Chapter 184 Let’S Go Back To The City!
After that, Gu Chen and the others wandered around other villages and waited until it started to get dark before heading towards Tanjiang Village.
"Zhang Hu, you bastard, what do you think? Just call the government people here!"
"I'm so fucking blind to you. I thought you were a man before. I'm so fucking blind."
"This Qingshui County magistrate is not a good person at first glance, and you are still walking with them."
"Now the village chief has been arrested, Coyotito has been arrested, and that Erya has also been arrested. I'll see how you explain it to them when the adult comes back."
As soon as he walked into the village, curses immediately came from inside, and then he saw a group of villagers gathered around, punching and kicking a big man.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop! If this continues, people will be beaten to death."
Seeing that Zhang Hu was outnumbered, Zhang Erniu immediately stood in front of him to prevent the villagers from continuing to beat him.
"Bah! Erniu, don't protect this bastard. People like him are so heartless!"
"We in Tanjiang Village can still have enough to eat now, and it's not because of that adult. This bastard even thought about reporting to the official. How fucking cheap!"
"He said it was for our own good, the one who stepped on the horse! He sent the village chief and his family in, and he had the nerve to say it was for our own good!"
Faced with Zhang Erniu's obstruction, the villagers did not dare to take any further action, but they were still extremely angry and excited.
"That guy surnamed Gu doesn't look good at first sight! Besides, the food he put here doesn't belong to us. I made no mistake in reporting it to the government. If the government finds out that he is hiding criminals, we will all suffer in Tanjiang Village, and now I told him in advance, so Mr. Zhou didn't do anything to us." Zhang Hu looked dissatisfied.
He doesn't think what he did was wrong. He has been fighting for the interests of Tanjiang Village from beginning to end. Although the village chief has been arrested now, he will go to the county government to plead with Mr. Zhou and ask Mr. Zhou to release the village chief and others. .
Hearing the quarrel in the distance, Liu Yun drove over immediately, and then Gu Chen slowly got out of the car. He first looked at Zhang Hu who was beaten, and then looked at the group of villagers around him, " What's going on? What happened in the village?"
Nangong Yue, who was in the car, also walked out with a veil on and looked at the farmers with curiosity.
It seems that King Zhuang is quite familiar with these farmers!
At this time, the villagers who were still arguing heard Gu Chen's voice. They all looked behind, with a flash of astonishment on their faces, not knowing how to explain to the other party.
Seeing that they were silent, Gu Chen looked at Zhang Erniu, "Erniu, what do you think? What happened? I just heard you say that someone from the government came over and the village chief was arrested?"
Zhang Erniu hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
"Well, the village chief, Xiaozizi, Erya, and several other villagers were all taken away by the government officials."
Gu Chen's eyes tightened, "What's going on?"
It is impossible for the government to come to a remote place like Tanjiang Village for no reason, unless someone deliberately lures it here.
Some speculations flashed through his mind, but he didn't know if it was what he thought.
Seeing Gu Chen's suddenly sharp eyes, Zhang Erniu did not dare to neglect and explained quickly: "Today, people from the government suddenly came to our village, saying that we were hiding criminals and asked us to hand them over. The village chief originally Those who wanted to explain a few words to the other party's officials were arrested directly, and then they found the warehouse where the grain was stored and took all the grain back."
Gu Chen asked again, "Why did the government suddenly come? I haven't been back for the past few days, so it's impossible to leak my whereabouts!"
After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Hu from the corner of his eye, but he did not have an attack on the spot, but asked as clearly as possible about the situation.
Zhang Erniu glanced at Zhang Hu subconsciously, and then immediately looked away, hesitating whether to say it or not. Zhang Hu on the side also felt guilty and did not dare to look directly at Gu Chen.
"It's all the fault of that bastard Zhang Hu! If it weren't for him, the government officials wouldn't have come here at all, and the village chief and the others wouldn't have been caught!"
Seeing that Zhang Erniu didn't say anything, a rather fiery uncle stood up and shouted loudly.
really!
Gu Chen was not particularly surprised, it was as if it was expected, but the dark pupils in his eyes couldn't help but feel a little colder.
"Go to the warehouse and take a look!" Gu Chen looked at Liu Yun and ordered.
Now, he no longer has any trust in these villagers.
After Liu Yun heard the order, he immediately took a few people to the large warehouse in the village.
Zhang Erniu and other villagers stood there one by one, not daring to raise any objections.
Ten minutes later, Liu Yun rushed back, walked up to Gu Chen, and said: "All the food in the warehouse has been emptied, and there is no trace left."
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, he turned around and got into the car, and ordered: "Let's go back to the city!"
When Nangong Yue saw this, he immediately followed and got into the car.
After a while, the carriage quickly left the village, leaving only the group of villagers standing there and watching.
"Do you want to go find the magistrate of Qingshui County?!"
In the carriage, looking at Gu Chen who said nothing, Nangong Yue expressed his guess.
Gu Chen glanced at the other party and did not answer his question.
Originally, Gu Chen did not plan to directly showdown with the Qingshui County Magistrate and Li Hongxiong. Now that all his food has been stolen by them, Gu Chen cannot sit idly by.
"You have been investigating the situation in various areas of Huzhou during this period. Have you ever thought that once you confess your identity in the past, the magistrate of Qingshui County will find that he has no way out and will inevitably do something crazy."
"He will even attack you at all costs and completely conceal the situation in Huzhou."
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Nangong Yue persuaded him again.
It's not that she cares about Gu Chen's life or death, but she is afraid that the other party will implicate her.
Regarding the current situation in Huzhou, once it is reported to the court, the magistrate of Zhou County will definitely be punished with death. Once a person is forced into a hurry, he can do anything.
No matter if you are a prince or a princess, the other party will dare to kill you.
Gu Chen did not answer her question, but looked at Nangong Yue's face carefully, his eyes were somewhat meaningful.
"Why are you staring at me?! Why don't you turn your head back!"
Seeing the other party's unabashed gaze, Nangong Yue felt inexplicably unnatural and couldn't help but remind him.
At this time, Gu Chen's voice came, "If I remember correctly, you have some friendship with the magistrate of Qingshui County?"
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?!"
But he seemed to be thinking in his heart: Could this bastard want to take advantage of him?
Gu Chen smiled lightly and showed a warm smile, "Nothing, I just want you to do me a favor. As long as you help me make an appointment with the magistrate of Qingshui County, I will handle the other matters."
Nangong Yue was suddenly dissatisfied, "You want me to be a bait?!"
Gu Chen smiled and said: "You and I are on the same boat now. I hope Princess Yun will not refuse my request. And this is just a small thing for you and there will be no danger."
Nangong Yue knew that he couldn't refute, and then said: "I can help you, I want the benefits."
I've already used my body as a lure, so it's not too much to collect some benefits!
"What a benefit!"
Nangong Yue stretched out a finger and pointed at the word "1", "You have to give me one thousand taels of gold when the time comes, otherwise there is no need to talk!"
Gu Chen frowned: "Too many, I promise you three hundred taels at most."
"No, the gold, silver and jewelry you took from my Immortal Guest House back then are worth more than ten thousand taels of gold. I only have one thousand taels which is already very little. If you don't give it, don't even think about asking me for help."
Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds and finally nodded, "Okay, you can keep the accounts yourself and then come to the palace to ask me for money."
"That's about the same."
Nangong Yue smiled knowingly and felt much more comfortable.
In fact, even if the other party refuses to agree to her, there is nothing he can do. He only needs to invite Zhou Zhixian in his own name.
But unexpectedly, he agreed in the end.
so....
Even smart people sometimes become confused.
