Yuchi Baolin looked at Du He's leaving figure and scratched her head: "Is Du He treating me... too kind..."
As he spoke, he showed a shy smile.
Snowing.
It's snowing again.
Yuchi Baolin looked up.
I saw universities all over the sky flying like goose feathers.
…
The next day, news came from Tongzhou.
Zhang Jian personally went to Banshan College to report to Du He.
"Master, our people just brought back the news. Now everything in Tongzhou is in chaos. The governor's office in Tongzhou was smashed to pieces by the people. Many people in the city participated. The whole city is scolding Yuchi Baolin...
…What’s even more terrifying is that the officials in the same state are actually working together with the Dou family. They don’t care about this matter and even secretly communicate with the Dou family…” Zhang Jian was stunned as he spoke.
Tongzhou is the eastern gateway to Chang'an and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Li Er demoted Wei Chigong to Tongzhou, which actually meant that Yuchigong would be in charge of Tongzhou.
But who knew that Yuchigong was a skilled archer and horseman, but his management of the place was a mess. He had not really integrated into the local area for several years, otherwise such funny things would not have happened.
Du He tapped the table with his fingers and said: "This matter... is troublesome... I don't think brother Yuchi will lie to me. The truth is that Mr. Dou raped the women first, and brother Yuchi only went to save people. Dou
Gongde's death was just an accident...but Tongzhou was already ruled by the Dou family. If the people unanimously believed that brother Yuchi had killed the person, and the Dou family also had an heir serving as an official in the court, this would
The thing... I'm afraid that if His Majesty comes forward, Brother Yuchi will not be able to escape the death penalty, and he might even lose his head... I can no longer sit idly by and call Uncle Yuchi and Brother Yuchi."
Of course Duhe could just sit back and watch.
He could also send Yuchi Gong and his son away overnight.
This matter has nothing to do with me.
But he wanted to see if he could help, even as a way to repay Yu Chigong's favor at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival.
"You should give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with me!"
Du He knew that he was not the savior.
Not long after, Zhang Jian brought Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin to the dean's courtyard.
There were footsteps outside.
Then I heard Yuchi Gong's thick voice.
"Oh, son, look at this courtyard. It's even grander than our Duke Xu's mansion. It must be comfortable to live in... And look at this big lantern, it's so bright..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baolin walking in.
Yuchi Gong stepped into the threshold with one foot, looked at Du He, and said happily: "Oh, nephew, you are so polite. I just ate hot pot and mutton this evening, and now I want to eat it again... Don't say, this
My stomach is really hungry..."
Du He: "..."
Yuchi Gong walked in and saw neither the iron stove nor the hot pot. He wondered: "Hey, we promised to come for dinner..."
Du He was speechless.
I saw Yu Chigong pulling out his chair and sitting down with a smile.
He signaled Zhang Jian to close the door, and then said: "Uncle Yuchi... I have already asked Brother Yuchi about this matter. I asked someone to inquire about the information. The situation seems to be very unfavorable!"
Yuchi Gong suddenly became serious.
"Are you talking about Tongzhou's affairs? I know very well... I know the situation in Tongzhou better than you... But what can I do? The Dou family has stood firm in Tongzhou for hundreds of years. When His Majesty sent me there
Tongzhou, specifically asked to make some changes in Tongzhou, especially to get rid of the Dou family. Who knows, the Dou family is not so easy to deal with. Behind the Dou family, there is the support of the Boling Cui family...
It left me helpless... Now, I have no choice but to go to the palace to plead guilty to His Majesty..." Yuchi Gong sighed helplessly and shook his head.
When Du He saw this, he thought to himself, fortunately, Lao Hei was not just waiting for death, but had been paying attention to the trends in Tongzhou.
Yuchi Gong said: "My biggest wish now is to save Paulin's life. As for the position of governor of Tongzhou, I no longer intend to take it. I have failed your majesty's expectations!"
As he said this, this guy sighed, not looking like the all-powerful man he once was.
Yuchi Baolin leaned into Du He's ear and whispered: "My father was demoted to Tongzhou. After leaving Chang'an, he became depressed and rarely engaged in political affairs. Most of the time, he drank to relieve his sorrows or went hunting in the mountains.
I thought I would die in Tongzhou all my life. When I killed Dou Gongde and I hurried back home, my father was drunk..."
Du He: "..."
I bet this guy is not going to Tongzhou to be an official, but to live in Tongzhou for retirement.
He was drunk, no wonder he would run away like this.
Snapped.
Du He slapped the table and said: "Uncle Yuchi, now is not the time to sigh. Now, if we want to save brother Yuchi, we must first bring that woman to Chang'an. People in the same state all know that brother Yuchi killed someone intentionally, and only the one named Xiu
My daughter can prove Brother Yuchi’s innocence!”
"That's right!" Yu Chigong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly sat up straight, "My dear nephew, you are so right. Why didn't I think of it at the beginning? I thought it would be inconvenient to bring a girl with me."
"Where is Yuan Xiu now?"
"It's well hidden in a village near Fengyi County," Yuchi Baolin said.
Du He made a decision immediately: "Without further delay, send someone to bring Yuan Xiu back quickly. Uncle Yuchi, if you can trust me, let my people come with you."
"Then what is so trustworthy? I will write a letter right now and ask your people to go to Dujia Village in Wannian County to meet up with my people and go to Tongzhou overnight!" After Yuchi Gong finished speaking, he immediately asked Du He to prepare.
Paper and pen, a revised letter, and handed over to Zhang Jian.
Du He ordered: "Zecheng, Tongzhou is the territory of the Dou family. It's better to trouble the ghosts and gods and make a trip to this matter."
"That's fine!"
Zhang Jian nodded.
Not much time.
Xu Zhengdao and Guishen personally led the six masters of Venomous Fang, put on makeup, rode fast horses, and left the Dream Group. The two went straight to Dujiacun, south of Chang'an City, and contacted the contact person according to the address provided by Yuchi Gong. Everyone quickly
Go to Tongzhou.
…
Two days later.
Xu Zhengdao, Guishen and others rushed back to Dream Group after a long journey.
Several people quickly rushed to the dean's courtyard.
Xu Zhengdao said the first thing he said when they met: "It's a big deal. Yuan Xiu has disappeared."
Du He was stunned.
But I heard Yuchi Baolin next to me suddenly shouting in pain: "Xiu'er...my Xiu'er..."
Plop.
He actually started crying.
Only halfway through crying, Yuchi Baolin was kicked to the ground by Yuchi Gong.
"You worthless thing, what's the use of crying? Why don't you wipe your tears quickly? How can a man shed tears for a woman..." Yuchi Gong said with hatred.
