This young man, who was only 26 years old, went so far as to thoroughly check the account books of more than ten prefectures and counties in the upper and lower reaches of the Fuhuan River in the past seven years.

"My lord, my lord! Please save the humble... Please save the humble..."

More than [-] people in official uniforms, some in their prime and some with gray hair, all knelt down in front of the same person humbly, shouting anxiously.

In the hall, a person picked up a porcelain cup and used the tea lid to remove the leafy tea stems floating on the tea soup. The hand holding the teacup was wrinkled with time, as if the anxious shouts around him had nothing to do with him.

He is just a person who concentrates on drinking tea.

How long does a cup of tea last?Even if no one has accurately calculated it, it shouldn't be as long from noon to sunset.

After a long time, the more than twenty people who stepped on the border of life and death lost their patience and reason for a long time.

Human beings are such cunning creatures. If you let him live, he can live a humble life willingly; but if you don't let him live, the fear of death can make the most cowardly people have the courage to resist.

As a result, some of them stopped kneeling and begging.

He stood up, with anger and determination in his eyes, pointed at the only person who was favored by You Ya, and roared: "My lord, don't you want to let the humble people take the blame? Don't forget, some things are wrong. The words are still in the humble tongue and there is no time to say it to Mr. Gu, if the humble officials let go, the adults will not be able to get rid of the responsibility."

"yes?"

With a click, the cup lid fell from the fingertips and covered the teacup.And the moment the teacup was covered, the man laughed, making everyone in the hall - including the official who threatened him - tremble with fear.

"Since your tongue is not secure, what's the use of this tongue?"

A man in black jumped out from nowhere, grabbed the official at a speed that was almost unrecognizable to the naked eye, pried open his mouth, and then...

"what--"

The blood and the screams of pain shot out at the same time, and the faces of the people who were closer to the official were all frightened away by the scalding blood. They could only see the blood spurting out from the official's mouth and falling on the ground... ...a disgustingly complete tongue...

Seeing this, the rest kowtowed in fear and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me... My lord, please forgive me..."

The man put down the teacup in his hand, looked coldly at the government official who fell to the ground and convulsed step by step into the realm of hell, raised his hand to stop the sound of begging that lingered in the room.

"I have my own opinion about Gu Fenglin, so you don't need to worry. Step back!"

"Thank you, my lord, the humble, the humble will retire."

The corrupt officials who usually bully the domineering officials in the village, wandered around in front of the gate of hell, lost the momentum of oppressing the people, trembling and exited the hall like the hall of hell, no one even wanted to put that lying on the ground to death Take healing away from colleagues who lost half their lives—just as they ignore starving people starving to death by the roadside.

After all the officials had retreated and those who fell on the ground were dragged out of the house by the servants, the man in black asked, "What do you plan to do?"

The person who controlled everything from the beginning to the end laughed lightly and slowly, coughed several times before saying: "I want him to live in pain for the rest of his life."

He wants to see if that man who is as straight as bamboo and as flawless as beautiful jade can still live like he is now after losing his beloved.

When public and private are in trouble, Gu Fenglin...

Which would you choose?

One cart after another was loaded with books of evidence of corruption by officials at all levels, and they were firmly fixed on the carriage by hemp ropes. They were responsible for escorting the Imperial Army sent by the emperor, not only for Gu Fenglin's safety, but also for these evidences not to be stolen on the way. destroy.

Wu Ling, who was responsible for this trip, after confirming that all the boxes were tied securely, walked up to Gu Fenglin and said, "My lord, everything is ready."

"Okay, you go first."

"grown ups?"

Gu Fenglin smiled and said, "I want to buy some gadgets for my son to go home."

"My lord's son?" Wu Ling was very surprised, and looked at his boss with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't your lord's wife and son already settled at the county government office?"

Hearing Wu Ling's words, Gu Fenglin frowned, "What's going on?"

"When I came here just now, I happened to run into a few yamen servants. They said that Mr. Gu's wife and children came to the county yamen this morning and wanted to find you! This subordinate also wanted to ask my lord if you need to hire a sedan chair for your wife. Don't you... my lord, don't you know about this?"

The abruptness and danger are like two drops of ink falling on the paper, quickly rendering to the surroundings.

not right...

Why did Madam bring Tang'er here suddenly?Come to this Fugaki disaster area with hidden dangers?

Since going to other places to monitor, the wife has never asked a word, let alone brought the youngest son to follow, why is it different this time?why?

The relationship between him and his wife can't be described as deep love, it is impossible to say that the wife misses her husband, so it is impossible to come here, besides, the wife has a cold temper, and she has never even hugged her own son, and Tang'er's daily life is completely up to him on weekdays Taking care of the nurse and servant, there is no interaction other than greetings in the morning and evening.

