   Wei Jinghan concluded He Yuqi's case and escorted the file and others to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for sentencing.

After sending He Yuqi away, Chu Xiaoyun asked about the second prince of Hu State. When he knew that his opponent was likely to be the future leader of the opponent's country, he knew that it would not be so easy to bring people to justice, but if he ignored it, he felt like a stick in his throat.

Wei Jinghan conveyed the emperor's intention: "Now I have the worry of King Yan in Dacheng, and your Majesty is also in a dilemma. If the border is rekindled and the interior is empty, King Yan may take advantage of it. In the end, it will be the people who suffer."

Chu Xiaoyun thought about it, and the same thing happened. At this time, he couldn't help thinking naively, if King Yan would proceed from the overall situation of the country, it would be great to reconcile with the emperor. But court politics, either you die, or I forget, it's not that easy.

When Chu Xiaoyun was feeling emotional, a yamen servant came to report that Gu Qingyun had returned to Hejing County.

When Chu Xiaoyun and Gu Qingyun were saying goodbye in the capital, Gu Qingyun was recovering from his injuries and wanted to go north and secretly enter the Hu country to bring back the horses that were raised there. Now that he is back, the war horse must have arrived. With horses in Dacheng, he could train cavalry with excellent riding skills, and be able to counter Hu's cavalry tactics.

Recalling the tragic scene he saw in Qinchuan, some hope rose in Chu Xiaoyun's heart.

Wei Jinghan was quite excited when he heard that Gu Qingyun had returned to Hejing County. He said to Fang Lingfeng, "Pack up and go home."

While packing up his luggage for the return journey, Wei Jinghan wrote a memorial to the emperor and recommended Qingzhou The prefect's candidate.

The county magistrate of Hejing County and his party had just returned to the county seat, and before entering the county government office, they received a report from the front guard. The Gu family had sent a letter before, and the young master of the Gu family wanted to visit the county government office and discuss matters.

Wei Jinghan said: "Send someone to invite you quickly."

So as soon as the county magistrate and his party entered the government office, the people from the Gu family arrived at the county office.

Several months later, when Chu Xiaoyun saw Gu Qingyun again, he found that he was almost a different person. Although the person who woke up after pulling out the silver needle showed a bit of a calm demeanor, but after all, he was tortured mentally and physically, and it seemed that the whole person still lacked momentum. After several months of self-cultivation, seeing you now, the spirit of the whole person has taken on a new look. Although the whole person still looks as elegant as in the old portraits, his gestures and gestures are enough to show a determined spirit. At first glance, it looks like a man with a gully in his chest and a strategist. It's no wonder that he was able to develop the Gu family's business to such a large size before.

"Young Master Gu, how's your trip going after a few months?" Chu Xiaoyun was concerned about his trip to Hu Country.

Gu Qingyun leaned forward, cupped his hands and said: "Everything is fine, and everything is going well. Thank you, Catcher Chu, for your concern."

Then he bowed to Wei Jinghan and said, "Master Wei, the students came here today to ask for two things, and I hope the government will help you." "

Wei Jinghan said: "Young Master Gu, you might as well be frank."

"It was not the student's intention that my wife reconciled with Gu. This time, the student came here to ask the government to revoke the reconciliation and return my wife Zhou Ying's legitimate name." Gu Qingyun said . Wei Jinghan laughed and said, "Mr. Gu is a person who values ​​affection. As long as you approve of

this matter, the government will naturally have no opinion. What about the other matter?"

Can't go home, and can't comfort their families better. Now that the students are able to return, in addition to the help of Chu Butou and the adults in the government, it is also indispensable for the accompanying guards to rescue them at the beginning. The students want to comfort the old family members of the old department, but they have no choice. My family has already moved out of Hejing County, and I hope Master Wei can help to issue an announcement, and the students want to thank them for their kindness." Gu Xiaoyun expressed all the wishes in his heart.



Wei Jinghan was deeply moved: "At the beginning, the Gu family had already paid for the family members of the deceased. I didn't expect Mr. Gu to go through hardships and still miss the old family members. How could the Jing County Government and I sit by and watch such a loving and righteous thing!" Waiting for the messenger, just swipe the pen. Order the arresting room to announce Gu Qingyun's intention to the world.

