After passing through the book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 49 Traitor

Melome went out alone, wandering around, hoping to find some business opportunities.

Shuangcheng County is indeed much larger than Shuanghe Town. It even has several more streets and is more lively.

When Merome walked to a place, she suddenly heard a burst of noise. When she looked up, she saw the crowd upstairs shaking.

It turned out that he had reached the downstairs of a tavern without knowing it, touched his stomach, and then entered the tavern.

Went up to the second floor, ordered a few dishes and a pot of tea, and listened to the storyteller in the lobby downstairs while eating.

There was a storyteller sitting on the stage downstairs. He was elegant and handsome in a blue gown.

"Last time we talked about Emperor Gaozu Jun's seventy-second concubine becoming pregnant and giving birth to a Lin'er, who became the nineteenth prince."

The storyteller cleared his throat, raised his hand and patted the gavel, and then said slowly: "Today we continue to talk about the nineteen princes. It is said that when the nineteen princes were born, it was a hot summer, but as the ten years passed,

When the Ninth Prince was born, there was a sudden thunder and lightning, a strong wind, and a heavy rain."

"There was a vision coming from the sky, and the National Preceptor made some calculations, saying that a demon boy had arrived in the southeast, which might endanger the country's dragon veins. After hearing this, Emperor Gaozu was shocked and ordered the National Preceptor to find him quickly."

"Everyone searched all the way and finally found Li Luo Yuan. At this time, someone from the palace reported that the 72nd concubine of Li Luo Yuan suddenly collapsed from blood and was unable to recover."

"When Emperor Jun entered, he was already stiff, and a generation of beloved concubines died unexpectedly."

"The National Preceptor predicted that the newborn baby would be a demon child, a person who would cause harm to the country and the people, and would be punished by death. The matter was considered over at this point, but who would have expected that this was being heard by a palace maid next to the beloved concubine, who hugged her

She fled the palace with the baby, and no one knows where she went."

After the storyteller finished speaking, he reached out to pick up the tea cup next to him and drank the tea in one gulp.

"So what? Have you found the demon boy?"

Stopping at the critical moment immediately aroused people's curiosity and hurriedly asked questions.

Although Merome didn't believe in the demon boy, she couldn't help but be interested in the story. She stretched her neck and looked at the storyteller with wide eyes.

The storyteller aroused everyone's curiosity, and then said slowly and authentically: "Three years passed by, and Emperor Gaozu was seriously ill and passed away. In the fifteenth year of Suxing's reign, the prince succeeded to the throne in the same year, which is what we are now.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty granted a general pardon and ordered people to search for this half-brother, but the search was fruitless until six years ago, when the Nineteenth Prince suddenly appeared in the palace."

Audience 1: "Ah...how did he get in?"

Audience 2: "Is he really the Nineteenth Prince? He can't be a fake, right?"

Audience 3: "Didn't you say he is a demon boy? Why is the emperor looking for him?"

Audience 4: "You don't know this, right? Our emperor is so kind, how can he not take care of his half-brother?"

Audience 5: "That's right."

Audience 6: “What happened next?”

Everyone was talking about it for a while. Merome finished all the dishes, took a sip of tea, and held the cup thoughtfully.

Things may not be that simple!

"Quiet." The storyteller patted the gavel again and stood up. "If you want to hear what happens next, please listen to the next chapter."

Everyone: "..."

This author has a way of writing cards, but I didn’t expect that the ancient storytellers also had a way of writing cards.

Melome didn't ask any questions, stood up, walked to the front desk, paid the money, and continued walking.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind me, and I hurriedly stepped aside.

Two fast horses galloped past, and finally slowed down a little way ahead. Two men in government uniforms got off their horses, took something from the horse, unfolded it, and put it on the wall next to them.

.

"Everyone come and have a look. If you see this person and report it quickly and provide clues, you will be rewarded with a silver of one hundred taels. If you help the government catch this person, you will be rewarded with a silver of one thousand taels. If you can catch the person yourself and send him to the government, you will be rewarded with a silver of five thousand taels."

The two yamen servants posted the notice, struck the gong three more times, and then read out the contents of the notice.

"Five thousand taels, I may never earn so much silver in my life. But the reward is so high, is this person a big devil?"

"He is not a demon, but more terrifying than a demon. Isn't it mentioned above? This person collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country. He is guilty of treason."

There was a literate scholar who read the announcement and pointed to it to explain it to others.

"Treason? Not everyone can be punished. This person's conscience has been eaten by dogs, and he still dares to betray his country. Bah..."

Those who read the notice were filled with indignation, pointing at the notice, spitting, and shouting that they should be beaten and killed.

After everyone had seen it, Merome walked over.

She also wanted to see the ancient version of the notice.

When I took a closer look at the notice, I saw that it contained a variety of charges against this person for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and also mentioned the reward rules.

"this……?"

After reading the words, Merome looked at the portrait again, and felt that the person above was particularly young, no more than eleven or twelve years old, and looked very familiar.

When I look closely, I can't see anything, because the ancient portraits are really abstract, and apart from their charm, there seems to be no other features at all.

Melome twitched her mouth. She really couldn't connect this young man with the crime of treason, but now that she saw the wanted notice, it showed that the court paid great attention to this person and would not give up until he got him.

"Girl, do you know this person?"

Melome was looking at it seriously when someone suddenly came over to chat with her.

"I don't know."

Melome shook her head and prepared to leave.

"Xiaosheng saw the girl looking here for a long time and thought she knew her."

The person who came over to chat was a scholar, who smiled as if he was harmless.

"If the girl knows this person, she can provide some clues, and maybe she can get some silver reward."

"I don't know him, but I was curious that this traitor was so young, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances." Melome looked bad.

This scholar made it look like she knew something but didn't report it.

"Oh. So that's it. Xiaosheng thought the girl knew this person."

The scholar looked at the person on the notice and said sarcastically: "This means that people should not be judged by their appearance."

He added: "This man is still a member of the royal family. Now he has defected to the enemy. Do you think our Majesty can spare him?"

"A member of the royal family?"

"Of course, the Nineteenth Prince of the late Emperor was a demon boy when he was born. Now His Majesty has mercifully forgiven him and given him a title to guard the border. Unexpectedly, he gathered all his strength and betrayed the country, resulting in the death of more than 100,000 soldiers at the border.

The border crossing almost fell."

The scholar was indignant and gnashing his teeth, as if he wanted to tear off the people in the painting and tear them into pieces.

"You seem to hate him?"

Melome looked at the notice again and had to ask the question in her heart.

"I can't say I hate you, I just feel shameless. Anyone who finds these traitors will punish them."

He stared at Melome and said word by word: "What do you think, girl?"

Are you testing me?

Melome smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, traitors will be found and punished by everyone."
