Chapter 30: A Sharp Turn
Overnight, the circumstances of the case changed drastically, and the two main criminals not only "hanged themselves" in prison, but also left a bloody letter accusing the Huiji County Law Department of joining the army and extorting confessions through torture.
Lu County, who adhered to the low-key Lu County Order, finally couldn't keep a low profile anymore, and openly fought with Bao Shenjun, accusing Bao Senjun of Weiling County, persecuting officials, and writing to Taishou Xue for impeachment.
And Zhang Mo, who provided the initial clues to the case and was responsible for the arrest, suddenly disappeared, and the He family inquired about his whereabouts in many ways, and finally got the news that he was "going to the assistant manager of the county".
Gu Zuo volunteered to go to the county town to find Zhang Mo's whereabouts, and Jin Fengben, who was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, also agreed, but was stopped before leaving.
"No need to go. "The gold offering has the strength to do nothing.
"What's the matter? Zhang Xingcao is a key witness, how can he not go to find it?" Gu Zuo asked.
"The case has gone to Wei Guogong. ”
"Wei Guogong?"
"Jiangdong Provincial Interview Envoy, Wei Zhi, Duke of Xunguo. Lu County ordered and we Bao to join the army to impeach each other, because the matter involved Xue Taishou, and the case was handed over to the interview to make Wei Guo judge. ”
Gu Zuo realized something: "This Wei Guogong, is there a problem?"
Jin Fengfeng sighed: "On the third day of the Wei Guo Axiom case, I summoned Lu County Ling and Xue Taishou for questioning for three days, but I never saw Bao join the army. ”
Gu Zuo knew that something was wrong, and he didn't know what to say, but he comforted: "Maybe it's just that Wei Guogong's way of trying the case is different, maybe it will be Bao's turn to join the army in the next three days......" Speaking later, he also felt far-fetched.
Jin Xianfeng shook his head and sneered: "When the old man of Shicai summoned us to discuss, he told Wei Zhi that Wei Zhi was on the table, and he was happy to talk with Taishou and the county order while eating." ”
Gu Zuo was speechless for a moment, although he didn't know Wei Zhi, but at least he understood what the two titles of "Xun Guogong" and "Jiangnan Dongdao Interview Envoy" meant, which were figures who had risen to the top in the local area.
Huiji County is already difficult enough to keep Xue Judgment, and now that there is another Wei Zhi on the other side, can Master He beat them?
"What the hell are they trying to do?"
"Naturally, people won't recognize what they want to do, but we know it in our hearts. Originally, it may have been aimed at Niangniang and Yang Xiang, but now that the trick has been exposed by us, we have to clear up the relationship and do our best to protect ourselves. ”
"Wei Guogong is Li Xiang's person?"
"It's not good to say, even if he comes out, it can't be said that he is Li Xiang's person, and there is a lot of room for contacts with characters like him. It's just that in this matter, he is standing opposite the boss. ”
"Is there anyone else?" Gu Zuo only felt that his head hurt. At first, it was just Ji Bantou, and then he brought out Dong County Lieutenant and Zuo County Cheng, and then brought out Xue Taishou, and now even Wei Guogong has come out, who will be next?
Scared, scared, Gu Zuo's liver trembled.
Jin Xianfeng didn't answer this question, he couldn't answer either, he looked at the front without knowing where, and said tiredly: "What does Old Master He mean, take a step back, and stop here, let's not sue them for planting, and they don't think about it anymore." ”
"Wei Zhi and Xue Juan ...... Did they agree?"
"Bai Xianfeng has already rushed to the county seat to test Wei Zhi and Xue Ju's tone. ”
"Does the boss have a relationship with Sima Daoyin, although Longrui Palace does not do political affairs, but the other party framed him with a demon cat, which involves cultivation......" Gu Zuo came up with an idea.
Jin Xianfeng shook his head and said: "There are a few points of friendship, but there is no friendship over there?" Now that the evidence is gone, how do you say Sima Daoyin should be judged?"
Gu Zuo thought for a moment and asked, "Zhang Mo rebelled against the change...... Voted over there?"
