Escape?
Li He and Liang Bin trembled, wondering why Liu Xian made such a move.
Liang Bin stepped forward, stretched out his hand to stop Liu Xian who was about to leave, and asked eagerly: "Brother Liu, why is this happening?"
Liu Xian pushed Liang Bin's arm away and said heavily, "Brother Li, Brother Liang, because of our many years of friendship, I would like to warn you, never offend Magistrate Gu!"
Li He and Liang Bin's expressions changed.
Liu Xian turned around, looked at his wife and daughter, and warned: "I will go out to do business for three years and come back in three years. During this period, the family will be entrusted to you."
Regardless of his wife and daughter's pleas to stay, Liu Xian resolutely walked out. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a carriage approaching slowly. The curtains of the carriage were raised. Chen Zhongzheng, the former historian, looked at Liu Xian and asked with deep eyes: "What, are you trying to escape?"
"Chen Dianshi."
Li He and Liang Bin came out to salute.
Chen Zhong shook his head slightly: "Don't call me Chen Dianshi anymore. I have left the county government and am now a commoner."
Li He and Liang Bin were very sorry to see Chen Zhong leave. He was a man of great integrity and had to take care of him for many years, so they could live a comfortable life.
Chen Zhong looked at Liu Xian, who looked blank, and smiled: "You don't seem to be surprised at all by my leaving?"
Liu Xian's eyes were full of fear and he shook his head slightly: "Chen Dianshi, everyone underestimates Gu Zhengchen. No one in Jurong can be his opponent! Don't be his enemy again, and don't think about returning to the county government again. , stop now, go away, there is still a glimmer of hope, if it is too late, everyone will die!"
Chen Zhong's face was stern, while Li He and Liang Bin looked at each other in shock.
Isn't Gu Zhengchen just an ordinary person? Who could be standing behind him to make Liu Xian say such a thing?
Chen Zhong put down the curtain, walked out of the carriage, came to Liu Xian, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you hear in Jinling?"
Liu Xian smiled unnaturally: "What did you hear? Ha, I'm not afraid to tell you. I arrived at Jinling and the Yushitai, and even handed in the documents!"
"Then what?"
Li He asked eagerly.
Liu Xian ignored Li He and looked at Chen Zhong: "When the supervisory censor heard that he was reporting Gu Zhengchen, the magistrate of Jurong County, his face changed drastically. He took the document to the censor doctor Chen Ning. Chen Ning ordered someone to hand over the document. Go back and drive me out of the Yushitai!"
"What?"
Chen Zhong, Li He and Liang Bin were shocked.
Liu Xian clenched his fists and seemed to be trying to gather his courage: "Later, someone said bluntly that if I send another document exposing Gu Zhengchen's illegal activities, I will die! It can be seen that the person standing behind Gu Zhengchen is the imperial censor Chen Ning Chen soldering iron!”
"this……"
Chen Zhong opened his mouth, and Li He and Liang Bin trembled a little.
Liu Xian thought of Gu Zhengchen's face with a warm smile and couldn't help but shudder. Who is Chen Dietie and what are his methods?
He is a torturer and a ruthless person. As early as when he was the prefect of Suzhou, he was famous all over the world. He dared to use a hot iron to force the people to hand over food!
How could Gu Zhengchen, who was valued and supported by Chen Ning, be gentle in his methods?
Birds of a feather flock together!
No, all Gu Zhengchen's peace is just disguised. He must have a violent side and an unscrupulous side!
Li He looked pale and worried: "I heard that when the government officials arrested Guo Jie, they broke off several hands, and even Guo Jie was almost beaten to death! Are there such powerful government officials in the county government?"
Chen Zhong took a deep breath: "There are two unidentified people around Gu Zhengchen. One stayed at the magistrate's house and didn't know what he was doing all day long. The other was a yamen servant named Yao Zhen. I heard that he was at the chrysanthemum banquet. Move your hands.”
