When he heard that there was news, Liu Ping was inspiration. Antulu was well-informed in Yecheng. Since he mentioned the matter so seriously, he thought that the news was of great importance. He thought that it was a secret of the court or some great secret.

As a result, what Antulu said next was a bit inexplicable: "An has followed his tribe members to do business since he was a child and has been to many places..."

"The customs and dialects are different in different places. Northerners are happy to drink tea, while southerners are good at tea."

Antuluo started to talk, as if he had become an old man, recalling his life when he was about to run out of energy and telling his experiences in a leisurely manner, trying to make others remember his life.

Liu Ping listened quietly. He knew that the other party was not chatting, probably laying the groundwork for the news that was about to be said. However, he was very curious about what kind of news made Antulu look back on his past?

Antulo was a Sogdian, but his ancestors had settled in the Central Plains. Like other Sogdian settlements, the settlement where Antulo was also engaged in business, so he could speak and listen to other languages ​​besides Sogdian.

"An has been to many places over the years and has seen many people. No matter where he is, he always hears nursery rhymes."

"Many nursery rhymes are sung by children. Some sound very interesting, but some sound inexplicable. I wonder what Manager Liu thought?"

Liu Ping nodded: "Some nursery rhymes are made up for entertainment, while others have some meanings. For example, someone in a certain place wants to slander the reputation of his enemies, but he is afraid that the other party will come to him, so he compiles nursery rhymes for the children to sing, destroying people's reputation invisibly."

"Shopkeeper Liu said that such nursery rhymes must be adults, and nursery rhymes contain puns, homophones, characters that disassemble, fast rhythm, catchy and easy to recite, and easy to sing for children."

Hearing this, Liu Ping seemed to have guessed something, but he did not interrupt rashly but continued to listen.

"Some nursery rhymes have the purpose of transcendence of the people. Whenever the situation is turbulent at that time, inexplicable nursery rhymes will appear in the capital, no matter whether it is south or north, just secretly who wants to be the emperor or who wants to be unlucky."

"This kind of nursery rhyme is nothing more than the so-called 'god will' created by some forces based on their own purposes. For example, if a powerful minister wants to usurp the throne, he will compile a nursery rhyme in advance for the children in the city to sing it. After he usurp the throne, he will confirm the will of heaven."

"Or it is necessary to kill someone, let the wind be released first, and after you succeed, the world will think that he is following the will of God."

"Many people say that nursery rhymes represent God's will. In fact, An thought that this was not the case. Those 'fulfilled' nursery rhymes were remembered, but there were more unfulfilled nursery rhymes, but no one would take them to heart."

"But An has been to many places and has been in Chang'an and Yecheng for many years. He has summarized some experience. Most of these nursery rhymes that are falsely dependent on the will of heaven are circulated in the capital or surrounding areas."

"So the nursery rhymes circulating in prefectures and counties outside the capital are much more normal, and it's easy to remember and understand, but..."

Antulu took a sip of tea. The tea was called "Xiyangchun", which was produced in Huangzhou. He didn't like drinking tea, but he often came to Liu Ping as a guest over time.

"An has many relatives and friends, and recently he has heard the same nursery rhyme in different places. This nursery rhyme sounds a bit inexplicable, but after thinking about it carefully, it means something. This nursery rhyme should have been circulating in the capital, but it turned out that someone deliberately spreads it far away from the capital."

Liu Ping asked a question at the right time: "I wonder if Mr. An still remembers this nursery rhyme?"

"Remember, does Manager Liu need paper and note?"

Liu Ping nodded. It was probably a very important thing for the other party to ask him to write it down with paper.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready soon. Antulu saw Liu Ping waiting for the pen and said slowly: "The nursery rhyme is as follows: 'There is a fish pond under the poplar tree. If you ask about fish by the pond, you will leave if you answer, and if you don't answer, you will stay if you don't answer'."

Before Liu Ping asked a question, he solemnly said: "The news that An wants to say is that people have begun to spread this nursery rhyme on a large scale in many places such as Qingyan. The war in Jiangnan has been delayed. Many people have complained. The Prime Minister's Office has secretly sent people to track down the source of the nursery rhyme and to prevent problems before they happen."

......

"There is a fish pond under the poplar tree. If you ask the fish by the pond, you will leave if you answer, and if you don't answer, you will stay if you don't answer. What do you think of this nursery rhyme?"

"Hey, how can the fish talk? Who can talk to the fish by the pond? Is it because your head is not good?"

"Think about it, think about it."

"Ah, there is, this is a trick of kidnapping the child. He said that there are fish by the pond who can talk, and the child was so scammered to go with him to see the fish. When he walked to a secluded place, he blocked his mouth and grabbed it!"

"Oh, what a good idea, it's good!" Wu Ming smiled, and saw that his subordinate touched his head embarrassedly, then he looked stern: "Continue to think about it!"

"Ah, is it still wrong?"

In the room, several of Wu Ming's subordinates were frowning and thinking about the problem, as if they were dissatisfied, their faces were flushed. Seeing that Wu Ming saw that his subordinates were so unconscious, he really wanted to tell the answer directly.

In the afternoon, he met with Liu Ping and Manager Liu. The other party gave him the note and informed the source of the news.

Nursery Rhyme: There is a fish pond under the poplar tree. If you ask a fish by the pond, you will leave when you answer, and if you don’t answer, you will stay when you don’t answer. Literally, there is a fish pond under the poplar tree. Ask a question to the fish by the pond. If the fish answers, leave, and if you don’t answer, stay by the pond (continue to ask).

There were some inexplicable nursery rhymes, but Wu Ming could see what the meaning behind this thing was. He knew that Manager Liu was responsible for collecting information in Yecheng, and the other party also knew what responsibility he was responsible for, so he should not take it lightly when he told this matter.

"Ah, boss, I figured it out."

“Tell me.”

"Panyang means 'yang', fish pond, homophonic to 'Yuchi'. As for the word "Ask for fish by the pond, it is not "Yuwen", but what does it mean if you answer without answering or leaving?"

"Li" and Liu" are connected to Liu, as for the answer, it is probably to fight. How about it, have you figured it out?"

Wu Ming said this. If anyone present can't figure it out, it means that there is a problem with his brain. Another meaning of this nursery rhyme is very clear: first there is "Yang" and then "Yuchi", and then Yuchi and Yuwen (Yuchi asked Yu) whether they fight or not (answer or not), the whole world will change their surnames.

What surname should I change? Either the surname is ‘Liu’ or ‘Li’, so everyone quickly followed the savior to make trouble and live in the world together.

"Oh, it's Li Hong and Liu Ju again. Who is so immoral? He has made up such nursery rhymes and deceived people to work hard all day long?"

"The fisherman will gain benefits when fighting with cranes and clams. The emperor and the prime minister will decide sooner or later. Anyone with discerning eyes knows this situation, but why do some people compile nursery rhymes and spread it everywhere? That's because they have been fighting in the past few years, and the people are so tired that they have complained, so some people have thought about it!"

"It is not spread in the capital because these people want to inspire ordinary people, and they are afraid of attracting the attention of the powerful and powerful. Such painstaking efforts show that the goal is very big."

Wu Ming put away the note and looked around everyone present and said, "Before, someone wanted to make auspiciousness in Huangzhou, saying "Maitreya's life and save the world". As a result, we were given the blame. Now, someone is afraid that someone will make auspiciousness in the north."
