Long Wind Crossing

"This... how do you say this?"

Liu Yuru was a little stunned, but Gu Jiusi said: "You think, according to what Sun He said, he did not participate in the affairs of the library and did not communicate with Liu Chun, so Liu Chuncai put things here for him. He is very stable. It can be seen that he is extremely cautious or timid. Now that Liu Chun is dead, why didn't he run away and stay here waiting for you to come?"

Ye Shian nodded: "Jusi said it very well."

"Besides Luo Zishang, what Yuru talked to him was just some old things, about Zhang Huaili, even if Yuru told Qi Ming, he didn't ask more, he didn't even Think about it, let Yuru come back, he went to investigate, and directly told Yuru the existence of Sun He, is he such an easy person to talk to?"

"Then what does he want?" Liu Yuru frowned, Gu Jiu thought for a long time, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. But you told me that the prince must punish me severely, but I'm a little bit surprised. I understand. Do you think, who is Lu Yong?"

"Your Majesty's." Ye Shian said decisively, "He has been persuading His Majesty to establish another queen and have more children."

"Although Lu Yong took the money, he was indeed His Majesty's person, and although His Majesty let Luo Zishang stay in the Eastern Capital, he was also to come back to clean up after Liu Xingzhi. Do you plan for yourself? Luo Zishang's current intention is to deceive the prince. In the name of helping the prince, he plans to install his own people. You think, this time, the empress dowager and the prince must join forces. Pull down, after pulling down, there will be vacancies in the Ministry of Household position, and they can arrange people to go up. Yuru, think about it, now that you have found Sun He, what will you do if we don't think about it? "

Liu Yuru hesitated for a moment, and finally followed her heart: "It must be to seek justice for you."

"Yes, you will seek justice, you will find out the case of Kuyin, hand in Lu Yong's evidence, and then His Majesty will investigate, Kuyin is less than ten million taels, and Liu Chun's death as Cangbe's secretary was not clear. It is impossible for His Majesty not to be outraged in such a case, but what about Lu Yong's subordinates when he kills Lu Yong? Then he appeased the queen mother and the prince and let Lu Yong downgrade. I died, Lu Yong was not a minister, and the Ministry of Household had two vacant positions for them. And Lu Yong was transferred to another place, forcing him to find a way to get it back. This is more than ten million silver taels. If he is alive, his men will continue to take root in the imperial court. This is the best outcome for His Majesty in this case. If so," Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru with a wry smile in his eyes, " If you have evidence, you can't keep it."

"Your Majesty will not be like this." Ye Shian heard this and couldn't accept it, and immediately said, "Jiusi, you are thinking of His Majesty as those despicable villains."

"Shi'an," Gu Jiusi said calmly, "I'm not a bad person, but I don't think that there are good people in this world."

"It's not a clean road either."

These words made Ye Shian stunned. Liu Yuru stared blankly at the young man kneeling in the prison. that person. She didn't know why, her hand trembled slightly, but she calmed herself down, squeezed her fist, covered her gaffe, deliberately suppressed all emotions, and said with Gu Jiusi, "This is the worst plan. So, what do you think, Jiusi, should it be?"

"Since Luo Zishang's goal is Your Majesty, then Lu Yong and I are not enemies. You have seen this. Actually, the matter of Kuyin started many years ago. If we Let this case be made into the case of Liu Chun stealing treasury silver. Lu Yong and I are both newly appointed officials, and it is impossible to instruct him to steal for so many years. Stealing treasury silver is a capital crime, and finding the highest official position from a group of criminals The matter that comes to face Liu Chun's death will be over. Of course, it would be even better if the real murderer of Liu Chun could be found out."

Gu Jiusi said, he paused, as if thinking of something, and after a while, he changed his words: "No, I can't see Lu Yong first. You can think of a way first, let me see Your Majesty."

"I'll go to His Majesty." Ye Shian said decisively, "I beg His Majesty and Brother Zhou together to ask him to interrogate you."

