Guangling, as one of the most financially abundant and economically developed cities and counties in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was still the land of the Southern Tang Dynasty thirty years ago, named Jiangdu, and was the last of the 17 cities captured by the commander of the Eastern Route Army and the first fierce general [Tiger of Hanoi] Dongguo Gong Liang Qiu in the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time.

This great feat, is still talked about by the world, even when Liangqiu Dance mentioned this matter, he was also full of reverence for his grandfather Liangqiu Gong, you must know that the seventeen cities are not ordinary small towns and small counties, they are all county-level cities, but Liangqiu Gong, from the junction of the Great Zhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty on the shore of Baima Lake in Xuzhou, the momentum is like a bamboo, all the way to Guangling along the Yangtze River, it is simply a city a day, you can imagine the courage of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army.

Sometimes Xie An really can't figure out that the old man who secretly ate wine behind his granddaughter's back in the house because of greed, and had an innocent expression on his face after being caught, would be one of the most feared several Great Zhou Tiger generals in Jiangnan.

Ah, Liang Qiu Gong is indeed a hero in the world, but what shocked Xie An was that he had heard Mr. Storyteller rap about Liang Qiu Gong's fierce exploits in the tavern in Guangling City many times, which really made him a little unbelievable.

At that time, Xie An had not yet been assassinated by the Guangling assassins, and the little girl Wang Xin had not yet recognized Xie An as her godbrother, and the relationship between the two was only that of the molested and the molested.

I have to say that Xie An was really puzzled at that time, and later he understood that it turned out. At the beginning, after Liang Qiugong fought all the way from Xuzhou to Guangling in half a month, he was caught off guard and immediately laid heavy troops on the river, not only blockading the entire river area, but also sending 60,000 additional troops to Jinling on the other side of the river.

What's not good is that the soldiers of the Eastern Army led by Liang Qiu Gong are all cavalry from the north and are not good at water warfare, so Liang Qiu Gong and the Eastern Army settled down outside Guangling City until Lu Gong, the commander of the Western Road of the Great Zhou Southern Expeditionary Army, opened the situation in Jingzhou. The main force of the Southern Expeditionary Army, led by Li Ji, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, also conquered the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, forcing the Southern Tang Dynasty into an embarrassing situation of being attacked on three sides, and had to transfer troops from Jinling, so that Liangqiu Gong crossed the river and conquered Jinling, a major city that can be called a bridgehead in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Although it can be summed up in one sentence, Liang Qiugong lived in Guangling for a year and a half. It is said that there is still a military camp set up by the Eastern Army outside the city, although it has long been abandoned and deserted.

However, it is precisely because of this that the people of Guangling City are not afraid of the Eastern Army, and even the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, after all, the Duke of Liangqiu has conquered this city since he did not offend them, even if the people in the city were frightened at first, but after a year, it was commonplace. It's no wonder.

In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the three-way southern expeditionary army did not make any brutal acts of massacre at that time, forcing the Southern Tang Emperor Liu Sheng to death. After Hulin changed the name of the country to [Hongwu], the former emperor Li Ji of the Great Zhou Dynasty returned to Jijing with satisfaction, and the brutal deeds of the Great Zhou army to slaughter the soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan occurred after the Taiping Army unveiled the pole uprising.

According to Sun Xiangyu, the assistant of Xiannai, told Xie An. Li Ji, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had just returned from the Northern Expedition to Wairong in triumph, and was in a stage of complacent praise under the praise of hundreds of officials in the Jijing Dynasty. regarded himself as surpassing the previous emperors, and even asked the Ministry of Rites to hold an unprecedented celebration in the capital of Hebei.

During the celebration, the officials of the Ministry of Rites held congratulatory messages to praise Li Ji as a wise and martial king, not only expanded the territory of the Great Zhou, but also put the entire country in an orderly manner.

At that time, Li Ji didn't even care about the celebration that he had been preparing for several months, and without saying a word, he was still wearing a black dragon robe for sacrificial purposes and directly took the four towns of Jijing out of the city and went south to quell the rebellion.

