Chapter 40 Yin-Yang Fish Face

Gu Yun's family background, appearance, talent, and character are all the best choices. Even if he is in Jiangdong, which has many aristocratic families, he is also the best. Even if Pan An is not as popular as a girl, he should never have emotional problems.

"One is Zhang Xuanji of Zhang. He is over 29 years old. He is well-educated, gentle, kind, respectful, and frugal. He is very talented and elegant. He is very talented. He is no less than that of Lu Xu, the most talented man in Jiangdong. He is well-versed in the Five Classics and is good at writing."

Xu You stayed there and gritted his teeth and said, "You don't even look down on such a girl?"

This is really angering for people. Fanglan is so seldom that she is in a state of mind, with a scent and graceful manner. She describes a woman's praise. The troubles of being tall, rich and handsome are indeed not something that ordinary people can understand.

Gu Yun said distressedly: "If I only end this, I will certainly be able to see it. But there is still some information... Lu Xuanji's left face has a blue-black fetal mark, which was ridiculed by the long-tongued women as a yin and yang fish face. At first glance, it makes people shudder. And from the face, Qinggui's face is worrying, white is sad, and black is sick. Lu Xuanji's left face is blue-black, and his right face is snow-white. Three colors gather together, and he may be an unknown person. This incident has been rumored to be a sensation among the clans. He is so old and he is unwilling to give in, so he has not yet married."

"Since the clans are unwilling to marry her, how could they be among your candidates?"

Gu Yun sighed: "Zhang Xuanji's father Zhang Jiao is Sima of Jiangzhou. He has had contacts with his father and has deep friendship. Occasionally, Zhang Sima sighed a lot and took out Zhang Xuanji's poems and essays to his father for comment. His father did not believe in the ghosts and gods of those sorcerers. He believed that marrying a wife should be a virtue, and he really appreciated Zhang Xuanji's talents, so the two of them verbally agreed. However, the eldest mother firmly disagreed, thinking that it was a humiliation of the family, and his father couldn't force me to get married, but he felt ashamed of Zhang Sima and refused to retire. Now he was dragging it on like this and didn't know what to do."

During the Six Dynasties, grandmother was called the eldest mother and grandfather was called the eldest father, collectively called the eldest parents. Xu You sighed and said, "What about the other one?"

"In order to dispel my father's idea, the eldest mother asked someone to ask for information and recognized Lu Weiyang from the Lu family. This woman is very beautiful and often said that a woman is virtuous without talent. She knows how to read "The Women's Commandments" every day, and regards her father and brother as the god, obeys her words, and has no knowledge or ideas. She is ridiculed as a carved seat screen..."

"How can I explain this?"

"The seat screen does not move, it is just the decorations are beautiful!"

What else can Xu You say, saying: "Either you are ugly and beautiful or you are unintentional. Don't say you are embarrassed. I'll have a headache if I think about it! I can't do anything like this, I can only depend on what choice you make!"

“Where is my turn to make the choice?”

Gu Yun shook his head repeatedly, like a young man confused about love and marriage, and said, "Let's go and drink, you will stop when you get drunk, and you will stop when you get drunk!"

I had a meal at the county government office at noon, and I had to investigate the case later, so I couldn't drink too much. Xu You advised Gu Yun to taste it briefly and failed to enjoy it. After lunch, Gu Yun took Xu You to the back garden. The thick cloth curtains surrounded the pavilion, used the ground fire to keep warm, grind ink and paint, and wrote poems. He was very comfortable and satisfied, and he had the pleasure of not being able to drink.

As Shen Shichu approached, the yamen soldiers who had been sent to Zhou Village to get people came back to report. Baihua's brother and sister-in-law were taken to the hall and summoned Hong Qi again. Without too much inquiries, they beat the ground with sticks. The yamen soldiers shouted and immediately collapsed to the ground, confessing everything in detail.

Gu Yun was furious and had such a tragic incident that was against human nature under his rule. He sold his sister to insult his mother, and the world did not tolerate him. As a county magistrate, he was also faceless, so he was severely sentenced to Hong Qi's hanging, and Baihua's brother and sister-in-law were both guilty and executed together!

Bao Xi opposed it and said: "According to theft, the ruling law can only be sentenced to exile. The Ming Dynasty was sentenced to death and the case of the report to the Ministry will be rejected. At that time, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly damaged."

