Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 155

    As Gu Jiusi expected, within a few days, Fan Xuan ordered Li Yuchang to hear the case, but to Gu Jiusi’s surprise, Fan Xuan did not completely abandon him, but asked him to contact him The case was tried jointly with Li Yuchang, but Shen Ming’s case was dealt with separately, and Li Yuchang tried it alone.

      Said: “Your Majesty, the case of Shen Ming’s assassination of Wang Siyuan has not yet been heard clearly. Gu Shangshu and Shen Ming have a close relationship. It would be inappropriate for Gu Shangshu and Lord Li to try the Xingyang case together.”

    Hearing this, Fan Xuan raised his eyes, looked at the speaker and said: “I have been talking with Lord Shen for a long time, do I also have a very close relationship with Lord Shen? This case is from beginning to end. It was done by Li Aiqing and Gu Aiqing, but now that you are changing people temporarily, why don’t you find a suitable person for me?”

    This rambunctious remark showed their attitude, and no one dared to say more. After forcibly suppressing the opinions from the court, Fan Xuan called Gu Jiusi over when the court went down.

    Gu Jiusi entered the imperial study and saw Fan Xuan drinking tea. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, but Fan Xuan did not let him get up, drinking tea: “When the case is over, you He will preside over this year’s imperial examinations.”

    Gu Jiusi was a little nervous, he didn’t understand why Fan Xuan pushed him to this position in the end, Fan Xuan didn’t say anything, just said: “If you don’t want to deal with Shen Ming, I won’t force you. , but you have to remember that today I can help you suppress this matter, and this matter will definitely become a stain on you in the future, if someone wants to stab you in the future, this will be a wound.”

    “Wei Chen understands.”

    Gu Jiusi hurriedly replied: “Wei Chen knows that Your Majesty is working hard.”

    Fan Xuan sighed and didn’t say any more. He turned his head and told Gu Jiusi about the details of the affairs, and then Gu Jiusi stood up. Glancing at Tang Yao, he didn’t make a sound.

    After leaving the palace, he felt a little hesitant. He vaguely knew the reason why Fan Xuan did this, but it was irreversible. He could only try his best to deal with it before it happened. Do better.

    Fan Xuan asked Gu Jiusi and Li Yuchang to try Xingyang’s case, mainly to give them more political achievements. With this case as the cornerstone, it would be logical for Gu Jiusi to preside over the scientific examination in the future.

    Gu Jiusi had already mastered many confessions in Xingyang, handled the case in Dongdu, and started arresting people directly.

      Chance. These people are well-connected. During Gu Jiusi’s trial, the Gu family’s mansion was always full of people, and all relatives were looking for them, so that Gu Langhua and Jiang Rou were afraid to see anyone, and even Su Wan could not bear it.

    Liu Yuru didn’t really know what Gu Jiusi was doing, but the number of customers in her store increased for some reason, and people came to her every day, wanting to do business with her, more After two visits, Liu Yuru understood. He simply declined the guests, staying at Gu’s house every day and not daring to go out. Others gave gifts, and she returned them all.

    She was used to doing things like this in the past, and she used to feel embarrassed, but now she is not ashamed.

    This trial lasted for more than half a month, from Xingyang to Dongdu, and the number of people involved in the final verdict was 1,200.

      Some, more, but they were given to the two as the master of the sky.

    With such a high reputation, Gu Jiusi presided over this imperial examination, and no one has much objection, and even among the folk scholars, there is quite a bit of glory. Because if Gu Jiusi presided over the imperial examination, they would indirectly become Gu Jiusi’s “students” in the middle and high school of the imperial examination. Gu Jiusi is fair and clear, upright, and he will definitely give them a fair test. Moreover, his future prospects are limitless, and he is also a romantic figure in Dongdu. It is also a blessing to be his student.

    This year’s Autumn Festival is held on the third day of October, which is much later than in the past. Before the autumn festival, Shen Ming’s crime was also convicted, Li Yuchang understood Gu Jiusi’s meaning, and sentenced Shen Ming to charge Youzhou.

    The day Shen Ming left was the first day of October, Gu Jiusi led Liu Yuru, Ye Shian, and Ye Yun to see him off. Shen Ming followed the other people who joined the army. He was wearing a prison uniform, shackles, and iron chains on his hands and feet. He looked very heavy.

    He still had a smile on his face, a bright smile, but compared to the past, it was indeed a lot quieter. Gu Jiusi poured him wine, he and everyone touched the glasses one by one, and then smiled: “I don’t know when it’s the return date. If you have time, come and see me more.”

    “Don’t say that,” Ye Shian sighed, “You will come back sooner or later, and we will all find a way.”

    Shen Ming smiled and nodded: “Okay, I know you are the most appropriate, I will wait for you to find a way.”

      Seeing that Ye Shian was holding his breath, Shen Ming seemed to be happy. He turned his head and looked at Gu Jiusi. After a while, he finally said, “Brother, I’m leaving.”

    Gu Jiusi looked at him and said calmly: “I have someone bring a letter to Brother Zhou and ask him to give you more books to read on weekdays, you are also old, don’t always be like a mountain bandit. .”

