"Song Che, why didn't you tell me that he was the emperor from the beginning? I...I even winked at him. How audacious of me!"
Guo Shuyun was still frightened and extremely upset.
Song Che smiled and said: "Yes, you actually dare to wink at him, even I don't dare."
"But who knew the emperor was like that? Shouldn't the emperor wear a dragon robe and be accompanied by guards at all times? Why is he so worldly?" Guo Shuyun hugged Song Che's arm and said worriedly: "He...he won't decide me afterwards. Is this the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"Well, the emperor is also a human being. He eats whole grains and has a nose and eyes. Why can't he be worldly?" Song Che patted her hand, "The emperor is magnanimous. Those who don't know are not guilty and will not get in the way."
Guo Shuyun muttered: "You said that you, a businessman, are brothers to prime ministers, generals, and emperors... strange things come and go, all because you are too capable."
In today's world, is it wrong to have the ability?
"Master Jun, please let me go in and take a look! It will only take a while."
"Go, go, go... do you think this is a vegetable market? This is a place of execution. In half an hour, they will be dead!"
"That's why I want to see him one last time. He is my...my relative. Can you please?"
"Family!"
A frail woman, carrying a food box, was negotiating with the officers and soldiers outside the execution ground. When she said the word "relatives", almost everyone's eyes focused on her.
This woman Song Che is very familiar, she is Lu Gu.
"Catch her!"
The officers and soldiers were rude and wanted to arrest people immediately.
"stop!"
Song Che hurried forward to protect Lu Gu behind him, and yelled at the officers and soldiers: "How can you arrest people indiscriminately?"
When the officers and soldiers saw it was Song Che, they quickly lowered their attitude and said, "Mr. Song, she said she is -"
"She spoke quickly and made a mistake."
Song Che asked the officers and soldiers to withdraw, turned around and asked Lu Gu in a low voice, "When did you arrive in Jinling? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Gu had thick dark circles under her eyes, making her already sickly and even more fragile. "I learned the day before yesterday that he was going to be executed today, so I hurried over here..."
Song Che glanced at Liu Chao, who was kneeling on the execution ground. He had forgotten that this guy was Lu Gu's fiancé. He had been his childhood sweetheart since childhood, and they still had some feelings for him.
"Shopkeeper Lu, you should know that these people on the scene are all criminals of the Jiujiu Clan," Song Che looked at her and said seriously: "What is the Jiujiu Clan? Mother's family, father's family, son's family, as long as there is a little Even if you are related to someone, your head will fall to the ground."
Lu Gu was obviously frightened. She bit her lip and looked at Liu Chao reluctantly, "I really just want to see him one last time and give him food for his stutter. If he dies today, the Liu family will have no heirs... …”
well……
Song Che sighed inwardly, why didn't he know how to cherish such a good woman?
He winked at the officers and soldiers guarding the execution ground. The officers and soldiers immediately understood and moved out of the way.
"Brother Chao!" Lu Gu ran to the execution ground and shouted.
When Liu Chao saw his old friend, he lowered his head in shame and did not recognize him face to face.
Lu Gu put down the food box, took out a bowl of ordinary glutinous rice dumplings, and said with tears: "This is your favorite dumpling, the one with sesame filling..."
The moment he saw the glutinous rice balls, Liu Chao couldn't help but burst into tears. If he could not forget his original intention, how could he end up where he is today?
But time cannot be turned back, and there is no regret medicine in the world. He can only shout to the sky: "Lu Gu, mother, I am sorry for you!"
He devoured the glutinous rice balls, and his eyes became clearer. Maybe people will wake up before they die.
"It's three quarters past noon...execution!"
The executioner polished his sword.
Song Che also dragged Lu Gu's crying into tears off to the execution ground.
With a burst of hands and swords, more than 180 members of the Ma family were killed!
You can still live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own.
Should,
Deserve it!
…
…
Everything is going well for the country, and Song Che has completed his final mission. He promised them, and also told Liao Heng that from now on he would only be a businessman and never ask about national affairs again.
When Shen Wenjun left Chengdu in the past, he said that the next Jinxiu Conference would be held in Jiangnan. Now invitations have been sent to all parts of the country and it will be held grandly in June this year.
On the fourth day of February, the spring was bright and sunny. Song Che said goodbye to Jinling, along with Jiang Yuntian and Liu Xinnan.
Guo Shuyun returned to Beiliang. She said that the children in the village missed Song Che very much. She also hoped that the children could learn more knowledge. The purpose of returning to Beiliang this time was to take the children to Jiangnan Academy to study.
Song Che also happened to plan to spread money banks all over the world to the northwest. Guo Shuyun was from Beiliang. From now on, the business in the northwest and western regions would be left to her and Kui Jin to manage.
Liu Xinnan made great contributions to writing an appeal against thieves, and was naturally promoted to a higher rank. She was promoted from editor of the Hanlin Academy to prefect of Ningguo Prefecture, and took office on the same day.
Ningguo Mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River, not far from Hangzhou, so she followed Song Che and the others.
There were several heavy rains in early February, which caused the water level in the river to rise, so we decided to return to Hangzhou by land instead of taking the waterway.
At this time, the drizzle is continuous, irrigating all things and nourishing the heart.
The new swallows carry spring mud in their mouths and fly over the head; the peach blossoms smile with the spring breeze and blow into the car window. Everything is so comfortable and beautiful.
"Sir, how many carriages and horses should we hire when we enter the city tomorrow?" the little book boy Lu An asked, calculating.
Liu Xinnan said: "No, it's no big deal. Hiring a team is too ostentatious and will cost a lot of money. I'd better take office incognito."
Lu An pursed his lips and said, "Master, I have studied hard for so many years with a poor family, just so that one day I can get the honors and return home to settle accounts with those who have bullied us? Especially that bastard Wang Zhipeng, we can finally go to him." I'm so angry!"
"Hey, by the way, is Wang Zhipeng the person who cheated for personal gain in the past and was caught by He Qiu and I?" Song Che asked.
Liu Xinnan hummed softly, "Those candidates who thought about cheating were all disqualified from the exam, and were sentenced to one year's probation for desecrating the imperial examination... Wang Zhipeng's father was the prefect of Ningguo, and perhaps he was influenced by Wang Zhipeng's cheating. The following year He was dismissed by His Majesty the Emperor, and the post of Ningguo Magistrate was put on hold until I took up the post today."
Speaking of this, she sighed softly, "In the past ten years, I have been immersed in studying. I have never understood the ways of the world, and I have no confidence in being an official. In addition, the Wang family has been entrenched in Ningguo Mansion for many years. Even if I lose power, I will definitely The family business is still there... I’m afraid it’s not going to be easy for me to be the prefect.”
Besides, she is still a woman. Even if she can learn to be strong, she can't keep her breasts flat for the rest of her life.
It's a bit difficult.
"Uu——"
The carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, and several people in the carriage almost staggered.
Jiang Yuntian, who was driving the car, put his head in from outside the car and said softly:
"We seem to have encountered robbers."
