The evidence is conclusive. After dealing with Xue Liu and several government officials involved in the incident, Gu Yunji calmed down and said to Qi Zhijian and Zhang Cuiying: "It will take some time to collect evidence and sort out the files. During this time, you should wait at home for news. Don't worry. , I will definitely bring Xue Liu to justice and give you an explanation."

The eyes of the two who watched the whole process were already filled with tears, especially Zhang Cuiying, who watched with her own eyes how Gu Yunji was interrogated, collected evidence step by step, and finally successfully arrested Xue Liu.

In the past three years, in order to avenge her father and husband, Zhang Cuiying encountered too many obstacles and encountered too many obstructions and ridicules.In Yibin County, Xue Liu covered the sky with one hand, and she had nowhere to ask for help; Xue Liu took care of everything in the city of Xuzhou, and neither the prefect Yan Zhengqian nor the fellow prefect Chen Xunzhou paid any attention to it and would not accept it.

Thinking of the sad past of redressing grievances, the long-overdue justice at this moment is even more precious.Zhang Cuiying had mixed feelings in her heart, some were sad and desolate, but most of all was the joy and excitement of being wronged.

She knelt down in front of Gu Yunji all at once, kowtowed her head several times, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Gu! Thank you, Mr. Gu! Your great kindness will never be forgotten by a girl, and I will repay you like a horse in my next life!"

Gu Yunji hurriedly turned sideways to avoid her courtesy, and stretched out his hand to help her up: "This is my duty, not to mention great kindness, how can it be worthy of you as an ox? After the judgment of this case, If you can live your life in peace, that is the best reward for me."

Zhang Cuiying wiped away her tears, and said a little embarrassedly: "That day at the riverside, Master Gu paid for the rice for me, not only did I not thank you, but I left you there and ran away by myself, I am really sorry. "

"The main reason is that on the one hand, I didn't know your identity, and I was worried that you were sent by Xue Liu. On the other hand, the rice tank at home was bottomed out, and my husband and children were starving, so I couldn't take care of so much."

"It's just a small matter, I can understand, you don't have to take it to heart." Gu Yunji smiled slightly, and took out a silver ingot from his arms, "You didn't cut much rice that day, so you should finish eating these days, right? Take this money , buy some grain pork, I see that your daughter and husband are both very thin and need to be supplemented."

Zhang Cuiying panicked and said: "This, how can this be done? I haven't even paid you back the rice money that day, how can I take your money again?"

Gu Yunji couldn't help but put the money into her hand: "If you don't want to pay it back, take it first. It should be some time before Xue Liu's judgment. During this time, your family must eat, right? Without money, your family's rice It was stolen by the natives again, is it possible that you are going to the river bank to cut the rice planted by the Chen family again?"

"If you really don't want to, you have the right to assume that I lent you the money, and pay it back to me when you have more money in the future."

Tears filled Zhang Cuiying's eyes, she didn't know what to say for a while, but after accepting the money, she was very grateful to him.

After leaving Zhang's house, Gu Yunji returned to the government office and began to write and sort out the case of Xue Liu's invasion of fields and murder, and complete the chain of evidence.

With Zhang Cuiying's land deed and Qi Zhijian's leg injury, it can be basically concluded that after Xue Liu forced the land exchange to fail, he forcibly occupied the people's land and ordered his subordinates to injure and disable people.As for Zhang Fengyi's death, before Xue Liu could admit it, the government servants who participated in the beating couldn't bear the torture and rushed to confess.

Everyone pushed the wall down, and when they heard that Xue Liu was imprisoned, those who had been bullied and persecuted by him, and those who had vendettas against him, all ran to the government office to sue him.If you don't check, you don't know. Gu Yunji checked and found that the crimes committed by Xue Liu are simply too numerous to write down. Ten heads are not enough to chop off.

Although some things have a long history, lack of evidence, and the authenticity can no longer be tested, but the case of the Zhang family and the bribery evidence written by Xue Liu when he first took office are enough to confiscate his family property and sentence him to beheaded for public display .

Half a month later, the relevant personnel in Xue Liu's case should be sent to prison, and the evidence that should be collected is almost collected, and Gu Yunji is left to make a final public judgment on Xue Liu.

However, after Gu Yunji sorted out all the evidence in the case, he only detained Xue Liu and others, and he was still waiting to convict him, as if he was waiting for something.

On this day, Gu Yunji was reading official documents in the government office, and Chen Peishi came in to report: "My lord, Tongzhi Master Chen is here to visit."

Gu Yunji raised his head from the official document, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly: "After waiting for so many days, he finally couldn't sit still. Invite Master Chen to the living room, and I will go there right away."

"Yes."

A moment later, in the living room.

Gu Yunji had a warm smile on his face: "Master Chen took the time to come here, I'm not far away to welcome you."

Chen Xunzhou was also full of smiles, and his attitude was a bit more enthusiastic than Gu Yunji's: "Your Majesty, you are being polite, why don't you take time out, you are much busier than me during this time, speaking of it, I was the one who disturbed Mr. Gu. "

Chen Xunzhou is worthy of being an old fritter in the officialdom, and the scene said the same thing: "The whole Xuzhou government has heard that Mr. Gu's new official took office, and his ass has not been sitting in the government office. I went around in several villages and towns, and several pairs of shoes were worn out. This kind of diligence and dedication really made me feel ashamed."

Gu Yunji also answered impeccably, and said modestly: "Master Chen speaks seriously. I am an official who has just arrived in Xuzhou Prefecture. I am not familiar with the place, and it is no different from having black eyes. It is not as good as Mr. Chen who has been operating in the local area for a long time. He knows everything well. The lower officials are stupid, and they are afraid of disturbing Mr. Chen and the magistrate Yan by asking for advice frequently, so they can only rely on their legs and learn it by themselves."

The smile on Chen Xunzhou's face was even wider, and he patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "It stands to reason that when Mr. Gu just arrived, I should wait to prepare a banquet for him. But recently, Mr. Gu has been running around during the day, and the evening has not yet arrived. When it was time, Madam Ling took her home in person and told me to wait for 'no chance'."

Gu Yunji smiled a little embarrassedly, with an embarrassed look of being knocked out of his family: "...my wife has strict rules, I am not allowed to sleep outside, and I have to go home for dinner when the time comes, and I... dare not No way..."

Chen Xunzhou laughed when he heard the words, and joked: "I didn't expect such a young talent as Mr. Gu to be afraid of guilt. You are so young and you are being controlled so strictly. What will happen in the next few decades? Hahahahahaha... ..."

"Yes, yes, Master Chen is right..."

Gu Yunji laughed and echoed a few words perfunctorily, but suddenly he changed the subject and asked unpreparedly: "Master Chen came this time...why?"
