Sheng Shi said: "Sister, something big happened to the Lin family!"
Sheng Guoer hurriedly asked Sheng Shi to take her into the Lin house, and there was also a panic scene inside the Lin house.
At this moment, Lin Muyan saw Sheng Guoer coming and waved, "Sister Guoer!"
Sheng Guoer hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mu Yan, weren't you and Xiao Tao in Dongxiang Village? Why are you back?"
Lin Muyan said: "Sister Guo'er, a big shot detained my second brother Lin Mingyuan. The whole family was extremely anxious. My eldest brother Lin Mingsheng went to the township official Zhao Mengfu, and Zhao Mengfu said he couldn't control this person."
Who on earth is so powerful that even the township officials can’t control him!
Lin Mingsheng happened to come out. When he saw Sheng Guo'er, he looked delighted and said, "Guo'er, I found you! I have something to discuss, come here quickly!"
Sheng Guoer nodded, saying that they were all friends, and most of the Sheng family's assets were managed by the Lin family's bank. If something happened to the Lin family, her own property would also be in trouble!
Therefore, after Sheng Guoer and Lin Mingsheng sat down as guest and host, they asked Lin Mingsheng what happened.
Lin Mingsheng sighed and told the whole story.
The imperial court wanted to send an imperial envoy to inspect the governance of each county. The county governor ordered that the entire old city of Ping'an Township be renovated and some old buildings be demolished to prepare for inspection.
At present, only Dongxiang Village and Xifeng Village are the two best spots. The county governor looked for Sheng Guoer but could not find it. He also found that Meng Zhengtang could not manage the east and west villages normally. Under the anger of the county governor, Meng Zhengtang wisely decided to advance the plan. retired.
Fortunately, Sheng Guoer left behind a complete set of management mechanisms, and with the help of Qiu Xue, Xu Shuxin, Ma Chunhua and others, trouble was avoided.
However, this incident aroused the dissatisfaction of a big shot, that is Gao Jingjie, director of the Ping'an Township Construction Department, who is also the largest builder.
Sheng Guoer's country villa was praised by the county governor, which was tantamount to belittling all Gao Jingjie's previous construction achievements.
Therefore, Gao Jingjie found out that the Lin family was Sheng Guoer's largest auxiliary and the main depository of Sheng Guoer's assets, so Gao Jingjie invited Lin Mingyuan to have tea.
But Lin Mingyuan hasn't come back yet!
When Sheng Guoer heard this, she understood that Gao Jingjie thought that she had robbed him of his construction business.
"I heard that the power behind Gao Jingjie is Mr. Wei, and many of the construction projects for Dasheng's army were undertaken by Gao Jingjie."
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that this Gao Jingjie must also be a person with great energy.
It seems that Lord Wei is very powerful locally, especially in Dongliao Prefecture!
Sheng Guoer said: "Don't worry, the person Gao Jingjie is looking for must be me. Don't worry, I will rescue Lin Mingyuan!"
Although Lin Mingsheng was happy when he heard this, he had a worried look on his face: "In this case, you are in the tiger's mouth. If Gao Jing becomes murderous, not even the King of Heaven can save you!"
Gao Jingjie is the largest gang in Ping'an Township. In other words, all four major families will give him some slack.
Sheng Guoer said in her heart that among the four major families, the Zhong family has been acquired by me. The Wang family and the Lin family are friends. Although the Hong family says that member Hong has done many unjust things, on the surface, with Hong Shiqing around, the relationship is relatively stable.
But this Gao Jingjie doesn't sound so easy to mess with.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. How can you know the other party's details if you don't go and find out?
Sheng Guoer pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay. I'll take my husband with me. I don't think anything will happen to Gao Jingjie!"
Lin Mingsheng cupped his hands and said, "Guo'er, thank you very much!"
Sheng Guoer said with a look of shame on her face: "This whole thing happened because of me. The second young master was innocently affected, and I feel sorry for him. The eldest young master should stop being so polite. I should be here to serve you!"
Speaking of this, Sheng Guoer said to Sheng Shi and Lin Muyan: "Although you are young now, you must study hard and practice medical skills. Only in this way can you stand out and we will not be bullied!"
