The Young Emperor and the Fearless

The heads of Chang and Zhang were beheaded, and Zhang Daiqing immediately took their bodies away.He prepared two coffins in advance, put the people in them, and asked the servants to set off directly and carry them to Nudi City.

I don't know if Zhang Daiqing was too sad, and he hurried on the road without saying goodbye to Liang Bo.

When he was about to leave Donghe Town, Liang Bojin rushed over, stopped him, and handed him the official document punishing ten thousand taels of gold.

Zhang Daiqing snorted coldly, stuffed the official document into his arms, cupped his hands and said: "After half a month, I will send someone to Liang Daren's mansion."

Zhang Daiqing was angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it to Liang Bojin. After Liang Bojin turned and left, his eyes were full of hatred.

After staying for less than a day, He Li was about to leave.

But before leaving, he went to Wang Zhiyuan's home.

Wang Zhiyuan's mother's condition has improved a lot. Although her brows are furrowed, she is actively working.The whole family of them had been to the execution ground, and seeing the real culprit laying down the law, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Fu asked Wang Zhiyuan's mother: "Can you receive the money sent by the government office?"

She nodded.

Zhou Fu said again: "The money will allow you to live a comfortable life in the future, your family..."

She raised her head, her eyes were red, and interrupted: "My lord, no matter how much money I have, my Zhiyuan will never come back."

Zhou Fu sighed, and swallowed the comforting words from his mouth.

Human life is not measured by money. In some people's hearts, it is priceless.

Donghe Town is very lively today, people get together and talk about the case of missing children.

In the past two days, there has been such a big commotion in Donghe Town, almost everyone knows it.But some people don't know the cause and effect, can't hide their curiosity, and ask everyone they meet.

When He Li and his party passed by on the street, they were pulled over and asked about it.

After the seventeenth general asked him to leave, Zhou Fu said, "Do you want the carriage to come and pick you up?"

The carriage stopped at the gate of the government office, and there was not much to walk there.

He Li said, "No need."

Walking on the streets of this unbiased town, you can feel the various states of the world.This is something that cannot be seen in the palace, and He Li feels extremely comfortable.

Suddenly, Yuan Zhimi pointed to a person and said, "Look at that person in the corner."

Driven by his words, several people looked over together.

Where he pointed, there was a young woman wearing a calico shirt, holding a huge box in her hand, staring at them fiercely.

Looking at each other, the woman looked away abruptly, slid to sit in the corner, lowered her head, her hair covered her face, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Zhou Fu said: "Lord Yuan, you are just an ordinary woman, have you taken a fancy to her?"

Yuan Zhimi said: "Although a woman looks ordinary, she has a personality. Not bad..."

The two of them were joking with each other, but Heli pointed out the problem and said: "That woman seems to have a prejudice against us, but we have never seen her before, how could there be any grudges?"

Yuan Zhimi said: "Don't worry about it, there are so many strange things in this world, fish and dragons are mixed together. Even for strangers, a look, a demeanor, can give birth to affection, and can also give birth to hatred. It's not surprising that this woman is like this .”

He Li took a closer look at the woman again, she looked very embarrassed, there were countless patches on the calico shirt, and the exposed arms were very thin, as if there was only a skin and bone left.The hair is also tied casually, not as particular as other women.She hugged the box tightly, as if holding a cherished treasure.

The woman's shoulders shrugged, as if crying.

Could it be that something sad happened to her?

"Master Li, let's go." Zhou Fu urged.

He Li looked away, and was pulled by Yuan Zhimi again, almost tripping.

Seventeen was behind the three of them, took a step, stopped, and followed them silently.

Due to the release of the list, Nudi City was very lively.But also because of this, some families are happy and some are sad.Those who are happy are those who are on the list, and those who are sad are those who are not.

Few of the people gathered at the place where the list was released paid attention to it. Next to the list of dragons and tigers, there was a notice posted - Manxianglou gathered a large number of heroes from all walks of life, and an auction will be held tomorrow.

The specific items to be auctioned were not announced, and the notice only notified those with financial means to come and buy a lot.

