Chapter 173     The past is not settled (2)

After leaving the garden, Gao Jiu wasted a long time and carefully considered what he heard last night. He wrote a letter in person, sealed it, and handed it to the servants who came with him: "Take it back to Beijing today and hand it over to the adults. After the adults read the letter, there will be a reply. You bring it back to me. I'll wait for you here."

"Yes." The servant did not dare to neglect, so he hired a horse and rushed back to Beijing. Sure enough, after reading the letter, he wrote another eight lines and handed it back to Tianjin. Gao Jiu received the letter and opened it. The content was only a few short sentences: "After receiving the letter, when it was cheap, he would discuss in detail with Lord Hu of Tianjin Prefecture. He can tell the truth."

After receiving Sushun's reply, Gao Jiu knew it was already late and it was not good to go to the government office to disturb him, so he had to rest and wait until he would like to see Hu Linyi tomorrow.

The next morning, Gao Jiu got up early, changed into clothes, went straight to the government office, and arrived at the door, handed over his famous letter: Gao Jiu, a student from Baoding in Zhili, bowed his head and comforted the platform.

Hu Linyi took over the famous sect, Gao Jiu, didn’t know this person? He was worried about not seeing him, but was afraid that something would happen, so he immediately told him to meet in the study.

Gao Jiu was very respectful in his rituals and bowed down properly. He knelt down and rang a few times, "I was born in Gao Jiu and pay homage to my husband's ancestors."

"I dare not, I dare not." Hu Linyi helped him vainly, "Brother Gao, please get up and talk."

After the ceremony was finished, Gao Jiu sat down at the guest seat and bowed to Hu Linyi. "When the students were in the capital, they heard that Lord Hu was unparalleled in wisdom for a long time. Especially in March of this year, the emperor personally visited Jinfu. The adults loved the people as much as their sons and were worried about the people as much as their wounds. It was not to build a road or destroy the people's residences. Even if the emperor was shining with the wise candles, it was hard to hide the great intention of the adults' worrying about the people!"

Hu Linyi was also very proud of what he did at the beginning, and felt even more comfortable when he heard this. He smiled and shook his head, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it! Brother Gao has been awarded a misunderstanding. This is all the emperor's heart of loving the people, and Runzhifang dared to act so boldly. To be honest, before the emperor's emperor's emperor entered the city, my heart was raised in my throat! Haha!"

Gao Jiu naturally praised a few more words. Hu Linyi asked with a smile, "I don't know if Brother Gao is here, but is there anyone who can teach me?"

"The adults are so serious. Gao Cai is a little unfamiliar with his knowledge. How can he bear the word "teaching"? However, when he comes to Tianjin, there is indeed a major event that he wants to ask the adults to help him."

"Please say it."

"I'm not hiding it to the adults. In the middle of the capital, the student was a listener at Master Su's mansion. This time, when I came to Jinfu, I had a handwritten letter from my adults and sent it to the adults."

Hu Linyi's mind changed, "But is Lord Su Yuting Su of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"It's my adult."

Hu Linyi was stunned for a moment. He asked himself that he had nothing to do with Sushun, so why would he find himself? After hesitating for a moment, Zhan Yan smiled, "Then, I wonder if Hu can serve Brother Yuting?"

Gao Jiu took out the letter from his arms and handed it over. Hu Linyi opened it on the spot, starting with: "Runzhi Futai Master is like a meeting..." Then he went straight to the point and told the story of the emperor coming to Tianjin and having a relationship with Ziyun on the night of the night. After that, the girl was in love with dragon seeds and went to Beijing to join him one by one. Finally, he said that Gao Jiu was a servant in his mansion, who was quick and quick and sent him to Tianjin. First, it was to confirm whether the dragon seeds in Ziyun's mansion were confirmed; second, it was also to solve the problem that the third aunt of the lord of the pastoral family was reluctant to leave Ziyun lost. I hope Hu Linyi could turn things around and completely suppress the matter.

Hu Linyi read the letter for a long time, and thought to himself. He was also considered a pure stream, but what was slightly different from Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Jiang Zhongyuan was that he knew the way to adapt. If it were a little ugly, he would not have given the emperor such a merit when he was accustomed to the demolition of churches in China and France.

