My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 114 112. Old friends gradually wither away, the sin of greed

The execution ground in Chang'an City.

Wang Shilin's crime and sentence were announced, all the evil deeds he had done were exposed, and he was eventually beheaded in the street. Various relatives were also directly beheaded in public. The ending was very satisfying.

The people watching applauded and applauded.

Many people at the scene cursed Wang Shilin.

A short and thin man stood in the crowd, watching Wang Shilin die on the spot, and watching his family being severely executed.

He let out a pitiful lament, and sighed in a low voice: "Mr. Wu'an's punishment is harsh. Even Wang Shilin ended up like this. The punishment is ruthless. I'm afraid I won't get a good result either."

The short and thin man returned home, chose to say goodbye to his relatives and friends, and finally headed to the Zhao family's residence resolutely.

The Zhao family's residence is naturally the Wu'an Jun's residence.

He stood in front of the door, looking hesitantly at the Wu'an Lord's Mansion in front of him, with a look of self-mockery and despair on his face.

Finally, knock on the courtyard door.

……

Zhao Xuanqi was still immersed in the news of Wang Shilin's death. He stood in the yard with his thoughts swirling and could not recover for a long time.

"Dong dong dong..."

Unexpectedly, someone knocked on the courtyard door.

Don't wait for the servants to open the door.

"Who else will come to me at this time?"

He was confused and took the initiative to open the door and take a look. There was a short and thin man standing in front of the room.

This man was about 40 years old, with a thin build and dark skin, obviously tanned. The skin on his body also looked rough, giving him a feeling of poverty.

Even the clothes he was wearing were the most common blue robes found at roadside stalls. The cloth was cheap, and he seemed to be a poor person.

Although he has been dressed in poverty all his life, his body gives off a clean, neat and refreshing aura, without any trace of filthiness.

Zhao Xuanqi frowned.

He didn't know who the person in front of him was.

Don't know him at all.

What would happen if this person found me?

The guard beside him answered Zhao Xuanqi's doubts: "This man's name is Ouyang Fugui. He is a senior official in the North. He was promoted from the north to the capital a year ago..."

Ouyang is rich!

Zhao Xuanqi seemed to have a flash of thunder in his mind, and he was stunned in place for an instant.

He looked at the thin man in front of him and said in surprise: "Are you really Ouyang Fugui? That little fat guy from Qingyun Library?"

The short and thin man nodded awkwardly: "Brother Zhao Xuanqi, you are well. In the blink of an eye, we have not seen each other for more than ten years. Everything seems like yesterday."

Listening to this familiar voice, this familiar tone of voice, including this familiar title, Zhao Xuanqi was completely sure that the person in front of him was Ouyang Fugui.

Ouyang Fugui and Wang Shilin together are a fat and thin fairy boy. In Qingyun Library, the three of them studied together and were also Jinshi in high school!

In my impression, Ouyang Fugui was short and fat, very fat, dirty, and had a lot of runny nose.

I like to wipe my nose when I have nothing to do. I always carry a handkerchief with me. I wipe my nose once, put it into my sleeve for a while, and then take it out and wipe it again next time.

When they first met, Zhao Xuanqi was disgusted.

Later, when Ouyang Fugui was in the library, he often hid aside and looked at erotic pictures. He dug out all kinds of erotic pictures. He was addicted to erotic pictures and never returned, and even led Wang Shilin to death.

At the beginning, if Zhao Xuanqi hadn't scolded them to wake them up, it might not be certain whether the two of them would be Jinshi in high school!

Unexpectedly, just after Wang Shilin was sent away, Ouyang Fugui took the initiative to come to the door!

Zhao Xuanqi patted Ouyang Fugui on the shoulder and immediately invited him into his home.

He also asked:

"You have changed so much. I don't even recognize you anymore. I remember you were a big fat man. How could you change so much!"

The fat man who was obviously short, fat, and dirty has now become so skinny, spotless, and extremely clean.

What a change!

Time spares no one!

Ouyang Fugui did not answer this question.

Instead, he said with melancholy eyes: "I'm looking for you this time because I have something important to tell you."

Zhao Xuanqi took him to the room, and the two sat on the bed, facing each other.

He clapped his hands, and a servant brought a small table. The small table was placed between the two of them, with fruits and vegetables on it.

Then he asked doubtfully: "What important matter do you have to come to me for?"

Ouyang Fugui's face was dull and he said shockingly:

"I'm here to surrender. I have embezzled too much money over the years, too many to count. The death penalty is my final outcome..."

"I do things secretly, so Jin Yiwei has not discovered my crime yet, but I believe in Jin Yiwei's ability that sooner or later I will be arrested and brought to justice."

"Instead of dying in embarrassment, it is better to die calmly. Meeting your close friend before death can satisfy my last wish and I can die peacefully."

His tone was calm, as if he was telling the most ordinary things, and he didn't take his death penalty seriously at all.

Just like death,

If you die, you will die, no big deal.

As Ouyang Fugui spoke, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the fruits in front of him, and ate them generously.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the skinny Ouyang Fugui, who was dressed in poor clothes, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

Ouyang Fugui is also corrupt?

He who was so fat before has become so thin now.

He was dark, thin, and impoverished.

At first glance, he looks like an upright official.

How could it be possible that he had also committed corruption?

And he claims to be a corrupt official?

The fat man has become so thin, you don’t look like a corrupt official!

Zhao Xuanqi was a little in disbelief.

Open your mouth and want to say something.

But he couldn't say anything.

The feeling in my heart is so complicated that I no longer know how to describe it.

Unexpectedly, when we meet again, we will be on opposite sides!

He finally said: "Wang Shilin is like this, and so are you. Why did you end up like this!"

"You are my close friends. I have always kept your grand ideals in my mind. I really can't bear to see you end up like this..."

When old friends meet, they are not as happy as they imagined, but they are filled with desolation and lamentations of despair.

Ouyang Fugui lowered his head, peeled an orange in his hand, threw the peel away casually, then broke open the orange and handed half of it to Zhao Xuanqi.

The other half was slowly peeled open and he ate it by himself.

After hearing Zhao Xuanqi's words, Ouyang Fugui's expression remained calm, but his eyes became dim:

"Over the past few years, I have felt like a rat in a dark ditch. I dare not tell the truth. I hide in hiding, hide my head and hide my tail, and hide myself from others."