Gu Qingyun thanked him again and again, and invited everyone from the Hejing county government to go to Gu's residence tomorrow to watch the ceremony.

This time when Gu Qingyun came back from a difficult time, Gu Yuanwai would officially pass on the throne to him, and Gu Qingyun would be the rightful helm of the Gu family in the future.

Wei Jinghan naturally readily agreed.

On the second day, except for those who stayed behind on patrol, all the people from the Hejing county government went to Gu's house to observe the ceremony.

Little did they know that this time was not only the ceremony for Gu Qingyun's new appointment as the head of the Gu family, but also the wedding ceremony for Gu Qingyun to marry Zhou Ying again. The entire Hejing County was a sensation, and it was later spread to other prefectures and counties, which became a big story of Dacheng at that time.

At the wedding ceremony, Gu Qingyun rode a big horse with a red flower on his chest, and waved his hands to the uninvited neighbors on both sides with a happy face. He followed the servants and gave out wedding money without hesitation, which made the girls and daughter-in-laws in Hejing County envious Incessantly, cheers came from both sides of the road from time to time.

During the celebration of the Gu family, Wei Jinghan received an urgent secret report 800 miles away from the capital. King Yan's confidant Zhuang Di led his army to the capital to seek peace, and is now stationed 30 miles away from the capital. After hearing the report from the ministers sent by the King of Yan, the emperor planned to open the city to welcome them, but the royalist ministers were afraid of fraud, so they refused to agree to open the city gate. Now that the two sides are at loggerheads, things have been delayed.

When Wei Jinghan got the news, he thought about it for a while and figured out the joints.

Zhuang Di brought an army of 100,000 to seek peace, saying that he was showing his sincerity, which is also reasonable; the royalist minister said that he had ulterior motives and intended to force the palace, which is also understandable. Wei Jinghan felt that this matter was easy to handle, so he asked Zhuang Di to enter the palace alone to show his sincerity in seeking peace. The 100,000 troops stayed on the outskirts of the city, and both sides felt at ease.

It's just that he, a county official, was invited by Gu Qingyun to represent the government's position, and it was the imperial court's recognition of the Gu family's meritorious service in donating horses. It was inconvenient for him to leave the table, so he asked Chu Xiaoyun to go back to the county government to write a letter to the capital.

Chu Xiaoyun took the order, left the Gu family ceremony with Yu He, and returned to the county government. In order to hurry, they did not take the main road, but passed through the alleys where the common people lived. When turning two alleys, I saw a flashing figure in front of me, which looked familiar.

"The back in front seems to be someone from the lottery office. Why did some of them leave early? Is there something urgent at the lottery office today?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

Yu He just went to the signing office in the morning to file the records of the mortuary. He knew the situation of the signing office very well today: "Scribe Zeng is on duty at the signing office today. When I went there, he still said that there is nothing to do in the signing office recently, and people are going to be idle." Speaking of Shuli Zeng

, Yu He felt a little guilty. Back then, he tore up the files of Baishui Village and hurt others. Later, when he came to apologize, Zeng Shuli didn't make things difficult for him, and the two chatted well.

While chatting, Yu He asked again: "How are you sure it's the person at the signing office?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "Can I recognize the official uniform at the signing office? Seeing him walking away in a hurry, I thought the signing office was very busy recently Well."

Yu He said: "Then let's take two quick steps, catch up and ask, and we can go back to the yamen together."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "That's fine."

The two of them quickened their pace to catch up, but who knew that person would have been lost long ago. gone.

"Tsk, it's so fast." Chu Xiaoyun sighed.

Yu He smiled and said, "I guess there is something urgent."

"Didn't you say that the signing office is so busy?" Chu Xiaoyun joked.

"That may happen suddenly, like ours." People who eat from the yamen are not always on call. Yu He smiled and said, "If you are in a hurry, I know there is a shorter way."

