Chapter 421: Liu Xuan is beheaded
Xiao Jiu is the only witness, and it is also the best evidence. Xiao Jiu has been living in the mansion recently, although his tongue was cut out and he couldn't speak, but Xue Rou taught him to recognize words, plus gestures. I could barely tell what he meant. But Xiao Jiu Zhizheng didn't need to speak and write at all, and took him to the silver mine, he was familiar with every production line, starting from digging silver, and he could make official silver by himself.
What does this mean? Anyone with a brain knows it. After Xiao Jiu did all this, he pointed to his throat with his finger, screamed hoarsely, and pointed at Liu Xuan again, his face full of hatred.
Under his comparison, everyone can actually understand it. Xue Rou brought him a pen and paper, and Xiao Jiu drew a person, as well as fire, and a tongue, as well as the official silver he had seen the longest.
The fire was set by the officials, and the tongue was cut by him, and the officials burned the place where the official silver was made. This painting was so obvious that the little emperor was furious when he saw it.
At this point, Liu Xuan's guilt was finally decided.
Privately making official silver, illegal mining, burning and killing miners, all of the sins he did were picked up.
The little emperor didn't want to see these things again, so he directly sentenced Liu to death. He is now in prison for the last days of his life.
After this incident, the silver mine was taken over by the royal family, which can be regarded as filling the treasury, which is a surprise.
The little emperor called Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng over, and said very happily, "I really didn't expect that Wang Tian would have such a thought, and he knew that he would hand over the 30,000 taels of stolen silver without moving." He told me that you came up with the idea. ”
Xue Rou smiled, "Wang Yuanwai is a good person, this time he lost the mountain and money, but Your Majesty has to reward him well." ”
The little emperor said, "I know. He has a son who took the exam with Gu Wen this year, but he fell off the list. Because what his father did well this time, I decided to give him a chance to become an official in the court. ”
Xue Rou praised, "Your Majesty has done this benevolent and righteous, Wang Yuanwai doesn't seem to like money so much at his age, and this credit can be overshadowed by future generations, I think he will be very happy." ”
The little emperor said, "This time you two have made a great contribution, what do you want?" I think about it, and maybe it will satisfy you. ”
Xue Rou sneered, "Your Majesty has learned to say such things now." Her hand clasped into Yuan Junfeng's palm, "Brother Yuan, what do you want?" ”
Yuan Junfeng shook his head, "There's nothing you want." He thought about it and smiled, "If Your Majesty really has that heart, it is better to be a witness for the two of us, and keep saying that you want to make a ceremony, but it has not been possible to go back and forth." ”
Xue Rou looked at him in surprise, Yuan Junfeng's eyes were full of starlight, with a smile, "Rou'er, what do you think?" ”
Xue Rou also smiled, "Okay." ”
The little emperor pouted, "I didn't say this, do you want anything else?" Say it quickly, while I haven't regained my mind yet. You have done such a big thing this time, and you must reward me well for picking out those greasy worms. ”
Xue Rou shook her head, "Your Majesty, Brother Yuan and I haven't done anything. If you really want to talk about merit, I'm afraid Gu Wen's merit will be even greater, why don't you give this reward to Gu Wen. ”
Yuan Junfeng also said, "Yes, Gu Wen has always been busy, and we don't dare to take credit." If His Majesty wants to be rewarded, the first merit is Gu Wen's. ”
The little emperor was helpless, looking at the eyes of the two people in front of him, he only knew that he was sweet and sweet, and he didn't seem to care about his promises and rewards at all, so he had to give up, follow the advice of Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng, and give the reward to Gu Wen.
Gu Wen was also in a trance when he called, and said that he didn't want any gold or silver, and the little emperor sighed, "I can't give away this good thing." ”
He had no choice but to promote Gu Wen to show encouragement.
Liu Xuan committed a capital crime and was about to be beheaded in public, but it was already decided, and he couldn't escape. The night before he was about to go on the road, Gu Wen brought good wine and food from the house to visit him.
He felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't have anything to do with Liu Xuan, but when he really talked about it, it had a little to do with it.
He is Liu's uncle, and Liu is Gu Wen's aunt, so Liu Xuan can even climb the name of an uncle. The Gu Mansion has fallen, and Liu Xuan is even a relative of Gu Wen who still has a little relationship in the world.
It's just that this relative is also going to fall.
Gu Wen sighed, and his heart was also very uncomfortable. He suddenly felt like a dead star, and he was really left alone.
Liu Xuan had a very bad time in prison, and he kept gritting his teeth against the wall at the beginning, very irritable, and kept saying that he was wronged. But when the dust settled, he knew that he was going to die, and his mood calmed down.
