On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Shen Wantang sat down and his voice became much softer.

"Could it be that the relationship between me and Dalang is all a lie?!"

Hua Niang still refused to give up, and her tears poured down like a flood.

Shen Wantang felt really distressed for this beautiful girl.

"Those were your happy times, of course they were real, but you also know that they are in the past. The past is over and cannot be compared with the present, let alone the future."

"People's emotions are changeable. Mr. Lu loved you deeply before, but he can do the same to others in the future. The beauty of a couple living together for a lifetime can only appear in storybooks."

Shen Wantang held Hua Niang's hand.

She knew that she was refusing to believe what was said that day, and was tying herself up in knots and not wanting to face reality.

But people can't live in fantasy and memories after all.

"Your parents gave birth to you so that you could experience the world and understand the principles of the world. Now that you have gone through it, if you die so easily, you will really let your parents down."

Shen Wantang's gentle voice slowly pulled the woman in front of her out of her confusion.

"Over the years, I have passed on information to Lu Mingfeng more than once. These messages have killed so many people. It is a heinous crime. I have no face to live in this world anymore."

But just as she was about to walk out, the guilt in her heart once again pushed Hua Niang into the abyss.

"The murderer used a knife to kill someone. Was it the knife that was wrong?" Shen Wantang said quickly. "Now, there is a chance to redeem oneself for meritorious service. Why not give it a try?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Hua Niang's desperate eyes.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Wantang in front of her.

"really?"

Shen Wantang nodded firmly.

"really."

"From now on, you will still run your gambling house in Nanzhou and continue to send messages to Lu Mingfeng, but you must not let him get suspicious."

Shen Wantang spoke.

Hua Niang understood instantly and nodded repeatedly: "Since you saved my life, I belong to you."

With Hua Niang's words, Shen Wantang felt relieved.

After coming out of the room, Shen Wantang let out a long breath.

"I have submitted a petition to the court and will return to Beijing in three days." Shen Wantang said.

Cen Xiao suddenly raised his eyebrows: "So fast?"

Shen Wantang's eyebrows tightened: "If I don't hurry up, that old man will plot to kill me on the road."

The task of finding the granary has been completed, and only some trivial matters remain.

The next day, there was suddenly a lot more food in front of the government office.

The officer came forward hurriedly to report.

Shen Wantang took a look and recognized it immediately - it was sent by Magistrate Jiang of Mo County.

"There's only food, no message?" Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows.

The official handed over the letter from the car: "This letter says that this amount of grain is equivalent to 3,867 taels of silver."

Shen Wantang raised the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly: "He is quite smart."

"This is blackmail!" Zhou Gengxin stood up angrily, "Did you see the person who brought these grains here? Catch him quickly and I want to interrogate him in detail! I want to see who is so bold as to blackmail the prefect!"

The officer was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Shen Wantang.

"Master Zhou, there is only a letter now, but it does not say where the money was sent. If we investigate, we will have no way to find out."

This is also true.

But Zhou Gengxin also has to save his face. Now that he has been bullied, will he just admit it?

"It seems that the cloth bag containing the grain is not from my Nanzhou. I will leave tomorrow. If Lord Zhou can trust me, why don't you let me investigate this matter?"

Shen Wantang took the opportunity to bring it up.

Zhou Gengxin naturally wanted to get rid of this crappy job, but he still had to pretend to be nice for the sake of face.

"Sir Shen, you have worked so hard all the way, how can I leave this matter to you again? No, no."

In the officialdom, there is always tug-of-war, and Shen Wantang is well aware of it. He said repeatedly: "It's okay, we are all here to help His Majesty. Lord Zhou is too kind."

"But these foods..." Zhou Gengxin still frowned.

"You are blackmailing the government, so these things will of course be confiscated. So I can only trouble the accountant to sort them out and put them into the warehouse." Shen Wantang's words were flawless, and Zhou Gengxin beside him also smiled.

After receiving the letter, Shen Wantang left the front hall.

The next day, after finishing their packing, Shen Wantang and his party prepared to leave Nanzhou.

When the people learned that Shen Wantang was leaving, they lined the streets to see him off, and many of them were in tears.

Looking at the people, Shen Wantang felt mixed emotions.

"You saved them, so they are naturally grateful to you. You don't owe them anything, so don't be sad." Seeing that Shen Wantang was upset, Cen Xiao spoke to comfort her.

Shen Wantang let out a long sigh: "My father and I have fought all over the world so that the people can live and work in peace. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will die with no regrets."

Looking at Shen Wantang, Cen Xiao pondered for a long time, and finally asked:

"But the emperor you support doesn't care about the people of the world. In this case, do you still want to support him?"

As the words fell, Shen Wantang's eyes tightened.

"Prince Cen, please don't say these nonsense. Now it seems that His Majesty is good to the people, otherwise he would not have sent me to provide disaster relief."

It was not the time to expose herself yet. Shen Wantang suppressed the nausea in her heart and tried to find something to make up for Ji Xunchuan.

Seeing that Shen Wantang was still stubborn, Cen Xiao stopped asking questions. He smiled calmly and leaned against the carriage: "It doesn't matter. I'll wait for the day when you regret it."

Suddenly, the car stopped abruptly.

Qing'e was embarrassed and said, "Miss..."

Shen Wantang opened the curtain and was stunned by the scene before her.

"Master Shen!"

I saw the people kneeling down, weeping, blocking the carriage.

"Now that Lord Shen has helped Nanzhou out of trouble, it is truly a blessing for Nanzhou!"

Everyone spoke in unison, and then bowed to the Prime Minister.

Shen Wantang got out of the car one after another, looked at the people in front of him, and bowed in response: "I would also like to thank all the elders for their trust. I have no regrets in meeting you all."

After saying this, everyone made way for the carriage, and the carriage left quietly, but the people stayed for a long time.

Seeing tears in Shen Wantang's eyes, Cen Xiao handed her a handkerchief.

Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief - the disaster was over.

"Young man, please drive slower." Cen Xiao spoke slowly.

Qing'e didn't understand.

"Sir, why do you have to go slower? If you go slower, there will be more variables."

Hearing this, Cen Xiao smiled calmly, glanced at Shen Wantang and slowly said, "The capital is a place where people don't like to stay. It doesn't matter if we go there a little later."
