Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

He pounced forward like a fierce lion.

An Wu also went forward without fear.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged five or six moves.

The knives in their hands collided and entangled with each other like dew and lightning, and then staggered away from each other in the next second, turning to bite each other again like poisonous snakes.

"Stop fighting!" An Si was so upset by what he saw, and seeing that no one was listening, he joined the battle to stop the two men.

For a moment, the scene became even more chaotic.

The fight is good and brilliant, and it makes a big splash!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su An slipped away, but he didn't expect that he would bump into Li Wanyue after running only two steps.

As soon as they met, Li Wanyue immediately frowned in disgust, gnashing her teeth and sneering, "You witch! Fu Zhun will soon be forced to confess to a fabricated crime, and then commit suicide miserably, bearing the infamy!"

"You've hurt him so badly, are you happy? If I were you, I would find a deserted place and bang my head against the wall to die, so as not to harm more people!"

"You're the witch! I was clearly victimized too! If you have the ability, go deal with He Cheng! What's the point of just yelling?"

Su An felt depressed. It was true that she had implicated Fu Zhun, but that was not what she wanted!

If possible, she would rather die in place of Fu Zhun!

Li Wanyue gritted her teeth and suddenly a tear flowed from her eyes.

"Do you think I don't want to save him? But..."

After saying this, she began to sob, looking extremely sad.

Su An was stunned by her crying. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly remembered what she had not said.

But if the king wants his subject to die, he must die. Although Li Wanyue is the daughter of a duke, she is also a subject. She dare not resist the imperial power, and will not gamble with her family.

"Okay, stop crying, it's bad luck! Li Wanyue, I want to save Fu Zhun, take me to see him quickly!" Su An said with a stern face.

"Oh!" Li Wanyue still had tears on her face, but she suddenly showed a sarcastic smile.

"This is really like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken! You, a witch, are also trying to save people. I think you want to join that traitor in harming others, right?"

"Li Wanyue!" Su An used a lot of strength to suppress his anger and not slap him on the spot: "Whether you believe it or not, I did go to save people, but if you say a few more words of nonsense here, Fu Zhun's body might be cold!"

Li Wanyue was suddenly choked. She glared at Su An fiercely, but still agreed.

"Miss Su! Where are you?"

Su An's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he quickly took two steps at a time and slipped into Li Wanyue's carriage.

At this time, Jian Wu had also caught up, but after looking around, he could not see Su An.

"Ms. Li, did you see which direction Su An ran to just now?"

Hearing this, Li Wanyue glanced inconspicuously at the carriage parked at the corner, then pointed in the opposite direction without changing her expression.

Jian Wu was in a hurry and didn't think much about it. He immediately used his lightness skills to fly over.

Li Wanyue immediately got on the carriage and shouted to the driver, "Hurry up, I want to see the prince!"

The carriage took the two people to the scene immediately, and Su An breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much for what you did just now!"

Li Wanyue glared at her resentfully, then sneered, "You should thank someone else. You're a weak woman without any martial arts skills, yet you managed to escape from the sword guards. I'm afraid they also wanted to save the prince."

Su An was stunned, then suddenly realized.

No wonder she escaped so easily, it turns out everyone was releasing water into the sea!

At this time, An Wu discovered Su An's figure, and then quietly followed them.

Jian Wu searched around in the direction Li Wanyue pointed, but naturally found nothing. She returned to the clinic and pressed her calloused hands heavily on the table.

"An Yi, are you crazy? What on earth do you want to do? Don't you think the current situation is chaotic enough?"

"Stop scolding me here, Jianwu! I'm doing all this for us!"

An Yi tightly gripped the cold knife in his hand, his face sinister.

His words immediately made Jian Wu frown, and he looked An Yi up and down: "What do you mean by that?"

"Jian Wu, the situation has come to this now. Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?" An Yi slowly lifted his thin eyelids, his cold eyes like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

"As the master's right-hand men, we have long shared the master's success and failure!"

"Have you ever thought about what we would do if our master admitted to those trumped-up charges? Would we surrender as well?"

Bang!

An Yi supported himself with both hands, his tall figure like a towering mountain pressing down on Jian Wu. His eyes, which had usually been cold and dark, now had a rare bright and cold light.

"The Emperor will never let us go. Once our master is convicted, we will die even faster than him!"

Ah!

An Yi straightened up slowly and looked down at Jian Wu coldly: "Do you want to die?"

Without waiting for Jian Wu to respond, he slowly turned to look at An Si: "Or do you want to die?"

Are you kidding? Who would want to die young as long as they can still live?

And what a miserable way to die.

The young boy An Si's face turned red, and everyone in the room was silent for a moment.

They are all a group of smart and powerful people, but at this moment they are uneasy and confused about the future and don't know where to go.

They hurried all the way, and by the time Su An and Li Wanyue arrived at the scene, they were already covered in a thin layer of sweat.

On the high platform, Fu Zhun, who always dressed neatly and meticulously, took off his black robe and only wore a thin undershirt, looking indifferently at the edict of repentance in his hand.

Ah!

A cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This criminal minister has not only disobeyed Your Majesty, but also falsely reported Your Majesty's intentions, formed a clique for personal gain, appointed people based on personal connections, and enriched himself. This is the height of treason."

