Chapter 236: Radical Enemy
Du Shi walked up to the attic, and Aunt Gongsun and the housekeeper of the Zhang family were standing by the window.
"It's still here, what should I do?"
"Whoa."
Looking outside the door of the post house, I saw Guo Yuanliang, Song Li and others with gifts, still begging to see Zhang Sanniang.
"It's okay, sooner or later." Du Shi opened his mouth and said: "Let the two little ladies of the Song family come in, and only let them in." β
After that, Du Shi turned to Aunt Gongsun and saluted: "The little lady of the Zhang family should also lose her temper." β
"Don't worry, if you're used to it, you know how to do it."
After this arrangement, everyone else went to do things, leaving only Du Wulang, who had nothing to do.
Seeing the two gentlemen outside the post house arguing and shouting, Du Wulang couldn't help but worry: "It's only been a day, second sister, your plan is about to be revealed, Wang Yi hasn't seen Wei Fuyin yet." β
"Shut up."
"I always have to come up with ideas for my second sister."
"If you dare to do this, why panic?"
Du Shi was patiently appeased by Xue Bai, but he was not very worried at this time, and calmly taught his younger brother.
"My plan has nothing to reveal, I want to steal power from others, and you still want to have a perfect plan? The plan is a direction, in that direction, God blocks and kills God, this is the attitude of doing things, understand?"
"Oh."
Du Wulang thinks that he probably doesn't need to understand, he, the second sister, and Xue Bai are two types of people.
"Anyway, I'm worried about you?"
"It's useless to worry." Du Shi said calmly: "Just be ready to die together." β
"Second sister, don't scare me, I've just gotten married." Speaking of Xue Yunniang, Du Wulang said: "I have been to the county office for a while, but I have to go to see my mother-in-law." β
"I envy you sometimes."
Du Shi sighed slightly, and remembered that in the winter of Tianbao's fifth year, the whole family almost broke down.
In this world, even the identity of Prince Liangdi can't keep his family, how can he not be ready to fight for his life at any time?
Outside the post house, Guo Yuanliang and Song Li still had smiles on their faces.
"We are here to apologize, how can the little lady of the Tang Dynasty hide in the boudoir and not see anyone?"
Guo Yuanliang was bent on asking to see him, and couldn't help but provoke the guards outside the door with his words, which was a common method he used when flirting with other little ladies.
He was suspicious in his heart, but he felt that the guess was too bold for him to believe it, and he wanted to confirm it first, so he was inevitably a little anxious.
dared to speak out, subconsciously he actually had a tendency.
In the courtyard, the steward of the Zhang family strode out and asked, "What did you just say?" β
"I mean..."
"Smack!"
With a loud bang, Song Li was startled, turned his head to look, and saw that Guo Yuanliang's face had been slapped red by the Zhang family's steward, and he hurriedly avoided two steps.
"You dare to hit me?"
Guo Yuanliang covered his face and asked in astonishment: "Do you know who I am?" β
"Smack!"
The housekeeper of the Zhang family didn't wait for him to finish speaking, raised his other hand and slapped him again, and asked, "Do you know who I am?" β
Guo Yuanliang took a few steps back and retreated to his servants, but he couldn't beckon people to come forward as usual, and after thinking about it, he calmed down and changed to a sincere attitude.
"It's me who is rude, these two slaps should be regarded as making amends to the little lady of the Zhang family, but the kidnapping is a misunderstanding......."
"Misunderstanding? The saint's cousin was taken captive, and the mastermind dared to talk here, I think this Yanshi County is against the sky! β
Guo Yuanliang was actually frightened by this sentence, trembled, hurriedly bowed again, and said: "Definitely not the mastermind, definitely not the mastermind."
He couldn't say anything else.
Although he suspected that the other party was fake, the momentum of the Shangzhu State Mansion pressed over, making him unable to deal with it calmly at all.
"Boss, I'm not in the same league as him." Song Li stepped forward, gave a gentle salute, and said: "I hate those villains for disturbing the little lady of the Zhang family, and when I learned that place was related to the Guo family, I brought him to ......."
"Got it, let your two little ladies in."
"Thank you, thank you."
Song Li breathed a sigh of relief at this time, turned his head to look at Guo Yuanliang, and immediately turned his face to this long-time friend and shouted: "You still don't get out of here?!" β
In fact, before coming, he also heard Guo Yuanliang say some strange things, saying that the little lady of the Zhang family was fake and so on.
He almost believed it.
At this time, it seems that maybe this Guo Yuanliang is the one who wants to climb the high branches, because he knows that the Guo family is not worthy of a businessman, so he kidnaps people. Gao Chong accepted the benefits of the Guo family and played rounds everywhere, so that he could have a hero to save the beauty.
These people do everything possible to make him die, which shows that human feelings are sinister.
