Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 1296 The Lady's Route

"Okay, then I'll wait." Ye Yaoguang didn't ask any further questions, now that she knew that when it was really displayed, she didn't have that kind of amazement, and she was looking forward to seeing it with her own eyes.

Since Ye Yaoguang didn't ask, Wen Tingzhan didn't say much anymore, but he was a little embarrassed to talk about Gu Moxibustion. Wen Tingzhan didn't embarrass him either, and left his yard with Ye Yaoguang. , Wen Tingzhan took this man on death row to replace Hu Xiao's son.

Hu Xiao's son was still at a loss, but Wen Tingzhan didn't talk to him too much, so he was trapped in the mansion.

Ye Yaoguang originally thought that she would wait until the third day, but she didn't expect that on the night before the execution, when she had just finished eating and was walking with Wen Tingzhan, Yi Wei said that there was a lady surnamed Guan who asked to see her.

"Surnamed Guan?" Ye Yaoguang frowned, "I don't know anyone with the surname Guan."

"Madam, she said that her husband's family name is Hu, Madam just came back from their hometown." Yi Wei said again.

Ye Yaoguang glanced at Wen Tingzhan, quite surprised: "Hu Ting's wife is named Guan?"

"Well, Guan Wanli, the home of the richest man in Huguang." Wen Tingzhan nodded.

"What did she come to see me for?" Ye Yaoguang was puzzled, "I'm begging for mercy."

"This is called Madam's route." Wen Tingzhan said with a smile, "She is a smart woman, she knows that everything will be fine if she only asks you, and I never go against your will."

Ye Yaoguang shot him a look, and at night, guests who came from afar could not be allowed to blow the cold wind outside, so Ye Yaoguang asked Yiwei to bring them in, Wen Tingzhan went to the study, and she went to wait alone. I met Guan Shi at the guest's place.

When she arrived, Mrs. Guan was already waiting for her there. Seeing her coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Little lady Mrs. Hu Guan pays homage to Mrs. Ming Ruihou."

"Madam Hu, you don't have to be polite." Ye Yaoguang gave her a little help.

Guan looks like she is only in her early thirties, and she is more than ten years younger than Hu Ting. Although she is not the kind of extremely stunning beauty, she is very good-looking. The wealthy family did not see that she is full of jewels, but she is very elegantly dressed. There is charm, at least in the first impression, Ye Yaoguang thinks that Guan's is not bad.

Mrs. Guan stood up straight and said: "Come to bother Madam late at night, little lady will accompany Madam first, it is really a matter of life and death that the little woman is begging Madam."

"Tell me, I don't like to beat around the bush." ​​Even though she knew why Guan came here, Ye Yaoguang was still very patient to hear how she would plead for mercy.

With a "plop", Guan knelt down in front of Ye Yaoguang: "Ma'am, in fact, the person who stole the tax money was not Hu Wei's child, but the little lady who was coerced by her husband."

Ye Yaoguang didn't speak, but looked at Guan Shi quietly.

Guan raised her head and met Shang Ye Yaoguang's calm eyes. She knew she had guessed right, both Wen Tingzhan and Ye Yaoguang knew, so she lowered her eyes: "12 years ago, my husband was the only one in my life. Something against conscience..."

Mrs. Guan told the whole story of Hu Xiao's family, and she finally said: "The tax bank was robbed by Cao Gong behind his back. The little woman did not want to shirk the blame by saying this. Without my husband's acquiescence, Cao Gong can’t do anything. The little woman knows she’s wrong and she’ll have to suffer, but the little woman only wants to ask the wife to give her husband a way to survive, and he shouldn’t be guilty of death.”

"Why should I give him a way out?" Ye Yaoguang asked indifferently.

"Before the little lady came, all parties have inquired about the lady's character. The lady's behavior seems cold, but in fact she is lenient. Even if my husband is wrong in every way, his heart for the people of Huguang can be learned from the sun and the moon. Huguangdu Commander, the implications are very important. The little lady dare not say that her husband is the only one who is just and honest in this world, but the little lady dares to say that no matter who is in power in the future, no one can make Huguang like her husband. It is more peaceful, but the door is not closed at night, and there are no thieves in and out." Speaking of this, Guan's tone revealed a sense of pride, "Madam, it is easy to kill one person, but it is difficult to let thousands of people live and work in peace."

"Just because he is a clean and honest official, he can be different from others, can he be lightly forgiven for abusing his power?" Ye Yaoguang sneered.

"No, the little lady doesn't have that intention." Guan shook her head, "The little lady just hopes that the gods will fight, and don't let mortals suffer. Even if the husband is guilty, according to the law, there is no danger of his life. The little lady begged Madam Let Hou Mingrui be merciful and save his husband's life. The little woman knows that behind her wife is the rich and powerful Lord Yongfu, and she looks down on the frivolous money of the Guan family, but the little woman has nothing but these, so she can only Dedicate the entire Guan family, and beg to save your husband's life."

Being threatened with theft of tax money and abusing one's power to deceive others is indeed a serious crime.But if it is really necessary to punish according to the law, especially for a person with such great achievements as Hu Ting, His Majesty will also consider it as appropriate. Dismissal from office and ransacking the house is very possible, but beheading is not enough. After all, Hu Ting did not cause any harm.

But Guan sees it very clearly. In the game between Wen Tingzhan and Shan Jiuci, Hu Ting had no choice from the beginning. Now his life has been pushed into Wen Tingzhan's hands by Shan Jiuci. In Wen Tingzhan's thought, Hu Ting probably didn't believe that Wen Tingzhan would save his life, so he made up his mind to rob the execution ground, and Guan's rushed to the door at this point, probably because he knew about her husband. idea.

"Mrs. Hu, I'm sorry. The male lead is the outsider and the female is the insider. Normally, I seldom even ask about A Zhan's political affairs, let alone interfere with his decision." Ye Yaoguang slowly picked up the teacup.

Serving tea to see off the guests, Guan's face was pale, she moved her lips, stood up slowly after a long time, and then looked at Ye Yaoguang almost beggingly for a while, seeing that Ye Yaoguang was indifferent, she left Hou in despair government.

After Guan Shi left, Ye Yaoguang went back to the room to take a shower and wash. Just after washing and drying her hair, Wen Tingzhan walked back slowly: "Why didn't you promise her?"

"Why did you promise her?" Ye Yaoguang lay down on the couch and put on the quilt, "Maybe Shan Jiuci is watching their every move, let her leave happily so that Shan Jiuci can see clearly? Let Hu Ting think that you just let him go so easily? I also want to see if he is really going to rob the execution ground."

"My wife loves me more and more." Wen Tingzhan kissed her on the cheek. After taking a bath, Taoyao's breath on her body was the freshest, and Wen Tingzhan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Who loves you?" Ye Yaoguang saw that he was relying on his intentions, and quickly pushed him away, "Go and bathe me, it stinks!"

"Where does it stink?" Wen Tingzhan sniffed himself. He had to take a shower and change clothes every day when he came back from the court, so he jumped on it, and used his hands and feet to face Ye Yaoguang, kissing her and rubbing against her while kissing her. In a low voice, "I'll wash it later..."
