Gu Xingzhi wanted to personally feast Sun Yuanwai, Ding Caizhu, Lin landlord and Zhao shopkeeper, this news quickly spread all over Hangshan County, the original people were just waiting, thinking that this county order may be different from others, after hearing the news, they couldn't help but scold - but a nest of snakes and rats, there is no good thing, so soon they colluded together.

For such a statement, no one in Gu Xingzhi's mansion cared, and the people in the mansion were busy preparing for the banquet, among which Wang Xiancheng was the most active, and everyone did not stop him, Wang Xiancheng commanded arrogantly, looking anxious to invite merit.

Xue Yingge didn't smile when she saw this, she looked at Gu Xingzhi, who was discussing something with Pei Haoran not far away, and then ordered Qi Ran to send a pot of tea over, after Gu Xingzhi saw the tea, he raised the teacup to her, and then drank the tea and continued to discuss with Pei Haoran.

Xue Yingge was a little bored, just when Du Ruolan came to write a letter, saying that the spice business had been negotiated, and asked her what her next plan was, Xue Yingge thought that the business of going east to the building was on the right track, and it was famous, attracting many talents, so he began to work on the next plan.

Xue Yingge beckoned Qi Ran over and asked, "How are things prepared?" ”

Qi Ran looked around, leaned into Xue Yingge's ear and said, "Everything is ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”

Xue Yingge nodded, and Yuan'er jumped and ran over: "Miss, everything has been done according to your instructions." ”

The mansion is being arranged in an orderly manner, seeing that the night is approaching, Xue Yingge looks even more leaky, thinking that the time is almost up, and the invitations are all sent to the mansions of the four families, in line with the idea of making peace for the four families, no matter what, they have to give Gu Xingzhi a face, and there is that Gu Xingzhi mentioned the matter of repairing the embankment, which is related to their vital interests, how could they not come.

The little maid and the maid greeted them at the door, seeing a sedan chair falling down in front of the house in turn, Gu Xing pain relief Xue Yingge greeted the guests at the door, Sun Yuanwai's face was not very good-looking, and his legs were still lame, and the forest landlord carefully compensated Sun Yuanwai as soon as he got off the sedan chair, and the rich man Ding turned pale, and his face changed instantly when he saw the shopkeeper Zhao.

Gu Xingzhi handled things a lot more tactfully, but he had a bit of an official style: "Gu Mou has lost his welcome, a few masters are invited." ”

Sun Yuanwai let out a cold snort from his nose, flicked off his sleeves and walked forward first, followed by the other three in turn.

Xue Yingge held Gu Xingzhi's hand, leaned into his ear and said, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, they are grasshoppers after the autumn, and they won't be able to jump for a while." ”

Gu Xingzhi said: "It's not because of their rudeness, I just think that the people are difficult, they used to be not close to the people's livelihood, and it was difficult to observe the people's feelings. ”

Xue Yingge was relieved that Gu Xingzhi was caught in various power struggles in his previous life, and he had little understanding of the people's livelihood and people's feelings, and he also lacked compassion and empathy, and he had few scruples in acting, so that he left a ruthless impression.

"After tonight, everything will be fine."

Gu Xingzhi sat in the position of the main seat, Sun Yuanwai sat in the position below, Zhao Shopkeeper was next to Sun Yuanwai's seat, and the forest landlord and Ding Caizhu were on the other side. For such an arrangement, the four of them did not show any dissatisfaction.

Pei Haoran stood beside Gu Xingzhi, like a statue.

Wang Xiancheng sat down beside the shopkeeper Zhao, Qi Ran and Jiang Yan were each at the end of the seats on both sides, Xue Yingge was quite satisfied with this seating arrangement, and then she instructed the maid to serve food and wine. Since there is good food and wine, how can there be no singing and dancing.

The musicians sat aside, and the dancers came out one after another, a scene of singing and music.

"Gu is deeply sorry for what happened to several masters some time ago. It's just that the future of Hangshan County still depends on the cooperation of several people, and I hope to take this opportunity to release the past suspicions for the time being, and let Gu Mouhao discuss the plan with a few people. ”

After speaking, Gu Xingzhi drank all the wine in the cup, but the person sitting down did not move at all, and Sun Yuanwai said at this time: "Lord Gu's kindness, I naturally understand it, but this happened so coincidentally, I have to doubt it." ”

Gu Xingzhi was not angry, and continued: "What does Sun Yuanwai mean by this? Could it be that he is suspicious of Gu? ”

The forest landlord came out at this time and said: "Sun Yuanwai is not suspicious of Lord Gu, but this cooperation is very important, and so many things have happened at this time, so we must be cautious." ”

Sun Yuan gave Gu Xingzhi's face, and since the forest landlord gave the steps, he still took advantage of the situation: "I naturally don't have any objections to the cooperation, but it's just ......."

Gu Xingzhi stretched out three fingers, and when he saw this, Sun Yuanwai comprehended, and said with a smile: "Lord Gu's kindness, I naturally understand it." ”

Seeing that Sun Yuanwai drank wine, the other three dared to drink all the wine in the cup.

