Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 152
In the early morning of the second day, when Gu Jiu thought about it, people began to arrest the whole city. The Wang family was taken down on the day they entered the city, and the remaining three families showed unusual restraint and calm after negotiating last night.
of finger-pointing and shirking, as well as scenes where some people try to escape.
Xingyang City is very lively, and the whole city is full of crying, scolding, and shouting.
Liu Yuru got up early in the morning, led people through the city, and went out into the warehouse.
People go to notify the person who left before to come back, and at the same time to notify the person at the previous warehouse point, they can start the normal shipping and release of goods.
When she came back, Liu Yuru passed by Zhao’s house and saw a man rushing out in a disheveled dress. Then a family member rushed out and grabbed the man. The man struggled on the street and cried out Lai: “The officer asked me to take the exam, and you asked me to do things. You enjoy your happiness at home and tell me all day long about your family and family. Now that something happened, you don’t care to ask me to pay for it. What is the reason? Where does the reason come from?!”
The man roared so much that everyone could hear him, but after he finished speaking, he heard an old man shouting, “Gag his mouth!”
Then the man’s voice was only a whimper, and he was dragged back not long after.
After returning, the street was clean again, as if nothing had ever existed, Liu Yuru turned her head and looked at the door of Zhao’s house, and saw Mr. Zhao standing at the door, he looked Much older, seeing Liu Yuru, she bowed slightly, and called out respectfully, “Mrs. Gu.”
Liu Yuru returned a salute. Master Zhao seemed to be extremely tired, and he did not say much greetings. After salute, he turned back to the door.
Liu Yuru was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and was supported by someone back to the room.
Gu Jiusi came back early in the daytime. When he came home, he saw Liu Yuru sitting at the table in a daze, without flipping the ledger. Gu Jiusi walked into the door, saw Liu Yuru’s appearance, and smiled Said: “What happened today, who provokes Boss Liu?”
When Liu Yuru heard Gu Jiusi’s words, she turned around and smiled lightly.
“Back?”
Speaking, she got up and wanted to change Gu Jiusi’s clothes. Gu Jiusi stopped her and said hurriedly: “You can do it yourself, I will change it myself.”
Liu Yuru got this, she didn’t get up, she sat down, and said gently, “Today I saw people arresting people everywhere in the city.”
“Well.” Gu Jiusi threw a piece of clothing on the screen behind the screen, and explained, “I asked people to go, Sizhou’s guards can’t stop in Yongzhou all the time, and Xingyang also It’s a big transit city, and it’s been like this all the time, and it’s doing too much damage to it. Originally, the Yellow River would be poor, and if it hurts the vitality again because of these things, my trip to Yongzhou will not be repairing the river, but a sin.”
Speaking, Gu Jiusi turned out of the screen, put on his belt and said, “This case needs to be resolved quickly. Anyway, the evidence Master Fu and Master Qin are ready.”
Liu Yuru nodded, Gu Jiusi walked to Liu Yuru’s side, sat down and shook her hand, and took her into his arms, Liu Yuru rested her head on his shoulder, was played with his hands, listened to him : “Are you scared today?”
“No,” Liu Yuru shook her head, “it’s just a little emotional.”
She talked about the Zhao family, Gu Jiusi listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, Gu Jiusi said: “Since the DPRK allows the sons of merchants to enter the office, this is the norm. A family always has to train some children to study, become officials, and then give back to the family. That person is also funny. He said that the Zhao family was unfair to him. The Zhong family, the official’s children have been treated preferentially since childhood. He was in the Zhao family, and everyone touted him, and let him on weekdays, for what? Isn’t it just because there will be such a day to compensate him? To make profits for his family , he shouldn’t have done this, he chose to do it because of the preferential treatment and financial support in the family, and in the end, he said that the family had treated him unfairly and harmed him. What’s the reason?
Liu Yuru listened and sighed: “If you are stuck in a swamp and want to break free, it is too difficult.”
“Nine thoughts, it is the yearning of people to get out of the mud without being stained, but human beings are weak and greedy, and they are ordinary people.”
