The situation that Gu Yun was worried about did not appear, after He Jie was escorted to the Assassin's Mansion, he first refused to obey, and then he couldn't withstand the torture of the Crouching Tiger Division, and he was quickly defeated, and he confessed all the crimes without resisting for long. He Qi, who had never shown up, seemed to have disappeared, including the entire He family, no one came to the Assassin Mansion to inquire about the news, and no one asked him to go away, and even He Jie's food and clothing in the cell did not pay attention to it, as if he had really given up on him completely.

Five days later, the case was closed, and the assassination history office wrote to the imperial court to report the details of the case. Si Lifu also made a report through other channels, which was many times more detailed than the Assassin's Mansion, and the content involved was more complex and shocking. It turned out that He Jie and the others did not just plunder the population, but even secretly sold high-quality rice and grain from various counties in Jiangdong to the Wei State, which was short of food. After An Zidao's imperial review, he was furious, and summoned the governors of Zhongshu, Shangshu and Menxia to gather in the court, and then issued seven edicts in one day:

deprived He Qi of the Marquis of the founding county, and the rewards of the past years were all recovered; closed Dayu Academy, ordered He Chun to think about it behind closed doors, and was not allowed to lecture for the rest of his life; An Yuxiu, the princess of Shanyin, stabbed Shifu without authorization and was demoted to the champion princess, the champion county belongs to Nanyang County, and Nanyang County is in the hands of Wei, that is to say, An Yuxiu is demoted from Shanyin Shang County to the princess of Qiao County, and her food and income will be sharply reduced, and her reputation will be greatly damaged; The wife of the concubine Du Wei He Dynasty was not strict, and he had no way to govern the family, and was fined for three years. In addition, all the children of the He family are not allowed to participate in Dazhongzheng for three years, let alone become officials.

There is also the Wei family, which should also be closed and closed, should have thought about it, and should be deposed from the title and official position, which is only more important than the He family, and the two surnamed gate valves have been greatly damaged.

As for He Jie and Wei Du, they are two different endings. As an accomplice, Wei Du was sentenced to suicide, given poisoned wine, and left a whole body. He Jie is the main culprit, but because of the "eight discussions" system, namely: discussing relatives, discussing reasons, discussing talents, discussing ability, discussing merit, discussing nobles, discussing diligence, and discussing guests. In line with the discussion of relatives and ability, relatives are relatives of the emperor and the country, and they can be literary and talented officials, He Jie was touched, so the minister decided to behead him at his discretion, reported it to the emperor, and reduced it by one according to the regulations, and finally sentenced him to exile for 3,000 miles and serve hard labor in the land of Ningzhou.

After Xu You knew the result, he once said something like this: "It's not impossible to do evil, it depends on your background and talent." Wei Du died when he died, and he had neither the title of the imperial prince as a talisman, nor the talent and knowledge of the world to arouse the pity of the superiors. So he died, but He Jie survived, maybe it's unfair, but it's realistic! ”

After the punishment, on the merits of the reward, Gu Yun since the rule of Qiantang, repeatedly solved important cases, made great contributions, and was able to take precautions, put forward the law of plundering and buying the same crime, loyalty, honesty and diligence, and the four sages both, so he was promoted to Wu County Taishou; Zhu Zhi, a free rider, strategized to eliminate this giant thief for the country, and became a high-ranking official of the fourth grade; In addition, Zhu Ruiyong is a peerless champion and was summoned into the forbidden middle school as the lieutenant of the palace, although he is an eight-rank petty official, he can also be regarded as a guard of the Son of Heaven, and his future is bright.

The rest, such as Yangzhou Governor Shi Hu Jin Gong Zhong Guo, Zhi is the Imperial History Zhongcheng, Sima Qiu Yuan, brave to do things, promoted as the general of Zhichong, Yangzhou Governor's Mansion Protector, and the rest are rewarded.

However, He Wei and the two colluded with thieves and businessmen, wantonly plundered their beloved, and mutilated innocents, once it was publicized, it caused great controversy among the people. Gu Yun immediately wrote a letter to exchange his official position for the imperial court to pass the law of plundering the same crime. An Zidao personally issued an order to comfort, rejected the resignation, allowed him to change the law firm, and passed the law the next day and promulgated it to the world. He also ordered the company to withdraw money and rice from the public to compensate and appease the victims.

The people of Yangzhou are at peace, Gu Yun's prestige is unmatched for a while, and there is no second person in the younger generation who can compete!

On this day, Xu You was in good health, taking advantage of the good weather, he stood in the courtyard and played a set of Tai Chi slowly, wanting to relax his muscles and bones. Zuo Yan looked at it from the side, but he was embarrassed to ask, He Wei didn't have such a good character as him, and sneered: "Qilang, what kind of punch are you?" Weakness, sluggishness and sluggishness, could it be self-created in sleep? ”

Xu You was a Tai Chi lover in his previous life, and after he became rich and powerful, he visited many famous Tai Chi teachers, but there were too many people who deceived the world and stole fame, and he didn't learn any essence, that is, a role in strengthening the body. Listening to He Wei's ridicule, he said with a smile: "Qiyi, you have made a move, if this soft fist can't beat your nose and face to swell, I will be hungry tonight and will not eat!" ”

He Wei was not fooled, and said: "I am a strategist, and I don't use my words." Qilang is really confident, just follow the wind tiger to fight, I will pay ten taels of gold, bet on the wind tiger to win! ”

The frost sitting next to him applauded and said, "I also suppress the wind and tiger Langjun, well, bet a thousand dollars!" Autumn equinox, do you bet or not? ”

The eyes of the autumn equinox never left Xu You's body, and this time she suddenly fainted, which made her worry all night, and she still hasn't been freed from the panic, for fear that he will be too tired from practicing boxing and cause a recurrence of the hidden disease. Hearing the sound of frost, he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I don't have any money......