In Hu Linyi's heart, there is only willingness to do things or not, but there is no saying whether he can do it. In order to achieve his goal, he can make friends with anyone. He will never abandon it because the other party has political differences with him.

After reading the letter, I thought about it before and after, I had already mastered it all, but there was no need to rush to express my opinion. Instead, I looked at Gao Jiu with a smile, "Brother Gao, don't know what Lord Su wants our mansion to do? The third aunt sent documents continuously and asked Tianjin prefectures to send someone to search in detail. It would be difficult to forcibly dismiss her complaint, right?"

Gao Jiu was stunned and then understood. He really didn't expect that Hu Linyi would actually discuss the conditions with Lord Su? He smiled, "This matter is of great importance, and students dare not interfere. I think, why not invite the adults to Beijing and have an interview with my master?"

"Then there is no need." Hu Linyi smiled and shook his head. He said, "As Brother Gao said, this matter is very important. If the third aunt refused to let go, don't say that she can't delay her business for a long time. Even if she is in the hall, I'm afraid that I will not be able to save face!"

"What do my husband's ancestors think?"

"I think I will always ask Brother Gao to go back to Beijing and ask Lord Su to supervise the book to cover up this matter, so that our government can do things."

"So? The students dare not be good at it. Please let me allow me a few days and then stop after reporting to my master. What does Lord Hu think?"

After sending Gao Jiu away, Hu Linyi ordered someone to invite He Mu to the government office. After a brief greeting, he asked, "Gui County, the last time the lord of the pastoral country came to the palace and submitted official documents for the loss of Miss Ziyun. Is there any whereabouts of this matter?"

He Mu rushed over with sweat. He heard Shangfeng's tone of badness and felt panic in his heart, "When I say that, I am humble and incompetent, and I have not yet had the whereabouts of the lost person."

"It's been a month since this matter?"

"Yes, what the lord said is not bad. So far, it has been more than thirty-two days."

"Although Miss Ziyun is a member of the gateway and is lost for no reason, it always makes the people in the garden worry day and night, not to mention that she is still pregnant, where can she go?"

"What the adults see is very much. I also thought that the Ziyun girl was pregnant and her body became more and more inconvenient. The places she could go to were limited. She also wrote to Zhili everywhere. Pay more attention. Once she got the news, she would send someone to check it out immediately. However, Fangzhi was gone... "

Hu Linyi thought for a while and asked again, "Does the third aunt know who the father of the fetus in Ziyun's belly is?"

"This, Bei Zhi once asked her in the hall. She just said that since the emperor settled in Jincheng in March this year, Miss Ziyun had only seen a Si Ye Gan from the capital. However, they met each other and were dewy couples. They never thought about finding out where the Si Ye Gan came from. However, after hearing from Miss Ziyun occasionally mention that Si Ye Gan seemed to be on duty in front of the emperor."

"Oh? Is this true?"

"It's true." He Mu said, "The fourth master Gan used to reward Miss Ziyun, and the golden gold that is often used in the palace to reward the servants. It is rare to see it outside. The third aunt brought the gold to the hall and the humble ones."

If Gao Jiu had arrived, Hu Linyi would really think that the Fourth Master Gan was a slave to the emperor. He took advantage of the opportunity to go to Tianjin to search for the flames in the dark night, creating this evil fate. Who knew that in the end, he would be the emperor? This is not necessary, and he can't tell He Mu.

Hu Linyi thought about it and said to him, "This matter, I think I have to find my third aunt and ask her clearly. Yes, what is her name?"

"Her maiden name is Tang. She married into the Liu family."

"Oh. I will send Liu Tang to the hall another day, and our mansion will personally ask questions. The case will be revealed. If we don't mention whether we can find a woman who has left, we will make the people speechless."

"Yes, yes, yes." He Mu was overjoyed. If Hu Linyi was willing to take over this matter, it would undoubtedly be a big problem to help him solve it. He didn't have to think too much about whether there was another reason. He stood up and kept saluting to the prefect: "Grandmaster is like a god to decide a case. If such a case can be helped by the Lord, it will definitely be just around the corner if he wants to find the lost woman."

Hu Linyi smiled bitterly in his heart, "Just look forward to what my brother said?"