"Where else can I go?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

"Taihe Street." Yu He said, "Turn two turns from here to Taihe Street. One side of Taihe Street is connected to the road leading directly to the county government. It's just that when the former county magistrate was here, he blocked that road for personal gain. The passage between the street and the county government office, so no one is going there now. If we want to go there, we may have to borrow the passage from the wall of the courtyard." "

It seems quite exciting." Chu Xiaoyun said, "Then Take Taihe Street, and then borrow a way from the neighbor."

The two turned two turns in the alley and arrived at Taihe Street. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the alley, he bumped into a person passing by in a hurry.

"Zheng's signature?" Chu Xiaoyun asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Chu Xiaoyun suddenly remembered that the clerk at the signing office that he saw in the alley before was Zheng Xing?

Zheng Xing seemed to be taken aback when he saw the people who appeared suddenly. Seeing that it was Chu Xiaoyun and Yu He, he turned to smile: "So it's Chu Tutou and Yu Yuzuo. Where are you going?" Chu

Xiao Yun said: "Let's go back to the yamen."

"Is there something urgent in the yamen?" Zheng Xing seemed quite interested.

"Yes." Chu Xiaoyun said, "Is there any urgent matter at the signing office? We happen to be able to go together." "

Ah, me, no." Zheng Xing said hurriedly, "My family entrusted someone to send a letter to the Yamen, and I went to the Gu family , Said that he was seriously ill. I was fine when I left in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be so serious all of a sudden. Master Bo asked me to come back and have a look." "So that's the case, Brother Zheng, don't worry. It will get better."

Chu Xiao Yun said, "Where is your home, why don't we help you find a doctor?"

"Oh, no, no, thank you Brother Chu for your kindness." Zheng Xing waved his hands again and again, "The Yamen has official business, and you still have official business, my home is nearby, and I will go back after I invite a doctor." "Well, we have official business

. I don't bother you to take care of your family." Chu Xiaoyun said, "Brother Zheng, if you need any help, just ask." Not long after Chu Xiaoyun came through

, he took Su Wen to the yamen to change the contract and met Zheng Xing. It's good to talk to him, he has always regarded Zheng Xing as a good brother. When he was not in Gongmen, except for the etiquette when he spoke, the subsequent conversation was not as polite as that of Zheng Zhuan who came to Chu Tutou.

Saying goodbye to Zheng Xing, the two walked towards the county government office. After two steps, Chu Xiaoyun couldn't help muttering: "Hey, why did I remember that Zheng Shuai seemed to say that he has no family now?"

Yu He was stunned: " He didn't say who was sick, maybe it was his parents."

"Really?" Chu Xiaoyun was still a little confused, when he raised his eyes to see the shop in front of him, he suddenly felt excited: "Baozi shop?" "

What?" Yu He asked, looking up at the shop in front of him, "Oh, you still remember this shop, the barbarian peddler who opened the steamed stuffed bun shop here testified that I killed Qian Zhu and made me go to prison once." Chu Xiaoyun

looked After looking at the bun shop, he glanced back and forth at the bun shop and its connections with the surroundings: "Can you go to the county government here, and is it also connected to the small alley street?" Yu He said: "Yes,

behind the wall on the south side of this street is the small alley street , Behind the north wall is Yujia Alley, which leads to the county government. Originally, Xiaohutong Street and Yujia Alley were also connected, but they were closed later. Both sides were closed." Chu Xiaoyun suddenly changed his face:

" Zheng Xing's family lives in Taihe Street? When Qian Zhu died last time, we investigated the situation, why didn't Zheng Xing mention that he lives here?" "

Ah? Yu He didn't recover.

Chu Xiaoyun said again: "I remembered, I remember he told me that he lived alone and was happy. Where did his family come from?"

Said that Chu Xiaoyun looked around the surrounding environment: "Qian Zhu was When I killed someone, I wondered why the murderer disappeared without a trace. We thought of many possibilities, but we forgot one possibility." "

What possibility?" Yu He was puzzled.

"That's why the murderer lives here. He killed someone and went home straight away, so naturally he won't leave any traces."

Yu He was stunned.

"Quick! You go back to the Yamen to transfer someone, and I'll go and watch him." Chu Xiaoyun said eagerly.
