Not long after they met, they didn't have a deep friendship, and Gu Qing borrowed Yang Guozhong's name and personal guards when he opened his mouth, which was a bit excessive.

It is impossible to test whether Yang Guozhong is a hot intestine in the valley, but he is definitely not a person who is a hot intestine in the ancient way, in fact, he is not a good person, and the request to borrow a name and a personal guard is a bit serious, Yang Guozhong subconsciously refused.

The smile on his face did not decrease, Yang Guozhong quickly organized the wording in his mind, but before he could speak, Gu Qing preemptively said: "Someone is eyeing our gossip report, Wannian County Order does not know who ordered it, and took two of my subordinates, Yang Taifu, this matter can be light or serious, you look at it." ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes widened suddenly, he boasted in front of His Majesty yesterday that the gossip must have been done properly under him and Gu Qing, and it was only a day later that it was arranged clearly.

"Who, who dares to touch my gossip?" Yang Guozhong was furious.

Gu Qing looked at him deeply, and said in a sincere tone: "Yang Taifu, Xia Guan is not a person who stirs trouble, the gossip newspaper is our partnership, Xia Guan just came to Chang'an, except for offending the Lu family's father and son, he has never offended anyone else, but Yang Taifu is high and powerful, and there must be a lot of political enemies, didn't someone kick you in the water behind your back a few days ago?" The lower officials thought that the person who instructed the Wannian County Order to take people was coming for you. ”

Yang Guozhong glared at Gu Qing angrily: "Who are the two people who Wannian County takes?" ”

"After the gossip newspaper was compiled, the two of them were responsible for the stereotyped printing, and they were also responsible for hiring people to spread the gossip newspaper to Chang'an City.

Yang Guozhong nodded slowly: "Then it's true that it's for the gossip." ”

Gu Qing nodded solemnly.

Yang Guozhong is a bad person, but a bad person is not necessarily a smart person. Yang Guozhong relied on his cousin to make his fortune, from a gangster-like character who did not learn and did not know how to do it, he became a relative of the dynasty overnight, he has not experienced the experience of officialdom, he has not been beaten by officialdom, and now his prosperity depends on Li Longji's favor, and he has not seen restraint in encroaching on land and bullying men and women on weekdays, and the real smart people will not be so disproportionate.

So he immediately believed Gu Qing's words, not only did he believe it, but he also immediately agreed to Gu Qing and asked Gu Qing to borrow his name and personal guard.

Yesterday, Gu Qing's flickering worked, when Yang Guozhong knew that the gossip newspaper was very useful to deal with political enemies, he was very attentive to the gossip newspaper, and he had regarded it as a part of his career, especially yesterday he also pulled Yang Guifei into the gang, and promised in front of Li Longji that it would be done well, the gossip newspaper seemed to have risen to a political height, and Yang Guozhong would never allow anyone to touch it.

And as a relative of the dynasty and the emperor's brother-in-law, he said modestly that there are not many people in Chang'an City who make him afraid, and isn't it the character that the emperor's brother-in-law should have when he appears?

Gu Qing immediately thanked him, took more than ten personal guards sent to him by Yang Guozhong, and hurried towards the Wannian County Ya.

Everyone ran fast all the way, Gu Qing was anxious, he knew that he had to race against time, what would happen to those who had no backers in prison, he knew very well, especially that others were going to take out some secrets from the mouths of the two businessmen.

Gu Qing didn't expect Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing to be able to rather die than give in, it was easy to say, in fact, in the face of cruel torture instruments, few people could rather die than give in, Gu Qing hoped that the two of them would be happy to move, after all, he had opened up the links in the palace, the gossip newspaper had obtained the consent of the Son of Heaven, and Yang Guifei's entry into the gang was reasonable and legal.

It's a pity that the two of them haven't returned since yesterday, and they probably don't know the news, if they think they are doing something illegal and don't want to betray Gu Qing, so they grit their teeth and carry it, it will be bad.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing became more and more anxious, and his feet became faster and faster.

The group rushed to Wannian County, the messenger at the door was stunned, and a group of armored sergeants surrounded a young man.

One of the officers hurriedly ran towards the county office, and the other officer reacted a little slower, throwing a resentful glance at the officer who had taken the lead in reporting the news, and then stared nervously at the group of people in front of him, his face pale as if he was facing a great enemy.

Gu Qing smiled politely at the messenger and said, "Did the Wannian County Order take two businessmen from Shuzhou last night?" Are they in prison? ”

The officer was afraid, but he still said stiffly, "I don't know." ”

Gu Qing still said with a pleasant face: "Then dare to ask, can the Wannian County Order be in the county office?" ”

"I don't know."

Gu Qing smiled.

The Wannian county order suddenly took people for no reason, and the blind could see that it was clearly instructed by someone behind it. Who is the person who instructed the Wannian County Order, Gu Qing is not clear, it is probably a certain courtier who holds a lot of power in the court.

It doesn't matter, I will go to the people who have surfaced today, since I have borrowed the name of Yang Guozhong, how can I live up to the ardent expectations of Yang Taifu if I don't do something high-flying?

