Chapter 452 Gao Yun's Revenge

August 7th is White Dew.

The Beginning of Autumn has long passed, and now it is the White Dew. The weather is still hot during the day, but when the sun sets, the night will suddenly turn cool.

Today, the gauze on Aunt Jing's face and body has been completely removed, and the scars are no longer covered.

The burn scar was different from the others. It left a large, dark red, uneven mark on the right cheek. The marks were uneven where the skin had been broken, and looked particularly hideous at first glance.

Although the scars on the arms and body are not visible, as expected, although the bones of the right arm are not injured, the muscles are damaged. Although the arm and hand can move, they are no longer flexible and can not exert much strength.

For this reason, Zhou Chang was afraid that Aunt Jing would look in the mirror.

However, after staring at herself in the mirror for a while, Aunt Jing said nothing and just sighed deeply.

Does this count as acceptance?

Zhou Chang was not sure, but seeing that there were people surrounding him in the room and Aunt Jing had no intention of avoiding people, he felt a little relieved.

Yes, why didn’t Yuan Qi come today?

Zhou Chang looked around and realized that one person was missing.

Ever since Aunt Jing was seriously injured, Yuan Qi came to visit her almost every day, and stayed with her as long as possible.

Today is the big day when Aunt Jing completely removes the gauze, but for some reason Yuan Qi is not there.

After confirming that Aunt Jing was fine, Zhou Chang chatted with her for a while, then left with the skinny boy.

"Do you know what the princess is busy with today?" The two walked from the back hall to the study, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the east courtyard.

The thin monkey thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the princess has been very busy these days. From time to time, accountants and shop owners come over and seem to be doing some accounting."

Zhou Chang stopped unconsciously and looked into the courtyard of the front hall. It didn't look like the shopkeeper was coming in or out.

The thin monkey said, "Since Your Majesty wants to know, you can just go in and ask now that you are at the door. Anyway, I can confirm that the princess has not left home in the past few days."

"No..." If Yuan Qi was really busy, Zhou Chang didn't want to disturb him at this time, "Mr. Zhong just said he had something to discuss, so let's go back to the study first."

As he spoke, he turned to the study room separated by a wall.

Zhou Chang had just sat down behind the desk in the study when Zhong Yujiu came in hurriedly, his face pale again.

Zhou Chang hurriedly asked Zhong Yu to sit down: "Is there anything else?"

Zhong Yu sat down and said before he could catch his breath: "Gao Yun, Gao Yun has a letter. I just finished reading it with Gao Yuan..."

"A letter from Gao Yun?" Zhou Chang immediately thought of ** Hong.

Zhong Yu nodded and took an effort to catch his breath. "The letter is to Gao Yuan. It says that they killed the local prefect, which is considered revenge for Brother Ma."

"Ah?" Zhou Chang was surprised. "Is this written directly in the letter?"

"Ah, yes..." ** Hong's revenge was taken, but Zhong Yu sighed instead, "Of course, what was written was the secret code they had agreed on beforehand, but the meaning couldn't be wrong."

"This..." Zhou Chang had never expected this. Killing an imperial official was a huge matter. "Gao Yun, did Gao Yun do it alone? Is he okay? Has he been exposed?"

Zhong Yu's complexion recovered a little, but he frowned again: "Gao Yun's letter didn't say so much, it was just a child coming to announce the good news. But I guess he couldn't do it alone, after all, half of the people in Yidanxing are there now. Gao Yuan said that letters from other people in Yidanxing should arrive in the next two days, and we will know more detailed information then."

"If everyone is safe and they have avenged themselves, it is indeed cause for celebration." Zhou Chang said this, but he was not happy at all, as his worry outweighed his joy.

"Oh, I was too impulsive, too impulsive... This is really inappropriate, inappropriate. If nothing happens, it's fine. But if something happens and it involves the prince, what should I do?" Zhong Yu probably felt the same way as Zhou Chang, and he didn't even care about being happy for his classmate.

"Where is Gao Yuan?" Zhou Chang couldn't think of any other solution. "If they are in the limelight, why not let them withdraw temporarily to stabilize the situation?"

Since the prefect deserved the punishment, he could be killed. It was surprising that Yidanxing had the ability to do this.

"Not right, not right..." Zhong Yu shook his head and replied, "I've urged Gao Yuan to reply to the letter. Everything should be kept stable. Even if there is any disturbance, he can't come back. If he withdraws now, won't it arouse more suspicion?"

"You are right, sir." Zhou Chang nodded repeatedly and added, "However, now that Mr. Ma has been avenged, why don't you also inform his family? I don't know if the money I sent last time is enough, so why not send another one?"

"Not right, not right," Zhong Yu disagreed, "That sum of money is already enough. According to the court's decision, if a second-rank official dies in the line of duty, he will only receive 600 taels of compensation. In Brother Ma's case, since he is my classmate, I have already had selfish motives. Giving more may cause trouble."

"A life is not worth too much money, not to mention that we are more capable now than before." Zhou Chang is no longer worried about making money, and can be more generous. "Another five hundred taels is not too much, just don't let more people know."

"This..." Zhong Yu was still hesitant.

"That's it." Zhou Chang insisted.

Zhong Yu had no choice but to stand up and bowed solemnly: "Then I, on behalf of Brother Ma's family, would like to thank His Majesty."

"What are you thanking me for? It's a life." Zhou Chang felt upset. What else could she do for someone who died without her ever meeting him?

The skinny monkey who had been unable to intervene said, "Gao Yun, this kid, he is not even 18 years old this year, right? I didn't expect him to be more aggressive than Brother Gao. I really didn't expect that he would dare to kill people after only being out there for such a short time."

Zhou Chang also agreed: "Whether he did it himself or not, even if he participated in it, he can still be considered a young hero, right? It seems that it was right to let him go out and gain experience."

"The young hero may be too arrogant. Your Majesty, please don't say that to his face in the future, so as not to encourage his arrogance." Zhong Yu used to be a half-teacher to Gao Yun. "However, Gao Yun has always been smarter than his brother. Because of his intelligence, he inevitably loses his steadiness."

Zhou Chang felt that if he was not an "old soul" with memories of two lives, he would not be as steady as he is now, so he did not hesitate to praise him: "His age is there. With a few more years of experience, he will definitely become more and more steady. Perhaps in the future, Gao Yun's achievements will surpass Gao Yuan."

"Your Highness is right. It is always good to have more experience. Gao Yun is smart and hardworking. If he is willing to continue to hone his skills, he will definitely surpass his brother in the future." Zhong Yu also expressed his affirmation.

Zhou Chang praised Gao Yun, so he couldn't forget Gao Yuan, so he asked casually: "Gao Yun has been running wild outside, and Gao Yuan missed him but he didn't come back. I wonder what his attitude would be if he knew about his brother and Liu E's affair?"
