Farmer's daughter Xue Linglong has space

Princess Linglong and Regent Xu Tingshan took the children for a stroll on the bustling streets. The children looked around excitedly. Dabao asked curiously, "Why did you take us out today and have dinner at the most famous tavern?" Xu Tingshan smiled and replied, "It's rare to have time, so I wanted to take you out for a walk and see if there's anything interesting."

The family of seven walked and looked around, buying anything they saw that was interesting. Before they knew it, everyone was a little tired. Princess Linglong suggested, "We are tired from walking, let's go to the tavern to eat." So they came to the Ruilai Inn.

The waiter came up to him warmly and asked, "How many guests are there? Are you staying here or having a meal?" Xu Tingshan replied, "For food, bring us your signature dishes." The waiter was overjoyed when he heard this, because this was a big customer!

At this time, a plain-looking man in ragged clothes came outside. The waiter saw him, frowned, and said impatiently: "Smelly beggar, you are everywhere! Don't disturb our business." The beggar retorted: "Who are you looking down on? You look down on people! Don't you have a rule in your store that doesn't allow people like us to eat?" The waiter replied: "No, but the way you are dressed, I am afraid that the smell will spread to other customers. What if everyone doesn't want to eat?" The beggar said unyieldingly: "Are you looking for trouble?"

Seeing this, Xu Tingshan persuaded him, "Brother, please don't be angry. Shopkeeper, please find him a seat in a corner and give him some food." The beggar looked at Xu Tingshan gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir."

Soon, the food and wine were served, and the family began to enjoy the food. However, what they did not notice was that the beggar had been secretly observing them. After three rounds of drinking, Xu Tingshan felt a little dizzy, so he got up and went to the toilet. When he came back, he found that the children and Princess Linglong were gone!

He looked around anxiously but couldn't find them. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the beggar was also missing. Xu Tingshan's heart sank, realizing that something might be wrong.

He rushed out of the tavern and asked around on the street. Finally, he found the beggar in an alley. Xu Tingshan shouted angrily: "Where did you take my family?" The beggar sneered: "Your family is in a safe place now. As long as you can answer one question of mine, I will tell you where they are."

Xu Tingshan suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the question?" The beggar said slowly, "Do you know what the real name of the current emperor is?" Xu Tingshan was shocked. This question was really tricky. He thought for a moment and replied, "The real name of the current emperor is Li Tianyi."

A trace of surprise flashed in the beggar's eyes, as if he didn't expect Xu Tingshan to be able to answer it. He nodded and said, "Yes, you are quite knowledgeable. Your family is in the alley over there." Xu Tingshan hurried over and found the tied-up children and Princess Linglong.

It turns out that the beggar is a member of a mysterious organization that has been looking for someone who knows the emperor's real name. Xu Tingshan knows the emperor's real name because he has been involved in some confidential affairs. The organization believes that he knows too many secrets and cannot let him live.

After all these twists and turns, Xu Tingshan realized that the world is unpredictable and danger may be hidden in any seemingly ordinary person or thing. From then on, he became more cautious and protected the safety of his family and country. And the mysterious organization never had a chance to attack again under his vigilance.

The regent of the capital, Xu Tingshan, and his family were in a tavern, and when they were about to drink, a beggar rushed over. "Just wait for me. If I don't deal with you, I will not be able to survive." The beggar pointed at Xu Tingshan and cursed, threatening to find someone to deal with him. Xu Tingshan responded coldly: "I'm not afraid of you. I'll wait for you here." Seeing this, the tavern owner hurriedly advised: "Sir, you'd better leave! I heard that this person is not easy to mess with. If you offend him, you will suffer." However, Xu Tingshan was unmoved. He said confidently: "In the capital, I am the regent, and I have never been afraid of anyone." The waiter brought their table of food over. Come and eat.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he knelt down in fear and kowtowed repeatedly, "We didn't know it was the prince who came. We were so blind!" Xu Tingshan waved his hand and told the shopkeeper to get up. It's okay, let's eat first.

He decided to wait for the beggar to bring people over.

