    In the capital city, in the backyard of Su Yuanyuan's mansion, Su Yuanyuan's grandfather was watering the flowers he planted in the backyard. Suddenly, he heard bursts of discussion coming from outside the tall courtyard wall.

    "Xiao Lu, what's going on outside?" The old man put down the kettle in his hand and asked the maid standing by.

    "I don't know, sir. Please wait a moment. I'll go to the front yard and ask."

    "Well, let's go."

    After a while, the maid Xiao Lu came back with a surprised look on her face. When she saw the old man, she said: "Returning to the master, I have just asked. The housekeeper said that someone killed a black bear with bare hands outside the city. Now that  The black bear whose head was beaten to death was carried into the city."

    "Black bear? With bare hands?" the old man said in disbelief.

    Seeing the old man’s disbelief, the maid Xiao Lu quickly said: “Sir, this is what the housekeeper said, and I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”

    "Forget it, I don't mean to blame you. Just step aside and I'll go and see this for myself." After the old man gave the kettle in his hand to the maid, he walked towards the front yard.  The maid Xiaolu took the kettle and thought about it for a while. After all, she couldn't contain her curiosity, put down the kettle and hurriedly followed.

    The old man didn't pay attention to the maid who followed him. He walked to the gate and asked the steward standing at the door: "Steward, what are you doing?"

    "Master, Miss just sent someone back with a message to let us prepare. The black bear that was killed will be responsible for cooking for our family later." The housekeeper who was directing everyone to prepare quickly replied after hearing this.

    "You won't tell me that it was that girl Yuanyuan who killed the black bear, right?" The old man looked at the housekeeper with a strange expression and asked.  The butler listened.  His eyes widened even more, and he was surprised by the master's sudden and strange idea.  Perhaps the butler's expression was too vivid.  The old man glared at the housekeeper awkwardly.  The butler was so stared at that he shrank his neck and quickly made an excuse and ran away.

    Not long after, the old man saw a black bear being carried by a group of people towards his home, but he did not see his granddaughter.

    "Master, the lady is behind you." Xiaolu, the maid standing nearby, reminded the old man.  After hearing this, the old man looked towards the back of the team and saw his granddaughters Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er walking slowly together. They were surrounded by many people who were showing their courtesy to them, judging from their appearance.  But he didn't seem very happy.

    When Su Yuanyuan walked into the house, she saw her grandfather standing inside the door. She quickly saluted and said hello: "Grandpa."

    "Yes." The old man nodded and said to Cui Ying'er, who also saluted him: "Ying'er, please get up too, this is your home too, no need to be polite."

    "Yes, grandpa." Cui Ying'er agreed.  He turned to the butler and ordered: "Butler, please send someone to take care of that black bear."

    "Yes, Miss. Well, Miss, I don't know the person who beat the bear" the housekeeper asked tentatively.

    Unexpectedly, Cui Ying'er's face darkened after listening to the housekeeper's inquiry.  Su Yuanyuan on the side snorted softly and said to the housekeeper: "Butler, you shouldn't ask, don't ask!"

    "Yes, yes. The old servant is going to do something." The housekeeper quickly agreed and directed everyone to carry the black bear into the house.  The old man looked at the black bear being carried into the house.  He said to Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er: "You two come with me." After saying that, Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er walked into the backyard first without waiting for their rejection.  Su Yuanyuan and Cui Yinger looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and followed the old man to the backyard.

    They followed the old man to the study room. After the three of them sat down, the old man said to the two of them, "Tell me, what on earth is going on?"

    After Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er looked at each other, Su Yuanyuan began to tell her grandfather about the experience of this day.  From the time when the two of them met Han Yu by chance when they were out in the city, to when Han Yu sneaked out before entering the city, he told them everything.

    After hearing this, the old man frowned and looked at Su Yuanyuan and asked, "You mean, that boy named Han Yu killed that black bear with his bare hands?"

    Cui Ying'er heard the words and replied: "Yes, Grandpa, I know you don't believe it. In fact, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't believe it. But that's the fact. Apart from Yuanyuan and I, there are other people  See this."

