Thinking of Chen Kun's memories of old events, his heart darkened, and he admired Wu Zonglun a little. This former Tanhua was obviously not as ignorant of current affairs as he appeared on the surface. The previous impostors showed that he was brave and resourceful. The situation is also understood.

"It's a pity that Wu Tanhua was also on His Highness Yan's side when the incident happened. Our family still remembers the plans given by Hu Ge as if they were guided by an expert. Now the world is peaceful, and even pirates can be banned. Xiaoyaohou, why is Wu Tanhua willing to spend his whole life as a fisherman in a poor country? Wu Zonglun, I am a talented person in the Dulian, and I am willing to guarantee you to be a third-rank commander. When the time comes, you will also be on business in Beijing. Wouldn't it be beautiful to live in double dwellings?"

Wu Zonglun lowered his head when he heard that there was a door, but his tone was very firm: "Thank you for the kindness of Dugong, Zonglun's heart is no longer in the court, and he would rather be a fisherman for the rest of his life."

Liu Hai hurriedly knelt down too.He looked at Chen Kun eagerly. Although he didn't speak, the information in his eyes was consistent.He doesn't want to be a prince either.

Chen Kun turned sideways to avoid Liu Hai's kneeling, looked at Wu Zonglun and then at Liu Hai, and was stunned for a moment: "Okay, okay, you two, one of you will be a woodcutter if you don't want to be a prince, and the other will be a grassroots man if you don't want to be an official." , It's really rare in ancient and modern times! What's wrong with being a prince? Does it offend you if you become an official? I really don't know good and bad, and don't know current affairs! I'm so stupid!"

His tone was extremely heavy, which was a precursor to anger. Liu Hai was frightened when he heard it, and secretly glanced at Wu Zonglun. Seeing that his face was calm, he only lowered his head in agreement, and his heart calmed down.

He thought to himself, no matter how angry this senior official was, how he dealt with it, he and Brother Wu would never be separated.Feeling Liu Hai's burning gaze, Wu Zonglun also stretched out his big hand to hold his. The two have experienced life and death several times, and they have long been connected with each other. Enjoy a moment of sweetness in your sorrow.

Chen Kun vented a few words, and saw that the shoulders of the two men were tightly pressed together, and their hands were tightly held together. Although they were kneeling on the ground as if they were at your mercy, their faces were fearless.Stimulated by the situation in front of him and the past, he didn't know whether it was envy or jealousy or other emotions, but he was really angry: "Wu Zonglun, do you really want to kidnap the prince?!"

"Grassmen dare not."

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu doesn't want to go to Beijing, and you don't want to be an official now. Will there be a day when you regret it?"

"No regrets."

"Are you willing to dedicate your life to His Highness the King of Chu?"

Wu Zonglun glanced at him, forgiving him no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was a little arrogant: "Caomin has only Liu Hai in his eyes and hearts in his life."

"In this case, Wu Zonglun accepts the order." Chen Kun looked at the blushing bangs, and there was warmth in his eyes.He coughed, and slowly said a passage he had memorized for a long time:

"The late emperor ordered that although the prince Chu is my own flesh and blood, I don't like the fact that his mother is guilty of the crime. I ordered two generals Liu Kaiwei and Wu Yanzu to be escorted to Tianya Haige in the South China Sea to be raised on his behalf. Unexpectedly, the two turned against each other, and the prince Chu also With the two of them missing. I will not live forever now, and I will not suffer from the separation of flesh and blood and the confusion of royal blood. I will look for the prince Chu and his descendants from the day when the previous governors of Dongchang took over. Prince Chu will never return to the capital, and those who violate it will be shot to death."

Although his words were clear and his voice was soft and sweet, what he said was half-baked. Liu Hai only understood the last sentence, "Do not enter Beijing, let alone be killed." He thought to himself, how could I enter Beijing?Is it possible that this high official is going to tie me to the capital and kill me?

He looked at Wu Zonglun worriedly, seeing the uncontrollable excitement on his face, fearing that he would cause trouble impulsively, he hurriedly said in a low voice: "Brother Wu? What did he say? But he wants to kill my head? Don't be impulsive, you Remember to take care of your mother and children!"

Wu Zonglun didn't care about answering, his voice was trembling: "Caomin accepts the order. Caomin is willing to raise the prince Chu on behalf of the governor. He will definitely do his best and live up to the grace of heaven."

Chen Kun curled his lips: "What do grass people look like? You are both acting as the governor and the same year as the governor. From now on, you don't need to be more polite. Get up! But from now on, all of you from the Wu family must be careful in your conduct, and don't act recklessly like you So what if the younger sister is executed? It’s just that the prince Chu always has someone to wait on him, and the Wu family is related to you, so the governor just lenients the net.”

Wu Zonglun tried his best to suppress his smile, and kowtowed sincerely: "Thank you Dugong for your kindness to the Wu family and Zonglun in rebuilding."

Only then did Liu Hai realize that he is going to let us go?He wanted to kneel down in a hurry, but was helped up by Chen Kun: "I don't dare. From now on, Wu Zonglun is here to serve His Highness, and is also His Highness's slave. You don't have to be polite to him, Your Highness."

