words were very soft, but they were loud enough for Peng Liang to hear clearly: "I have warned you before. If you look at my princess one more time, I will dig out your eyes. Humph... You violated the rules last night..."

"I didn't see anything." Peng Liang first denied it.

Zhou Chang also turned a deaf ear to him and poked Peng Liang's left eye with the tip of the branch: "I will lend you these eyes for a few more days, but it depends on how you perform."

Peng Liang instinctively closed his eyes and dodged, his teeth chattering: "You, you, what are you going to do?"

"Then let's get to the point..." Zhou Chang changed from poking to patting, tapping Peng Liang's cheek, "Tell me, where did you take the flying flower fairy Liu Eliu?"
