Huang Xiao asked Zhang Yan: "How do you think the empress should handle it?"
Zhang Yan thought thoughtfully.
"Since Liu Mei is willing to confess, it means that her conscience is still intact, and she has always performed well in Dahuang Village, I think she must be given a chance!"
Shi Kefa was overjoyed.
Huang Xiaodao: "Your Majesty has a kind heart. If so, as your Majesty said, the death penalty can be avoided!"
He pondered for a moment and said: "Let her join the farm, let her understand the sufferings of the people, and reflect on herself while farming! Let's see the effects!"
Zhang Yan nodded.
Shi Kefa knew clearly that this sentence was definitely for his own sake, otherwise he would not have been given such a light sentence!
He was so grateful that he shed tears!
The empress and Mr. Huang actually treated me like this!
He knelt down.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam!"
Zhang Yan said: "Get up, I hope Liu Mei can understand my good intentions and live up to your sincerity."
Shi Kefa bowed respectfully again.
He and He Biao retreated.
Huang Xiao sighed and said: "Empress, Zhen'er, Yueniang, tell me, am I still too soft-hearted?"
Yueniang said: "Young master has a good heart!"
Zhang Lizhen said: "You are an indomitable hero. Liu Mei is a little girl. No matter what happens, I will never put her in your eyes. You have done well!"
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "You are a compassionate person to begin with, and Liu Mei is not a born bad woman, so be it."
Huang Xiao smiled.
Shi Kefa left and came back.
"Sir, someone has already signed up for the army reporters going to Liaodong, but I don't know if I want to send them there."
Huang Xiao asked in surprise: "Is there a problem?"
Shi Kefa shook his head, "He is capable of both literary and martial arts, but I don't know if he is qualified for this job. He is an old acquaintance of sir, so I would like to hear your opinion."
Huang Xiao was stunned: "My old acquaintance? Who?"
Shi Kefa said: "Cui Pinhua, the son of Cui Chengxiu."
"Cui Pinhua!" Huang Xiao was startled, "You're right! He's here to be a reporter? This is impossible!"
Sisters Zhang Yan and Yueniang were as surprised as Huang Xiao.
Zhang Lizhen said: "He is a young man, how can he do this?"
Shi Kefa said: "That's why I'm not sure. He came with me and is outside. Sir, do you want to meet him?"
Huang Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, he and I are old friends. We haven't interacted with each other since that assassination. We have to meet. Let me talk to him. Xianzhi, you go down and do your work first. Call him."
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "When you guys meet, let's stay away for now and come back later."
Zhang Lizhen laughed and followed Zhang Yan to the inner room with Yueniang.
A person walked in outside the door, it was Cui Pinhua who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
Huang Xiao stepped forward quickly, supported him, and said with a smile: "Brothers, you and I, don't be too polite. Brother Cui, it's been a long time since we last met. Please sit down and talk."
Huang Xiao looked at Cui Pinhua and was very surprised. He used to have a flamboyant appearance, but now he was wearing short clothes from Dahuangzhuang, and his skin color had become much darker. After not seeing him for a month, he seemed to be a different person!
Cui Pinhua was so moved that he said: "After Brother Huang becomes rich, he can still be worthy of my brother, little brother..."
Huang Xiao smiled and asked Cui Pinhua to sit down, and said: "It would be boring if all friends met based on their status. Brother Cui, I just heard Shi Kefa say that you joined the Daming Daily? This really surprised me!"
Cui Pinhua smiled and said: "Brother Huang was surprised, my father was even more surprised!"
Huang Xiao laughed loudly, "Why did you want to be a reporter?"
Cui Pinhua looked at Huang Xiao with a resentful look on his face and sighed: "I'm doing this all because of Brother Huang! I miss Brother Huang very much!"
Huang Xiao had goosebumps all over his body. He subconsciously stepped back and said, "Stop it! Brother Cui, we have different beliefs and do not want to work together!"
Cui Pinhua was stunned for a moment, then sighed.
"Alas! It's true! Brother Huang's current level can no longer keep up with my younger brother. My younger brother has always been a playboy and is disgusting to others. No wonder Brother Huang looks down on me!
That day Brother Huang was assassinated, and his younger brother was also sentenced to prison. After he came out, things had changed. It would be extremely difficult to see Brother Huang again! Xu Yunjie is dead, and the other young masters are either involved in the crime or are staying behind closed doors. "
"My dear brother, I can't eat when I stop my cup and throw chopsticks. I draw my sword and look around with my heart at a loss! My brother is doing nothing all day long and wasting his time. If this continues, I am afraid that I will really become a useless person! I will no longer be able to call brother Huang a brother!"
When he said this, he sighed: "I learned about what Brother Huang did from the Ming Dynasty Daily, and I deeply admired him. At the same time, I felt proud to be able to call Brother Huang a brother! I thought, I can't be good at literature or martial arts. If I don't Try to keep up with Brother Huang, even though Brother Huang still treats me as a friend, I still have no face to see Brother Huang!"
"When I learned that journalists were being recruited, I signed up! I made up my mind to achieve results and become Brother Huang's friend again. I trained hard in the Dahuang Zhuang Army...
Who knew that Brother Huang still disliked his younger brother so much! However, I, Cui Pinhua, will never admit defeat. Brother Huang, just wait. I will do my job as a reporter well and impress Brother Huang! "
Huang Xiao was dumbfounded and realized that he had misunderstood Cui Pinhua.
In order to keep up with me, to enter my circle again, and to become my friend again, he worked hard. He said it was for me, and it was not a language problem.
Huang Xiao cheered loudly!
"Okay! Well said! I'm really happy for Brother Cui when I see that Brother Cui has such an ambition! I just misunderstood Brother Cui, and here, I apologize to Brother Cui!"
Cui Pinhua was overjoyed and said: "There is no need to apologize. What misunderstanding does Brother Huang have?"
Huang Xiao said angrily: "Damn you, you just missed me and it was for me or something. Can I not misunderstand you? Is this the way men talk to each other?"
Cui Pinhua was stunned and then laughed.
"My little brother absolutely loves beautiful women..."
Huang Xiao also laughed out loud.
Huang Xiao asked: "You want to go to the front line? It's dangerous there!"
Cui Pinhua said seriously: "The more dangerous the place, the more achievements can be made. I am here to continue to train myself. If I can't bear this little pain, what is the point of working hard for me?"
Huang Xiao nodded, "That's right! Opportunities and risks coexist, so I won't say anything else. You go out and wait for me for a while, and I'll give you something."
Cui Pinhua declined, but Huang Xiao insisted.
Cui Pinhua went out as promised. Huang Xiao saw that Zhang Yan and others were still in the inner room and did not come out, so he quickly passed through and took out the things.
"Brother Cui, please come in."
Cui Pinhua walked in again.
Huang Xiao pointed to the things on the table and said: "These are some things that are convenient for writing, such as shorthand notebooks and pens."
Cui Pinhua thanked him and accepted it.
Huang Xiao took out a gun from his waist and handed it over.
"This is a specially made firecracker. You should wear it for self-defense."
Cui Pinhua was greatly moved, took it, and solemnly said: "Thank you, Brother Huang!"
