Seeing that the old man was going to the government office, the old housekeeper beside him became a little anxious and stretched out his hand to persuade the old man.
Seeing the old housekeeper's actions, the old man not only became more anxious, but also showed a bit of anger on his face.
"Get out of the way." The old man said.
Looking at the sky outside the window, the old housekeeper was worried that the old man would do something big, so he advised him: "Master, it's almost getting dark, so we might as well go before we know it."
Before the old butler could finish what he said, the old man's face was already very anxious and he said: "Go again tomorrow? If you wait until tomorrow, it will be too late. If you can't think of anything by then, why don't you let me go?" What should I do, young master? What should I do?" After saying this, the old man stubbornly stood up and left.
Shoudai on the side saw the old man looking like this but did not stop him and stood aside and watched.
As for the old butler, he has followed the old man for many years, and the two have a very good relationship. Although the young master's safety is still unknown, the old butler pays more attention to the old man's health.
Seeing that the old housekeeper was still blocking him, the old man looked at the old housekeeper angrily: "Why are you stopping me? If I don't go to this government office, how will Hu'er come out?!" After saying this, the old man pushed with all his strength. He opened the hand that the old housekeeper had stopped, walked to the side, picked up the wooden crutch, and walked out with the crutch.
Seeing the old man like this, Shoutai said nothing and did nothing.
The old housekeeper on the side looked at the old man's actions and knew that he could no longer persuade him. He looked at Shoudai on the side and ordered: "I will accompany the old man. If we are not here, you can take good care of this house."
Shoutai responded: "Okay."
Seeing that Shoutai agreed, the old housekeeper didn't say anything more and hurriedly followed him.
Don't look at the old man walking slowly with a cane at ordinary times. At critical moments, he walked quite fast, and the old housekeeper almost couldn't catch up.
Fortunately, the old housekeeper was still in good health. After walking out of the house for a short time, he saw the old man's figure, but he still couldn't catch up.
Seeing the old housekeeper catching up, the old man hurriedly quickened his pace.
Seeing that the old man was walking faster on this road, the old housekeeper had to speed up his pace.
However, as soon as the old butler quickened his pace, the old man quickened his pace again.
Good guy, we have a tacit understanding very well.
Finally, the old housekeeper couldn't catch up, so he shouted: "Master, wait a minute! I'll go with you!"
Hearing these words, the old man's footsteps slowed down, allowing the old housekeeper to catch up.
Seeing that the old housekeeper stopped trying to persuade him, the old man continued walking towards the government office.
The old housekeeper supported the master at the side, and the two of them headed towards the government office.
Along the way, even though it was already dark, the people on the street had not dispersed yet. Some people were shopping at the night market, and some were going out at night.

Take a relaxing walk.
Soon, the shadow of the government office was seen.
However, outside the government office, the two of them were stopped by a brother from the government office.
"No one is allowed to enter," a brother from the government office said.
After hearing this, thinking about his only son Su Hu, the old man said anxiously: "Please let me know to the prefect that I have something important to see."
Seeing the anxious faces of the two people in front of him, the yamen brother agreed: "Okay, wait a minute." After saying that, the yamen hurriedly walked towards the government office.
At this time, Magistrate Gu and Yuan Chuang were discussing something, and brother Yamen hurried in.
Seeing that Yuan Chuang, the servant of the prefect, was also here, brother Yamen looked towards the prefect Gu Jiantong with a face on his face.
"No problem, tell me, what's the matter?" Magistrate Gu asked.
"Go back to the magistrate. There are two people outside the government office who want to see you." Brother Yamen replied.
"See me? But who?" Magistrate Gu asked.
Brother Yamen: "It seems to be Mr. Su from Su's cloth shop and his housekeeper."
After listening to these words, Magistrate Gu thought for a moment, looked at the yamen servant, and said: "I understand, let them come in."
"yes."
Watching the yamen officer walk away, the two men had not yet arrived. The servant Yuan Chuang asked: "Master, it's so late, what is he doing here?"