    "It's not that I don't believe what you said, it's just that what you said is really unbelievable." The old man waved his hand and said.  After finishing speaking, the old man said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that boy to be a really capable person. You can bring him to meet me if you find an opportunity. If possible, I can arrange his future."

    Cui Ying'er smiled bitterly and said to the old man: "Grandpa, I think you'd better not waste your efforts. That Han Yu is not interested in being an official at all. I'm afraid he doesn't even like to do things that are in the limelight. Otherwise  NorWhen I was about to enter the city, I took my two children and ran away.  "

    "Da Ya Er Ya? He is already married and has children?" the old man asked with a frown.

    Su Yuanyuan on the side heard this and quickly explained: "That's not true. Da Ya and Er Ya are the children of his friend. It's just that his friend just found a job recently and was too busy to play with the two children. Then he took the  The two kids went out of town to play."

    After listening to granddaughter Su Yuanyuan’s explanation, the old man looked at Su Yuanyuan with a strange expression and said nothing.  On the contrary, Su Yuanyuan herself lowered her head as if she had a guilty conscience and did not dare to look at the old man.  The old man sighed slightly in his heart and said: "No matter what that boy is thinking, it is my responsibility to serve the Kingdom, and this is non-negotiable. If you are not sure, bring him to see you  Me, then let me go and see him."

    "Yes." Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er looked at each other and said to the old man in unison.

    While the grandfather and grandson were talking about this, the housekeeper knocked on the door and reported respectfully: "Master, Mr. Huang is here to visit."

    "Huh? What is he doing here?" The old man asked in confusion.  The old man himself belongs to the camp of military commanders, while the visiting Master Huang belongs to the camp of civilian officials. There seems to be no friendship between the two.  But since people come to visit you, you can't just drive them away without letting them in.  The old man told the housekeeper: "Please go to the living room to serve tea."

    "Yes." The butler agreed, turned and left.  At this time, Cui Ying'er said to the old man: "Grandpa, when Yuanyuan and I were playing outside the city today, we met a scholar named Huang Guan. Could it be related to the visiting Master Huang?"

    "You had a conflict with that Huang Guan?" the old man asked after hearing this.

    Cui Ying'er shook her head and replied: "No. That Huang Guan had no conflict with us, but he had a little conflict with that Han Yu. And in order to deal with Han Yu, that Huang Guan hired officials. Unfortunately, he was suppressed by Han Yu.  Don’t dare to make mistakes.”

    "Tell me the details of what happened." The old man frowned and said.

    "Yes." Cui Ying'er agreed and told the exact story of the conflict between Han Yu and the group headed by Huang Guan.  The old man nodded after hearing this and said to Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er: "You are tired too, go and have a rest. I'm going to meet Mr. Huang and see what he wants to do here."

    ……

    The old man came to the living room.  Mr. Huang, who was in his early forties, was seen sitting upright at this moment, with a look of anxiety that could not be concealed on his face.  Seeing the old man walking into the living room, Mr. Huang quickly left his seat and saluted: "Huang Bo has met King Wu'an."

    "Sit down." The old man returned the gesture and motioned for Huang Bo to sit down and talk.  But in front of the old man, how could a junior like Huang Bo dare to sit down? He sat down with half his butt next to the seat and looked at the old man nervously.

    The old man ignored him.  After sitting down at the main seat, he asked Huang Bodao: "What is your purpose for Mr. Huang here?"

    Huang Bo sighed when he heard this and said: "Oh, my family is unfortunate. The incompetent son of Xiaguan actually took advantage of his status to bully others. When I learned about it, I was very angry, so I wanted to confront the incompetent son.  The person who made things difficult apologized. It’s just that the official had no information and didn’t know the whereabouts of that person. So I had to come to King Wu’an’s granddaughter to find out from him the whereabouts of that person.”

