Qin Yu even ate Song Ning's vinegar, Gu Qing was a little ridiculous, and he also smiled really on his chest, and then his eyes rolled and said: "It's really dangerous to be a subordinate of His Highness, not only to do your best, but also to be ready to meet the master's inexplicable temper at any time, Song Ning is really pitiful." ”

Qin Yu pressed Gu Qingwan under him and said, "If it was about the prison cell of the Punishment Department last night, Qingqing wouldn't have to look for Song Ning, he didn't hear anything." ”

Gu Qingwan smiled slightly when she heard this, frowned, and said, "Could it be that when he is about to die, Liu Minsheng refuses to confide in the Gu family?" ”

Liu Minsheng doesn't look like a person who will keep his mouth shut for the Zhou family.

Gu Qing was wondering when he heard Qin Yudao: "Liu Minsheng is dead." ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Didn't you just behead at noon today?" How to die ......"

She said that she had already reacted, but before it was time to behead, Liu Minsheng died, and Song Ning did not hear any useful information, indicating that Liu Minsheng died before Liu Jiahui arrived at the Criminal Department. How could it be so coincidental, someone must have noticed her arrangement, so they killed people one step ahead of time.

Gu Qingwan's face turned ugly, and said: "The Zhou family is really arrogant, all the criminals in the Criminal Department dare to do it, isn't His Royal Highness ready to install two people from the Prince Li's Mansion in the Criminal Department?" ”

When Qin Yu heard this, he said, "Criminal Department? Shang Shu is a person from Prince Li's Mansion, as for the little shrimp general below...... Oh, you might as well take advantage of this rectification to one or two. Zhou Dingxing dared to stretch out his hand to the criminal department, so he didn't want to take it back intact. ”

Qin Yu is in a bad mood these days, and he is not in the mood to care about Gu Qingwan's things at all, so Liu Minsheng forgot about it, and let him focus on the defense of the next week. As a result, there was such a mistake, the Zhou family jumped out against him several times, Qin Yu was obviously annoyed, and the coldness on his face was a little oozing at this moment.

Gu Qingwan didn't expect that Qin Yuhui would blurt out such an important and secret matter as the Shangshu of the Criminal Department as a person from Prince Li's Mansion.

She was stunned, and for a moment remembered that Qin Yu was lightly coaxed by her last night, she seemed to understand something in her heart, her eyes flashed slightly, and her expression became a little complicated when she looked at Qin Yu. Then, she suddenly thought of going to Prince Li to offer medicine yesterday, and Mama Chen also asked Prince Li to send a few days to the princess to invite the ladies of the capital to come to enjoy the flowers, and asked the princess if she was sick and whether she had canceled the flower viewing party.

Princess Li also said at the time that she had almost recovered in the past few days, and there was no need to cancel the flower viewing party. And the people of the entire palace know that the princess is preparing for the flower viewing party, just to select the future concubine and side concubine for the prince and the second master.

Gu Qingwan thought about it, smiled, and said, "It's a pity...... It allowed the Zhou family to escape for the time being. She said, "Your Highness wants to lie on the bed, I have to get up, yesterday my sister-in-law sent a message, saying that she wanted to see the execution." I have to accompany my sister-in-law, and I have already asked the princess for permission. ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu wrinkled his eyebrows, grabbed Gu Qingwan, who had already sat up, and said, "Look at the execution?" Won't you be afraid? Why bother looking for that thrill, it's sad to see it. ”

There was a look of worry between his eyebrows, unintentionally, seeing Feng Ziye beheaded, he would only remind them of what happened when the Gu family raided the house, and it would only remind the men of the Gu family that they were also beheaded by the knife and axe hand like that, but sometimes people just find their own guilt, and they can't struggle in the whirlpool, after all, it is always happy to watch the enemy being beheaded.

Gu Qingwan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law wants to go, I can't let her face those by herself." ”

Qin Yu sighed, and finally let go of Gu Qingwan, but said, "Clean it up, Master will accompany you." ”

An hour later, Gu Qing picked up Zhuang Yuexian in the evening and rode the carriage to the noon gate.

Today's execution is another boiling case of martial arts fraud, and it is still a high-ranking official such as the general of Yipin and the governor of Gyeonggi Wei who will be beheaded, so many ordinary people and martial arts people who came to see the excitement are still beheaded. Before the hour came, the execution table was full of people, and it was very lively.

When the carriage was almost in front of the execution table, it could not move and stopped.

