The next day, Gu Yunji hung his head and listened to Mei Feng's reprimand without saying a word.

Mei Feng's face turned red with anger, and he didn't know what to do with him, so he chattered and scolded: "You know that you came to me now?" Why did you go early! People have been arrested and put in prison by you, and they still come to ask me what to do with it, don't you cut them all first, and ask me what to do! ”

"Your kid is also really fast, from Yu Jingming said that there are people in Shaoxing Mansion to today, but only three or four days have passed, you not only investigated the case clearly, but also caught the prisoner, I haven't reacted yet, you sent people to the execution ground!"

Mei Feng's scolding hit his head and face, and Gu Yunji at this moment was in good spirits, looking like he had done something wrong, and couldn't help but whisper: "...... After all, I made a promise that day, and I can't explain to you if I don't catch the culprit......"

Mei Feng laughed angrily: "Then I have to praise you?" ”

Gu Yunji immediately lowered his head: "Don't dare." ”

Mei Feng took a deep breath and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "If you catch someone else, forget it, the key is the Xu family, Xu Shuchang is the teacher's own nephew!" If you want to arrest him, should you discuss it with the teacher, and if it doesn't work, should you say hello to me? ”

Axiom is axiom, human favor is human favor, of course Gu Yunji understands this truth, if he tells Mei Feng in advance, things will indeed be easier, and the relationship with the Xu family will not become so stiff. But in that case, Xu Shuchang will not be able to be dealt with seriously in accordance with national law.

The confrontation between the imperial court and Gao Shishu has reached a stalemate, Xu Shuchang has to bear at least half of the responsibility, Gu Yunji can't tolerate such a person getting away with it, let alone because of the in-law relationship between the two families, so that the people feel that he bends the law for personal gain, and the officials and gentry protect each other.

Seeing that Gu Yunji didn't speak, and he didn't know if he listened or not, Mei Feng was angry: "Let's not talk about what the teacher will think if he knows, what about Shuhua?" Xu Shuchang is her cousin, have you ever taken into account your lady's feelings? ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunji glanced up at him, and stopped talking.

Looking at Gu Yunji's expression, Mei Feng instantly remembered something, suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and said, "Oh-I almost forgot, you and your husband often went together to catch Xu Shu." It is said that yesterday, the eldest lady of the Xu family was so majestic in the ancestral hall that she forced the prisoner out with a sword, isn't it? ”

Gu Yunji was silent, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

There were many people at the scene yesterday, and in just one day, the news of Xu Shuhua's righteous killing of relatives spread in the city. Most of them are praises, some people say that she is worthy of being the descendant of Xu Wenzhenggong, as a woman, but she has the courage and measure beyond men.

Some people praised Gu Yunji, saying that their husbands and wives were born as a couple. When Gu Yunji came to look for Mei Feng early this morning, he heard that the storyteller in the roadside teahouse had compiled their deeds into a new chapter of the anti-Japanese story and began to tell it to the people.

There is no doubt that Xu Shuchang and even the Xu family are villains in the story. Therefore, after yesterday, the opposite of the praise of the city was the hostile attitude of the Xu family towards Gu Yunji and the others.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji was a little powerless: if it had been in the past, he would never have imagined that he would have such a situation with the Xu family.

The key is that in this way, the couple put Xu Chengyu in an extremely dilemma, on the one hand, the family and nephew, on the other hand, the daughter and son-in-law, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and choosing which side is like the pain of cutting meat.

Gu Yunji didn't regret catching Xu Shuchang, and he also thought that this was a matter of course in his heart, but he asked himself, he still felt ashamed of Xu Chengyu, so in the face of Mei Feng's reprimand today, he didn't have a word of rebuttal.

Xu Shuhua and the Xu family are truly connected by blood, compared to Gu Yunji, Xu Shuhua can stand on the side of righteousness, and he must have made a more difficult parting than him. Although Mei Feng was still angry, he couldn't help but worry, and said in a stiff tone: "What about Shuhua?" How is she? ”

"Shuhua used force in Xu's house yesterday, and he went back to the Xu clan ancestral hall early this morning to ask for punishment and kneel."

Seeing that Mei Feng's face changed in an instant, Gu Yunji hurriedly added: "I sent someone to follow her, the Xu family didn't dare to do anything to her, and I went to punish her today just to save face for both sides, not to really admit my mistakes to the Xu family." ”

After all, Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua both thought that they were not at fault in arresting Xu Shuchang.

Mei Feng's expression eased slightly when he heard this, and when he learned that Xu Shuhua was fine, the anger in his heart immediately rose again: "I feel that the two of you only arrested people majestically yesterday, and today one will go back to Xu's house to admit his mistakes, and the other will come to me to ask for guilt, you ...... You really deserve to be a couple! ”

Gu Yunji silently lowered his head and let Mei Feng reprimand.

After a while, Mei Feng slowly exhaled a breath, calmed down and said, "What about the teacher, what did you say?" ”

Gu Yunji was silent for a moment, buried his head lower, and muttered, "I haven't said ...... yet."

"What? Not yet! ”

Mei Feng's eyes widened in shock, and his blood rushed straight to his head at once, and he felt that this little junior brother was Laike's own, and looked at him in disbelief: "Something so big happened, didn't you write to the teacher to explain it as soon as possible, are you waiting for the Xu family to sue in front of you, so that the teacher can misunderstand you!" ”

Gu Yunji shrunk his neck when he was yelled, and whispered: "I was busy trying Xu Shuchang's case yesterday, and I haven't had time to ...... it yet."

In fact, this is an excuse, no matter how busy Gu Yunji is, he won't even have time to write a letter, he is afraid.

Gu Yunji was afraid that Xu Chengyu would be angry with him, so he arrested Xu Shuchang and was very disappointed in him; He was afraid that Xu Chengyu would have a bad heart from then on, and gradually disliked him; He was even more afraid that Xu Chengyu wouldn't say anything, no one would blame him, and he seemed to be tolerant and generous, but it made him feel even more uncomfortable.

In the final analysis, Gu Yunji was not sure that Xu Chengyu would definitely understand him in this matter and stand on his side.

After all, Xu Shuchang is the only bloodline left by Xu Chengyu's deceased brother, and he has seen with his own eyes how Xu Chengyu cares about and values Xu Shuchang, and hopes that he will have a happy life.

Now that Gu Yunji has personally put Xu Shuchang in prison, ruining the second half of his happy life, Gu Yunji can't imagine how Xu Chengyu will react when he finds out.

Seeing the little junior brother's bitter face, Mei Feng knew that he was not feeling good in his heart, so he said slowly: "Xu Shuchang, how are you going to judge?" ”

Gu Yunji's throat was choked, and he said with difficulty: "...... A few months ago, His Majesty had listed Gao Shishu as a thief, and Xu Shuchang colluded with him, so he should be punished for the same crime...... However, he only bought and sold grain, and did not have the subjective will to confront the imperial court. ”

He was forced out of the ancestral hall by Shuhua, and he could barely be regarded as surrendering, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes after his arrest was acceptable, so he could be given a lenient punishment, and he is currently ...... Provisional exile. ”
