Gao Hui's desperate eyes were filled with confusion, and Bu Shou, who had always been conceited, chatting and laughing, finally started to tremble.
Wei Hong couldn't believe it and was terrified.
Chu Xing stared at Gu Zhengchen, smiled slightly, then stopped.
Lin Baifan was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Zhengchen, a civil servant, was so strong that he even dared to participate in provincial politics. Zhang He, the famous commander of Xinghua Guard, was not allowed to leave at the end.
Gu Zhengchen didn't pay attention to the strange looks from everyone, walked towards Gao Hui, and said coldly: "Those who are good at chess plan for the future, and those who are good at strategizing will go far. When the momentum is far away, it will be calm. When the momentum is close, it will be shocking. Gao Shenzheng , you stepped on me the first two times, but I chose to give in and settle the matter. But you shouldn’t think of stepping on me a third time! It’s my principle as a person that things don’t come close to the same thing.”
"Since you are here and have used all available means to send me away, I'm sorry, but I will also use all available means to keep you here and uproot the Bu family! The night in Quanzhou Prefecture has been dark for too long. , this is not the far north, there is no polar night, it’s time to liquidate and return Quanzhou Prefecture to a bright world!"
Gao Hui stared at Gu Zhengchen, his teeth chattering slightly, and asked: "What method did you use to force Zhang He back?"
Gu Zhengchen laughed and shook his head: "Gao Shenzheng, if you are trapped in Quanzhou Mansion, who will take action to get you out? When this hand arrives, I can tell you the reason why Commander Zhang left. Now not the right time yet."
Gao Hui's expression changed.
Obviously, Gu Zhengchen not only wanted to pull himself off the sedan, but also wanted to pull others!
Gu Zhengchen looked at Bu Shou: "As you expected, catching you is indeed a problem. But once the trouble is solved, everything is over, isn't it? I really want to know, besides Gao Hui, what else can you give me? How much trouble it creates.”
Bu Shou couldn't say a word.
I overestimated Gu Zhengchen as much as possible, spent all my efforts, and sacrificed many chess pieces. I thought I was sure of victory, but in the end, I fell into the abyss.
Gu Zhengchen turned sideways and looked at Wei Hong: "Before coming to Quanzhou Prefecture, His Majesty gave a special order to investigate the murder case of Zhao Yihui from the Shipping Department. In other words, the Quanzhou Prefecture has the right to detain and interrogate all persons involved in the case from the Shipping Department. . You can write to the provincial government office to inquire, or you can send a document to the Ministry of Punishments or the Zhongshu officials."
"Zhao Yihui?!"
Wei Hong's heart trembled slightly.
Gu Zhengchen looked at Qin Song, Mei Hong and others and ordered: "Send them to the prison cell of the government office."
Qin Song and others took the order.
Gu Zhengchen turned to look at Chu Xing, cupped his hands and said: "The successful capture of Bu Shou and Wei Hong this time is all thanks to the assistance of the navy. When the internal affairs of the government are over, I will definitely come to Quanzhou Port again. Thank you all."
Chu Xing even said he didn't dare.
Meng Wanli was also in awe of Gu Zhengchen. Even a fierce man like Zhang He bowed his head. He didn't know what methods he used. He had better be careful and never offend him.
Gu Zhengchen walked out of the pier and looked back at the port and the sea in the distance. The stars were scattered and the silver glow was endless.
Lin Baifan asked: "Prefect Gu, can you go back to the government office?"
Gu Zhengchen shook his head: "Let's go to Jingming Villa and lead the way."
Lin Baifan nodded slightly and led the way.
Jingming Villa is located halfway between Quanzhou Port and Jinjiang City. It is five miles away and the distance is appropriate. It is convenient not only to transfer goods from the government office, but also to transfer goods from Jingming Villa to the port.
The villa is located in the mountains and forests and is quite secretive. If Zhang Jiujing had not provided information, it would not have been easy to discover this place.
Yu Siye led the sergeant to be busy, and they also found hidden cellars and secret rooms, and found many rare treasures. While he was admiring a blood-red gem the size of an egg in his hand, the sergeant ran over and announced: "Gu The prefect is here."
"finally come."
Yu Siye threw the gem in the box, ordered someone to take a look at it, and went out to meet Gu Zhengchen.
Gu Zhengchen looked at the plaque of Jingming Villa and ordered coldly: "Take off this plaque."
All the sergeants of the Quanzhou Guard knew that Gu Zhengchen had ordered to kill Zhou Yuan and Qianhu Caiye, and to control the officials of the Quanzhou Guard. Who would dare to disobey...
Yu Siye hurried over and saluted, "I've met Magistrate Gu."
Gu Zhengchen returned the courtesy: "Yu Qianhu, have you taken a clear inventory of this villa?"
Yu Siye invited Gu Zhengchen in and said: "This villa seems to have been built for many years and was not built after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After a preliminary inventory of the warehouse and some goods, this morning, the sergeant discovered some secret rooms and cellars. Now This part of the goods is being inventoried."
Gu Zhengchen entered the main courtyard, entered the room, sat down, pointed at a few boxes and asked, "What's in here?"
Yu Shine opened a box, which contained colorful gems: "These should be gems from overseas, but I don't know how many years they have been hidden. The box where the gems were found was rotten. It seems that Bu Shou didn't know about this secret room." The presence."
Gu Zhengchen looked at the blood-red gem on the top and couldn't help but get up and walk over. He picked it up and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This gem is good. It is the best without carving. I took it and gave it as a gift. Let's record it in the account."
