The first thousand one hundred and seventieth chapters visit
Two days later.
Gao Yuanzhi was beheaded.
The property was confiscated.
Gao Yuanzhi, a small county magistrate, was confiscated with more than 400,000 yuan of Kaiyuan Tongbao, countless delicacies and antiques, and more than 50 wives and concubines.
As for the officials implicated in the Gao Yuanzhi case, there were more than 30 officials from the Sixth Ministry of the Central Government to Jingzhao Prefecture and Wannian County Government. All of them were dismissed from their posts and investigated. Some were exiled and some were imprisoned.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole of Chang'an was in an uproar.
What is surprising is that before, the people of Chang'an City praised Gao Yuanzhi for being the best official in history. But as soon as this incident came out, everyone suddenly jumped up and scolded Gao Yuanzhi.
, no one remembers that he killed Mr. Lan to eliminate harm for the people.
Only then did someone realize something was wrong.
It seems that the previous discussions of the people were deliberately guided by others.
Of course, this incident did not attract much attention and was forgotten after a few days.
At the same time, an edict was delivered to Du He.
The content of the edict is very simple, that is, Du He will serve as the magistrate of Wannian County, and his rank will jump from the ninth rank to the eighth rank.
Ximen Qing, who came to announce the decree, said: "Congratulations, Mr. Du, you have been promoted again in less than half a month."
Du He frowned and asked: "Normally, Wannian County is a superior county, and the county magistrate is at least the seventh rank. Why am I only the eighth rank?"
Ximen Qing looked around and saw that there was no one around, then whispered: "Master Du, Your Majesty was originally going to promote you to the sixth rank, but the officials thought that you jumped from the ninth rank to the sixth rank.
It's too shocking. They originally only wanted you to be promoted to the ninth rank, but it was His Majesty who asked for it, so you were promoted to the eighth rank."
With that said, he handed a piece of paper to Du He.
Du He glanced casually.
These are the lists of officials who opposed his promotion.
After Du He read it, he burned the list in front of Ximen Qing.
After Ximen Qing left, Du He said coldly: "Humph, these idiots... sooner or later they will deal with you one by one..."
…
Rumble.
Wow.
Thunderstorms pouring down.
A carriage came out of the backyard of Xu Guogong's mansion.
The person sitting in the car was none other than Gao Shilian.
Gao Shilian is now the governor of Tongzhou and no longer the minister of official affairs. He is preparing to take office in Tongzhou.
In the carriage, there was also his son Gao Xixi.
Gao Xingxing muttered: "Dad, you went to Tongzhou to serve as governor, why are you taking me with you? I don't want to go to Tongzhou, a remote and remote place where the prosperity of Chang'an City is nowhere to be found. I won't go..."
Snapped.
Gao Shilian raised his hand and gave Gao Xingcheng a slap in the face.
Gao Jinxing looked confused: "Dad, why did you hit me? It was Du He who sent you to Tongzhou to serve as governor, not me!"
Gao Shilian was almost angry to death: "You are a traitor, you are a traitor... If you were half as smart as Du He, I would die in peace. Do you know that I am saving your life by asking you to follow me to Tongzhou!"
"
Gao Jixiu still looked confused.
Gao Shilian explained: "Do you know that Du He is now the magistrate of Wannian County? If you continue to stay in Chang'an City, with your debauched character, you might fall into his hands at any time.
, if you fall into his hands, do you think your end will be much better than that of Mr. Lan?"
Gao Xingyi immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to speak any more.
He and Mr. Lan had met several times and had drinks together. Lan Mingyu was considered the number one figure in Chang'an, a well-known spice merchant, and Lan Lian was killed without being told by Du He.
The carriage started from the back gate of Xu Guogong's mansion and went straight to the east city gate.
The heavy rain is getting heavier.
…
Wannian County Government Office.
Lu Bu walked in expressionlessly and said, "Young Master, Gao Shilian has left Chang'an and has taken Gao Xinghao with him."
Hearing this, Du He smiled and said: "Sure enough, Gao Shilian can be regarded as a thousand-year-old fox. He probably guessed that after I became the magistrate of Wannian County, I would definitely take action against Gao Shicheng, so he brought
We rushed to Tongzhou together with Gao Jixi just to avoid the limelight!"
Gao Xingcheng was the same age as Du He, but he was a workhorse of the nobility, and his body had long been emptied by wine, sex, and wealth.
As long as he stays in Chang'an, Du He has a hundred ways to kill him.
Unexpectedly, Gao Shilian seemed to have noticed something and actually took him away.
Du He felt a little regretful, but didn't say anything.
This time, he was deprived of the title of Duke of Hu State and reduced to a minor ninth-grade county lieutenant. It was all the fault of Gao Shilian. Now, his great revenge can be regarded as avenged.
Although Gao Shilian was not demoted, once he went to Tongzhou, he would not have much influence on the situation between North Korea and China in the short term.
Du He has nothing to worry about.
At this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded outside the yard.
"Is Mr. Du here?"
"It's already past noon, isn't Mr. Du still sleeping?"
When Du He heard this voice, he suddenly became happy.
He walked quickly to the door and looked up, only to see Yuchi Gong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, striding into the yard.
It was raining heavily in the sky, but Yu Chigong did not hold an umbrella and allowed the heavy rain to water him.
Behind him were two burly men, both of whom were carrying a sack. The sack was wet from the rain and dripping with blood.
That's right, it was blood, bright red blood, and the threshold of the courtyard was dripping red.
Du He didn't have time to greet Yuchi Gong, so he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Yuchi, what are you doing?"
Could it be that Uncle Yuchi heard about the grudge between me and Gao Shilian and killed Gao Shilian who had just left the city?
With Yu Chigong’s violent temper, it’s not impossible!
Yuchi Gong laughed and asked the two men to put down the sacks, throw them to the ground, and open them.
Yu Chigong introduced: "This is a calf that I personally slaughtered when I first entered the city. The meat is delicious. I came here to thank you!"
Du He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not Gao Shilian. For ordinary people, killing cows was a serious crime, but Yuchi Gong had suddenly transformed and was already the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. For him, killing cows was a piece of cake. "Uncle Yuchi
Just kidding, I have something to thank you for."
Yu Chigong said happily: "You are still pretending to be confused, are you? This time, if you hadn't taken action, how could that old guy Gao Shilian be demoted to the governor of Tongzhou? If he didn't go to Tongzhou, what would I do?"
Being able to return to Chang'an... I have been away from Chang'an for too many years, and I have always dreamed of coming back. For this reason, I often went to His Majesty to plead for mercy, but Your Majesty just refused to agree. I never thought that as soon as you took action, you would get Gao Shilian.
I went to Tongzhou and returned to the court smoothly, how could I not thank you..."
Du He's eyes widened and he said solemnly: "Uncle Yuchi, please don't talk nonsense. The reason why Mr. Gao was demoted to Tongzhou was because he allowed Gao Yuanzhi to do evil. He is actually to blame for himself and has nothing to do with me."