Gu Jiusi shook his head, he thought for a while, then turned to look at Liu Yuru: "Yuru, you go into the palace."

"Me?"

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, and Gu Jiusi continued: "You take the evidence, go to the palace, tell your majesty everything, and then tell your majesty that I have a way to solve the predicament, and let your majesty interrogate me."

"How did she enter the palace? Now that Uncle Fan is the emperor, Yuru is afraid that she will not be able to enter the palace. Uncle and Lord Zhou are unwilling to intervene in this matter. Brother Zhou and I have not been summoned, and it is very difficult to see His Majesty, so we can’t go and tell His Majesty about this earlier, right?” Ye Shian frowned, analyzing the opening, Gu Jiusi was about to speak out, Liu Yuru said, “I have Method."

Liu Yuru immediately said: "I will go to Shuntian Mansion to beat the drums and plead my grievances, and I want to meet Your Majesty."

The three discussed it before Liu Yuru and Ye Shian went out.

Ye Shian looked back at her and asked, "Cold?"

"Not really." Liu Yuru smiled, raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, her voice was a little erratic: "I don't know why, people are actually not cold, and I feel that I can't speak in my heart. the chills."

"It's not just you," Ye Shian smiled, "Me too."

Speaking, Ye Shian turned his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and said slowly: "Yuru, do you think that Jiusi is a little different."

Liu Yuru did not speak, she lowered her eyes and listened to Ye Shian: "I remember when he was still in Yangzhou, every time I saw him, I felt vigorous. At that time, Yangzhou beggars were all I like him very much, I heard that his brain is not easy to use, and he is very easy to be deceived."

Hearing this, Liu Yuru couldn't help laughing: "Why is his brain not good? It's just that he is in a good mood and is willing to be deceived."

"I don't want to be deceived now," Ye Shian sighed, "Instead, he will deceive people."

Liu Yuru couldn't help but raise her head when she heard this. After a long time, she said, "Brother Ye, do you think people will change?"

Ye Shi'an didn't speak. After a long time, the carriage came, and Ye Shian sent Liu Yuru to the carriage. When Liu Yuru sat in the carriage, Ye Shian stood outside the carriage across the wall. , said slowly: "Yuru, where can there be people who don't change?"

Liu Yuru squeezed the skirt on her leg, and she felt a little scared in her heart. The guard outside said, "Madam, have you returned to the manor?"

Liu Yuru finally regained her senses and whispered, "Go back."

Liu Yuru returned to the mansion, and before she reached the door, she heard Shen Ming's voice: "I'm finally back."

Liu Yuru rolled up the curtains and saw Shen Ming sitting on the carriage with Ye Yun sitting on the other end of the carriage. Liu Yuru was a little strange: "What are you doing?"

"It's just her," Shen Ming raised his whip and pointed at Ye Yun next to him, "I kept clamoring to pick you up, and the noise made my brain hurt, so I came."

Hearing this, Liu Yuru couldn't help but laugh. Ye Yun said with a straight face, "You are coming with me."

"You didn't call me?"

Shen Ming immediately said, "Don't turn your face and deny you."

Ye Yun sneered and laughed: "I'm calling the bodyguard, who told you to come over?"

"You..."

"Okay," Liu Yuru interrupted them with a smile, "Go back, I have something to tell you, Shen Ming."

Liu Yuru put down the curtain when she finished speaking, Ye Yun and Shen Ming looked at each other, both showed disgust and turned their heads.

When they got to the mansion, Liu Yuru immediately told Shen Ming about the situation, and then said, "I have read the accounts and list given by Sun He, you will take the booklet tonight and go next to you. Find someone to record a confession for me."

Shen Ming nodded, no longer waiting, turned his head and walked out.

Liu Yuru slept all night, and when she woke up the next day and had breakfast, she saw Shen Ming took a large stack of paper and put it in front of Liu Yuru.

Shen Ming put his foot on the stool and said proudly: "How is it, I'm amazing, right? One night," he tapped on the paper, "Look at my ability to the sky! "

Liu Yuru smiled and said gently: "General Shen is naturally powerful."

