Chapter 66 Since then I have no intention of loving a good night
Gu Yun's concern did not occur. After He Jie was escorted to the governor's mansion, he first refused to obey, but later he could not withstand the torture of the Crocodile Secretariat and was soon defeated. He confessed all his crimes before he resisted. He had not shown up for a long time. He was as if he had disappeared, including the entire He family. No one came to the governor's mansion to inquire about the news, and no one asked him to take a walk. He even didn't care about the food, clothing and expenses of He Jie in the prison cell, as if he had really given up on him completely.
Five days later, the case was closed, and the governor's office wrote a letter to the court to report the details of the case. The Sili Office also reported through other channels. It was many times more detailed than the memorials of the governor's office. The content involved was more complicated and shocking. It turned out that He Jie and others did not just plunder the population, but even secretly sold high-quality rice and grain from various counties in Jiangdong to the Wei State, which was short of food. In addition, on their private ferry list, there were heavy weapons such as Lei Gong Crossbow. After An Zidao was on the imperial examination, he was furious and summoned the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Shangshu and the three provincial governors of the subordinates to the court to discuss the court. Then, seven imperial edicts were issued in a row:
He was deprived of He Wen's title of founding county marquis, and all the rewards from previous years were recovered; Dayu Academy was closed, and He Chun was ordered to think about his mistakes in his back and not be allowed to give lectures in his life; Shanyin princess An Yuxiu contradicted the governor's mansion and was demoted to the champion princess, and the champion county belonged to Nanyang County, and Nanyang County was in the hands of the Wei State, which means that An Yuxiu was demoted from Shanyin County to the princess of Qiao County, and his fief and income would be sharply reduced, and his reputation would be greatly damaged; the son-in-law He Chao did not teach his wife strictly and was unable to manage the family well, and his salary was fined for three years. His father, the chief censor He Sheng, was implicated and was demoted to the first rank of the minister, and his salary was fined for three years; in addition, all He family children were not allowed to participate in the Dazhong Zhengding rank within three years, and they were not allowed to become officials.
There is also the Wei family, who should be kept in the door, think about their mistakes, and be deprived of their titles and official positions. Compared with the He family, the family members of the two surnames were greatly damaged.
As for He Jie and Wei Du, there were two different endings. Wei Du was accomplice, and was sentenced to commit suicide, given poisoned wine, and left the whole body. As the main culprit, He Jie was the main culprit, because of the "eight discussions" system, namely: discussing relatives, discussing sincerity, discussing virtues, discussing merits, discussing merits, discussing nobles, discussing diligence, discussing guest. In line with discussing relatives, discussing ability, relatives are royal relatives, and can be civil and talented officials, He Jie was involved in the circumstance of the ministers, so the ministers decided to beheaded and reported to the emperor, and reduced the order by one level as the law. In the end, he was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles and went to the smoky land of Ningzhou to serve hard labor.
After Xu You knew the result, he once said this: "It's not impossible to do evil. It depends on your background and your talents. Wei Du died when he died. He neither had the title of royal relatives as a talisman, nor did he know the knowledge of the world to arouse the pity of the superiors. So when he died, He Jie survived. Perhaps it was unfair, but it was very realistic!"
After the punishment, he was rewarded according to his merits. Since Gu Yun took charge of Qiantang, he has repeatedly solved important cases and made great contributions. He has also prepared for the same crime as plunder and buying. He is loyal, honest, diligent, and has both four wise men, so he was promoted to the prefect of Wujun. Zhu Zhi, the assistant minister of the cavalry, planned and was a great thief. He was specially appointed as the Central Army General of the North of Jin and was promoted to the Marquis of Guannei, and became a high-ranking official of the fourth rank. In addition, Zhu Rui was extremely brave and summoned to the imperial court to be the chief commander of the palace. Although he was an eighth-rank small official, he was also considered a guard of the emperor and had a bright future.
In other words, such as the chief of Yangzhou, Hu Jin, Gong Zhong, who was the chief censor of the country, and Zhi was the chief censor of Sima Qiu Yuan, who was brave enough to serve, and Ba was the general of Zhechong and the guardian of the Yangzhou Governor's Office. The rest were rewarded.
However, He Wei and the other two colluded with thieves and merchants, plundered good men and harmed innocent people. Once promoted, it caused great controversy among the people. From time to time, elderly people from the countryside gathered in various counties, counties, and prefectures to beat drums and shout for justice, and were indignant. Gu Yun immediately wrote a letter to exchange his official position for the court to plunder and buy the same crime. An Zidao personally issued an order to comfort him, rejected his resignation, and allowed him to change his law firm to request the court to pass the law the next day, and promulgate the whole world. He also ordered a company to withdraw money and rice from the officialdom to compensate and appease the victims.
The people of Yangzhou are in peace, and Gu Yun's reputation is unparalleled. No other person in the younger generation can compete!
Xu You was in a good state today. While the weather was good, he stood in the yard and slowly practiced Tai Chi to relax his muscles and bones. Zuo Qi was stunned by the side, but he was embarrassed to ask, He Ru was not as good as him, and said sarcastically: "Qilang, what kind of fist are you? It is soft and weak, slow and dull. Could it be that it was created by yourself in your sleep?"
Xu You was a Tai Chi enthusiast in his previous life. After being rich and powerful, he visited many famous Tai Chi masters, but there were too many people who deceived the world and robbed the world and didn't learn any essence. It was just a function of strengthening the body. He heard He Ru teased and smiled and said, "Qiyi, you have come up and have a fight. If this soft fist cannot make you beat the nose and face, I will go hungry tonight and will not eat!"