He Weiqi said: "Qilang still deducts your monthly salary? How can this be reasonable, how much money has been deducted, I will get it back for you! ”

"No, it's not!"

Qiu Equinox's face turned red, and he said: "My money is given by Xiaolang anyway, there is nothing to deduct or not...... Besides, there is a shortage of money in the house now, so I will save it first, and I can ...... emergency in the future."

Xu You knew that she remembered the dilemma of not even being able to eat enough when she was in Yixing, which was really a penny that stumped the hero, so he collected his fist, walked closer, touched her head, and said: "It's okay, you just follow the frost and bet on the wind and the tiger to win, and you won't lose money!" ”

"Okay, come on, start, start!" He Wei happily got up and Zhang Luo, Zuo Yan said helplessly: "Qiyi, I and Lang Jun are opponents, and we can't bet according to the rules." You, the frost, and the autumn equinox are all betting on me to win, how did this gamble start? Whose money goes to win? ”

"Huh?"

He Wei was stunned, with his IQ, it was almost impossible for this kind of oolong incident to occur, so he had to cough dryly twice, and said, "It's okay, let's change the rules, and you and Qilang can bet." ”

Xu You smiled: "Yes, who are you betting on Fenghu?" ”

"Lang Jun, forgive me for being bold, bet on me to win this time!"

"Okay, I'll bet on you to win too!"

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and then burst into laughter. He Wei darkened his face and said, "No, no, isn't this a trick?" ”

"Phew! I think it's just you! ”

Xu You didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up the prepared towel and wet it in the hot water basin, wrung it out and wiped his hands and face, and said, "How is the gift for Feiqing?" ”

Lu Shuang hurriedly said: "It's all ready, a paulownia wooden piano, a pheasant, two white jades, five Wuzhong landscape paintings, ten green bamboo folding fans, as well as inkstones, bamboo boxes, porcelain, and a number of tea." ”

"Pheasant?" Zuo Yan was puzzled: "What are you doing with chickens?" ”

The others can be understood, only the pheasant does not understand its meaning, He Wei explained: "The pheasant does not eat bait, is not afraid of coercion, and will commit suicide if captured alive. ”

"I see!" Zuo Yan admired Zuo Shuang very much, and his talent was no less than that of a scholar, and said: "No wonder Lang Jun handed over this matter to Lu Shuang to handle." ”

Xu You listened to the list of frosts, frowned slightly, and said, "How much did it cost in total?" ”

"A total of more than 27,000 dollars!" Lu Shuang looked at Xu You's face, worried in his heart, and said, "Isn't it too simple?" I'll go make up for it right away......"

"For the Taishou of a county, it is indeed a little simpler, but for Feiqing, he will never accept so many gifts from us, even if he sends them over, he will return them as they are." Xu You said with a smile: "Forget about everything else, return those that can be returned to the store, and leave those that can't be returned for your own use." You go get a fan, and by the way, there's pen and ink! ”

After taking the fan, he grinded the ink and moistened the pen and handed it to Xu You. Xu You held a fan in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, thinking of this period of meeting with Gu Yun, how could he not feel it in his heart, and a thousand words turned into two sentences of residual poetry:

Since then, he has no intention of loving the night, and let him go down to the west building under the bright moon.

"Send it, tell Feiqing, I'm sick in bed, I can't see him off, I hope the bright moon in Wu County is still as charming as Qiantang!"

Three days later, Gu Yun left Qiantang by boat, and Li Dingzhi, Du Sanxing, and all the officials of the Yamen went to the wharf to see them off, and the people of Qiantang who got the news from nowhere flocked to it. When he was young, more than 1,000 people gathered densely on the wharf, and there were many people who came from other counties and counties, most of them were the families of the deceased who dug up the dry bones from Yuanyang Jinglu in the White Snake case, and the crying and screaming resounded in the sky.

Gu Yun stood at the head of the boat, his eyes were moist, he bowed down three times, and sighed to Bao Xi standing behind him: "I have only been in Qiantang for a year, and how many good things have I done for the people of Qiantang?" It's just that he destroyed the Demon Cave of Heavenly Master Dao Yangzhouzhi and saved a few robbed girls, in terms of merit, compared to Uncle Zhu and Xu Weizhi, what is it? But the people do not feel so, and they will keep in mind your small deeds, and preach your good name and prestige, and I am really ashamed and guilty. ”

"The Ming Mansion has risked the world's disapproval several times, and the gate valve and the imperial court-for-tat, almost staked on the life of the family and the future of the career, the people have their own mirrors in their hearts, can reflect the gains and losses, good and evil and merits of the officials, today's grand occasion, the Ming Mansion deserves it!"

Gu Yun didn't speak, he untied the folding fan that Xu You gave him from his waist, opened it and looked at the two poems on it, an indescribable male friendship appeared in his eyes, and he looked back at Qiantang City, which was getting farther and farther away, and muttered: "Since then, I have no intention of loving the night, let him go down to the west building under the bright moon...... Small, precious! ”