This is not counting, what makes Li Ji even more angry is that he was blocked in Jinling City for more than a few months, and in a fit of anger, he asked the Southern Army to slaughter the old ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty who defended the city to assist the Taiping Army, and then heard that Liang Qiujing, the future successor of the Eastern Army and the second son of the Duke of Dongguo, died violently in Wuhu.

Dongzhen Hou Liang Qiujing, who was weak at the time, but had shown the courage of his father Liang Qiu Gong and his brother Liang Qiu Gong, Li Jilai also counted on him to assist the future heir to the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty like his father Liang Qiu Gong, Li Ji was sad at that time, after all, with his friendship with Liang Qiu Gong, Liang Qiu Jing was undoubtedly his nephew-like existence, but the result was good, a rebellion that was not commendable, and the Great Zhou court lost such a promising tiger general.

Although under the persuasion of Prime Minister Yingong and Liang Qiugong, Li Ji finally ordered to stop the brutal act of massacring the people in Jiangnan, but he was not relieved, but just shifted the spearhead to the remnants of the Taiping Army, he ordered the officials in various places south of the Yangtze River to search for the remnants of the Taiping Army, and would rather kill 1,000 than let go of one, so that countless innocent people died tragically in this year-long catastrophe.

I have to say that it is not without reason that Li Ji is called a tyrant by the Jiangnan people.

Compared with Jinling, which became devastated in this catastrophe, Guangling should feel fortunate, although it is not more than a county away from Jinling across the river, but Li Ji's anger has not affected it, and it has also made Guangling although it has also suffered from wars and has undergone a change of dynasty, but the economic losses in the city are insignificant, and during the decline of Jinling, it has become the richest county in Yang and Wu regions, and the business of the major wealthy families in the city has expanded to the whole country.

It is said that the household department of Jijing has counted that the wealth of the whole country of the Great Zhou Dynasty is concentrated in Jijing, and the remaining sixty percent is distributed throughout the country, which has nothing to explain, after all, Jijing is the capital of the Great Zhou, but Guangling can account for a full one percent of the sixty percent.

Guangling has no shortage of rich people, the rice of Xu and Yang, and the salt of Huaiyin and Yan. Jingzhou's tea, Shu's brocade silk, but all the materials that can be circulated in the Great Zhou Dynasty can be seen in Guangling City, don't look at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with tens of millions of taels in his hands, he is really a little rich woman, but it is nothing in Guangling, there are many rich people in the city, and he grabs a handful.

Of course. A loser like Xie An who casually threw out two million taels to redeem himself for [Mirage] Qin Keer is still rare in the city, after all, the family and the rich value profits, and buy a beautiful woman with two million taels, I'm afraid only a heartless guy like Xie An can do it. It's as if the money is blowing in the wind.

Because of this, the pseudonym of Xie Ana [Changsun Wu] has been completely spread in Guangling Mansion in recent days, and has become the after-dinner material of the people in the city.

"Tsk! If you really have money and no place to talk, buy a woman with two million taels of silver......" The people who said this must be ordinary people.

"You know what? That's Miss Yushu, Qin Ke'er of [Mirage] of [Four Ji]! - It's a pity that Childe wasn't there that day...... Tut! That guy named Changsun Wu didn't come out of nowhere, Miss Yushu wouldn't take it seriously and agree to his redemption, right? A tone of envy and jealousy. I don't want to know that it's the son of a rich family in the city.

"It's a foreigner, isn't that guy named Changsun Wu? -- Outsiders dare to come to our Guangling to show their wealth? It's clear that you don't look at our Guangling in your eyes! "The one who said this was obviously a good man who was idle and had nothing to do.

Quietly listening to the chatter of the guests in the teahouse, the shopkeeper who was settling accounts behind the counter did not pay attention.

Tea houses, taverns, green houses. It has always been a place where people gather, and it is the easiest to quarrel and the easiest to obtain information.

The shopkeeper of this teahouse is surnamed Tao Mingzhi and is in his forties. There are more than ten teahouses and taverns in the city, which are called Tao Banjie. That is to say, this person's financial resources can buy half a street in Guangling City, which sounds very remarkable, but in Guangling, there are too many rich people who can afford the reputation of [Banjie], and it is nothing.

Wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it, this truth Tao Zhi has a profound experience, think about what kind of scenery the Su family in the lotus pond was back then, known as Su Bancheng, but as a result, it was forced out by a rich family headed by the Deng family in Guangling City, so that the family was ruined, and the wealth of the rich rival country was burned, so that Tao Zhi and other small rich people in Guangling City were completely chilled.

As long as there is the Deng family, there is no fair competition in Guangling, if you insist on coming out, the Su family is a lesson from the past, after understanding this truth, Tao Zhi will not have the so-called ambition, just thinking about An An to keep his own foundation, as for the development of the family business, he dare not think about it.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T With the sound of hurried footsteps, a bloated middle-aged man hurried in from outside the teahouse, his chubby right hand on the counter, panting like a cow.

Tao Zhi recognized this person, this person is his business partner, the shopkeeper of the [Zhang Ji] brand name in the city, Zhang Wang, when the Su family was in power, the two discussed and wanted to follow the Su family to run some silk business, after all, the Su family was quite generous at that time, fair competition, never dominated the market, and made people lose the heart, not as domineering as the Deng family, but the competition on the bright side could not be competitive, so they bought the ruffians behind their backs to make trouble at the opponent's house, and even used their power in the government to dump, and the Su family finally lost to the Deng family headed by more than ten rich families, Losing the land and bankrupting the family, the family was ruined, and the frightened Tao Zhi and Zhang Wang hurriedly sold the silk in their hands at a low price and switched to other businesses, for fear of being targeted by the Deng family.

"What are you doing out of breath? Come, eat a bowl of tea and press it. Tao Zhi poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang waved his hand, stabilized his breathing, licked his dry lips and said with interest, "Brother Tao, Xikou Vegetable Market is going to kill people......

Tao Zhi frowned when he heard this, and said suspiciously, "Even if the Deng family is overbearing, it won't buy the government to kill innocents indiscriminately, right?" - Is there still a royal law? ”

"What!" Zhang Wang waved his hand and said in a low voice, "This time it is the Deng family's eldest young Deng Yuan, our Guangling Mansion Governor Zhang Qi and Master Zhang personally supervise the beheading!" ”

"Hiss......" Tao Zhi gasped when he heard this, and said in shock, "That Deng Yuan is the eldest young man of the Deng family, and he is also the brother-in-law of Lord Zhang. - Brother, can you coax me to play? ”

"Where do you have the time to coax my brother to play?" Zhang Wang rolled his eyes speechlessly, lowered his voice and said, "And Han Zhong, the county lieutenant of our Guangling Mansion, will be beheaded today...... There is also Chen Ji, the head of the Chen family. Zheng Li, the head of the Zheng family, Yan Luo, the head of the Yan family, there are many people, dozens of them, and they are kneeling in the Xikou vegetable market right now, waiting for the three o'clock in the afternoon, and they will be headed! ”

Tao Zhi's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Zhang Wang in disbelief, knowing that those were the heads of a wealthy family of the first rank in Guangling. On weekdays, he can even call the prefect a brother and sister, how can he say that he will be killed at this time?

"Brother, are you going? -- When I arrived, many people in the city had already rushed to the west market entrance when they heard the news, and there was no place for us to stand when it was too late! Zhang Wang asked eagerly.

"Let's go!" Tao Zhi didn't say a word. I couldn't take care of the teahouse I ran, and Zhang Wang hurriedly ran to Xishikou to see the excitement, as for the tea guests who were eating tea and chatting in his teahouse, as early as Zhang Wang said that Xishikou was going to kill Deng Yuan, he threw down a few tea money and silver and ran away, obviously to join in the fun.

I have to say that Tao Zhi was a little skeptical at first, after all, the Deng family alone has a huge influence in Guangling. What's more, there are several other family heads, in his opinion, even if Zhang Qi, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, really wants to deal with those people strictly, I'm afraid he has to consider the consequences. Unless Zhang Qi suffers from madness.

