Fortunately, Gong Shouli arrived in time and a big trouble was avoided. Otherwise, I don't know what these young people would have done! Fortunately, Ling'er was here, otherwise Gong Shouli would not have interfered with this nosy matter.
After sending several people away separately, he also warned the royal guards not to make any public announcement about the matter and not to report it. They just treated it as a few children who drank too much and acted recklessly.
I will reward you later, and so will the queen. Also, that bastard Xiao Chen did not discipline his younger siblings strictly and almost caused trouble, so he will reward you later too...
In other words, you all keep silent and don't talk nonsense and you will get money, otherwise you will offend my father-in-law, offend the queen, and offend that bastard Xiao Chen!
What else is there to say?
Everyone just listens to your orders, Eunuch Gong!
Although they were slightly frightened, they made a huge fortune and everyone was happy...
Ling'er was not happy. When Xiao Chen learned about this, he became very angry and slapped the buttocks of all the boys with his own hands with a wicker stick!
Even Ling'er was not spared and was beaten several times. She was also put in solitary confinement and was not allowed to step out of the door. She was also punished by going on a hunger strike and deprived of food for three days!
Why is Ling'er punished the most? Because you are the eldest among them. You are the elder sister, and that's how you take care of your younger brothers and sisters!
Ling'er knew she was in the wrong. Although she was depressed, she didn't talk back and stayed in the house obediently.
But the confinement only kept her for a long time and then she flew away. It was not that Ling'er ran away because she was unbehaved, but that the queen sent someone to invite her again. Xiao Chen said that Ling'er was sick and couldn't get up, but the people who came didn't believe it at all.
, the queen said, you must see Miss Ling'er in person!
"Hmph, I advise you not to be too complacent. How many days can you hide in the palace? If you have the guts, don't come back!" Xiao Chen had no choice but to let him go.
He can't lock up Duanmu Nanfeng, but he also orders him to reflect on the walls at home and not go out, otherwise you will look good!
The rest of you, please stay safe with me. Don’t even take a step outside my door before I leave!
What a guy, beating someone at the gate of the palace... is only one step away from entering and assassinating the emperor!
You guys, I have never done this before!
A few boys were dejected. Alas, they were too happy this time. It was all caused by drinking. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do this.
It all comes down to that little girl Xing'er. If she hadn't gone and caused our Qixing little reunion, she wouldn't have drunk so much wine in joy. It shows that she is a little disaster star!
But it might be a little lucky thing, because we all got beaten, but she didn't.
Xiao Chen doesn't allow them to go out, but he is very busy these days. He leaves early and comes home late every day without leaving home.
A few kids are trying to get fat at home, and the fat guy is happy to do favors, but you guys can go out to play, or go to Nanfeng, but you are not allowed to drink, otherwise I won't be able to save you.
As long as they don't drink and don't get drunk, the little ones are actually fine.
Xiao Chen actually knew that they were sneaking out every day, but he had no choice but to turn a blind eye. After all, it was not easy for people from all over the world to get together. Is it really possible to lock them all up?
These little ones all have heroic minds, and they cannot be locked up no matter what.
In fact, seeing them happy together, Xiao Chen was also happy for them. If he had been a few years younger, he would have gone to play tricks together, what do you think?
After Gu Changwei was acquitted, he came to Xiao Chen's house to express his gratitude. Xiao Chen met him in person, exchanged greetings with him, and advised him to simply resign when he went back, because you must have offended your colleague Shangguan when you were imprisoned this time.
If they can't kill you this time, they won't be able to kill you next time.
Minzhou is in chaos now. You and Huan'er should go to Jiangnan, buy a big house, become a rich man, and wait for the situation to change. You are still young, and there will always be a day when you can make a comeback.
Gu Changwei said that after this big event, he had really lost his spirits. He only wanted to contribute to the court, but he worked so hard but ended up like this, and his heart felt cold.
I just obeyed the orders of my lord and resigned from office.
Xiao Chen also wanted to give money to him, but Gu Changwei said no. Although the confiscated fine gold and silver could not be recovered, some of the land and property would be returned. After selling them all, we still had a few thousand taels of silver, which was enough for our family of three to live on.
Half a lifetime...
"It's okay, a big tree attracts the wind, and a lot of money brings disaster. It's useless to have so much money... If you have any difficulties in the future, just send me a letter, or go to Duanmu Nanfeng. Huan'er took care of me a lot when I was in the palace.
, I am also returning your favor." Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, sir, these are polite words. Huan'er told the students how much you took care of her in the palace. This time we have received a great favor from you, and we really don't know how to repay it. If it weren't for the fact that the child was still young and infected
If the wind and cold are just right, I will go directly to Yanyun County to serve you." Gu Changwei said.
"I welcome you to go at any time." Xiao Chen said, "Now Yanyun County needs talented people like Brother Gu who can do things."
"Your Excellency saved the lives of the student's family and rekindled our kindness, so I dared to speak out if I had something in my heart..." Gu Changwei pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency just said that I am a big tree that attracts wind. In fact, from the student's point of view, the Master and Yan
Yun County is the place where big trees attract the wind!"
"Oh... that's true." Xiao Chen sighed, and said that his tree attracts the wind. It seems that there is no one in the whole Zhou Dynasty who attracts the wind more than him.
"If you don't have any foresight, you might as well resign and go home." Gu Changwei's words were also strange.
"I wanted to resign a long time ago, but the emperor didn't allow it... What does Brother Gu mean by being far-sighted?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Big trees attract wind, but if they are towering trees and their roots are deep enough, no wind can blow them down," Gu Changwei said.
"Brother Gu, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Chen asked knowingly.
"What the student means is... Yanyun is better than Yizhou!" Gu Changwei said bluntly.
"Oh, brother Gu, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Chen pretended to be shocked.
"The reason why the student said this to you, sir, is because your tree has reached a towering height!" Gu Changwei said, "Sir, who has been in the palace for a long time, have you ever seen a big tree? Then
Just because no big tree can be planted beside the king or at the feet of the emperor..."
"What Brother Gu said is very true, this, this, very true..." Xiao Chen didn't want to talk to him about this topic anymore, so he dealt with it casually while serving tea to the guests.
"Student, please resign!" Gu Changwei took out a thick letter from his sleeve, put it gently on the table, bowed to Xiao Chen again, and drifted away.
Xiao Chen came back after seeing him off and opened the letter before reading it. The fat man strolled in with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Who gave you the love letter?"
"Gu Changwei." Xiao Chen said, "It's not a love letter, but it's a confession. Haha, I didn't realize that this Brother Gu is quite knowledgeable and courageous."
"Then why don't you have an in-depth chat with him?" Fatty said.
"Am I that flippant in your eyes?" Xiao Chen was surprised, "You don't even know his true identity, so you just talk nonsense with him?"
