Wu Xuehai went home directly after leaving Dali Temple, and the servant told him that someone had been waiting for him for a long time.

Wu Xuehai began to blame the servants for letting people come in casually, and then a person walked over to him.

"Xiangye, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this person's voice, Wu Xuehai immediately turned his head and said to him with a smile: "Hehe, Lord Gui." Yushitai is now busy with Cheng Qizhi's case, why does Lord Gui have time to come to me? ”

Gui Sinian walked up to Wu Xuehai and said, "The old man is looking for you to discuss something. ”

Wu Xuehai's eyes quickly showed a look of uncertainty, and he said to him: "Please, let's go to the study to talk." ”

Gui Sinian and Wu Xuehai came to the study, and after Wu Xuehai invited him to sit down, he specially sent away the servants at the door.

Wu Xuehai said directly: "Lord Gui came to find the old man, please tell me." ”

Gui Sinian said calmly: "Cheng Qizhi was deeply trusted by the emperor before, and he was very popular in the court, although he has only returned to the capital not long ago, but he has many old friends and deep roots, in fact, many officials have a good personal relationship with him." ”

Gui Sinian stopped when he said this, staring at Wu Xuehai's eyes.

Wu Xuehai said indifferently: "The old man knows that he is popular and can be a man, so he will be very embarrassed in front of His Majesty, of course, he is also talented." It's just that I'm too greedy, and I don't know how to end up in prison. ”

Gui Sinian continued: "In fact, after he was taken into custody by Dali Temple, as long as he confessed all the crimes inside, he would not implicate too many people, but some people were anxious and afraid that he would bite himself out, so he began to hack witnesses and related people outside. That's not a good idea. ”

As soon as Gui Sinian's words were finished, Wu Xuehai's expression froze for a moment.

Gui Sinian smiled at him, "Hehe, the lower officials are just feeling, don't blame you." ”

Wu Xuehai gave him a puzzled look, "Lord Gui, what are you talking about when you came to the old man?" Your Yushitai and Dali Temple and even how the Criminal Department handles the case, the old man can't control it, and the old man's hand won't stretch out so long. The old man just wants to wait for the outcome of the case to come down and see what happens to Cheng Qizhi. ”

"Xiangye, the reason why Xia Guan came to you at this time is not just to discuss the case with you. That's all the old man said, take care. ”

Gui Sinian stood up as he spoke.

Gui Sinian's words were a little foggy, and when Wu Xuehai saw that he was leaving, his brows moved slightly, and he also stood up.

"Lord Gui, please stay, since you came to the old man in your busy schedule, why can't you let you come and leave, the old man asked you to add tea again."

Gui Sinian raised the corners of his mouth, sat down again, looked at Wu Xuehai and said meaningfully: "Cheng Qizhi will probably be able to confess all the crimes under the means of Dali Temple today, and whoever has colluded with him will be announced to the public." ”

Wu Xuehai stroked his beard and suddenly changed the topic, "I heard that Cheng Qizhi's wife ran away?" Now the entire Dachen is her sea fishing clerk, Cheng Qizhi's daughter is still visiting relatives with her son-in-law, and he really doesn't even have a family around him. No one has visited him these days, has he? ”

Gui Sinian said with emotion: "The tree fell and scattered, Cheng Qizhi was imprisoned, and his family will not care about him in order to protect himself." ”

Wu Xuehai smacked his lips, "Tsk, the world is just like that." But there should be someone who will miss the old love and take care of him secretly, right? ”

After Wu Xuehai finished speaking, Gui Sinian instantly showed a sudden smile.

When Gui Sinian and Wu Xuehai met, the people who had been chasing Aunt Bai all the way had already gained something.

They found her in a town dozens of miles away from the capital.

Aunt Bai had changed into coarse cloth clothes, and she also smeared some dirt on her face to hide herself.

But because she disliked the poor taste of the noodles in the noodle restaurant, she also commanded the shopkeeper, which made the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law look very unpleasant.

They were discovered by the officials during the scuffle, and their scuffle attracted the officials.

Originally, the officials didn't recognize Aunt Bai, but she changed into coarse cloth clothes and made herself sloppy, but her fingers were white and tender, and she still had a gold and jade bracelet on her wrist.

Such expensive jewelry that did not match her identity instantly aroused the suspicion of a careful official.

The officials rummaged through her baggage, found that she had carried a burden of gold and silver, and completely confirmed her identity from the title deeds and house deeds she carried.

It turned out that she fled in a carriage, but she later found that the officials in the capital quickly distributed her portrait, in order not to attract attention, she chose to walk, and thought she was smart in disguise, but because of her arrogant and domineering personality, she was planted behind.

When Aunt Bai was taken back to Dali Temple, the sun was about to set.

It happened that Wan Feizhi felt stuffy in the house at that time and wanted to come out to breathe, and happened to see Aunt Bai escorted back by the official.

Recently, there was only one female prisoner who was wanted, Aunt Bai, so it didn't take Wan Feizhi much trouble to identify Aunt Bai.

