This Gu Junci recorded the people's crimes against the prefect of Fuling, while worrying about the situation in the back hall.

Finally, the two brothers came out from the back hall after many people had finished their complaints. Xiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to appease the people who came to complain, saying that he would give everyone an answer in the afternoon.

Even the magistrates in the main hall were arranged by Xiao Yuan to go into the back hall to have a rest.

Gu Junci handed the written indictment to Xiao Yuan: "Although what happened among the common people is not serious, it is enough to destroy a family's livelihood. In addition to the previous audit, public funds were embezzled for private use, and what's more. Using power for personal gain, there are not a few lawsuits involving human life."

Xiao Yuan took over the charge: "If the prefect of Fuling is not eliminated, I fear that the people will be angry. What's more, we all know that we have tried the prefect of Fuling today. If we let him go lightly, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Xiao Yan said: "Don't forget, it's not up to you to decide what is going on right now. No matter how serious the Fuling prefect's crime is, he has to take it back to Lanling and hand it over to his father to deal with it. Only then is it in line with laws and regulations. You didn't agree with the siege of the city last night. I'll discuss it, and I'll forgive you, but you have to listen to me about today's matter, and you can't execute Fuling prefect without permission!"

Xiao Yuan turned his head sideways and said: "Brother, if you are a citizen of Fuling, someone will avenge your grievances, but don't punish the perpetrators, what do you think?"

"I'm not a citizen of Fuling, and I don't need to think about what they think. I only know that no one has the right to dispose of Fuling prefect arbitrarily except my father, and neither can you!" Xiao Yan insisted.

Xiao Yuan stared into his eyes with a cold expression: "Brother means that he disagrees."

"Yes." Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Yuan chuckled lightly: "Big Brother, you can pass on an order so that the entire army must not obey my orders. As long as there is one person who obeys your orders, I will let him go."

Xiao Yan glared at Xiao Yuan angrily, unable to hold back a word for a while, before saying: "Xiao Yuan, don't go too far!"

"At this moment, for the sake of the people of Fuling, the prefect must be killed. I will explain it to my father, and I don't need to worry about it!" Xiao Yuan looked resolute, and even Gu Junci began to admire his courage. .

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan said: "Don't think that I don't know what you said to your father! What you planned is to bring the family to suffer, but you don't know how to repent at all. Father's pampering you is not for you to make progress!"

Xiao Yuan was about to leave, but was forced by Xiao Yan's words to turn around, and looked at him straight in the eye: "Brother, if you are afraid that something will happen to Dongchuang and hurt yourself, you might as well take the prefect of Fuling to Jinling to see His Majesty at this moment, I would rather Let's see, big brother, can you get out of the Fuling government office!"

"you!"

Xiao Yuan said: "Brother is right, I planned this matter, and my father allowed it, but what I planned was definitely not for my own sake. If you feel that I have selfish intentions, please do it. But the matter of Fuling, I will never back down, Governor of Fuling, I will kill you."

After Xiao Yuan ruthlessly dropped this sentence, he and Gu Junci walked back to the back office holding the case files.

Holding a stack of account books, Gu Junci secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan's arrogant expression, and couldn't help saying: "I said, Xiao Yuan, is what your brother said true?"

Xiao Yuan stopped and looked at him: "What did you say?"

"It's a matter of planning something." Gu Junci did not shy away from it.

Xiao Yuan thought for a while: "My father also had the same idea, but it's hard to say it clearly, I just pierced that layer of paper."

Gu Junci: "Then aren't you very dangerous?"

Xiao Yuan: "I know, just as I promised my father at the beginning, everything will be fine if this matter succeeds, and if this matter fails, I will bear all the responsibilities alone."

Gu Junci couldn't bear it: "How can I do that?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, with a smile on his lips, he said seriously: "I have you, what are you afraid of, you will not let what I planned fail."

Being mentioned by Xiao Yuan, Gu Junci's heart beat a little faster, he couldn't help being embarrassed, and immediately walked towards the backyard with the stack of account books in his arms.

Xiao Yuan followed behind him, changing the previous tense relationship with Xiao Yan, he just chased Gu Junci and asked: "Brother Gu, Brother Gu, am I right? Are you not going to let me fail, Brother Gu?" , Brother Gu."

Gu Junci left without reason, making the smile on Xiao Yuan's face brighter and brighter.

Not long after noon, many people gathered again in front of the Yamen of Fuling Mansion asked how to deal with the Fuling prefect.

The common people had expectations and disappointments, but more people chose to believe, and gathered outside the government office, shouting for the execution of the Fuling prefect.

Naturally, Xiao Yuan did not disappoint them. After Xiao Yan tried his best to obstruct him, he still asked Huo Situ to escort the prefect of Fuling out of the government office, and he did not go to Caishikou. The prefect of Fuling even issued a notice.

Officials in Fuling and the counties under its jurisdiction, those who are willing to be loyal to Lanling Xiao's, will be retained, and those who are not willing will distribute money and go home, and they will not embarrass them.

The prefect of Fuling has exploited the people's property over the years, except for filling the treasury with silver, the rest will be returned to the people in full.

For this reason, the people of Fuling were also loudly praised by the Lanling Xiao clan, and they all wanted to follow the Lanling Xiao clan.

After finishing dealing with the Fuling matter, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan immediately withdrew to Lanling, back and forth, only ten days, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xiao Boxu also took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the mansion to clean up the dust for them, and called Gu Junci, Huo Situ, and Yang Junfang along the way.

