Chapter 1303 Bow Your Head

Fish with pine nuts, crystal elbow, Kung Pao Chicken, Sauce Pork, Mapo Tofu, boiled cabbage, and an old duck soup.

Looking at the delicious six dishes and one soup, Yan Wushuang stared at Guo Xun and said, "What do you mean?"

Guo Xun said expressionlessly: "The meal with the head cut off, the Queen Mother said that she would fulfill your last wish. After eating and drinking, you can go on the road with peace of mind!" He said that it would be all right to give Yan Wushuang a glass of poisoned wine. A sumptuous meal is a complete waste of money.

"I really want to die!" Seeing that Guo Xun didn't lift his eyes, Yan Wushuang felt very surprised: "She doesn't want silver mines anymore? There are only rats left in your treasury, and she actually put a silver mountain and doesn't want it." Is it because Han Yuxi has the confidence to pass this test, or is it because she is just acting.

"You don't need to worry about this." Guo Xun didn't believe Yan Wushuang's words at all. There is a silver mine, he has dug it up long ago, so how can I keep it for them.

Yan Wushuang sat on the ground, picked up a piece of fried pork with sauce in his mouth with chopsticks, chewed and said, "What I miss the most in Shengjing is this fried pork with sauce in Deyuelou. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. !"

Then he ate Mapo Tofu, and Yan Wushuang praised him again. Eat a dish and praise it.

"Hey, what I regret the most when I went to Shengjing that day is that I didn't bring the chef from Deyue Tower with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to think about it day and night." Grabbing the chef and taking it with me is a blessing.

It's the truth, it's just never told to anyone. It's rare to say it, he doesn't want to talk too much to the people around him. But facing Guo Xun, he can talk non-stop.

Guo Xun had long been accustomed to Yan Wushuang's chatter, and stood there without blinking. On the contrary, the two guards outside were stunned. They never thought that the famous Yan Wushuang would be so talkative, talking to himself for half an hour without stopping.

After the food was gone, Yan Wushuang hiccupped and said, "I'm full." Fortunately, Guo Xun halved all the servings, otherwise Yan Wushuang would probably have been stuffed to death.

Guo Xun said towards the outside: "Bring it in."

Soon, two jailers brought in a middle-aged man in prison uniform.

Guo Xun took out a jade pot from his sleeve, which was only half the size of a palm. Taking a cup from the food box, Guo Xun poured the wine from the jade pot into the cup and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man refused to answer, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy: "I don't want to die, please forgive me, I don't want to die..."

Yan Wushuang saw with his own eyes that the man bled to death from his seven orifices after being forced to drink this cup of wine.

Guo Xun poured another full glass of wine into the glass, and handed it to Yan Wushuang: "Drink him, and you will die with two breaths, and there will be no pain."

Yan Wushuang took the poisoned wine and said with a smile: "It's really unexpected that Yunqing and Han Yuxi would leave me the whole body."

"The emperor and the empress have always been strict with themselves and treated others generously." Because of this characteristic, many people trust them with confidence.

Yan Wushuang smiled, then poured the poisoned wine on the ground. As soon as the wine fell to the ground, white smoke came out, making a chi-chi sound. In other words, this time it was for real, not to scare him.

Guo Xun didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.

"Tell Han Yuxi that she won. But if she wants the list, she must get it herself!" He must get Yuxi's personal promise, otherwise he is not at ease.

Guo Xun shook his head and said, "We must confirm the matter of the silver mine before we can send you to Tongcheng." It's a good idea to get the Queen's promise with only one list.

Yan Wushuang had never been so aggrieved before, but she had to bow her head under the eaves. Now that he has something to ask for from Han Yuxi, he has no choice but to admit it.

Hearing that the silver mine is in a remote mountain village with no roads in Nandu, Henan, Yunqing said to Yuxi: "I didn't expect that, you guessed it right again."

Yu Xi didn't answer this question, but asked: "Is revenge really that important to you?" Yan Wushuang actually bowed his head to them because of this matter, which made Yu Xi somewhat incomprehensible.

For Yu Xi, there is nothing more important than making herself live well.

"The hatred of killing one's father cannot be shared with the heavens." Although Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth with hatred,

But despite his grievances, he also has merit. For example, he had a bloody feud with the Donghu people, but he didn't ignore it and take revenge.

Hearing this, Yuxi asked, "If I don't agree with you going to Tongcheng, you will insist."

Yunqing didn't lie to Yuxi, nodded and said: "I must go to Tongcheng this time."

With the exact location, it would be easy to find it. Ten days later, Yuxi got a reply, Yan Wushuang said there was a silver mine. The people who went there brought back a basket of ore, and after testing, the silver content of these ores was indeed very high.

Holding the silver mine, Yunqing relaxed. With this silver mine, the cost of Tongcheng's battle will be settled.

Yuxi did not go to see Yan Wushuang, and now there is no need to see him again. Calling Guo Xun, Yuxi said: "After he writes out the list, you will personally send him to Tongcheng."