***************

Liu Tang was taken to the second hall of the prefect's office. Because he was a woman, he couldn't go to the hall to ask for a big fuss, so he temporarily changed to the side hall to salute the prefect. Hu Linyi warmly allowed her to sit down and asked again, "Liu Tang, my mansion asked you, how many years have you been in the pastoral country?"

"It's been seventeen years since I replied."

"Did someone like Miss Ziyun have been like this in these seventeen years, and they didn't say anything about it because they were pregnant?"

“This, some.”

"Something? When did it happen?"

"It was fifteen or sixteen years ago. The little girl had just taken over the countryside and didn't understand the rules. A girl in the portal became pregnant. When she found out, her momentum was no longer enough. I scolded her a few words. The girl in my garden couldn't think about it for a moment, so she ran away privately with her soft and a maid."

"What about it later?"

"Later, when the child was born, the mother and daughter came back."

"That's it! Since there were previous examples, how did you know that Miss Ziyun would not be like this this time? She hid in a relative's house in another place to wait for birth, and when the child was born, she would return with her child?"

Aunt San thought about it, shook her head and said, "This time... it's different."

"Why is it different?"

The third aunt said, "The last time I happened was that there were many things in the little girl. As the girl in my garden was as big as a drum. If she had an abortion again, she would be in danger of one corpse and two lives. But this time, shortly after Ziyun became pregnant, she discovered it to the servants in the garden. It was too early, but Ziyun refused to abortion, so I quarreled with her and finally left."

As the third aunt said, she burst into tears, "Think about it now, if she is willing to give birth, just let her give birth! Why bother to force the child out of the garden and suffer from the wind and frost outside?"

Hu Linyi really wanted to tell her that Miss Ziyun has now arrived at a wealthy family that Wan Fang admired. Your pity has completely fallen into the empty space! But this is just what he thought in his heart. He never dared to do it superficially. Instead, he pretended to be a stern expression, "You don't have to blame yourself too much. I think, when one day, Miss Ziyun is really back, you, mother and daughter, and some will be a complaint."

"Hey! I just hope to be as my lord said."

"By the way, do you know who the father of the child in Miss Ziyun's belly is?"

When he mentioned this person, Liu Tang's face was full of anger and his tone suddenly rose, "I know! He is from the capital, a man with the surname Gan..."

Hearing her verbal disrespectful words, Hu Linyi slapped the table hard, "Speak and say it, don't speak rudely!"

After frightening him like this, Liu Tang was startled, swallowed the second half of his sentence, and looked up timidly, "Yes, the little woman is confused."

"You continue."

Liu Tang said that the Fourth Master Gan came to the garden and met Ziyun, and finally said, "Sir, this must be the one with the surname Gan. He and his servant named Su, join forces to instigate my daughter from the side and deceive my daughter. Sir, you have to make the decision for the little girl!"

Hu Linyi was stunned and asked, "Who is the surname Su? Who is it?"

After hearing Liu Tang's explanation, he talked about Su's appearance, and Hu Linyi immediately knew that it must be Sushun! He asked again, "Then, do you know who this surname is Su?"

Liu Tang sighed leisurely and replied, "The adults don't know the rules of the people's family. If you enter the door, you will be a guest. How can you allow us to ask about our wealth before we can entertain you? To be honest, seven out of ten people came, they were talking nonsense."

Hu Linyi found it funny, "This is also a reward for only accepting the money!" He said, "You don't know who Mr. Gan is, nor what kind of slaves in his mansion are. Just like looking for a needle in a haystack, where will the mansion go to find you?"

Liu Tang heard that he was rude and panicked. If he refused to care, where would he go to find his daughter? He was anxious and remembered her, "Sir, the little girl has a love for her!"

"explain."

"Yes. When Mr. Gan came to the garden, he once told Ziyun that he was a worker under the emperor." As she said that, she looked at Hu Linyi with her eyes curled up, hoping that his words would have some effect. But she didn't know that it still disappointed her, "Being a worker under the emperor? To be honest, even if it is our mansion, it can be considered as a worker under the emperor. Do you know which yamen he is in, what is his mission? Who will be in charge of?"

Hu Linyi said while observing his expression, "Look, you don't know all of this. Do you want our mansion to take you to the middle of the capital and search for each yamen? What a joke!"