But seeing the crowds of people on the street, Tao Zhi gradually believed it, and when he and Zhang Wang finally came to Xishikou, they forced to squeeze through the crowd and came to the front. Only then did he completely believe it, after all, the people Zhang Wang said. At the moment, he was wearing a plain white death row inmate's clothes, kneeling on the beheading table that had been erected at some point, and behind them, a shirtless strong man was drinking wine in a big bowl to strengthen his courage, and there was no doubt that these strong men were the executioners who were about to kill the prisoner.

Hiss......

Catching a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye, Tao Zhi gasped in shock, staring at the old man who seemed to be in his fifties kneeling beside Deng Yuan.

Deng Yi turned out to be Deng Yi, Deng Yuan's biological father, the head of the Deng family, and the father-in-law of Zhang Qi, the prefect of their Guangling Mansion......

"Our prefect can't really be crazy, right?" Muttering in disbelief, Tao Zhi stood on tiptoe to look at the prison beheading platform, only to see that under the small shed of the prison beheading platform, Zhang Qi, the prefect of their Guangling Mansion, was now raising his hand from time to time, wiping the cold sweat that frequently broke out of his head with his sleeve.

Suddenly, Tao Zhi noticed that their prefect looked in the direction of the left from time to time, and followed his line of sight, Tao Zhi found that there was a small shed on the left side of the prison beheading platform, and there was a table in the shed, and behind the table sat a boy in a flaming red brocade robe, drinking wine with an indifferent face.

"Zhang Qi, you don't know what to do, the old man promised his beloved daughter to you, and spent a lot of money to make some connections for you, so you repay the old man?" In the midst of the discussion of the onlookers, Deng Yi, the head of the Deng family on the execution platform, scolded loudly.

"Stop, stop!" Zhang Qi, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, turned red, raised his hand and shouted, "The official is the prefect of Guangling Mansion, the local parent official, as an official father-in-law, you don't know how to introspect, relying on the name of the official, and conspiring with those evil businessmen to frame the Su family, causing the Su family to go bankrupt and the family to be ruined. ”

"Fart! ――Didn't you get a share of the Su family's wealth? You don't know what to do! ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Qi panicked in his heart, and reprimanded angrily, "Come on, plug this old man's mouth for me!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Qi felt a little relieved, and secretly glanced at Xie An, who was eating and drinking indifferently under the shed not far away, and saw that this big man from Jijing did not say anything, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"That Zhang Qi is not a good thing!" Glancing at Zhang Qi, who was trembling on the platform, Gou Gong said coldly.

"I know," Xie An replied casually, holding a wine glass and said lightly, "But then again, there are a few officials who don't love money, or how to say [Qianli is an official only for money]?" - This Zhang Qi also knows that he is an official, and he did not wantonly loot the people's fat and people's ointment, so it is not impossible to spare him once......"

Gou Gong nodded when he heard this, and said with a strange expression, "But after this matter, I'm afraid those ignorant people in the city will praise that guy for his goodness...... The adult personally gave this person a gold-lettered signboard of [righteous annihilation]! ”

"Heh, that's what I said!"

"Aren't you worried? In the future, if the lord wants to remove this person's official, I am afraid that he will provoke the criticism of the ignorant people in the city! ――Why should an official as good as Lord Zhang Qi be dismissed? "Gou Gong vividly learned the tone of the ignorant people.

Seeing that Gou Gong said something interesting, Xie An couldn't help but chuckle, and then said lightly, "Even if he is lucky...... The Guangling Assassin helped him! ”

Gou Gong was stunned. Then he suddenly understood that it was nothing more than that the special official of the imperial court who could prove Xie An's identity accidentally fell into the hands of the Guangling assassins that night, so Xie An could only use Zhang Qi, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, to eradicate the villains in the city who framed the Su family back then, so as not to make the people in Guangling City suspicious, otherwise, why would Zhang Qi be needed to supervise the beheading?

"What the adult said is that Zhang Qi is indeed lucky...... But then again, even if the adults want to let him go. But to spare him so easily, he always feels that he is a little cheaper...... I think that I have to knock him well! - And those guys who were attached to the Deng family earlier, they can't be cheapened, anyway, the Guangling people are quite rich......"

