The next morning, people from the Yamen of the Third Division came over to hand over the case to Han Jian, which meant that the case of corruption and deficit between the Ministry of Household and the Treasury Department officially entered the judicial trial stage. Han Jian's task is completed, and he can retire without having to work hard for the case.

The case only happened for one day, and everything seemed to be settled, and while the surface was calm, the influence of the case continued to ferment in secret, because the officials involved in the case were far more than the two yamen of the household department and the treasury department, and everyone in Luoyang City was in danger.

This was the largest embezzlement case involving the amount of money since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, and the initial stolen goods amounted to more than 8 million taels of silver, not including the tangible assets that were subsequently confiscated and sold. The end of one corruption case is also likely to breed another corruption case, and the imperial court is extra careful in arranging to take over officials, and the officials responsible for liquidating the stolen money must not only be innocent for three generations, and they must be able to control the scene with high morality and respect, but they must also be from the Qingshui Yamen, and have nothing to do with the six ministries. In the end, the imperial court chose to choose to go, and the final person in charge was Cui Mingli, the adviser of the Shangting Office.

When Han Jian learned the news, he was snickering in his heart, it was estimated that Old Man Gu was so angry that he stomped his feet at this time.

Han Jian's last step in charge of this case was to transfer the list of stolen goods for preliminary liquidation to Cui Mingli, who came to the Tingwei Mansion, and as soon as the list was handed over, Han Jian officially withdrew from the case. Cui Mingli was very polite to Han Jian, this time Han Jian did a big thing of "benefiting the country and the people", which was very appreciated by Cui Mingli. Cui Mingli didn't care about Han Jian's recent close relationship with Old Man Gu, praised Han Jian for a few words, and personally sent Han Jian out of the Tingwei Mansion.

Out of the Tingwei Mansion, Han Jian took a breath, and immediately felt that even the air was much fresher. These two days were spent investigating corruption and deficit cases. He was tired enough, and now he finally loosened the tight strings. It's time to take it easy.

"Young boy, you won't be heavy on sex and light on friends. Are you going on a date with Miss Gu? Sima asked, looking at Han Jian.

"Whoever knows me is Sima Ye." Han Jian said with a smile, "I'll go to the Gu Mansion in a while, you and Ruan Ping will find something by themselves, and we'll see you at Yashe at noon." ”

"Alas!" Sima sighed and said, "Young Prince, don't forget the appointment of the King of Yanning County tonight, we haven't informed Young Master Yang yet." ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded. Since the king of Yanning County has invited him to come to the mansion, this face must always be given. This can be regarded as a basic friendship between the royal nobles, and Han Jian also wants to know what the purpose of this mysterious Yanning County King is.

Han Jian and Sima Yi separated and went directly to Gu's mansion, and when they arrived at Gu's mansion, they happened to meet Gu Weipan's official sedan chair. Gu Weipan also just got off the sedan chair, and before he could enter the door, he saw Han Jian and came over.

"Chief Gu." Han Jian bowed.

"Why are you here?" Gu Weipan asked in a cold tone.

Han Jian smiled and said in his heart, "Didn't you ask knowingly? Naturally, I didn't come to Gu Mansion to look for you.

"When I came down to the house, I had something to discuss with Ling Qianjin." Han Jian said.

"Something? Hum. Gu Weipan glared at Han Jian. didn't say much, and didn't stop Han Jian, and entered the door with Han Jian.

Gu Weipan's return to the house is a major event for the Gu Mansion. From the moment someone opened the door, the courtyard was busy. Gu Xin'er and her mother also came out to greet them quickly, and when they saw Han Jian and Gu Weipan walking together. Gu Xin'er was a little embarrassed, but Mrs. Gu seemed very happy. Han Jian looked at Mrs. Gu's expression, did he think that he had discussed family affairs with Gu Weipan to propose marriage?

Although the lady and daughter treated themselves like guests. Gu Weipan's face was still not good, and Gu Weipan strode into the main hall.

