The executioner who was slashing down with all his strength heard the words "Leave a person under the knife" and took back the ghost-head knife with great effort.
Just as Gao Changfu's head was about to fall to the ground, at the critical moment, a royal envoy from the imperial court suddenly appeared on horseback and entered the execution ground holding the imperial edict high in his hand.
"The Holy One has a decree! There are many doubts in this case and a new trial is required! Order the prison officer to release the prisoner Gao Changfu where he is. There must be no mistakes!"
After the imperial envoy read out the contents of the imperial edict, a pot exploded under the execution platform. The common people started talking one after another, thinking that there must be a traitor in the court who was obstructing him. Only then did Gao Changfu save his life!
Everyone knew very well that what Gao Changfu had done, even if he was beheaded a hundred times, would not be able to quell the hatred in the hearts of the people! Why did such a heinous criminal attract the attention of the court? What a mystery.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahaha! Don't you want me, Gao Changfu, to die? I'm sorry to disappoint you bunch of untouchables this time! Even the King of Heaven doesn't dare to touch a hair on my head!"
No wonder Gao Changfu kept looking into the distance before the execution. It turned out that he was waiting for the imperial edict from the court. When the time came and he didn't see the savior coming, he became frustrated and had to accept the fact of being beheaded.
When the imperial envoy appeared at the last moment, Gao Changfu felt that he had a sense of nirvana and rebirth. This feeling was very subtle.
"I accept the order!"
The supervisor stood up from the ground, received the imperial edict respectfully, and waved his hand to signal to his men to release Gao Changfu without charge in accordance with the imperial edict.
"Come on, you bunch of bastards? Untie me, master!"
Gao Changfu thought that he was protected by the imperial court and began to act recklessly. He kept provoking the officials at the scene. This scene was clearly seen by the imperial envoy who came to deliver the imperial edict. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely treat him when he returned. Report everything you see to the Holy One.
"Keep your mother under the sword~"
When Shen Anran frowned, Furan said five words coldly behind him, and then jumped up to a height of at least three feet! Hearing only three muffled sounds of "咻廻廻", three imperceptible silver needles flew out of his sleeves!
"Quick! Stop that strangely dressed thing by me!"
The sudden scene scared the officials at the scene so much that they shouted loudly and quickly stopped the mysterious man who was not good to Gao Changfu.
But Furan's movements were crisp and clean, and he had such incredible jumping ability that by the time the officers and soldiers reacted, it was already too late.
"Uh~how~how could this happen?"
All three silver needles penetrated into Gao Changfu's life gate, and a top-heavy feeling suddenly surged into his heart. After Gao Changfu vomited a mouthful of blood, his vision went dark, and he fell unwillingly on the execution platform.
He could not figure it out until his death. The imperial decree had clearly been delivered to the scene, so why could he still not escape death? And is that thing that jumped over Laogao a human or a ghost? Why are they wrapped like rice dumplings on a hot day?
"Get him! Don't let him escape the scene!"
When the imperial envoy saw that the person whom the emperor wanted to protect was killed by a mysterious person under his own eyes, he immediately became furious and wanted to capture the troublemaker and return to the court no matter what!
The scene immediately became noisy, and officers and soldiers rushed out collectively towards the direction where Fu Ran landed. How could they catch such a capable master?
Many people at the scene gave Fu Ran a thumbs up and regarded him as a great hero who eliminates harm for the people! Everyone made a way for Fu Ran to escape from the scene.
When the officers and soldiers were dispatched to catch up, the people became confused again, forming a thick human barrier, making it impossible for the officers and soldiers to break through the crowd, and missed the best opportunity to catch up.
When the crowd recedes, where can you still see the slightest shadow of Fu Ran?
When Shen Anran returned to Shen's Mansion, Fu Ran had been there for a long time. At this time, he had taken off his cotton clothes and was in the same state as usual.
"Then Gao Changfu also has a grudge against you? Why do you hold such grudge against him?"
