The next day.
Early in the morning, more than a dozen government officials took the escaped colleague Shen Jizhi and his family to the government office.
The pedestrians in Anfu City stood on both sides of the street and watched, and they dared to talk a few times.
"who is this?"
"Don't you know? This is our colleague Shen Jizhi."
"Why was this taken into custody?"
"I heard that the censor of Zuodu in the capital is here to investigate the case. No, he is being detained now."
"Then...is this official a good official or...?"
"Don't you understand? This is a good official. If he wasn't a good official, could Shen Tongzhi be imprisoned?"
Seeing such a scene, these common people dared to speak a few words. A few days ago, walking on this street rarely saw people talking about anything, even talking about their own affairs. We have to lower our voices to talk about family matters or just don’t dare to talk.
It can be seen that the face of Comrade Shen Jizhi, who is being escorted by the government officials, is full of regret at this moment, but there is no medicine for regret in this world.
At this time, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was already waiting for news in the government office.
Those officials who are involved in this case are always restless when doing things, while those officials who are not involved in this case are busy as usual.
Before any news could be heard, several officials arrived at Magistrate Cen's office.
And Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, is in this room. The person sitting behind this table is not the prefect Cen Yongchang, but Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu. And the prefect Cen is standing aside, looking very nervous on his face. .
"Guo Yushi, you have been in An Mansion for a few days. This is a gift prepared by my subordinate. Please accept it." An official carefully placed the gift on the table.
Looking at this square wooden box, I couldn't see what was inside.
The curious Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, reached forward and opened the square box without saying a word. He saw that there was a bracelet inside.
The appearance of this bracelet is very gorgeous. It is inlaid with emerald green. With a slight stroke of your finger, you can feel the smoothness of the bracelet's appearance and the temperament exuded by this bracelet.
With such a bracelet, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, really wanted to take the silver back and give it as gifts to several ladies at home, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
After reading it, Guo Yushi put the bracelet back into the wooden box and moved it to the side of the table.
Seeing that Yushi Guo didn't say a word and didn't refuse even if he looked at him, several other officials offered their gifts one after another.
This gift is also of various kinds.
The second gift Guo Yushi took over was also a wooden box, but this wooden box was not just an ordinary wooden box.

You can tell from the wood that it is made of fine rosewood. When you put your nose up to smell it, you can smell a light woody fragrance.
Looking at this box, regardless of the items placed in it, I feel that this gift is expensive.
As soon as the box was opened, I saw a shining golden hairpin inside. Just looking at the surface, I felt it was very precious. Looking closer, I saw that the tail of the hairpin was polished very smooth, and the head was made of blossoms. Plum blossoms, and their appearance is very similar to real plum blossoms.
After reading this, Guo Yushi put it back into the box, moved to the side of the table, and continued to look down without saying a word.
The butler Yin Xing on the side looked at these several expensive jewelry items, imagining that it would be great if these were given to him. In this way, he could exchange them for silver, and he could go to the Zuiweng Restaurant every day.
Just as Censor Guo was looking at these gifts one by one and before he could say a word, there was a sound from outside.
"Report!"
"Guo Yushi, the escaped colleague Shen Jizhi has been caught!" a yamen officer reported back.
Hearing these words, the standing officials who had just bribed Guo Yushi began to feel nervous.
"Where's the one named Li Da?" Guo Yushi asked.
"Go back to Guo Yushi. When the boys were looking for it, they found that their carriage fell off the cliff." The Yamen servant returned.
Guo Yushi: "No one is alive?"
"Return to Guo Yushi, no." The Yamen servant replied.
After hearing this, the officials present felt a little pity for Tongju Li Da's death, but thinking about what they had done, they also felt that Tongjuan Li Da's death was a relief.
"In this case, take them all back to prison, and I will investigate again later."
"yes."
Looking at the gifts piled up in front of him, Guo Yushi continued to look down.
Seeing how much Guo Yushi liked these things, these officials really wanted Guo Yushi to be accommodating and not to do too much.
After reading these gifts, Guo Yushi stood up, looked at the butler Yin Xing beside him, and said: "These gifts are for you."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper Yin Xing seemed to be in a dream, with a smile on his face and he couldn't believe it: "Really? Master."
Guo Yushi nodded: "These gifts are given to you, why don't you accept them? These things are so valuable, they are enough for you to go to the Drunkard Inn for a long time."
After listening to this, the housekeeper Yin Xing thought that there was something wrong with the master, but when he heard it later, he seemed to understand the master's intention.
Since these gifts belong to him, you are welcome. After thinking about it, Yin Xing responded: "Thank you, sir."
Seeing Guo Yushi giving all these gifts to his stewards, these officials did not dare to say a few words for fear of not being accommodating to themselves.
"Let's go and have a look." Guo
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The censor said something and walked forward.
Butler Yin Xing followed closely, and these officials also went to have a look.
Along the way, Guo Yushi walked towards the cell.
Knowing that this was a high-ranking official, the jailer and jailers in the cell did not maintain their seriousness and looked at the Zuodu Yushi with gentle faces. call.
"Where is Shen Jizhi being imprisoned?" Guo Yushi asked.
"It's the cell over there. Guo Yushi is coming with the younger one." The cell leader led Guo Yushi the way.
Magistrate Cen and several officials followed Yu Shi Guo fearfully and headed towards the cell.
As soon as they got closer, they saw Shen Jizhi's family being locked up in this cell. The oldest was in his sixties, and the youngest was in his late teens.
Seeing that it was the Yushi of Zuodu, he knew that Shen Jizhi didn't care what Yushi Guo asked, so he kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Yushi Guo, I know I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong. Please tell me." Mercy, please let us go. We are just trying to earn a living. If you let me go, I won’t be able to serve as an official anymore. Please, let me go, let me go.”
Seeing Shen Tongzhi's appearance, the officials standing behind Magistrate Cen were all nervous, and some of them looked a little pale.
Not only was Tongzhi Shen Jizhi the one who begged for mercy, almost all his family members begged for mercy, and even the young and ignorant children were forced to intercede for Guo Yushi.
"My lord, he has realized his mistake, let him go. The woman promises you that she will not let him make mistakes in the future. Please let us and our family go," Shen Jizhi's wife pleaded.
"Master, please let us go," one of Shen Jizhi's children said.
Seeing this, Guo Kang didn't want to be like this, but this was a case, and Guo Kang didn't show any mercy.
"Shen Jizhi, on behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I would like to ask you whether this ban on maritime affairs for profit is true or false?" Guo Kang asked.
Shen Jizhi nodded: "True, true. I know I was wrong."
"Who planned this?" Guo Kang asked again.
Shen Jizhi's body had already begun to tremble: "Yes...yes...it's the lower official."
Seeing that fellow aide Shen Jizhi spoke truthfully, the officials standing behind Guo Kang, including Magistrate Cen, were extremely nervous.
"Are you sure you planned it all by yourself?" Guo Yushi asked.
After hearing this, Shen Jizhi raised his head in fear and looked forward. What he saw was not Guo Yushi or Guo Yushi's housekeeper, but Magistrate Cen.
Seeing this look, Guo Yushi turned his head slightly and looked in the direction Shen Jizhi was looking at. This time, he saw that it was Magistrate Cen.
Seeing the two men's eyes directed at him, Magistrate Cen was frightened, with a nervous expression on his face and a few beads of sweat on his forehead: "Guo Yushi, this... this... this isn't it. The official planned it. The official did not plan this."