When Guo Yuanliang returned to his mansion in Yanshi County, Guo Wanjin had already returned from the county office and was sitting in the hall.
The Guo family is extremely wealthy, but they did not act very ostentatiously in the past, and the mansion here is not large, and it is just some ordinary luxury.
"What's the matter with the face?" When Guo Wanjin looked up and saw his son, he couldn't help but say angrily: "The surname Song dares to beat you? β
"The Zhang family steward beat it."
Hearing this, Guo Wanjin's anger disappeared, and he nodded instead.
Guo Yuanliang said again: "But it may not be the Zhang family's steward?" β
"What do you mean?"
"Grandpa, you don't believe what I said." Guo Yuanliang hesitated for a moment and said, "I suspect that the little lady of the Zhang family is a fake." β
"Fake?"
"When I look at her portrait, it feels like a gift to Aunt Gongsun that Li Twelve Niang......"
Guo Wanjin didn't believe it, his expression was very solemn, rubbing an agate cup in his hand, thinking about everything that happened after the little lady of the Zhang family arrived in Luoyang.
Because she lived in Princess Yuzhen's annex, Aunt Gongsun went to visit, and Liu Changqing wrote poems, no one suspected that she was fake. But immediately after that, such a big thing happened, and the spearhead was pointed at the Zhang family.
"The old man has to go to see Gao Xiancheng immediately!"
Gao Chong was talking to Li San'er in the house, and when he learned that the Guo family's father and son were coming, he asked Li San'er to sit down on the side.
After listening to Guo Yuanliang's narration, he was not too surprised, but seemed to think it was funny, laughed, and said, "I didn't expect Xue Bai to be so bold." β
"I also think he shouldn't be like this, if it's fake, how can he hide it in the future? How to explain to the Zhang family? Aunt Gongsun shouldn't help him either. β
"It's really fake, you can tell it at first sight." Gao Chong said, "This is Yanshi, the county official came forward to be a peacemaker, can she keep hiding?" If you can't do it again, just send someone to Chang'an. β
"Yes."
"Wait for the county order to go to the post house to see her, you pretend to be an attachΓ© to take a look, don't you have the reason to take Xue Bai away? Prepare your people too...... Let's go to the prefectural ordinance first. β
The father and son of the Guo family got the idea and left.
Gao Chong raised his wine glass, drank a glass with Li San'er, and said, "Xue Bai acts unscrupulously, this is similar to Ah Shang." β
"The villain also thought of Gao Langjun as soon as he saw him, did the county ask him? The county lieutenant can't be changed all the time. β
"That's exactly what I wanted." Gao Chong groaned, "When I take him, I'll give him a choice." β
At noon, outside the gate of the county office, the porter Zhao Liu watched the county order's ceremonial driver leave, and there was a person in the entourage behind him who looked a little strange.
Zhao Liu's eyes are sharp, and who in this county office he doesn't recognize? Suddenly, a living person ran out to follow the county order, he couldn't help but take a closer look, and recognized that it was Guo Jiaerlang, who had just entered the county office, and felt very strange in his heart.
"I heard that the Guo family was involved in a big case of selling a lover, could it be that Guo Erlang held the county order hostage?"
This thought popped up in his mind, and Zhao Liu himself felt ridiculous. But when I think about it, I really can't think of any other reason. β
I have to tell Gao Xiancheng.
Zhao Liucai took two steps, just in time to see Qi Chou coming over with a piece of naan in his mouth.
"Qi Shuaitou."
"Don't call me handsome." Qi Chou smiled, "Now the handsome man of Yanshi County is my Ah Xian brother. β
Zhao Liu knew that he had been getting close to County Lieutenant Xue recently, so he didn't dare to stay with him for long, so he was about to walk away with a smile.
"Liu'er, come here." Qi Chou beckoned, handed over a purse, and said, "Tell you and your brother about a daughter-in-law." β
Before he could react, Zhao Liu already felt the heaviness in his hands, and couldn't help but exclaim: "How dare you?" β
"Stupid, stupidly waiting, can you wait to enter Liucao? Didn't you hear about the location of the account history, and Master Sun had already given him the stupid nephew who didn't even recognize all the words? β
Zhao Liu still pushed the purse out.
Qi Chou refused to answer, and said: "The entire county office is the most pity for you, you are literate and can settle accounts, but you are still watching the door."
Take it boldly, your aunt is waiting to hold her grandson, but she still has a few years? β
As he spoke, he whispered to him, lowered his voice and said: "The county lieutenant has followed the will of the saint and came from Chang'an to investigate the big case, and you have also seen his methods, you can think it out yourself." β
Zhao Liu thought of what the county lieutenant said, "Take the old mother and the crippled brother to Chang'an", and the hand that pushed back the purse fell back weakly.