Hearing the words of the servant Yuan Chuang, the prefect Gu Jiantong smiled slightly: "We have just arrested someone. This family member has been arrested. Who would not be worried? Naturally, they came to ask me for questioning."
Seeing the two people walking towards this side, servant Yuan Chuangdao said: "Master, can you please get out of the way?"
Magistrate Gu smiled slightly: "No, just stand aside and listen."
"Okay." After responding, Yuan Chuang hurriedly stood aside as he watched the two people getting closer and closer.
After bringing the person there, the Yamen Brother said: "Prefect."
"Go down."
"yes."
At this time, there was no trace of smile on the face of the prefect Gu Jiantong, and his face was full of seriousness.
"Su Tong, a common man, has met Magistrate Gu." The old man bowed.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Magistrate Gu."
After seeing Su Tong, the old man of Su's cloth shop, getting up, the prefect Gu Jiantong asked knowingly: "What do you want to see me for?"
Looking at the people around him, the old man was so anxious that he hurriedly reorganized his words in his heart.
Seeing that Su Tong didn't say anything, the prefect Gu Jiantong thought it was because of the servant Yuan Chuang beside him, and said, "It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
After a while, Comrade Su came over and said: "The grassroots people came here this time because of Su Hu's
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
thing. I dare to ask Magistrate Gu, what mistake did Su Hu, the grassroots dog son, make to get caught? "
Listening to this question, it turns out that before the plan was implemented, the prefect Gu Jiantong had already thought of a way to deal with it.
Seeing this, Magistrate Gu looked sad, sighed, picked up the cup of tea on the table, took a sip, put it down, and said with a look of sympathy: "Your dog is kept at the port with overseas." Do you know that merchants hand over goods?"
The old man Su Tong nodded and looked at the prefect Gu Jiantong with an unknown face.
Magistrate Gu then said: "This violates the sea ban. Shouldn't I be arrested?"
Hearing these words, the old man Su Tong in front of him and the old housekeeper beside him were a little shocked.
The old man Su Tong was also very puzzled and asked: "Wasn't this sea ban lifted a few days ago?"
Magistrate Gu smiled slightly and said, "That's ridiculous, who told you it was cancelled?" After saying this, he picked up the tea cup on the table and started drinking.
This time, the old man was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He clearly remembered that the sea ban was cancelled.
After thinking for a moment, the old man said: "The news of the lifting of the sea ban is clear to the common people, and there must be no mistake."
Seeing Su Tong's appearance, Magistrate Gu smiled and said, "Have you never heard of the saying 'hearing is false, seeing is believing'? You said it too, and you heard it clearly, but Did you see it written somewhere?”
When Magistrate Gu said this, the old man didn't know how to refute. I stood on the ground, unable to think of a word for a long time.
Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Magistrate Gu said: "Okay. You can go back and don't interfere with my official business."
Hearing this, when the old man was anxious to say something, Yuan Chuang, a servant of Magistrate Gu, came over.
"Okay, you guys go back. Magistrate Gu has business to do." Yuan Chuang urged.
Before the old man Su Tong could say a word or salute, he and the old housekeeper were kicked out of the room.
Seeing that there was no basis for this and that his words were of no use, the old man Su Tong sighed and had no choice but to leave the Yamen with his cane and the old housekeeper.
On the way back, thinking about what the prefect Gu Jiantong said, the old man Su Tong asked the old housekeeper beside him in disbelief: "Is it true that the sea ban has not been lifted yet?"
Hearing the master's words, after thinking for a moment, the old housekeeper said firmly: "Sir, I heard the news of the lifting of the sea ban clearly. Why did the prefect say it has not been lifted?"
The old man Su Tong sighed: "In today's world, you don't even know whether a piece of news is true or false. If what the prefect said is true and the sea ban has not been lifted, how can hundreds of people in the Su family survive? , how can the Su family's cloth shop be opened? It seems like the whole family will be killed for violating the sea ban, right?"
Listening to the old man talking to himself, the old housekeeper on the side comforted him: "Master, don't worry, there must be something wrong."
