Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 1297

The execution was carried out the next day, Wen Tingzhan was not the execution officer, but he took Ye Yaoguang to the tea house not far from the execution ground early in the morning. The location was well booked, and the line of sight just passed the crowds of onlookers to the execution ground. On the platform in the middle, I saw the place where the prisoner knelt.

"The executioner, isn't it the one who resigned from Shan Jiu?" Ye Yaoguang asked while sitting in front of the beauty and looking at the executioner.

"How does Yaoyao know that he is from Shan Jiuci?" Wen Tingzhan was a little curious.

"Look at him, he has been looking at the sundial frequently since half an hour ago, wishing that the time would come soon. This preoccupied look must be aware that something is going to happen today. Except for us, we can only learn from Shan Jiuci." Find out what is very likely to happen." Ye Yaoguang analyzed and said to Wen Tingzhan, "Furthermore, if this person is our side, even if it is not our side who is neutral, you would not be so cautious about making a dummy. The most important thing is that he played a side ball and ordered the beheading when the time was about the same. Or, it was still early, but because he was shocked by the people who robbed the court, he had to bring the criminal to justice early, so even His Majesty could not Said he did. Except for Shan Jiuci, who would use an innocent life to stir up Hu Ting's hatred for you?"

"Hahahaha, Madam's analysis is quite reasonable." Wen Tingzhan laughed happily.

"Your smile is really low." Ye Yaoguang gave him a disgusted look.

"As long as it's what my wife does, it's a source of great joy to me." Wen Tingzhan coaxed Ye Yaoguang with a flattering compliment.

Even though he was used to hearing his affection, Ye Yaoguang had to admit hypocritically that she was very useful, and stretched out his hand to support his chin: "There is still a quarter of an hour, when will Hu Ting act?"

"He won't move anymore." Wen Tingzhan smiled at Ye Yaoguang, and heard footsteps coming towards them, and soon Wei Zhuo walked in front of them with Hu Ting in black.

Was this stopped by Wen Tingzhan just before the action?

"Master Hu, as the commander of Huguangdu, you are not allowed to leave your post without an order, don't you know?" Wen Tingzhan picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm white water.

"Master Hou naturally knows why I came here." Hu Ting laughed at himself.

"Benhou really doesn't know why you came." Wen Tingzhan put down his teacup and said quietly.

Hu Ting's eyes froze. He looked at Wen Tingzhan seriously. This young man had a pair of dark and deep eyes like black pearls. The restrained brilliance made his eyes very deep, covering all his eyes. His thoughts, people can't pry into one or two.

"I'm here to make amends." Hu Ting whispered.

"Atonement?" Wen Tingzhan raised his sword eyebrows, "What crime is atonement? Is it false public welfare? Or theft of tax money?"

"Both." Hu Ting was very frank at this moment.

"How can I redeem it with my life?" Wen Tingzhan looked at him indifferently.

"Only one poor life."

"If I knew today, why bother?"

Hu Ting smiled lowly: "People, there are always times when you are not sober, arrogant, and smug. I went through floods back then, and I was promoted to a commanding officer. Commanders and envoys are at my fingertips. As long as I am already in the An important position, but you can't even protect a relative, friend or brother, it's really useless, and you lost your mind for a while, and did something wrong."

It was only then that Ye Yaoguang realized that there was no other reason why Hu Ting saved Hu Xiao like that. It was just that when he was in the limelight and after being suppressed for a long time, he didn't want to be aggrieved anymore. He wanted to hide from his brother even though he was right. Hiding his name and burying his name, he is on the edge of a dead end.

"Master Hu's ecstasy is very short-lived, why?" Wen Tingzhan continued to ask, after all, apart from Hu Xiao's matter, Hu Ting has never done anything else to abuse his power.

A soft light flashed in Hu Ting's eyes, and he only answered Wen Tingzhan with four words: "There is a good wife in the family."

It was his wife, the wife he married back for money. Even though she was the daughter of a merchant, marrying the third-rank conductor Tongzhi who was in full swing at the time, even if she was his second wife, would have favored him.But, only he himself knows that he owes her his whole life.

In these years, she never asked him to do any personal gain for her family, instead, she didn't even give out a lot of money to fulfill his brotherhood and support so many people without a single complaint.She married him without making a request of him, no matter what he did, she fully supported him.He felt sorry for his soldiers, but casually complained that the court's military salary did not make their lives better than he imagined.She shared the burden for him, and asked her natal firm to give priority to hiring soldiers' family members or natal family members without any trace, as well as subsidies during the holidays.It neither slapped the imperial court in the face, nor made him suspect of enlisting soldiers, but also helped him improve the situation of all soldiers.

The wife who was 12 years younger than him was so good that he couldn't be tempted. She had paid a lot for him and never refuted him.After what happened to Hu Xiao, she took her daughter back to her mother's house without looking back, and sent someone to ask him for a divorce letter.

At that time, his anger reached the extreme, he almost stormed the Guan family, pinched her neck and asked: "I am sorry for you, even if you want to abandon me, you have to give me a reason!"

She looked at him so calmly: "I married you not because of your power, but because I respected you for leading a thousand soldiers to fight floods and rescue disasters. You are a hero in my heart that no one can match, but today I just discovered that power can change a person, and you are no longer who you were back then. If you want to strangle me, do it, and save our mother and daughter from accompanying you to the guillotine in the future!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" At that time, he used anger to cover up the embarrassment she had seen through.

"Am I talking nonsense, you know it well." She always had such soft eyes, a little cold, "How were you oppressed by the power back then? Why did you only bring more than 1000 people to fight the flood? Did you forget Is it? What is the difference between what you did today and those who oppressed you with power? Today you are doing this for Hu Xiao’s family. You have to protect your brother. , I can accept it. That is your brother. He killed someone with no sense of shame. He doesn’t deserve to die. But you insist on using this to show your prominence today, your heart has changed , you are no longer the real man who stood in the middle of the flood and made me feel that even if the world falls, you can stand upright!"

It was these words that pierced into the bottom of his heart like thorns, piercing his slightly inflated selfishness to pieces. Only then did he realize that what he thought was not wrong had been fully exposed in his wife's eyes. his filth.