Seeing Gu Wen coming, he didn't have any expression, but said lightly, "Why are you here?" ”
Gu Wen put things on the ground, "Come and see you." Are you okay? ”
Liu Xuan sneered, "You're here to see my jokes?" Is this good or bad now? It's also in your thoughts. ”
He no longer had the same desire to get rid of his sin as before, as if he had really accepted his fate, became disheartened, and didn't care about anything anymore.
Gu Wen was not too dirty, and lifted his clothes to sit opposite him, "I used to be in prison, and at that time, Gu Cai personally sent me in, and it was such a dirty place, and I also stayed there." ”
Liu Xuan raised his eyes to look at him, and Gu Wen continued to say lightly, "People are like this, there is no way to empathize when you are not in this realm." I can only say that Gu Cai's family deserves it. As for you, didn't you think about the consequences when you did those things? ”
Liu Xuan sighed, "Human desire is like a bottomless pit that can never be filled. If my mind could remain clear, it wouldn't have come to this point. One wrong step, one wrong step. In this chess game, I lost after all. ”
He raised his eyes, "Gu Wen, you won." won Gu Cai and Gu Yuan, and also won me. ”
Gu Wen smiled, "Yes, I won." But I wasn't happy. This is no ordinary gamble, if I hadn't won today, I would have been guillotined. This thing is either you die or I die, you forced me, and I forced you, which can be regarded as a tie. ”
"I brought these meals and wine to you, how can you count it, you are also Liu's uncle, and Liu's can be regarded as my aunt. Just take it as a filial piety given to you by your juniors, eat and drink well before leaving, don't do this in the next life. ”
Liu Xuan laughed softly, as if mocking himself, "I can't be an official in my next life, and I won't be able to control my own hands when I become an official." It's better to be a common man. ”
He stood up and looked at Gu Wen, "You win, let me tell you a secret, I'm going to die anyway, and I can't take away this secret buried in my heart." ”
"What's the secret?"
"Your aunt, my niece, Liu Yun'er, was killed by me." He spoke slowly.
Gu Wen shuddered for a while, "Didn't she commit suicide because Gu Yuan was killed?" ”
Liu Xuan smiled mockingly, "That woman, don't stop until you reach your goal." His son himself died, and he came to threaten the old man, wanting me to die too, how could I do what he wanted, so I had to send him on his way. ”
"But that's your niece!"
Liu Xuan looked at him lightly, "Isn't Gu Cai your father again?" Gu Yuan is still your younger brother. ”
Gu Wen was speechless, the two were relatively speechless, and after all, Gu Wen retreated first, leaving the food and space to Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan drank alone, and tears suddenly fell while drinking. But no matter what, it can't change the situation of his death. The next day, Liu Xuan was guillotined, ending his life.
Gu Wen didn't go to see it, he made an appointment with Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng for dinner, which was regarded as a treat to thank the two of them, and made an appointment at his house.
Xue Rou changed into a dazzling green skirt, and walked over with Yuan Junfeng's hand, feeling refreshed on a happy occasion, these bad things for people are finally over.
Gu Wen had already put on the good wine and food, "Miss Xue, Brother Yuan, come and sit down." Today is also what you like to eat, I asked the kitchen to make it. ”
Xue Rou sniffed, "The chicken soup tastes so good, I can smell it from afar." Brother Yuan, sit down. ”
She took Yuan Junfeng's hand and sat next to Gu Wen by herself, adding a bowl of soup by herself.
Gu Wen raised his glass, "Miss Xue, before you drink the soup, let me toast you." ”
Xue Rou said, "Why do you drink every day? Why don't you drink soup? I'll give you a bowl too? ”
Gu Wen shook his head, "Today is a big day, and I definitely have to drink." He looked a little bitter and lonely, "The last person in the world who has a relationship with me was pushed to the guillotine by my own hands, and so far, the entire Gu family has come to an end." ”
Yuan Junfeng shook his head disapprovingly, "You didn't send them there, they went to the guillotine by their own death." ”
Gu Wen poured himself a glass of wine, "I have to wonder if I am with the Death Star, why do I have to die if anyone is affected by me?" But looking at what they did, I felt like I wasn't doing anything wrong. In the end, I was the only one who survived. Liu Xuan said that I won, I won everyone in the Gu family, and I also won him. ”
Gu Wen smiled bitterly, "But is the winner's situation to become a loner?" Why can't you get along well if it's black and white? The Gu family has fallen, I have no longer threatened, and the last Liu Xuan, who has a relationship with the Gu family, also died, but I always feel that it is not a taste in my heart. ”
Xue Rou knew that he was sad, and comforted him, "We have long said that your family is not only a Gu family, you can completely treat me and Brother Yuan as your family." ”
Yuan Junfeng said, "You and I know how many bad things the people of the Gu family have done, if you don't pull them off the horse, it will be you who will be beheaded today." How many times have they hurt you? You're soft-hearted. There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself, just straighten your chest and live well. ”
