Chapter 60: Beheading
Everyone in the hall withdrew from the court with their own concerns, and Yu Wenyue immediately came to Nangong Keqing's face, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you miss me?" ”
Nangong Keqing covered her lips and snickered, "Yes, I can't remember it if you think about it." As he spoke, he knocked Yu Wenyue on the head.
"No, it won't! Forgot about me so soon? Yu Wenyue pretended to be aggrieved and said.
Nangong Keqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've lost some weight, but I'm also a lot more mature." How about the journey? ”
"Sister still doesn't believe me? But it's a little accident, a gathering in Zuixianglou tonight? ”
"No, you give me a good go back and take a hot bath, and get a good night's sleep, you see you have dark circles under your eyes, and you're gathering tomorrow night." Nangong Keqing also wanted to talk to this younger brother about the thrills of this journey, but he had just come back, so he had to rest first.
"My sister still feels sorry for me!" Yu Wenyue said a little coquettishly.
"yes, yes! I feel sorry for you. Let's go back to sleep. Nangong Keqing ordered.
"No, I still have to go to my father's ......"
Nangong Keqing said: "Okay! See you tomorrow afternoon, let's go to the Dharma field together, and after watching the punishment, we will go to Zuixianglou together. ”
"Hmmm! That's it. ”
In the emperor's study, Yu Wenyue reported the results of the inspection in the past two months, and told in detail what happened on the way back, in fact, things are not so simple, on the way, there have been three waves of people and horses to attack and sneak attack, intercept prisoner cars, kill people and kill people, and their people have also suffered countless casualties, fortunately Yu Wenyue is witty, knowing that this road will not be too peaceful, he divided his troops into three ways, all the way to escort the dirty silver from the waterway, all the way to press the path of the prisoner in disguise, and Yu Wenyan escorted the prisoner in disguise to go on the official road.
To say that Yu Wenyue is young, but his mind is deep and strategic, if there is no such careful arrangement, I am afraid they will not be able to get to Kyoto.
Emperor Yuwen also thought that someone couldn't hold back......
Emperor Yuwen was extremely relieved that his Yue'er had grown up and could be on his own.
In the past few years, he has also been wronged, and he is always assassinated by his brother if he doesn't fight or rob, perhaps, it is in this environment that he has cultivated his calmness, strategy and courage.
On the side of King Rui's Mansion, Lord Xue and the others gathered together, and the scene was so depressed that they were about to suffocate, only to see that he was very angry, and his eyes were full of vicious light.
He never expected that the third brother, who had always been unknown, would be so scheming, and he would dismantle his Songzhou strength with his own strength, what a good plan.
"Good! It's been hidden deep enough in the past few years! Everywhere he shows no quarrel with the world, no scheming, it seems that this king is underestimating him. ”
"King Rui, the third prince usually never asks about political affairs, and he is not inconspicuous, how can he now disintegrate everything that our Songzhou has carefully arranged in just two months? That's the money we paid for! He served it all in one pot. Lord Xue was resentful.
"Do you still need to say it? How did you set it up? People go, are they not alert at all? Or did they not take it seriously at all? Stupid ......" Yu Wenyan closed his eyes and clenched his fists. All show his anger.
"Lord Wang, the minister has already sent a message to inform them...... It's the third prince who is too good at disguise, and we were all deceived by him. Lord Xue added fuel and vinegar to shirk his responsibility, for fear of getting him involved.
"A bunch of rice buckets ......," Yu Wenyan scolded.
Lord Xue, who was standing on the side, trembled, and kept wiping the big beads of sweat that came out of his forehead.
Yu Wenyan said in a deep voice: "What's going on over there in Da Shunguo?" ”
"Back to the prince, everything is ready, just wait for the news of the second prince ......"
"Hmmm! Don't let this king down again......" Yu Wenyan paused and said, "In prison...... I don't need to say what happened next! ”
Lord Xue was panicked, "Yes, Xia Guan knows what to do." ”
"Hmmm! Let's go down! Yu Wenyan said without a trace of warmth.
When Nangong Keqing came back from the palace, she received a letter from Chen Mutian's shopkeeper, who said that he had settled down in Changzhou, and that the business was very hot on the opening day of the shop, and he believed that the hot pot restaurant in Changzhou would be the largest restaurant in Changzhou.
In addition, the shopkeeper Chen is optimistic about a shop on the main street, the shop is very large, very suitable for the medical hall, two floors up and down, as long as the simple decoration is good, and the deposit has been paid, I hope that the young owner will send someone to take over the follow-up work as soon as possible.
Nangong Keqing was very happy to read the letter, put down the letter, and ran to the front hospital to find the shopkeeper Zhang and began to study it.
Nangong Keqing instructed the shopkeeper Zhang to transfer four doctors, ten apprentices, as well as Chinese patent medicines, Western medicines, etc., from the shop, and brought the carpenter Yang Jixiang and his team with them, and set off for Changzhou two days later, ready to start the renovation and opening of her second medical hall.