At this time, Princess Linglong was sitting at the dinner table. She blamed Xu Tingshan and said, "Aren't you too much trouble?" Xu Tingshan retorted, "I didn't look for trouble, he was the first to provoke me. As the saying goes, I don't offend others, and others don't offend me." Princess Linglong shook her head helplessly, but she also understood Xu Tingshan's character.

Not long after, the beggar really came to the tavern with a group of people. When they saw Xu Tingshan, their original arrogance disappeared instantly. Xu Tingshan looked at them indifferently, with majesty in his eyes. The beggars were so scared that their legs went weak and they knelt down to beg for mercy. Because one of them knows the regent, you want us to deal with him? The beggar Li Da said yes, what's wrong, and the other said you don't know who he is, Li Da, how can I know who he is, it looks too arrogant.

Xu Tingshan did not forgive them easily, but gave them a severe lesson to let them know to respect the powerful. Finally, the beggars left the tavern in embarrassment.

After this incident, everyone in the capital knew the reputation of Regent Xu Tingshan, and no one dared to provoke him easily. Princess Linglong also agreed with Xu Tingshan's way of handling the matter. She knew that in this complicated capital, sometimes a tough attitude was necessary.

In a corner of the capital, there is a tavern called "Laojiufang". This is where people like to gather in their spare time, and the Regent Xu Tingshan often visits here.

On this day, Xu Tingshan was sitting in a corner as usual, tasting fine wine and listening to the gossip of people around him. Suddenly, the tavern owner hurried up to him with a look of worry on his face.

"Your Majesty, there have been some unscrupulous people causing trouble in the tavern lately, making it impossible for us to do business." The shopkeeper complained.

Xu Tingshan frowned slightly. He hated this kind of bullying of the people the most. He patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "If anyone dares to cause trouble in the future, tell him to come to the palace to find me. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly felt confident and thanked him repeatedly.

At this moment, someone from another table in the tavern suddenly interrupted and said, "Is there such a thing? Does that mean we can ask the Lord Regent for help with anything we encounter?"

Xu Tingshan looked over and saw that the person who was speaking was a young scholar with a hint of curiosity on his face.

Xu Tingshan smiled and said, "Of course, I will do my best to help if it is something that benefits the people. But if it is something that is against the law, I can't help."

The scholar nodded, seeming to understand. However, he then asked, "Then what does the Regent think is beneficial to the people?"

Xu Tingshan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There are many things that benefit the people. For example, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and avoid the suffering of war; for example, improve people's livelihood and let the people live a prosperous life."

After hearing this, the scholar's eyes flashed with admiration. He raised his glass, toasted Xu Tingshan, and said, "The Regent really cares about the people. I admire him."

Xu Tingshan laughed and drank a glass with the scholar. Others in the pub also echoed and expressed their appreciation for Xu Tingshan.

From then on, no one came to the "Old Wine Shop" tavern to cause trouble. The reputation of the Regent Prince Xu Tingshan also became better and better. The people all knew that as long as he was there, the capital would be peaceful.

Regent Xu Tingshan and Princess Linglong enjoyed a delicious meal with their five children in a restaurant. When they were about to pay the bill and leave, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Regent, please don't pay. This meal is my treat. Thanks to you, I can spend this day peacefully."

Princess Linglong shook her head and said, "How can this be possible? It's not easy for you to do business. If you don't charge us, we won't come next time." The shopkeeper couldn't persuade the prince and princess, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll charge you 100 taels of silver for this meal."

100 taels of silver is not a small amount for ordinary people, but the regent is certainly not short of money. Just as they were about to leave, a group of masked thugs suddenly rushed in, shouting that they wanted to rob.

"Take out all your money! Otherwise no one can leave! Hand over all your valuables!" one of the thugs shouted.

Regent Xu Tingshan's eyes turned cold. These people dared to rob in broad daylight. They must be tired of living. He stood up and faced the gangsters. He said fearlessly: "You guys are so reckless. You dare to rob me. You are so bold!"

The thugs were obviously not intimidated by the Regent's majesty. Relying on their large numbers, they continued to advance.