Sheng Shi said excitedly: "Sister, I want to help you!"
Sheng Guoer touched her younger brother's head and said, "Sheng Shi, I trained your ability to do things some time ago. Now I want you to prepare well for the exam. If you can get the top prize, you will be the biggest help to my sister!"
Sheng Shi nodded and said, "Sister, I must get the top prize!"
Sheng Guoer patted Sheng Shi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, there is nothing to do with you and Lin Muyan here. Go back quickly. What's the matter with your sister?"
Sheng Shi nodded and said, "Sister, you must be careful!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "It's okay, your brother-in-law is here too!"
Then, Sheng Guoer entrusted Sheng Shi to the Lin family and took Sheng Yumei back home.
Sheng Yumei was timid, but after experiencing some things, she became brave and said, "Guo'er, sister will go with you!"
Sheng Guoer said: "Sister, they want me. If you go, what if you are detained?"
Sheng Yumei said: "Don't worry, if I don't go in, I'll wait for you at the door. If I can't wait for you, I'll come back to report. It's better than no one reporting!"
Seeing Sheng Yumei's fists with great intention, Sheng Guoer felt a little moved and said: "Okay, then we sisters will go through fire and water together. Sister, on the day I went, you were waiting for me at the door. If I didn't come out in two hours, You should go home quickly and report the news, and ask the township official Zhao Mengfu to find me at Gao Jingjie’s place!"
Sheng Yumei nodded, but said with some worry: "What if Zhao Mengfu doesn't receive me?"
Sheng Guoer thought for a while, took out a brush given by Mr. Xu Weihan, and said, "His son knows this brush. If you take it, say that Mr. Xu asked you to come."
Sheng Yumei took the brush, then held Sheng Guoer's hand and said, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law must be careful!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it!"
In the room, Sheng Guoer talked about this matter with Meng Xingzhou, but Meng Xingzhou disagreed with Sheng Guoer meeting Gao Jingjie immediately.
Meng Xingzhou has also heard about Gao Jingjie's personality, but he doesn't know much about him. The only thing he knows is that in addition to building businesses, he also has shares in other businesses of the four major families. In other words, he is Ping'an Township. The largest underground emperor.
Sheng Guoer said: "Such a powerful person, if we don't go to see him, how can Mr. Lin save him?"
Meng Xingzhou said: "I understand the rules of Dasheng officialdom. You can't meet people like this just when you want. There must be an intermediary to pass the message."
Sheng Guoer was a little confused. She didn't know anyone here who could talk to Gao Jingjie.
When Meng Xingzhou saw Sheng Guoer looking a little embarrassed, he smiled and said, "My wife is so smart for a lifetime, and so confused for a moment!"
Sheng Guoer said angrily: "Don't just say sarcastic words, tell me quickly who can help me?"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Since he belongs to Mr. Wei, I think it is necessary to give Mr. Wei some face to his adopted son. Why don't you go find Zhan Yuzhao?"
Yes, Zhan Yuzhao recommends him, and this person still has a bit of human touch.
Sheng Guoer felt that Meng Xingzhou could always wake her up at critical moments.
Without further ado, Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou went to Zhan Yuzhao's house the next day.
However, there, Sheng Guoer heard the news that Zhan Yuzhao had been exiled and Lord Futai had been dismissed!
"How could this happen?" Sheng Guo'er was surprised and couldn't believe that she had only been away for a few days, how could there be such an earth-shaking change!
It's true that a day in the mountains lasts a thousand years in the world!
It turned out that Lord Wei felt that Zhan Yuzhao had betrayed him by recommending Sheng Guoer, and in a rage, he punished Zhan Yuzhao and exiled him to the border.
Mr. Futai was also affected by this, and the whole family followed Zhan Yuzhao to the border!
Sheng Guoer did not expect such a result. She hurriedly asked: "How long has Zhan Yuzhao been gone?"
One of the servants left behind said, "I've been gone for five days, I guess I've left the Golden Dragon Mansion!"
It seems that he can't catch up, and he doesn't know which route Zhan Yuzhao took. Sheng Guoer was very depressed, wondering why all her friends were implicated.