Wang Xiancheng saw a happy scene, but he couldn't interject, so he was naturally anxious, and hurriedly got up and held his wine glass and said, "Then I wish Master Gu and several masters a smooth cooperation." ”

Xue Yingge looked at the scene in front of him, and only felt sarcastic, saying that he was so high-sounding and solemn about looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and perverting the law for bribes, it was really shameless and ruined.

Seeing that it was almost time for the matter to end, Gu Xingzhi nodded to Xue Yingge who was not far away, and then threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"What do you mean by this, Master Gu?" Sun Yuanwai was not in a hurry at all, and was extremely calm.

Gu Xingzhi didn't speak, he took out the account book from under the table, and still said on the ground: "You should settle the accounts after the autumn." ”

Seeing this, Wang Xiancheng was so angry that his beard trembled: "Master Gu, what are you doing?" Do you still want your ebony hat? ”

Seeing what Wang Xiancheng was going to say, Qi Ran directly asked the little guy to stuff the rag into his mouth.

"Master Gu is really a good means." Sun Yuanwai even applauded, "It's just that Master Gu is a little younger and more vigorous, how do you know that you are the yellow sparrow?" ”

Gu Xingzhi was unhurried: "Oh? What does Sun Yuanwai mean by this? But there is still a trick? ”

"You think we're done with it? offended the big man above, and Lord Gu had to walk around without eating. Sun Yuanwai looked around and said, "What's more, with Lord Gu's manpower, he can really control us?" ”

Gu Xingzhi smiled and said, "How do you know if you don't give it a try?" ”

After a while, there was still silence all around, Sun Yuanwai's face changed slightly, and Xue Yingge walked out of the shadows and said, "Don't wait any longer, your rescuers won't come." ”

"Master, I have bound them all." Qi Ran took a group of guards to subdue Sun Yuanwai and others who were ambushed outside the mansion one by one, tied them up and brought them to the courtyard.

Sun Yuanwai's face changed slightly, and the other three were not very good-looking.

Gu Xingzhi walked down from the main seat, he stared at the kidnapped Sun Yuanwai and said, "The people in your house have also been controlled, and now you are all turtles in the urn." ”

Sun Yuanwai smiled a little ugly: "It is not known who killed the deer, and Master Gu should not be too happy." ”

Gu Xingzhi looked at Pei Haoran and said, "The people who arranged for Sun Yuanwai and others to report the news have all intercepted it?" ”

Pei Haoran nodded and said, "Things have been arranged, and there will be no changes in the capital." ”

Sun Yuanwai's face changed suddenly, and Gu Xingzhi said with a smile: "Your account books have helped me a lot, if they know that you are secretly doing these things, do you think those big people only want to get rid of you?" ”

"So far, I have nothing to say, my skills are not as good as others, and if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect."

Sun Yuanwai was stubborn, but the other three began to cry and beg for mercy.

Gu Xingzhi looked at the messy banquet and said, "It's not up to me to kill or chop, the people of Hangshan County have the final say." ”

Sun Yuanwai and others were all taken into prison and strictly guarded.

The messy banquet began to clear, Xue Yingge walked in front of Gu Xingzhi and said, "I just proposed to catch turtles in an urn, but I didn't expect you to think of anything." ”

Gu Xingzhi took Xue Yingge's hand and strolled through the corridor, and said, "If it weren't for your previous foreshadowing, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. ”

The moonlight was like water, Xue Yingge leaned on Gu Xingzhi's shoulder and said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"It's not a pity that Sun Yuanwai and others died, but the people who were persecuted by them and ruined their families are irreparable." Gu Xingzhi sighed lightly and said, "I asked people to search for the evil deeds they have done over the years, it is really too many to write, tomorrow there will be people to testify one by one, and I will also give everyone justice." ”

Looking at Gu Xingzhi, who was a faction of clean officials in front of him, Xue Yingge was a little relieved.

There are things that don't require much intervention from her and can be done the way she wants. For example, she has always said that she wants to transform Gu Xingzhi and not let him become a ruthless person like in her previous life, but now, Gu Xingzhi has been reforming herself and becoming a good official who is widely loved and praised by the people.

"As for the capital, we have to figure it out slowly." Gu Xingzhi sighed and said, "Although I used to know that the court officials were in a party for personal gain, I never thought that this country had festered to such a point. ”

Xue Yingge's heart sank slightly, this dynasty has long been difficult to return, and it is difficult to govern. What Gu Xingzhi sees now is only the tip of the iceberg.

"Gu Xingzhi, you want to think about it slowly, but the former prince's old department is only afraid that he doesn't think so." Xue Yingge sighed and said, "What they want is a monarch who can give orders, not a clean official who is the master of the people." ”

Gu Xingzhi clasped Xue Yingge's hand and said, "I have already convinced them." Now they have no choice but me. ”

Although Xue Yingge was curious, he didn't ask much, and Gu Xingzhi continued to speak: "Only I know where the jade seal of the country is, and how the mysterious ironclad army of the founding emperor ordered. ”

Xue Yingge was surprised, the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country have been unknown, and in the previous life, Gu Xingzhi and others searched for a long time and also saw it, although they finally found it, but not to mention the twists and turns.

As for the Iron Armor Army, Xue Yingge always thought it was just a legend, because no one had ever seen it.

So, how did Gu Xingzhi know?
