Gu Changbo's murder of the queen and the two major cases of the greed and cruelty of the people by Pei Shilang and others came to an end, the exiled ones have already gone on the road, and the ones who have not entered the official slaves have begun to redeem and distribute, although the judgment does not have to wait for the autumn trial, after all, people's lives are at stake, it will be later than the first two, but it will be later than that day.

On the day of the execution, the sun was shining, and the place of execution was in the West Market.

There are too many people to cut this time, and it is expected that it will take two or three days to cut it off.

The first to kill Pei Shilang and these people were killed.

Xin Yu came to see the execution, and found that the execution ground was crowded with people watching the excitement, and there were even children running and laughing.

"Miss Kou."

Xin Yu turned around and couldn't help but smile: "Miss Zhu, you're here too." ”

It was Zhu Xiaoyue, the daughter of the squire of Taiping Town, who shouted at her.

As an important witness in this big ink corruption case, Zhu Xiaoyue and Wei Changqing, the son of the chief bookkeeper of Beiquan County, lived in the official residence after testifying publicly, which can be regarded as being protected, and this is the first time the two have seen each other since then.

Zhu Xiaoyue's expression was not unfamiliar, but extremely eager.

When revenge is avenged, all kinds of emotions that cannot be taken care of are released, including gratitude.

"It's great to meet Miss Kou, I still want to wait until I finish killing the head and come to the door to thank ......" Zhu Xiaoyue held Xin Yu's hand.

"Miss Zhu doesn't have to be so polite, when this kind of thing happens, no one will stand idly by."

"No—" Receiving Xin Yu's eyes, Zhu Xiaoyue didn't say any more.

This is really not the place to talk.

"Execution!"

With the order of the warden, the crowd rioted.

Xin Yu and Zhu Xiaoyue were coerced by others, not to mention seeing the wicked's heads fall to the ground, it would be good not to be squeezed out of their shoes.

"Miss Kou, let's go there!" Zhu Xiaoyue pulled Xin Yu out of the crowd and ran into the distance.

After stopping, she shook her head: "There are too many people, are people from all over the capital coming to see the excitement?" ”

Xin Yu curled her lips: "The people of the capital really love to watch the excitement. ”

There were bursts of exclamations, and many of the people who rushed forward were timid, and they were so frightened that they retreated again and again when they saw the scene of the human head falling to the ground, but the two of them saw the rolling human head through the gap at that moment.

Zhu Xiaoyue's expression became solemn, and she looked at the human wall in front of her three layers inside and three layers outside, and a line of tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.

"Father, mother, my daughter has avenged you, have you seen it?"

Xin Yu silently looked at the tearful girl and did not make a sound to disturb.

Whenever she looks at Zhu Xiaoyue, she seems to see another self.

The two stood for a long time, so long that some people who watched the excitement couldn't stand the bloody departure, and they were no longer crowded.

The blood flowed on the execution ground, like purgatory on earth, even the face of the prisoner who was accustomed to seeing the scene was like white paper, and the executioner's hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Xiaoyue's face was snow-white, and her head was bent over and she vomited wildly.

Xin Yu handed over a handkerchief.

Zhu Xiaoyue took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes and mouth, and apologized embarrassedly: "I'm really embarrassed to stain Miss Kou's eyes——"

Xin Yu took her hand and walked away: "I have seen what I should see, go back." ”

Zhu Xiaoyue nodded lightly.

Walking to the carriage parked on the side of the road, Xin Yu asked, "What are Miss Zhu's plans in the future?" Do you want to stay in the capital, or do you want to return to your hometown? ”

Zhu Xiaoyue smiled bitterly: "There is no one at home, so I won't go back." That Master He Yushi said he could help me find a job, I-"

She hesitated for a moment, met Xin Yu's clean gaze, and said something in her heart that she was embarrassed to say: "I see that Lord He is not very wealthy, and he is busy with errands, so I don't want to trouble him......"

Then there's the fact that she's a lonely young woman who doesn't want to get too close to a man who isn't related to her.

"Miss Kou, I don't know if your shop needs people-" Zhu Xiaoyue asked with a slight blush.

After staying in the capital for a while, she realized how famous the girl Kou who had taken her in was and how many shops she had.

"I can do anything, I can endure hardships-"

"What is Miss Zhu good at?"

"Good at?" Zhu Xiaoyue was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and told the truth, "I'm good at calculating accounts, and I am ......in charge of the accounts of the fields and shops at home."

"There are a lot of things in Qingsong Bookstore, and the shopkeeper is a little hard, Miss Zhu can go and help."

Zhu Xiaoyue was shocked: "I, can I?" ”

Since she learned to plan the plate, her father said that the account room is no better than others, and it is all used by her own family.

"Of course you can, Miss Zhu can do what she is good at, and she also helped me solve the trouble of finding a helper for Shopkeeper Hu, the best of both worlds."

"Miss Kou—" Zhu Xiaoyue muttered, and suddenly bowed to Xin Yu.

Xinyu pulled her up and asked her to sit in the carriage with her.

After entering the carriage, Zhu Xiaoyue's sense of security increased greatly, and she said softly: "Actually, the imperial court gave me a lot of compensation, and Lord He also helped me run a women's household." I'm worried that it's easy for people to covet a person's business, and I want to settle down in the capital for a few years before I see it. ”

Xin Yu understood that what Miss Zhu lacked at present was not money, but a shelter from the wind and rain.

While speaking, the Green Pine Bookstore arrived.

Seeing Xin Yu come in, Liu Zhou was extremely happy: "Boss, you haven't been to the store for a few days." ”

Shopkeeper Hu also hurried over to speak.

At this time, there were no guests in the study hall, so Xin Yu said directly: "Shopkeeper, Liu Zhou, do you still remember Miss Zhu?" ”

"I know, that case—" Liu Zhou said.

As soon as the case of disaster relief Qin Cha greedy for ink came out, this Zhu girl became famous as a witness.

Xin Yu took over: "Now that the case is over, Miss Zhu wants to find something to do." She is good at settling accounts, and I thought that the shopkeeper said a few days ago that she was looking for a helper, so I asked Miss Zhu to try it. ”

Shopkeeper Hu couldn't help but glance at Zhu Xiaoyue.

The bookkeeping helper he originally planned to look for from the bookstore, after all, he had to use a trustworthy one, and it seemed that the owner valued this Zhu girl very much.

Shopkeeper Hu immediately became more enthusiastic about Zhu Xiaoyue.

Mama Fang went to other shops to check the accounts, Xin Yu asked Xiaolian to arrange a place for Zhu Xiaoyue, and then went back to Shaoqing's mansion.

That night, she laid out all the clothes she was going to wear tomorrow and the things she was going to use, and counted them one by one.

Xiaolian saw it in her eyes and knew that "Mr. Songling" was going to appear tomorrow.

"Xiaolian, have you written down everything I said?"

Xiaolian nodded: "Write it down." ”

"That's good, I'll go out tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't come back soon, Wanqingju's side will depend on you to stabilize."

"Don't worry, girl, the maid will do it according to your arrangement." Xiaolian assured in her mouth, but her heart was uneasy.

This uneasiness is not due to distrust of Xinyu's arrangement, but to the fear of the unknown.

The girl disguised as a man is not to open a shop, not to negotiate business, but to deal with today!

To be honest, she didn't dare to think about it, and she couldn't sleep at all when she thought about it.
