Chapter 149 The 'Disaster' in the Government Office

A bunch of refugees gathered in front of the magistrate's gate. This matter was considered new even in Ningzhou city, but no one around dared to gather around the magistrate's gate to watch the excitement.

One is that the continuous days of heavy rain have made ordinary people lose the desire to watch the excitement, and the other is that the magistrate's government office gate is no different than other places, and it is easy to be implicated in watching the excitement here.

So when Gu Chen came here, the huge street was empty except for these refugees here.

"Master Gu."

The refugee at the head, the strong man who argued with Gu Chen at the beginning, immediately saluted Gu Chen when he saw him.

Seeing this, Gu Chen didn't care whether there was water on his body or whether it was dirty, so he stretched out his hand to help him up and said:

"There is no need to perform such a big gift. Why do you still stay here if the magistrate doesn't see you?"

"We...we have nowhere to go."

The man explained with a bitter face.

Gu Chen frowned:

"Why do you have no place to go? Didn't I prepare a place for you to rest?"

Although it was to perfect his own personality, the place Gu Chen prepared for these people was not bad. The room had windows and doors. Although the house was a little damp due to the rain, it was still livable.

Why didn't this group of people go there, instead they said they had no place to live?

"This……"

The man's expression was a bit embarrassed, Gu Chen frowned, looked at the others, and asked:

"Did someone say something to you?"

"..."

The refugees did not answer.

Gu Chen's heart sank, he glanced around and found a few children, asked Liu'er to bring brown sugar, squatted down and asked them:

"Come on, tell your brother, did someone say something to you?"

"..." The children did not answer, but looked up at their parents.

Gu Chen smiled even brighter, and said to several people:

"It's okay, your parents have to listen to me, just say what you want."

Compared with adults, children's favorability is easier to control. Under Gu Chen's smile and the temptation of candies, the children said without hesitation:
"Some people say that we delayed Brother Gu's evaluation."

"Those people said we were causing you trouble..."

"I also said some very bad things, and my mother cried..."

The children chattered and said, the smile on Gu Chen's face remained unchanged, he raised his hand and rubbed the heads of these children, and distributed the sugar to them, then stood up and said to everyone:

"Okay, I've already figured out what happened. I don't care what other people say to you, but it's my decision to let you stay. In the Gu family, I, Gu Qianchen, can still take charge of such trivial matters." .

"Now you go back with me, and I will send you back in person. I want to see who is talking behind my back!"

"Young Master Gu is so majestic."

Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, a discordant voice came from a distance.

Gu Chen frowned and looked, a carriage came from the side street, surrounded by government guards.

They stopped near the gate of the magistrate's office, and the curtain on the carriage was pulled back, revealing a middle-aged man who looked a little rich.

The middle-aged man was wearing a crimson official robe and an official hat on his head, proving that his status was not low.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked at Gu Chen who was outside, and said:
"Based on what you said just now, if I didn't know your identity, I would really think you are the young master of the direct line."

"...It turned out to be Mr. Zhizhou."

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he bowed his hands to salute the man.

This person is the magistrate of Ningzhou, Gu Chengli, the youngest of the Gu family. According to his seniority, Gu Chen should call him the third uncle.

"Well, this should be the first time you and I have met?"

Gu Chengli looked at Gu Chen, and without getting out of the carriage, he sat inside and asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked up at him, with a warm smile on his face, and replied:
"Exactly, since the grass people came to Ningzhou, they have not been able to find time to visit Lord Zhizhou, and hope that Lord Zhizhou will forgive their sins."

"There's no need to forgive your sins. Look at you, do you want to bring these refugees back?"

Gu Chengli looked at the refugees behind Gu Chen.

Gu Chen said bluntly:
"Yes, Lord Zhizhou has any opinions?"

"Hehe, I don't have any opinions. I have only come to the Gu family for a few days, but I have lost everyone in the Gu family. How dare I have any opinions with such a method."

Gu Chengli said with a smile, but there was something in the words.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly unmoved, and said:

"It's my uncle who sympathizes with me, so they take care of me everywhere, so why lose my soul?"

"It would be nice if that was the case."

Gu Chengli seemed to mean something, Gu Chen looked at him with a smile on his face, the two of them were smiling at each other, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.

After a while, Gu Chen changed the subject and said:
"Master Zhizhou is here today, presumably he has something to do with Lord Zhifu, so the grassroots will not bother you, so let's take them away..."

"Oh, don't worry."

Just as Gu Chen was about to leave, Gu Chengli restrained his smile and said:

"I do have something to do with the prefect, but this matter has something to do with this group of people, so you can't take this group of people away for the time being."

"Oh? Are you going to petition for these refugees?"

"Petition? Oh, it counts."

Gu Chengli seemed unwilling to tell Gu Chen more, he finally said to Gu Chen:

"If you are interested, you can listen to it from the sidelines. Although I am not satisfied with your methods in the Gu family, it is also your ability to make everyone in the Gu family think about you. I will not say more, but You still have to pay more attention in the future, if you do some things too much, you will be backlashed."