Gu Qingwan and Zhuang Yuexian put on their hats and jumped out of the carriage, and at a glance they saw that Qin Yu had also dismounted and was already standing next to the carriage. He was wearing an ordinary navy blue robe, no jewelry, and a hat buttoned on his head, which was very low-key. However, he has an outstanding temperament, and he is tall and straight, no matter where he is, he gives people a sense of standing out from the crowd, and it still attracts many people to look at this side.

"Let's go, the king has prepared a hidden place." Qin Yuyan stopped, stepped forward and gently hugged Gu Qingwan, avoiding the crowded crowd and walking forward, and Kumquat was also busy protecting Zhuang Yuexian behind him.

The crowd surged, Qin Yu protected Gu Qingwan in his arms, Gu Qingwan looked at the high execution table in front of him, and his legs were slightly weak.

A scene in my memory flashed in front of my eyes, the blood in the sky, the familiar face was carried up by the big knife, and in my ears was the invective and cheering of the people watching the execution, and Zhuang Yuexian's heart-rending cry, she fell to the ground and was swallowed by the darkness.

The execution table near the front was the place where the father and son of the Gu family were beheaded a year ago, and the sun shone on the execution table wantonly, and the specks of blood were clearly visible, and among the blood stained over the years was the blood left by her grandfather and father.

Gu Qingwan's legs dilated, and there was an arm under her armpit, which supported her forcefully and firmly, and gently pulled her into her arms.

Gu Qingwan leaned on Qin Yu's body, only to feel that his chest was wide and warm, with a familiar breath, and the steady heartbeat came from her eardrums, as if it could transmit her strength, no matter what, at this moment, leaning on his arms, she felt extremely relieved.

Nearly noon, the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department escorted the torture car to the execution platform, and it was Shangshu of the Criminal Department who was imprisoned, and Feng Ziye was escorted to the execution platform and knelt down, and the knife and axe hand stood beside him with a bright big knife. Although Liu Minsheng was dead, he could not be exempted from the results of the two heads, the body was dragged to the execution table, and because of his self-defeat, the emperor issued an order to condemn his family.

Men were exiled to bitter cold places, and women were reduced from official prostitutes to military prostitutes.

After reading the execution ceremony, Gu Qingwan sent Zhuang Yuexian back, but was taken to Xianyue Tower by Qin Yu. Qin Yu took this opportunity to ask Shen Xue out, along with Chen Xinying's father, Chen Sanye.

Everyone sat down and had a meal together, Gu Qingwan took out the drawings he had drawn, and said with a smile: "I budgeted it, except for the silver to buy the land in Linhe, our restaurant will be built, and then add the things needed, plus the purchase of cooks and work, it will probably cost as much as 40,000 taels of silver." I don't know how much silver the masters are going to take? More silver, more dry shares in the future, but it doesn't matter if there is less silver, this looks at the construction of the restaurant, busy before and after, and the restaurant is built to be the shopkeeper, the operation needs someone to be responsible, in short, the hand is not sufficient, you can contribute, it is the same. Today, we had better discuss how many dry shares each has, and then formally sign the paperwork. ”

Gu Qing said it late, put the drawn drawings on the table and pushed them out, and said: "This is the sketch of the restaurant I have drawn, the first one is the general appearance of the restaurant after it is built, everyone take a look, and it is good to have a number in your heart." ”

Li Dongzhe was the closest, so he took the drawing with his hand, and after just one glance, his eyes widened, swallowed his saliva, and said, "This is the building?" How can this be a building? Can the pavilion still be built like this? ”

His reaction was so violent that everyone became curious, Guo Dong next to him snatched the drawings, and was immediately stunned, Shen Xue and Chen Yongyan couldn't wait, turned sideways to look, and were all surprised.

