Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 127 Banquet

After nightfall.

Magistrate Liu followed the chamberlain into the palace, where a banquet was being held for Magistrate Liu's arrival.

It's just that the guests were changed from His Majesty and Magistrate Liu to the Queen, who also came in to intervene.

Magistrate Liu was walking on the palace road, laughing wildly in his heart. The emperor and empress did not get along, and each wanted to seize power and amass wealth, but he looked down upon these two.

After thinking about the three princes again, I actually felt that Da Jin was very ridiculous.

The chamberlain who followed Magistrate Liu along the way saw Magistrate Liu's expression in his eyes.

But the chamberlain also quietly noticed the entourage following County Magistrate Liu.

When Magistrate Liu went back to change clothes, he met Xu Yihuan. When Xu Yihuan heard about it, he was interested in the current situation behind enemy lines, so he pestered Magistrate Liu to follow him into the palace.

Naturally, County Magistrate Liu was not worried. After all, the emperor and empress were now asking for help from him, not him asking them in turn. In recent years, others did not know the expenditure of the Jin treasury, but he knew it best.

The emperor and empress loved luxury and pleasure, and most of the business in Kyoto was to serve the royal family and nobles.

Ordinary civilians have no chance to enjoy themselves. Now they are looking for him just because the money in Kyoto has been basically emptied by him.

He recalled the treasure house in Xiaocheng. Miss Xu's face changed after reading it, but she didn't know that more than half of the wealth of the Jin Kingdom was now in the Xiaocheng treasure house.

He glanced at Xu Yihuan, who was standing one step behind him. His face was cautious, but his eyes were looking around the palace, obviously curious about everything here.

He couldn't help but slow down, and after walking for less than a cup of tea, the chamberlain finally reminded him: "County Magistrate Liu, His Majesty and the Queen are waiting. Let's hurry up."

Magistrate Liu raised a faint smile and said, "I haven't eaten yet today, so I can't walk fast."

When the chamberlain heard this, his face was startled. He glanced at Magistrate Liu's face. His face was red and his complexion was rosy. He didn't look like he was hungry at all. However, thinking of the Queen's polite tone towards him, the chamberlain endured it silently and remained silent. .

Xu Yihuan was cautious at first, but after noticing that Magistrate Liu had slowed down her pace, she became bolder. From the low eyebrow at the beginning, to now she straightened up and looked around, and the waiters on the side were surprised when they looked at her.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. He was indeed someone whom the Queen empress valued, and even the little guard around him was so courageous.

After a group of people entered the palace, they walked for an hour after originally arriving at the palace in half an hour. The Queen and Her Majesty saw the chamberlain reporting that Magistrate Liu had entered the palace, and wanted to make a show of it before going there, but Magistrate Liu acted like this. After a while, the Queen and His Majesty were waiting for Magistrate Liu at the palace banquet.

The chamberlains were greatly surprised by the patience of the Queen and Your Majesty. Only the Queen and Your Majesty knew that they were forced to the end.

Xiaocheng did not send taxes for three months, which had a great impact on their lives. Now that there is another riot in Yuecheng, they also want to get some taxes from Magistrate Liu as an emergency.

Especially the queen, the three trouble-making sons behind her, if Magistrate Liu is willing to show a little bit of his hands, the four million taels is just a trivial matter.

As for County Magistrate Liu, since he took control of Xiaocheng, he has gradually begun to establish his own intelligence network in various places. The intelligence network in Kyoto is even denser than other places.

Entered the palace.

Magistrate Liu saluted the two of them with a very respectful gesture and stood still with a smile on his lips.

Your Majesty has not seen Magistrate Liu for many years. At this moment, except for the two more beards on the corners of Magistrate Liu's mouth, there is no change at all in him.

He smiled slightly and said: "Young people are energetic, and Xiaocheng's feng shui nourishes people. Magistrate Liu is still as personable as ever." The chamberlain was standing by, and his heart beat when he heard it. When had His Majesty ever said such flattering words? The county magistrate is just a county magistrate. Your Majesty crushing him to death is just as simple as crushing an ant to death.

County Magistrate Liu bowed his head and said: "When I meet Your Majesty, I am still as handsome and majestic as before. I have to run around doing business, eat and sleep in the open, and I am already old."

When His Majesty heard this, he felt very guilty. Who doesn't know that in the past ten years, his body has become more and more plump. Now that he sees the queen and concubines, he feels powerless many times, let alone saying that he is still strong.

He forced a smile, knowing that Magistrate Liu was trying to flatter him, but he still stopped it.

"Magistrate Liu is becoming more and more eloquent. Come, please sit down."

After he sat down, the queen also said with a smile: "This is my first time to see Magistrate Liu. I didn't expect Magistrate Xiaocheng to be so young. I wonder if Magistrate Liu is married?"

Originally she wanted to ask for money, but when the queen saw his age, she suddenly changed her tune and spoke in such a begging tone. She might as well give him a marriage and give him her most caring maid, which would not be considered an insult to his county. Order's title.

It would be a good thing for a mere county magistrate to marry the queen's maid. The queen was concentrating on her plan, but she heard County Magistrate Liu say: "My beloved wife passed away many years ago. I swear that I will marry you for the rest of my life." Not to marry"

Xu Yihuan stood behind Magistrate Liu, and her eyes lit up when she heard that Magistrate Liu was actually a widower.

When the queen heard this, she still did not give up and said: "Good men are everywhere, not to mention that Magistrate Liu is a talented person. He has guarded his deceased wife like a jade for so many years. I believe that your wife, Izhixia, will also miss you and your husband, so that you can have a caring person as soon as possible." "Here comes someone." She didn't wait for Magistrate Liu's reaction and turned to look at the palace maid who had followed her for many years.

The eldest maid's eyes met the queen's, and she was startled. Then she came to her senses and stepped forward and said: "The maid is here."

Magistrate Liu had already put back the smile on his face and looked straight ahead, not looking at the queen's self-indulgence. He said, "Is the queen trying to force a wife on the minister?"

His voice was not loud, but it conveyed an inviolable threat.

Although the Queen and His Majesty asked him for help, they did not want to be angry with him.

After all these years, no one has dared to offend them, and His Majesty's face turned dark.

He squeezed the fingers in his hand and stared at Magistrate Liu. Magistrate Liu looked like I didn't see or didn't see him, but he didn't respond to the threats from the two men's eyes.

The queen's face was instantly wiped out. The maid standing beside her trembled in her heart. Knowing that the queen was angry, she hurriedly stepped back.

When the queen saw that Magistrate Liu did not accept her move, she immediately revealed her sharp claws and said, "Is Magistrate Liu trying to resist the order and be disrespectful?"

Magistrate Liu snorted coldly: "So what?"

Xu Yihuan, who was following behind, heard this and her mind was filled with black threads. She unexpectedly saw that Magistrate Liu had a tougher temper than her. But why did such a tough person dare to destroy the treasure house after she used the Rubber Devil Fruit once? Give her the financial report.

Her thoughts were swirling around her head, and her eyes fell on Magistrate Liu sitting in the chair. He was looking straight ahead, not paying attention to the anger of His Majesty and the Queen.

His Majesty and the Queen looked at him in astonishment and were shocked by Magistrate Liu's sudden reaction.

The chamberlains and maids in the entire palace suddenly fell into a dead silence.