Speaking, she took the confession from the side and swept it page by page, all those people in the warehouse confessed how they stole the treasury silver.

After Liu Yuru read it and confirmed that there was no connection loophole in the confession, she had someone copy it, put the copy in a box, and then put on a blue embroidered crane cloud satin flower After wearing the clothes and wearing a gold hairpin on his head, he took the copy and walked out.

She got into the carriage, the carriage swayed, and went to Shuntian Mansion, holding a copy of these evidences, thinking about how to speak after a while.

At this time, Shen Ming also went to Ye Shian and Zhou Ye, and rushed to Shuntian Mansion.

Liu Yuru went to Shuntian Mansion first, and people from outside Shuntian Mansion came and went, and the big drum of Shuntian Mansion stood at the door, already overgrown with vines.

Liu Yuru stepped forward and forcibly pulled the drumstick out of the vine. When she did this, someone stopped.

"Who is this?"

"Dressing so luxuriously, it should be from a wealthy family."

"Rich people, what are you doing here in Shuntian Mansion?"

"Have you seen that carriage?" Someone pointed to the carriage beside him, "It belongs to the family."

"Gu Family? Which Gu Family?"

"Master Liu? You mean Master Liu Chun Liu?"

"That's it."

…

The surrounding people were talking about it, Liu Yuru took the drumstick and smashed it on the drum surface.

The drum surface that had not been beaten for a long time made a deafening humming sound. Liu Yuru was thin and thin. : "My concubine is taking care of Liu's family, begging to see the Son of Heaven and avenging my husband!"

This shout, more and more people gathered, at this time Ye Shian, Zhou Ye and others also arrived, Zhou Ye followed Qin Wanqing, she stood beside Zhou Ye, watching Liu Yuru said, "Can't you just ask the Governor of Shuntian to do me a favor? Do you have to let her take the risk?"

"This process has to go." Zhou Ye whispered, "Yuru is in the Shuntian Prefecture to file a lawsuit against the imperial court. Originally, the governor of the Shuntian Prefecture had to submit a report. It's embarrassing. But without this process, Shuntianfu has no obligation to help her."

Qin Wanqing understood and nodded. Zhou Ye looked around and said with Qin Wanqing, "Help me watch, I'll find someone."

After he finished speaking, he left the crowd, went around to the back door, and found a guard privately, and let the guard go in and report: "You tell the lord, the one who beat drums outside and complained about injustice is my friend. He takes care of him."

The guard looked at the token with the word "Zhou", and did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly entered the Shuntian mansion and reported to the governor of the Shuntian mansion.

After Zhou Ye finished this, he returned to the main entrance. At this time, the gate of Shuntian Mansion finally opened.

Liu Yuru put down her drumstick, bowed to the guard, and walked into the gate. At this time, a clear female voice came from outside: "I didn't expect to encounter Shuntian Mansion's drumming." After saying that, a woman lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down from a luxurious carriage, softly saying, " Let’s go and have a look at this palace.”

Hearing this voice, Liu Yuru, Ye Shian and others were stunned, but Liu Yuru quickly reacted and took the lead in salute: "Your Highness Princess."

Li Yunshang walked to the door, looked at Liu Yuru, hurriedly helped Liu Yuru, and said softly, "It turned out to be Madam Gu, why is Madam Gu here?"

Speaking, Li Yunshang showed a clear expression: "Bengong understands, I'm afraid I'm here to take care of adults? You don't have to worry, Bengong will definitely help you watch this. , The Palace is here today, and I will definitely let this matter be done justly."

Liu Yuru listened to this, her heart "squeaked", but Li Yunshang pulled Liu Yuru and said to everyone: "This is Mrs. Gu's wife, I and Mrs. Gu are old acquaintances, you can Be entertained."

Li Yunshang said these few words, and the people outside whispered: "Everyone has such a good relationship with the princess, why did you go to Shuntianfu to see your majesty? Why don't you just find the princess?"