When Wan Feizhi stared at Aunt Bai, Aunt Bai also glanced at her inadvertently, and the two looked at each other.

This look at each other was really unprecedentedly embarrassing, Aunt Bai couldn't wait to die on the spot immediately, and she didn't want Wan Feizhi to see herself so embarrassed.

But to her surprise, Wan Feizhi's eyes when she looked at her were not gloating as she imagined, but mixed with compassion and surprise.

Wan Feizhi also thought that she would gloat when she saw Aunt Bai become a prisoner, but when she really saw her virtue, Wan Feizhi didn't feel happy at the first time.

Aunt Bai is a person who has a blood connection with Bai Yusheng, and there is still a bit of similarity between her eyebrows and eyes with Bai Yusheng, maybe she is very similar to Bai Yusheng's biological mother, and Bai Yusheng will think of her mother when she sees her.

Wan Feizhi later learned that when she saw Aunt Bai, she was not sympathetic to her, but distressed Bai Yusheng.

Aunt Bai lowered her head after looking at Wan Feizhi, and her complicated emotions made her tears unstoppably stain her clothes.

Wan Feizhi didn't tell Bai Yusheng that she had been caught, but the patients and the guys were very happy to see her being caught, and they rushed to tell Bai Yusheng about it.

When Bai Yusheng heard this, the hand that was writing the prescription shook invisibly, but he said expressionlessly: "I know, she is evil and evil." ”

After the hospital closed, Wan Feizhi said to Bai Yusheng: "Xianggong, let's go see my aunt." ”

Wan Feizhi's eyes were full of concern when he spoke, and there was no hint of mockery.

Seeing her look, Bai Yusheng felt indescribable comfort in her heart, and took her hand emotionally and said, "Lady, you can say this regardless of your previous suspicions, I am very grateful to you." But we don't have to go to see her, and my mother wouldn't blame me if she knew. ”

Although Bai Yusheng said this, there was still a little loneliness in his eyes, Wan Feizhi didn't persuade him again, and said softly: "Then let's go home and see Gu Ze." ”

Gu Ze also heard about Aunt Bai's arrest, and he picked vegetables with Wan Pozi, talking about Aunt Bai's arrest.

Mrs. Wan was very relieved, and said gloatingly: "You don't know how much that mother-in-law looked down on people at the beginning, and scolded my daughter on the street." Okay now, how do I think she still pretends to be big? I'm afraid she'll be in prison for the rest of her life! ”

Gu Ze immediately corrected Mrs. Wan and said, "Old Madam Wan, you don't know how heavy the punishment is for corruption and officials who abuse their power and disregard people's lives. If it is found out that my aunt is really deeply involved in what Cheng Qizhi did, she will be guilty of killing her head. ”

Wan Pozi was stunned.

It is true that she hates Aunt Bai, and it is not false that she wants to see Aunt Bai have evil retribution, but she never thought of seeing Aunt Bai lose her life.

Cheng Qizhi is basically certain that he will not live, but as a wife who does not know about foreign affairs, will he also be punished so heavily?

Gu Ze saw that Wan Pozi didn't seem to believe it, and said: "Don't think she is innocent, some of the corrupt officials in the past dynasties were blown by their own wife, or simply became a corrupt official because of their own wife's greed." Since you want to be greedy for money, you will inevitably do illegal things, and some people will suffer, and some people will even lose their lives for it. ”

Wan Pozi couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she heard this: "What you said is that you can't underestimate the thoughts of women." It seems that I still have less knowledge and less consideration. ”

While the two were talking, Bai Yusheng and Wan Feizhi came back.

Wan Pozi and Gu Ze saw that the expressions of the two of them were a little serious, and guessed that Bai Yusheng should have felt a little uncomfortable after knowing that Aunt Bai was arrested.

Gu Ze asked tentatively, "You also know that she was arrested, right?" ”

Bai Yusheng nodded, "Well, we all know it." ”

Mrs. Wan said very humanely: "Yusheng, she is your aunt, do you want to take the time to see her?" ”

Bai Yusheng waved his hand, "I still won't go, Dali Temple just brought her back, I'm afraid I won't let people visit." ”

After Bai Yusheng finished speaking, he smiled faintly at everyone, "You don't have to worry about me, I do feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but she also deserves it, she will have to pay the price for what she has done after all." ”

Wan Pozi hurriedly said: "Then you and Feizhi go into the house to rest, you must be tired after a busy day." I boiled a pot of bird's nest lotus seed soup, you drink it first, and the meal will be almost ready. ”

Bai Yusheng nodded to Wan Pozi, and said to Gu Ze: "Brother Gu Ze, how do you feel today?" Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

Gu Ze said with gratitude: "I feel very good today, thanks to the careful diagnosis and treatment of you, your younger siblings and Uncle Bai, as well as the careful care of Mrs. Wan and Master Wan, Gu is grateful for your kindness." ”

As soon as Gu Ze finished speaking, a disciple came to report: "Young master, young lady, there is a woman outside who claims to be Mrs. Lu who wants to see Mr. Gu." ”