Jin Xianfeng continued to shake his head: "I don't know...... But Lu County's order has already fallen over the wall, and even if Zhang Mo doesn't fall over, he probably won't dare to speak. ”
Gu Zuo said in frustration: "Could it be that after working for so long, it is such a result of no beginning and no end?"
Jin Xianfeng comforted: "Don't be afraid, the person who can threaten you is the county lieutenant Dong, he is dead, and this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
Gu Zuo hurriedly surrendered his hand: "It is all the care of the seniors and the protection of the He family, so that the younger generations can survive...... But, Lu Xianling and Xue Taishou won't remember their juniors, right?"
Jin Xianfeng sneered: "Let's not take ourselves too seriously, I guess these two don't even take Jin to heart, let alone a little qi refiner?"
Gu Zuo thought that this was the case, and felt a little relieved, and said "ashamed" in his mouth.
Three days later, Bai Xian brought back a very bad news, Wei Zhi and Xue Juan agreed to Master He's proposal to "take a step back", but the problem was that they asked Master He to "retreat" this step was a bit far.
"They asked Master He to build a meditation and live in seclusion and be admitted to the Tao. Jin Xianfeng informed Gu Zuo of the latest progress in the small courtyard.
"This ...... Mr. He has resigned and returned to his hometown, and they are still not at ease?"
Of course, don't worry, although the old man said that he returned home, but the fame is still resounding in the government and the opposition, the poems written by the world are sung, and many people are willing to listen to what they say. How can they rest assured of such a character?"
"Did you agree?"
"The place has been chosen, Lu County ordered the mirror lake to be allocated to the He family, Xue sentenced to send ten gold cakes, as the capital of the construction of the view, Wei Zhi wrote a letter, saying that he heard that the old man has the idea of entering the Tao, and specially sent the Taoist temple tickets and plaques, and even the name of the view was thought of for the old man, and the name was called 'Qianqiu Guan'. ”
Gu Zuo asked: "The matter of Liguan is under the control of Longrui Palace, right? Can Sima Jian Yuan agree to them to come so strongly?"
Jin said: "Lu County Order, Xue Taishou all the way to Wei Guogong, layer by layer reported to Longrui Palace, all the documents are complete. Sima Jian Yuan was very happy, and specially wrote to ask the boss what he thought, saying that there was an old man to join, and it was scheduled to be a grand event in Jiangdong Daomen. You say, what else can the old man do?"
The other party's series of dazzling operations, like mountains pressing on the head, pressed the He family without temper. Of course, Mr. He can stalk his neck and disagree with Gou, but after all, the He family is in Huiji County, and they are subject to local control, and they are embarrassed from time to time.
Obviously, Mr. He was wronged, and he sat at home, and the disaster came from the sky, but in the end, it was as if the other party was reasonable, pressing step by step, and the key victim had to do what others asked, thanking others for not killing themselves.
In the autumn, the Qianqiu Temple was completed, and Mr. He was helpless, and finally wrote to His Majesty, saying that he had the heart to enter the Tao, and since then he has not heard about the world, and has devoted himself to cultivation.
His Majesty thanked the old man for his heart to the Tao, so he issued an order to encourage him and send a poem to congratulate, the poem said:
He entered the Tao during the legacy period, and he quit his old man and drew hairpins.
Don't hesitate to be virtuous, it is like a noble heart.
The secret of the world is scattered.
The heroes want to say goodbye, and the road is full of brilliance.
So Mr. He received the Tao and moved into the Qianqiu Temple.
Since you have chosen to bow your head, you have to lower your head to the end and keep it low to the satisfaction of the other party, otherwise there is no point in bowing your head, but there will be endless troubles. The He family returned all the old houses by the Xijiang River to the county, used them to "replace" Jinghu, rebuilt the house around the Qianqiu Temple, and moved there before winter.
Not long after, the boss's new work came out and was sent to Chang'an, which was the last response to His Majesty:
I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and I have been half-worn recently.
Only the mirror lake in front of the door, the spring breeze does not change the old waves.
It is said that Wei Guogong was very satisfied and gave another 100,000 yuan, thinking that he was the capital of the old man to cultivate the Tao and alchemy.