Will Old Thief Wei want to cut off his own wings first and then deal with himself?
Sheng Guoer thought of the eldest prince of the Dongyuan Empire and broke into a cold sweat.
He taught Tieda Wuzhen to deal with the eldest prince and trapped Kuo Kuo Chu. If the eldest prince was not brought down, and Tieda Wuzhen leaked these things about him, wouldn't Old Thief Wei have something to use?
But there was nothing I could do at the time!
The most important thing now is to rescue Mr. Lin first, but without the middleman, how can we save him?
"May I ask if you are Boss Sheng Guoer Sheng?"
Suddenly, a gentle young man appeared in front of Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou.
Sheng Guoer asked doubtfully: "I am Sheng Guoer, who are you?"
The young man handed over a name card very politely and said: "My master, Mr. Gao Jingjie, would like to invite Boss Sheng and Mr. Meng to come to the house for a chat."
Unexpectedly, Gao Jingjie took the initiative to invite Sheng Guoer.
And Gao Jingjie was very remarkable for knowing that Sheng Guoer was back so quickly.
I thought Gao Jingjie's men would be as rude as Boss Du's men. But I didn't expect that this young man turned out to be fair and handsome, and he was courteous when he spoke.
Meng Xingzhou cupped his hands and said, "May I ask who you are?"
The young man smiled and said: "My name is not worth mentioning. I am a white paper fan (junior military advisor) under Mr. Gao. Can you two just call me Xiaozhuang?"
Sheng Guoer also bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Zhuang, I am being polite!"
Xiaozhuang stepped aside and said: "The carriage is ready, please get on the carriage!"
Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou looked at each other, with a plan in mind, and then got on the carriage.
When the carriage was moving, Xiaozhuang was still smiling, but he didn't say a word.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of a deep house.
Sheng Guoer originally thought that Gao Jingjie's house should be magnificent. You must know that Mr. Du in Xifeng Village has a magnificent residence, which is paved with gold and silver everywhere.
But when she got off the carriage and walked into Gao Jingjie's house under the leadership of Xiaozhuang, Sheng Guoer was a little confused. The place where the underground emperor lived was so unpretentious, elegant and unique that there was not even a single thing in sight. There are carved beams and painted pillars everywhere, not to mention gold and silver objects and luxurious decorations.
Entering the third courtyard, there were only a few servants inside, but Meng Xingzhou could tell from their eyes that these people's martial arts were not low. One of them had a temple with a slight bulge on his forehead. At first glance, he was a master with extremely profound internal skills. !
Sheng Guoer looked at the entire atmosphere.
The feeling that Gao Mansion gave her was that it had an unfathomable meaning.
At this moment, an old man came out and said, "Xiaozhuang, have you invited the guests?"
Xiaozhuang stepped forward, bowed and said, "Mr. Lu, Boss Sheng and Mr. Meng are here."
The old man surnamed Lu walked down the steps with a smile. He bowed from afar and said: "I have heard the name of Boss Sheng for a long time, and it is like thunder to my ears. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. Please, please come into the room to talk. Mr. Gao is still practicing calligraphy and will be here soon." See you two."
Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou also returned the gift politely.
Entering the main hall, the maids served tea.
Mr. Lu said with a smile: "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. Xiaozhuang will entertain you later!"
Sheng Guoer stood up and said, "You are busy, you are busy!"
About an hour after Mr. Lu left, Sheng Guoer still didn't see Gao Jingjie.
"Mr. Gao has to practice calligraphy for three hours every day. This is his habit. Please be patient for a moment."
Xiaozhuang said calmly.
However, Sheng Guoer felt that Gao Jingjie's performance was big enough. Since he was invited, why not receive him personally? Isn't this a joke?
Meng Xingzhou saw the displeasure on Sheng Guoer's face and reminded him in a low voice: "Guoer, Mr. Lu just now is considered the middleman!"
After hearing this, Sheng Guoer suddenly realized that according to the rules here, Gao Jingjie had already given Sheng Guoer face.
After another hour, Xiaozhuang got up and went to the inner hall.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a pale face walked out with a dignified look and a calm expression.