    People become treacherous as they grow old, horses become slippery as they grow old, and rabbits become too old for eagles to catch.  Although the old man was old, how could he be deceived by Huang Bo's words.  This Huang Bo.  The news that he came to inquire about Han Yu was false, but the news that he came to ask him to let him go was true.  Although he no longer serves in the government.  But if you want to see the emperor, it is only a few steps away.  As long as he listened to the words of his two granddaughters and knew that Huang Bo's son Huang Guangong was using public weapons for personal use, and told the emperor, then Huang Bo's future would be over.  The current emperor is a man of great talent and broad-mindedness, and he has no regard for others. What he hates the most is those who use public power for private purposes.

    After Huang Bo finished speaking, he peeked at the old man's reaction.  The old man looked as usual, and it was impossible to tell whether his words had deceived this old guy.

    After a long while, the old man said slowly: "No one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong. Mr. Huang hopes to discipline that boy of yours more in the future. This is the capital, and people talk a lot. Maybe one day someone will go to talk to the emperor."  Let me mention something new happening in the capital. Mr. Huang has been living in poverty for ten years, so don’t ruin your future because of this incident. As for making an apology, there is no need. After all, you are an official of the imperial court. Go and talk to a person in person.  The kid has just apologized and lost the face of the court. I will handle this matter, what do you think?"

    "It would be best if King Wu'an is willing to come forward. It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore, so I'll take my leave." As soon as Huang Bo heard this, he knew that the old guy King Wu'an had understood what he meant, so he  Without waiting any longer, he stood up and said goodbye.?

    "Yes. Butler, send Mr. Huang off for me." The old man nodded and told the butler who was guarding the door.

    "Yes, Mr. Huang, please." The butler agreed.

    After Huang Bo left, the old man said in a deep voice, "Come out." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er bowed their heads and walked out from behind the screen in the living room.  The old man did not blame the two girls for eavesdropping just now, but asked: "Do you understand the purpose of Huang Bo coming here?"

    Cui Ying'er heard the words and replied: "My granddaughter understands. That Huang Bo named apologized, but he actually came to beg grandpa to let him go."

    "Yes." The old man nodded with satisfaction and looked at Su Yuanyuan who was confused.  He shook his head and said to Cui Ying'er: "It's a pity that you are a girl, Ying'er."

    "Grandpa, Ying'er doesn't like the intrigues in the court. Ying'er likes her current life very much." Cui Ying'er replied quickly after hearing this.

    Hearing this, the old man waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. If you don't go to rest, what are you doing here? Just to eavesdrop?"

    Seeing the old man taking the initiative to change the subject, Cui Ying'er smiled slightly and replied: "Grandpa, Yuanyuan and I thought about it and thought that if grandpa wants to meet that Han Yu, it's best to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the next few days, it may be possible  Can’t find that guy.”

    "Oh? Why is this?" the old man asked puzzledly.

    Su Yuanyuan heard this and replied: "Grandpa, you don't know, that Han Yu seems to be afraid of being in the limelight. When the Love Restaurant was successful, that guy hid for several days, and we couldn't find him even if we wanted to look for him. This time  The whole city is aware of the black bear incident, and I don’t know if he will hide again.”

    "HahaThis kid is really a bit weird. If that's the case, do you mean to go see him now?"

    "Yes, now we at least know where he lives? If we go late, we don't know where he will go?" Su Yuanyuan nodded.

    "In that case, let's go." The old man heard the words and said with a smile.

    **********************************

    “Thanks to Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying’er for their suggestion.  When they led the old man to the door, they happened to meet Han Yu who was going out.  What a coincidence. If he had come a little later, Han Yu might have been missing for a few days like last time.

    Han Yu, who was blocked, was of course not good at patting his butt at this time. He welcomed the three visiting Su Yuanyuan into the small courtyard and asked them about their purpose of coming.  Su Yuanyuan was already prepared for Han Yu's question.  He replied: "Of course I am looking for you because I have something to tell you. The black bear's fur has been peeled off and is being tanned by someone. It can be handed over to you after it is made."

