Chapter 53 Bribery
Seeing Xie Cheng suddenly move back a few steps, Mo Qiubai lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"So what do you think of my suggestion?"

"not so good."

In fact, Plan C is to sneak into Mr. Gu's mansion, inquire about the evidence of his crime, or arrange a suitable identity for himself, and appear under Mr. Gu's nose openly.

After thinking about it, Xie Cheng still thinks that the second idea is better, to be a maid in Gu's mansion, or a poor servant girl, as long as he can find out the clues of his crime.

"I'm going in to be a maid. Could it be that you want to disguise yourself as a woman?"

Her eyeballs looked up, down, left, and right. Mo Qiubai has big broad shoulders and a small waist. If she wears a woman's skirt, it will be particularly awkward.

Mr. Gu is not blind either.

"Then can't I go in and be a servant?"

Hearing this simple question, Xie Cheng just wanted to strangle herself to death, yes, why did she forget that there are cooks and cooks in the mansion, followed by maids and grooms.

Why does she want to take the risk alone? If there is one more person, the chance of victory will be one point higher.

"You're right, then it's settled, the two of us will go together then."

Xie Cheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The thought of Mo Qiubai sneaking into Gu's mansion with her made her feel quite at ease. After all, Mo Qiubai is a reliable person.

Seeing the smile on Xie Cheng's face, Mo Qiubai pursed his lips.

"Are you happy to have me by your side?"

At this moment, Xie Cheng was already squatting on the ground, and he was patting the eyelids of the killers with his fingers to see their situation.

When she is engrossed, she doesn't think carefully about what others say.

"Of course I'm happy, after all, you are the most reliable person in this village."

Hearing this, Mo Qiubai's lips slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes also curled up.

"thump……"

Xie Cheng patted the dust in his hands, looking at her, the guard squatting in the corner was taken aback.

"What is this?"

Suddenly there were several sacks on the floor of the woodshed, and the contents seemed to be still wriggling.

"You'll know in a while."

It's just your companions, but Xie Cheng just wanted to scare them, so he didn't tell the truth immediately.

There were still two guards standing at the door, their expressions were extremely serious.

Seeing their appearance, Xie Cheng took a silent breath.

"Why don't you know how to paddle? Why are you so serious."

Hearing his words, the two young men turned their heads.

"What is paddling..."

"Of course we have to be serious. After all, there are very, very bad people imprisoned here."

That is true, if they are not serious, they will definitely be scolded again, and they may have to be beaten.

Thinking of Mo Qiubai holding a whip in his hand for a long time, Xie Cheng shivered.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't tell you, I still have things to do."

Now that Plan C has been approved by Mo Qiubai, she has to start making arrangements now.

Looking at the back of Xie Cheng leaving in a hurry, the two young men looked at each other without saying anything.

……

"what are you?"

His people were actually left in Xiangshan Village again.

Mr. Gu felt depressed for a moment, but he suddenly lost his breath, and passed out directly.

When he woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Mr. Gu's face was abnormally pale, and the doctor standing beside him saw that he woke up, and the wrinkles between his brows were instantly smoothed away.

"Old man, you are finally awake."

The feeling of being held on the neck with a knife all day is really uncomfortable.

Hearing the doctor's choked up words, Mr. Gu turned his head and lifted the quilt.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"Yesterday morning until now."

It's been two days now, and I can't wait any longer.

The land was not obtained, and the villagers didn't listen to him. If he didn't show his real skills, those people might think he was an embroidered pillow.

There was still a sneer on Mr. Gu's face.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the magistrate's mansion."

There were two cups of hot tea on the table, maidservants were standing on both sides of the aisle, and Mr. Gu was sitting on the left, with a smile on his face.

"Master County Magistrate, I haven't come to see you for a long time, please forgive me."

Hearing this, the county magistrate waved it indifferently.

"It's okay, I know you're a busy person, it's okay if you don't come."

If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, if you come here suddenly, you must have something to do with him.

The county magistrate doesn't want to get too close to Mr. Gu, after all, most people don't want to get in touch with lunatics.

"It's good that you don't blame me, but the gift still has to be given."

After saying this, Mr. Gu raised his hand and patted it twice, and a group of servants rushed in, carrying several large wooden boxes in their hands.

Looking at the wooden box in front of him, the county magistrate became curious.

"What's in this box?"

Hearing his anxious tone, Mr. Gu didn't answer immediately.

"You'll know if you see for yourself."

There was still an extremely hypocritical smile on his face, the county magistrate didn't poke it, but slowly got up from the chair and walked to several large wooden boxes.

He was dumbfounded when he opened the lid of the box.

Inside are bright silver taels, and the words Gu's Bank are engraved on them.

Elder Gu, who was sitting on the side, had a look of contempt in his eyes.

"Does the county magistrate still like it?"

The sudden sentence brought back the county magistrate's wandering thoughts.

He took a deep breath and took two steps back.

"What's the purpose of Mr. Gu sending me these? Don't tell me that there is no purpose. Everyone is old. You don't have to follow the young people's detours when talking. It's a waste of time."

Hearing his words, Mr. Gu smiled.

"I need your help. I believe you have heard many stories about Xiangshan Village."

He briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and the county magistrate was terrified.

"Those lands are not worth two dollars, but they are so stubborn. They can't earn the money I gave them in their lifetime. County magistrate, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

Mr. Gu suddenly turned his head. He was still playing with the lid of the teacup with two fingers, and knocked the lid on the table from time to time.

The voice hit the county magistrate's heart along the table. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hands, and curled his mouth.

"I didn't take part in this matter. I don't need to make a decision. You'd better leave now. The villagers in Xiangshan Village depend on the mountains to live on them. If you take away the land, how will they live?" .”

At this time, he pretended to be a parent official, why didn't he make a sound when major events happened on weekdays.
