All rivers and mountains are safe

Yu Gaoyi had recruited him before, and the reason why Lu Ciheng asked this question in class today was to let Yu Gaoyi personally identify Wang Xingyan.

But he didn't expect that Yu Gaoyi would dare to change his words temporarily in the Dali Temple court.

His expression was dark and complicated, and he couldn't see through this Wang Xingyan for a moment.

When Wang Xingyan heard Yu Gaoyi's accusation, he immediately retorted, "My lord, you don't want to admit it, you dirty Wang. You said I want you to suppress this matter, but I just bought someone, and I only spent a few hundred taels to buy someone." Why do you spend more than 1000 taels and take such a big risk to bribe the court officials? "

Yu Gaoyi never thought that he would be beaten up by him. He had been suppressed by Wang Xingyan before, and he was charged with unwarranted charges. Splashing dirty water?! You have found so many people to raise in the mansion, isn't this Fang Zhishu the most suitable for you!"

Lu Ciheng said sharply: "What do you mean?!"

The next moment, Wang Xingyan's unhurried voice sounded, "Yes, Sir Yu, since you said such ambiguous words, why not make it clear, now that the emperor and Lu Yushi are here, I think the matter will definitely be brought up." At the beginning of the investigation, I found out everything, and returned Xiaomin's innocence."

Hearing his words, Yu Gaoyi's agitated emotions gradually faded away. His back felt cold and he couldn't help being afraid. Wang Xingyan carried countless lives on his back. Yu Gaoyi more or less participated in what he committed. Yu Gaoyi didn't dare to shake it all out.

The case was clearly presided over by Wei Boran, but Wang Xingyan only mentioned Lu Yushi. The Procuratorate only supervises and does not participate in the trial. Besides, Lu Yushi has never spoken out from the beginning to the end. How did Wang Xingyan know about Yushi? Surname Lu.

Lu Ciheng's eyes darkened, and his gaze swept over Lu Yushi, only to find that the aged Yushi had misaligned his eyes, avoiding his gaze, as if he was a little guilty.

Lu Ciheng didn't have time to study it carefully, staring at Yu Gaoyi and said: "What do you mean by what you just said, tell me clearly!"

But I don't know which word in Wang Xingyan's words stimulated Yu Gaoyi, he lowered his head, no matter how Lu Ciheng asked, he refused to say anything.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Ciheng glanced at the jailer at the side, and said in a deep voice, "Go and bring Fang Zhishu up."

Fang Zhishu came up with Fang's father. Fang's father was in his thirties. During this time, because of Fang Zhishu's abduction, his hair was already half white. He was wearing an elegant long gown. Yipao bowed to several adults, and his words and deeds were very polite.

He also patiently told Fang Zhishu to let the child kneel down together.

Fang Zhishu was well-behaved and obedient, knelt down quietly, the courtroom was serious, the officials were all holding court sticks, the atmosphere was dull and depressing, ordinary children often cry when they see this posture.

But Fang Zhishu looked at the person above with a pair of black and white eyes, although he didn't speak, there was no fear in his eyes.

Looking into Fang Zhishu's eyes, Lu Ciheng was stunned for a moment, and an inappropriate thought suddenly popped up in his mind - he felt that Fang Zhishu was a bit like Shen Ming'an.

Fang Zhishu looks fair and clean, not fully grown, taller than his peers, but thinner, his facial features are different from Shen Mingan, he and Shen Mingan are not similar in appearance, but similar in spirit.

Shen Ming'an has a cold temper. Lu Ciheng had never seen him when he was young, but he felt that he probably also had such a cute appearance with transparent eyes.

In fact, Lu Ciheng couldn't say exactly what it looked like, but he just had such a feeling somehow.

Thinking of Yu Gaoyi's words just now, Lu Ciheng's face darkened, his expression difficult to discern.

Ever since Fang Zhishu knelt down, Mammy Qiao kept her eyes on him, grabbed Zhishu's arm with her old and cracked hands, and called softly, "Young master."

Fang Zhishu heard it, he turned his head, but his pupils shrank suddenly when he saw Wang Xingyan, he pushed away the hand that was tightly grasped on his arm, moved to the direction where Fang's father was, and gestured towards Fang's father a few times , kept looking at the door, Fang's father comforted him with a gentle voice, but unexpectedly the opposite happened, Fang Zhishu couldn't speak, but his emotions became more and more agitated, he struggled to get up and wanted to run to the door, but was dragged back by Fang's father.

Fang Zhishu could only kneel on the spot, looking down at the bricks on the ground.

Mammy Qiao couldn't hide her disappointment, she murmured remorsefully and guiltily, "It's Mammy's fault, Mammy is sorry for you..."

The Fang family has always treated her well. This time, she was kicked out of the house because she stole the money from the Fang family. Fang's father can't tolerate sand in his eyes. What's more, as a private school teacher, what he values ​​most is character. Mama has been a slave in the mansion for decades, but even if she begged hard, Fang's father could not change his mind.

Even if she made a mistake first, Fang's father gave her a sum of money before driving her out of the mansion. If the money was saved, it would be enough to support her in retirement.

