At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the city was still in a state of curfew, but the curfew was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army, so Guo Shu's carriage walked on the empty street, and the squeaky sound was particularly obvious, abrupt and in harmony with this dark night. From Guo's house, if you want to go to Chongsheng Gate, you must pass the prison of the Criminal Department, the carriage stopped in front of the prison gate slowly, just for a moment, and then swayed forward, but the car seemed to be lighter, and there was a BMW missing next to it. The horse was very well-behaved, and found a dark alley by himself, and stood there waiting for his master.

"Where the people are, take me there. A hoarse voice came from the black cloak, and the jailer, who had been waiting for a long time, carried a lamp and silently led the way. Three generations have relied on this prison to eat, and all kinds of tricks have long been familiar, and it is normal for these nobles not to want others to know. The noble man who came tonight, he didn't know who it was, but since the boss didn't say it, he had better not know that this was the experience that many years of experience had given him.

The women's cell was on the top floor, and the sunlight could be seen, but that didn't include the innermost room. Most of the room was buried deep in the ground, and only above the top was a small window for ventilation, and the thick steel bars were embedded in the thick walls, so that even the thin woman's hand could not reach through the gap.

A filthy thing that could not be seen in human form was locked in an iron chain as thick as four arms, and the clothes on its body were already attached to its body in pieces, but it was soaked all over, and the clothes had no meaning except for psychological comfort. There was a bowl of glutinous rice on the floor, with two drops of soy sauce and a little pickles, which was from last night. But Guo Shu was very suspicious that the lump of things on the ground still had the strength to drag the heavy iron chain and come over to eat this bowl of gluttonous rice.

The air was turbid and damp, even though Guo Shu had already understood it, but compared to the last time, this place was even more uncomfortable. Guo Shu's face was buried in the shadows, he kept frowning, stroking his unsmooth breathing, and patiently waiting for the jailer to open one chain after another.

Stuffed two copper coins in his hand, (the official silver is not something that he can use as a little jailer), and said in a hoarse voice: "You go out first, you will come back when I go out, rest assured, she has no strength to escape." ”

The jailer retreated silently, Guo Shu walked inside, and felt that his breathing was not smooth, so he had to wipe a little incense with him, which made him feel a little better, and raised his foot and kicked it. The thing on the ground seemed to sense and moved, but it couldn't drag the chain, so it had to turn its head vigorously to see who it was.

Guo Shu pulled the chain and straightened the chain so that she could lie down on her back, looked at it, pulled her to the wall again, so that she could sit, took off the water bladder, broke the opening and poured it, took out a small bun, and stuffed it directly. Her mouth finally moved a few times and swallowed the thing, Guo Shu poured a few more mouthfuls of water when she saw this, fed all the buns on her body, pulled her hair, tore a strip of cloth, and tied her hair up. It's just that her hair is really greasy and sticky. Guo Shu's brows furrowed even tighter, and after tying it, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands fiercely, and then looked at the woman in front of him seriously.

Zheng Qiang watched Guo Shu finish all the movements, and a hoarse voice with a hint of mockery came, "Sure enough, it's the eldest lady, I don't forget to wipe my hands in this prison, I don't know what my old wife is worthy of worrying about the county lord, but this food, I'm afraid you made it yourself, what you eat is the most exquisite in the house, and the chefs in the house can't make this taste, the confinement meal you made for Dafang is this taste, and I have eaten it." ”

Guo Shu suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, his curved eyebrows and eyes were like a ray of sunshine in this hell, fleeting.

"If I can come, you must still be valuable, otherwise, I think that if you are in prison, you will not be able to live until now. Guo Shu said very slowly, just like when the two of them were chatting in Guo's house.

Zheng Qiang smiled bitterly, raised her hand vigorously, but couldn't lift it, and shook it twice, "What value do you think I can have like this?"

"What you promised, the agreement between us, now that the little sister is married half a month later, earlier than the princess, I don't think you will forget. ”

Zheng Qiang's eyes seemed to have a ray of light, and then disappeared, "I'll leave it to you, now it's done, what if I don't hand it over." "Once I knew that my daughter was okay, I immediately began to think about it.

Guo Shu was not annoyed, "It's not so good, if the things on your body don't come out, no one will really move you, but..." Guo Shu looked around, "You can't get out, I have limited time, I always like to go straight to the point, in a word, you hand it over, I will guarantee you that you will have no worries for the rest of your life, a hammer deal, you see, I have always been so good in business, I have to go out of the city gate at dawn, you have less than a quarter of an hour to think about it, but given that I am really uncomfortable here, you may not have so much time to think about it."

But in fact, I am different from what other people want, such as what others want but the things that have been making a lot of noise recently, but don't blame me for not speaking well, without you, others will spit it out, and it is not because you have to, what I want is what the Zheng family handed over to you, you can't use that thing well, if it weren't for my father, I'm afraid that the grass on your grave has grown......"

