MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 142

The next person went to inform Li Yuchang, and Gu Jiusi took advantage of this time to get hot water and enter the room to prepare for bathing and changing.

Gu Jiusi was sitting at the table while the servant was pouring hot water. He stared at the paper and confessed. These were all confessions made by Wang Siyuan. This list, up and down, covers almost the entire Xingyang officials. It can be seen that behind the officials of Xingyang, there are local families in Xingyang. They have worked **** this land for generations, cultivating children from childhood to be sent to the officialdom, and then the children will feed the family back.

Wang, Chen, Zhao, Li.

Four families control almost all the official positions and industries in Yongzhou, and the officials of Yongzhou all depend on these families to exist.

Fortunately, they all had contacts with the Wang family.

Will they allow it?

Gu Jiusi exhaled heavily, Liu Yuru came into the room with Jiang Tang, and when she heard Gu Jiusi exhale, she walked over to him and said gently, "What are you worrying about?"

Speaking, she glanced at the confession on the table, handed him the **** soup, Gu Jiusi drank the **** soup, Liu Yuru stood behind him, kneaded his shoulders for him and said: " Is this confession difficult?"

"Hard."

Gu Jiusi said directly: "I know that officials in Xingyang are difficult to handle, but I never thought that there are so many. If all these officials are done, Xingyang will be in chaos."

Liu Yuru kneaded his shoulders and said slowly, "Then what are you going to do?"

Gu Jiusi didn't say anything, Liu Yuru continued, "I can't really do it?"

"Wang Siyuan's sin must be settled."

Speaking, Gu Jiusi closed his eyes: "Only when Wang Siyuan's crime is convicted can Shen Ming survive."

"What about the others?"

Gu Jiusi did not speak.

Let these officials escape easily, and they can't stay in Yongzhou for a lifetime. After he and Li Yuchang leave, these people will make a comeback soon, and Yongzhou will not have any changes.

Yes, what should I do?

There are so many people, who will do the work after finishing the work, and the people who come to do the work must do better than them?

And so many people are moved, who will execute it?

Gu Jiusi closed his eyes, he was a little tired. When the hot water was ready, Liu Yuru reminded him, Gu Jiusi nodded, stood up, and went into the clean room to take a shower.

Liu Yuru sat at the table and took the confession given by Shen Ming, she watched silently for a while. She knew Gu Jiusi's concerns. After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Jiusi came out of the clean room, and Liu Yuru said, "Actually, there is no need to deal with it."

Liu Yuru pondered and said: "This case is too broad, you can apply for an amnesty to Dongdu, and for those who are not involved in the murder case, just pay a fine. In this way, money can solve the problem. The problem, we don't have to draw the sword."

Gu Jiusi didn't speak, he listened to Liu Yuru's suggestion, Liu Yuru thought eagerly, and continued: "The autumn season is coming soon, after this scientific examination, there will be many more people in the imperial court. It's time to step down from those officials who paid fines. This way, boil the frogs in warm water, step by step, and it's not easy to go wrong."

Gu Jiu thought about it, and Liu Yuru actually said the same thing as he thought.

It is unrealistic to clean up so many officials at one time. The only way is to deal with the worst batch first, and then gradually clean up.

It's just that he didn't think about asking the other party to pay. After hesitating for a while, he said: "If you pay, the people will not accept it."

For the common people, if they sacrifice their lives with money, the justice and majesty of the law will be lost.

Liu Yuru nodded: "Indeed, you can discuss with Mr. Li about the specifics. But this amnesty, I'm afraid we must ask for it."

Gu Jiusi responded: "I'll transfer Sizhou's troops and horses first. When the time comes, I will use both kindness and power. There should be other ways."

The two were talking, and a message came from outside, saying that Li Yuchang had arrived. Gu Jiusi hurriedly put on his jacket and rushed out.

Li Yuchang was waiting for Gu Jiusi in the study. After Gu Jiusi entered the door, he saluted Li Yuchang: "Master Li."

"What can I do?"