Guo Xun was stunned, hesitated and asked: "Empress, why don't you kill him on the way!" He thought Yan Wushuang was a disaster, and if he went to Tongcheng, he might cause trouble.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "There is no need to do anything extra."

Guo Xun didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he didn't ask. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do as you are told.

Brother You has been paying close attention to Yan Wushuang, and he got the news the day after Yan Wushuang left the prison.

"Mother, why is Yan Wushuang not in the sky prison? Mother, didn't you release Yan Wushuang?" If I had known, even if I made mother angry, he would break into the sky prison and kill Yan Wushuang.

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "Send him to another place, and soon there will be no such person as Yan Wushuang in this world."

Brother You didn't believe Yu Xi's words at all: "Mother, where did Yan Wushuang go?"

Yuxi didn't say anything.

Yuxi couldn't get an answer, so Brother You went to find Qihao and asked Qihao to inquire about this matter. Yuchen won't tell him many things, but he will tell Qihao.

Qihao was silent for a while and said: "Ayou, there must be reasons for parents to do this, we can't be arrogant." His parents are not the Holy Mother, last time Yan Wushuang was let go for the sake of the overall situation, if he let go this time, it would be fine. It must be the same reason.

"Brother, as long as Yan Wushuang is alive, I don't feel at ease." Yan Wushuang assassinated their family three times and four times, which made Brother Yu already have a psychological shadow. As long as Yan Wushuang is not dead, he will be worried for a day.

Qihao also wanted Yan Wushuang to die, but he was very rational: "Ayou, mother never lies. Since mother said that Yan Wushuang will not live long, then we will just wait for the news."

Brother Yu has no other choice but to wait.

At this time, Yuchen had just arrived in Hebei with Meng Nian. Opening the curtain of the car, he looked at the wheat fields beyond the roadside. There were still many farmers in the wheat fields. Yuchen looked at it for a long time before putting down the curtain, and then sighed.

Shi Xiang was puzzled: "What's wrong Ma'am?"

"Yuxi really manages the world very well." In the past, I only heard that Yuxi managed the territory under her jurisdiction very well, but this time I have personal experience.

Along the way, they stayed at farmhouses several times. When these people were randomly asked about their views on the new imperial court, the peasants gave basically the same words. Now that taxes are reduced and corvee is reduced sharply, as long as you work hard, you will not have to worry about food, and you will no longer be worried about the court arresting strong men, unlike the past when the court often came to arrest strong men if they were not full enough to eat and not warm.

Shi Xiang was already seven years old when she was sold, and she already remembered things. In addition, on the road from Beijing to Shengjing a few years ago, I saw that the ordinary people had a very difficult life. In contrast, the Ming Dynasty is indeed better.

After hesitating, Shi Xiang said: "It's good for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment." As long as there are no major natural disasters, ordinary people don't have to sell their children or daughters.

Yuchen smiled and said: "You are right, peace in the world is better than anything else." There is an old saying that it is better to be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times. It can be seen how miserable the ordinary people in the troubled times are.

After two people passed, Meng Nian replied, "Ma'am, we will arrive in Baoding in a few days." Baoding was only two days away from the capital.

Yuchen was a little nervous.

Meng Nian didn't pay attention to Yuchen, and he said worriedly: "Madam, I just got the news that the master has been imprisoned in the sky prison. Those who enter the sky prison, they all go in vertically and come out horizontally. Madam, we have to hurry up." To the capital!" If it is late, I am afraid that Yan Wushuang will be murdered.

Yuchen will be stable now: "Since Yuxi knows that I'm back, she probably won't attack the master before I arrive in the capital."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Madame, let's rush to the capital as soon as possible!" He didn't want to go to the capital and see Yan Wushuang's body.

Yuchen nodded in agreement.

Yuxi has been paying attention to Yuchen's news, and knowing that she is approaching Baoding, she couldn't help but sigh: "In the blink of an eye, twenty-four years have passed." When she separated from Yuchen, she was still a 28-year-old young girl. Now, they are all grandmothers. Time flies so fast!

Soon, Yuxi withdrew her thoughts: "How is the list given by Yan Wushuang, how is it checked?" It is impossible for all the names on the list to be true, and it is estimated that they are half true and half false. This requires them to identify.

Yu Zhiyan said concisely, "Still investigating."

When Yunqing came back in the afternoon, when he entered the palace, he saw Yuxi talking to Shangyi from Shangfu Bureau.

After everyone went down, Yun Qing asked a little strangely: "I asked you to make a few more sets of clothes before, but you didn't want to, why would you think of making clothes this time?" Yuxi advocates frugality, except for court clothes, she only makes four sets of clothes in one season. But with the old clothes, it is enough to wear. Therefore, she never makes extra clothes. It was also because of her frugal style that the people below followed suit, unlike those high-ranking officials in the previous dynasty who were extravagant and corrupt, and often fought for wealth.

"If you want to do it, let them do it. There are so many reasons." Of course, she won't say the reason.