Shen Anran had a doubt in his mind. Fu Ran's killing of Gao Changfu was definitely not an accident. There must be something inside.
"Anyone who makes you sad should be killed."
When the cold words came out of Fu Ran's mouth, they seemed to have infinite warmth and went straight into Shen Anran's chest! The reason why he was so angry and killed Gao Changfu in front of everyone was just to make Shen Anran not feel sad?
A strange world and strange people can make people feel unprecedented warmth, which makes Shen Anran feel like home.
"Master, there are notices posted all over the city now."
Lan Yue ran back to the mansion from outside in a hurry, claiming that the officers and soldiers were catching two thieves. One of the thieves sneaked into the Gaofu mansion at night with half a watermelon rind on his head and stole the Gaofu mansion's warehouse.
And the other one is the mysterious man who dressed up in strange clothes and killed Gao Changfu in public at the execution ground today.
"Half a piece of watermelon rind on your head?"
Shen Anran's brows knitted together again, and then she slowly turned her head towards Furan.
"The Shen family is too poor and couldn't find anything to cover their face. They only found half a piece of watermelon rind. Unexpectedly, it was still exposed."
Fu Ran didn't hide it, and openly admitted that he had stolen the Gao Mansion. He would try every means to disguise himself before doing anything, so as to avoid being exposed.
"excellent!"
Even if the two thieves that the officers and soldiers were chasing all over the city were the same person, and this person was still in Shen's mansion, it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to think of these two points no matter how hard they thought about it.
When Lan Yue left, she couldn't help but give Fu Ran a thumbs up and a sweet smile. She had already confirmed that this person had no ill intentions towards the Shen family.
Shen Anran returned to the house and continued to work on joining Shennongtang. The first step was to post the franchise plan all over the city to inform merchants of the benefits of joining Shennongtang.
If Shen Anran were to do this alone, it would take a lot of time and energy. In this age without printing, all words would need to be written stroke by stroke.
If so many franchise plans were written by one person, it would be impossible to complete within ten days and half a month. But with Furan's help, this matter was completed in less than two days.
He sat in front of the desk and copied the plan drawn up by Shen Anran. He copied from day to night, and from night to dawn. He didn't eat, drink or sleep, but he didn't feel sleepy or hungry at all.
The handwriting of the copied plans is so neat that each one can be called a work of art! Looking at the entire world, there will be no one whose fonts can match it!
"Three thousand plans should be enough, right?"
Looking at the pile of plan books, Shen Anran nodded with satisfaction, and started to post them all over the city with Lan Yue and Fu Ran.
"A very happy event. In order to let more people get rich together, Shennongtang is now launching a franchise plan! The first fifty merchants who successfully sign up will be rewarded with a thorough renovation of the drug store! Don't miss this opportunity!"
Under the city wall, a merchant in brocade looked up and read the plan, his eyes rolling around. He especially thought that the content described below was more exciting. The first ten merchants who signed up to join and signed the agreement, Shennongtang will launch [Full Process Running with you】Plan!
We can help you choose a suitable location for your drug store, provide professional technical guidance, and most importantly, provide free door curtain repair and shelf installation services!
"Is it true? Can the first ten merchants who sign up to join the franchise enjoy so many free benefits? I think it's not enough that Shen Anran has ruined the Shen family. Are you trying to push Shennongtang into the fire pit as well?"
Many people shook their heads after reading such a plan. Repairing a good shop is not a small sum of money.
According to Shennongtang's consistent style, it is very particular about repairs and container laying. According to the current price budget, the repair and laying of a drug store will cost at least a hundred and ten taels of silver or even more!
Judging by the lowest standard, the running support funds for ten franchised merchants will cost thousands of taels of silver! This is really not a small amount.
No wonder when everyone saw such a plan, they all thought it was making fun of themselves.
The word "franchise" is really unfamiliar to people of this era, and many people don't understand what it means.