But Mother Qiao stole the money because her husband was seriously ill and lost his monthly salary after he was kicked out of Fang's mansion. Seeing a doctor and getting medicine is a bottomless pit. She has already filled in her savings over the years. The money given to her was simply not enough.

She was very worried, and Fang Zhishu came to see her when she was packing the clothes in the room. The young man didn't know what mistake she had made and why she was kicked out of the mansion. He just didn't want to let the nanny who had been with him for so many years go away. .

When Fang Zhishu was a child, he became dumb due to a high fever and could not speak, but from his clear eyes, Mammy Qiao could also see that Fang Zhishu was reluctant to let her go.

She watched Fang Zhishu grow up, and she has always trusted and relied on her. She felt resentful in her heart, and suddenly became obsessed with ghosts, and asked Fang Zhishu if she wanted to go to the market with her.

Because Fang Zhishu was dumb, Fang's father had always watched him very strictly, and he was rarely let out. He was naturally happy when Mother Qiao asked him this.

Mother Qiao was in urgent need of money. After taking Fang Zhishu out of the house, she went further and further away. She contacted the highest bidder and sold Fang Zhishu for 500 taels of silver.

The buyer claimed to be the housekeeper of a rich family. Mother Qiao didn't know how Fang Zhishu fell into the hands of the old bustard, and was later bought by this Wang Xingyan.

But she regretted it almost the moment she got the money. Fang Zhishu was tricked out of the house by her. When she left Fang Zhishu with the housekeeper, Fang Zhishu still trusted her wholeheartedly, but if Repenting at this time is throwing yourself into a trap.

She dare not.

Mother Qiao became cruel, took the money and left.

Every moment after that, she was in regret and suffering all the time.

Fang Zhishu has always been sensible, well-behaved, and very obedient. He doesn't know what happened to him. Since he was kidnapped and found, his temperament has changed drastically.

Seeing his terrified look, Mother Qiao felt distressed and regretful, wishing she could slap herself a few times, she took a few steps forward on her knees, bent down deeply, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the woman wants to sue the government. "

Now that she is in court, Mother Qiao still said that she would sue the officials, Lu Ciheng frowned, "Say it."

"The women want to sue Yu Gaoyi, the magistrate of Linjiang County. He confuses black and white, and as a parent official, he does nothing."

"The woman voluntarily surrendered to the crime, but Master Yu suppressed the case and threatened the woman not to reveal any clues related to this matter. That's why I didn't find the young master until now. Please My lord is aware."

When she found out that Fang's father was looking for Fang Zhishu, Mother Qiao became frightened. She went to the housekeeper who originally bought the buyer and wanted to redeem Fang Zhishu, but the housekeeper said that Fang Zhishu had already been sold. The more frightened she thought about it, the more regretful she was, so she went directly to the government to voluntarily surrender, handed in the 500 taels she had earned, and told Yu Gaoyi everything she knew, wanting to ask the government to find someone.

Yu Gaoyi took the money, but did not find anyone. After a few days, Mother Qiao was well at home, when suddenly some officers and soldiers came and arrested her into the government.

She asked in the prison if she had found Fang Zhishu, but no one answered her.

She is indeed guilty, but she has been locked in prison, and no one came to interrogate her. Only Yu Gaoyi asked her over and over again, besides her, who else knew about Fang Zhishu's abduction? The people that Mother Qiao confessed to were locked up next to her.

The next day, they were taken out in chains and never returned.

Mother Qiao realized that Yu Gaoyi wanted to keep her mouth shut, and she was afraid that she would be the next one, but that night, she was taken to Dali Temple.

It was only when she was interrogated with Yu Gaoyi that she realized that Yu Gaoyi had always suppressed this matter.

After listening to Mother Qiao's narration, Fang's father knew the whole story. Thinking of his child's current appearance, he hated and felt guilty. He pointed at Yu Gaoyi who was kneeling next to him, and said in a furious voice, "Little book got lost. In the future, I will report to you, why don't you investigate, Yu Gaoyi, you are in vain as a parent officer!"

Fang's father is a scholar who abides by propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and when he is extremely angry, he just points at Yu Gaoyi and scolds him for being unworthy of virtue.

The gavel collided with the table, and Wei Boran's voice became stern when he heard it, "Yu Gaoyi, do you recognize it? Did Wang Xingyan instigate you to do this?"

Yu Gaoyi said nothing, neither admitting nor defending himself.

Fang's father saw how stubborn he was, and when he thought that such a person was a magistrate of a county, he became even more angry and disappointed, and said indiscriminately: "A few days ago, there was a fire in my house, and the fire came clearly. What's more, the neighbor told me the next day that he had seen someone sneaking around the gate of Fangfu that night. He looked like a soldier, but I was beating drums outside the yamen to complain, but you called The yamen servant dragged me away. Why did the fire suddenly break out, why did there be Rong people, could it be that they were all ordered by you, in order to suppress this matter, you still want to kill people to silence it?!"

It seems that the identification of Wang Xingyan just now was a dying struggle under emotional control. At this time, Yu Gaoyi still kept silent, but his dereliction of duty, abuse of power, corruption and bribery, these are already certain facts.
