Chapter 538: That couple the villagers are talking about, could it be you?

The two men did not expect that the next second after Qian Ming was beheaded, the imperial decree of amnesty arrived.

A step earlier or later will make a world of difference in the results.

The officers and soldiers who announced the imperial decree posted the notice of amnesty at the street corner, but unexpectedly, cheers broke out among the crowd.

The officers and soldiers looked at the crowd strangely, not understanding why these people were so happy. After all, those who could go to jail were not good people.

Little did they know that what they were cheering for was that Qian Ming failed to escape the disaster, and the good thing of amnesty did not fall on him.

After Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen drank half a pot of hot tea, they just walked out of the teahouse and met Jin Ermao, whom they had just met yesterday.

But unlike yesterday, Jin Ermao was squatting on the street with a worried look on his face, with a sign in front of him that said "Go to work."

"Uncle Jin, why didn't you go out to sea today?"

Jin Ermao raised his head and saw that it was Ran Qingxuan. He quickly put away the sign in front of him and gave her an awkward smile.

"No...I didn't go out to sea today..."

It was already 9 o'clock in the morning. Seeing that his expression was a little strange, Ran Qingxuan knew that something must be wrong.

"Uncle Jin..."

"Sixth brother Gu, Sixth sister-in-law, I was just looking for you, and now I see you."

The two turned around and saw Yang Shuo, and behind him were four lean men.

The four of them all walked with a limp, but that did not affect the righteousness emanating from their eyes at all.

Yang Shuo was just about to start introducing them, but Gu Yanchen looked at one of them and froze on the spot.

"Lu Anfu?"

"General Gu?"

The two spoke at the same time, and Yang Shuo and Ran Qingxuan, who were about to introduce themselves, were also stunned.

Ran Qingxuan didn't expect to meet someone he knew here. It was such a coincidence.

"Brother Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Anfu, who was called Brother Lu, was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He walked up to him and knelt down to salute him.

"No, no, no, hurry up and speak."

When the other three heard Lu Anfu's name, although they were not as excited as him, their eyes obviously changed.

Ran Qingxuan: "Husband, do you know each other?"

Several people looked at the woman who was speaking, and were all amazed by Ran Qingxuan's beauty.

"More than just knowing each other, Qingxuan, let me introduce you, this is Lu Anfu, he is the most capable general under my father."

"only……"

"But later I was seriously injured and my legs and feet were no longer under my control, so I had to come down from the battlefield."

Gu Yanchen was filled with emotion, because the reason why Lu Anfu was injured was entirely due to the battle at Hulu Pass.

Although Lu Anfu and other soldiers fought desperately with the Yigui people, they failed to save Gu Yanchen's father.

Because he was seriously injured and Gu Yanchen's father died at the hands of the Yigui people, Lu Anfu had no choice but to accept the pension given by the court and return home.

For so many years, he has always felt guilty towards the men of the Gu family. Now that he sees Gu Yanchen, after the excitement, only deep guilt remains.

Seeing that his eyes were moist, Gu Yanchen knew what he was thinking.

"Brother Lu, everything is in the past. The most important thing now is to live well in the present."

"Yes, yes, what General Gu said is..."

Gu Yanchen smiled and corrected him: "Brother Lu, I am no longer a general. You can just call me Brother Gu like Brother Yang."

How could Lu Anfu have the honor to be able to be brothers with the men of the Gu family?

In this case, he just felt lucky.

"Okay, Brother Gu."

After saying that, he looked at Ran Qingxuan and said, "I think this is my brother's wife. Standing next to you, they are indeed a perfect match."

Ran Qingxuan saluted him gracefully: "Hello, Brother Lu, my name is Ran Qingxuan."

"Okay, I've met my sister-in-law. Old Yang said before that he would give us a surprise, but I didn't expect it would be Brother Gu."

"You are such a fool. If you had told me earlier, I would have prepared a gift for my brother and sister-in-law."

Yang Shuo shrugged: "Why would you ask for a gift? Sixth Brother Gu asked us to build him a house, and we'll build a beautiful house for him, and that will be the gift."

"Too."

After saying that, Lu Anfu pulled over the three men who came with him and said to Gu Yanchen.

"Brother Gu, these people once followed General Gu into battle and killed the enemy, but later returned home due to injuries."

"They are Ji Dehua, Ning Gang, and Wei Rao."

Liu Anfu introduced them to him one by one from left to right.

"I've met a few big brothers."

Gu Yanchen greeted the three people and after chatting for a few words, Yang Shuo suggested going back to Yongfeng Village to see the location where the house needed to be built.

In a blink of an eye, I saw Jin Ermao standing in the corner, looking a little uneasy.

"Hey, aren't you the guy from the village next to us?"

Jin Ermao smiled awkwardly, took the work sign, said hello to Ran Qingxuan, and left in a hurry.

Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Ran Qingxuan didn't think much about it.

Who knew that after everyone walked away, Yang Shuo asked doubtfully: "Does your sister-in-law know him?"

Ran Qingxuan nodded: "I met this Uncle Jin at the dock yesterday. If it weren't for him, we might not have been able to find you, Brother Yang."

After listening to this, Yang Shuo spoke thoughtfully, "Before I left this morning, I heard from the villagers that a few people from the neighboring village sank the boat of their fellow villagers.

He said that he sold seafood to a couple yesterday. The couple sold it at a high price, but let them make only a small profit. ”

Then he looked at Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan and said, "The couple the villagers are talking about, could it be you?"

Ran Qingxuan frowned, thinking that it was no wonder that Uncle Jin did not go out to sea, it turned out that the ship was sunk.

Gu Yanchen didn't expect that he just bargained for a price, but it caused Uncle Jin to lose the boat on which he depended for his survival.

"That couple is indeed us. It's just a matter of mutual consent. We gave Uncle Jin more money just to thank him for helping us lead the way."

"Human hearts can be so hateful. This is just a small matter. How can they do such a thing?"

Lu Anfu also felt that what that group of people did was inhumane, so he said something casually.

The more Ran Qingxuan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt and felt that he shouldn't leave like this.

"Brother Yang, do you know where I can sell boats?"

"You mean, help him buy a fishing boat?"

Ran Qingxuan nodded.

Yang Shuo waved his hand and said, "I know this guy. He is also an old craftsman. He probably came out to work to save some money so that he can buy materials to build a ship."

"After all, with the money he spent on one ship, he could build two."

Ran Qingxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with surprise: "You mean he has good skills and can build a boat by himself?"

"People in our village sometimes ask him to repair their boats. I've seen him do it. His skills are pretty good."

Gu Yanchen understood Ran Qingxuan's expression and said with a smile: "You don't want to ask someone to come back to build a house, do you?"

"No, but I have other ideas."

"Tell me about it?"

"Because of us, Uncle Jin has lost his eating utensils.

What I was thinking was that when building a house, there would definitely be a lot of discarded wood left over, and it would be a pity to chop them up and burn them. Why not ask him if he can make tables, chairs and benches? In this way, we will have furniture, and he can also earn money to buy materials for building the boat. ”
