Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!
Chapter 58 The fate of a traitor
Fu Gang picked up the wine bowl and wanted to toast the man in black, but the man in black raised his scabbard.
"Drink it, I'll tell you. If you can listen, continue. If not, you can stop."
"Hmph!" Fu Gang knew in his heart that the person who came was going to preach to him and wanted him to listen!
He was not polite either. He raised his head and drank the whole bowl of wine. Then he reached out and grabbed the mutton on the table, put it in his mouth and chewed it, not taking the other party seriously at all.
The man in black did not show any sign of anger at Fu Gang's behavior. There was no trace of anger on his face that looked as sharp as a knife. His burly body filled up the tight black clothes. He just stared at Fu Gang who was eating voraciously.
The wine in the bowl was gone, and he reached out to refill it, only to find that the man in black opposite him didn't say a word.
"Oh, what's your name?" Fu Gang asked tentatively, and filled his bowl with wine.
"You are not yet qualified to know my name or even how to address me."
"Because I'm a prisoner?"
"Even if you are the boss of Binzhou Tongkou, you still don't have the qualifications."
"It seems that you are from a prominent family."
At this time, Fu Gang vaguely felt that this person was not just from Chuzhou, but at least came from Shangjing.
"If you like, no one will guard you here anymore." The man in black did not answer him directly, but said this.
Fu Gang didn't respond, he knew there must be conditions behind it.
Unexpectedly, the man in black stopped talking and continued to look at Fu Gang, while the two guards from before were packing up their things, obviously planning to leave.
"Are they planning to leave? What was the meaning of them guarding me all this time?" Fu Gang became anxious at this time. He couldn't figure out what the other party meant.
Obviously, the other party would not kill him. Could it be that they wanted the Cao Gang to kill him? Impossible. He was now a discarded pawn. Anyone could kill him.
Will he die at the hands of the Salt Gang?
At this time, Fu Gang thought of the tragic death of his brothers, while he had been away for several months. He wondered if other people in the Salt Gang would think that he had betrayed the gang, or if someone had already spread the news.
Maybe they feel that they are traitors to the Salt Gang...
Three cuts and six holes, digging out the heart...
Fu Gang simply didn't dare to think about it anymore. The gang's rules were extremely strict, especially the treatment of traitors, which could be said to be extremely harsh.
He couldn't pretend anymore. He even felt that the wine on the table was the medicine given to him by Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge. Life and death were only between his thoughts.
"Brother, tell me, what do you want me to do?" Fu Gang was anxious, and his voice was a little breathless.
"There's nothing you can do for us." The man in black answered quickly this time.
Fu Gang finally felt that he still had a chance, which meant there was still room for negotiation. He asked, "Where are the brothers who were arrested with me?"
The man in black gave Fu Gang a playful look, and a ferocious look finally appeared on his face. "It's been so long, and you just remembered them. I guess they have become waste, or wild dogs are roaming the fields with their heads in their mouths."
Upon hearing this, Fu Gang took a deep breath. He tried to use his crippled hand to exert force, but he couldn't. There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. At this moment, he felt that there was no reason for him to exist anymore.
Seeing that Fu Gang was of little use, the man in black shook his head and said, "I really overestimated your Salt Gang. Now I realize that you are all just trash."
Fu Gang, who had already given up hope, was provoked by these words and asked back, "How can you insult my Salt Gang like this?"
"You're just a bunch of blood-sucking worms. How can you insult me? Without those corrupt officials protecting you, you're nothing."
"You...we..." Fu Gang really didn't know what to say. Ever since the incident at the Chuzhou headquarters, the subordinates suddenly lost their backbone. At that time, he was the only one who led the people in Binzhou to fight. Now he thought about how naive he was.
When something happened, he never thought about the consequences of his actions. After being arrested, he instinctively thought that his brothers were dead and did not ask about them for several months.
Why did I act so stupid today? No! I have always been stupid.
Thinking of this, he picked up the wine bowl he had just filled and drank it all.
Fan Xitong did not have dinner with Li Shuyan in the evening. The two women were talking about something, and he seemed to have nothing to say if he got involved.
He walked out of the Princess's Mansion, accompanied by several guards, and headed towards the workshop. Soon, someone along the way noticed him. Zhao Yongsheng came up to him and asked rapidly:
"Who are you? This is Luancheng Workshop. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Although Fan Xitong is the son-in-law of the emperor, he knew when he came that he was not allowed to walk around here casually, but he just stayed outside and didn't go in to take a look. Isn't this person in front of him being a little too nosy?
"I am Fan Xitong, the consort of the legitimate wife! Who are you?"
He reported his title and identity, and he also wanted to know who the other party was.
Although Zhao Yongsheng is now under the supervision of the Princess Luancheng's personnel, and also has the power to manage the floating population of Luancheng, he is unsure whether he can manage it when he encounters the son-in-law of the legitimate wife.
"I am Zhao Yongsheng from Nanzhao Village, the Personnel Supervisor of Luancheng. I was not aware that the Prince Consort had arrived."
Fan Xitong thought that he couldn't get in anyway, so why bother with a subordinate? Besides, this was a branch of the royal Zhao family, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
At this time, Zhao Sheng also came out and saw Zhao Yongsheng holding a young man in brocade clothes and asking him questions. Out of curiosity, he said, "Yongsheng, what's going on?"
At this time, Zhao Yongsheng was bowing and facing the person in front of him.
We talked about this before. In this era, all daughters who were not emperors were called princesses.
In other words, those called princesses are not necessarily the emperor's daughters.
But the daughter born to the emperor and the empress must be a princess. In order to distinguish her from other princesses, the word "legitimate daughter" or "imperial daughter" will be added in front of her name, and so on.
The name varies in different times.
When Zhao Sheng appeared, Zhao Yongsheng hurriedly introduced him: "This is the legitimate wife's son-in-law."
After that, he introduced to Fan Xitong, "This is the consort of Princess Dingzhou."
Historical records show that the husband of a princess was called a county horse. In fact, it is not clear. There are also records in ancient times that the son-in-law of a prince was called a prince's son-in-law. We will not distinguish them here.
When Fan Xitong heard the man in front of him being introduced as Li Shuya's husband, he clasped his fists and said, "So it's my brother-in-law!"
Zhao Sheng didn't know how to respond when he was called brother-in-law. He thought about the fact that he was once the sixth prince. According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, his status was higher than that of the son-in-law.
But now that I am dead, I have no choice but to accept this title.
He stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Prince Consort!"
"You and I are family, you can just call me Xi Tong!"
Zhao Sheng understood the meaning and said with a smile: "Zhao Shen, my courtesy name is Gao, you can call me Zhao Gao."
Fan Xitong was obviously older than Zhao Sheng, and he didn't feel comfortable calling Zhao Sheng "Brother Gao" or "Brother Jiangsheng," so he just addressed him directly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Brother Zhao Gao. How about we go find a restaurant for a drink?"
Zhao Sheng guessed that the two women were having dinner at home, and Fan Xitong did not accompany them. She came out alone, probably because she had not eaten. Since he had not eaten either, he readily agreed to have dinner with them.
