Pushing Gu Yun to the front desk is indeed to let him accumulate a little more credit, so that he can be rated in the future when he evaluates his performance, which is a plan for his friends and for himself. The reason is very simple, the more stable Gu Yun's position is, the safer Xu You will be in Qiantang, and only if his personal safety is not threatened, it is possible to continue other schemes. It's just that he didn't expect Gu Zhuo to take the initiative to add firewood to the fire, and with the participation of this waiter, it seems that the development of things is more likely than expected.

As He Wei said, Gu Zhuo's purpose, or the purpose of the Gu family's gate valve, will not be as simple as accumulating credit, and will definitely take advantage of this rare opportunity to let Gu Yun go further in the officialdom, whether it is Wu County or Huiji County, they are all the Shangjun who can be counted, and being able to be a Taishou will be of great benefit to his future promotion.

The short time in office, the lack of governing experience, the lack of qualifications, and the obstruction of political enemies, these problems, as long as they are properly planned, are not big problems for the Gu family. After all, in every dynasty, there are no longer a few people who are overpromoted, and in later generations, there is also a word with a similar meaning: exceptional promotion!

It's self-defeating......

If Gu Yun left Qiantang and changed to a new county order, Xu You might not be able to have the freedom he is now. But now I don't regret that the medicine is delicious, since I have taken this step of chess, I have to continue to walk, in the short term, there may be disadvantages, but in the long run, it will only be beneficial and harmless.

The dust has settled on the matter of moving to the state to govern, and the specific operation is more troublesome, first to build an official office in Jinling, and then gradually allocate the officials in place, at least it will take at least one or two months to complete. At this time, the troops sent by Gu Yun to Qingzhou brought back good news - Zhou Ying'er was captured.

Xu You saw Zhou Ying'er in the prison of Qiantang County, through the firm and thick wooden prison door, this bold tooth lost his previous sharp teeth, and saw Xu You, Bao Xi and Du Sanxing appear together, his body trembled like a sieve, his face was blue, his lips were cracked, and the corners of his eyes were stained with blood, obviously he suffered a little on the way back to Qiantang from Qingzhou.

"Remember me?"

Zhou Ying'er knelt down, her forehead fell to the ground and she didn't dare to raise it slightly, her voice was like a broken horn, making a shrill sound, and said, "Xu ...... Xu Langjun ......"

"Excellent! If you have made a fortune and have not forgotten your old friends, it means that you are passable. Xu You squatted down with a smile and said, "At the beginning, you claimed to be the most trusted tooth in the entire Qiantang County, and I still remember it deeply. ”

"Yes...... I, I've been a tooth hunter for decades, and I haven't made a mistake......"

"Except this time!"

"Yes, except this time!"

Zhou Ying'er suddenly burst into tears, Xu You's smile made him shudder, and his psychological defense line suddenly collapsed, and said, "Xu Langjun, please spare me!" I owe a lot of gambling debts, and if I don't pay them, my whole family will not die. I was desperate and had a bad heart, but ...... But I didn't dare to lie to you, the title deeds are all real......"

"Oh, you mean, since I'm not fooled, I shouldn't be nosy, should I?"

"I don't dare...... Don't dare ......"

Xu You shook his head and said, "You can cheat five or six hundred thousand dollars, what else do you dare not do?" ”

Zhou Ying'er kowtowed frantically, her head banged on the ground, and after a while, blood splashed everywhere, and her condition was miserable. However, the three people standing in front of him were all hard-hearted, their faces were as calm as stagnant water, Xu You quietly watched him bleeding, and said leisurely: "It's okay to spare you, but you have to exchange something......

Zhou Ying'er immediately understood, crawled a few steps on her knees, held the fence with both hands, and said hurriedly: "Yes, I have!" I left Qiantang with only 300,000 yuan, and 200,000 yuan was buried in a secret place. ”

"Huh!" Xu Youqi said: "Why don't you take it all away?" Do you leave 200,000 yuan to benefit your father? ”

"I, I thought I'd ...... if there was nothing going on in the future. Come back again. After all, the north is all Rongdi, no different from beasts, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't get used to it......"

Xu You almost laughed out loud, Zhou Ying'er did something worse than beasts, and he also disliked Hu Renming of the Northern Wei Dynasty to a low degree, he was really ignorant and fearless, and he was very stupid!

Du Sansheng was born in Xu Province, and his self-cultivation was much worse, and when he heard about 200,000 yuan, his eyes flashed with greed, and he said, "Where is it?" "I regretted it before I said it, Zhou Yinger wanted to exchange this money for his life, and he would not easily reveal it, he was so eager, see what it would look like in the eyes of Xu You and Bao Xi.

"Ahem, you dog doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth, and you have to show some sincerity if you want to talk about conditions." As he spoke, Du Sanxing secretly observed Bao Xi and found that he didn't care, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, yes, I said, I only had 100,000 yuan on me when I was caught, and 200,000 yuan was given to the Bai Wu merchants, of which 100,000 was the ferry money, and the other 100,000 was the fee for entrusting the Bai Wu merchants to buy a residence and a field house in the Wei State. Those Langjun can testify, they searched my lineage, and also talked to Bai Wushang, knowing that I only have the 300,000 yuan, and the remaining 200,000 is buried outside the city, and no one knows except me. ”

Although Zhou Ying'er was in a desperate situation, she still retained the cunning of her teeth, Du Sanxing snorted coldly, but her eyes involuntarily fell on Bao Xi's face. Bao Xi knew what he meant, and said lightly: "Bai Wushang's 200,000 yuan has been recovered, and the 100,000 yuan on his body, because it was dark and messy, may have fallen into the water and was not found." ”

100,000 dollars, just fell into the water?

