Chapter 404 What is he covering up?
Chunxiao was sent away like this. Gu Jiu saw that the gentle smile on her face was completely different from before.
But I don’t know how long this medicine can last and what will happen.
After that, Gu Jiu once asked Zhuang Ziqi, but he didn't know his answer.
"This is the only medicine I haven't tried, but for sure, it works."
If so, no one is willing to lose a memory and let their life stagnate and blank.
After receiving Zhuang Ziqi's answer, Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh. She felt a little pitiful to Chunxiao for a moment.
Qin Zheng saw that she was depressed, so he patted her head and whispered: "This is also a good thing. Sometimes, forgetting may not be a kind of happiness."
When he said this, Gu Jiu subconsciously went to see him.
For no reason, she remembered that if it was such a situation in her previous life, it would be indeed a kind of happiness to forget...
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu felt relieved again.
She always thinks too much, but this is the matter of others after all. What does it have to do with her if you say cruel words?
...
The matter in Miyang City came to an end in two days.
A letter from Beijing was sent back and forth, accepting the new officials to take office. In addition, he issued an order to those arrested officials.
Mu Yuan was escorted back to Beijing, and those other than him were executed on the spot.
As soon as the news came out, it attracted the cheers of the people in the city, and Gu Jiu felt a little uneasy.
When she was at night, she quietly asked Qin Zheng: "Is this emperor's decree covering something, right?"
Hearing her words, Qin Zheng looked at her in surprise, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you think so?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu bit his lip and said, "It's just a gut feeling... According to the law, shouldn't everyone above the fourth rank should be escorted back to Beijing for disposal? But now he seems to be dealing with these people and has no intention of continuing to interrogate them at all."
The emperor did this, as if he wanted to protect someone. Thinking about Qin Zheng's words before, was the emperor intentionally trying to protect the second prince?
After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Qin Zheng curled his lips and laughed: "It's not that he doesn't want to be tried, but that this matter can only end here."
If the huge court really involves the emperor, how many officials will be involved in?
The emperor just wanted an answer, but he had no intention of shaking the foundation of the court.
Therefore, this case can only be found here.
All charges can only be ended here in Mu Yuan.
"It's too..."
Before Gu Jiu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Zheng and said softly: "It is already the limit for him to be able to achieve this. More than ten officials of all sizes have been implicated. Even if he investigates it further, it will be a big and small one. Hedong River Governors are put into jail. If he investigates it further, it will be a panic. Even if it is not the time for the imperial examination, the vacant positions need to be filled. But now the court can be dispatched, so who can guarantee that they are not already formed for private purposes?"
So, this case can only be here.
After hearing Qin Zheng's explanation, Gu Jiu was panicked, but he sighed a little: "I hope the officials who came this time are good."
Otherwise, the people would be too pitiful.
The little girl was born with a kind heart, but Qin Zheng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, at least in the past two years, this place has been peaceful."
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Now these people have been dealt with, at least the people who have come here will be much more restrained.
But what will happen after a few years is not certain.
When he said this, he didn't want Gu Jiu to know too much darkness, and then said: "Besides, the Ministry of Personnel has put in a lot of effort this time, and the emperor also brought a few veterans to the palace to discuss, and the officials sent were safe."
After receiving this, Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good."
The little girl was innocent and easy to deceive. Seeing her relieved look, Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile, but inexplicably felt that her heart softened, so he said softly: "It's getting late, go to bed quickly, and you have to set off tomorrow morning."
The matter in Miyang City has been over, and they will set off to return to Beijing tomorrow.
Nearly two months after coming out, he is finally going back. Gu Jiu was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Later, he was forced to hold it in his arms by Qin Zheng, and then he fell asleep.
The next morning, when Gu Jiu woke up, it was already midnight.
The things in the room were cleaned up before, and Qin Zheng was not in the room, but he could vaguely hear his voice.
It came from downstairs.