"It's all about making a name for yourself."

…

Although Liu Yuru couldn't hear the words in the crowd outside, she could roughly guess it. She was led into the court by Li Yunshang, and as soon as the Yin of Shuntian saw Li Yunshang, he was stunned, then stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness."

Li Yunshang let go of Liu Yuru and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I saw this lady playing drums outside the door today, and I was curious, so I came to have a look."

Speaking, Li Yunshang was led by the master to sit in the seat, raised his hand and said: "Master Wang doesn't need to care about this palace, just do it yourself."

The governor of Shuntian hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Alas! Then the trial will begin."

After finishing speaking, the governor of Shuntian shook his fat body, returned to the table, supported his hat, coughed lightly, looked at Liu Yuru, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: who?"

Liu Yuru lowered her eyes and said calmly: "My concubine is Gu Liu's wife, and she is the wife of Gu Jiusi, the servant of the household."

"What's the matter?"

Report to the emperor so that the women can present the evidence in their hands."

"Well, that..."

"What evidence is it inconvenient to present in Shuntian Prefecture?" Li Yunshang said suddenly, the governor of Shuntian was stunned, Li Yunshang sat on a chair and said with a fan, "Mrs Gu is still afraid of Shuntian. Will Tianfu destroy your evidence?"

Liu Yuru listened to this, looked up to the table, Li Yunshang shook her fan, and the corner of her mouth smirked, Liu Yuru was silent for a moment, but turned her head to look at the governor of Shuntian and said, "Sir, my husband and the official worship. geometry?"

"Fourth grade..." The governor of Shuntian didn't understand what Liu Yuru meant, and Liu Yuru continued, "The deceased Master Liu, what is the official worship?"

"From the fifth grade." The governor of Shuntian frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Sir, are you sure, do you want to try this case?"

Liu Yuru quietly looked at the governor of Shuntian: "If your lord insists on trying this case, the concubine will present the evidence."

"Then bring it up." Li Yunshang answered decisively, but the governor of Shuntian was in a hurry and said hurriedly, "Wait a minute!"

Speaking, the governor of Shuntian had a cold sweat on his head, he thought about it, turned his head and said to Li Yunshang: "His Royal Highness, the grade of this case, the minister can't control it."

"Then ask Mrs. Gu to go where she can manage."

Li Yunshang leaned on the chair and said with a fan, "When you do things, you have to obey the rules."

Without waiting for the others to speak, Liu Yuru said decisively: "It is not fair to manage the East. My husband's incident happened in the East Capital, and now people are locked in the Dongdu prison. Bang the drum, Lord Wang can judge, he should preside here, but he can’t, according to the rules of the Tianfu, it should also be reported to His Majesty, it is up to His Majesty to decide, I ask to see the Son of Heaven, and Lord Wang conveys it on his behalf, what’s wrong with it?!”

Speaking, Liu Yuru raised her eyes and looked at Li Yunshang: "It's the princess, what position do you hold as a princess, and you can overtake the post of the prefect in this Shuntian palace, dictate and interfere a lot?! You Sitting here at this moment, what kind of rule is it?!"

"You!" Li Yunshang pinched her chair and jumped up, she thought of sticking her head outside and looking at the people inside and the yamen next to her, she took a deep breath, sat back slowly, turned around Tou Tong, the governor of Shuntian, said, "Sir Wang, it's this palace that has a lot of control."

"It's okay, it's okay." The governor of Shuntian quickly waved his hand, then looked at Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru quietly looked at the governor of Shuntian, her eyes were firm and clear, after a while, after thinking about it in his heart, Finally, he said, "The official will write a document and submit it to the palace, but whether or not to summon it depends on Your Majesty."

"Wait a minute!" Li Yunshang spoke again, Liu Yuru frowned: "What do you mean by Your Highness?"