"...Thank you, Lord Zhizhou, for your advice."

Gu Chen bowed to salute, and did not speak after that.

Liu Yuan, who followed from the side and listened to the end, couldn't help asking Gu Chen after the conversation between the two was over:
"Ning Shun, what did Lord Zhizhou mean by what he said just now?"

"I don't know, and I don't know why Lord Zhizhou said that."

Gu Chen's acting skills are still online, he has a bitter smile on his face, and his eyes are blank, as if wondering why Gu Chengli said that.

But Gu Chen had already sounded the alarm in his heart.

Gu Chengli probably didn't know what kind of ability Gu Chen had, but he could guess that Gu Chen used special means to make the Gu family's favor towards Gu Chen double.

Gu Chen was extremely convinced of this.

Because when Gu Chen tried to improve Gu Chengli's favor just now, it had little effect. There seemed to be something blocking Gu Chen's ability on Gu Chengli's body.

Gu Chen guessed that it should be something like a rare treasure.

This made Gu Chen unavoidably vigilant.

Gu Chen went to Shuzhou before, and the prefects and prefects in Shuzhou City didn't have this thing, so it was easy for Gu Chen to improve their favor.

But Gu Chengli has a treasure that can block his likes and dislikes from increasing his ability, which inevitably makes Gu Chen think too much.

Did he guess something and specially asked someone to find the strange treasure, or was it that this person was extremely cautious and often carried similar things with him?
No matter which one it is, it is enough to prove that Gu Chengli is not easy to deal with.

He is not like other members of the Gu family, who can surround Gu Chen with a little boost of goodwill. Gu Chen must be careful when dealing with him.

"Boss... have you lost your ability?"

Noticing Gu Chen's uncertain face, Jie Biao Danxi leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Gu Chen exhaled and replied:
"It's just that the ability is useless to him. The power has not yet been tested, but he should not be able to stop the power."

Superpowers and powers are two completely different systems of power.

According to the setting of the world view, the priority of authority should be higher than that of superpower. Gu Chengli can prevent superpower, but it is estimated that it is not enough to prevent power.

It's just that Gu Chen's power is limited. If it is not matched with the ability to increase likes and dislikes, it will only let people see the person they want to see. If it takes a long time, there is a danger of death.

Perhaps this power can add a lot of charm to Gu Chen, but these charms are obviously useless in front of Gu Chengli. If he wants to get rid of Gu Chengli, Gu Chen needs to use other methods.

However, judging from the current situation, Gu Chengli didn't have much hostility towards Gu Chen. He was probably just dissatisfied with what Gu Chen did in the Gu family, but he didn't particularly dislike Gu Chen himself.

Although Gu Chen couldn't control his liking, he could sense his liking and disliking for him, so I can be sure of this.

"Let's see what he's going to do first."

Gu Chen looked at Gu Chengli who was at the gate of the prefect, and entered the spectator mode.

He could see that Gu Chengli came to the gate of the magistrate today not because of these refugees, nor because of Gu Chen. Gu Chengli's real purpose should be the magistrate of Ningzhou City who has never seen his head or tail.

I'm afraid it will also involve official battles.

Gu Chen didn't know much about these things, and none of the high officials in the court knew him, so he could only enter a wait-and-see state to see what Gu Chengli was going to do.

The refugees who had been following Gu Chen saw that Gu Chen had stopped, and saw that Master Zhizhou seemed to be interceding for them, so they also stayed behind and looked at Gu Chengli's back excitedly.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the magistrate's yamen, Gu Chengli got out of the carriage slowly, and under the umbrella held by his servant, he walked to the gate of the magistrate's yamen, arched his hands, and said to the people inside:
"My next official, Gu Chengli, the prefect of Ningzhou, please see the magistrate."

As soon as Gu Chengli finished speaking, the gate of the magistrate's office was slowly opened, and some policemen came out of it, and quickly welcomed Gu Chengli in.

Then the door of the room was wide open, and the policemen didn't care about the refugees following Gu Chengli, all of them rushed into the gate of the prefect.

Gu Chen followed at the end and walked in slowly.

But when he walked into the gate, Gu Chen paused again, and looked up at the sky.

A thick black column of air rose from the inside of the magistrate's office to reach the sky. The column of air was so obviously spectacular that Gu Chen couldn't help but stop.

He remained silent, and stepped back a few steps away from the range of the magistrate's office and looked up at the sky again.

But there is nothing in the sky.

"So that's how it is... enchantment? Formation?"

Returning to the inside of the government office again, looking down at the gate of the government office, Gu Chen thought deeply.

It seems that the disaster in Ningzhou has been released long ago, but its real body was hidden inside the government office by a special formation.

And the person who released the disaster is already obvious.

Shuzhou is the general Zhou Weiming.

In Ningzhou, it is the nominal leader of Ningzhou, the magistrate of Ningzhou City.
