Gao Shiqi is eloquent, and with just a few words, Ethan promised to give him ten days to investigate the case. However, in the next ten days, Chen Huang and Gao Shiqi came to Baihegou to investigate and found nothing unusual, just like the green mud of soft mud. Tiaoshi seems to have never existed, but the fact that Jin Zhiyu killed people is undeniable. Whenever the new patriarch mentions this matter, he will be filled with righteous indignation.
After patrolling the river during the day, and resting at the patriarch's house at night, Gao Shiqi looked at Chen Huang puzzled, saying that the new patriarch was a little strange, with treacherous eyes, but Chen Huang didn't take it to heart at all. A few days have passed since the ten-day deadline, Chen Huang and Gao Shiqi searched without finding anything, and escorted the Qingtiaoshi convoy to return home. They passed by Guanghe Town to rest, and the patriarch set up food and drinks.
Unexpectedly, Mongolian sweat medicine was poured into the wine, and Chen Huang and Gao Shiqi were unconscious. Fortunately, Xiaohu secretly monitored every move of the convoy until they set off to the pier with the stones. Xiaohu wakes up Chen Huang and Gao Shiqi with water in time, and the two realize that the patriarch has put medicine into the wine, and they are a little annoyed.
At this moment, a fire has been set up on the pier. Xiaohu and others hid in the grass and watched carefully, and found that the patriarch ordered everyone to pour vinegar on the blue strip stone, and respected the people around him, asking him to report back to A Xixi on his behalf. Gao Shiqi knew immediately when he saw this. Using this method of steaming with vinegar and roasting on a fire, it is often used to make lime, so it can be said that the green strip stone is as crisp as earth.
Although Chen Huang and Gao Shiqi had found out the truth, Jin Fu had to wait until he received no news for ten days, so he thought that there was no turning back. Before the next day's execution, Jin Fu came to see his son for the last time, blaming himself for not being able to protect him well. Jin Zhiyu was ready to die, but he felt sorry for not being able to honor his mother well before his death.
Originally, Jin Fu prepared painless pills for Jin Zhiyu, but Jin Zhiyu vomited them out directly after he was taken to the execution ground. Jin Fu was even more saddened by this. If it wasn't for his entourage's sharp eyes and quick hands to help him, he might have passed out already. At the critical moment, Gao Shiqi brought the criminals to the execution ground, and there was enough evidence to prove Jin Zhiyu's innocence.
Ethan Annian arrested three important court criminals in Gao Shiqi, and let himself receive the credit, so he did not continue to pursue Jin Zhiyu's responsibility. In the end, Gao Shiqi was responsible for cleaning up the mess, and personally supervised and beheaded a total of 16 prisoners in Baihegou. The officials of the River Governor's Mansion and Jin Fu and his wife came forward to thank Gao Shiqi, but Chen Huang was depressed the whole time, thinking that his hasty execution was unfair.
Gao Shiqi knew that Chen Huang was kind-hearted and also a bit of a woman's benevolence. If he hadn't relied on the emperor's favor, he might have been decapitated long ago. It seems that the emperor is sitting in the palace isolated from the world, but in fact everything is like a mirror, including Chen Huang's instigation of Yu Zhenjia's robbery of government food, so Gao Shiqi reminds Chen Huang to be careful about everything.
Not long after, Ethan Ah returned to Beijing to report the investigation process to Kangxi. Gao Shiqi pretended to help Ethan Ah claim credit, but in fact he cooperated with Kangxi and deliberately put on small shoes for him. Kangxi asked Gao Shiqi to make a high-profile plan to reward Ethan Ah, and by the way warned Gao Shiqi to keep his duty, so Gao Shiqi was so scared that his back turned cold, and he finally understood what it means to be with a king like a tiger.
Although Jin Zhiyu was exempt from the death penalty, he could not escape the crime. Kangxi ordered him to be exiled to Uliasutai, and he would not return until the matter subsided two years later. Before leaving, Jin Zhiyu bid farewell to his parents, as well as Chen Huang, Guo Heshu and others, and Jin Fu accompanied his son to the outside of the city gate.
It was also because Yisang'a was deflated in front of the emperor, so he hurried to confide to Suo'etu, thinking that Kangxi and Gao Shiqi had partnered to harm him, and now he is equivalent to a dumb man eating coptis. Suo'etu asked Esang'a why he was powerless to fight back since he had already been to the Qinhuai River, and then suggested that he read more books to increase his knowledge.