"That's right......" Xie An replied by touching his chin. Suddenly, I heard a cold snort full of disdain from beside me, turned my head, and said with a smile, "Girl, what's wrong?" What are you pouting for? Who you off? ”

"That's you! - Don't talk to me, don't pay attention to you! Glaring at Xie An angrily, the little girl thought about it. added, "That official surnamed Zhang is not a good official, and you are not a good official either!" -- Molested a woman from a good family, and bought her for so much silver. And now you have to threaten those people to give you money......"

The more the little girl talked, the more angry she became, probably because she had a very good impression of Xie An, especially after Xie An had helped her, she subconsciously regarded Xie An as the best good person in the world. And now, with the gradual increase in the number of days together. She found out that Xie An was not the outright good person she imagined, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

"Oh, don't you want to pay attention to my brother? - So, do you still plan to be your brother's concubine? Xie An quipped.

The little girl's cheeks turned red when she heard this, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

"It seems that she is still planning to be a concubine......" Xie An teased the little girl in front of him.

may have realized that she was tricked by Xie An, the little girl glared at Xie An fiercely with her fierce eyes as much as possible, snorted and turned her head, no matter how much Xie An teased her, she never spoke again.

"This girl ......" Seeing that Wang Xin always ignored herself, Xie An was also a little confused, and turned around and asked Gou Gong and the others, "What time is it?" ”

Gou Gong raised his head, covered his forehead with his hand, squinted at the sky, and said unconfidently, "It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon, right?" ”

Before Xie An could speak, the little girl next to her tugged at Xie An's sleeve and asked curiously, "Why does the execution have to wait until three o'clock in the afternoon?" ”

Seeing the little girl's curious gaze, Xie An smiled and said with a wicked smile, "Hey, girl, didn't you say you won't talk to your brother?" ”

The little girl's face turned red when she heard this, she couldn't speak, she looked very cute, and after a few breaths, she said angrily, "Only I am allowed to talk to you, not to talk to me!" ”

"Wow, that's so rude!" Under the knowing smiles of Gou Gong, Xiao Li and others, Xie An looked at the little girl with an exaggerated expression.

I have to say that women's brutality is what their elders and brothers are used to, if it weren't for Xie An's sincere regard for the little girl as his sister these days, spoiling her, and being the little girl a few days ago, how could he dare to speak to Xie An like this?

remembered that Xie An once privately complained that Duke Yin was too pampered by his granddaughter, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, which made him suffer very much after marriage, and now it seems that he himself is not much better.

However, this is enough to prove that Xie An does treat the little girl as his own sister, and does his duty and obligation as a brother, unfortunately, the little girl does not seem to treat him as a brother, and in the past few days, she has been angry with Xie An because of Qin Keer's affairs, although she still has not figured out the difference between husband and wife and brother and sister in terms of feelings.

"Okay, okay, I said, don't catch it, my brother's right hand is not yet complete," said dotingly, Xie An looked at the little girl who was a little proud, and explained softly, "The reason why the murderer is killed at three o'clock in the afternoon, three o'clock in the afternoon is the heaviest time of the day, and the world thinks that if the murderer is killed at this time, the ghost of the criminal will not turn into a ghost to ask for his life...... Got it? ”

"Amazing...... Whoa? When the little girl heard this, a trace of horror flashed on her face, and she grabbed Xie An's sleeve tightly with a creepy face, and asked in horror, "Really...... Are you sure? Will those people become ghosts when they die? ”

Xie An wanted to explain that there are no ghosts in this world, but looking at the little girl's trembling appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. He laughed three times, lowered his voice, and said in a threatening tone, "Ah, it's going to become a ghost...... Maybe the people on the execution ground at this moment will be the targets of those people who will become powerful ghosts after they die......"

The little girl turned her head mechanically, glanced at the dozens of prisoners kneeling on the execution table, swallowed her saliva, and pulled Xie An's sleeve. whispered, "Brother, let's go back, don't stay here anymore......"

Why is that? - Hey, girl. Are you scared? ”

"I ...... I'm not afraid......" The little girl said stiffly, but looking at her slightly trembling shoulders and frightened expression, she didn't look like she was not afraid at all.

"Don't be afraid, then stay here......" Ignoring the little girl's pitiful appearance that was almost scared to cry, Xie An said with a smile.