Li Yuchang looked calm, Gu Jiusi dismissed the servants, and Tong Munan ordered everyone to be expelled, and then patrolled left and right to confirm that there was no place for any Tibetans before closing the door.

"What's the need for this?"

Li Yuchang frowned, Gu Jiusi leaned against the door, and whispered, "I found Shen Ming last night."

Li Yuchang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately and asked anxiously, "Where's Wang Siyuan?"

"Dead."

Hearing this, Li Yuchang took a deep breath: "He's crazy!"

"He got the evidence." Gu Jiusi whispered, "Wang Siyuan recruited a lot of people, and with his confession, we can have reasons to put all of them in jail. After they are in prison, we will examine them carefully. other evidence."

"How many?"

Li Yuchang spoke directly, Gu Jiusi whispered: "Eighth rank and above two hundred and thirty-one."

The entire number of officials in Xingyang is only close to three hundred. Hearing this number, Li Yuchang fell silent. Gu Jiusi looked up at him: "What do you think, Master Li?"

"I have to go back to Dongdu."

Li Yuchang said directly: "This matter is not something you and I can solve."

"Can't go back."

Gu Jiusi resolutely said: "Shen Ming has already killed Wang Siyuan, and the officials in Xingyang must be full of grass and trees at this moment. If we have any changes, they are afraid that they will do it. If you go back to Dongdu, that is to tell them directly about you. Now that you have the evidence and know you are not capable of this case, do you think they will let us go?"

Li Yuchang fell silent, Gu Jiusi continued: "I have already ordered to go to Sizhou to transfer troops, Your Majesty has long thought of the current situation, and prepared troops and horses in Sizhou. Within four days, Sizhou soldiers will be dispatched. The horses should arrive. We will wait for four days, and when the Sizhou troops arrive, we can directly take Xingyang and start the case."

"Is this His Majesty's order?"

"I have the Sword of the Son of Heaven."

Having these words, Li Yuchang thought about it, and finally said: "Then what are your plans now?"

"You pretend you don't know about it." Gu Jiusi continued, "Continue to handle the case, I will continue to look for Shen Ming, just wait for four days—"

Gu Jiusi raised his eyes to look at Li Yuchang, Li Yuchang instantly understood: "Sizhou troops and horses entered Xingyang."

After Gu Jiusi and Li Yuchang discussed, Li Yuchang thought about it and finally said, "Where is Shen Ming?"

"I don't know."

Gu Jiusi lowered his eyes: "I only hope now that he is all right."

After Gu Jiusi and Li Yuchang discussed it, it was convenient for them to go back separately. Li Yuchang continued to try Fu Baoyuan's case, and Gu Jiusi sent people to look for Shen Ming everywhere.

In the afternoon of that day, the Wang family found the place where Wang Siyuan was last executed, and then found Wang Siyuan's body along the blood trail. The corpse was burned by Shen Ming until only a skeleton remained, and his identity could only be confirmed based on the location of the socket where one tooth was missing. After the Wang family determined that this was Wang Siyuan, they invited several other family members to come to the door and blocked the door of Gu Jiusi's house, saying that they wanted to seek justice.

They stood at the door making a fuss, Gu Jiusi didn't go out, Li Yuchang stood at the door, like a door god, listening to the Wang family's anger.

"Master Li, Gu Jiusi committed murder and murder, and he killed a senior official of the fourth-rank court. You must call the shots for us."

Wang Shusheng was wearing sackcloth with a white cloth on his head, and said with red eyes: "Today, Gu Jiusi must be taken into custody, and Shen Ming must be brought back to find out, otherwise we will not leave!"

"Yes!" The others stood behind and shouted together, "Don't go! Justice, we want justice!"

"Evidence." Li Yuchang looked indifferent, Wang Shusheng was stunned: "What?"

"You said Gu Jiusi committed murder, evidence." Li Yuchang explained earnestly, Wang Shusheng suddenly became angry: "Shen Ming is his, Shen Ming killed people, is it not evidence? We are so many The guard watched Shen Ming arrest people, today my father's body...corpse..."