When Zheng Qiang heard this, her eyes widened, and her hoarse voice turned out to be a little clearer, "It turned out that you got me here, what kind of grudge did I have with you, you want to treat me like this, ah----"

Guo Shu put his finger to his mouth and smiled more and more brightly, but the killing intent oozing from his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"Don't make trouble, I'm afraid that my grudge with you will be counted from sixteen years ago, so calculated, I don't want to do this business, don't challenge my limit, if it weren't for my father still thinking about a little old love, I wouldn't have set foot here today, since I come back, although you are not good to me, but there is nothing wrong with me, I will leave a way to live, otherwise I will take your head to sweep the grave," Guo Shu's hand gradually climbed up Zheng Qiang's chin, his voice became more and more ruthless, and his subordinates gradually strained, almost crushing Zheng Qiang's chin, but he let go of his hand and took out an extremely delicate jade pendant from his arms, which was carved with complicated patterns. Zheng Qiang's gaze swept over and struggled fiercely, Guo Shu pinched Zheng Qiang's chin again with his backhand to prevent her from making too much noise.

"It's true that I deliberately sent you here, you shouldn't have used what the Zheng family left for you, now, the time is up, do you do this deal, or not?"

A faint questioning voice came, shattering Zheng Qiang's confidence. She once thought that the hole cards were just jokes in the eyes of others, she now really believes that Guo Shu came because of a little old love that Guo Shun was thinking about, she has no chips to use, compared to others, she at least believes in "her own family".

Zheng Qiang trembled and begged: "Please, help me take care of Yi'er, she is pure by nature, and she will suffer......"

Guo Shu smiled, "Happy cooperation." Turning his head and walking out of the cell, the jailer who had been waiting for a long time silently locked the cell back and silently followed Guo Shu until he got out of the cell, resisted the urge to take another look, and returned to his job again. To him, it was just one of countless secrets, and if it was a secret, it was not something he could know.

At this time, the morning star hung in the sky with a trace of almost invisible fish belly white on the other side of the sky.

The housekeeper guarding the city gate looked anxiously at the city, at this time, the city gate must have been opened in normal times, but today it has been postponed for a while, although it is not a big deal, but the housekeeper is becoming more and more anxious. Finally, a cyan figure rode the horse

When he returned, the butler breathed a sigh of relief, and the gates creaked open. The businessmen on the roadside only glanced at the city gates, which were late today, and sold their own food to the convoy, but the men who had already eaten well before they came out ignored it, and the vendors waited for the next group of visitors, which was just an ordinary day.

It was only a half-day trip to Zhuangzi, and Guo Shu found Guo Que who was stuffed in by Guo Shun on the road, according to him, Guo Shunnian and Qian took care of the two children alone, and it was inevitable that Guo Que was older, so it was good for his aunt to take two days of quiet and quiet. Although the Qian family was not very willing, he did not dare to disobey his father-in-law, and he only lived for half a month.

Guo Shu recalled what Guo Yuan said about Concubine Xian's birthday a month later, so he smiled bitterly, in this mansion, except for Guo Shun and Guo Shu, no one took Guo Shang's marriage to heart.

If you don't take it to heart, it is not reflected in the dowry, in fact, Guo Shang's dowry is far beyond the reach of any concubine in the capital, even the side concubine. Guo Shang's marriage is a boudoir woman marrying a man she likes, and it is also a marriage. The former one is more like the icing on the cake, this marriage itself will not let the Guo family take it to heart, the glory of the Guo family never depends on marriage, otherwise Guo Shun would not marry the daughter of a businessman, and the marriage would be uncomfortable. At the end of the day, they're just dismissive of it.

This Zhuangzi has a good field, it is the time when the early rice grows, the field is green, and the smooth spring rain indicates a good harvest this year. The oil mill in the village is squeezing the rapeseed that has just been harvested into vegetable oil, and it is in full swing.

As for the courtyard of the main house, it is halfway up a hill, the slope is not steep, and the road is paved with blue bricks and pebbles, so it can be seen that it has been repaired frequently. Although the road is not easy to walk in the rainy season, but the impact is not big, the best thing is that the thick shade is dense, and there is a pond, which is led down by digging a pit to store water, it is living water, not deep, but it is best to soak your feet in summer to cool off, it seems that there are many lotuses planted, and you are preparing to find an opportunity to rise to the top. There are also many mosquito repellent plants planted around the yard, but they are still green.

This is a good place, Guo Shu sighed, it won't be long before this Zhuangzi will become his own, otherwise his father would not let him come here. It seems that this is a Zhuangzi where veterans gather, all of whom were born and died with the Guo family for a lifetime, and after retiring from the army, follow the Guo family to find a Zhuangzi for retirement, which is not a retainer, but absolutely reliable, this is the retreat of the Guo family in the future.