He Ruke was not deceived and said, "I am a strategist, and I don't want to do anything. Qilang is really confident. I might as well fight with Fenghu. I will pay ten taels of gold to win!"
Lu Shuang, who was sitting next to him, applauded and said, "I'm also overwhelmed Fenghu Langjun, yes, I'll bet a thousand dollars! Autumnal Equinox, do you bet?"
The Autumnal Equinox gaze never left Xu You's body. This time she suddenly fainted, which made her worry all night. She has not yet been relieved of her panic, for fear that he would be tired of practicing boxing and would cause her hidden disease to recur. Hearing Lu Shuang's voice, he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I have no money..."
He Ruqi said: "Qilang still deducts your monthly salary? It's outrageous. I'll get it back for you!"
"No, no!"
The autumnal equinox blushed and said, "My money is given by Xiaolang anyway, so there is no deduction or not... Besides, the mansion is short of cost now, so I will save it first, so I can still deal with the emergency in the future..."
Xu You knew that she remembered the dilemma of not being able to eat enough to eat in Yixing. It was really a penny that stumped the hero. She stopped her boxing, walked closer, touched her head, and said, "It's okay, just follow Lu Shuang to win, you can make sure you make a profit!"
"Okay, come on, start, start!" He Ru happily got up, and Zuo Qi said helplessly: "Qiyi, Langjun and I are opponents, and we can't bet according to the rules. You, Lu Shuang, and the autumnal equinox, bet me to win. How can this bet bet? Whose money will be won?"
“Huh?”
He Ru was stunned. With his IQ, such an erratic incident was almost impossible. He had to cough twice and said, "It's okay, let's change the rules, you and Qilang can bet."
Xu You smiled and said, "Yes, Feng Hu, who are you betting on?"
"Mr. Please forgive me for being bold. This time I bet on me to win!"
"Okay, I bet you to win too!"
Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and then burst into laughter. He Ru's face was dark and said, "No, no, isn't this cheating?"
"Bah! I think you're just a fool!"
Xu You didn't bother with him, so he picked up the prepared towel and handkerchief and wet it in the hot water basin. He wrung it out and wiped his hands and face, and said, "How is the gift prepared for Feiqing?"
Lu Shuang hurriedly said, "Everything is ready, a paulownia melody, a pheasant, two white jade halberds, five Wuzhong landscape paintings, ten green bamboo folding fans, as well as inkstones, bamboo boxes, porcelain, and tea leaves."
"Phizard?" Zuo Qiong said in confusion: "What are you doing for sending chickens?"
The rest are understandable, but the pheasant does not understand its meaning. He Ru explained: "Phizels do not eat bait, are not afraid of coercion, and will commit suicide if they are captured alive. They have the moral integrity of not surrendering. Therefore, scholars send pheasants to express their inner respect and praise of loyalty and faithfulness, and also have the metaphor of mutual tempering."
"So that's it!" Zuo Qi admired Lu Shuang very much, and his talent was no less than that of a scholar, and said, "No wonder the husband handed over this matter to Lu Shuang."
After hearing Lu Shuang's list, Xu You frowned slightly and said, "How much did it cost in total?"
"A total of more than 27,000 yuan!" Lu Shuang looked at Xu You's face, and said nervously, "Isn't it too simple? I'll go and make up for it immediately..."
"For the prefect of a county, it is indeed a little simpler, but for Feiqing, he would never accept so many gifts from us. Even if he sends them, he would return them intact." Xu You smiled and said, "Forget all other things, those who can be returned to the store, those who cannot be returned are left for use. Go and get a ball of fan, by the way, there is also pen and ink!"
Lu Shuang went away, took the round fan, grind the ink and moistened the pen, and handed it to Xu You. Xu You held the fan in his left hand and the right hand. Thinking of this storm with Gu Yun, how could he feel in his heart? Thousands of words turned into two sentences of the broken poem:
Since then, I have no intention of loving Liang Ye, so I let the bright moon go down to the west building.
"Send it to you and tell Feiqing that I am lying in bed and can't see him off. I hope the bright moon in Wu County will still be as charming as Qiantang!"
Three days later, Gu Yun left Qiantang on a boat, Li Dingzhi, Du Sansheng and the officials from the yamen all went to the dock to see him off. The people of Qiantang who had received the news from somewhere flocked to him. At some point, more than a thousand people gathered on the dock, and many people from other counties were mostly the families of the dead who dug out dead bones from Jinglu, Yuanyang, and the crying sounded throughout the sky.
Gu Yun stood on the head of the boat, his eyes were wet, and bowed his hands three times, sighing to Bao Xi who was standing behind him, "I have only been to Qiantang for a year, and how many good things have I done for the people of Qiantang? It's just that I destroyed the demon cave in Yangzhou of Tianshidao and saved several robbed girls. In terms of merit, what can I count as compared to Zhu Sishu and Xu Weizhi? But the people don't think so. They will keep your merits in their hearts, promote your reputation, and promote your virtues. I am really ashamed and guilty."
"The Ming Mansion has repeatedly taken the world's great worries and confronted the family and the court, and almost took advantage of his wealth, life and career prospects. The people have a clear mirror in their hearts, which can reflect the gains and losses, good and evil, and merits and demerits of officials. Today's grand occasion is well deserved!"
Gu Yun didn't say anything, and took off the folding fan that Xu You gave him from his waist. He opened the two lines of poetry above. His eyes were filled with indescribable male friendship. Looking back at Qiantang City, which was getting farther and farther away, murmured: "From now on, I have no intention of loving Liangye, let him go down the west building with the bright moon... Take care of it!"
