When Yao Zheng arrogantly brought Gao Jie and the others back to the state office, the officials guarding the door were a little dazed.

They saw Gao Jie and others go out from here in the morning, and only after inquiring did they know the identity of this little brother, so the gossip of the mysterious boy became a topic of conversation when they were bored at the gate. Who knows, Gao Jie's return turned out to be brought back by the arrest head Tao Zheng, and it seems that the atmosphere is not friendly.

In fact, in the state office, there are only seven or eight people who wear a pair of pants and collude with Yao Zheng, and although the rest are not as upright as Wang Yi, they are not people with a bad conscience.

Today, seeing that Yao Zheng proudly escorted Gao Jie and others to the class room, these officials did not make a sound reminder, but with the mentality of watching a good show, they collectively chose to remain silent.

In addition to Pang Weifeng's father and son being frightened and worried, Ji Longfeng, Jiao Miao and Yu Hongzhi had already understood Gao Jie's intentions, they held back a smile and followed Yao Zheng to the class room very cooperatively.

Returning to his own territory, Yao Zheng became bolder, and determined that these martial arts masters were still quite afraid of the official yamen, and did not dare to confront the government, he went to the class room, and did not carry out the so-called interrogation, but asked his subordinates to take Gao Jie and his people directly into the cell, planning to starve them for a few days before speaking, and then bring them up when these guys have suffered enough and know that they are afraid, and they extort according to the custom.

Gao Jie did not resist, and was obediently imprisoned, he just asked Wang Yi to make it convenient for him to be locked up with Pang Weifeng and his son.

Wang Yi had no ill feelings towards Gao Jie and the others, nodded in agreement, and when the cell door was locked, he looked at Gao Jie and shook his head and said, "You kid, you have beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, you look smart and smart, why are you a nerd?"

Gao Jie let out an "oh" and asked with a smile, "How do you say this?"

Wang Yi sighed rarely and said, "I know that you are not evildoers, and today's incident is definitely not caused by you, so there is really no need to come here to suffer." With your ability to wait, you could have gotten out a long time ago, but you were so stupid that you followed the cell without resistance, do you say you are a fool?"

Gao Jie pretended to be naïve and said: "We are all good citizens who abide by the law and do our duty, how dare we go against the government? Just now, Yao Zhutou just asked us to come to the yamen to cooperate with the investigation, since we have not caused trouble and broken the law, and the matter is clear, we should be released immediately." ”

Wang Yi was a little speechless, and secretly said that this young man was really stupid and naïve, and at this time, he caught a glimpse of a few arresters who had already locked others in and walked over, so he didn't want to say anything more, and turned around and left the cell.

Gao Jie looked back at Pang Weifeng and his son, and said with a smile: "Uncle Pang and Ziqing, are you scared?"

Pang Weifeng shook his head and said, "I'm just worried, I don't want my son to be wronged because of our Pang family's affairs." ”

Ziqing also said: "I'm not afraid, because there is a big brother here!"

Gao Jie nodded, pulled them to sit down on the straw floor together, and began to carefully ask Pang Weifeng about Shanxi's business.

Although he has been fooling around for two years, Pang Weifeng is a proud man in the business world after all, and when he talks about doing business, he suddenly forgets the worry of being put in a prison cell, and begins to talk to Gao Jie endlessly.

After Qi Meiyue and her younger brother Qi Wusheng left Fuluzhuang, they also separated, and she went straight back to the business house to deal with things, and Qi Wusheng's half-day vacation was almost over, so she rushed back to the yamen of the state capital and waited for the call of the commander.

When it was time for dinner, Luo Sigong had not come back, so Qi Wusheng went to the canteen in the state capital to prepare for dinner.

Because there are a lot of officials in the yamen of the state capital, and the canteen is quite large, the brocade guards left by Qi Wusheng and others have noble status, so they naturally will not eat together with the officials, so they will form a table and start chatting.

On the other side, a group of arresters gathered around and talked about Gao Jie and others being arrested and put in prison.

Because Yao Zheng couldn't wait to rush back to a good friend he had newly met, he was not in the cafeteria, and several of his followers made a lot of black money because they usually did evil, and they all went out to eat and drink spicy food, so the rest of the catches were all honest and responsible, including Wang Yi, of course, and they talked quite loudly and seemed elated.