After looking at it for a while, Shen Zecai pointed to the drawing and said: "This seems to be a four-story pavilion, if you don't look at this spiraling staircase, if you cover it again, it will look like a pavilion." ”

He still sighed a little incredulously, and said: "I have never seen such a pavilion, if it can really be built, it must be the dishes of our restaurant, and it can also be like a cloud." The master felt that the money he had prepared for the occupation was too small, and he was ready to go back and loot and add another 5,000 taels! ”

Gu Qingwan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, and said, "So, how much silver is Shen Gongzi going to give in the end?" ”

Shen Ze's folding fan in his hand turned around on his fingertips, then slid into his hand, and said, "The master takes eight thousand miles of silver." Seeing that the corners of Gu Qingwan's lips twitched, Shen Xue embarrassedly shook off the folding fan, blocked his face slightly, and said, "Actually, the master likes to collect some antiques and calligraphy and paintings too much on weekdays, so the hand is tighter." ”

After that, he coughed lightly twice, stabbed Guo Dong, and said, "Dongzi has silver, so it's not a problem to get more than 40,000 taels of silver." ”

Guo Dong smiled, slapped the drawings on the table, and said, "Just rush this drawing, the master will take out all the family resources and give 15,000 taels!" ”

He is not in good health, the elders are inevitably doting, and there is no less subsidy on weekdays, in comparison, he is richer than Shen Xue.

Chen Yongyan touched his nose a little embarrassed, and said, "The master can only pay three thousand taels, but this good cook in the capital, the master can find a few!" The cook's business is wrapped up in the master. ”

Chen Yongyan and Li Dongzhe love to spend money and drink on weekdays, go in and out of Yanliu Lane, spend money like dirt, and they really don't have any savings, they say they are poor, they are really poor.

Li Dongzhe also smiled, glanced at Gu Qingwan embarrassedly, and said: "It's a pity, you shouldn't squander it on weekdays, and now that the great opportunity is in front of you, you can't take advantage of it." The master is also limited in ability, so he can also pay three thousand taels. However, in my mother's dowry, there is a private cookbook, and the master can get the recipe ideas and contribute them to our restaurant. ”

Gu Qingwan nodded and said, "The recipe can't be asked for nothing, and it can also be counted as dry stocks." Where's you, uncle? ”

Chen Sanye was holding the drawings and reading them seriously, unlike Shen Xue, he used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry was the government office of the imperial court in charge of construction projects.

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression became more and more excited and fanatical, Gu Qingwan called again, and Chen Sanye raised his gaze from the drawings and said, "Uncle...... Only 1,000 taels of silver were prepared, and if the nephew of the restaurant was put down and handed over to her uncle, the uncle would guarantee that the construction would be the same as on this drawing. In addition, the future operation of the restaurant can also be handed over to the uncle. ”

Gu Qingwan knew the situation of the Chen family, if it weren't for the lack of life and the oppression of the long house, Chen Sanye and other literati who had been a scholar would never come out to do business, and she was not surprised to hear Chen Sanye say that there were only 1,000 taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Look at what my uncle said, you can be in charge of the construction of the restaurant, it is overkill!" What can I worry about, in this case, we still have a difference of 10,000 taels of silver. It took 18,000 taels to buy the land that day, which was taken by my sister-in-law, and the remaining 10,000 taels were also paid by my Gu family. In addition, the Gu family also published a cookbook, which was my sister-in-law's dowry, and my sister-in-law would be responsible for training the cook to make authentic dishes at that time. ”

The silver that Gu Qingwan used to buy land before was the jewelry obtained from the eldest princess and the gold rewarded by the empress dowager. There wasn't much left after using it, but Gu Qingwan felt that with the Jade Lotus in her hand, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to earn another 10,000 taels of silver in a short period of time.

The restaurant is her move, and she must be the largest shareholder and control the absolute right to speak.

Seeing that she was very angry and wanted to take the remaining part of the silver, Shen Xue was not surprised, but it was Qin Yu who gave Gu Qing a late property.

After all, they all saw it, there was really nothing wrong with the impeachment of the imperial history, although Qin Yu did not have a wife, he had definitely embarked on the road of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife.

Otherwise, Gu Qingwan would have taken out so much silver from a criminal courtier, and her tone would be so big.

Shen Xue looked at Qin Yu unconsciously and playfully, but Qin Yu only had a wry smile. He hoped that Gu Qingwan would reach out to him and ask for silver, but he first asked for the land, and Gu Qingwan bought the land himself in a blink of an eye and pushed him aside.

After some discussion, the Gu family directly accounted for forty percent of the dry shares of the restaurant, and the remaining sixty percent, Guo Dong took two percent, and Shen Xue scraped the other forty percent, signed the documents on the spot, and several people pressed their fingerprints, and the matter was completely settled.

Gu Qingwan stood up, several people toasted to celebrate, Qin Yu sat next to him, looking elated, his face was full of light, as if he was about to sit on the few brothers of the gold and silver mountains, and suddenly felt that this exclusion should not be too obvious.