Qi Chou smiled: "Come with me, the county lieutenant will ask you a few words." β
"Okay."
Zhao Liu unconsciously put his purse into his arms, his mind was confused, and he went all the way to the county prison.
Xue Bai was asking about the case, although he was not punished, there was a lot of content written on the confession paper on the case.
"County Lieutenant."
"You are literate, and you read what is on this paper."
"Whoa."
Zhao Liu hurriedly stepped forward, held the paper in both hands, and read: "Today's criminal Wang Fu confessed, on October 12, Xu Shande sent a message to the master's family, sent someone to Longmen, and brought back several women......."
He was really literate, and to the end, there was no one who didn't know any rare words.
Xue Bai took it, took out the seal of the county lieutenant and stamped it, and then stamped a document approving the arrest, and said: "Send it to the county order" Back to the county lieutenant, the county order is not in the county office. Zhao Liu hesitated, looked down at the arrest document in his hand, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Guo Erlang pretended to be an entourage and followed the county order. β
He thought this was very important news, but Xue Bai didn't care too much, beckoned, and asked, "Has the county order sent someone to leave Yanshi in the past few days?" β
Zhao Liu thought for a while and responded: "Yes, since the accident, Yuan Yiheng, the staff member around the county order, is no longer there. β
Xue Bai asked about the situation at Yuan Yiheng's family, and then asked, "What is Guo Lushi's attitude?" β
"Guo Lushi is sick, since the accident, Guo Lushi has been recuperating at home, but he has not left Yanshi."
Xue Bai didn't tell Zhao Liu anything more, and said, "You continue to look at the gate of the county office, waiting to enter Liucao." β
"County lieutenant, but what else do you need the villain to do?"
"No, today's events will be kept secret for the time being."
"The villain understands."
It was so simple to do, Zhao Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and began to feel the heavy purse in his arms, and faintly felt that he was a little disadvantaged about taking this money.
He exited the county jail, walked through the courtyard of the county office, and met Xue Xian with a rather unenergetic young man.
As a porter, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask who this is.....
"It's a friend of the county lieutenant." Xue Xian replied with a cold face, pulled people over and left.
Zhao Liu looked over and saw that the young man seemed to be carrying a booklet in his arms.
Du Wulang entered the county prison, glanced around, and said, "Your Yanshi county is not big, but the county prison is not small. What about Xue Bai? β
Xue Xian responded: "Brother is interrogating, do you want to go in?" β
"Okay."
Qi Chou and Chai Gou'er hurriedly went over and said, "Let's lead the way." β
They raised their torches, and when they looked at it, they happened to see the shape of the booklet outlined on the placket of Togoro's clothes.
Xue Bai had already interrogated another person and asked, "Is the matter done?" β
Du Wulang patted the booklet in his arms and said with a smile: "I'll do something, don't worry." β
Xue Bai glanced at Qi Chou and Chai Gou'er, and did not avoid them.
"That's good, Mr. Yin has almost checked it, only this one.
"My grandfather has already arranged it, and when Luoyang's manpower comes, you will solve another case."
After a brief explanation, Xue Bai took Du Wulang to Wei Lang, and when he passed by Qi Chou's side, he patted him on the back and said, "You can prepare to take people." β
Inn.
"Let the little lady of the Zhang family be so frightened, it is the county that has no way to govern, and she should apologize."
Lu Linghao, as the lord of a county, even the post house is his territory, and after earnestly asking to see him, the steward of the Zhang family asked Zhang Xiaoniang for instructions, so he had to let him in.
The Zhang family is worthy of being the door of the close relatives of the saint, only a little daughter went out and fought very much, there were many guards, domestic servants, slaves and maids, from the gate to the attic in this short distance, I am afraid there are more than 20 people, and all of them are full of energy.
Guo Yuanliang, who was following behind Lu Linghao, lowered his head, and was a little skeptical of his judgment for a while.
He began to think that maybe Song Li's sister had drawn the wrong person, or maybe the little lady of the Zhang family also had a tear mole on the left eye?
After entering the lobby, Zhang Sanniang had not yet arrived, so she wanted the county order to wait for her.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Yuanliang glanced out of the window by the inner courtyard, and saw that Aunt Gongsun was practicing swords in the inner courtyard with a few disciples...... He clicked, but he didn't see Li Twelve Niang.
At this time, Zhang Sanniang arrived surrounded by several maidservants.
Guo Yuanliang didn't dare to look at it immediately, and the moment he lowered his head, he felt that the clothes were also luxurious, and even his son of a huge wealth was amazed.
"The little lady is polite."
Lu Linghao once saw Zhang Sanniang, stroked his beard and smiled: "Seeing that the little lady has a good complexion, the old man is relieved." β
"Lu County Ling is relieved, but I am not at ease, no wonder I heard in Chang'an that Guo Wanjin has accumulated ill-gotten gains!"