Although Liu Hai was confused, he didn't dare to refute, for fear that this person would change his mind when he got angry, so he nodded quickly: "Okay!"

Chen Kun turned his head to look at Wu Zonglun, his words intentionally humiliated, and reduced a dignified Tanhua Lang to a slave. He looked at Liu Hai, but he was full of pampering, without any dissatisfaction. He couldn't help sighing in his heart, and finally let go of his hand, facing Liu Hai Tilting the robe and bowing down: "Back then, I received the kindness of the late emperor, and I could not repay it. Now, by luck, I finally found the prince Chu, which can comfort the spirit of the late emperor. Just now, I dared to test His Highness. If you commit the following crimes, you deserve to die. I beseech the Highness to descend on you.”

Of course Wu Zonglun knew that he was acting for himself. He looked at Chen Kun's behavior a little funnyly, and said softly: "You don't have to be like this, the late emperor is also kind to Zonglun. From now on, he must do his best to serve the prince Chu, and never Dare to be negligent."

Liu Hai was just in a daze. The two escaped another catastrophe. Although Wu Zonglun roughly explained why Chen Kun let him go, he still didn't know why Chen Kun let him go, but since the result was very happy, he wisely didn't ask. He is just an illiterate woodcutter, but he also intuitively knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The senior official ordered Brother Ang in front of him, and then asked someone to send the two of them back to the big ship in person.

Liu Hai saw that Guihai Yidao had not spoken a word until the two were about to board the boat to bid farewell, and had no intention of boarding the boat together, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and asked him why he didn't go back to Clamshell Village with him, Hu Ge How can I explain it there?

Gui Hai Yidao heard the word "Hu Ge", and a small crack appeared on his usually calm mask: "There is no Xu Changqing in the world, and naturally there is no need for Sedum. Please tell the old man, the mountains are high and the waters are long, in this life... Don't read it."

The Wu family and the family members also knelt down on the bank with the factory supervisor's guard of honor. Wu Zonglun helped Wu, seeing her look haggard, knowing that she had suffered a lot because of her sister's affairs, he also showed a look of intolerance. Wu sent his Seeing it in her eyes, she said in a trembling voice: "Our family's Shishi...you have to take good care of her, you are just such a younger sister, she has never suffered since she was a child, and she didn't understand the rules when she entered the palace, and contradicted the nobleman... ..."

Wu Zonglun knew that she hadn't got rid of her heart knot after all, and was afraid that she would talk bad things, so he interrupted: "Since Dugong Chen has said it's okay, it is naturally okay. My sister is a person who entered the palace, and now she has guarded the tomb for the late emperor. , merits and demerits equalize, from now on, mother must remember not to mention her again."

"Yes, Zong Lun is right." Wu hurriedly wiped away her tears, and handed a thin woman beside her to Wu Zonglun: "Shi, that Bing Bing, you have to serve the prince well. Poor thing about that clam shell village. Dirty and messy, not even a decent house, it's hard for my son... woo woo..."

That woman was Wu Shishi. When she saw her mother being so sad, she couldn't bear it, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Old lady, don't worry about these things, Bingbing will save you. Besides, if it's messy, the world is still Is there any place more messy than the imperial palace? Didn’t you rush to send your own daughter in back then? Now that she’s even gone back and forth to the imperial palace, it’s nothing to be afraid of even going to the palace.”

Wu Shi was choked by these words for a long time, unable to speak, and looked at her son and daughter with guilt and resentment, and there was a... daughter-in-law?

Seeing the backs of the three standing side by side at the bow of the boat gradually receding.Thinking of the one who was born in Tanhua but fell in love with a little woodcutter with all his heart, and lost all fame and fortune.The other is that she usually has a soft, waxy and peaceful temperament. Who would have thought that she would dare to be spoiled and arrogant after entering the palace, and almost cost her life.In short, there are only two children in my life, both of whom had a bright future, and watched helplessly, a turnaround, an upheaval, and a huge change that fell from the sky to the earth, and I was so angry that I fainted.

When she woke up again, she realized that she had been carried to a dilapidated house by members of the Wu clan.Angrily, she went to the patriarch to argue, but she was robbed, saying that although her branch was a big family, but because Wu Zonglun and Wu Shishi were both guilty of the royal family, they were both expelled from the Wu family tree, and she Due to improper discipline, the mansion was confiscated, and the patriarch saw that she still wanted to argue, so he threatened to lock her in the ancestral hall to think about her mistakes.Wu Shi has always been domineering, how could she ever be bullied face to face like this, she couldn't care about her face for a while, and jumped up and cursed.Seeing that she was scolding badly, the patriarch winked and told several young clansmen to tie her up firmly, and then accused her of being insane, and threw her in a small black room next to the ancestral hall, where she was locked up for three full days.

On the fourth night, Wu Shi, who was starving and freezing, only felt that she was going to return to Lihen, but was rescued by a tall man who pushed open the door of the room. A strange man with a high nose and deep eyes.

The man was very young, but he was dignified. He was followed by more than a dozen officials, and he rescued Mrs. Wu with all his might, and called Mrs. Wu respectfully.