"This palace thinks of it," Li Yunshang turned his fan, "Shuntianfu beat drums and complained about grievances, they will be punished, men will be punished with thirty big boards, women will be punished, if they are punished, any case, Shuntian Prefecture will not accept it. Madam Gu," Li Yunshang laughed, "Would you like to be punished?"

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, but squeezed into Shuntian Mansion, and Ye Shian and Zhou Ye, who were standing not far away when they heard this, suddenly changed their faces. Qin Wanqing frowned and whispered, "Call Yuru back, there is always a way."

What does it count?"

Liu Yuru looked at Li Yunshang quietly, Qin Wanqing, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't stand it any longer, and said loudly, "Mrs. Gu, let's go, the torture is not a joke, just find a way!"

Liu Yuru lowered her eyes, but Li Yunshang laughed, the fan in her hand was tossing and turning in her hand, Li Yunshang looked at the pattern on the fan, and mocked: "Mrs. Gu knows, this Shuntian Mansion, I didn't come as I wanted to. If there is really a big grievance, I wouldn't be afraid of torture. Madam Gu came today, but is she ready to be tortured?"

Speaking, Li Yunshang looked up at her: "I'm afraid there isn't any? Mrs. Gu, Master Gu can be described as a rare genius. , he is a good hand to judge the situation and judge the situation. Do you really think that he is pure and innocent in such a person? Do you really dare to guarantee that Gu Jiusi has been wronged under the bright mirror of Shuntian? Isn't it involved in the slightest?"

Listening to these words, Liu Yuru raised her head and looked into Li Yunshang's eyes.

Liu Yuru's expression was too calm, so calm that Li Yunshang couldn't help but stunned.

However, Liu Yuru didn't know why, listening to Li Yunshang's words, she suddenly remembered last night, her hesitation, the more than 1,000 lives in Heifeng Fortress, and Gu Jiusi The appearance of talking calmly at night.

She stared at Li Yunshang, but for some reason, when she was unable to speak, she suddenly remembered that Gu Jiusi was standing on the streets of Yangzhou with scars and looked back with a high-spirited smile.

"I believe."

She suddenly gave birth to endless courage, and spoke calmly and firmly.

Li Yunshang was stunned for a while, Liu Yuru knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply, and said calmly: "My concubine is willing to be tortured, please report to the emperor!"

"Yuru!"

When Ye Shian heard this, he couldn't bear it any longer.

Zhou Ye frowned and looked at Liu Yuru above the court.

Liu Yuru didn't seem to hear Ye Shian's words, she knelt on the ground with a calm expression. The governor of Shuntian was stunned for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, he waved at the master, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a memorial in the court, which was presented to the palace.

Then the guards brought their finger clips over. They looked at Liu Yuru and couldn't bear it in their hearts.

Liu Yuru raised her head towards them, smiled gently, but said, "Excuse me."

The guards didn't dare to look at her again, but felt that this woman was as gentle as a lotus flower, even when she was about to be sentenced, she was very calm.

Put Liu Yuru's hand on the finger clip, the governor of Shuntian still couldn't bear it, he couldn't help saying: "Mrs. Gu, Your Majesty may not agree, you don't have to think about it again, I will have someone chase after the book. return?"

"Sister-in-law!" Shen Ming was outside, anxiously said, "Don't be stupid, sister-in-law!"

Liu Yuru didn't speak, just shook her head, and then said loudly: "I believe that my husband is fair and selfless."

While speaking, the finger clips suddenly exerted force, Liu Yuru clenched her teeth violently, the pain made her face pale instantly, her body trembled slightly, but she still spoke, her voice trembled and her tone was clear: "I Believe in my husband, you will be worthy of the emperor's grace, and you will be worthy of the people of Limin."

"My husband," Liu Yuru took a deep breath, sweat dripping down because of the pain, she tightened her muscles and said loudly, "You are a good official!"

He is a good officer.

A good husband.

Be a good friend.

A good man.

She wrote.

Liu Yuru took a deep breath, feeling her fingers snap loose.