Gu Jiu yawned, got up and cleaned up, and after going out, he saw Qin Zheng talking to someone.
The new Hedong River Governor was the new Hedong River Governor, but Gu Jiu did not expect that he was an acquaintance.
"Mr. Qiao?"
The one who came to take office was Qiao Chu, the former commander of the Military Commander.
Coincidentally, Gu Jiu's several cases were interrogated by him, and the in and out was 100,000 taels, and both sides were deeply impressed by each other.
When Qiao Chu saw Gu Jiu coming out, he smiled in surprise and then said, "Mrs. Qin is safe. I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't be fine."
Gu Jiu bowed his head and then stood beside Qin Zheng.
But I couldn't help but suspicion. Qiao Chu was just a sixth-grade commander in Xicheng before, but now he has been directly promoted to so many levels. The court will agree?
Perhaps Gu Jiu's doubts were too obvious, so when Qiao Chu talked to Bai Wuyuan, Qin Zheng explained softly: "He is the eldest son of the Qiao family of the Grand Commander of the Cavalry."
As soon as this said, Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it instantly.
No wonder.
Not to mention that the Qiao family has guarded the border for generations, there have been three generations of loyalty and wise men who have been loyal to the country. Just talking about this generation of descendants of the Qiao family, Qiao Chu, who is the only one who is an official in the capital, is still only a sixth rank, and that group of military generals are unfair.
Therefore, it was natural that the emperor took this opportunity to promote him directly.
What's more, even if there is no such incident, with his background, it would be a matter of time before the emperor would value him.
Besides, he had already reached this age. Although the position of the Hedong River Governor was a little higher, he would not be able to lose his word.
Thinking about this, Gu Jiu's expression returned to normal. After saying goodbye to everyone, he followed him onto the carriage.
...
The way back is much easier than when I came.
When I came, I had to hurry to travel, so I almost slept in the open air. When I went back, I was not that nervous. At least at night, I stayed at the inn instead of on the carriage.
When passing by Deng County, Gu Jiu was worried about Zhuangziqi. Because he quietly told Qin Zheng, the group stayed in Deng County for another day.
Bai Wuyuan had no objection to this. Anyway, his purpose of this trip had been achieved, so it would be okay to stay on the road for a few more days.
The only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is that he has to watch a lover mix oil in honey on the road.
Even though these two people did nothing, Qin Zheng's eyes seemed to have changed when he looked at Gu Jiu, which made him feel very sore.
It was precisely because of this that when he arrived in Deng County, Bai Wuyuan first found an excuse: "You go to the city first, I'll go around."
Qin Zheng nodded and responded, Bai Wuyuan got out of the car and walked on foot.
On the contrary, Gu Jiu was a little surprised: "What's wrong with him?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng immediately glanced at her and asked back, "Want to care about others in front of me?"
The obvious jealousy made Gu Jiu laugh a little, and he said helplessly: "I'm just asking casually."
"That won't happen either."
Qin Zheng hugged the person and said lightly: "I don't allow it."
There were still people around. Gu Jiu was a little embarrassed, so he pushed him and said softly: "You are more serious."
In public, he was shameless, but she wanted it!
Zhuang Ziqi, who was behind him, coughed twice, and signaled that he was still watching the old man.
Gu Jiu blushed even more and pushed Qin Zheng away directly.
Qin Zheng didn't care at all, and turned around and said to Zhuang Ziqi as if nothing had happened: "The adoptive father has worked hard this time, so why not go to the post station to rest first?"
Hearing his words, Zhuang Ziqi waved his hand with a smile and said, "No need, the old man, go and have a rest."
He won't get involved with these two people.
Seeing that they were all gone, Gu Jiu gave Qin Zheng a angrily look and said, "Everyone is gone."
Moreover, his eyes were full of accusations, and Gu Jiu's skin was thin, so he naturally couldn't hold on.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm a little tired. Let's go and rest for a while and take you out for a walk at noon, okay?"