From the mouth of the fast catcher who knew the inside story, Wang Yi knew the identity of Gao Jie and the others, and then he understood why this group of people calmly and honestly followed them back, and they were put in a prison cell as if they couldn't ask for it, and their intention was obvious, that is, to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and to rectify Yao Zheng! Wang Yi thought of this, and suddenly felt a little cold, and secretly said that the young man was not a nerd, but a powerful character with deep city government and clever means! Fortunately, I didn't do anything excessive, so I don't have to worry too much, it's just that Yao Zheng, who has always been arrogant, is only afraid that he will be unlucky.

He looked at the excited catchers around him, and suddenly felt that if he could really pull out Yao Zheng's tooth decay, wouldn't the yamen be much clearer, and the people would also benefit from it, which should really be regarded as a very happy thing! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a smile on his old-fashioned face.

Qi Wusheng has extraordinary martial arts, he can hear well, and he also heard these discussions at this time, and learned that Gao Jie was arrested and put in prison because of a conflict with Fuluzhuang, and immediately understood the reason, how could he still have the heart to eat, dropped the dishes and chopsticks, and didn't have time to say hello, so he ran to the dining hall under the puzzled eyes of the brocade guards.

Gu Shanghong is the head of the ancient family of Puzhou Jujia, he is nearly sixty years old, his body is still very strong, his hair and beard are black and swarthy, white hair chat, and he looks like he is in his forties, which is related to his regular life and the way of health preservation.

After dinner, as usual, he came to Fuluzhuang with a few retinues. Although Fuluzhuang is not the most profitable industry of the ancient family, it is the most suitable place for leisure, Gu Shanghong likes to go to the gambling house to drink tea at night, watching the gamblers bustling, shouting five and six indulge in the scene of gambling scenes, the heart is very happy.

Sitting on the Taishi chair, Gu Shanghong tasted the good tea that Gu Lang made for him, and listened to his report on today's gambling situation.

Although Qingyun is the signboard of Fuluzhuang and the manager of the entire gambling house, he is an outsider after all, unlike Gu Lang, who is a child of the Naigu family, and is more trustworthy. Therefore, Gu Shanghong is generally more willing to learn about some big and small things about the entire gambling house from Gu Long.

When he listened to the matter of Gao Jie and others reported by Gu Long, he nodded with satisfaction, then took a sip of tea comfortably, and said with a smile: "I don't know where these guys who don't know the depth come from, they dare to go to my Fuluzhuang to win money, you and Qingyun have done a good job this time, Yao Zheng's guy has finally come in handy, and the silver money that is usually given to him is not all thrown into the water." ”

Gu Lang stood with a bow, nodding his head again and again.

Gu Shanghong continued: "When this matter is over, you will secretly spread the news, this is called killing chickens to show monkeys, I want to see if there are still those guys who are not long-eyed in the future and dare to come to my Gu family to make trouble!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a chuckle from the door: "Uncle Gu, I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble this time!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of fragrant wind drifted into the room, Gu Shanghong saw that it was Qi Meiyue and Qi Wusheng, he quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Meiyue's niece and Wusheng's nephew, please sit down, Gu Lang will go and make two cups of good tea!"

Without waiting for Gu Lang's action, Qi Meiyue waved her hand, signaling that he didn't need to, and then showed a complicated face, and said anxiously: "Uncle Gu, you still have the leisure to drink tea here, and your gambling village has caused a lot of trouble!"

When Gu Shanghong heard this, he frowned, and then laughed again, and said: "In this Puzhou City, what trouble can my Gu family get into, my niece is joking with me!"

Qi Meiyue shook her head and was about to speak, but she saw Qi Wusheng take a step forward and said lightly: "Uncle Gu, my father and you are old friends, and the two families usually have a lot of business contacts and have a good relationship, so the little nephew and the eldest sister came to report the news, this time it is really a disaster!"

Gu Shanghong watched this Qi Wusheng grow up since he was a child, and naturally knew that he was not very old, but he was very decent and steady, and he would never joke easily, so he suddenly paid attention to it in his heart, and frowned again: "The old man has lost his words, and he will ask the virtuous nephew to tell me carefully!"