Speaking of Manxianglou, it is the largest restaurant in Nudi City. It provides delicious wine and food, and the price is not cheap, but it is still full of guests and there is an endless stream of people, many of whom are dignitaries.

Occasionally, Manxianglou is taken over by wealthy businessmen and holds auctions.However, because Nudi City is not as good as the capital city, it is more difficult to convene people and precious objects.If it is a well-known person who posts widely, it can also attract many people who come here admiringly.

This time the auction was initiated by an anonymous wealthy businessman who did not disclose his name, but the object he planned to use as the finale was a rare treasure in the world - Biexiang.

Biexiang, as the name suggests, is a spice. Its name is weird, and what is even more incredible is its efficacy in rumors—this spice has a special aroma, with a bitter smell in it. It is this weird bitterness that can delay aging. After smelling it for a long time, it can resist all kinds of diseases.Therefore, Biexiang is also a kind of precious medicinal material, which can be used as medicine.

Maybe this special fragrance is not very attractive to young people, but the elderly and frail people are flocking to it.

At this moment, Manxiang upstairs is full of people, and a small stage has been set up on the first floor, and a troupe is singing on it.

Juxie was beside the platform on the second floor, with two stacks of peanuts and a pot of tea in front of her.I only took a sip of the tea in the teacup, but it was already cold.

Opposite Juxie, there was a man sitting, staring sideways at the actor downstairs, as if he was listening to the opera very seriously, but when he looked carefully, there were tears on the man's cheeks, he had just cried.

Ju Xie waited for him to stop, and slowly said: "I don't know your last name, how do you call it?"

The man was dressed in rags, and it could be said that he was disheveled, but Juxie asked the question formally, which made him a little ashamed.He wiped his cheeks clean and said, "It's Xia Luli."

Ju Xie said, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Li hurriedly said, "I can't bear the word "Young Master," so you can just call me by my first name."

Ju Xie said, "Are you working for the Chang family?"

Lu Li said: "Yes. There is an old mother in the family who is seriously ill and can't get out of bed. I need to earn some money to treat my mother. I have been working in Chang's family for four years."

An hour ago, Ju Xie met Lu Li on the street and saw him in a trance, as if he had been hit hard.Originally, Ju Xie had no intention of chatting with him, but Lu Li grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, so he led him to Manxianglou.

Counting, Ju Xie and him have met three times, this Nudi City is not too small, and being able to meet him continuously is also considered fate.

Lu Li followed Ju Xie without saying a word, and after sitting down, he turned his head to one side and cried silently.Ju Xie didn't bother, pretending not to notice, listening to the play quietly.

In fact, Juxie is not a sympathetic person, he can meet Lu Li face to face, just to pass the time, casually, and listen to other people's troubles.

But he didn't ask, but Lu Li didn't hold back. He was eager to talk, and said one by one: "I made you laugh. I took part in the provincial examination last month. I thought I was determined to win, but after the results were released today, I realized that I failed again. Suddenly Hard to control."

Ju Xie didn't see that he was a scholar, so she was a little surprised, but after a closer look, Lu Li still had the charm of a scholar.Although his clothes are torn, they are well-groomed, his body is thin, and he looks refined.

Lu Li said again: "I have imagined that as long as I can pass the exam, I will not only have money to treat my mother's illness, but also give her three meals a day, enough food and clothing. spend more time with my mother..."

Unfortunately, this ideal was once again shattered.

Ju Xie's eyes were lazy, she fell on a blurred point in the distance, and said casually: "The rural examination is held every three years, there will be a chance."

Lu Li lowered his eyes, and his eyes were watery again, but he blinked hard and forcibly held back.

On the road of life, if you stumble, you have to get up and keep going.

On this day, Lu Li indulged himself and drank the high-quality tea that he had never drunk before, and he actually felt drunk.His eyes were empty, and he fell on the guests downstairs, on Xiao Er, and then back on the actor.

Drinking tea and eating peanuts while listening to the opera, such a good thing that rich and noble people enjoy, he just picked it up, and he is really ashamed of himself if he doesn't enjoy it.