"He also secretly raised a private army and hoarded armor, with ill intentions and plotting rebellion—"

"I never thought that the dignified King of Zhenbei would actually forge an imperial decree and even form a clique for personal gain? Pah, I hate this kind of corrupting political clique the most in my life!"

"It's so infuriating, so infuriating! It turns out that the King of Zhenbei is a corrupt official! He used to pretend to be so upright and honest, it's really disgusting!"

"Haha! The country is unstable, the people are already living such a hard life, and the King of Zhenbei is actually raising troops to rebel! He's simply a beast!"

The people present grew increasingly angry as they listened to the accusations. No one knew who had started it, but by the time they realized what was happening, a dirty vegetable leaf had already hit Fu Zhun's shoulder.

"Smash it! Everyone, smash it together! Smash to death this bastard who doesn't care about the lives of the people, only enriches himself and still wants to rebel!"

As soon as these words came out, countless vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and decayed fruits rained down on Fu Zhun.

Su An watched this scene with his own eyes, feeling sour and bitter in his heart, and extremely uncomfortable.

"You idiots! These charges are completely fabricated!" Li Wanyue looked at Fu Zhun, who was once second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and saw him fall into such a predicament. Her face flushed with anger. "Stop it, all of you!"

However, no one paid any attention to her.

Just as Li Wanyue was about to scold again, the rain of rotten vegetables suddenly stopped.

It turned out that it was Su An who walked up to the platform.

"My fellow citizens, I won't comment on the truth or falsehood of these most important things! I'll only tell you what I know!"

This sentence successfully calmed down the people who wanted to riot again.

"Two months ago, a severe drought struck the north, leaving thousands of miles of barren land and corpses strewn across the ground. Fu Zhun was given the task at hand. After arriving in Jizhou, he worked tirelessly through the night, devoting himself to providing relief to the victims and developing water conservancy projects, saving countless lives!"

As soon as these words came out, the people's impetuous expressions silently settled, and everyone's eyes fell on Fu Zhun.

"When the county was building a road, the Qingzhou prefect colluded with Lu Shiye to embezzle the funds. When they were discovered, they led their troops to besiege the city and threatened to slaughter the entire city with rockets. The city was filled with weeping. It was Fu Zhun who rushed day and night and killed these rebels, saving the lives of the entire city."

Things that happened locally, and not long ago, are naturally more deeply engraved in the minds of the people.

Many people didn't even dare to look at Fu Zhun again. They thought of the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs they had just thrown away, and a silent sense of regret welled up in their hearts.

"The victims poured into Fuyou County, all starving and emaciated. It was Fu Zhun who led the team to set up porridge stalls and distribute food. Seeing that the victims had no means of livelihood, he took me with him to teach them various delicious recipes. It was even with his support that we were able to build a food street..."

At this point, Su An was clearly trying to control his emotions, but his voice was still choked.

"Has everyone forgotten all this?"

No, how could they forget?

How could the King of Zhenbei, who has done so much good deeds and worked so hard for the people, possibly pocket the money for himself?

How is it possible to form a clique and appoint people based on personal connections?

They were deceived, and the edict of apology was clearly nonsense.

"Slander! This is blatant slander!"

A tall young man strode out of the crowd.

"Everyone! The prince must have been wronged!"

"Your Majesty, we were wrong. We shouldn't have believed this fabricated edict of apology and ignored your character!"

There was a loud splash!

An old man knelt down hard!

In an instant, it was like a rainstorm, and the people under the platform knelt down one after another.

They kowtowed heavily, and when they raised their heads again, their burning eyes shone with excitement: "Long live the prince! Long live the prince!"

It was originally a crusade against Fu Zhun, but after Su An's heartfelt defense, it turned into a warm admiration for Fu Zhun.

After witnessing this scene, He Cheng's happy and complacent face instantly turned ashen.

He deliberately chose the fifth floor of the inn next to the platform so that he could be the first to see Fu Zhun's miserable appearance as he fell from the altar.

But what he never expected was that the result was completely different from what he imagined!

He dragged Su Yue out of the room, grabbed her neck and threw her out of the window.

"Su An!" he shouted.

Su An subconsciously looked up and saw that her little sister's whole body was hanging outside the window, with only her slender neck pressed against the window frame.

The small body was shaking violently, swaying uncontrollably from side to side when the wind blew, as thin as a tile that could fall at any time.

"Xiao Yue'er!" Su An suddenly felt as if his soul was about to burst out. With a pale face, he ran towards the inn desperately.

But he was stopped by He Cheng's men.

"He Cheng! I have already issued an edict of repentance as you said. Don't make things difficult for the Su family. If you have anything to say, just come to me!"

Fu Zhun pulled Su An behind him, his eyes dark and cold.

"Su An, you bitch! How dare you ruin my plan? I'm going to throw your little sister down now!"

"No, don't!" Su An was sweating all over in an instant, his knees went weak and he sat down on the ground.

"Miss!"

Su Yue suppressed her fear and didn't even dare to cry out loud. She could only sob softly and call out to Su An.

When Su An saw this scene, she felt her heart break. Her back couldn't help but hunch, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Please, don't throw it away! I really beg you!"
