Chapter 9 Rose

At this time, Xue Chongxun said: You have no chance today, so why not put down the thing that is like a crossbow and wait for the capture, so that I may be able to save your life for the sake of the life of the City God Temple that day.

Bai Wuchang pondered: You have the final say whether you are dead or alive. Oh, it is not a pleasant thing to control your destiny in the hands of others...

Xue Chongxun looked at Bai Wuchang and the women around her, and suddenly felt that Bai Wuchang looked like a newly picked grape, while other women were like raisins...

It turns out that women still need to be young and beautiful enough to look good.

He didn't have much murderous intentions in his heart, so he started joking: I really can't bear to kill you, so I'll catch you and play slowly...

Bai Wuchang pretended to be angry and said: You are so bad, a weak woman will be killed by you sooner or later.

His voice was so coquettish, like a little girl acting cute.

She thought about it and said: You must be interested in knowing who instructed me in the last assassination?

Xue Chongxun nodded and said: If you say it, you will have a greater chance of survival.

I'll give you clues, let me go.Bai Wuchang's expression was gloomy and sunny, sometimes he had a turtle look.

Xue Chongxun sneered: You don’t understand your situation yet?Now you are not qualified to talk to me about conditions. I arrest you at the order and torture you forcibly, and the result is the same.Are you sure you can withstand various means of punishment?

A flash of fireflies flashed in Bai Wuchang's eyes, as if tears were circling in his eyes. I don't know whether it was true or not. She said politely: It's all because of women's soft-heartedness. Last time I was moved by you, but for a moment I let you go, and I almost couldn't explain it when I went back.If I reveal the clues about my employer to you and if someone knows it, my reputation will be completely ruined. Whoever dares to send me a job in the future will be starved to death.

At this moment, Liu An outside the tent shouted: I have something important to discuss with Xue Lang, and ask Xue Lang to meet him.

Come in and speak.Xue Chongxun responded.

After a while, Liu An and Governor Lu entered the tent together.Governor Lu pointed to Bai Wuchang and said: It’s her.

Liu An said to the other women: You are not working for you here, go down.

The women looked at each other, and a brave one moved outward, and the others followed her out.

At this time, Liu An said: Xue Lang, this girl is from the prince’s side. She got to Governor Lu tonight and stole his account book. This account book is very important.

Bai Wuchang sneered: Do you think I will put it on my body after I get it?

Liu An said: Ask Xue Lang to order this person to be taken down and ask where the account book is.

What account book is very important?Xue Chongxun asked while guessing, and had already guessed a rough idea in his mind.

The expression on Liu An's face became a little embarrassed, and he pondered for a moment before saying: In order to evade the chore of the government's summons and taxes to Beijing, many wealthy families would bribe local officials through some channels, but local officials would be afraid of being investigated by the superiors, so they would hand over most of the proceeds... That account book is the record of the Ruzhou governor accepting bribes from wealthy families in prefectures and counties.

Xue Chongxun glanced at Bai Wuchang and smiled and said: I'm still wondering, why are you here to do, I don't think it's for this.It turns out that you not only kill people, but also do theft?

Is there any difference?It's all for the sake of livelihood.Bai Wuchang Dao.

Xue Chongxun's expression changed and he turned his head and said seriously: Liu An Ah, General you sent you down to fully rectify Hecao. He trusts you. Wouldn't you let down the court's high expectations for you like this?No wonder you have been here for more than a year and have not improved at all. It turns out that you are with them!

Liu An frowned and said: I was forced to do so.Many of the officials at all levels in the Transshipment Order and local governments were granted by His Highness the "slanted official title" and a large part of the money obtained from the canal will be transported to Chang'an and sent to the Taiping Princess' Mansion in Zhenguo. My position is clear, how can these people be touched?

Xue Chongxun paced back and forth a few steps, suddenly raised his head and sighed: People's hearts...

Liu An said in a deep voice: Actually, I think Your Highness is not a greedy person who is granted the title of the glorious official, but the existence of the glorious official is itself a recognition of Your Highness's power.If the people below us cannot understand Your Highness’s good intentions and keep making trouble, wouldn’t it even more disappointing to your Highness’s cultivation of his subordinates?So it has been more than a year since I arrived in Dongdu. It is not that I cannot rectify the canal transportation, but that I cannot move it...

Xue Chongxun glanced at Governor Lu and shook his head and said: The slanted title of officials is just a way to become an official, and there is no good or bad. But what kind of people are these officials who are enfeoffed? Most of them have no talent except for the franchise. How can they help us achieve great things?

What Xue Lang said is extremely true.Liu An said calmly.

Governor Lu said: No matter what, the account book cannot be put into the hands of the prince. This thing is based on real evidence and a real handle.

