Gu Zhengchen left.
Not long after Bu Suanzi left, he returned to the hall and said in a low voice: "Father, Bu Xiu has been taken away."
Bu Shou sat in the chair, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, leaving only frustration and decadence in his limp body.
Years of operation have woven a big net. Over the past few years, no one has been able to break free from the shackles of the net.
Quanzhou Prefecture is under my control!
But when Gu Zhengchen came, he created a terrible hole in this network with his tyrannical attitude. The Bu family tried to repair it again and again, obviously seeing the hope of successful repair, and everything would return to the original path. But no matter who dreams it is, no matter how hard they try, they will ultimately fail.
Instead of tightening the rope and strangling those people, Gu Zhengchen chose to use a butcher knife to chop off the heads one by one.
Now, he seemed to be tired of wielding the butcher knife, and reached out to grab the knot, ready to strangle the Bu family bit by bit!
Bu Xiu's arrest was just the beginning, not the end.
Bu Zhongsheng looked at his father who was calm and calm not long ago. He was now a little frightened and trembling, and he didn't know how to deal with it. He said in panic: "Father, let's withdraw now and leave quickly. Magistrate Gu won't be able to stop us. "
Bu Suanzi shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "It's already getting late. The city gate should be closed at this time. How can we leave? Zhou Yuan and Cai Ye are dead. The government is in Gu Zhengchen's control. No one on guard at the city gate will listen. If we go to call the door at this time, we will definitely alert Gu Zhengchen and the Quanzhou Guards, and we will be overtaken before we get far."
Bu Zhongsheng became anxious and shouted: "Is it possible that we just sit back and wait for death?"
Just when Bu Suanzi was about to speak, Bu Shou raised his hand, patted the handle of the chair, and opened his chapped lips: "The sky won't fall yet! Bu Xiu has already prepared for this day, he will resist everything, Now we need to do three things."
"Father, please speak."
Bu Zhongsheng and Bu Shuzi spoke in unison.
Bu Shou grabbed the crutches, stood up tremblingly, and pushed away Bu Zhongsheng who was trying to help him: "The first thing is that there must be no problem with the Shibo Division line. Tell Tiji Wei Hong that if he is willing to help us, Half of the Bu family’s wealth belongs to him!”
Bu Zhongsheng took a deep breath. The price was indeed high.
However, at the moment of life and death, wealth is no longer important. What really matters is people. As long as people are around, they will be able to make a comeback one day.
The fortune teller was a little worried: "Father, since Magistrate Gu has found the silk and obtained Hu Benmo's account books, it will be a matter of time before he suspects the Shibo Division. Wei Hong knows that Wu Kang, Qin Xin and others were beheaded. At this juncture , he may not go out of his way to help us."
Bu Shou snorted: "Wei Hong is very greedy and lustful, he will definitely help us. Zhongsheng, you do this."
Bu Suanzi frowned.
After watching the execution, why didn't his father leave it to him to run the matter? Why did he suddenly change his mind and choose to leave it to his eldest brother?
Bu Shouxian glanced at the divination operator and continued: "The second thing is the fisherman. The fisherman was originally a line we left in the dark. Now that the Lu brothers are no longer trustworthy, the fisherman may have been exposed. So the fisherman knows We must deal with the matter thoroughly and destroy what should be destroyed without leaving any evidence."
Bu Zhongsheng and Bu Suanzi nodded repeatedly.
Lu Pan and Lu Chang were ordered to deal with Zhang Jiujing, and when they came back they said it was done. As a result, Zhang Jiujing was not only alive and well, but also became Gu Zhengchen's. The Lu brothers disappeared during this period. Obviously, these two people fell into Gu Zhengchen's hands.
It is no longer trustworthy and unavailable.
Unfortunately, the Bu family knew nothing about this and sent the Lu brothers to Luoyang Town to find the fisherman.
Bu Shou walked to the door, looked at the stars at night, and said solemnly: "The third thing is to ask Gao Hui to come back as soon as possible. Jinghai Marquis Wu Zhen is not his father. It is just rude not to express condolences after his death. That's fine." He found countless reasons to shirk it. When my old relatives were in trouble, he had to come back and block it."
Bu Zhongsheng and Bu Suanzi looked at each other.
No, after all, the two families are related by marriage. Her mother's family was bullied by Gu Zhengchen. If you, Gao Hui, don't come, your daughter-in-law will have no father and no grandfather.
Bu Zhongsheng left to arrange various things.
Bu Suanzi walked up to Bu Shou and asked in a low voice: "Father, if I wasn't in charge of the ship division in Quanzhou City, why did I change my eldest brother again?"
Bu Shou turned around, looked at the fortune teller, and said solemnly: "I'm not sure whether I can get away from Shibosi. You know that Gu Zhengchen has endless tricks. We don't know how capable this person is. Shui. Shi Chuxing helped Gu Zhengchen suppress pirates and kill people, so naturally he can also help him control the Shipping Department and a number of ships!"
Bu Suanzi's heart trembled and he said eagerly: "If this is the case, why do you still need me to go to the Shibo Division..."
Bu Shou shook his head helplessly: "Because if Gu Zhengchen stares at Shibosi, we can only do what he wants! Only in this way can you have a chance to leave."
"What does father mean?"
"What do you mean, you should know. The Pu family was separated back then, and it is the same today. I am old, how many years can I survive if I escape? As for your eldest brother, although he has some abilities, he is not smart enough to succeed. It's no big deal. You are the wisest in the Bu family. Take your wife and children with you and prepare to go south by land. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Bu Suanzi looked at his father who had gone through many vicissitudes of life and burst into tears: "Have you really reached this point?"