    "Oh, that's it. I'd like to trouble you again. After the bearskin is tanned, I'll find someone to make two bearskin jackets. I plan to give them to the two children, Da Ya and Er Ya."

    Su Yuanyuan nodded and replied, "Sure, no problem. That bearskin is big. It's enough for two children."

    Seeing that Su Yuanyuan agreed to his request, Han Yu smiled slightly, turned to look at the old man and asked: "The reason why they came to me is reasonable, but what about you, the old man? Do you want to meet me, the hero who fights bears?"  "

    "Hero? Are you worthy of being called a hero just because of your bravery?" the old man said pretending to be disdainful.

    Han Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, stared at the old man and asked, "What? You don't think I'm a hero?"

    The old man ignored Han Yu's ugly expression at this time.  He snorted and replied: "Huh, if you can be considered a hero by hitting a bear, then this hero is too worthless."

    Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er on the side showed a trace of anxiety on their faces. They didn't understand why their grandfather suddenly had a dispute with Han Yu, but before the two girls could figure out how to smooth things over.  Han Yu, who was originally serious, suddenly changed his expression, and said to the old man with a look of approval: "You are absolutely right. What kind of hero am I? I'm just a common man with some brute strength. This  The title of hero is just a casual shouting by the mediocre people in the city who have never seen the world and know how to follow the nonsense, and it cannot be taken seriously."

    "" The old man was dumbfounded. He couldn't say what he had planned.  According to the old man's idea, he deliberately despised Han Yu, thus arousing Han Yu's competitive spirit.  In the end, I didn't expect that the kid in front of me would be so shameless, admitting that he was not a hero, and even pretending to agree.

    "Huh? Old man, you don't look too good. Older people should take care of themselves." Han Yu looked at the old man with concern and said.

    The old man looked at Han Yu with tangled eyes. From Han Yu's cunning eyes, the old man saw the truth.  This bastard boy definitely did it on purpose.  He must have guessed the purpose of his visit, so he just deliberately said those words to himself, and then suddenly the conversation changed?Don't let your thoughts come out.

    With a sigh in his heart, the old man decided to give up his original idea and explain his intention to Han Yu straight to the point.

    "Young man, I'm much older than you. It's not an exaggeration to call you my nephew. Let me ask you, have you thought about your future?" the old man asked Han Yu.

    Han Yu smiled when he heard this and said, "Of course I have thought about it."

    "Then what is your ambition?" the old man asked quickly.  Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er on the side also pricked up their ears.  Han Yu said with a smile: "My dream is to travel with my companions everywhere we can see, and when we feel tired, we can find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in seclusion and live out the rest of our lives  …”

    "What about the empire?" the old man asked with a frown.

    "Old man, what does my dream have to do with the empire?" Han Yu asked in confusion.

    The old man who had always regarded the Empire as his own child now had an angry look on his face, stared at Han Yu and said in a deep voice: "The Empire raised you"

    "Stop it, it's my parents who raised me, and they have nothing to do with the empire. On the contrary, in order to raise me, my parents have to pay taxes to the empire on my behalf." Han Yu planned what the old man said.

    The old man was furious when he heard this, pointed at Han Yu and shouted: "Shut up! Without the empire, can you have a safe and peaceful living environment?"

    "Giving security and peace to the people is the obligation of the empire that collects taxes from the people. This is what it should do. If an empire cannot give the people the life they want, then there is no need for the empire to exist." Han Yuhao  Without showing any weakness, he replied in a competitive manner.

    "How dare you say such bold words!" The old man was furious when he heard this.  For people like the old man, all the empire's actions are reasonable, but anyone who questions the empire is treason!

    Seeing his grandfather getting really angry as he spoke, Su Yuanyuan and Cui Ying'er on the side wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know how.  And Han Yu didn't give in because of the old man's anger. He also stood up and stared at the old man and asked: "You said the empire is good, but tell me, what has been good about the empire in recent years? In addition to being militaristic, it has given the people even a little benefit.  ?"
