The evidence was conclusive, and after dealing with Xue Liu and several officials involved, Gu Yunji eased his tone, and said to Qi Zhijian and Zhang Cuiying: "It will take some time to collect evidence and sort out the files, during this time, you will wait for news at home first, you can rest assured, I will definitely bring Xue Liu to justice and give you an explanation." ”

The two who watched the whole process were already in tears, especially Zhang Cuiying, who watched with her own eyes how Gu Yunji was promoted to the court for interrogation, collected evidence step by step, and finally succeeded in arresting Xue Liu.

In the past three years, in order to redress her father and husband's grievances, Zhang Cuiying has encountered too many obstacles and ridicule. In Yibin County, Xue Liu covered the sky with one hand, and she had no way to ask for help; The whole city of Xuzhou Mansion has also been taken care of by Xue Liu, whether it is the prefect Yan Zhengqian or the same acquaintance Chen Xunzhou, they all ignore this and will not accept it.

Thinking of the sad past of redress of grievances, this belated justice result is even more commendable at this moment. Zhang Cuiying has mixed feelings in her heart, there is sadness and desolation, but more is the joy and excitement of being wronged.

She knelt in front of Gu Yunji all of a sudden, kowtowed several times, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Gu!" Thank you, Lord Gu! Your great kindness, the people's daughter is toothless and unforgettable, and she will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life! ”

Gu Yunji hurriedly turned sideways to avoid her salute, and reached out to help her up: "This is my responsibility, not to mention great kindness, where is it worthy of you to be a cow and a horse?" After the verdict of this case, you can live your life in peace, which is the best reward for me. ”

Zhang Cuiying wiped her tears and said a little embarrassedly: "That day by the river, Master Gu paid for the rice for me, not only did I not thank you, but I also left you there and ran away by yourself, I'm really sorry." ”

"Mainly at that time, on the one hand, I didn't know your identity, and I was worried that you were a person sent by Xue Liu, and on the other hand, the rice tank at home was at the bottom, and my husband and children were so hungry that I couldn't take care of it so much."

"It's just a small thing, I can understand, you don't have to take it to heart." Gu Yunji smiled slightly, and took out a silver ingot from his arms, "You didn't cut much rice that day, you should be almost finished eating these days, right?" Take this money and buy some grain and pork back, I see that your daughter and husband are very thin and need to be replenished. ”

Zhang Cuiying said in a panic: "This, how can this be done? I haven't even paid you back the rice money that day, how can I take your money again? ”

Gu Yunji couldn't help but stuff the silver into her hand: "If you haven't paid it back yet, take it first." There should still be some time before Xue Liu's verdict, and your family will have to eat during this time, right? There is no silver, and your family's rice has been stolen by the natives again, is it possible that you have to go to the bank of the river to cut the rice planted by the Chen family? ”

"If you really don't want to, you have the right to borrow this money from you, and pay me back when you have enough money."

Zhang Cuiying's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but after accepting the money, she thanked him again.

After coming out of Zhang's house, Gu Yunji returned to the government and began to write and sort out the case file of Xue Liu's invasion of Tian and murder, and improve the chain of evidence.

With the title deed in Zhang Cuiying's hand and Qi Zhijian's leg injury, it can basically be determined that after Xue Liu was forced to change land, he forcibly occupied the land and instructed his subordinates to injure people and disable. As for Zhang Fengyi's death, without waiting for Xue Liu to admit it, the officials who participated in the beating could not bear the torture and rushed to confess.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and when they heard that Xue Liu was imprisoned, those who had been bullied and oppressed by him and had a grudge against him ran to the government to complain about him. I don't know if I don't check, Gu Yunji found out that the crimes committed by Xue Liu are simply too many to write, and ten heads are not enough to cut off.

Although some things are old, the evidence is missing, and the authenticity is no longer verifiable, but just the case of the Zhang family and the bribery credentials that Xue Liu wrote down when he first took office were enough to confiscate his family property and sentence him to behead him for public display.

Half a month has passed, and the relevant personnel in Xue Liu's case should have been imprisoned, and the evidence that should have been collected was almost collected, so Gu Yunji was sent to make a final public verdict on Xue Liu.

However, after Gu Yunji sorted out all the evidence in the case, he just detained Xue Liu and others, and delayed his conviction, as if he was waiting for something.

On this day, Gu Yunji was reading the official document in the mansion, and Chen Peishi came in to report: "My lord, I know that Lord Chen is visiting." ”

Gu Yunji raised his head from the official document, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "After waiting for so many days, he finally can't sit still." Invite Master Chen to the living room, and I'll go over right away. ”

"Yes."

Moments later, inside the living room.

Gu Yunji smiled enthusiastically: "Lord Chen took the time to come, and the lower officials are far away." ”

Chen Xunzhou was also full of smiles, and his attitude was a little more enthusiastic than Gu Yunji: "Lord Gu is polite, what is the time to spare, you are much busier than me during this time, speaking of which, I still disturbed Lord Gu." ”

Chen Xunzhou is worthy of being an old fritter in the officialdom, and the scene is one after another: "The entire Xuzhou Mansion has heard that Lord Gu has taken office as a new official, and his butt has not yet been hot in the mansion, so he first turned around the mansion and several surrounding villages and towns, and his shoes were worn out several pairs. This diligent and dedicated heart really makes us ashamed of ourselves. ”

Gu Yunji also replied without leaking, and said humbly: "Lord Chen is serious. When Xia Guan first arrived in Xuzhou Mansion, he was not familiar with the place, and there was no difference between his eyes and a black eye, and he was not as good as Lord Chen, who had been operating locally for a long time, and knew all the civil affairs of Xuzhou Mansion well. Xia Guan was stupid, and he was afraid that he would disturb Lord Chen and Governor Yan by asking for advice frequently, so he had to rely on a pair of legs and go to learn to see it in person. ”

Chen Xunzhou had a bigger smile on his face, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "It stands to reason that Master Gu has just arrived, and we should wait for a banquet to entertain him." But recently, Mr. Gu ran around during the day, and before it was time to get off duty in the evening, he was personally taken home by Mrs. Ling, telling me to wait for 'no chance to take it'. ”

Gu Yunji smiled a little embarrassed, looking embarrassed by someone who had broken through his family: "...... Neiko has strict rules, I am not allowed to sleep outside and sleep in the willows, and I have to go home for dinner when the time comes, and I ...... Don't dare to disobey ......"

Chen Xunzhou laughed when he heard this, and teased: "I didn't expect that Master Gu is such a young talent, he would be afraid of guilt, you are so young and so strictly controlled, how can you get it in the next few decades hahahahahaha......hahahahahahahahaha

"Yes, yes, Lord Chen is right......

Gu Yunji snorted and echoed a few words perfunctorily, and suddenly he changed his words and asked unexpectedly, "Lord Chen is here this time...... What is going on? ”