Bu Shou chuckled and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Bu Suanzi's face: "Now that I think about it, it was my ambition that hurt you all after all. Go ahead and tell Bu Yin that when you miss grandpa, just look at the sea. The surface of the sea The sail on it is my soul..."
My soul is at sea.
I too will die at sea.
Luoyang Town.
There are more than a dozen small boats moored on the pier. On the bow of one small boat, a coir raincoat man sits, quietly holding a fishing rod and looking at the night in trance.
Footsteps were approaching, and the sound of stepping on the planks of the pier disturbed the river.
Lu Pan and Lu Chang looked at each other and got on the boat.
Lu Chang looked at the fisherman and said in a deep voice: "Wu Kang and Qin Xin were killed by Gu Zhengchen, and the Bu family may be in danger. Old man Changyuan sent a message, hoping that the fisherman would take action again, and repeat his old trick to transfer Gu Zhengchen out Jinjiang City.”
The fisherman turned his head and looked at the Lu brothers: "Repeat the old trick? Old man Changyuan really underestimated Gu Zhengchen. With just one move, Gu Zhengchen suspected me, and he criticized me in his words. If he does it again, I'm afraid Unable to help themselves."
Lu Pian snorted: "There are no eggs left unbroken when the nest is overturned."
The fisherman was silent.
The boat has reached the deep sea and there is no shore in sight. Now the ship is going to sink, and indeed no one can survive.
"Shuangxikou, Lin Zhuo's granddaughter Lin Chengyi, kill her and Gu Zhengchen will leave Jinjiang City."
The fisherman stood up, put away the fishing rod, grabbed it with both hands, raised his leg, and slammed the fishing rod against his leg bone.
Click!
The fishing rod broke into two pieces.
The fisherman kicked over the fish basket, and the fish inside dived into the river: "After everything is over, tell Old Man Changyuan that the fishing rod is broken, and there will be no more fisherman from now on."
When the Lu brothers saw this scene, they turned and left.
The fisherman raised his hand and threw the fishing rod into the river.
Go ashore.
The fisherman suddenly stopped and stared at the bamboo forest not far away. There was a figure standing there, shouting: "Who is it?"
The lotus steps are light.
Dressed in black, he came riding on the wind.
"Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you?"
"Yan Sangsang, you are not at Shuangxikou, why are you here?"
Yan Sangsang looked at the fisherman in front of him and shook his head slightly: "I really don't hope it's you."
Li Zongfeng raised his hand and took off the coir raincoat, which was hanging on his back. He looked at Yan Sangsang and said, "I just came out for a walk to relax. It's getting late, why are you here?"
Yan Sangsang pointed to the boat and the Luoyang River: "Before he left Luoyang Town, Gu Zhengchen said that you liked fishing and asked me to follow you secretly to learn how to fish. So, you are fishing and I am learning how to fish."
Li Zongfeng looked solemn and smiled unnaturally and said: "If you want to fish, you can come out and discuss it together. Isn't it appropriate to hide in the dark?"
Yan Sangsang shook his head and asked, "Uncle Li also likes to fish at night, why has he ever fished during the day? You like to hide in the dark night, and I like to hide in the bamboo forest, each other."
Li Zongfeng looked at Yan Sangsang walking over and reached behind him with his right hand. ..??m
Yan Sangsang stared at Li Zongfeng with cold eyes: "I advise you not to have other thoughts, and I don't want to hurt you. If Gu Zhengchen wants to see you, don't make it difficult for me."
The corner of Li Zongfeng's mouth moved slightly: "Go to see Gu Zhengchen? Now is not the time. Yan Sangsang, Lin Chengyi is in danger. If you want to do something for Gu Zhengchen, at least protect Lin Chengyi first."
Yan Sangsang stopped, slowly pulled out the sword, and inserted the scabbard on the ground: "Why should I worry about Lin Chengyi? The Lu brothers will not really go to Shuangxi Kou. Uncle Li, while I can still restrain myself, Killing heart, you'd better come with me, once I take action, I will probably kill you for Lin Zhuo and Lin Chengyi."
"What a loud tone!"
Li Zongfeng moved his wrist, picked up a small crossbow from his waist, and pointed it at Yan Sangsang: "At such a close distance, you can't stop the crossbow arrows!"
Yan Sangsang watched Li Zongfeng remove the clip from the crossbow, and a sharp iron arrow shone in the starlight.
Li Zongfeng lowered the crossbow, hesitated, and sighed: "Everyone has their own difficulties, and it is difficult to be a good person in this world. Yan Sangsang, please go, I have no grudge against you."
Yan Sangsang shook his head: "If I leave, you will point this crossbow at Gu Zhengchen."
Li Zongfeng smiled calmly: "You are overthinking. Even if I face Gu Zhengchen, I will not take action against him. We just have different positions and different difficulties, but we still have one thing in common."
"What?"
"Let the people live a good life!"
"What?"
Yan Sangsang was a little surprised.
Li Zongfeng chuckled: "Have you not noticed that the people in Luoyang Town are much better off than the people in Hui'an County and Jinjiang County? There are no exorbitant taxes and messy corvee here. You don't think that this is something that the government and county government have forgotten. Luoyang Town, right? Gu Zhengchen governs a land with an official position, but I, Li Zongfeng, do not have an official position, so I can only govern this small town with a commoner's body."
"After all, he is the prefect. He doesn't need to look at the faces of so many people, he doesn't need to compromise, and he doesn't need to submit to others. But I can't. For the sake of the people here, I sold my dignity and became a fisherman!"