Yu Siye chuckled: "This box has not been cataloged yet. Magistrate Gu, why don't you take a look at the other gems?"
Gu Zhengchen looked at the sensible Yu Siye and shook his head: "According to the accounting, this gem was not given to anyone else, but to the Prince of the East Palace."
"The prince probably doesn't like this gem..."
"Silly, the Crown Prince can give it to the Crown Princess. Do you know that the Crown Princess is expecting a baby in October, and she will probably give birth to a grandson this month. The Crown Prince doesn't know how to be charming, so we always need to help him..."
"Imperial grandson?"
Yu Siye was overjoyed. If Ming Dynasty really had an imperial grandson, then the foundation of the third generation would have been established, which would be a great thing for Ming Dynasty.
There was sadness in Gu Zhengchen's eyebrows.
Whether Zhu Biao can live a long life and whether Zhu Xiongying can avoid death are unknown.
Continuous reform requires these two people to survive. If these two people were no longer around, it would be difficult for him to support Zhu Yunwen.
The civil servants Zhu Yunwen trusted were Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru and others. They liked old things and were not interested in new things like reform. And the military commander he trusted was the handsome "God of War" level guy Li Jinglong...
Shaked his head.
Gu Zhengchen withdrew his thoughts. It was still early for the future and he had time to change it. The most important thing at the moment was the affairs of Quanzhou Mansion.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Zhengchen lowered his head and saw that Yu Siye had packed a lot of treasures, and couldn't help but ask.
Yu Siye hurriedly said: "There is a joy in the palace, and sending all these treasures here will further show the closeness between Gu Zhifu and the East Palace..."
"roll!"
Gu Zhengchen raised his foot but didn't hit anyone. Yu Siye had already laughed and avoided it.
This guy, it's a good thing to give one gift, but it's not embarrassing to give a bunch of them. Besides, wouldn't giving so many gems become something not precious? How can you express your feelings?
The most important thing is that this thing needs to be exchanged for money. In exchange for a large amount of money and food, it will all be given to Zhu Biao. What will the people of Quanzhou Prefecture eat?
Gu Zhengchen sat down and looked through the account books.
Looking at the astonishing amounts in the accounts, Gu Zhengchen was speechless.
The subtle fragrance floats.
Gu Zhengchen frowned slightly, raised his head and looked up, and saw young women with beautiful faces filing in. Each one had a good appearance and a good temperament.
Yu Siye said to Gu Zhengchen: "Prefect Gu, these are all captive girls of the Bu family. The youngest is twelve years old and the oldest is twenty. How should we deal with them?"
Gu Zhengchen glanced at it for a few times, then lowered his head and continued to look through the account books. He gave instructions to Siye: "Withdraw a thousand coins from the account of the villa and distribute them to them. Ask them about their place of origin and send them a document to explain the situation. Let them return home and meet them." Parents and families reunited.”
All the women burst into tears of gratitude and thanked him one after another.
Yu Siye was a little amazed at Gu Zhengchen's will. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, but he was not tempted by so many beauties. He only glanced at them lightly and let them go.
"Let's go."
Yu Siye waved his hand to let these beauties exit.
"Why don't you leave?"
Yu Shine saw other women leaving, but only one woman had no intention of leaving.
Gu Zhengchen looked up.
The woman suddenly knelt down, clutching the skirt on her knees with both hands, and cried: "The little girl has nowhere to go, and no family in the world. Please take care of me, Magistrate Gu. Baili Yao is willing to be a cow." The horse returns the favor!”
"Bailiyao?"
Gu Zhengchen tasted the name Pin and asked, "Where is your family from?"
"A surname from Liugong Island, Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province."
"Dengzhou Prefecture?"
Gu Zhengchen stared, stood up and walked out: "Speak carefully."
A look of pain appeared on Baili Yao's face: "My parents were fishermen and were killed by pirates when I was eight years old. The pirates landed on Liugong Island and massacred the entire village, killing me and more than 20 women. The woman plundered and went to sea. After wandering on the sea for a long time, I came ashore again and I was sent here. Two sisters were also here, but they left later."
"leave?"
"It was given away by people from the Bu family."
Gu Zhengchen looked at Baili Yao who was bowing his head and realized that the Bu family controlled the officialdom of Quanzhou Prefecture with nothing more than money, sex, prestige and favor.
Baili Yao bent down and kowtowed: "I have no family to rely on, and I have no relatives to seek refuge with. I voluntarily turned into a slave and served you as a repayment for saving my life. I just want a place to stay."
Gu Zhengchen looked at Yu Siye: "Give her thirty dollars."
Yu Siye ordered people to pick it up.
Gu Zhengchen said to Baili Yao: "From now on, you are free. No one is your master, and no one can send you away. You can use these thirty pieces of money to find a place to live in Quanzhou Mansion." Save your money, it will be enough for you to live for several years and find a good man."
"I want to follow Magistrate Gu..."
"unnecessary."
Gu Zhengchen flatly refused.
The fact that Li Zongfeng was a fisherman told Gu Zhengchen that things in the world may not be as simple as they first seemed. In a quagmire like Quanzhou Prefecture, it is best to leave as few people with unknown identities and unclear details around you.
After Baili Yao left, Gu Zhengchen looked at Yu Siye: "After the inventory is completed tomorrow, all the goods will be sent to the government office. In addition, after you return to Quanzhou Guard, you will discuss with Commander Huang and his colleagues to select three hundred elites from the guard camp. I may use it at any time, brothers who fight against water and have water properties.”
