Chapter 225 The old man’s grudges
The master Yi Zhen took Mi Yixian to meet was Mr. Liu.
After they got closer, they noticed that there were three people standing beside Mr. Liu, who happened to be blocked by a wall. No wonder they didn't see them just now.
Yi Zhen recognized the elder of the three and slowed down a little.
Mi Yixian next to him just pretended not to disturb others and stopped too.
"You were lucky enough to escape the crime of chopping off your hands back then, but now you are still stubborn and trying to do this business again."
"You know the truth back then, so why bother pretending in front of me."
“You embezzled public funds, drank while working and missed work, and you concealed it and failed to report it, causing the construction that was 30% completed to collapse. It collapsed, the workers were killed and injured, and the prince lost his leg, which humiliated the whole sect. "
"Lu Pi!"
"According to the rules, sinners like you should have their hands cut off and no longer be allowed to live again. You work in the industry with a carving knife, but you are so shameless that you hide in a border town and continue to cheat.”
Mr. Liu thought that his temper had been smoothed over the years, but now he realized that when faced with a despicable villain like Lu Pi, he could still be so angry that he picked up a hammer and hit him in the head.
Lu Pi was startled. Two disciples behind him stopped Mr. Liu in time. One of them reached out and tried to push the old man down.
However, they didn’t know that Mr. Liu, as the chief craftsman of the statue, was highly regarded by Zuo Si and others. In order to complete the work as soon as possible, he ate and drank everything good and did physical work every day. The body bones are better than before. The body hidden under the gray clothes is not old, and the muscles can be seen when exerting force.
The disciple pushed him mercilessly, but not only did he not push the old man down, but the old man seized the opportunity and hit the bones of his hand with a hammer, causing him to scream.
"You old guy..." The disciple got angry and cursed a few curse words indiscriminately, trying to make Mr. Liu look good.
He took a step forward, and suddenly the weeds on the ground in the corner grew wildly, wrapping the man tightly and clinging to the wall.
Both parties were shocked when this incident happened.
Mr. Liu recovered quickly, while Lu and Pi took several steps back and fled from the wall. They stared at the straw man disciple in horror with only his nose and eyes exposed, and then accused Mr. Liu.
“This, this, what the hell did you do!”
Mr. Liu himself didn’t know what was going on, but the temple was so magical that this change was nothing.
"If you don't do anything wrong, how can you be punished?"
"You!"
At this moment, Lu Pi, who had changed his position, saw Yi Zhen not far away. Two people.
The two sides looked at each other. When Yi Zhen knew that he had been discovered, he walked over and smiled at Mr. Liu first: "Master Liu."
Lu Pi, who had just smiled and was about to speak, had a stiff mouth. live.
Mr. Liu did not recognize Yi Zhen, "Who is this young master?"
Yi Zhen said: "It's not surprising that the master doesn't recognize me. I was too young at that time. But I often listen to Master Liu's works." Only when the father praised him."
"Your Highness." Mr. Liu finally realized that this person was a prince.
He was about to salute, but was stopped by Yi Zhen.
He introduced Mi Yixian to Mr. Liu again. When he saw Mr. Liu staring at Mi Yixian's face and then looking thoughtful, he felt more confident.
When introducing Mr. Liu to Mi Yixian, he was talking about Mr. Liu's previous works and his participation in the glory of the Royal Construction Team.
Mr. Liu was in a daze for a moment when he heard what Yi Zhen said so well.
After regaining consciousness, he looked at Yi Zhen again, and his eyes were a little more friendly. No matter how sincere Yi Zhen was when he said this, he must have put in a lot of effort.
The interaction between the three people as if no one else was watching made Lu Pi's face become increasingly ugly, with a trace of suspicion and fear in it.
The fourth prince is obviously favoring Liu Shan!
What does this mean?
Lu Pi didn't dare to think about it anymore and couldn't help but interrupt, "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, you don't know something. Liu Shan's skills are... not bad, but he doesn't have the character of a craftsman. He made mistakes and was injured." Prince An was condemned and demoted by His Majesty..."
Yi Zhen interrupted him, "Master Lu, regarding I also knew that the Lianshan Garden case was handled jointly by Lingji Duwei Mansion and Dali Temple, and my father had no involvement in it. After the Lianshan Garden was completed, my father took me to visit and mentioned Master Liu. It's not like that kind of person. It's a pity that he has left and it is inconvenient to force him to stay."
When Lu Pi heard this, he felt a chill in his body.
Having said all that, there is still something he doesn't understand: Liu Shan's case is probably going to be retried, and the result of the review is destined to be that Liu Shan is innocent!
If the fourth prince dares to tell His Majesty, he will definitely get His Majesty's permission.
And Liu Shan is innocent. Those who investigated the case, those who testified, and those behind the false accusation against Liu Shan all have to be shouldered by someone to sacrifice for Liu Shan!
Lu Pi almost knelt on the ground and begged the fourth prince for mercy, but when he met Yi Zhen's indifferent gaze, Lu Pi lowered his head and said he would leave beforehand, and ran away without looking back.
Liu Shan looked over and saw Lu Pi's back in a panic, as if he had fled.
He suddenly understood something.
But Yi Zhen pointed at the straw man disciple against the wall, changed the subject and asked: "Master Liu, what's wrong with him?"
Mr. Liu thought for a while and responded: "I don't know, but there is a spirit in the temple. He probably broke some taboos."
Yi Zhen: "That's right. I was in the main hall just now. Inside, the idol appeared, and all the disciples of Si Yefu received divine grace and transformed from human beings into divine generals! I heard that the idol was the work of the master, and it was just as the father said, and the master's craftsmanship has returned to its original state."
Mr. Liu was not dazzled by the praise, "The statue was painted by the Son of God. I just tried my best to restore it."
Although he does have a desire to win and wants to prove himself, there is absolutely no problem in showing his skills and craftsmanship to the royal family.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Mr. Liu is relieved and finds out that whether his case will be retried, he doesn't care so much about the outcome after the retrial.
He thought that even if the royal family cleared him and invited him back to the royal ranks, he would not leave.
Yi Zhen thought of Mi Feixue in front of the statue because of Mr. Liu's words.
Under the divine power, only the child remained standing, and even Pei Rongrong, known as the fairy child, could not compare.
On the other side, Lu Pi ran out of the temple without looking back, passed through the dense crowd outside, and went straight to where the carriage was parked.
The disciples behind him shouted in confusion: "Master, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Lu Pi: "Run away!"
The disciples were even more confused, "We Why are you running?"
"If you don't run, you will be dead! You idiot!" Lu Pi jumped up with joy in his heart.
But he was about to ride away, regardless of the surprised disciples, when a figure suddenly appeared and took his reins, "Master Lu, please stay."
Lu Pi recognized this as the royal secret Wei, completely convinced of his suspicions, fell down from the floor with a pale face.
He is finished.