At the moment when she released, the pain swept away, and a shock rushed straight to her forehead. She lost all strength and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Qin Wanqing couldn't bear it any longer, she pushed the person next to her away, rushed to the court, helped Liu Yuru, and said anxiously, "Yuru, are you alright?"

The governor of Shuntian also stood up and said hurriedly, "Call the doctor over."

Liu Yuru was speechless, leaning against Qin Wanqing's arms, panting low. Her fingers were completely black and purple, and they were shaking all the time, and she couldn't help it. Ye Shian and Shen Ming also rushed in. Li Yunshang looked at Liu Yuru quietly. After a long time, she stood up and said indifferently, "Let's take it to the backyard to recuperate first."

After speaking, Li Yunshang led the people out. Liu Yuru was lying in Qin Wanqing's arms and was carried back to the backyard.

After the doctor came over, he could only look at it, but couldn't touch it at all. But the bones must be connected, and they can only be fixed one by one by clenching their teeth.

The pain was more unbearable than the torture, Liu Yuru finally couldn't help it and exclaimed.

Sooner or later I…”

"Yun," Liu Yuru said in a weak voice, "I'm thirsty."

Ye Yun's eyes were red, she knew that Liu Yuru had lost her strength, and she was not really thirsty when she said this, just to make her stop talking nonsense.

Yin Hong was busy pouring water, Ye Yun fed Liu Yuru to drink it, and stopped talking nonsense.

Liu Yuru tied her fingers, and a letter finally came from outside, but it was a father-in-law standing at the door, respectfully: "Mrs. Gu, Your Majesty, please come to the palace."

"Another day..."

Before Ye Shian finished speaking, Liu Yuru said, "Help me up."

But when she said this, she was already up on her own.

Qin Wanqing and Ye Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Liu Yuru was supported and walked to the **** weakly, she smiled, her face pale, and said softly: "Father-in-law, please ."

The pain is still in the fingertips, but I have begun to get used to it.

Liu Yuru restrained herself, was supported by others, walked outside the Shuntian Mansion, and then sat on the sedan chair. She couldn't stand the bumps too much at the moment, the carriage could no longer sit, so Ye Yun called a sedan chair for her. Liu Yuru was supported by someone and sat up, and then carried it all the way into the palace.

Seeing that her condition was not good, the **** asked her to go back to inform her in advance.

When Liu Yuru arrived, Fan Xuan was practicing calligraphy. Seeing Liu Yuru, he was stunned. Liu Yuru saluted Fan Xuan in accordance with the palace rules.

Fan Xuan saw her trembling and knelt down, and then he reacted, and hurriedly went to help her, and said anxiously: "How come it is like this?"

"Shuntian Prefecture sues and needs to be tortured."

Liu Yuru knelt on the ground and completely kowtowed, then got up and said hoarsely: "The girl was disobedient because of the punishment, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Fan Xuan looked at Liu Yuru and was speechless for a while. He let Liu Yuru sit in the seat and sighed: "In the past, in Wangdu, I always thought it was easy for you to meet me. Now in Dongdu, I found out that it is so difficult for you to meet me."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven."

Liu Yuru replied calmly, "The Son of Heaven is different."

These words made Fan Xuan stunned for a while, he lowered his eyes, laughed dryly, and then said, "Are you begging for Jiusi?"

"Your Majesty," Liu Yuru said calmly, "If you plead for mercy, you won't have to spend so much time begging to see you."

Fan Xuan raised his eyes to look at Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru said: "Minnu has found the mastermind behind Liu Chun's case, and Minnu still has evidence."

Fan Xuan squeezed the pen in his hand, and looked at Liu Yuru nervously, Liu Yuru seemed to know nothing, and continued: "But the girl knows, Your Majesty is not willing to bring this mastermind to justice , or in other words, there is no way to bring him to justice, because the price is too high. I came to see Your Majesty this time, firstly to inform all the situation, and secondly, to ask Your Majesty to arraign my husband, my husband said that now His Majesty is in a dilemma, he has a solution ."