Wang Shusheng's voice was choked, and the people next to him quickly relieved, Wang Shusheng slowed down, and finally said: "My father is also sure to die, so, isn't it enough to catch Gu Jiusi?"

"Master Li," the housekeeper Wang He said, "Shen Ming stays with Gu Jiusi on weekdays, and obeys Gu Jiusi's command in everything. It is too far-fetched to say that they are not masters and servants."

"You said they were masters and servants," Li Yuchang looked up at Wang He, "evidence."

Wang He was choked. Wang Shusheng took a step forward and shouted angrily: "Li Yuchang, why are you so messed up with such a matter of course, do you still want me to prove that my father is my father?"

"Isn't it necessary?"

Li Yuchang frowned: "Everything needs proof. If you want to confirm that you and Mr. Wang are biological father and son, don't you need proof?"

These words made Wang Shusheng unable to breathe, Li Yuchang stood in front of the door, put his hands in front of him, and said calmly: "I, Li, do things, according to the law, and demonstrate evidence. Do things with your heart, I suspect that you are all related to Fu Baoyuan's case, can you all be detained?"

Everyone stopped talking, and after a while, Li Yuchang continued: "Gu Jiusi does have a relationship with Shen Ming, but this is not enough to prove that Gu Jiusi ordered Shen Ming to kill Lord Wang, and now Gu Jiusi is still there Looking for Shen Ming, instead of spending time fighting with me here, you might as well go and capture Shen Ming, and when Shen Ming comes back, everything will come to light."

These words made everyone look at each other. After a while, Wang He slowly said: "Lord Li's words are also reasonable."

"The most important thing now," Wang He sneaked a glance at Wang Shusheng and whispered, "It should be to find Shen Ming."

Wang Shusheng pursed his lips, and after a while, he raised his hand and saluted Li Yuchang, then turned around and led the people away in a hurry.

Wang He walked with Wang Shusheng on the road, Wang He whispered: "Looking at Li Yuchang and Gu Jiusi, it doesn't look like they have got the evidence. The evidence should still be on Shen Ming."

"How?"

Wang Shusheng had a cold face, and Wang He continued: "If Gu Jiusi saw Shen Ming last night, he should have sent someone to help Shen Ming pick up Qin Nan's family. Last night Shen Ming went to rob Qin alone. Nan's family."

"Anyone?" Wang Shusheng turned his head and said angrily, "Didn't I say to look good on people!"

"We didn't expect him to move so fast," Wang He hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Last night everyone was looking for adults, and the manpower was not enough, and I thought that Shen Ming was alone and was injured. Where do you have the courage to rob someone by yourself?"

"How many of you are guarding."

"Twenty."

"Twenty?" Wang Shusheng raised his voice, "Twenty people let them go?"

"You can rest assured," Wang He said immediately, "Shen Ming was seriously injured, and I let people chase him."

Wang Shusheng did not speak, Wang He continued to analyze: "Shen Ming went straight out of Xingyang after saving Qin Nan, then he may only have an intersection with Gu Jiusi for a period of time before dawn. But if Gu Jiusi got the evidence last night, he and Li Yuchang should leave Xingyang today."

"They can't control this." Wang Shusheng said coldly, after a while, he thought about it, and still said, "Go to the surrounding garrison to investigate, once they receive any News," Wang Shusheng glanced at Wang He and said indifferently, "Get ready for a heavy gift."

"Understood." Wang He responded immediately.

Wang Shusheng led people to withdraw after making such a fuss.

Gu Jiusi and Li Yuchang were waiting for the Sizhou army to rush over, while Shen Ming was chased and killed all the way, and the stars and the moon rushed to the Eastern Capital.

When he came, he had been on the road for nearly half a month.

The killers came in waves and chased him into the Eastern Capital. An hour before entering the Eastern Capital, he killed the latest wave of killers and stumbled into the Eastern Capital.

He didn't know where to go.

The blood loss made him a little confused. He clutched the biggest wound and walked forward in the alley.

After the fall, it rained non-stop. He stepped on the pitted bluestone slab, and the water splashed, making him feel a little cold.

He walked for a long time, and finally he could no longer walk, and he collapsed to the ground.