Gu Junci, who changed into clean clothes after washing, wore the hair crown Xiao Yuan gave him as a hairpin, and was dressed in maroon clothes, which made him look colder and nobler.

However, when Gu Junci arrived in front of the Duke's mansion, he happened to bump into Huo Yang and the two of them. They seemed to be waiting for him. Lead the horse and fall.

Gu Junci didn't understand, so he said, "What are you doing?"

Yang Junfang said: "There are so many rules in this Duke's mansion, you teach us some, don't make a fool of yourself in a while."

Huo Situ also said: "We just inquired about it and said that the Langya Wang family has also come. You also know that this Langya Wang family passed down poems and books, and all of them are talented. We are all members of the army. You won't be looked down upon by them."

Gu Junci was stunned for a moment: "The Wang family of Langya has also come, who is it?"

"It seems to be the son of the Langya Wang family, named Wang Funian, and his brother, and a girl, I don't know who it is, but I always think it looks pretty." Huo Situ hurriedly said.

Gu Junci carefully recalled the time when he was in the Langya Wang family. The girl who came with them today is probably the girl from the side branch of the Wang family who attended the school with the princess and Xiao Shunhua, Wang Sihe. .

Gu Junci smiled and said: "Oh, that's it, then you don't have to worry about it, this Wang family's son is not bad, he is good at making friends, you don't have to worry about it."

Only then did Huo Yang feel relieved, but because they dawdled for a while, they didn't want to run into Xiao Yuan who came to meet him just as they stepped up the steps.

He was dressed in an ivory brocade robe embroidered with silver thread, with a sachet and jade pendant adorning his belt, and a jade crown to tie his hair, making him even more handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor.

"Why did you come here?" Xiao Yuan said.

Gu Junci made a joke: "The two of them dare not enter when they see a girl in your house."

Xiao Yuan looked at them inquiringly, and then said: "Ladies from the Langya Wang family, it's okay, the female relatives will be received by my mother, you won't be able to see them."

Only then did Huo Yang feel relieved and entered the mansion together with Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan said: "Cousin Fu Nian is also here, this time I will drop by to check the guest list and gift list for the wedding banquet."

Gu Junci didn't care: "I don't care about him, tell me what he does."

"Why, brother Gu and this prince are not on good terms?" Yang Junfang asked curiously.

Gu Junci said with a smile: "There is some misunderstanding, it's okay."

Looking at Gu Junci, Xiao Yuan and Huo Yang seriously said: "You are guests in my house, and my father invited you by name, so naturally you don't have to wrong yourself for others, understand?"

Gu Junci patted him on the shoulder and smiled easily: "I know, don't worry, I will not make things difficult for him."

Only then did Xiao Yuan feel relieved, and brought them into the mansion.

At the moment, sitting in the main hall of the Duke's Mansion are the brothers Wang Funian, Xiao Yan and Xiao Jue, and Xiao Boxu is sitting on the main seat. They are talking and laughing at this moment, as if they are discussing Wang Funian and Xiao Shunhua wedding matters.

Seeing Xiao Yuan and the others approaching, his smile faded away, and after they met Xiao Boxu one by one, Wang Funian said:

"Young Master Gu is becoming more and more energetic. It's unusual for him to restore his status as the Thirteenth Taibao. People feel refreshed when they celebrate happy events."

Gu Junci also clasped his hands in a salute: "When it comes to happy events, it is natural to congratulate Brother Wang. The wedding of Brother Wang and Miss Xiao's family is coming soon, and it is really gratifying to congratulate. There are two things to be proud of in life." , When the gold list is named, the bridal chamber is festive night, so I congratulate Brother Wang on his wedding in advance."

Naturally, Wang Funian stood up and returned the salute, but the fake smile on his face really made Gu Junci unaccustomed.

Seeing that everyone was here, Xiao Yan stood up and said, "Father, my son has something that has been on his mind for a long time, and he wants to express it quickly."

Seeing Xiao Yan's suddenly serious expression, Xiao Boxu couldn't help but stroked his beard and said, "What do you want to say?"

"This trip to Fuling, Xiao Yuan acted arbitrarily and did not pay attention to his father at all. His father was an official of the court, and even Xiao Yuan's father, but he was lucky enough to disregard his father's orders. It really made people doubt him. hard work."

Xiao Yan stood up, accusing Xiao Yuan of all kinds with a solemn expression.

Hearing that Xiao Boxu's expression became more serious, he looked up at Xiao Yuan and said, "Erlang, is it as your elder brother said?"

Gu Jun resigned: "My lord, this matter is by no means what the eldest son said. The situation in Fuling is complicated, and there is no room for further delay."

Xiao Yuan said: "Brother Gu, let me tell my father myself."

Gu Junci looked at him worriedly, but seeing him smile softly, he felt a lot more at ease.

Xiao Yuan solemnly bowed to Xiao Boxu and said: "Father, you often say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Erlang will never forget it for a moment. Father, you haven't seen the situation in Fuling. The prefect of Fuling has done a lot of evil. The common people The crowd was excited, and when he killed him, the common people knelt down and shouted that Liang Guogong was benevolent and righteous. He forced the common people to this point, and the common people cheered for his death. How can I feel at ease, how can I sincerely submit to my Lanling?"