Although Liu Tang was smart, he was a man of the world. He had no idea for Hu Linyi to deceive him with such an official accent, so he had to leave the government office and return to the garden alone.

The government sent back the official documents and refused to accept the case, which made Liu Tang sit in a distressed city. Her daughter suddenly ran away, making her countryside a laughing stock for her fellow travelers in the gateway of Jincheng! In addition, the business was not as good as before by Mr. Ding Wu, and Liu Tang felt disheartened and wanted to leave.

But if you are alone, it is still easy. How can you leave just by yourself, along with a girl, a maid, a fake mother, a turtle slave, and a whole family?

Just so happened that the sworn sister Liu Si's mother came to visit the countryside. She knew that she was not in a state of mind and deliberately explained her a few words: "Sister, it's not that girl who said you, Ziyun's temper is the same as you. When you encounter something, you will get stuck. What can you talk about when you are mother and daughter? Do you want to get to this point?"

Liu Tang sighed, "Sister, what's the point of talking about these things? You are here, and I'm asking you something to ask me."

“What is it?”

"I don't want to continue working in this pastoral country. If I want to invite my sister to take it over, I always have to give these people in the garden a place to eat. I think it's no problem to make her prosperous with your knowledge. Compared to my sister, I will definitely be able to go to a higher level."

Liu Si's mother was stunned. Although Tianyuan was a secret door, she enjoyed a name in Tianjin. In addition to the visitor's mood of seeking seclusion and beauty, there was Ziyun, a treasure in the box. If she had said this in normal times, she would have taken it with both hands; but now, her situation is no longer as good as before.

This is not only for the sake of the Ziyun girl being alone, but more importantly, Mr. Ding Wu. In order to make a plan with his third aunt, he also asked Ms. Ziyun to escape privately. Mr. Ding was really angry and said in public: If anyone dares to visit the countryside again, he will be unable to get along with me, Ding Wu!

Mr. Ding is known to everyone in Tianjin, and he is even more a cruel character who no one dares to provoke. If such a person insists on being unable to get along with the countryside, then the countryside will be left with the only way to close the door and door.

At this time, the third sister asked herself to take over, which undoubtedly gave herself a very big hot potato! She may not make a lot of money in the future. She would have to pay a lot of money every month by feeding people and horses. Liu Si's mother has always been smart. How can she do such a thing as a tiger tail?

But if you can't say that, you have to let Liu Tang take back his ridiculous plans and be grateful for his moral behavior. Liu Si's mother thought about it and had an idea in her heart, "Sister, if she has such a thought, the girl should accept it. She doesn't take the opportunity to take charge of the garden, but just to give these people under her sister a reason. But, sister, I want to advise you a few words."

"What are you persuading?"

"Sister, you have been in charge of the music house for many years, but you can't even bear this little bit of fall? What is Ding Wu? He is just a dog young man! If you say something like this, you can just think that he is farting." Liu Si's mother said: "Why should sister be depressed for such a villain?"

Liu Tangshi smiled and shook her head, holding Liu Si's mother's hand, "Girl, your words are not wrong, I just think about it for me. With Ding Wu in Tianjin City, where can I live? In the future, he brings people to make trouble every day. How can I continue my business? Instead of doing this..."

"If you can't do Tianjin, just go to Beijing!" Liu Si's mother blurted out, and both of them were stunned. "Go to Beijing?"

"Yes." Just as the moment of the quarrel, Liu Si's mother had already thought of a countermeasure, "Ding Wu is arrogant in Tianjin. When he arrived in Beijing, he was at the foot of the emperor. Not to mention him, even his father, he was just an official the size of a sesame and green bean. Ding Wu is only able to manage Beijing no matter how long his hands are, can he still manage Beijing? Besides, she advised, "Isn't that girl Ziyun also arrived in Beijing? If her sister resumed her old business in Beijing, she could do business and visit Ziyun's whereabouts. In the future, wouldn't it be a good thing for her mother and daughter to meet in a foreign land in Beijing?"

Liu Tang said something to her so much that his expression gradually became clear. "But, girl, I am not familiar with the place like Beijing. When I first came there to conquer the world, there were many difficulties."

"I'm not afraid. I'll teach you a good idea." Liu Si's mother said, "It's like this..."
