Under Wen Qiyu's tireless reminder, Xie Yu suddenly realized.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace has calmed down to the point of coldness, and in her eyes there is only right and wrong and results, and the rest of the things are no longer very important.

Therefore, after pondering the doorway, Xie Yu almost did not hesitate, stayed up for two nights, and finally drafted ninety-eight verdicts within the time specified by Qi Changrong.

and presented it to the prince of the East Palace, wanting to let her look at it one by one.

However, Qi Changrong didn't reach out to pick it up, he only looked at Xie Yu with a smile: "City Lord Xie, don't forget, Lone is just passing by Tancheng temporarily, and you, as the city lord of Tancheng, should decide this matter." ”

The implication is that she is reluctant to intervene.

After all, for Qi Changrong, if Xie Yu didn't even have the ability to handle this little thing well, he was really not suitable to stay in this position.

In a high position, the more responsibility you have on your shoulders, and once the ability is not proportional to the responsibility, it will be a tragedy.

Hearing the displeasure in Qi Changrong's words, Xie Yu's face tightened, and the solemn color between his eyebrows suddenly appeared.

Seeing him behave like this, Qi Changrong let out a long sigh of relief: "...... City Lord Xie does not have to be restrained everywhere because of the existence of Lone, and after the sentencing day, it is estimated that he will leave Tancheng and continue to go south. ”

After getting such an answer, Xie Yu's expression could no longer be described as bitter.

Holding a large stack of verdicts, he left the small courtyard with his head down rather dejectedly, and happened to collide with the oncoming Wen Qiyu.

"Thank you, City Lord."

"Lord Wen."

The two who are not very familiar with each other say hello to each other.

At this time, when he saw Xie Yu's dark circles, Wen Qiyu's eyes fell on the stack of things he was holding in his hand, and he said clearly: "Thank you for your hard work in the past two days, thank you City Lord." ”

This is said with great emotion.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a person who pays attention to efficiency, never wastes time on idle matters, and what can be done in one day will never be delayed until the next day.

Yes, how strict she is with herself, how strict she is with others.

Qi Changrong's request for Xie Yu's 'two days' was really the result of squeezing him to the extreme.

"It's my negligence, this time has been too much of a daze that shouldn't be soft and merciful, Your Highness is right, some things can't change the result by delay."

As he spoke, Xie Yu closed his eyes, and his lips turned slightly pale.

Almost instantly, a bloody light appeared in front of his eyes.

At that time, when the murder occurred, he personally went to the field to investigate.

The bruises on the little girl's neck, and the desperate roars of the people trapped in the fire at the landlord's house......

and the black-and-gray ruins that smoked from the fire......

The corpses found inside have long been unable to see their original appearance, and have been completely carbonized.

All of this was like one boulder after another, pressing on his heart one after another, making his face flush, but still breathless.

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Yu's eyes were as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and the depths were as dark as ink, and there was no trace of compassion.

Wen Qiyu was taken aback by Xie Yu's appearance, but quickly guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but take two steps back, bowing his waist slightly and arching his hand towards him: "City Lord, something has happened, no matter how much sighing and emotion there is, it is useless, please rest easy." ”

"My heart is wide." Xie Yu froze and looked at Wen Qiyu again, his tone was more gentle than usual: "I have decided, in order to redeem this mistake, and always remind myself to uphold the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty fairly, this time the beheading will be personally supervised by me." ”

Ninety-eight human lives will eventually turn to dust and never exist again, and as for the so-called right and wrong, the world will judge.

Wen Qiyu was slightly surprised, but she didn't feel incredulous.

After all, being able to be the lord of a city means that Xie Yu does have a brush, but it may be that the comfort of the past two years has smoothed out his edges and corners, and it is because he has become so indecisive as he is now.

Thinking about it, Wen Qiyu was about to cheat with the person in front of him.

After a while, he remembered something again, suddenly changed the topic stiffly, and said to Xie Yu:

"Lord of the City, if the shopkeeper of the Liu family in Tancheng comes to the City Lord's Mansion and asks the City Lord to introduce them to the Jun family, the City Lord can only agree and inform them that as long as they donate half of the family property, under the premise of not being a traitor and violating the laws of the Great Jin, the Jun Gate will protect the Liu family."

After finishing speaking, Wen Qiyu paused, and reminded emphatically: "This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant. ”

What does the prince of the East Palace mean?

Xie Yu immediately became serious, and nodded solemnly at Wen Qiyu: "I will definitely do a good job in this matter and not disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Wen Qiyu seemed to let go of a major matter on her mind, and the whole person was a little lighter.

According to His Royal Highness the Prince, although the shopkeeper did not come to the door in the past two days, he was obviously planning carefully at home, and after calculating again, it is estimated that it will be a matter of these two days.

……

Tancheng was very noisy for a while.

Because in three days, which had not been used for a whole year, the vegetable market specially used for executions had their heads cut off the heads of 98 people.

