Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Han Zhi didn't want anything, and the empress couldn't help feeling unhappy.

The easiest way to repay a favor is to use money and power to give the benefactor the material things he wants, but a favor that does not ask for anything is the hardest to repay.

The empress is the supreme ruler, and she does not want to be swept up by such favors, because thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. For the emperor, Han Zhi's behavior is his duty, not a favor.

Fortunately, Han Zhi continued, "I have something I would like to ask for your grace, Your Majesty."

"You said..." The empress became excited.

"When the incident happened, many of my colleagues and subordinates, as well as the Imperial Guards who followed me, were implicated. Many of them were imprisoned, disabled, or invalid, and some were even exiled.

The whereabouts of many people are still unknown. Even for those who know their whereabouts, some of them are unable to make a living after fleeing the capital and have to become bandits.

I implore Your Majesty to pardon those guards of the Imperial Guards who have been implicated because of me, so as to eliminate the guilt I have felt over the years.

How could the Empress not know? Those who were implicated in the Imperial Guards were lucky enough to be demoted and sent home, while the unlucky ones were not only beaten with sticks, but some even lost their lives.

Even a commander like Han Zhi could not escape the fate of having his right hand crippled.

"I agree... Is this really the only thing you have in mind?"

This time, Han Zhi nodded, prostrated himself on the ground, and expressed his sincere gratitude to the empress.

"Now that you've found them, what are your thoughts? How should we place them? Do you need help from the court?"

Noticing that Han Zhi wanted to say goodbye and leave, the empress asked out of curiosity.

"Panshi Academy is very large and already understaffed. I thought of recommending these soldiers who have nowhere else to go to the dean. By sending them to the academy, I can serve as their guards and provide for them until their old age. This can be considered a fulfillment of our brotherly love."

Han Zhi bowed and replied. Those people who had become bandits before are now staying in the academy, busying around and taking charge of security. The academy has become bigger, and the number of people coming and going has also increased. Those people before were just substitutes for the imperial guards, but they were still quite powerful. When his direct descendants come, they can already defend the imperial palace, let alone a Panshi Academy.

Seeing his sincerity, the empress couldn't help but feel moved. With a stroke of her pen, she instantly pardoned those who had suffered. This was a perfect ending to the matter. At least it was a small problem that was solved in the cooperation between her and Qian Qiansui.

"General Han is really not coming back this time?" The eunuch had worked with Han Zhi before, so he couldn't help but feel regretful.

"My hand is broken, why did I come back? I can't just come back and eat for free. Now it's good that I can be a martial artist. I can put my knowledge into practice, have food to eat, and be free." Han Zhi smiled naively, and it seemed that he had no grudges in his heart.

The chief eunuch was relieved upon seeing this. The emperor's mind was unpredictable, and the empress was also afraid that this man was too cunning.

At this time, a palace maid ran over, not knowing what she was in a hurry for. She was holding a food box in her hand and ran towards here in a panic. She almost bumped into Han Zhi. Han Zhi subconsciously used his left hand to catch it, while his right hand was drooping, and it was obvious that he had no strength to do so.

"Please... please spare my life, sir! Please forgive me!" The palace maid was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her legs so weak that she could not stand. Her face was pale and it was obvious that she had never experienced anything.

The chief eunuch quickly went over and took the food box from Han Zhi's left hand, then scolded him, "Why are you so flustered? Hurry up and stand up and apologize to General Han!"

"No need, no need. I'm just a commoner and I'm not hurt. Let her go. She looks very anxious. I think something important is going on."

Seeing that it was really nothing serious, the eunuch waved his hand impatiently and let the palace maid take the food box and leave.

Han Zhi arrived at the palace gate, bowed deeply to the eunuch, and then walked slowly into the crowd alone and blended into it.

The chief eunuch only felt it was a pity, but things had come to this point, and in fact, there was no place for Han Zhi in the palace anymore.

Han Zhi went along the mainland to the academy. It was still early, so he was about to go to the candied fruit shop. At this time, a dirty child ran over and brushed against his belt and was about to run past him.

Han Zhi walked past sideways and touched his waist again, but the purse was gone. He was not in a hurry. He jumped to the child in three steps. He didn't care how frightened the child was, nor did he reach out to grab him. He just stretched out his right hand and touched the child's side, then immediately turned around and went back.

The right hand that was once disabled was now weighing the purse in the palm of his hand. It was flexible and stable, with no trace of injury at all.

"Sikong Taxing's teaching is the best. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to buy any preserves today!"

At the same time, Mao Dong also appeared stealthily near his home. He had nightmares all night long since his father injured himself and sent them away. However, there were too many things to do in the academy, and he also needed to avoid the pursuit of the Grand Princess. He had escaped death and was able to live a normal life again.

He didn't know what would happen to his father after he was gone, and whether the people in the government office would still believe his father. But he once sent people to inquire, and found that some constables in the government office were indeed injured, but no one was imprisoned.

"What are you doing!"

After being slapped on the back, Mao Dong almost turned around and took out his weapon to fight.

But when he saw that it was his own sister, he became dispirited.

"Mute?"

Mao Dong's sister is not married yet. She used to dislike her brother the most, thinking that he was lazy and a troublemaker to the neighbors, making her father unable to hold his head up.

But as her brother entered Panshi Academy, he gradually became a good student, sold the house to compensate the neighbors, and the sadness on her father's face disappeared.

Especially after Mao Dong became the manager of Liangxin Paper Industry, her father even bought three kilograms of wine for his son for the first time. He got drunk at home, crying and laughing, and felt that his son had finally made it.

After that, let alone the neighbors around her. Originally, with her family background and appearance, not many people proposed marriage to her. But after her brother became rich, her door was almost broken down by matchmakers. Of course, later on, the paper business ran into problems and the matchmakers disappeared.

"Is Dad okay?" Mao Dong didn't dare to go home and asked with his head down.

"I was injured last time." Mao Dong's sister dragged Mao Dong home desperately.

"I've caused trouble for my family again." Mao Dong didn't dare to go home at all.

"There is trouble!" Pushing open the door, Mao Dong's sister looked back at her brother. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. How could her brother, who was hated by everyone, become a decent man now?

"But, Dad said, you're not wrong in this matter! It's not your fault! It's not your employer's fault either! Dad said... you should go home!"
