Chapter 84 The Emperor Has an Expert Around Him

The neighbor was originally in high spirits, but when he suddenly saw Wang An blocking his way, he grabbed Wang An without saying anything and walked towards the city, saying as he walked: "So you are the little miracle doctor, you didn't know yet? That damned Duke Cheng will be cut into pieces at Caishikou today!"

"Hiss~" Wang An took a breath, "So sudden! For what crime?"

The neighbor was speechless, but his happy expression did not diminish at all. He said, "Who knows? Anyway, this guy is not a good person. Just cut him into pieces. Why accuse him of any crime?"

"If we talk about the crimes, there are too many to count. He took away Li Erniang's daughter, sold grain at a very high price, and occupied the paddy fields in Shangwa Village. Those crimes are not enough to kill him!"

Wang An thought that this was true, but as a person who had lived two lives, his intuition would not be so simple.

After all, Zhu Chunchen was a hereditary duke for nine generations. In principle, as long as he did not offend the emperor or commit the serious crime of usurping the throne, it would be basically impossible for him to be seriously injured.

What's more, in his previous life, Zhu Chunchen had always lived well and was even highly regarded by Chongzhen.

It was not until the rebels entered the capital and saw the last will and testament of Emperor Chongzhen that they executed the shameless beast Zhu Chunchen, thus avenging Chongzhen.

Could it be because of the complaint I filed the day before yesterday?
However, as soon as this idea came up, Wang An immediately rejected it.

Although Wang An's act of filing a complaint with the emperor was indeed extremely bold, in the final analysis he was only accusing Zhu Chunchen of seizing the people's property.

If it happened to an ordinary official, or even a noble with a lower title, it might cause some trouble, but this might not be the case with Zhu Chunchen.

Even if we don't mention the high regard Chongzhen had for Zhu Chunchen in history, even if we only consider the contributions made by his ancestor Zhu Nengli, he would not have done anything to Zhu Chunchen.

Not to mention such severe punishments as being cut into pieces, which were generally only used on those who disobeyed the law or collaborated with the enemy.

For example, Yuan Dudu in history was convicted of treason and was executed by thousands of cuts.

The trajectory of history must have undergone changes that we are not aware of!

Wang An was worried. As a person who traveled through time to the lower class of the Ming Dynasty and had no system golden fingers to help him, knowing the direction of events in this world was Wang An's greatest advantage in this world.

Once you lose it, it's like a small boat accidentally entering the raging sea.

Struggling to survive is just standard, because you are afraid of being crushed to pieces if you are not careful, and you don’t know at whose hands you will die in the future.

Bandits, the imperial court, or perhaps wild boar skin?
Street friend Wang An arrived at Caishikou in a daze and was dragged to the outside of the execution ground to watch.

But this time I obviously didn’t arrive as early as last time, so I could only stand on the edge of the crowd and couldn’t see anything.

Wang An suddenly realized again that this was the second time in a short period of time that he had come to Caishikou to watch an execution. The last time was because of his father-in-law Zhou Kui.

In just less than a month, two nobles who would have survived in history, or who would have lived until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, died in an unbelievable way.

There may be coincidences in history, but can coincidences still happen in history that has already happened and is destined?
An inexplicable panic filled Wang An's heart. What the hell was going on?

Chongzhen, you must be a time traveler, right?
While Wang An was roaring in his heart, a strange feeling of excitement was also spreading.

Wang An has never been a racist, but if it can continue the glory of the Han nation, Wang An does not mind participating in it and making his own insignificant contribution.

We must get in touch with Chongzhen!

Wang An listened to Zhu Chunchen's heart-wrenching screams and secretly made up his mind!
On the way back, Wang An had been thinking about how to get in touch with Chongzhen, who was suspected to be his "colleague", and regretted that he had forgotten the "secret code" when he filed a complaint with the emperor last time. But when Wang An returned to the herbal medicine shop and saw his younger brother and his housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time, his eyes lit up.

"My dear brother! I miss you so much!" Wang An hugged Chongzhen and said excitedly, "Didn't you say last time that you and Wang Chengen can talk?"

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

He said awkwardly, "He is a senior eunuch. I am a son of a businessman and I cannot say that I have any say. I am just delivering a letter to him for the sake of Governor Yuan."

Wang An nodded in agreement and said, "After all, he is the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department and a favorite of the emperor. It would be great if you can have some connection with him!"

Wang An said, and suddenly said solemnly: "I ask you a favor..."

When “Little Liu Bowen” asked for something, how could Chongzhen refuse?
Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "We are all flesh and blood, so why bother asking for anything? As long as I can do it, you can ask for it."

Wang An then said embarrassedly: "I suspect that the current emperor is also the heir of my Mayi Sect!"

When these words were spoken, Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were both stunned.

Chongzhen laughed awkwardly and said, "This...isn't it?"

"Why not?" Wang An widened his eyes and looked around to see that there was no one around.

But he still felt a little unsafe, so he directly pulled Chongzhen into the store, and then whispered: "Zhu Chunchen was cut into pieces, did you know?"

Chongzhen looked proud and said, "I see. Brother, you don't have to worry about anyone causing trouble for you in the future."

"Whether he will cause trouble or not is secondary," Wang An said worriedly, "Do you still remember what I told you about Zhu Chunchen's final fate?"

Chongzhen gnashed his teeth when he heard this and said angrily, "How could I not remember! Such a treacherous villain who sold out his master for fame and fortune deserves to be beheaded in public by his new master!"

Wang An nodded and said, "That's it. Zhu Chunchen should have died at the hands of the bandits, but now the emperor has ordered him to be cut into pieces. Don't you find it strange?"

"Not only that, there is also the father-in-law Zhou Kui. He should have lived until the Jianlu entered the pass, but he died early under the emperor's sword!"

"This is completely contrary to the destiny I calculated. It doesn't make sense! There is only one explanation, that is, the current emperor is also a member of my Mai Sect! Or..."

Chongzhen and Wang Chengen both became nervous and asked anxiously, "Or what?"

"The emperor has a master like me around him!" Wang An said solemnly.

Chongzhen and Wang Chengen looked at each other and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chongzhen felt inexplicably amused and thought to himself, "Brother is right, but the expert is you! Haha."

But on the surface, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Now that the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, wouldn't it be a good thing if the emperor had a master like a brother by his side?"

Wang An nodded, "I didn't say it was a bad thing, it's just that people of the same trade always want to get to know each other..."
