Pushing Gu Yun to the front desk was indeed to allow him to accumulate more credit, and he could also be rated as a top student in the future. This is a plan for friends and a plan for his own plan. The reason is very simple. The more stable Gu Yun's status is, the safer Xu You will be in Qiantang. Only when his personal safety is not threatened can he continue to plan other things. But he didn't expect Gu Zhuo to take the initiative to add firewood to the fire. With the participation of this servant, the development of things seems to be beyond expectations.

As I said, Gu Zhuo's purpose, or the purpose of the Gu family, would not be as simple as accumulating contributions, and would definitely take advantage of this rare opportunity to let Gu Yun go further in the officialdom. Whether it is Wu County or Kuaiji County, they are all worthy of Shang County. Being able to serve as a prefect will be of great benefit to future promotions.

The short time to enter the officialdom, lack of experience in governing, lack of qualifications, and political enemies to stop them. These problems, as long as they are properly planned, are not a big problem for Gu. After all, in every dynasty, there are no fewer people who have been promoted. In later generations, there is also a similar word: promotion!

Backfire...

If Gu Yun left Qiantang and changed to a new county magistrate, Xu You might not be as free as he is now. However, he does not regret that the medicine is good now. Since he has taken this move, he has to continue to move forward. In the short term, there may be disadvantages, but in the long run, it will only be beneficial and harmless.

The matter of moving the prefecture was settled, and it was difficult to operate in detail. First, the official office had to be built in Jinling, and then gradually the officials were allocated, which would take at least one or two months to complete. At this time, Gu Yun sent the troops to Qingzhou to bring back good news - Zhou Ying'er was arrested.

Xu You met Zhou Ying'er in the prison of Qiantang County. Through the solid and thick wooden prison door, this bold toothless man lost his former cleverness. Seeing Xu You, Bao Xi and Du Sansheng appeared together, his body trembled like a sieve, his face was blue, his lips were ruptured, and his eyes were covered with blood. Obviously, he suffered a little on the way back to Qiantang from Qingzhou.

"Do you still remember me?"

Zhou Ying'er knelt down, her forehead lying on the ground and did not dare to raise it slightly. The sound was like a broken horn, making a harsh sound, saying, "Xu...Xu Langjun..."

"Very good! I haven't forgotten my old friends after making a fortune, which means that you are a good person." Xu You squatted down with a smile and said, "I still remember you very much when you called yourself the most trusted tooth in Qiantang County."

"Yes...I, I have been doing things for decades and have never made any mistakes..."

"Except this time!"

"Yes, except this time!"

Zhou Ying'er suddenly burst into tears. Xu You's smile made him shudder. His psychological defense suddenly collapsed and said, "Langjun Xu, please spare me! I owe all the gambling debts. If I don't pay them back, the whole family will not die well. I was desperate and had a bad intention. But... but I didn't dare to lie to you. The deeds and land deeds are all real..."

"Oh, what you mean, since I'm not fooled, I shouldn't meddle in other people's business, right?"

"I dare not...I dare..."

Xu You shook his head and said, "You can cheat 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, what else can you dare not do?"

Zhou Ying'er kowtowed wildly, her head thudding on the ground, and soon blood splattered everywhere, and her appearance was terrible. However, the three people standing in front of him were all scattered with a stagnant face, and Xu You quietly watched his blood flowing all over the ground, and said leisurely: "It's okay to spare you, but you have to exchange something..."

Zhou Ying'er immediately understood, knelt on the ground and crawled for a few steps, held the fence with both hands, and said anxiously: "Yes, I have! I only brought 300,000 yuan from Qiantang, and 200,000 yuan was buried in a hidden place."

"Huh!" Xu Youqi said: "Why don't you take them away? Are you leaving 200,000 yuan to benefit the elders?"

"I, I thought that if nothing happened in the future, I would... come back again. After all, there are Rongdi in the north, which is no different from beasts. I am afraid, I am afraid that I can't get used to it..."

Xu You almost laughed out loud. Zhou Ying'er's activities were worse than those of beasts. She also disliked the Hu people of the Northern Wei Dynasty who were not very civilized. She was really ignorant and fearless, and she was very stupid to take out!

Du Sansheng was a clerk, and he was much less self-cultivated. When he heard that he had 200,000 yuan, his eyes were shining with a greedy light and said, "Where is it?" He regretted it as soon as he said it. Zhou Ying'er wanted to use this money to exchange for his life, and would not easily reveal it. He was so anxious that he could see what Xu You and Bao Xi looked like.

"Well, you don't say a word of truth. If you want to negotiate terms, you have to show some sincerity." Du Sansheng said while secretly observing Bao Xi, and found that he didn't care, he felt relieved.

"Yes, I said, when I was caught, I only had 100,000 yuan of money, and 200,000 yuan was given to the Baiwu Shang, of which 100,000 yuan was entrusted to the Baiwu Shang to buy a household registration and land in Wei State. Those men could testify that they searched for my salute and spoke to the Baiwu Shang, knowing that I only had 300,000 yuan, and the remaining 200,000 yuan was buried outside the city, and no one except me knew it."

Although Zhou Ying'er was in a desperate situation, she still retained her cunning. Du Sansheng snorted coldly, but her eyes couldn't help but fall on Bao Xi's face. Bao Xi knew what he meant, and said lightly: "The 200,000 yuan of Baiwu Shang's money was recovered, and the 100,000 yuan of his body, because it was dark and messy, might have fallen into the water and was not found."