Mrs. Gu said, "Master, sit." ”

"Don't sit, the old man came back today, just for one thing." Gu Weipan's tone was like rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Gu Xin'er glanced at Han Jian, thinking that Han Jian knew the purpose of Gu Weipan's return, and asked him with her eyes. Han Jian had no choice but to spread his hands and said that he didn't know.

"What's the matter, sir?" Mrs. Gu was a little nervous and asked, and hurriedly poured tea for Gu Weipan in person.

"The old man came back to discuss peace and separation." Gu Weipan said coldly.

"And leave?" When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was shocked, her hand shook slightly, the teacup in her hand fell back on the table, and the hot tea splashed on her hand. Gu Xin'er hurriedly went over to support her mother, but her eyes looked at Gu Weipan with some sadness, hoping that her father would take back his life.

Gu Weipan said: "The old man hasn't returned all these years, because he doesn't want to go back, some things have to be resolved, so dragging it out like this, Xin'er has grown up and is sensible, so there is no need to hide it." Settle the matter as soon as possible. ”

"But sir...... I...... If the concubine has done something wrong, the master can only teach and scold, why not ...... and leaving the ......" Mrs. Gu became sad, crying and crying, without the demeanor of a housewife at all.

Han Jian stood beside him, feeling as if he was a superfluous person. It stands to reason that this is Gu Weipan's family matter, and he shouldn't take care of it, but he has long regarded himself and Gu Xin'er as a family, and now Gu Xin'er is also a little masterless, if he doesn't speak, Gu Xin'er's hope for a family reunion that she has always expected will be completely shattered.

"Old Gu, why bother?" Han Jian sighed.

Gu Weipan glanced at Han Jian with slanted eyes, in front of people, he didn't want to directly lose Han Jian's face. Especially at such an awkward time. He conveyed a meaning to Han Jian with a look: You are in charge of my affairs?

Mrs. Gu couldn't cry, and she wanted to say something, but Gu Weipan raised her hand to interrupt Mrs. Gu's words. At this time, Mrs. Gu suddenly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, as if begging for Gu Weipan's forgiveness, but Gu Weipan had already made it clear that she wanted to be hard-hearted when she came back this time, and at this time he tilted his head and didn't even look at it. Gu Xin'er then knelt down with her mother, sobbing nonstop.

"Father, please take back your life." Gu Xin'er is still very firm in her words, with a soft aura of her daughter's family, but also a little unyielding strength.

"The old man has made up his mind, and there is no need to say more." Gu Wei Pan said.

Han Jian went up to help Gu Xin'er, but knew that Gu Xin'er would definitely not get up. At this time, it is best to find a way to drag the resolute old man Gu first.

"Elder Gu, I heard that Mrs. Zun's family is in the middle of the road, and she has no place to return. You divorce your wife so blatantly, it seems that it is not in accordance with the laws of the imperial court. You do that, your majesty over there...... How do you explain? Han Jian looked at Gu Weipan and asked.

"Nonsense, old man...... This is a divorce, how could he have been a divorced wife? Gu Weipan's face turned a little red. Although Gu Weipan came back with an iron heart to "get a divorce", with his identity and status, he has nothing to lose except for creating criticism. Now Han Jian is pressing him with Fadu and the empress, but he also pokes his sore feet.

"There is nothing to go for". It means that when the woman marries, her parents and brothers are still alive, but when she is about to be abandoned, both parents are dead and have no place to return. This is the "three no-gos" in the ancient marriage law that are independent of the "seven outs". When Gu Songshi married Gu Weipan, it can be said that the scenery is infinite. Dad is the first minister of the dynasty, and after getting married, he called Gu Weipan arrogant, and now that his father is dead and his family is scattered, he can only rely on prayer in exchange for Gu Weipan's mercy, even if he still has to be divorced, Han Jian can also feel how miserable his future mother-in-law is now.

Han Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Old Gu, it is wishful thinking to be reconciled, look at this ......"