Xie An still remembers that when he was a child, some people used similar words to scare him. At the time, he was very angry, but now that he has changed places, he finally realizes the fun of scaring children. It's really interesting.

No, in Xie An's opinion, the little girl's slightly reddened eyes gave him a sense of accomplishment far more than the execution of the prisoners on the execution table. After all, with Xie An's current identity, he executed murderers like Deng Yi, Deng Yuan's father and son, who had framed the Su family and even killed him. It is true that I am happy in my heart, but I don't have any sense of achievement, although the Deng family is quite powerful in Guangling, but what is it in Xie An's eyes today? It's just a bug to death.

Moreover, he should have become a dead person four years ago, but at that time, Lu Gong was negligent, and he didn't expect that he would be taken advantage of by those guys and execute a group of people who should have died with absolute power, what sense of accomplishment can he have?

Keeping an eye on the execution time was none other than the newly appointed county magistrate Li Yang, who glanced at the sundial next to him almost every few moments.

When it was three o'clock in the afternoon, he walked up to Zhang Qi, the prefect of Guangling, who was the supervisor, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the time has come!" ”

Zhang Qi shuddered when he heard this, unconsciously glanced in Xie An's direction, and after taking a deep breath, he shouted in a deep voice, "Prepare for execution!" ”

Li Yang nodded, turned back to the executioner on the execution table and shouted, "My lord has an order, the time has come, kill people!" ”

Suddenly, the surrounding onlookers boiled and rushed to the front of the line, for fear that they would not be able to see the exciting moment, after all, the prisoner kneeling on the execution table at this moment was not a good person.

"Are you really going to be killed?" Tao Zhi, the shopkeeper of the teahouse, subconsciously clenched his fists, after all, he was not less overwhelmed by those wealthy people when he was doing business in the past.

"Isn't it......" Zhang Wang answered casually, and then turned around and scolded, "What are you squeezing?" Squeeze me any more and I'll be tortured everywhere! ”

The onlookers were certainly excited, but the prisoner on the execution table was even more excited, or more precisely, with endless fear.

Seeing that the big knife was already on his neck, Deng Yuan, the eldest young man of the Deng family, who was arrogant and domineering a few days ago, was paralyzed as if his bones had been removed at this moment, and even his father, Deng Yi, who had just scolded Zhang Qi, also showed a look of horror in his eyes at this time, and his face was pale, and the rest of the people were all like this.

As soon as the executioner was ready, he invariably looked at Zhang Qi, who was the supervisor and beheader, and Zhang Qi looked at Xie An under the shed next to him with asking for instructions.

Noticing Zhang Qi's inquiring gaze, Xie An put away the playful look when he was playing with the little girl Wang Xin, gently pulled her over, and said in a low voice, "Although many of those people on the execution table are the murderers of your father, but listen to my brother's words, you should not look at this kind of thing......

Obviously, the little girl also realized what was about to happen, nodded, sat sideways, and buried her head in Xie An's chest.

Gently patting the back of the little girl in his arms, Xie An turned his head to look at Zhang Qi, hung his right hand, and made a downward splitting motion.

Seeing Xie An's gesture, Zhang Qi took a deep breath, picked up a signed order from the bamboo tube on the table with a trembling right hand, and looked at the familiar prisoners on the execution table.

He knew very well that he was carrying the black pot for Xie An, and if this signing order was dropped, he would inevitably be deeply hated by the families of those who were executed, including his beloved wife Deng who had been favored earlier and who was now divorced, and he would be frantically retaliated against by them for today's incident, but Zhang Qi had no choice, because he knew that if he didn't kill these people for that adult. Then the adult will take it upon himself and take him Zhang Qi to behead him together.

"Slash!" With great difficulty, he spit out a word from his mouth, Zhang Qi's heart was crossed, and he threw the signing order in his hand to the ground.

Seeing that the signing order fell to the ground, dozens of executioners on the execution table raised the big knives in their hands, and after the jailers who helped poured a few sips of wine on those prisoners, the big knives in their hands were slashed down.

For a while, dozens of heads fell to the ground, and dazzling blood was splashed all over the stage. The onlookers erupted into a deafening cry, and many of them praised Zhang Qi's righteous killing of relatives.

