Su Gu naturally also knew that what Zhou Yuanfu said was angry. Anyone who was treated like this would feel angry. It would be enough to save each other's face in this matter.
"Haha, I have heard about what happened before. Master Du is indeed a bit extreme in his behavior. Where is Bohou?"
"My subordinates are here. Your Excellency, I have already reported the case of traffic robbers in Yuanfu this week. Please give me two more days, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this case." Du Ji stepped forward and reported.
"Bohou, you did not handle this matter properly. This Zhou righteous man was previously threatened by thieves and could not help himself. Now, by chance, he has solved the crisis in Hanzhong. This is a blessing for the people of Hanzhong. How can you repay kindness with enmity?
Put the righteous man in jail?"
Su Gu's voice also became darker as he spoke. This Du Bohou was quite ignorant, as stubborn as a donkey.
"Master Taishou is new here, don't be deceived by Zhou Cang. I am not repaying kindness with hatred. Zhou Yuanfu has many soldiers under his command. If he has evil intentions, then we will all die without a burial place!"
"Hmph, it's true that I'm new to Guibao Land. But as far as I know, if Yishi Zhou had deliberately conspired to rebel, I guess your heads would be hanging on the city wall by now, right? Everyone, please tell me."
Seeing that Du Ji was ignorant, the prefect was too lazy to talk nonsense with Du Ji. He turned around and said to the others, obviously making people take sides.
Zhao Song, the chief clerk, bowed and said, "What the prefect said is reasonable. If Zhou Yishi has a traitorous intention and cooperates with the traitors inside and outside, this is the city of Nanzheng. Why bother?"
Yang Song, who was in charge, also hurriedly expressed his position, "That's right, that's right, Zhou Yishi entered the bandit camp alone. We are really ashamed of his boldness. If there is no reward for such a great achievement, I'm afraid everyone will not accept it."
Everyone expressed their opinions one by one. As long as they were not short-circuited, they all understood how to choose in front of the prefect and the county magistrate. Only Chen Tiao did not say a word.
"Zhang Chen, how do you think this matter should be judged?"
Prefect Su obviously didn't want anyone sitting on the fence around him.
When Chen Tiao saw Su Gu asking, he hesitated and said: "Master Du is also dedicated to the peace of Hanzhong. However, this week's righteous soldiers have indeed made meritorious service in repelling the enemy. The soldiers and horses he led have carefully observed in secret, and they are indeed very brave. If these soldiers
If Ma deliberately rebels, we will definitely not be able to defend Nanzheng."
"Hahaha, you are all sensible people. Mr. Du, what do you think? Are all the officials in Hanzhong stupid, and you, Mr. Du, are the only ones who understand everything?!"
"I am ashamed of myself. During these days when thieves besieged the city, I have been overly worried. I have been ill recently and am about to recuperate for a few days. Please grant me your permission, Lord Prefect!" Du Ji was disheartened at this time.
"That's right." Su Gu said happily.
Du Ji walked away in despair, looking at his back very lonely.
"Is Zhou Yishi satisfied?"
Zhou Yuanfu also knew not to go too far, so he stood up and followed Su Gu out.
"Why did Zhou Yishi take this bamboo pole? He threw it away. Are you injured? Someone, help Zhou Yishi quickly."
…
"Miss Wan'er, just eat some. We women have this fate and we have to accept it."
Du Ji's stepmother sat in front of Du Waner's bed and advised, "Bohou's mother died in childbirth, so his father married me as a second wife. I was only sixteen years old at that time. But his father died within two years, leaving only
The life we orphans and widowed mothers have cannot be said to be more difficult."
When Du Mu said this, she wiped her tears.
"But what can I do, life has to go on. I was only eighteen years old at the time, and Bohou was only two years old. I worked hard during the day and had to take care of the children at night. I would sigh every time I thought of my hardships, and then I would be filled with anger.
I spread it all on Bohou. I beat him a lot when he was a child, but he was very obedient and filial to me. Gradually, I accepted my fate and thought, this is all arranged by God. Gradually, I accepted my fate.
You’ll be able to survive.”
"You silly girl has a hard life. You lost your mother when you were young, and you married a husband who was jailed. But women have to accept their fate. Just be patient and you will eventually be able to live a good life."
