Chapter 254 Spy
The governor of Chenzhou hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Shen thanks you very much, Master Jun."
Tao Zhiwen stepped forward and said.
"Sir Shen, there is nothing I can do about this matter. Please forgive me. The North Wing may attack at any time. This food and grass is too important for us. Madam Shen's action is more serious than pointing a knife at you.
Lord Shen, the Master and the Madam have always kept in mind what you and Second Miss Shen did. A few days ago, the Master was still reminding General Song not to forget the contributions of you, Lord Shen, and Second Miss Shen when submitting memorials. Yet, such a big thing happened in just a few days.
Even if the young master and the lady have the intention, for the sake of you, Lord Shen, this matter cannot be concealed. After all, Chen Wenlin said in front of everyone that it was Madam Shen who gave him the route.
The young master has always said that you, Lord Shen, are a good official who can distinguish right from wrong and cares about the people. If the imperial reinforcements do not arrive, it will be a difficult battle. I hope that Lord Shen will put the overall situation and the people of the northwest first.
How could the Chenzhou government not understand the truth behind this? Although they felt a little uncomfortable, the facts were already before them. In this matter, Master Jun was already doing a great favor by only punishing Xu.
He bowed to Tao Zhiwen.
"Don't worry, Master Tao. This state understands. Master Jun's actions have already saved dozens of lives in my Shen family. This state is grateful. There are still many things to deal with in the back, so this state will take its leave first."
Mrs. Shen, who had fallen to the ground, finally came back to her senses in a daze. When she thought of being given the white silk, the panic in her heart suddenly surged up. She didn't want to die yet. She was obviously the wife of the governor of the northwest, so how did it come to this? She suddenly pounced on Mrs. Shen and grabbed the trouser leg of the governor.
"Master, Master, please save me. We have been married for so many years, you can't just watch them kill me, Master..."
Shenzhoufu slowly squatted down and looked at Madam Shen, no, it should be said that it was Madam Xu, whose eyes were full of fear.
"Madam, you and I have been married for almost twenty years. I know how hard you have worked managing the inner house over the years, and I have turned a blind eye to many things. I never thought that you would do such a wrong thing. As for Luoxue's matter, after the war is over and the northwest is defended, if I can make some contribution, I will ask Master Jun to let Luoxue come back.
I didn't teach my own daughter well, and it's my fault as a father. As long as I'm still around, the Shen family will support her and the child for the rest of their lives. Let's say goodbye now."
After saying this, he reached out and slowly pried open Xu's arms, then stood up and left. In the end, he couldn't help but tear up.
Xu looked at his leaving back, her eyes full of despair, and she hurriedly tried to crawl over.
"Master, Master, please don't abandon me, Master, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
Tao Zhiwen made a gesture, and two soldiers controlled Xu and blocked her mouth. Tao Zhiwen watched Chen Zhoufu leave the cell, then he took the white silk handed to him by a soldier and walked step by step towards Xu who was trembling with fear.
"Xu, rest in peace. In your next life, don't do such foolish things again."
Xu sobbed in fear and shook her head, struggling desperately, tears already falling, she really regretted it.
Tao Zhiwen wrapped the white silk around her neck, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he exerted force with his hands.
Soon, Xu's whimpering became quieter and quieter, until her neck drooped and she stopped breathing. Tao Zhiwen then let go of the white silk, and Xu slowly fell to the ground.
Chunqing's face was covered with tears, and she covered her mouth with her hands in fear. Xinkai was full of despair, knowing very well that she would be the next one.
Chen Wenlin, who was kneeling in the cell waiting to die, had no special expression. He looked indifferent. He already knew his own ending. People like him were just used as an example to scare others. Looking at Tao Zhiwen's ruthless face as he took someone's life with his own hands, Chen Wenlin felt mixed emotions. The people around Jun Moye had grown up to be like this. The Chen family really made the wrong choice.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye walked hand in hand in the barracks. After Li Xiao had a reunion dinner with Hanzhi on New Year's Eve, the two of them went about their own business. Li Xiao was training the new recruits in some killing skills on the battlefield.
Su Hanchu has been watching Jun Moye's actions over the past two days. Compared to Jun Moye when he was on the road of exile, he has really grown a lot. He is decisive in killing and good at making plans. It seems that there is nothing he can't do.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken a word all the way, Jun Moye shook her hand.
"Chu Chu, what are you thinking about?"
Su Hanchu looked at him.
"I was wondering how my husband has become so powerful now. He has been shocking me these past two days."
Jun Moye tilted his head and looked at her lovingly.
"With a powerful enemy at hand, we must be ruthless. We must kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Besides, the Fang and Chen families will only cause trouble if they are kept around. As for Madam Shen, I just hope that the Shenzhou government will figure it out. For now, Lord Shen is still a good official."
Su Hanchu spoke slowly.
"Master Shen has always been able to distinguish right from wrong. I believe he can tell what is important and what is not. Besides, isn't Luo Yun here? This girl Luo Yun is quite able to endure hardships."
Jun Moye nodded slightly.
"Well, she is quite able to endure hardships. After the war is over, she should be able to ask for a title of county lady or something like that. Congratulations, madam."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke.
"If you want to say congratulations, you should say it to Luo Yun. Why are you saying it to me?"
Jun Moye looked at her.
"But she is yours, isn't she?"
The two continued to walk up to the city wall, ready to watch the northern wing army.
Su Hanchu looked into the distance with a telescope.
"There's been no change in the camp, and I don't know if Chen Sibo has made it to Qingyuan successfully."
Jun Moye took the telescope and looked through it.
"He's a smart guy and should be able to do it."
At this time, the northern wing camp.
A wounded man stumbled and fell in front of the Northern Wing Army.
Several soldiers from the North Wing rushed forward to check and roughly lifted Chen Sibo up.
"Who are you and what do you do?"
Chen Sibo spoke weakly.
"My name is Chen Sibo, and I'm one of your Young Master Qingyuan's men. Please tell Young Master Qingyuan that I've burned down the granary in the northwest."
After hearing this, several soldiers looked at each other, and one of them spoke.
"You'd better pray that you are indeed Mr. Qingyuan's man, otherwise the fate of a spy will be very miserable."
Soon Chen Sibo was taken to Master Qingyuan's tent.
As soon as he saw Master Qingyuan, Chen Sibo knelt down with difficulty.
"Master Qingyuan, Chen Sibo of the Chen family has fortunately fulfilled his mission. The northwest granary has been destroyed by a fire..."