Gu Yun said coldly: "Sir, are confused! How can you kill these two villains on the grounds of plundering and selling off their sister? This dynasty governs the world with filial piety. Not only did they not serve their sick mothers with care, but they did not give them food and clothing, which led to their sleepy beds and torture to death. It is not an exaggeration to cut them into pieces by just this one!"

What he could have thought of was how could Bao Xi not have thought of it? But in this way, insulting his mother to death would inevitably lead to public discussions in the court. If Liu Ning seized the blame for the uneasy people, it would be even more difficult to promote it.

Bao Xi signaled Xu You with his eyes. He was also one of the witnesses in this case. His style of handling things is not as stubborn as Gu Yun. He should know the pros and cons and said: "The Ming Dynasty is not in a hurry, so why not listen to what Xu Langjun said first?"

Gu Yun thought for a while and said, "Okay, Weizhi, do you think you should be sentenced to death by two people?"

"Should!"

Xu You did not hesitate, regardless of Bao Xi's already blue face, and said, "If I come to break, they will die without a place to die. But Feiqing is not me. You are carrying the safety and welfare of tens of thousands of people in Qiantang. The verdict should be carried out according to the law. You cannot arbitrarily sentence or reduce sentences based on personal emotions. Since the thief law clearly states that those who sell their relatives for the time being are exiled, Feiqing will be punished for death, which is not only a matter of the population but also inconsistent with the law."

"This..." Gu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought Weizhi hated these crimes of looting good people the most..."

"I do hate it to the core, but law is law, so Feiqing must submit a report to the court to make the same crime as the buyer and seller. However, before the court revises the law, it can only use the current law to decide the jail matters and cannot be at will!"

Xu You is not a paranoid patient who only emphasizes the spirit of the rule of law. Sometimes things that the law cannot solve are not resolved, and he does not mind taking some extraordinary measures. However, Baihua's parents are not alive, and her brother and sister-in-law are her only close relatives. How to deal with them? Xu You hopes to let Baihua decide on one day in the future.

Gu Yun stood up, bowed, and said seriously: "My words are like enlightenment. Please accept my tribute!"

Xu You returned the favor and said, "Feiqing is happy when he hears his mistakes. He is really better than me, and he is ashamed of me!"

Bao Xi watched the two bow to each other, which was relieved that Xu You convinced Gu Yun and no longer insisted on his own, but he felt a burst of uneasiness deep in his heart - his influence on Gu Yun was finally weaker than Xu You!

After a while, Gu Yun sent Xu You away. As soon as he arrived at Lianchi, he heard the noise of several people outside Yimen Gate. He was about to go and see why, a guard guard fell backwards and hit the railing and fell head-on into the pool water.

With a plop, the tall and majestic Zhu Rui appeared behind him in front of Gu Yun and Xu You!

Several other yamen soldiers unsheathed their swords and surrounded Zhu Rui, but were afraid of his martial arts and did not dare to take action rashly. Gu Yun's face darkened and he said, "Zi Ming, what are you doing!"

Zhu Rui's face was even more gloomy than Gu Yun, and he said, "I'll come to ask you for help!"

Xu You wanted to laugh when he heard this. He was so tough to ask someone for help. It was so powerful that my brother. Gu Yun didn't find it funny at all. He knew Zhu Rui's temper and could abandon his past grudges and come forward to ask himself in person. Something great must have happened. He didn't care about his fault for trespassing the yamen. He asked with concern: "What happened?"

"Lingbo is gone!"

"Ah?" Gu Yun suddenly changed his expression and said, "When did he disappear?"

Zhu Rui didn't care about Xu You's presence, or he didn't have Xu You at this moment, and explained the reason for the incident in detail. It turned out that after Du Mingyu visited Zhu that day, Zhu Lingbo secretly left the house. From top to bottom, he thought she rode a horse to the riverside for a trip, and no one cared about it. After all, this girl was wild and brave, and went out privately for no reason. But at night, she still disappeared. Zhu Li sent someone to search and searched the two sides of the Fuchuan River. In the early morning of the next day, she found several horse hoof prints that were almost unrecognizable, and she walked all the way to Qiantang in the north.

Zhu Li knew this daughter very well and knew that she wanted to go to Qiantang to find Zhu Rui. While sending someone to Qiantang to inform Zhu Rui, he also sent someone to follow the hoof prints to search for Zhu Lingbo.

Zhu Lingbo was already eccentric and had the most ideas. She was afraid that she would be caught by Zhu Li, which would make her fail. When she left Fuchun County, she rode a little red horse to the east and sometimes to the west, and her journey was erratic. In addition, the red horse was a BMW specially bought by Zhu Li from a country in the Western Regions, and her foot distance was far faster than that of other horses, which caused a headache for the troops searching for her.