After Du Waner had a fight with Zhou Yuanfu that day, she fell ill when she came back. In just two days, she was in disgrace. "Auntie, please stop trying to persuade me. I was resigned to my fate. He looks carefree, but he treats people badly."
It makes people feel warm in their hearts when they are good. I also want to live a good life with him, but he calls me a poisonous woman. Ahem, cough, cough, I am a poisonous woman!"
Du Waner started to cry again.
When Du Mu saw Du Wan'er crying, she said again: "This man sometimes gets into trouble. I have scolded your brother for this. It is indeed something he did wrong. After all, he is also a brother-in-law.
Relatives should support each other. Bohou is so awesome in doing things, no wonder your husband thinks so much. Don’t worry, I will talk to Bohou well when he comes back and ask him to release your husband, and then I can make peace with you. Old saying
Didn’t I say that all fights at the head of the bed and fights at the end of the bed will disappear as soon as you two get some sleep?"
When Du Waner heard this, her face turned red and she thought to herself, this idiot thinks she is a poisonous woman. Could it be because she did not consummate her marriage with him? But how could a girl like her mention this matter? This person is really an idiot, from the looks of it
He is a rough guy but also very pedantic. He puts on a show in front of others. He always goes to his own place when sleeping. He can't take the initiative on his own. It's so embarrassing for him.
Seeing that Du Wan'er was in a better mood, Mother Du said, "Okay, eat something quickly. This way your husband will be able to have some strength when he comes out of prison. If you give him a fat boy earlier, how dare he use harsh words to hurt you?"
you."
"Oh, aunt, what are you talking about? You are so embarrassed."
Du Waner's ears turned red with embarrassment, and her cheeks felt hot.
"Okay, I won't tell you. When Bohou comes back, I will tell him. This child is really troublesome. He does things very carelessly. His own relatives don't even know how to take care of him. What else does he do for the court?"
Yue'er also took the opportunity to bring the food.
"Did he eat all the food last night?"
Du Waner was still worried and asked Yue'er again.
"Well, I ate everything. I watched him eat it, and he said it tasted good."
Yue'er pretended to be relaxed and said, but she was worried in her heart. The knot between the uncle and the young lady might not be solved so easily.
"Humph, thin lover, I feel so sorry for him that he can't eat, but he acts like a normal person. I shouldn't let you bring him food. After starving him for a few days, he will remember how good I am."
Du Waner said bitterly again.
"The child greets its mother."
Du Ji walked to the room and saw Du's mother there, so he quickly said hello, then turned to Du Waner and said, "Has my cousin felt better? Have you taken the medicine prescribed by the doctor?"
Du Mu pretended to be angry and said: "Humph, you still care about your cousin! If you really care about your cousin, let her husband go as soon as possible. Let's see if there is a chance to promote her in the future, so that your cousin will be considered for life.
I have someone to rely on."
Du Ji smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I don't need to worry about this matter. The new governor has already arrived, and he seems to think very highly of me. I guess the Zhou family has done something to it, and now the tiger is out of the cage."
, it will be difficult to lock her in again."
"Really? Is he out? Where is he?"
Du Waner asked with concern.
"He is probably celebrating his victory and having a bar with the officials. With the Zhou family as his backer, he is very proud now."
"That, that..." Du Waner stopped talking.
"What, then, if that's the case, it's God's blessing. After he finishes drinking, let your brother call him back."
Du Mu was also happy, "You brothers are also close to each other. If he becomes successful in the future, it will be good for your career."
"Mother, you don't understand. This matter is not that simple. Some people are thieves once and stay thieves forever! You can't change it." Du Ji said sadly.
"What don't I understand about this? If you become a thief, you will naturally have a difficult life and cannot survive. When he becomes rich, has a wife and children and can live a decent life, why would he bother to be a thief? You, you can't just look at it
As for his past, this time he saved the whole city. If you go to the street and listen, everyone is thinking of his good deeds."
Du Mu said angrily.
"Mom, if he is just a little thief who robs the house, I can spare him for my sister's sake. But he wants to be a big thief! He wants to be the enemy of the imperial court!"