Moreover, the supervisor is still the city lord of Tancheng, Xie Yu.

Bright red blood almost stained the sky red.

In those three days, almost all the people of Tancheng walked around the entrance of the vegetable market, and they didn't even dare to take a second look.

Even if someone from the yamen has specially washed it, it seems that the residual blood can still be seen in the gap of the bluestone slab.

Almost on the day of the execution, the crimes committed by these people were clearly reported on the board.

For a time, everyone in Tancheng was in danger.

I'm afraid that there are such irrational people around, for fear that I will be involved.

Fortunately, although the ninety-eight lives caused a panic in Tancheng, this panic is still under control, and it is believed that it will not take long to subside.

Qi Changrong is also as she said before, once the dust settles, she will continue to go south.

So, when the wind was raging in Tancheng, she had boarded the cruise ship leisurely and continued to travel along the wide river.

Two days later, just when Xie Yu finally freed his hand and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground safely, the shopkeeper Liu, who had been specially instructed by Wen Qiyu, came to the door hesitantly.

After hearing the porter say that the person who came to visit was surnamed Liu, Xie Yu invited the person in.

I always thought that the city lord would be difficult to visit: "......"

Recalling that in the past, whether it was during the New Year's festival or on his birthday, he had bothered to send congratulatory gifts, but this city lord's mansion had never been used.

Why didn't you ask a word today, and let him in so easily?

Seeing Xie Yu, the city lord of Tancheng, the fat belly of the shopkeeper Liu trembled, and he knelt on the ground in fear and saluted: "The grass people have seen the city lord." ”

"You're the shopkeeper?"

Hearing Xie Yu's inquiry, Shopkeeper Liu said cautiously: "If there is only one shopkeeper surnamed Liu in Tancheng, then the 'Shopkeeper Liu' in the mouth of the city lord should be the grass people." ”

But there is also the possibility that it is not, he does not dare to speak too much, otherwise it will be too easy to offend people.

But it was his uncertain tone, which immediately made Xie Yu understand that the shopkeeper Liu in front of him was the shopkeeper Liu who the prince of the East Palace had specially ordered to take special care.

Xie Yu calmed down, his tone of voice was two points lighter, and he became casual: "I don't know what the shopkeeper Liu is talking about when he comes to the door?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu knelt on the ground and said with sincere fear: "The grass people do have something to ask for this time, although the grass people know that this move is very offensive, but I hope that the city lord can listen to the grass people's words." ”

He didn't intend to interrupt his Xie Yu at all: "...... Shopkeeper Liu, please say. ”

When the words landed, Shopkeeper Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the city lord would think he was talking too much, and when he didn't have time to listen to him explain the ins and outs of the matter, he would impatiently interrupt him, and then blast him out of the city lord's mansion, and never allow him to take half a step in the future.

After getting the right words, Shopkeeper Liu tried to repeat the matter from beginning to end as concisely and clearly as possible.

In the end, he said: "The grass people know that the city lord has a good relationship with the Sheng Shijun Gate, so he specially asked to come to the door this time, and asked the city lord to be accommodating for the sake of the little girl's loneliness." ”

"Lonely?" Xie Yu couldn't quite understand the meaning of these four words for a while: "Doesn't Miss Liu still have such a father as Shopkeeper Liu to take care of?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the city lord, the grass people are seriously ill, and after many doctors' consultations, the results are not satisfactory, I'm afraid that time is running out, and there is no way to take care of Yingxue for a long time, so the grass people will be anxious to find another way out for Yingxue." ”

If he really couldn't find a more suitable way, he would never blatantly ask for the head of the City Lord's Mansion.

After all, once the matter is broken, he can't guess how the official family will react.

Xie Yu was silent for a while: "What is the plan of the shopkeeper Liu?" ”

"The grass people are willing to donate two-thirds of their family property, and turn it into food and materials for the soldiers of the Junmen, and transport them to Lincheng in batches in the shortest possible time, as a reward, just ask the Junmen to prepare a place for the little girl to live and live, so that she will be safe for the rest of her life."

"What Shopkeeper Liu asks for is not difficult." Because he couldn't reveal the true identities of the two big men who temporarily lived in the City Lord's Mansion some time ago, Xie Yu deliberately pondered before he said: "It just so happens that this official has a friend from the Junmen who is resting in the mansion, and the official will send someone to ask him what he means, and then reply back to the shopkeeper Liu." ”

Shopkeeper Liu was overjoyed, and he almost shed tears with excitement, and hurriedly said: "This is nature, the city lord is willing to help, and it is the grass people who are fortunate to have three lives." ”

Seeing that he looked like he was about to faint with excitement, Xie Yu was a little worried that he would get sick on the spot, and he considered and persuaded: "Shopkeeper Liu doesn't have to be like this, the official is just passing the word on his behalf, as for whether it can be ......."