Although Zhang Sanniang's voice was immature, the anger towards the Guo family in her tone was very real.
Lu Linghao also heard a report from the Zhang family's steward in the morning that "Yanshi County is against the sky", and at this time, seeing her pointing the finger at the Guo family, she relaxed a little.
Guo Yuanliang felt that the voice of the head was a little familiar, and finally looked up and saw that it was indeed a delicate and lovely little woman in front of him.
For a moment, he suddenly thought of seven years ago
It was the first year of Tianbao, he was ordered by his father to Yuncheng to escort a batch of goods, when a household in Yuncheng Cao scribe found out about Guo's furniture minting coins. It must be known that Ren Lingfang's house was raided for this crime, so Guo Yuanliang bribed people to pretend to be robbers and get rid of the other party.
After doing this, he returned to Chang'an, on the way he saw an old woman selling her daughter, the little girl was six years old, born very cute, he bought it, returned to Chang'an, not long after, Guo Wanjin heard that Gongsun Aunt was relieving the orphans of the same township, so he sent the orphans from Yuncheng over, and the little girl was among them.
She is the person pretending to be Zhang Sanniang in front of her, the disciple of Gongsun Auntie - Li Twelve Niang.
Guo Yuanliang finally confirmed the matter, lowered his head, and felt that a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and his subordinates did not sell the daughter of the minister.
He was also surprised by the boldness of Xue Bai and Li Twelve Niang, who dared to pretend to be the royal family. Afterwards, Xue Bai couldn't hide it anyway, he was simply killing himself, but it was precisely because he was too bold that people couldn't believe it was fake.
He saw it.
The corners of Guo Yuanliang's mouth raised a hint of sneer, he remained silent for the time being, and when Lu Linghao invited Li Shiniang to Luoyan Tower tomorrow, he would leave.
But as soon as he got out of the inn, he said, "Fake! β
"Really?"
"It's a cheap maid, although I don't know why she dares, but the matter is undoubted. Mingfu, we didn't make a mess, everything is a bureau. β
"So? It's good that there's no mess. β
I have to immediately tell Grandpa and Gao Xiancheng the news, and I have to immediately surround the post house and take down Xue Bai. β
"Don't be impulsive, wait for the county to discuss with Gao County.
If it's too late, there will be no evidence for the cheap maid to escape, so I'll go and ask Grandpa to send someone to surround the post house......
Lu Linghao was worried, and immediately rushed back to the county government to discuss with Gao Chong.
Gao Chong was much more decisive than him, and said straightforwardly: "What else is there to discuss about your life and death?!" The prefectural order is too weak. β
"Weak?" Lu Linghao was also displeased, and brushed his sleeves and said: "No matter what you do, you can explain to the imperial court, and you will not be implicated in this county, see if I care about you or not?" β
"Xue Bai made someone pretend to be the emperor, why can't he explain?"
"You are at your own convenience, but before you find out thoroughly, you should not ask for a warrant from this county."
"Okay."
Gao Chong resolutely responded, pushed the door out, summoned his henchmen, and commanded.
"Tell the ditch head and do it."
"Whoa."
"Wait, where is Xue Bai?"
"Not long ago, I went out of the county office, and it seems that I went to visit Guo Lushi."
"There are two good players around him, let Qutou personally take him down."
"Whoa."
"Come with me."
Gao Chong said, turned to the county jail, and saw Qi Chou dressed in official uniforms and greeted him.
"County Cheng."
"Smack!"
As soon as they met, Gao Chong slapped Qi Chou to the ground and said, "Get up, I'm not guilty of the past." β
Qi Chou covered his face, nodded and said, "Xie Xiancheng, the villain knows his mistake." β
Gao Chong said: "The case has been clarified, all of them were framed, go and release all those people in prison." β
"The county is a county order...."
Halfway through Qi Chou's words, he raised his eyes and saw Gao Chong's face cold, and hurriedly lowered his head again.
I don't see the paperwork, and now I let the person go, just as Gao Chong said, if there is something wrong, but he is asked to take responsibility, he can't help but hesitate.
The next moment, another errand officer caught up and reported in a low voice: "County Cheng, someone came to find County Lieutenant Xue today, and he seemed to be carrying an account book in his arms. β
"What about people?" Gao Chong asked quickly.
Qi Chou inexplicably felt a chill on his back, and rushed to report: "It's a little fat man, who is talking to Yin Liang in Wei." β
Gao Chong hurried to the county corridor, raised his foot and kicked the door open, but there was no one inside, neither Yin Liang nor the little fat man.
Xue Bai has found the key evidence and sent it out?
"Moths to the fire and bring about their own destruction.
