After the crown princess was reborn, she was overwhelmed with farming!

Chapter 86
After all, he was once a famous judge, but he was dismissed because he made a mistake and offended Mr. Futai.

Nalanjing knew that the officialdom had always been like this, Zhou Gu had no background, and as Su Zhi's immediate boss, it was only a matter of one word to control him.

The carriage drove around for a long time before seeing the plaque of the Zhou Mansion in a dilapidated alley street.

The house should be the house that Zhou Gu bought when he was still an official, but it is still so dilapidated, one can imagine how careless he is in this regard.

Su Shirong stayed with Su Zimo for two days, but he was really worried about Zhou Gu, so he went back to Zhou Mansion again.

On the day of Su Minyue's wedding, Su Shirong was assassinated halfway, and the Zhou Mansion was also surrounded by assassins. Fortunately, when Su Shirong left, he left most of the people in the Zhou Mansion and did not let them succeed.

It's just that Zhou Gu's sister, because she blocked Zhou Gu's sword, her arm was injured.

Su Shirong went to Zhou Shuangyi's room to see her, and when he came out, he saw Zhou Gu standing in the courtyard with a sad face.

At first, they thought that as long as they had the seal from the eldest princess, Zhou Gu would be able to work in the government office after waiting for the court documents to come down. Seeing the behavior of Su Zhi and the Zhao family...

They were worried that the entire Youzhou government office was colluding, and they would turn a blind eye to the imperial court's documents and follow Zhao Tongzhi's lead.

They can't go to the eldest princess for this kind of thing. The eldest princess gave them a chance. Whether they can secure the seat of the government depends on their own abilities.

If they don't even have this ability, what face do they have to meet the eldest princess?
Zhou Gu: "Brother Su, if something happens to me, my sister will entrust it to you."

Su Shirong frowned: "Brother Zhou, don't be discouraged, we still have a chance."

Zhou Gu smiled bitterly: "They must have guessed something before sending someone to assassinate me. I don't think I can get out of this door."

Now that he guessed it, how could Zhao Tongzhi give up?He will definitely kill Zhou Gu before the court documents are issued.

Su Shirong frowned, and before he had time to say anything, the porter suddenly ran in, panting: "Master... there are three people looking for you outside, one of them said her husband's family name was Rong, and she called herself Miss Rong."

The Zhou mansion is not big, but Zhou Shuangyi's yard is remote, and the concierge ran over because he was worried that the guests would wait for a long time.

Su Shirong and Zhou Gu knew it was Nalan Jing, their eyes lit up, and they hurried to the gate of the mansion to pick him up.

Nalanjing was also a little surprised to see Su Shirong. She came to see Zhou Gu, and she didn't expect Su Shirong to be there. It was great.

After a group of people greeted each other, they entered the main room of Zhou Mansion.

The Zhou mansion is very simple inside and out, the main room only has a few chairs and a table.

Zhou Gu wanted to boil water to make tea, but was dissuaded by Nalanjing.

Zhou Gu explained with some embarrassment: "The servants have left, and they usually boil water by themselves, so it's not troublesome."

As he said, he ignored Nalan Jing's dissuasion and went to the stove to boil water.

The county magistrate looked at Rong Xuan and Nalan Jing in a daze: can this person really help them?

However, Nalanjing admired Zhou Gu a little, saying that it is difficult for a noble son from a poor family to remember his original intentions. Zhou Gu was an official for nine years, and he was still calm and composed once he fell down. This alone is enough to make people awe-inspiring.

Zhou Gu boiled water, and Nalanjing took out the teapot, put some tea leaves in it, cleaned the bowls again, and poured a bowl of hot tea for everyone.

Holding the bowl with a corner missing, Rong Xuan took a sip of hot tea.

Su Shirong didn't drink, he was helping Zhou Gu to slap the soot off his body.

Su Shirong sighed: "Brother Zhou, why are you so stubborn..."

He gave Zhou Gu 1000 taels of silver, but Zhou Gu didn't want it, and he didn't want Su Shirong to pay for the food and clothing in the mansion these days.

After several people sat down, Nalan Jing talked about the purpose of this trip.

Nalanjing: "Brother Zhou, eldest son, have you heard of Wanhualou?"

The expressions of Su Shirong and Zhou Gu changed at the same time, and they looked at her with serious eyes.

Su Shirong: "Is it the Wanhua Building on Huajie?"

The county magistrate nodded vigorously at the side: "That's right there. Qingshan Town recently encountered a murder case. The criminal confessed that Wanhualou was doing a human life-trafficking transaction, and the criminal was one of the killers who worked for Wanhualou."

Su Shirong said solemnly: "That is the property of the Zhao family, the largest flower building in Fucheng Flower Street. You should know that Zhao Tongzhi is my father's right-hand man."

Zhou Gu also said solemnly: "Wanhualou has stood for more than ten years, and it is the murderous weapon in the hands of Zhao Tongzhi and Su Zhi. Anything that Zhao and Su can't do publicly will be done by Wanhualou. You guys With only one murder case in hand and one crime to move them, I'm afraid it's..."

The county magistrate knew that it would be difficult to mobilize Wanhualou, but he didn't expect that it was the Zhao family's property, and it was said that it was still the power of Zhao Tongzhi and Su Futai.

Officials colluded to make a living by killing people, which is really appalling.

The county magistrate was angry, scared, scared, and happy.

Fortunately, Brother Rong has the foresight, and knows to detect the power of Wanhualou in advance.

The Zhao family and the Su family have such vicious temperaments that they dare not act rashly even if the imperial court ordered officials to come.

The county magistrate secretly looked at Rong Xuan: "Brother Rong, you don't think the situation is very good, why don't we go back first and execute Li Kui?"

Rong Xuan glanced at him calmly, with sharp blades shining clearly in his eyes, as if piercing through him, shooting at Zhao and Su.

The county magistrate seemed to understand what he meant, and was about to fight to the end. With a trace of stiffness on his face, he said: "Brother Rong, this is the capital city of Youzhou. What are we going to use to destroy Su Futai and Zhao Tongzhi's lair?"

Rong Xuan put one hand on the table, leaned against the chair, his back was still straight, his sharp eyes showed no signs of loosening.

The county magistrate looked at Nalan Jing for help, wanting her to persuade Rong Xuan.

Nalanjing couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips, did the county magistrate forget that he was actually the magistrate, and Rong Xuan was only a temporary "handyman" at best, why did he let Rong Xuan do whatever he wanted?

The county magistrate actually knew very well in his heart that he didn't need to obey Rong Xuan's words, but he was completely convinced by Rong Xuan's ability to handle cases and affairs. He could vaguely see Rong Xuan's ruthless heart. It's not for his own personal gain, he wants to slay demons and monsters, and restore the world to a bright and bright world, showing the sun and the moon.

Nalanjing thought of something and looked at Zhou Gu: "Brother Zhou, how long will it take for the imperial documents to arrive?"

Zhou Gu: "Probably still some time."

The journey from the imperial court to Youzhou took about a month by car and horse, and about 20 days by fast horse, and more than a month to go back and forth.

Su Shirong frowned, and suddenly said: "Brother Zhou, Zhao Tongzhi is lawless, greedy and deceitful, we can't wait any longer."

Zhou Gu raised his head: "Su Zhi is still in Youzhou, and the soldiers and horses in the capital are in their hands. How should we move?"
