Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Peony, why on earth did you do this? Why did you betray me?"

He Cheng, who was like a trapped beast, had veins bulging on his neck. He roared in anger and stared at Mudan.

If Mudan had not suddenly rebelled, he would not have failed!

He is not willing!

"Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's wrath?!"

Hearing this, Mudan's face twitched slightly, and it was obvious that she was also afraid of death.

If possible, she wouldn't want to do this, but...

"You forced me to do all this! I was just trying to stay alive, so I was forced to obey your orders. But you're really going too far..."

Having said that, Mudan's face showed anger, and her eyes were as sharp as knives as she looked at him with disgust.

"You absolutely shouldn't have asked me to poison a well and murder a group of people just to fight for power!"

what?

Su An's eyes widened in shock. He Cheng was truly a lunatic. To harm her and Fu Zhun, he was actually going to poison the entire city?!

"So what? They are just a group of untouchables. It is their honor to die for Your Majesty!" He Cheng didn't think he was wrong at all. He even felt that the reason for Mudan's betrayal was simply unreasonable.

Mudan was furious after hearing this. She raised her sword and shouted angrily, "You think they are pariahs, but I don't. In my heart, there is no distinction between noble and humble. The lives of ordinary people are also lives! Why should I die for that tyrant?"

"Well said!" Su An, who had just come to his senses, was so angry when he heard what Mudan said that he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The peony at this moment is truly amazing!

It is incredible that an ancient person living under a feudal system already had the concept of equality for all in his mind.

"He Cheng, you seem to have forgotten that you were once just a pariah in your own words!" Fu Zhun's deep pupils were cold, and his expression was full of sarcasm.

"That's right, you ungrateful villain!" Su An snorted with contempt, and his strong curiosity took over again.

She wanted to know what was going on?

So he turned and looked at Fu Zhun.

"Mudan came to me and told me about He Cheng's plot to poison the entire city. It just so happened that He Cheng had captured your family at that time, so I took advantage of his plan. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."

Fu Zhun explained with a smile, confident of victory.

It seemed very simple to hear him say this, but Su An could imagine the danger involved and was moved.

Bang!

After seeing He Cheng being taken away, Mudan suddenly knelt down at Fu Zhun's feet.

Su An was stunned.

Fu Zhun also raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are you doing?"

"Your Highness, Mudan is guilty. She shouldn't have followed He Cheng's orders and poisoned the well, murdering the people! Your Highness, please punish her severely!"

"Mudan, this has nothing to do with you. This is all He Cheng's fault, and you were forced into it."

Su An said, and stood up to pull Mudan, with a serious and earnest look on his face: "In my opinion, you are innocent! You must not put other people's mistakes on yourself!"

Seeing that Fu Zhun really didn't seem to be in the mood to ask for punishment, Mudan followed Su An's movements and stood up.

"Su An, you think I'm innocent, but that tyrant king doesn't think so. Now that I've betrayed him, he will definitely not let me go!"

Su An was silent for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "That dog emperor will die a miserable death sooner or later!"

But Peony just smiled bitterly.

"You can rest assured. From now on, you are under my command. As long as I am here, no one in this vast world dares to touch you."

Fu Zhun leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, his eyes extremely calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

Mudan was overjoyed when he heard this, because he knew that Fu Zhun had this ability.

She immediately knelt on one knee again, and said solemnly and seriously: "Thank you, King Zhenbei, for your protection. Mudan is very grateful!"

Another day or two passed like this, during which time Fu Zhun had people collect all the crimes that He Cheng had committed.

He Ben was originally guilty of many crimes, and after careful searching and investigation, it was found that the crimes he had committed were too numerous to list.

After reading it, Su An felt angry and disgusted, so he helped Fu Zhun's men post notices, telling the people that they would publicly deal with He Cheng.

When that day came, He Cheng was pushed onto the punishment platform, and the platform was packed with people.

They all whispered to each other, wondering what crime He Cheng had committed.

Fu Zhun directly asked someone to read the indictment.

"After He Cheng graduated from high school, he abandoned Miss Su, who had helped him for many years. Later, fearing that his story of abandonment would spread further, he resorted to brutally murdering Miss Su."

"Now, in order to fight for power and profit, they have kidnapped Miss Su's family and forced the Prince of Zhenbei to commit suicide in public. These evil deeds are appalling..."

what?

When the people heard this, they were all shocked.

"He Cheng?! This bastard is so good! I've heard about his past deeds a long time ago. Now it seems that he is simply not a human being!"

"If I had a son like that, I would rather drown myself in a piss pot!"

"That's right! I've lived half my life and have never seen such an ungrateful, insidious and vicious person! I'll smash you to death, you bastard!" An aunt excitedly took out the vegetable leaves in the basket.

"Smash him to death, smash this bastard to death!"

As soon as the aunt said this, many people started touching things and smashing whatever they came across.

All of a sudden, rotten vegetable leaves, broken bowls, and even small stones were thrown at He Cheng.

He Cheng was hit so hard that his nose and face were bruised and swollen, and there was a big cut on his forehead. He screamed in pain and angrily insulted the people.

Looking at this familiar scene, Su An couldn't help but think of the scene where Fu Zhun was hit on the high platform. For a moment, he felt extremely ironic in his heart.

The people are stupid and their minds are still undeveloped, making them extremely easy to be manipulated.

There is still a long way to go in educating the people in the future!

By the time the indictment was finished, the sun was already high in the sky. Fu Zhun looked indifferently at the disheveled He Cheng.

"This crime is unforgivable. You must be publicly executed according to the laws of this dynasty!"

The executioner immediately walked up to He Cheng with a long knife in hand.

When the people saw this scene, they all cheered, and some even shouted excitedly.

"Kill, kill, kill this beast!"

"Hahaha!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, He Cheng not only did not feel scared, but instead suddenly raised his head high and laughed out loud with an arrogant look on his face.

"Fu Zhun, you want to kill me, but you don't have the qualifications! You are just a prince, but I am the emperor's envoy. I represent the emperor!"

Hearing his words, the people below were instantly in an uproar.

Such a wicked person is actually the emperor's messenger. It's scary to death!