When Gu Shanghong heard that Gao Jie was the nephew of Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, his ruddy face suddenly became iron-blue, and cold sweat dripped down unconsciously, he no longer had his former calm and composure, and walked around the room like an ant on a hot pot, and kept muttering: "What can I do? What can I do? Damn Qingyun, but do you want to kill me?!"

Gu Lang had already heard it clearly on the side, and he also knew that he had offended a big man who even the Gu family couldn't afford to offend today, and he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, like sifting chaff.

Because since the Gu family and Zhizhou Tong sentenced Huang Yong to climb to the relatives, the status of this Puzhou City can be said to be rising, although the silver is not the most, but the background strength is already among the top three of the top ten merchants, in the eyes of Gu Shanghong, there is nothing he can't do in this Puzhou City.

But when he learned that he was messing with Luo Sigong, the fear he had never had before suddenly came to his heart, making him really scared.

Who is Jin Yiwei? That is the most lawless lord, although Luo Sigong has little notoriety after becoming the commander, but it does not mean that he is a person who can be offended. In the cognition of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, they would rather offend a prince and general, and no one would dare to offend the commander of the Jinyi Guard!

Qi Meiyue looked at Gu Shanghong's figure turning back and forth, frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Uncle Gu, you should hurry up and think of a way!"

Gu Shanghong stopped suddenly, looked at Qi Meiyue with bloodshot eyes, and then looked at Qi Wusheng, knelt on the ground with a "plop", clenched his fists and begged: "Virtuous nephew, virtuous niece, you have to save Uncle Gu!"

Qi Meiyue and Qi Wusheng were startled, and quickly helped Gu Shanghong up, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Gu, what are you doing, tormenting the juniors!"

Gu Shanghong hissed and said: "Wusheng, you came with the commander this time, can you help Uncle Gu speak? Our Gu family will depend on you to rescue you, woo woo!"

Qi Wusheng saw Gu Shanghong Lao in tears, and he was immediately at a loss, he rubbed his hands and said: "The little nephew is just a small guard in command, how can he have such a great ability to calm down this incident?

When Gu Shanghong heard this, his body suddenly weakened, and he sat on the ground again.

Seeing this, Qi Meiyue couldn't bear it, and thought about it: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I don't think that Gao Jie Gongzi is a wicked person, and he has no grudge against the Gu family, so there should be room for maneuver in this matter." According to my niece's thoughts, the first thing to do is to release the person quickly, and then think of a remedy!"

Gu Shanghong hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, Meiyue, you are really a smart and good boy, just do as you say!!" He turned his head and yelled at Gu Long, who was still trembling to himself: "Hurry up and send someone to find Yao Zheng and let him release him immediately!"

Gu Lang agreed in a low voice, and stumbled out of the door to make arrangements.

Gu Shanghong finally regained some composure at this time, and he said while thinking, "What should I do next......?" By the way, I'll go to my in-laws and ask him to figure out a way!"

Qi Wusheng nodded and said, "Well, early this morning, the commander summoned Lord Huang to the general judge, and then went out together to deal with the big case of the Wang family's collaboration with the enemy, and I haven't seen him back at dinner." But this time, Lord Huang can be regarded as knowing the commander, and maybe he can save face!"

Gu Shanghong's eyes lit up, and he said continuously: "That's good, that's good, I'll go to my in-laws' house right away...... By the way, what is the big case of the Wang family's collaboration with the enemy? Which Wang family?"

Qi Meiyue sighed and said softly: "It's Wang Quanzhong and their Wang family, yesterday Jinyiwei verified that he colluded with Jinguo Commerce, but I am afraid that he will be beheaded all over the house, and even Lord Zhizhou and Lord Qianhu of the garrison have been implicated." ”

Gu Shanghong listened, his body trembled again, it seems that this Jinyi Wei commander is by no means good at stubble, lightly move his fingers, and take down Lord Zhizhou and Lord Qianhu, a small merchant like himself, isn't it more like an ant in his eyes? ! Whether the Gu family can avoid this difficulty this time depends entirely on the blessing of God!!