Liu Xian smiled bitterly: "Chen Dianshi, you know the Guo family's thugs. You don't dare to fight five of them. It's easy to deal with two government officials. But it is such a tyrannical Guo family, at Master Guo Liu's chrysanthemum banquet, Who would have dared to believe that Gu Zhengchen had no one to rely on to arrest people? He must have known that no matter how big a disturbance was caused in Jurong, no one could do anything to him."
Chen Zhong wiped his cold sweat, turned back to the carriage, and said to the driver: "Go home and pack your luggage right away. I want to leave Jurong first."
Damn it, the people Chen Brandie protects cannot afford to offend.
I heard that Chen Ning and Hu Weiyong have a close relationship. So, Gu Zhengchen is not only a person of Chen Ning, but also a person of Prime Minister Hu?
No more fun!
It’s not enough for me to leave!
Chen Zhong was afraid. He originally thought that Gu Zhengchen had no background and foundation, but who could have imagined that he had a deep foundation!
No matter whether Zhengchen has the means or not, no one can compete with him just based on his background!
Upon seeing this, Li He and Liang Bin went home respectively, but were soon taken to Guo's house.
Guo Dian, Guo Shan and Guo Liu are all there.
Li He and Liang Bin were absent-minded and wanted to talk, but were interrupted by Guo Shan and asked An Xin to wait. The two of them didn't know what they were waiting for until they saw Liu Xian being brought over.
The Guo family is a local snake in Jurong, so it is easy to stop someone who wants to leave.
Several old people were there, so Guo Sheng had no choice but to lower his hands, looked at Liu Xian, and said sternly: "Tell me everything you saw and heard in Jinling without saying a word."
Liu Xian knew the power and methods of the Guo family, so he told the story exactly.
Guo Dian didn't say anything from beginning to end, just listened quietly. It wasn't until Liu Xian finished that he moved his crutch and said with a smile: "It seems that our new county magistrate is not simple."
Guo Shan frowned and asked Liu Xian: "What you just said was that after the censor heard about the document that exposed Gu Zhengchen, his face changed drastically. Was it panic?"
Liu Xian nodded: "Yes, it's panic!"
Guo Shan looked at Guo Dian and smiled: "Brother, what do you think?"
Guo Dian raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly: "You are still thoughtful. If Gu Zhengchen is really the person of Chen Ning, the censor, then the censor will not be panicked after hearing this. After taking it, he will not press the memorial. , let alone send someone to threaten again."
Guo Shan narrowed his eyes: "This makes Gu Zhengchen even more terrifying."
Guo Liu was a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Second brother, eldest brother, why can't I understand? Since Gu Zhengchen is not Chen Ning's person, why are you threatening Liu Xian to prevent him from exposing Gu Zhengchen's illegal activities?"
Guo Dian chuckled and looked at Guo Shan: "Come on."
Guo Shan sighed: "Lao Liu, Chen Ning is a person who must retaliate for his actions. To deal with disobedient people, he must be eliminated quickly and cruelly. If the censor is a little panicked when he hears Gu Zhengchen's name, and Chen Ning is unwilling to come forward, Impeaching this person, and not even wanting to see the document of impeaching this person appear, can only mean one thing!"
"What's the matter?"
Guo Liu asked sideways.
Guo Shan's face became solemn: "Ming, Gu Zhengchen once made Chen Ning suffer, and it was a huge loss!"
"What?"
Guo Liu took a deep breath.
Liu Xian was shocked.
Li He and Liang Bin looked at each other, what's the difference between these guys, they might as well be Chen Ning's people! Chen Ning is the chief of Yushitai and a close confidant of Hu Xiang. He is afraid and does not want to provoke Gu Zhengchen. Who are we? We actually go against him again and again.
This is not an act of rebellion, this is an act of seeking death!