But to come here to look for him with a son who is not very close, could it be... Could it be...

"Wu Ling, tell me clearly, who else is Madam with?"

Wu Ling turned his head and thought for a while, then said: "It seems that an official from the Beidaoyuan granary came with your lord's wife."

"North, Road, Garden——" Gu Fenglin's canthus was about to burst, and an angry fire flashed in his eyes.

Beidaoyuan, a grain gathering place at the junction of the middle and lower reaches of the Fuhuan River, is in charge of the rice grain dispatching of the people in eight or nine neighboring counties.

"Is that person surnamed Ji?"

Wu Ling thought about it again, and said in an uncertain tone: "It seems that my subordinate just met a few yamen servants and chatted casually, I don't remember clearly."

"That man has a scar on his right eyebrow?"

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, I remembered. The yamen servant said that the lord has a scar on his eyebrows, and he also said something like a pity and a disfigurement. Your lord, do you...know this person?"

"Ji Pei..."

Gu Fenglin sighed secretly, with a hint of sadness in his tone, and ordered to Wu Ling: "Wu Ling, you should immediately take these books back to the capital to submit to His Majesty, no matter what anyone orders or what happens on the way, you are not allowed to delay it. A copy of the impeachment certificate must be handed over to His Majesty as soon as possible, understand?"

Wu Ling was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses and clasped his fists at Gu Fenglin: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely submit the things to the Holy One as quickly as possible."

After receiving the order, Wu Ling's spirit was shaken, and he commanded the forbidden army to go straight to the capital, leaving only a small team to guard Gu Fenglin's safety.

Looking at the team far ahead, Gu Fenglin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, repeating the same action again and again, trying to calm down his emotions.

Opening his eyes, he turned his head and said to the imperial guards who were in charge of protecting him, "Go to the Yamen."

"Yes."

Leading two teams of forbidden troops to the yamen, Gu Fenglin's mood gradually sank with every step he took.

As the saying goes, a hundred years of Fangxiu sleep together?

Madam, madam, you and I have been husband and wife for many years, and you have such a lovely child as Tang'er, do you... still miss that man?

That man who ruthlessly abandoned you and married another man named Ji Pei?

you are stupid……

As soon as Gu Fenglin stepped into the county office, he saw his wife and a handsome man standing behind him.

The expression on the woman's face was still indifferent, her behavior was still as perfect as Fu De said, and she bowed to her husband who stepped into the front hall of the county yamen, but it was so different, different from the past.

In the past, the indifference and perfection on the surface are the estrangement in the bones; but in the moment, it seems to be asking for others.The person she begged for was him; the person she begged for was the man behind her.

The man named Ji Pei fell in love with his first wife Qingmei, but married another man.

Gu Fenglin stared at this scene in a daze, watching his wife who had been married for several years, using his slender body to protect the man behind him.

Her eyes, firm and persistent, looked straight at herself.

Chest throbbing pain...

"Please forgive me and save Pei Lang's life."

The leaking voice was still so nice, but the words were like a whip with a hook that tore through his heart.

The wife's lips trembled slightly, seeing her weakness for the first time, she begged humbly—but for another man.

He understood what his wife was asking of him, he understood very well.

Beidaoyuan, a grain collection area located at the junction of the middle and lower reaches of the Fuhuan River, is in charge of the rice and grain dispatching of the people in eight or nine neighboring counties.As for Ji Pei, the food officer of Bei Dao Garden, he was in charge of collecting and transporting food.

This thorough investigation of the malpractice cases in the counties of Fuhuanjiang, of course, also included Beidaoyuan.

Regardless of the lives of the people, Ji Pei not only used his position as a grain official to steal and sell grain to fill his own pockets, but even squeezed farmers to collect rice grain at extremely low prices, and then drove up the price and transferred the rice grain to the private market. In the middle, how much people's fat and people's anointment has been greedy?How many high-ranking officials have been bribed to preserve his official position?

Not only that, Ji Pei is domineering and rampant in the village, just like a local ruffian in official uniform, the people dare not speak out, lest he will be exploited more severely and fiercely by him when their own land is expropriated next year.

The wife was born in an official family, and the father-in-law is well-known for being honest and self-reliant, otherwise this marriage would not have been formed back then.But now, for the sake of her sweetheart, such a woman ignores how many crimes the man has borne, and ignores that the man will give her up to marry another. For the first time, she sees excitement, emotion, and even more on her indifferent and beautiful face... ...her love...

But his wife's love...is not given to me...

"Do you know what you're doing?" Gu Fenglin opened his mouth, but his calm tone couldn't hide the pain in his eyes.