His mind was foggy, he knew what he should do, he remembered that he had something to do when he came here, but he didn't even remember.

He was lying on the ground, feeling the blood slowly flowing out, he didn't know if he was going to die, he didn't feel the pain, he just felt cold.

There is a carriage coming from far away, and I vaguely hear the voice of a little girl.

"Miss, next time you don't look at the account and see that it's so late, you have to take care of yourself no matter how hard you fight. The eldest son said that the family can support you, so don't worry about it."

After the little girl finished speaking, a calm and cold voice rang out.

The voice made Shen Ming somewhat familiar...

No, it's more than just familiarity.

It should be him, thinking about it day and night, thinking about it day and night, thinking about it all the time.

"The eldest son is joking with you, don't take it seriously."

The voice said, slowly: "I have to find something to do, Yuru is busy outside, I can't be worse than her, right?"

The voice laughed: "I don't know how they are in Yongzhou?"

Ye Yun…

Hearing this voice, Shen Ming called out her name in his heart.

He was panting lowly, he wanted to call her, but he had no strength. He felt that his soul had left the body, and he watched everything around him with a cold eye, but he couldn't control his body to make a little movement.

The carriage was getting closer, and he could clearly hear the words inside.

She spoke of him.

She said: "Shen Ming is reckless. In Yongzhou, I don't know if he caused trouble for Yuru."

"But don't worry, if you get into trouble, Gu Jiusi will always give him a pocket, and the three brothers wear a pair of trousers."

"You say he is childish? Actually not, he just has love and hate in his heart, which is more clear than others."

Ye Yun…

Shen Ming heard a very shallow whimper from his throat when he heard the carriage passing by him.

Stay.

He wanted to call her - stay and see me.

Not help me.

Look at me.

He thought, here he comes, he finally came back from Xingyang.

No matter the future, life or death, he finally returned to Dongdu and finally met her.

Tears mixed with rain dripped down his face, he closed his eyes in pain, but at that moment, the carriage stopped.

"There..."

Ye Yun lifted the curtain of the car, stuck her head out, frowned at Shen Ming on the ground, and hesitated: "Is there someone?"

Speaking, Ye Yun leaned out of the carriage, got out of the carriage with an umbrella, and walked to Shen Ming.

Shen Ming fell to the ground, his hair covered his face, Ye Yun put the umbrella on him, and said gently: "Are you uncomfortable?"

Shen Ming didn't speak, the maid next to her chased after her. She stepped on the ground and water, and then found that her shoes had changed color. The maid screamed, and said in a panicked voice, "Blood!"

Speaking, the maid grabbed Ye Yun and hurriedly said, "Miss, this person is not kind, let's go."

Ye Yun frowned, she stared at the man carefully for a moment, only to realize that the man was full of wounds, she hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to turn around.

If it was just a poor person who fell to the ground at will, she would save her. But with a person full of injuries, she didn't want to make trouble for herself.

However, at the moment when she turned around, the person who had been unable to move tried her best to grab the corner of her skirt.

He grabbed lightly, then struggled to mumble a syllable.

The people next to her couldn't hear it clearly, but Ye Yun could hear it.

His name is Ye Yun.

Even though the voice was hoarse and vague, she could still hear the familiar timbre in the voice.

She turned back in shock, looking at the person on the ground who was so injured that she could not see the deity at all.

She hurriedly squatted down, put down her umbrella, and reached out to hold the man's face.

The maid was frightened and frightened, and hurriedly stopped Ye Yun and said, "Miss, Miss, be careful, dirty..."

Seeing her, Shen Ming forced a smile.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Yun spoke in shock, but Shen Ming couldn't answer, he just stared at her.

The fingertips were trembling all the time, Ye Yun stared blankly at the fingertips.

Although he didn't speak, she still read his meaning.

Maybe it was a joke, but she knew it.

He said, you.

Why here? Why come back? Why is it that at the time of life and death, even if he is already unconscious, he still falls not far from Ye Mansion.

There are many reasons, but it is only because of one thing—

You.

Where is Ye Yun, Shen Ming has to go back.