Turning his head and looking at the dozen or so personal guards he brought, their faces were cold and silent, but there was a murderous aura in their silence, it should be Li Longji who was directly transferred from Jin Wuwei or Yulin Wei to Yang Guozhong as a personal guard.

Gu Qing turned to look at them, and said with a smile: "I don't know which one is the leader?" ”

One of them, a man in his twenties with a strong physique, came out of the ranks, hugged his fists and said, "The last general is the team, with me as the leader." ”

"Do you dare to enter the county government with me?"

"Mrs. Yang has been instructed to listen to Shao Langjun."

"Do you dare to help me smash the county government?"

"Mrs. Yang has been instructed to listen to Shao Langjun."

"Do you dare to help me beat the county order?"

"Mrs. Yang's Mansion has had a ......"

Gu Qing smiled: "Okay, okay, I know your bottom line." ”

The errand officer heard Gu Qing and his guards ask and answer on the side, and he was frightened, sure enough, the person who came was not good, and the Wannian County Government was going to be bad today!

Gu Qing's smile gradually narrowed, took a deep breath, and said, "Save people first, and then beat the county order violently, and leave you." ”

After asking about the location of the prison, Gu Qing led the people and horses towards the prison.

In front of the prison door, five or six messengers guarded according to their knives, and when they saw Gu Qing and his party coming with unkind expressions, the officers were shocked and drew their knives one after another, and one of the officers said sharply: "Who are you waiting for?" Prison heavy, do you dare to rob the prison? ”

Gu Qing's answer was very succinct: "Dare." ”

The order was given to bring down the guards at the gate, and the guards swarmed up, and in a few rounds, the officers fell to the ground.

Gu Qing glanced at it, and saw that the servants were all suffering skin injuries, and secretly praised in his heart, this group of guards was still very measured.

Searching for the key from the officer, Gu Qing opened the cell door, rushed in first, endured the stench in the prison, and searched for the cells one by one.

It is not easy to find people in the prison, the prisoners inside are all wearing prison clothes, their hair is scattered, their faces are dirty and their facial features are indistinct, and they are looking for them one by one, Gu Qing is impatient, and simply shouted: "Hao Donglai, Shi Daxing, where are you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a cry suddenly came from the depths of the prison, and then a weak voice: "Shao, Shaolangjun? ”

Gu Qing hurriedly led the people inside.

Walking to a cell door, seeing the appearance of Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing inside through the iron bar, Gu Qing's face suddenly turned iron-blue, and his hands trembled with clenched fists.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing lay on a pile of stinky straw and couldn't move, they were covered with blood, and there were bloody whip marks, Shi Daxing's arm was hanging limply on his chest, and his wrist and elbow formed a strange angle, obviously broken. Hao Donglai was shirtless, the once white and pure fat on his chest was blurred with flesh and blood, a piece of blood on his thigh, even the belt was torn off, the skin and flesh were not completely separated from the thigh, and the lotus root was draped on the straw.

A shocking scene, Gu Qing was furious.

Taking a deep breath, he ordered himself to calm down and asked the guards to open the prison door, Gu Qing walked in quickly, squatting in front of Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai, his eyes reddening.

"I'm sorry for you, I'm late."

The two were tortured to the point that they were inhuman, Hao Donglai was in a coma, Shi Daxing looked at Gu Qing, Douda's tears fell down, and he grinned hard: "It's not too late, Shaolangjun, at least we're still alive......"

Glancing at Hao Donglai, who was unconscious, Shi Daxing didn't forget to belittle him at this time, and smiled weakly: "Hao Fat Man is not very good, he was only tortured at dawn, and he fainted when he was thrown into the cell, I am better than him." ”

"What do they ask you?"

"The matter of the gossip report, it seems that several groups of people in Chang'an City are tracking us, and if the source finds me and Hao Fatzi, they can't continue to investigate, so they brought us to interrogate us......"

There was a heart-piercing pain in his body, Shi Daxing gasped, raised his eyes to look at Gu Qing, and said slowly: "Shaolangjun, I have no tricks with Hao Fatzi, do you believe us?" ”

Gu Qing smiled with tears in her eyes: "I believe that you are heroes." If you had done so, you would not have so many wounds on your body. ”

"It's not that we are good men, we are merchants, the sages said, businessmen are profit-seeking, and they are born to be looked down upon by the world. But I don't want to be looked down upon by you, we hope that we in your eyes are upright people. ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "In my heart, you are a man who stands up to the sky, and from now on you are a friend and brother whom I can entrust with my life." ”

Shi Daxing smiled contentedly, his eyes slowly closed, the words just now had exhausted his spirit, and he was already drowsy at this time.

Gu Qing patted him and said, "Don't sleep yet, who tortured you like this?" ”

Shi Daxing tried to open his eyelids and said, "I don't know, it should be the head of the cell......

Gu Qing's smile showed a cruel taste: "Old Shi, cheer up, watch carefully, I will help you take revenge." ”

Standing up and looking at the guards, Gu Qing said, "Will you be tortured?" ”

The leader of the guard said: "I haven't used torture, but you can try." ”

"Then please bring the cell boss here, according to the injuries of these two, use it on the cell boss as it is, can you do it?"

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