Guo Dian smiled and said lightly: "Although I don't know how Gu Zhengchen made Chen Ning suffer, it is certain that if he was completely sure, Chen Ning would definitely put Gu Zhengchen to death! Last time Gu Zhengchen pretended to be the emperor. Paying wages to the people who work for the corvee, and this time Gu Zhengchen also raised money to raise money, in Chen Ning’s eyes, maybe these are not enough to get rid of Gu Zhengchen!"
Guo Shan smiled: "That's true."
Guo Dian stood up, took two steps, and said calmly: "If it doesn't collapse, if it does collapse, someone will repair it, and they will run away in a hurry one by one. Haha, it's embarrassing. Jurong is your home, where can you escape to?" Son, I’ll leave the rest of the matter to you, discuss it with your second uncle, and don’t let Magistrate Gu stretch his hand too far.”
Guo Sheng quickly agreed.
Jurong County Government Office, Second Hall.
Xu Wen, the medical officer of Huimin Pharmacy, opened a pack of Chinese medicine, carefully sorted and classified it, compared it with the prescription written by Guo Ning, and after checking it clearly, he said to Gu Zhengchen: "Your Majesty, this prescription is indeed good for nourishing qi and lungs." There is nothing wrong with it. It’s just..."
Seeing Xu Wen's eyes looking back and forth between the prescription and the Chinese medicine on the table, Gu Zhengchen couldn't help but ask, "Just what?"
Xu Wen pointed at the prescription and frowned: "Your Majesty, this prescription contains three qian of Zhigancao, but there is no Zhigancao in this packet of Chinese medicine."
Gu Zhengchen walked over, looked at the prescription, then looked at the medicinal materials divided into categories, and couldn't help but frown: "Are you sure?"
Xu Wen nodded seriously, compared the prescription, and pointed to the medicinal materials on the table: "County Master, look, this is Astragalus, this is Atractylodes, Fangfeng... except the licorice."
Gu Zhengchen waved his hand and ordered someone to fetch the other two packages of Chinese medicine, opened them all, and sorted the medicinal materials together with Xu Wen.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Wen said inexplicably: "This is strange. Zhigancao is mainly used to treat the effects of warming and lowering Qi, irritability and shortness of breath, cough due to injury to the organs, dredging the meridians, and benefiting Qi and blood. In this prescription, it is regarded as a monarch medicine, not an adjunct." Medicine is indispensable, so why is this medicine missing? There must be something wrong."
Gu Zhengchen's eyes were slightly cold: "That's right!"
"ah?"
Xu Wen was a little surprised.
One thing that had been bothering Gu Zhengchen was finally solved at this moment. Gu Zhengchen looked at Xu Wen and asked, "If your mother gets seriously ill at night and you take medicine at the pharmacy, what will you do next?"
Xu Wen looked at Gu Zhengchen in confusion: "Of course I'll go home and cook the medicine..."
"Yes, just go home and cook medicine! But if you meet someone on the way and talk to you, reminisce about old times, and have a conversation, what will you do?"
Gu Zhengchen's eyes flashed with stars.
Xu Wen's brows moved slightly: "My mother is seriously ill, so I can't delay for a moment, just say a few hasty words, and go home to boil the medicine."
Gu Zhengchen nodded heavily.
Yes, this is a normal reaction.
The old lady fell on the bed, and Sun Erkou was a filial man. He went to ask the doctor and get medicine in the middle of the night. He couldn't just stop on the way back and delay it for too long.
But by chance, Sun Erkou stopped at the Jiehe Bridge, and stayed for a long time, so that when he was bored, he stacked the Chinese medicine bags together!
Stacking Chinese medicine bags shows that Sun Erkou was sitting on the stone steps of the bridge at that time.
How could a person rushing home sit on a bridge?
Ming Sun Er's mouth was waiting for someone, but the person he was waiting for was not in front of him, but for some reason, Sun Er's mouth had to wait on the spot.
Let me ask, in the dark of night, when the old mother is seriously ill, who can make a filial son stop and sit on the bridge to wait for someone?
The answer is ready!