Han Jian said, pointing to Mrs. Gu who was still kneeling on the ground. Gu Weipan's face turned dark. This time he was completely speechless. He said that he wanted to come back and leave, if Mrs. Gu agreed, it would be and leave, and Heli did not touch the "three no-gos", but if Mrs. Gu did not agree, then it could only be "divorced wife", although Mrs. Gu used to be sick, and the seven out of the article accounted for several things, but now Mrs. Gu is divorced and has nothing to rely on. As long as Mrs. Gu is not at fault, Gu Weipan can't rest.

Gu Weipan was speechless at this time, remembering what the empress had said to him before, he was a little powerless. He thinks about it now. The Empress's intention should be to restore the family relationship, not to break it down completely.

"The old man has business to do, and I'll talk about this later!" Gu Weipan threw down his sentence. With a menacing look, he left the main hall and walked straight in the direction of the mansion gate.

Wait for Gu Weipan to leave. Han Jiancai stepped forward and helped Mrs. Gu up with Gu Xin'er, and Mrs. Gu's crying body softened. He was still crying when he got up, and he didn't say a word. Han Jian and Gu Xin'er helped her to sit on a chair.

"Thank you young son for making peace in front of my father......" Gu Xin'er said, and couldn't help wiping her tears, although the incident just now was temporarily eased, but she also knew that since her father was hard-hearted, the matter would basically end with the family falling apart.

Han Jian sighed, looked at Mrs. Gu and said, "Mrs. Gu, there are some things that I shouldn't have said as an outsider, the reason why Chief Gu came back to talk about peace and separation is because he has a woman outside, and that woman has never been famous." ”

When Mrs. Gu heard Han Jian say this, she let out a long sigh and said, "Xin'er also told the concubine about this matter, and the woman outside ...... Even gave birth to a child, but he ...... Never mentioned it to me! ”

"In that case." Han Jian said, "Then why don't you give in to each other?" Madam, you promised to welcome the women outside Chief Gu into the door and give them the status of mother and son, so that Chief Gu will not talk about reconciliation again? ”

"This ......"

Mrs. Gu was obviously a little reluctant, but she looked at Han Jian, looked at her daughter again, and nodded in agreement. Things have come to this, Gu Weipan has already ignored the love between husband and wife for so many years, and came back to say that she would leave directly, and she also felt that if she didn't give in, then there would be no room for change at all.

"Your Highness, this matter ...... His Royal Highness also went down to tell my lord that the concubine was soft-spoken, and I was afraid that it would ...... My lord refuses to listen to me anymore. Mrs. Gu looked at Han Jian with some pleading.

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded and said, "I will try my best to make peace with this matter, Chief Gu is a person of Ming Li, and I think he can understand your distress, Madam." ”

After saying this, Mrs. Gu was very tired, so Gu Xin'er first asked the maid to help her mother into the room to rest. And Gu Xin'er personally sent Han Jian out.

"Young boy, because my mother is so ...... Xin'er can't accompany her more, Xin'er has to go back to accompany her mother, lest she can't think about it. At the gate of Gu's mansion, Gu Xin'er said a little sadly.

Han Jian said a word of comfort, and said, "Xin'er, you go back earlier, and I'll try my best to reconcile this matter." If not, I'll go and talk to Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has also found Ling Zun and told you about your family affairs, and if you want to come to Your Majesty, your father is willing to listen. ”

Han Jian left the Gu Mansion, and when he saw noon, he went directly to Qingxu Yashe. When he arrived outside the Qingxu Yashe, he saw a swaying figure coming over, and when he saw Han Jian, this person opened his mouth and smiled, beckoning to Han Jian.

"Hey, Brother Han, how many days have you gone, how are you doing?" It was Huang Lie who was detained in the Tingwei Mansion for his involvement in the murder of Li Wei.

"Huang Gongzi? What are you ......" Han Jian looked at Huang Lie, except for walking with a limp, he seemed to be quite energetic.

"Alas! Not to mention, I was beaten twenty boards, my ass was crooked, and I was lucky to be able to come out. Hey, as soon as I came out, I wanted to see you, Brother Han, come over and have a glass of wine with you, Brother Han. (To be continued......)