However, Zhu Lingbo was a little girl after all, and she was not experienced in the world. Although she was lucky enough to get rid of the pursuers, after a long time, she could not get rid of the followers of the troops after buying food and drink. After two days, she was about to meet her head. No one expected that heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky, and the hoof prints were completely gone in the upper reaches of the Fuchun River. The troops searched for Qiantang for more than ten miles, but there was still no sign of people and horses. They immediately panicked and divided into three routes, searching carefully along the east, south and west. After a day, there was still no trace.

Zhu Li received news from the troops at home. It had been five days since Zhu Lingbo left home. The girl he loved most was not seen in life or in death. He was furious and furious. Zhu's family had been working in Wujun and even in Jiangdong for a hundred years, and had never happened. He immediately took hundreds of the most elite troops from Fuchun and arrived in Puyangjin one day. In order to prevent Zhu Lingbo from disappearing, it caused speculation and discussion from the outside world, and affected his daughter's reputation and personal safety. Zhu Li did not show up publicly, but hid in the dark to command, proclaiming to the outside world that he had captured a thief who climbed over the wall and robbed the wealthy family, and spread all the troops he brought. With Puyangjin as the center, he went from house to house within a radius of 30 miles, searching in an inch by inch, and it took more than 20 days without any progress.

Zhu Li was furious, a living person and a priceless horse, and no matter what, he could not find any signs. Just when Zhu's fourth son Zhu Zhi rushed from Kuaiji County, took over the command, and after careful analysis, he narrowed his search scope and focused on the surrounding fifteen miles away. He did not miss a little clue, so he opened a breakthrough from an extremely easily overlooked information.

In the northwest of Puyangjin, the thieves were forced to go to a dead end. Once they found that they were hopeless to escape, they would kill a girl Zhu like killing a horse and destroying her corpse and fleeing. At that time, the world is so big, where can they seek revenge? Besides, if the person is gone, killing them ten thousand times will be useless."

Gu Yun was shocked and said, "I didn't expect this level..."

Zhu Rui showed admiration in his eyes and nodded, "I mean that too, but I didn't understand what Xu Langjun said clearly."

Xu You would not take such polite words seriously. Zhu Rui was very polite to him since he met today. He probably wouldn't be aimless. As for why, he couldn't think of it now, but he didn't mind making friends with this person. He said: "Now they are willing to continue to hold Zhu's hostage instead of killing him. Maybe they have the intention to trade and want to have a way to survive. The most important thing at the moment is how to contact this group of thieves!"

Zhu Rui's eyes were no longer admiration, but was sincerely surprised and said, "The fourth uncle's idea is the same as Fei Qing. He also finds someone first and then discusses, saving people first and killing thieves first!"

Zhu Zhi is called Zhuge of Jiangzuo. Although he is suspected of being too famous, he also shows his wisdom on the other hand. Xu Younian is only sixteen years old, and he can see the same thing as this Zhuge hero. It is really not underestimated.

Gu Yun was not surprised. No matter what earth-shaking things Xu You did, it seemed normal to him. He said, "Then, will you come up with the next plan?"

"Since you are a thief who plunders, you will definitely have three holes, and there will be no only a stronghold in the village by the river. When they come to Qiantang, they should have another residence here. So Feiqing wants Du Sansheng, a local snake, to act secretly and release Qiantang's Rangers to inquire. Don't underestimate Rangers. If you are fighting, these rogues cannot compare to the finger of the Zhu family's troops. You have to inquire about information and explore people's privacy. Their ways and methods are far above Zhu's family!"

"Okay, that's it!"

Gu Yun actually didn't realize that since then, he had become accustomed to Xu You being by his side, planning some tricky things for him, and obeyed his words, believed it without doubt, and never really opposed it. This extraordinary trust immediately attracted Zhu Rui's attention. In his impression, Gu Yun was not an easy person to approach, nor was he so easily trusting others, but he looked at Xu You and didn't say much.

After all, Gu Yun’s affairs have nothing to do with him!

Sometimes, the power of habits is terrible. When habits gradually become dependence, they will burst out with amazing destructive power at certain important moments, which is jaw-dropping and helpless!

But at this time, life is comfortable and leisurely, and we don’t know what will happen in the future. It’s enemies, friends, life or death, standing or kneeling. It’s all too far and too hazy!
