Dressed as the sister of the runaway heroine

Chapter 103 National Thief
Gu Heng followed Shen Qiu to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

It's quite helpless to say it, but at a young age, Gu Heng has already been to the three major prisons of Yingtian Mansion, Jinyiwei Chao Prison, and Xingbu Tian Prison.

The Ministry of Punishment detains some serious murderers, each with fierce eyes.

Seeing the woman coming in, his eyes were like a hungry wolf seeing its prey. A big-hearted person like Gu Heng exchanged glances with one of the felons, and took a step back in fright.

Seeing Shen Qiu who was following Gu Heng pull out his embroidered spring knife and look at the man coldly, the felon was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Gu Heng's heart skipped a beat, Shen Qiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, little county magistrate, the subordinates will protect you."

Gu Heng followed Shen Qiu to the depths of the prison.

I saw Chihu sitting cross-legged on the ground, his beard had grown all over his face, his head was lowered, and there were wine and vegetables beside him, but he was completely unmoved.

Shen Qiu asked someone to open the cell door, and Gu Heng walked in.

The red tiger raised its head suddenly, and glared fiercely at Gu Heng with copper bell-like eyes, as if it wanted to eat Gu Heng.

Gu Heng stood still and didn't dare to move. She said with a sneer, "Brother Chihu, I've always wanted to save you..."

Chihu snorted coldly.

"The person who caused your cottage has been put to death, His Royal Highness Duan thought that you still have the heart to repent, so he decided to give you a chance..."

At the end of Gu Heng's speech, his momentum became weaker and weaker.

The red tiger remained motionless, like a sculpture.

Gu Heng said tremblingly: "As long as you help the court eradicate Guoshanhong..."

Before Gu Heng finished speaking, Chihu punched the ground viciously with one fist.

The dust flew up in an instant, and Gu Heng only felt that he was blown by the strong wind, and his cheeks were scratched by the fine dust with a sharp tingling sensation.

Shen Qiu's Xiuchun Saber came out of its sheath instantly, Gu Heng hurriedly stopped Shen Qiu's movements.

Gu Heng walked up to Chihu, and she said, "I still remember the story you told in the Yingtian Mansion prison. There has never been anyone who voluntarily became a thief in the world. If the government forces the people to be thieves, what is the crime for the people? The first time I went to suppress bandits was to suppress bandits in name, but in fact it was to eliminate the official circles in Beizhili."

Shen Qiu looked at Gu Heng, but he didn't know that this little girl dared to say such a thing.

Chihu raised his head.

He said coldly: "What do you have to do with me?"

Gu Heng was not angry either.

"Why is this a matter for the official? This is about you and me. Even if you don't go, many people will go. There are corrupt officials in this world, but there are also good officials."

Chihu remained silent.

Gu Heng continued to persuade: "If everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, who will go to the mountain to be a thief, if no one is a thief, there will be no cottage. Brother Chihu doesn't understand such a truth?"

Chihu looked up at Gu Heng.

"You have been lying to me, how can I trust you."

Gu Heng has been being deceived all the time.

Gu Heng took a deep breath.

"At least this time, we won't lie to you, because we didn't do this for you, but for Dayin Jiangshan."

Chihu chuckled lightly, and he took a deep breath.

He said to Gu Heng: "My father has studied for several years, and he once said such things."

Gu Heng said, "Then you promised me?"

Chihu looked at Gu Heng, his eyes were full of sadness and desolation, he whispered: "Yes."

Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Qiu smiled and said: "Young county master is very eloquent, I will take you out first, it will take a while for little brother Chihu to be released from prison."

Gu Heng followed Shen Qiu out of the prison.

Shen Qiu said: "Little county lord, if you are a man, you must be a good official for the country and the people."

Gu Heng glared at this guy angrily.

"I've heard these words a hundred times. I would like to trouble Mr. Shen to speak to the emperor. I have something to tell him."

Shen Qiu nodded.

This guy sent Gu Heng back to the county lord's mansion, and left by himself.

Yang Youye was still drinking. During the days after he was released from prison, the food was much better, and his complexion was much better than before.

Gu Heng said to Yang Youye: "Master Yang, what do you think about the banditry in Beizhili?"

Yang Youye shook his fan and said, "It's a leftover problem. When the Qin Party reformed the tax system, it gave the officials below a good opportunity to make money. Ten years of tyrannical government, thousands of miles of fertile land were barren, and the people turned into thieves. hammer."

This Yang Youye stood up and walked to a flower.

"Don't you say that the northern Zhili is plagued by bandits, but it is as rich as the south of the Yangtze River. Back then, it was a decree to change rice into mulberry. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their land. Back then, the land was full of hunger. Now those people must still be rich and fat. There are also troops stationed in the Northwest, chieftains in the Southwest, and the court’s huge financial hidden dangers. The emperor is so young, and he has such a big burden on his back. Sometimes, I really have to feel sorry for him without conscience.”

Gu Heng finally understood a little bit. The biggest problem facing the dog emperor now is that the political problems of the previous dynasty have not been completely settled.

Weak imperial power reformers under the feudal monarchy.

As for her, she was a fairly handy pawn used by the emperor.

Gu Heng continued: "So I want to make a request to him this time, and I want to use the matter of suppressing bandits in Beizhili to do some practical things for the people there."

Yang Youye laughed out loud when he heard this.

"You? What official position do you go for? The officialdom is not your stage. Its rules and operations are the most complicated things in the world, and the imperial power is just a vassal of the huge bureaucracy."

Gu Heng opened his eyes wide, and said, "Some people recognize the rules you mentioned, but some people don't. Find a knife, an extremely sharp knife, and pierce those hypocritical rules and unspoken rules?"

Yang Youye laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Have you chosen someone?"

……

Except for staying in the harem for a period of time, the dog emperor is working hard every day, which can be regarded as diligent government for the people.

It wasn't until after dinner that I had time for myself.

This father-in-law led Gu Heng to the Hall of Mental Cultivation of the Dog Emperor.

Today he was wearing normal clothes, holding a book in his hand, but he read it very seriously.

Gu Heng knelt down to salute, the dog emperor lifted up and said: "Ah Heng got up, we are all a family, so there is no need to be so formal."

Gu Heng stood up and said to him: "Your Majesty, my servant feels that suppressing bandits in Beizhili is a good thing for the country and the people, but if it is only to suppress bandits, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause, so my daughter..."

The dog emperor waved his hand, and he said with a smile: "I am going to shoot General Wang to suppress the bandits. The imperial court has its own rules."

The corners of Gu Heng's mouth twitched, and she said, "Your Majesty, just send an imperial envoy to investigate the case that Chihu mentioned. You don't need to arrest people in a big way, and you can give the people in the world a..."

The Dog Emperor smiled and said, "A what?"

Gu Heng replied: "One hope."