Shopkeeper Zhang was very happy, as if it were his own shop, he was very busy, and the Kyoto Sihe Medical Center handed over the loyalty he had cultivated, and this person was also a shrewd and stable person.
That night, Nangong Keqing was not idle, she kept taking medicine from the space, yawning while digging, her arms were sore, and finally she was so sleepy that she slept on the tatami mats, and the ground and bed were all piled up into mountains, and what was even more outrageous was that she was still taking medicine from the space in her sleep, and she was completely crazy.
Early the next morning, when the two maids came to wash her, Nangong Keqing couldn't be found in the house and bed, and finally turned Nangong Keqing out in a pile of medicines.
Afterwards, the two girls made fun of each other.
Of course, although the two maids were surprised, they didn't inquire about it, because they knew that their young lady would always find some reason to prevaricate in the past, and they knew that they had one or two experiences, and the young lady didn't want to say it, they were so well-behaved that they wouldn't ask again, in their eyes, their young lady was omnipotent, and their young lady was a fairy in the sky, and she conjured these medicines, as for how they came out, it is unknown.
It is rare for Nangong Keqing to sit leisurely at home and gossip with the two girls, and the three of them are eating fruit around the small square table, "Hey! Nangong Keqing suddenly sighed lightly, and Yu Ling asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"There's nothing to eat." Nangong Keqing flattened his mouth and said.
"What does the young lady want to eat, tell the slave maid, and the slave maid will do it." Yu Lingdao.
"If you want to eat a little snack, you won't do it."
Yu Ling wondered, was there anything she wouldn't do? "I won't do it, slave and maid go and learn."
"Don't worry, there will be this day, when the time comes, I will write a few small snack making methods, you can learn to teach a few reliable apprentices, maybe I can also consider opening a teahouse, making snacks, snacks or something." Nangong Keqing said, the plan was already in mind.
"Miss, it's time for us to go, the time has come to see the corrupt officials beheaded." Yuhe was very excited.
Nangong Keqing laughed teasingly: "Our family's rain lotus taste is really heavy!" Aren't you afraid? It's bloody. ”
"It's very pleasant to see a corrupt official beheaded, which ordinary person doesn't go to join in the fun?" Yuhe said.
"Alright! Walk. ”
The city of Kyoto was in turmoil, and there were occasional people running to tell each other, and it was only at this time that everyone learned from the government's notice of peace that something had happened yesterday.
"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”
A loud gong sounded, and an errand officer shouted loudly: "The emperor has an order to escort the prisoners through the streets!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the messenger escorting four prisoners out, led by Master Ma, the governor of Songzhou, who was wearing iron shackles on their heads and shackles on their feet, and was locked in two prisoner cars, languishing.
At this time, a large number of Songzhou people had gathered on both sides of the streets of Kyoto, and the people were in high spirits, and they kept taking out rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves from the vegetable baskets they were carrying and throwing them on the faces and bodies of the prisoners, so as to vent their bad breath for themselves.
And the prisoners in the prison car could only silently endure the embarrassment, and they couldn't raise their heads to face the jealous and hateful people of Songzhou.
"Master Ma, you are the one who hurt us......" Guo Junshou couldn't tolerate such an insult, and said angrily with rotten eggs on his face.
Master Ma has always remained silent, the matter has come to this point, he only hopes that Lord Xue can take good care of his family after his death according to the agreement, and he will not bear everything in vain.
On the night of being imprisoned, Lord Xue disguised himself into the prison of Dali Temple, threatening the lives of his family, and let him bear all the charges together, so that he could protect his family.
"The hour has come, and the execution will be carried out." One by one, the heads were taken under the guillotine......
"The emperor spares his life! The emperor spared his life...... "Several county guards, except for Ma Zhizhou, were all frightened and cried and begged for mercy, and the ground was a smell of urine.
"Corrupt officials, they are embarrassed to beg for mercy, and it is not a pity to die."
"Harmful ...... Deserve! ”
"Big corrupt officials, scum ......"
Everyone was talking, filled with righteous indignation, and couldn't wait for the moment when the guillotine fell to the ground......
"Poof...... four heads were chopped off to the ground and rolled to the side.
For a while, the people cheered non-stop......
Kyoto soon returned to its usual bustle, as if nothing had happened.
After this incident passed, Yu Wenyue asked the emperor to rectify Songzhou, and it was necessary to build Songzhou, strengthen Songzhou's economic construction, and expand the scope of trade.
And the best candidates for the emperor are Yu Wenyue and Nangong Keqing, because the emperor knows that Nangong Keqing can do it, after all, the problem of medical treatment over there is very serious, so it is suitable for her to go.
Nangong Keqing did not postpone it, and arranged for Wang Jiang of the hot pot restaurant, Qin Qing, the deputy shopkeeper of the medical hall, and Qin Qing of the Nishang shop to rush to Songzhou to inspect and prepare branches in various county capitals. As a result, there will be at least three or four branches in Songzhou alone.
Nangong Keqing's career is also progressing in an orderly and gradual manner.
