Tang Peng declined the other party's kindness. From the moment the new emperor ascended the throne after leaving the miasma land, he had only one way to go.
As for the current situation, the other party extended an olive branch to him regardless of the danger and was willing to help him. Tang Peng knew that the friendship between them was more precious than gold.
However, he cannot accept his brother's kindness just to make himself comfortable, knowing that he is in danger. If his brother is implicated because of him, what is the difference between him and an animal?
Because of what he had seen and heard before, the new emperor did not believe that Lu Changgong was dead.
If the new emperor knew that Lu Changgong was not only alive but also walking as fast as a normal person, then as the leader of the escort of the fugitives, he would surely die.
Today, Lu Changgong is no longer a stall. His legs are healed. He has always been known as the God of War. As for General Lu’s crimes and causes of death, Lu Changgong will definitely clear his stigma.
When General Lu is rehabilitated, it will be the time for Lu Changgong to be reinstated.
Along the way, he was not blind, he had a sense of right and wrong, and was full of passion for serving the country and the people.
Considering how General Lu risked his life to protect the territory of Dayue, and what Lu Changgong did along the way, anyone with a conscience would feel that the charges against Lu Changgong were probably a frame-up.
Also, from the beginning to the end, he did not believe that General Lu would commit treason. Most of those charges were slandered by villains or treacherous officials.
Tang Peng's action made Su Sijin look at him differently.
"I didn't expect that Tang Peng could resist the temptation of court salary and power and be willing to follow us to suffer." Su Sijin was surprised by Tang Peng's decision.
It is human nature for people to strive for higher goals.
After Su Sijin finished speaking, Tang Peng's decision made sense when he saw the wanted list on the notice.
Friendship is real, saving lives is real, and knowing the times and having foresight are also real.
The new emperor just ascended the throne. One moment he issued an imperial decree of amnesty, the next moment he sent a notice to arrest Lu Changgong. He was so eager to eliminate dissidents. Doesn't he really care about the criticisms of the world towards him?
Su Sijin shook her head, saying that one should eat one bite at a time and do things one by one.
Today, resettlement is a top priority.
The government office was quite kind and reserved an hour for shopping before going to the resettlement site.
Tang Peng was familiar with Ganzhou Prefecture. He counted the supplies needed by each household and called a dozen people to go shopping together.
Su Sijin doesn't intend to fit in. She needs to leave the team so that she can do her own thing.
Therefore, Lu Changgong, Su Sijin, Chi Yan and the fox headed straight for the target.
Feicheng Pawnshop.
When they first entered the pawnshop, it was cold and deserted. There was only a middle-aged man sitting there bored, with his legs crossed and drinking tea. When the shopkeeper saw them coming in, he immediately put down his crossed legs and came up to the two of them in a flattering manner.
Even though Su Sijin and Lu Changgong were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked ordinary (really ugly), the shopkeeper still smiled and greeted them warmly.
After filling the two cups of steaming hot tea, the shopkeeper looked at Chi Yan in Su Sijin's arms and said sincerely, "I have only heard of white foxes. Today, thanks to you two, I saw a fiery red fox. I have to say that my Great Yue is truly vast and rich in resources."
The shopkeeper's words were full of amazement, and he didn't mention a single word about the two men's purpose in entering the pawnshop.
The shopkeeper has mastered the ways of the world.
Su Sijin picked up the teacup, took a sip, her eyes full of interest.
The shopkeeper looked to be in his thirties, and even though he dressed maturely, it could only hide his inherent arrogance and casualness.
No wonder this pawn shop is so deserted. Could it be that the owner is not interested in this?
Lu Changgong chatted with the shopkeeper while drinking tea.
In this way, the person who was pawning things did not look like a pawner, the person who was collecting jewelry did not look like a jewelry collector, and the three people who were chatting looked like friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
During this time, someone came in to pawn something, and the shopkeeper reluctantly went to do his "business".
"Lu Changgong, this guy is very interesting, a wonderful person." Su Sijin looked at the two people doing business in front of her, especially the shopkeeper, who believed whatever his customers said.
Material, price, I don't care.
No bargaining either.
People like this either have mines at home or are out of touch with the world.
Su Sijin's words caused Lu Changgong to look sideways, narrowing his eyes slightly. His face was dark, and his tone was slightly raised, "Interesting? Killing people in seconds?"
Su Sijin was so focused on the shopkeeper's negotiations with others that she didn't notice that Lu Changgong's tone had changed.
"Yes! You see, that hairpin is only worth five taels of silver at most, but the woman thought the shopkeeper was easy to talk to, so she turned around and asked for ten taels, and the shopkeeper gave it to her."
"This is the first time I've seen a shopkeeper who doesn't take pawned items seriously. The fact that this shop is still open makes me feel like God has given him a backdoor."
"I saw three people come in and they lost at least twenty taels. The shopkeeper is a complete loser. To say he can kill people in seconds is flattering him."
When Lu Changgong heard this, his gloomy face suddenly brightened up, he raised the corners of his mouth and sipped his tea.
It turns out that this person is not that person.
After the guests left, the shopkeeper placed the newly received ornaments randomly and placed the receipts on the table.
The ancients must have attached great importance to evaluation!
The shopkeeper gives people the impression that he doesn't take the pawnshop seriously at all.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the tea is gone. I'll get some more and be back soon." The shopkeeper picked up the teapot and turned to leave.
Su Sijin opened her mouth, but before she could say anything polite, the shopkeeper had already left.
Well, he is also a straightforward and domineering person.
No rebuttal or rejection at all.
After the shopkeeper came back, he talked with them again. Of course, he was the one who talked most of the time, and Lu Changgong occasionally responded with a word or two.