Hundreds of thousands of dollars fell into the water like this?

Zhou Ying'er raised her head in surprise and drooped again in an instant, lower than before. He was also a man in the city who was wandering around the streets and alleys, and knew the tricks in the yamen very well.

Du Sansheng laughed dryly, and understood in his heart that Gu Yun sent his family's troops to travel hundreds of miles and arrested Zhou Ying'er before he made a private transfer. Not to mention the credit, this hard work alone is not something that ordinary people can tolerate. One hundred thousand yuan is just a trivial matter.

Xu You and Du Sansheng thought differently. With Gu Yun's character, he would not embezzle the hard-earned money from the people. It must have been divided privately by those few departments, and he said nothing when he came back to report his life. However, they could deceive Gu Yun, but they could not deceive Bao Xi, but Bao Xi pretended not to know.

Or in his opinion, it is natural to use Gu’s relationship to get people and recover 200,000 yuan!

All four people present knew it well, but no one said it. Xu You pondered for a moment and said, "Prince Du, Zhou Ying'er cheated, fled, trampled privately, and punished all crimes. What should we do according to the law?"

"According to the law of stealing, lingchi!"

Zhou Ying'er suddenly opened her mouth wide, her eyes bulged out, like a dead fish whose air had been pulled away, her whole body was as stiff as a stone, and then she broke into pieces and collapsed, and she collapsed to the ground.

Du Sansheng was startled and hurriedly walked forward, stabbed him with a knife, and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, Mingfu has not passed the court yet."

"This is a matter of the yamen. I, an outsider, shouldn't be talking too much. However, I am a miser at least. Bao Zhubu, you don't know that Su Tang and a dozen people are still living in my house. They are noisy every day, and they are almost annoying." Xu You complained, saying, "Why would you rather let Zhou Ying'er hand over the 200,000 she hid. If you ask Su Tang for understanding, you can spare his life?"

Bao Xi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It depends on whether County Magistrate Du can make a fuss."

Du Sansheng understood Xu You's intention and said coldly: "No! Zhou Ying'er's private transit to Wei State is a crime of a great rebellion. If he is pardoned, he will be cut into three hundred knives. Xu Langjun, it's not that I don't give you face, but I can't do anything about the country's fascination."

Zhou Ying'er bit her teeth and said viciously: "It's too big to die, but you can't find that 200,000 yuan!"

Du Sansheng smiled and looked gloomy and terrifying, saying, "This is the first time I'm going to the prison cell? Miki is wearing it, and any hero has to open his mouth. It's not that easy to die!"

Sweat beads oozing from Zhou Ying'er's forehead, her face turned pale, but she bit her lip tightly and said no more.

Xu You could see clearly. Zhou Ying'er just gave in and pleaded for life. When she heard that Du Sansheng refused to be able to be complacent, she was also trying to survive. He was able to make a name for himself in Qiantang, but he was actually a ruthless character. He changed his face from front to back and forth, and he was really a member of the foot of the car and ship shop.

"What Du County Magistrate said is reasonable. If you buy a life of 200,000 yuan, your life is worthless."

Xu You was very tempted and said, "Well, do you have any valuable things? You are willing to sacrifice money and life. If you die, it is useless to hide it, right? Or you can have any secrets. Of course, it is not a secret that is too long. If it is beneficial to the Ming Mansion, the court, and the common people, you have been doing it for so many years and have rich experiences. You will never have any secrets, right?"

"I, I..."

Zhou Ying'er thought hard, almost digging her brain out and looking for it. Suddenly, she screamed, "I remembered that Baiwu Shang, yes, Li Qingyu. His fleet abducted and sold good women from Yangzhou, and then secretly transported them to Wei State to be dog prostitutes for the high-ranking officials and nobles. Many of them were tortured to death!"

Xu You and Bao Xi looked at each other, and no one expected to ask about such a thing. Du Sansheng was in charge of the prison and was most sensitive to these things. He changed his expression and said, "Zhou Ying'er, if you arrange lies to survive, I will really cut you alive!"

Zhou Ying'er shouted: "I dare not make any false statement. Li Qingyu is a white and black merchant who sells brocade silk and silk. In fact, he is doing a business of abducting dogs and prostitutes behind his back, and he makes dozens of times more profits..."

"What is a dog prostitute?" Xu You asked confused when he heard Zhou Ying'er mention this word twice.

"It is to train beautiful women to be like dogs, eat and live with cattle and sheep naked, and let their owners bully and humiliate them. I heard that none of these dogs and prostitutes can survive for a year, so they have to buy them from Yangzhou frequently." Zhou Ying'er's lips trembled, and she was also frightened by such tragic things that are contrary to family. She said: "Only the women in Yangzhou are as moist as flowers, and they sell at the price, and they are not good at other places!"

Du Sansheng pulled out his waist knife, aimed it at Zhou Ying'er's heart through the fence, and said hideously: "I'll ask you again, is it a lie?"

Zhou Ying'er trembled and forced herself to say, "If there is a false word, I will die without a place to bury me!"

"Okay, put away the knife! We can all see that he didn't lie!"

Bao Xi signaled to Xu You and turned around and walked out. Xu You followed him out and heard Bao Xi's low voice: "Li Qingyu has something to do with He!"

The sun was as bright as spring outside, but Xu You's body was cold!