Zhou Ying'er raised his head in surprise, and instantly lowered it again, lower than Fang Cai, he is also a person in the market who wanders the streets and alleys, and he knows the doorways in the yamen too well.

Du Sansheng laughed dryly, and understood in his heart that Gu Yun sent his family's subordinates to gallop hundreds of miles, and arrested Zhou Ying'er before he crossed privately, not to mention the credit, this hard work alone is not something that ordinary people can bear, and 100,000 yuan is just a trivial matter.

Xu You and Du Sansheng thought differently, with Gu Yun's character, he would not embezzle the hard-earned money of the people under his rule, it must be that those parts were divided in private, and when he came back to restore his life, he was honest. However, they could deceive Gu Yun, but they couldn't deceive Bao Xi, but Bao Xi pretended not to know.

Or in his opinion, it is natural to use Gu's relationship to take people, and also recover 200,000 yuan, and collect some compensation!

The four people present all knew it, but no one said anything, Xu You groaned and said, "County Lieutenant Du, Zhou Ying'er defrauded, absconded, and smuggled, and all crimes were punished, how should I deal with it according to the law?" ”

"According to the law of thieves, Ling Chi!"

Zhou Ying'er suddenly opened her mouth wide, her eyes bulged out, like a dead fish that had been drained of air, her whole body was stiff as a stone, and then it shattered, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

Du Sanxing was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, stabbed him with a waist knife, and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, the Ming Mansion hasn't passed the hall yet."

"This is a matter of the Yamen, and I shouldn't be an outsider to talk too much. However, I can be regarded as a bitter master, Master Bao, you don't know, that Su Tang and a dozen people are still living in my house, noisy every day, and they are almost annoyed. Xu You vomited bitterness and said, "Why don't you let Zhou Ying'er hand over the 200,000 yuan that she hid, if you ask Su Tang for forgiveness, you can spare his life?"

Bao Xi smiled: "I don't care, it depends on whether County Lieutenant Du can open the net." ”

Du Sansheng understood Xu You's intentions, and said with a cold face: "No! Zhou Ying'er crossed the Wei State privately, which was a crime of great rebellion, and if she was not pardoned, she would be punished with 300 knives. Xu Langjun, it's not that I don't give you face, the law of the country is Sensen, and I have no choice. ”

Zhou Ying'er gritted her teeth and said viciously: "It's a big deal, but the 200,000 yuan, you don't want to find it!" ”

Du Sanxing smiled, looking eerie, and said, "It's the first time you've entered the cell, right?" Miki is plus, and any hero has to open his mouth. Death, it's not that easy! ”

Beads of sweat oozed from Zhou Ying'er's forehead, her face turned pale, but she bit her lip and didn't say a word more.

Xu You saw it clearly, Zhou Ying'er only gave in and pleaded for his life, and he would hear that Du Sanxing refused to be accommodating, and he was brave and ruthless in order to survive. He can make a name for himself in Qiantang, but he is actually a ruthless character, his face changes before and after like a flip book, and he really deserves to be one of the feet of the car and boat shop.

"What County Lieutenant Du said is reasonable, 200,000 yuan to buy a life, your life is worthless."

Xu You followed the temptation and said, "In this way, do you have anything valuable?" If you don't give up your life, if you die, it's useless to hide it, right? Or if there is any secret, of course, it is not a short-lived secret, it must be beneficial to the Ming Mansion, to the imperial court, and to Li Shu, you have been a tooth for so many years, and you have rich experience, there will be no secrets at all, right? ”

"I, I ......"

Zhou Ying'er pondered and meditated, almost digging out her brain to find it, and suddenly screamed, "I remember, that white black merchant, yes, called Li Qingyu, his fleet abducted and sold women from good families from Yangzhou, and then smuggled them to Wei to be used as dog prostitutes for dignitaries and nobles, and many of them were tortured to death!" ”

Xu You and Bao Xi looked at each other, no one expected to be forced to ask such a thing. Du San, who was in charge of the prison, was the most sensitive to these things, and when he heard this, his color changed, and he said: "Zhou Ying'er, if you make up a lie for your life, Lao Tzu will really kill you!" ”

Zhou Ying'er shouted: "I don't dare to say half a lie, Li Qingyu is a white black merchant who buys and sells brocade silk on the surface, but in fact, he is doing the business of abducting and selling dog prostitutes behind his back, and the profit is dozens of times ......."

"What is a dog prostitute?" Xu You heard Zhou Ying'er mention this word twice, and asked confusedly.

"It is to train beautiful women to be dog-like things, eat and live with cattle and sheep naked, and let the owner bully and humiliate, I heard that none of these dog prostitutes can live for a year, so they must often buy from Yangzhou." Zhou Ying'er's lips trembled, and she was also frightened by this kind of human tragedy that violated her family, and said: "Only Yangzhou women are as moist as flowers, and they sell at a high price, not anywhere else!" ”

Du Sanxing took out his waist knife, pointed it at Zhou Ying'er's heart through the fence, and said fiercely: "Let me ask you again, is it a lie?" ”

Zhou Ying'er trembled and said, "If there is a word of falsehood, let me die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Alright, put away the knife! We can all see that he's not lying! ”

Bao Xi motioned to Xu You, turned around and walked out. Xu You followed out and heard Bao Xi's deep voice: "Li Qingyu has something to do with the He family!" ”

The sun outside is like spring, but Xu You's body is cold for a while!