Princess Linglong hugged the children tightly. Although she was a little nervous, she looked at the Regent with a firm gaze, signaling him not to be impulsive.

At this moment, the Regent suddenly took action. His movements were swift and vigorous, and he knocked several thugs to the ground in a few strokes. Seeing this, the other thugs were frightened and fled in all directions.

"As long as I'm here, you won't succeed!" the Regent said loudly.

The shopkeeper and other guests in the restaurant were stunned. They did not expect that the Regent was so skilled.

Princess Linglong also showed a gratified smile, she was proud of the Regent's heroic performance.

The Regent looked at the gangsters going away and thought to himself, these people are so arrogant, he must track them down to see who is behind them.

Then, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "You should keep this 100 taels of silver as a gift to calm you down. If something like this happens again, report it to the police."

After that, the regent left the restaurant with his family. Their figures gradually went away, but his majesty and justice remained in people's hearts.

Xu Tingshan sat in the hall, looking sharply at the housekeeper and guard in front of him. He had just returned to the palace with his family when he learned that there were gangsters in the tavern. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. What on earth were these gangsters doing here?

"Go and check it out thoroughly. Don't miss any clues." Xu Tingshan ordered seriously.

The guard clasped his fists and replied, "As you command, I'll check right away."

The housekeeper continued, "There was another person who came to the mansion today, claiming to be the young master's son."

Xu Tingshan frowned slightly. He had no impression of this young prince. At this time, Dabao interrupted and asked, "What's his last name?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "I asked him but he didn't reply. When he knew you were not in the palace, he left and said he would come next time."

Xu Tingshan felt more and more puzzled. Who was this little prince? Why did he come to see him? He decided that he would meet him in person the next time this person came.

A few days later, the young prince came to the palace again. Xu Tingshan sat in the hall, waiting quietly.

After a while, a young man walked in. He was tall and handsome, but there was a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Xu Tingshan looked him up and down and asked, "Are you the young eldest son?"

The man nodded: "That's right."

"What's your last name? What do you want to talk to me about?" Xu Tingshan asked.

The man smiled and said, "My last name is Lin. I came here to make a deal with you."

Xu Tingshan was startled: "Transaction? What transaction?"

Prince Lin lowered his voice and said, "I know a secret about the royal family. If you are willing to listen, I will tell you."

Xu Tingshan's eyes became sharper: "The secret of the royal family? How did you know?"

The eldest son of Lin smiled and said, "You don't need to ask me about this. As long as you agree to cooperate with me, I will tell you."

Xu Tingshan was silent for a moment, thinking to himself. Who was this Lin Dashizi? Was the secret he told true or false? But he knew that in this palace full of power struggles, any secret could cause a storm.

Finally, Xu Tingshan decided to take a risk: "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. But you must tell me the truth about this secret."

The eldest son Lin showed a satisfied smile: "Great! In fact, this secret is related to the succession to the throne."

Xu Tingshan was shocked. The succession to the throne has always been the most sensitive topic in the palace. Any slight disturbance could trigger endless fighting.

The eldest son Lin continued, "I have evidence to prove that the current crown prince is not the real eldest son, but a substitute who was replaced by a cat. The real eldest son is actually someone else."

Xu Tingshan's eyes widened: "Are you telling the truth?"

The eldest son Lin took out a yellowed document from his bosom and said, "This is the evidence I got by chance. You will know it at a glance."

Xu Tingshan took the document and looked at it carefully. The handwriting and seal on the document did look like something from the royal family. His heart began to surge. If this secret was true, then it would be an earth-shaking change.

But he also knew that in this palace, the truth was often hidden under a thick fog. He needed time to verify the authenticity of this secret.

Xu Tingshan raised his head and looked at the eldest son Lin: "I will investigate this secret, but I will not act rashly until I have solid evidence."

The eldest son of the Lin family nodded: "I believe in your prudence. But time is short, and we must act quickly."

Xu Tingshan fell into deep thought. He knew that he had been involved in a storm in the palace. This storm would change the fate of him and the entire country...
