Chapter 500

In order to avoid revealing clues, Mrs. Zhou had not known about Zhou Mu's still alive. In recent days, she had been too worried and her body was still weak.

Seeing that she was staggering while walking, Zhou Mu saluted Qi Yan and Chen Wan, then followed closely to support her.

Even his own sister didn't care about him. Jiang Cong lost hope, his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground.

For all Jiang Cong's crimes, Qi Yan ordered that he be punished by being cut in half. Tomorrow at noon, he will be publicly questioned and beheaded.

It turned out that the regent had already seen clues in him, and secretly sent Cang Yishuo to intercept and kill the pirate leader, pretending to be a pirate himself, and used his plan.

The bloody corpse whose appearance was unclear was the real pirate leader.

He knew that the regent was not easy to fool, but he didn't expect that even though he was cautious, he would still be seen through at a glance.

At this point, Jiang Cong can only admit it.

It was probably his unlucky thing, but it happened to be the regent who came this time. If it were Shen Shangshu, he would have been successfully promoted and made a fortune by now.

People who are greedy for life and afraid of death are naturally afraid of pain. They don't want to be smashed with eggs, they don't want to face the reviling of the people in the city, and they don't want to be cut in half by a big guillotine on the execution platform.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the small iron window into the cell, Jiang Cong faced the light and bit his tongue to commit suicide in fear of guilt.

The bad guys are punished, and the heroes are naturally rewarded.

Zhou Mu has been in office for many years and has always been loyal to his duties. He is also a rare good official who can truly have a clear mind.

The people in the Jiangnan area loved him. If he were transferred to another place, firstly, the people would not be willing, and secondly, Zhou Mu himself would have to leave his hometown with his wife and children.

Having lived here for a long time, Zhou Mu has long been accustomed to the climate and customs here. Even the prosperous capital city, Zhou Mu has no special yearning for it.

But in the Jiangnan area, the county governor is the largest official in the area, and there is no room for improvement in his position. When asked if there is anything he wants.

Zhou Mu, who has always had a calm mind, unexpectedly gave a shocking answer.

"What I have done is all my responsibility. I shouldn't ask for any reward from the prince. But since the prince has asked, I have a merciless request. Can you please,"

Feeling that what he wanted was really hard to say, Zhou Mu was torn in his heart, pursed his lips, and hesitated several times before speaking. After some hesitation, he still had the courage to speak out.

"My lord, can you give me some silver? I would like to make some new clothes for my wife, buy some decent jewelry, and also want to take her to taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas."

Jiang Cong was indeed a bastard, but when he begged for mercy, he said a few words that reached Zhou Mu's heart.

His wife has been with him all these years and has not enjoyed many blessings, but has suffered a lot.

The more virtuous and considerate she was without mentioning anything, the more Zhou Mu felt in his heart that he owed her something.

It is said that it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. After serving as an official for decades, he believed that he was worthy of the country and the people, but he could not live up to his wife who would never leave him.

Busy with government affairs, he rarely had time to spend time with her, nor could he give her a wealthy and material life.

And she has always taken care of all the affairs of the family quietly by herself, never complaining.

You are not young anymore, your whole life goes by in the blink of an eye, and you don’t even know when an accident will happen suddenly.

He hoped that while there was still a chance, he could compensate her as much as possible.

It was so embarrassing for Zhou Mu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said his words, both the Prince Regent and the Princess Regent were amused by him.

There was something else he didn't see.

Behind him, Mrs. Zhou, who was walking to the door, heard his words, covered her mouth and snickered, and quietly retreated before being discovered.

"That's right. Mr. Zhou has contributed to disaster relief and will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold."

Zhou Mu was still regretting it, feeling that maybe he shouldn't have said it directly, but Qi Yan readily agreed.

100 taels?Or gold?

Zhou Mu was shocked. He came to his senses and quickly waved his hand to refuse, "No, no, no, this is too much, I can't use it..." So much.

Before the governor finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Yan.

"Corrupt officials are all intoxicated with money. There is no reason for the imperial court to make life extremely difficult for honest officials. From now on, Mr. Zhou's salary will be increased by ten taels of silver per month."

"Ah?" Zhou Mu was so flattered that his tongue was tied and he didn't know what to say.

If he hadn't had a clear conscience, he would have felt that the prince was speaking sarcastically, and he might be dismissed from his post and investigated next.
