Chapter 419 Wrist
Yang He is very proud, so he acts very strong in many things and will not act like a humble second male lead just because of his opponent's identity and strength.
He also knew very well that love was not a transaction, so he did not propose to Zhao Yushu any nonsense like "let's have a fight and whoever loses will withdraw" that would use love as a bargaining chip.
"Of course I am grateful."
Zhao Yushu and Yang He clinked glasses and both drank tea.
"Sanniang came a long way and risked her life to save me. It's impossible for me to say that I'm not touched at all. But to say that this is love is a little short of the mark, and..."
"Besides, you seem to be quite disgusted with things like having three wives and four concubines."
"Yes, the most important thing for two people to be together is to respect each other. How can I respect you when I'm your concubine?"
Yang He patted the table in admiration, "The leader told me before that the people in the academy are first-rate in character, even if the old madman, cough cough, even if the old immortal behaves a little bit unruly, he is still a very good person at heart. Before, I thought it was because of the reputation of the academy, and everyone gave each other some face and praised each other. Today, after listening to Brother Zhao's words, I know that this is true. Hearing about it is worse than meeting it in person."
Zhao Yushu narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, you guys in the Red Lotus Sect call me teacher and you all call me an old lunatic, right? Then I'll ask this old man to come over and beat up your leader, and then extort some benefits from him."
"But Comrade Xiao Yang, although it may be shameless to say something, I still have to say it in advance. I don't raise fish, but I can't ask Sanniang to like you."
Yang He burst out laughing: "Brother Zhao, you are too confident."
Zhao Yushu looked at Yang He and proudly adjusted his hair. Damn, you think I'm ugly, right?
When they returned to the clinic, Sanniang was reminiscing about the past with Lan Ling. When she learned that Lan Ling had been under house arrest by Zhu Xian after she left, Sanniang was immediately furious and wanted to take Lan Ling to the leader to complain, but was persuaded to stop.
Zhao Yushu wanted to have a frank talk to avoid any misunderstandings in the future, but before he could open his mouth, the messenger from the Red Lotus arrived.
The leader invited Mr. Liu to the government office to listen to the trial of the Zhou sisters.
Zhao Yushu had to accept the invitation from the leader for both moral and logical reasons.
Sitting in the main seat was the leader dressed in a red robe and a silver-white mask.
There were many familiar faces on both sides, including the old lady Neijing, the two guardians Wang Jiang, and Yang He.
There were five people kneeling below: the Zhou sisters and the Zhu family of three.
"My mother-in-law and Yang He have already informed me of everything that happened. I'm sure they didn't wrongly accuse you two, right?"
The leader's voice was steady, without any emotion.
The Zhou sisters looked at each other, knowing full well that there was no point in lying in front of this godly man, and that their Snow Mountain Qi Sea was already destroyed and they had no desire to live, so they shook their heads together.
"Although you were sent by the underworld, you still joined my sect in front of the Red Lotus Holy Fire. You have the right to choose the Holy Fire Punishment."
The two of them shook their heads again. The only person in the entire Red Lotus Sect who had truly stepped into the Holy Fire and remained safe and sound was the Sect Leader. Even Yang He had never tried.
As for those prisoners who were hoping for luck, the screams from the depths of their souls the moment they stepped into the sacred fire reminded every subsequent prisoner to think twice before making a decision.
"In that case, the execution will be carried out at noon tomorrow. Yang He, you will carry the knife."
Yang He stood up and saluted respectfully with his arms crossed.
"Zhu Xian."
"The guilty minister is here."
The leader sighed and said, "You are innocent, but your wife colluded with the enemy. She was responsible for the death of the old helmsman. Fortunately, she did not commit a serious mistake. However, if you continue to hold the position of garrison commander, it may be difficult to convince the people."
Zhu Xian bowed his head and said, "I beg you, Master, to remove me from my position as a guilty minister and allow me to return home with my wife and children."
"But you have been in this position for a long time and have made outstanding achievements. If you change your position lightly, people may become uneasy, Zhu Huo!"
Zhu Huo raised his head suddenly: "Here!"
"Are you willing to atone for your parents' sins?"
"Ah! Master, you can't do that!" Zhu Xian and his wife hurriedly tried to stop him.
Zhu Huo kowtowed heavily: "Yes!"
"I order Zhu Huo to be stripped of his post as a detective in Yuezhou and transferred to the Qiantang front. You will leave after the New Year. You must start as a soldier. If you make contributions, your parents will be safe. Do you understand?"
Zhu Huo kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Master!"
"Mrs. Zhu, your son is fighting hard in the front, so there is no reason for you to be at peace. You should go with him and help take care of his injuries on weekdays to make up for your mistakes."
Madam Zhu bowed and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master!"
"Zhu Xian, you will temporarily take over the post of garrison commander of Yuezhou for one year. If after one year, your family has not achieved any merit, you can return home."
Zhu Xian burst into tears and kept thanking the emperor.
Zhao Yushu admired the leader of the Red Lotus Sect with all his heart. Strictly speaking, apart from sending someone to follow him once, Madam Zhu had never done anything bad, or she had never had the time to do it.
The leader didn't have to pay anything, but he managed to make this family obedient and even grateful to him.
Zhu Xian's wife and son are all at the front line, and he wouldn't dare to act rashly even if he had ten times the courage; and similarly, if Zhu Huo, the little dandy, leaves his father's territory, he will have fewer problems.
After demonstrating his skills, the people kneeling below were gone, and Zhao Yushu knew it was his turn.
"Zhao Yushu."
This was the second time the leader called him by his name, unlike other people, who would always call him Mr. Six first when they were not familiar with him.
"The leader."
Zhao Yushu stood up.
"Are you satisfied with my handling?"
Zhao Yushu's eyebrows jumped: "This is Honglian's family affair."
"That's right, but Sister Zhou, it was indeed my negligence in teaching that caused you trouble."
"If this is the case, Captain Yang has already compensated me, and I am very satisfied with the compensation."
Zhao Yushu didn't know what the leader wanted to do, but after seeing the leader's methods, he decided not to have anything to do with him for the time being, especially the relationship that the leader offered to him.
You are in someone else's territory, and you are crushed in all aspects, both in terms of resources and cultivation. If you want to take any action in the future, you must take the initiative.
When Yang He heard that he was involved, he quickly stepped forward and said, "In order to express my gratitude to Mr. Zhao for his help, I took the initiative to give him a fireproof jacket."
"You are the helmsman, you have the authority to do so. You can't say you act on your own. Well, in that case, Zhao Yushu, you can do as you please. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time. If you want to stay, Yang He, you are all young people, so please entertain us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader stood up and went out, heading straight to the Red Lotus Holy Temple.
"The leader wants to give you something, why don't you take it? What the leader takes out must be good things."
As soon as the leader left, everyone dispersed. Yang He grabbed Zhao Yushu, looking disappointed.
"Come to think of it, what your leader gave me was something from your Red Lotus Sect, right? You don't feel bad for giving it to an outsider like this? If our old man gave away the treasures of the academy, I would have scolded him a few words, but not to his face at most."
Yang He said with a pah sound, "It's not mine, why should I feel bad about it? I was thinking a few days ago you said that the leader killed the Yunmeng monster and didn't forget to share some of the things with you, why did you suddenly change your mind today? I suspect you have a conspiracy."
Zhao Yushu touched his chin and said, "Of course there is a conspiracy."