Hearing this, Gu Jiusi remained silent, Liu Yuru hugged the heater, leaned against him, and said gently: “Being a commoner, it is a good thing for you to be black and white and jealous of evil. But as an official, you have to treat people Just like a normal person.”
Gu Jiusi listened quietly, thinking about Liu Yuru’s words.
Liu Yuru could understand what he said, Xingyang, or Yongzhou’s problem is not a local problem, but a hundred years of accumulation. Over the years, the products have become more and more abundant, and the commerce and trade have become more and more developed, so it is inevitable for these merchants to enter the officialdom. No matter how much the merchants are suppressed, but driven by money, the merchants have their own power in the DPRK, which is irreversible.
However, businessmen pursue profits, officials have power, and there is no system management. Today, Xingyang is the future of other states. Even if he kills all the corrupt officials in Xingyang today, can the next, hundreds or thousands of officials in this position not follow in the footsteps of today?
Even if Gu Jiusi himself—
Gu Jiusi thought to himself, if he was in Yangzhou and his parents taught him this way since childhood, he would have to devote himself to the officialdom for the fate of the family, and the whole family belonged to him, and the surrounding atmosphere was like this, ten years Twenty years later, how could he be better than these Xingyang officials today?
Liu Yuru’s words were taken to Gu Jiusi’s heart, he patted Liu Yuru’s shoulder and said softly: “Don’t think too much, just make good money, these are what I think.”
Liu Yuru responded.
After arresting for a few days, Gu Jiusi began the public trial.
He opened the county office, hung the sword of the emperor on the table, and then began to judge people.
Qin Nan and Fu Baoyuan prepared evidence for many years, Wang Siyuan’s confession, and the results of subsequent searches from various homes, from arrest to trial, one by one.
A total of 532 officials were implicated in Yongzhou, 238 officials in Xingyang, of which 98 were executed, and the number of other types of disposals varied, but they still stayed. a way of life.
In such a big case, Gu Jiusi had to go back to Dongdu to report his work and get Fan Xuan’s instructions, so he chose someone to take over the defense of the city, and then arranged for Qin Nan and Fu Baoyuan to take over Yongzhou, Luo Zishang supervised the Yellow River, and then led Jiang He and Ye Shi’an back to the Eastern Capital.
He didn’t plan to bring Liu Yuru with him, Liu Yuru was pregnant, Gu Jiusi was afraid that she couldn’t bear such a rush, but the night before going back, Liu Yuru tossed and turned, Gu Jiusi heard the sound and took her to her arms Li Yi fished and said gently, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”
Liu Yuru hesitated for a moment, and finally said: “I haven’t been back to the Eastern Capital for a long time, in fact, I should go back to the Eastern Capital to have a look, but having children, I know that I am self-willed, I…”
Gu Jiusi listened to her quietly, he took her in his arms, and after a while, he sighed.
“If you want to go, just go, what’s the will?”
Liu Yuru didn’t say a word, Gu Jiusi said gently: “I will take good care of you on the way, you will be fine.”
Liu Yuru lowered her head, Gu Jiusi kissed her and said softly: “You are a good mother, but not everything is for you alone. Don’t be too nervous, the child wants According to fate, you can’t have a child, you can’t even get out of bed.”
Liu Yuru pursed her lips and smiled: “How can you exaggerate like that?”
But she was also happy, she stretched out her arms to hug Gu Jiusi, leaned against him, and said nothing.
On the second day, Gu Jiusi had someone rearrange the carriage, and then brought Liu Yuru back to the East Capital.
After walking for seven days, they finally stood at the gate of Dongdu City. After returning from Xingyang, they immediately felt that the gate of Dongdu City was tall, the roads were wide, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.
It’s just that the two of them were not as cautious as they were when they first entered the Eastern Capital. The two looked up at the plaque at the gate of the Eastern Capital. Liu Yuru put her hair behind her ears and said peacefully. Sentence: “Go into the city.”