    “I know.” Shen Ming laughed, “I will read books carefully.”

     “When you arrive at the Youzhou battlefield, you will think that lunch is your world. If you make good achievements on the battlefield, you should also have your career.”

    “I know.” Shen Ming said a little embarrassedly, “However, the matter of making merit and establishing a career is mysterious, I will try my best.”

    Gu Jiusi didn’t speak. After a while, he said slowly, “Shen Ming.”

    “Huh?” Shen Ming was a little puzzled, Gu Jiusi looked at him seriously, “I and Shi’an are both civil servants, we all need a person, holding military power in our hands, to help us with one heart. following us.”

    Shen Ming was stunned when he heard this, Gu Jiusi didn’t move his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of expectations: “I know you are an eagle, and there will be a vast world for you. , Shi’an and I will wait for you in Dongdu, and when the time comes, we will wait for you to come back full of glory. When the time comes, we will write, you will carry your sword, and we will guard the people of Daxia Jiangshan together.”

    Shen Ming did not speak.

    When he listened to Gu Jiusi’s words, he felt that something was churning in his heart.

    Gu Jiusi patted his shoulder, thought for a while, and said, “I’ll wait for you next to me. If you want to talk to anyone else, just talk to whoever you want.”

    Shen Ming looked at Ye Yun quietly, he looked at her, and after a while, he asked, “How old are you this year?”

    Ye Yun was stunned for a while, she didn’t expect Shen Ming to ask such a question, she said blankly: “Nineteen.”

    “Good times.”

    Shen Ming smiled.

    Ye Yun didn’t understand what Shen Ming meant, she just stood there, the two were silent, Shen Ming watched her quietly, after a while, he smiled and said: “Go back and do business well. Shop, you have to be a rich girl.”

    Ye Yun listened to Shen Ming’s words, she couldn’t help being stunned, and subconsciously said: “Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”

    “I didn’t hide what I should say, and I said it all.”

    Shen Ming turned his head and looked into the distance: “It shouldn’t be said, and there is no need to say it.”

    Ye Yun listened and pursed her lips, but after a while, she said, “Are you planning to come back?”

    “Ninth brother is here, so of course I came back.” Shen Ming replied calmly, Ye Yun looked at him and said seriously, “Since you plan to come back, why don’t you say something to me?”

    Shen Ming stopped talking, he looked at Ye Yun quietly. Ye Yun was a little nervous, she looked at Shen Ming, but said, “I remember, you said you wanted to marry me.”

    Shen Ming smiled slowly when he heard this: “Yes.”

    “Then,” Ye Yun looked at him and said seriously, “I can wait for you, you come back earlier.”

    Shen Ming looked at the serious eyebrows of the person in front of him, he listened to her words, and his heart was sad and happy. However, he didn’t respond, looked at her seriously, but just said: “You don’t have to wait for me on purpose, and you don’t have to tell me this.”

    “Ye Yun,” he called her name, “you have to live well yourself. Don’t always think about being good for others, and don’t always think about repaying others, if you marry me, only Maybe it’s because I like it, but for other reasons, I don’t accept it.”

    “I didn’t…” Ye Yun said eagerly, but Shen Ming said, “I’m not stupid.”

    He looked at Ye Yun seriously: “I didn’t understand before, but now I understand, you answer me today, just want to give me a hope of returning to the Eastern Capital, to make me happier. You are willing to marry me just because you regard me as a good friend and think your marriage will at least make me happier.”

    Ye Yun stopped talking. She used to think Shen Ming was stupid, but now she finds that this person is more transparent and smarter than anyone else.

    Shen Ming looked at Ye Yun and said nothing, he laughed: “But I don’t like this, I like you, you can dislike me, but I hope that when you respond to me, just Because I like it. I will live a good life in Youzhou, and I will return to Dongdu as soon as possible. When I come back, I will be a match for you, and I will have a grade that will not disgrace your lintel. At that time, if you like me, I will There must be three matchmakers Liu Ping and Ba carrying a large sedan chair to marry you, and I will let everyone watch, you marry me not because you will be in the future, and you will never lose your identity.”

    “Before I come back, I hope you are like me,” Shen Ming said with tenderness in his eyes, “live well. If you meet the right person, you want to marry, you feel happy, you If you get married, I will be very happy, because you have a good life. If you don’t meet the right person, don’t be afraid. I will always wait for you. One day, as long as you like me, I will be there anytime, anywhere. waiting to marry you.”

    Speaking, Shen Ming seemed a little embarrassed, he lowered his eyes, and the officer next to him shouted again, this time it was really hard to stay.

    Shen Ming said goodbye to everyone, turned around, and walked away with the other prisoners.

    She found that she could finally look at Shen Ming with an equal attitude.

    In the past, she always felt that he was naive and that he couldn’t understand her inner thoughts and hardships. However, when she watched the man walk away, she suddenly began to understand.

    He may not understand, he may know better than anyone else.

    It’s just that he’s not like them smart people, who think more and worry more. One thing, he wanted to do, he did it. A person, he wants to love, he loves.

    No hesitation, no hesitation.

    The road that Shen Ming took, never regretted it, and never looked back.