Xue Chongxun sneered: What a difference is it that others have obtained this thing?This woman was hired to get that account book, what does it mean?The other party has long known the corruption you have done on several rivers, and can check it clearly. Even if you, Governor Lu, have an account book, is it meaningful to cover it up?

Governor Lu said with a sad face: Without real evidence, it would be useless even if they were talking in the court.

Xue Chongxun shook his head and said: This is the human heart, the human heart is the general trend, others are creating momentum!Let me tell you, if my mother collapses, do you still want to continue to be an official and make a fortune?The head around the neck must be taken care of!

Governor Lu stared at Bai Wuchang. He obviously didn't want to care about the general trend now, he just wanted to get back the account book... That thing is evidence of crime, and Princess Taiping will not collapse for the time being. I'm afraid Governor Lu will be punished first.

Xue Chongxun stood there, raised his head and closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: But I have promised this woman to let her go.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at him in confusion, very puzzled.

Xue Chongxun said again: She is not from the prince’s side, but she is just looking for money.I met her once before. Since I was an acquaintance, I still talk about friendship in the world. Today I buy her face and let her go.

Governor Lu was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly said: Return the account book to me!It won't hurt your life.

Bai Wuchang didn't understand why Xue Chongxun did this. He just heard him tell a mysterious truth, as if he was very expert in the power field. Why did he suddenly do such a useless thing?

She didn't care about it and said with a fist: I will never thank you for your kindness. I will write down Xue Lang's friendship first.You send Buddha to the West, and good people do it to the end. I'm sorry to send me ten miles away and give me another fast horse.

Duke Wei... Liu An frowned and said, "A female liar in the world, what should we care about her?" Just take down the torture and confession directly!

Xue Chongxun waved his hand with a smile: People are determined by confidence, I promised her that even if I were to be a female liar, I should do what I said.

Bai Wuchang said coquettishly: You are the female liar!

Xue Chongxun looked like he was not in a good position: Don’t be angry, I will be a good person and I will send you away, is that true?

This is almost the same. Don’t call me a female liar again in the future. You black liar.Bai Wuchang gave him a blank look.

Come, prepare a horse...a horse!Xue Chongxun shouted.

Governor Lu stretched out his hand and looked helpless. Just as he was about to say something, Liu An gently pulled the corner of his clothes to stop him.

Xue Chongxun took Bai Wuchang out of the tent, and Sanniang followed.

After the two officials Liu and Lu came out of the tent, the governor Lu almost burst into tears in front of Liu An: Liu Jun, what should I do? That thing has been brought to Chang'an. Do I still have life?

We all underestimated Duke Wei before, so don’t worry about this.Liu An pondered.

Governor Lu was so anxious that he said: Envoy Liu, this time you must pull your brothers. For the sake of Your Highness, please pull your brothers...

Liu An grabbed his arm: Young and don’t be impatient... Why did Duke Wei let a lowly person who ran around the world?

Governor Lu said with a sad face: We must be blamed for hiding the matter and excluding him. We want to hit us!

Yes, knock.

Liu An pretended to be deep and said, so don’t worry too much. We are all Princess Taiping. Xue Lang doesn’t mess with others and is specifically dealing with his own people. Is this necessary?Knocking is knocking, but it won't be punished to death. Don't worry... If he can do both kindness and power in this matter, I really look forward to Xue Lang.

Governor Lu didn't think much about Liu An. He was only concerned about his own danger. He couldn't help but ask again and again: It really doesn't matter?

Liu An gently stroked him and said: It doesn’t matter, let’s see how Xue Lang deals with it first. If he doesn’t handle it well, will I still have this?There is also Your Highness above.

Governor Lu grabbed Liu An's hand with gratitude and tears: Envoy Liu, with your words, I will follow you in the rest of my life!

Alas, alas, I'm so serious.Liu An said calmly.

...At Xue Chongxun's request, the guard only brought one horse and Xue Chongxun turned around and said to Bai Wuchang: I'll send you and carry you up.

Bai Wuchang pretended to be shy and said: I want to take advantage of others.

Sanniang, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but say: Mr., be careful.

Bai Wuchang said in a coquettish voice: Oh, third sister, are you jealous so soon?I was just going to sit with Xue Lang. Humph, Xue Lang, you carry someone up, I'll sit in your arms.

Xue Chongxun glanced at Sanniang, hesitated for a moment, then walked to Bai Wuchang, put one hand on her shoulder and the other hand on her buttocks, and hugged her all at once.

Bai Wuchang hurriedly hugged Xue Chongxun's neck and giggled... and laughed in a smirk.

In fact, Xue Chongxun admired her quite a bit. In the situation where she was in a tiger's mouth, she could still laugh if she was unpredictable.

Bai Wuchang smiled and said: If anyone who wants to touch me is dead, you actually hold me. Don’t you think I’m very dangerous?

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Roses are all thorny.