Zhang Qi, on the other hand, was slumped in the chair, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat, because he knew. Just a little bit, he might be one of those headless corpses on stage.

He secretly looked at Xie An, wanting to see the attitude of this big man.

Under Zhang Qi's sneaky observation, Xie An gently patted the back of the little girl in his arms with his right hand, looked at the headless dead corpses on the stage with cold eyes, and raised the wine glass with his left hand and drank it.

At this moment, Xie An couldn't help but think of Su Xing, the head of the Su family. The father of Su Wan, who was extremely bad at business, but was very kind, and finally died unjustly by Su Wan, who was killed in prison......

I also thought of Su Wan's mother, who was gentle and kind. The hostess of the Su family, who was regarded by Su Wan as an object of emulation......

I also thought of my benefactor Wang Wu......

During the period when the dozens of heads were still rolling on the execution table, the past scenes and experiences surfaced to Xie Anxin for some reason, from the very beginning when he was taken in by Su Wan, the young lady of the Su family, and then the knife test was favored by Su Wan's father. He was promoted from Jiading to the treasurer of the cloth village in Guangling City......

Then, with his Xie An's far beyond the world's insight, he put forward such a suggestion as branding. It was proposed to let the Su family's cloth village take the high-quality route, so that everyone in Guangling at that time was proud of wearing a brocade dress printed with the name of [Su Ji], and it was hard to call the Deng family and other old cloth villages, cloth spinning customers lost, and the profits were lost, making the Su family the most famous wealthy family in Guangling City......

Then the Su family was retaliated against by more than ten wealthy families in the city, bought off some officials in Guangling Mansion, and killed Su Xing, the head of the Su family, in prison, the hostess of the Su family missed her husband and died depressed......

Su Wan......

In the end, it was still the eldest lady of the Su family who appeared in Xie An's room, although she was not as amazing and talented as the eldest grandson Xiangyu, nor was she as ingenious as Yiyi, and she was not as martial arts as Liangqiu Dance and Jin Ling'er......

As for [Mirage] Qin Ke'er, this famous prostitute assassin in Guangling, whose appearance was not inferior to Changsun Xiangyu, did not even have a place in Xie Anxin, although her appearance was very moving to Xie Anxin.

[Sister Wan'er, I'm going to be an official, a big official!] - Within ten years, I will definitely take you back to Guangling, and at that time, I will have to make the Guangling gang pay! -- The grace of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid! Ten times the reward! ]

[hmm......]

Recalling Su Wan's pretending to be strong with a smile on her face at that time, Xie An only felt panicked in her heart.

"I have fulfilled my original promise, Sister Wan'er......"

Xie An's muttering made the little girl in her arms raise her head suspiciously, she looked at the brother-like man in front of her in confusion, feeling that he was a little strange at the moment, and she felt a little scared.

She looked at Xie An timidly, watched him drink the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then put the wine cup back on the table, and the fierce force even caused the wine cup to crack a few thin cracks.

"Happy!"

Whether he was happy to see his former enemy die in front of his eyes, or whether he was happy to finally fulfill his promise to Su Wan at the beginning, I'm afraid only Xie An himself knew.

――At the same time, Jijing, the Lu family of Nangongfu --

Because of the irreparable wounds on his hands, Duke Lu had already relieved himself of his military position, entrusted the Southern Army to Xie An to take care of, and drank and fished with the old men who had retired from Liangqiu Gong and Yin Gong all day long, and his life was also nourishing.

No, it's okay to be idle, Lu Chengcheng planned to go out to the Donggong Mansion to drink with Liang Qiugong, but when he passed by the front hall, he was puzzled to see his daughter-in-law Su Wan, who was thinking about the family business in the hall, covering her heart, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was flushed.

"What's wrong with my son? - Could it be that you are sick? I told you not to work so hard...... "Since he deliberately wanted to accept his daughter-in-law Su Wan as a righteous daughter and let her marry Xie An, Lu Gong used this title.

"It's out of the way, maybe you're a little tired......"

Lu Gong stepped forward, looked at Su Wan carefully, and saw that she didn't look like she was sick, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you miss that kid?" ”
