Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Hearing this, Su An felt both amused and mixed emotions.

Zhang San put on such an open-minded smile because he was afraid that she would feel guilty and blame herself.

But this matter of the wife...

At this time, Fu Zhun's low and smiling voice came slowly from behind him:

"Zhang San, my army is in need of brave and fearless men like you. Are you willing to join the army and serve to defend our country? If so, I will help you find a good marriage and find you a good wife."

When Zhang San heard this, he was stunned at first, then surprise showed in his eyes.

He struggled to stand and salute, but the pain prevented him from moving. He could only bow slightly and said excitedly, "Your Highness's appreciation is the blessing I earned in my past life! I, Zhang San, have nothing but a passion and a life. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, I still have those brothers who have been through thick and thin with me. They are all very loyal and hardworking. I would like to ask Your Highness if you could take them in as well, so that they too can have a chance to make a name for themselves!"

Zhang San is a straightforward person. Whenever he thinks of something, he speaks excitedly with a flushed face.

And precisely because of his rough and unyielding nature, the first person he thought of was his brothers, which is enough to show his loyalty and sincerity.

Fu Zhun nodded slightly, a hint of smile and admiration flashing in his deep eyes. He said, "Well, since you are so brave and loyal, how could I refuse you?"

"Rest assured and recover from your injuries. Once you are fully recovered, bring your brothers to report to the army."

Zhang San's face was immediately filled with joy, tears welling up in his eyes. He choked out a sob and said, "Thank you so much, Your Highness! We will definitely not let you down!"

On the side, Su An finally came to her senses. She pursed her lips and turned to Fu Zhun with suspicion.

"Are you doing this on purpose? You've poached Zhang San and the others, leaving me without any friends."

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements and I will make sure you are satisfied." Fu Zhun's voice was still cold, but it seemed to carry a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

The next day, Su An saw Fu Zhun's so-called arrangement -

He actually transferred all the secret guards over to serve as servants!

The one who impressed her the most was An Yi, who was disguised as an ordinary waiter, wearing coarse clothes, with his hair tied up casually, revealing a face as tense as if it was carved by a knife or an axe.

He pretended to wipe the table and seemed busy, but he was always alert to his surroundings. Only when he looked at Su An, his eyes would inadvertently reveal a hint of murderous intent.

“…” Su An felt numb all over.

Is he here to work, or to assassinate her?

Behind the counter not far away, the young-looking An Si stood straight. His face was a little delicate and immature, but his expression was serious and almost rigid.

Whenever he met someone, he would faithfully and seriously speak ill of Su An: "Yes, that's right, my brother An saw it with his own eyes, Su An is a bewitching enchantress!"

"Even the prince couldn't resist her bewitching charm. Everyone must stay away from her!"

"...I really would thank you." Su An couldn't help but curl his lips, turning his head to glance at Fu Zhun beside him with a resentful look, "Is this your best arrangement?"

"Master, I haven't offended you, have I? Why are you still trying so hard to plot against me?"

Meeting her sarcastic and accusing gaze, Fu Zhun coughed lightly and said, "Nonsense. The secret guards are good at observation and concealment, and their skills are also quite good. They are the best to protect your shop."

"They have some prejudices against you, but if they really get to know you, they'll understand that you're not like that. Just relax."

Su An immediately closed his eyes in resignation.

Okay, okay, they are just two troublemakers. Since they have come to her shop, she will be able to discipline them as a matter of course in the future!

"It's time. Come on, I'll help you vent your anger."

Fu Zhun suddenly spoke in an ambiguous tone, then naturally took her hand and pushed the wheelchair out.

Su An frowned in confusion and followed closely. Soon, he was taken to the guillotine in the south of the city.

On the stage, more than a dozen people were tied tightly with thick ropes. Their faces were terrified, and they kept wailing or cursing.

"Please spare me! Please spare me, sir! I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again!"

"What's wrong with that? We didn't do anything! Why did you officials tie us up?"

"They are--" Su An widened his eyes, took a closer look, and recognized them instantly.

Aren’t these the most ruthless ones who took advantage of the chaos and robbed houses in the city?

She looked at Fu Zhun in surprise.

Fu Zhun had a stern posture, his drooping black robe fluttering in the wind, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes silently emanated a sense of iron and majesty.

He spoke in a deep voice, "There was no fault in the measures and methods you adopted to suppress the riots in the city earlier. It was only these rioters who led the riots that made the situation even more chaotic. I'm sorry you were wronged."

"Now, those who deserve punishment must be severely punished. This is a move to establish authority and deter villains." After a pause, he added, "It is also to support your revenge."

Looking at his cold profile, Su An was stunned, with the corners of his eyes slightly red.

It turns out he knew everything, no wonder he said he was venting her anger.

At this time, many people had gathered around. When they saw Fu Zhun and Su An, they all looked frightened and hurriedly made way for them. They all lowered their heads, too guilty to speak.

The people tied to the guillotine felt their hearts sank when they saw Su An, and they were certain that they had run into some kind of devil.

This is definitely a reckoning!

They immediately began to struggle frantically.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. Even if I am guilty, I do not deserve death!"

"I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home. Please show some mercy, Your Highness!"

Fu Zhun slowly scanned the crowd, his eyes as cold as stars, finally fixing on the several people who were tied up.

"When the city was in turmoil, you didn't think about protecting your homeland and country. Instead, you took advantage of the situation to loot, burn, kill, and plunder. You committed all kinds of evil. Your hands are stained with blood. You are no different from traitors and bandits."

"Today, the king will pronounce the sentence according to the law. You shall be punished."

Fu Zhun's face was as gloomy as water. He raised his hand slightly and coldly spat out a word: "Behead!"

The sound seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, making people feel terrified.

The executioners received the order and immediately raised their swords. Blood splattered everywhere and the heads of dozens of people rolled into the dust one by one.

"My God!"

The people in the audience were so frightened that they stepped back one after another, staring at Fu Zhun in horror, fearing that they would become one of the people on the guillotine in the next second.

"Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished, and the laws of the country are clear." Fu Zhun spoke in a low and powerful voice, like a huge bell exploding in everyone's ears.

"Fuyou County is a piece of land under the feet of the Son of Heaven, where the people live and work in peace and contentment. When the county was in trouble, it was His Majesty, concerned for the people, and with his mighty majesty, who personally ordered me to quell the rebellion. I will not tolerate any further violations of law and order."

"No matter who it is, if they dare to challenge the law and do something that harms the world, this will be their fate!"
