Butler Li always believed that another trip to Gu Long's village was a complete waste of time.
After the officers and soldiers arrived, they would definitely burn Gu Long to death to avoid future trouble.
If a plague really breaks out near E County, the county magistrate of E County will not only lose his hat, he may even lose his head.
But after all, Zhou Zhengguang still had the final say in the Zhou family, so Butler Li could only take Li San and dozens of servants with him to the Gu family.
From a distance, Butler Li's expression changed, "How come Gu Long's house is still in good condition?"
"And there seem to be about ten people in the courtyard?"
"How is this going!"
Zhou Zhengguang also felt a chill on his back and hurriedly asked the sedan to go faster.
The servants carrying the sedan sped up.
The group of people soon arrived outside the gate of the Gu family.
Seeing that it was Master Zhou's sedan, Zhang Xiaoyan and others had to get up to greet him even though they were officers and soldiers of the Yamen.
"I've met Mr. Zhou!"
Zhang Xiaoyan hadn't eaten until now. She was so hungry that she felt light-headed and heavy-footed. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
Zhou Zhengguang's face was full of bewilderment, and Butler Li couldn't wait to ask: "Zhang Xiaoyan, what's going on?"
"Didn't I report to you that the three members of the Gu family are suffering from smallpox?"
"You also brought so many wine barrels. Why are more than ten of you sitting in the courtyard, and the people who are carrying the wine barrels are still lying outside? What on earth is going on!"
Zhang Xiaoyan looked helpless and told the whole story.
After hearing this, Butler Li was extremely shocked, "You mean, that kid doesn't seem to have any symptoms yet?"
"Just a slight fever?"
"How is this possible! The patient was seriously ill for many days that day and stayed at their home for a long time. It's impossible!"
Zhang Xiaoyan also bit her lip and sighed helplessly, "I also hope this is fake."
"However, all this is true, what can I do?"
"Butler Li, please think of a way to save me and wait for me to get out. I don't want to die trapped here!"
Butler Li was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, Zhou Zhengguang's expression became very ugly, "Old Li Tou, I have told you before that Mr. Gu is not easy to deal with, but you refuse to listen to me and must put Mr. Gu to death."
"It's better now. Mr. Gu is indeed a god. He doesn't even show any signs of illness!"
"If you bring things to this level, let me see how you end it!"
While several people were talking, Gu Long walked out with some steamed buns that Liu Qing'er had just made.
While eating the steamed buns, he looked at everyone present. When he saw Butler Li, his expression was immediately startled, "Hey, isn't this Butler Li? If I guessed correctly, it was you who stuffed smallpox patients into my closet. Right?"
"They tried to make me catch smallpox and die. After seeing that I was fine, they sent people from the government office to come and burn me to death."
"Steward Li, you have such a big plan. If you become the housekeeper of the Zhou family, you are really undermining your talents. A capable person like you should work as an adviser to the emperor!"
Listening to Gu Long's teasing and looking at Gu Long's alright look, he had to admit that Butler Li was indeed panicked!
Even the arrogant Li San couldn't help but exclaim, "Gu Long, your kid is really fine!"
"I heard everyone said that you just had a fever and no other symptoms. I thought they were lying to me."
"You...how can you be okay? That's smallpox!"
The smile on Gu Long's face faded a bit and he looked at Zhou Zhengguang, "I killed more than thirty of your Zhou Zhengguang's servants a few days ago. It seems that you, Zhou Zhengguang, forgot about it in the blink of an eye. Both are clean."
"On the surface, you built a new house for me and bought a lot of furniture. It turns out you want to harm me!"
"Zhou Zhengguang, your wishful thinking is really good!"
Zhou Zhengguang was completely panicked!
He was sweating profusely and his voice was trembling as he spoke, "Mr. Gu, it's not that I want to kill you. It's really not that I want to kill you!"
"Your misunderstanding is too big!"
"Everything right now is Old Li Tou's secret plan and has nothing to do with me! The daypox patients were found by Old Li Tou at Tianzi No. 1 brothel. As for the people from the Yamen, he also contacted them secretly. I really Unaware!”
Zhou Zhengguang was almost scared to death when he thought of Gu Long's unpredictable behavior, killing more than thirty servants in minutes.
This wealthy landlord, who was usually aloof and unattainable, was now trembling with fear.
He was afraid that Gu Long's hand would point at him again and make him explode on the spot.
Gu Long sneered a few times, "Do you think I will believe your lies?"
"Zhou Zhengguang, you sound like an old man, and you are so kind when you call him!"
"If you say you are not manipulating all this secretly, you should provide me with evidence, otherwise, you will die today!"
Zhang Xiaoyan and others' eyes widened.
I originally wanted to scold Gu Long, after all, Zhou Zhengguang was the largest landowner in the neighborhood.
That is, even if the county magistrate comes, he must be polite to Zhou Zhengguang.
But they didn't have time to talk. Zhou Zhengguang actually knelt down to Gu Long in front of everyone and cried loudly: "Mr. Gu, please don't kill me, really don't kill me. I have nothing to do with all this, Gu gentlemen!"
"I swear to God, if it is me, Zhou Zhengguang, who is plotting this secretly, I will have no descendants and no descendants. I will die a miserable death and be torn into pieces!"
"If you don't believe it, I will kill Butler Li and Li San right now!"
Gu Long looked at Zhou Zhengguang expressionlessly, showing an expression of distrust in him.
And Zhou Zhengguang's posture has left Zhang Xiaoyan and others speechless!
This landlord, the most respected man in all the towns and villages, actually knelt in front of Gu Long, kowtowed and admitted his mistake?
Is this a dream?
Butler Li never expected that things would evolve to the point where they are now, and he hurriedly yelled at the stunned Li San, "Why are you still standing there, run away! If you don't run, there is only death waiting for you." "
"Run!"
Li San was also frightened half to death. He didn't expect that Gu Long really had psychic powers.
Even smallpox can't do anything to him!
If you don’t run now, when will you wait? !
But the moment Li San turned around, a dense crowd of servants surrounded Li San.
In order to clear his relationship with Li San and Butler Li, Zhou Zhengguang waved his hand and angrily said: "These two beasts dared to kill Mr. Gu and secretly plotted to kill Mr. Gu, not just once or twice."
"Immediately beat them both to death on the spot, kill them!"
Servants swarmed over!
Seeing his last son being brutally beaten, Butler Li's knees suddenly became weak. He knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Master, Li San is my only son."
"If you kill him, our Li family's incense will really be cut off!"
"Please let him go, I am willing to pay for my son's life!"
Gu Long clicked his tongue and said, "It's really touching."
His voice became colder again, "Zhou Zhengguang, you can either kill them today, or let me kill you too."
"Choose for yourself!"
