Chapter 310: Bounty
"Eleven, regarding the matter of Zhang Taifu, I hate him more than you do. I hate him for plundering the people's wealth, for doing whatever he wants, and for taking human lives lightly. If he were just a civil servant in the court, I could easily find a reason to confiscate his property and exterminate his clan. However, the southeastern border and the Su'nan Township Army, these two major armies with nearly 80,000 troops, still have their seals in their hands, just like Lan Qinghe's northwest Lan Family Army. Since the establishment of Daye, such problems have always existed, and they are not easily resolved."
After hearing this, Chen Shiyi pondered for a long time.
"Eleven, your consortium has all the power in your hands, and only with unity can it expand further and prosper. But the court is different. There are various interests involved. If I make a mistake and the court is in turmoil, the world will be in turmoil!"
Pei Luoshu held Chen Shiyi's hand.
"Let him live a few more years, and I will wipe them out one by one."
Chen Shiyi lowered his eyebrows.
"You mean, I have to watch him die peacefully?"
"However, after his death, he will be worshipped by his family and his name will be passed down through the ages. However, the Situ family, who sacrificed their lives to help poor students gain a place, will be forever suppressed in the ground by injustice and will never be able to turn over a new leaf?"
"A Luo, I understand what you mean. You don't want more fighting and wars in this world to implicate innocent people and prevent rivers of blood. That's true, but the world can't be drowned by this filthy air and the already scarce justice and kindness. If everyone forgets about faith, benevolence, courage and harmony just to have a full meal, what's the difference between that and the walking dead?"
Pei Luoshu frowned.
"Eleven, you and I have both worked our way up from the bottom. You know, ordinary people want a stable life, want to have enough food to eat, want to be with their families without the pain of separation, and don't want wars or killings..."
"But they are already suffering, Ah Luo. The fruits of their hard work have been plundered by those wealthy families. They have sold their children and ruined their families. It's no longer called living, it's called stealing..."
"Eleven, they are not a cancer that can be removed. They are poisonous blood that has spread to the entire Daye. I need to dig up more detoxifying herbs and invite skilled doctors. Only after a long time can I eliminate them bit by bit. Now, let alone these little evidences, even if it proves that he has circled the land and killed people, it is impossible to touch him. Someone will take the blame for him and someone will die for him."
"It's useless, Eleven. Who will sue him? Who will testify? Who will die calmly? How many Situ Yu are there in this world?"
Chen Shiyi remained silent.
Pei Luoshu hugged Chen Shiyi.
"Don't worry, I will do what I promised Situ Yu. I will definitely get rid of the Zhang family and set an example for others."
Chen Shiyi looked at Pei Luoshu quietly.
"A Luo, you are slowly becoming a qualified emperor."
"You are looking at the big picture, and I am talking about right and wrong. I can hardly keep up."
Pei Luoshu hugged Chen Shiyi tightly again.
"Don't overthink it. There are right and wrong in the overall situation. It's just that time is long, so we have to take it slow."
Chen Shiyi had a hard time falling asleep that night.
When I thought of such a vicious person, who was arrogantly showing off in front of Pei Luoshu, I couldn't help feeling angry.
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she got up, picked up her bow and arrow, and shot at the place where she often practiced archery.
It was late at night and she couldn't see anything clearly, but she could hear the sound of arrows hitting the target.
One sound, another sound...
Sharp and hits the heart.
In the study, Pei Luoshu always felt uneasy.
Some time ago, after discussing the matter of Master Zhang with Chen Shiyi, she never asked about it again.
That's not like her.
Whatever she thought of, she would do it.
He had never seen her hate someone so much. Although she didn't show it on her face, she became more and more silent.
He didn't want her to get involved in these things, the water is too deep!
Outside Yu's study, Yue Zhi asked to see him.
Pei Luoshu's heart skipped a beat.
"What happened?"
Yue Zhi slowed down his breathing and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, a large number of unknown people have recently poured into Kyoto. I have learned from my investigation that Master Yuncang of Qingzhou has issued a bounty order through the Wuxin Pavilion, a martial arts assassin organization. If you kill a foreign member of the Zhang family, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and if you kill a direct descendant of the Zhang family, you will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver. If you kill Master Zhang..."
"Well?"
"A reward of 100,000 taels of silver!"
Pei Luoshu's head twitched after hearing this.
He just knows it, he just knows it!
Eleven would not just sit there and wait, she would definitely take action, but no one expected that she would dare to do so. Didn't she know that this would put herself in danger and her life in danger?
Pei Luoshu took a deep breath.
"Add more personnel to guard the residence. Do not let her go out for the time being."
"yes."
Inside the courtyard, Chen Shiyi was still practicing archery. Every arrow hit the center of the bull's eye, and the last arrow knocked the previous one to the ground.
Pei Luoshu stood behind her, looking at her quietly.
After a long time, Chen Shiyi stopped shooting the bow and arrow, turned around and saw Pei Luoshu, frowning slightly.
"Why are you here? Have you finished reviewing the memorial?"
Pei Luoshu said softly.
"Eleven, cancel the bounty order."
Chen Shiyi paused for a moment while wiping the bow and arrow, then continued his movements.
"good."
"He can't move right now. If I could move him, I would have done it a long time ago. You wouldn't have to waste your energy."
Chen Shiyi nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
He walked up to Chen Shiyi, took the bow and arrow from her hand, and wiped it with a towel.
"Wait a little longer, okay? I told you, let me do all this, you don't have to worry."
Chen Shiyi chuckled.
"Why are you being so serious? You act like an old man."
Pei Luoshu had just put his worries to rest when he heard what Chen Shiyi said.
"Am I the most troublesome person? If I weren't there, you wouldn't have to struggle to support yourself, or to fill the harem with concubines. With their support, you can let them solve the affairs of the court for you. You only need to glance at them to make them go through fire and water for you. You should be much more relaxed."
"Chen Shiyi..."
Pei Luo shouted loudly, then lowered his voice.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chen Shiyi said quietly.
"I just don't want you to work so hard."
Pei Luoshu stepped forward and held Chen Shiyi tightly in his arms.
"No, it's not hard for me. I have already arranged for you to enter the palace. Just be my queen and don't worry about anything else. I am here and I will take care of everything."
Chen Shiyi nodded.
"Okay, let's go inside. It's a bit cold outside."
Pei Luoshu felt very uneasy.
"Don't ever say such things again."
During this period, Chen Shiyi was kept under control by Pei Luosu and was not allowed to go out. She was bored staying in the house and went out into the yard, but she felt it was extremely desolate. It was winter and everything was withered, just waiting for the arrival of snow.
When she has nothing to do, she builds a doghouse in the corner of the wall. Next year, she wants to get a dog.
I chopped some wood and used a knife to cut a few wooden nails.
Before I knew it, night had fallen.
Suddenly, something sharp pressed against my back.
"Don't move!"
