Tangled

Chapter 90

"We know that our crimes are unforgivable, but our wife and children are really innocent. We hope that the officials will help us, and we will definitely repay them with our lives."

"I hope the officials will help you, and I will repay you with my life!!"

As the leader's voice fell, everyone kneeling behind them kowtowed in unison, shouting for help.

Originally, I just wanted to ask my cousin if he could help, but now that they are bowing like this, it seems a little bit hard to get off.

Shen Qiqi, who felt troubled, hid behind Gu Tingshu, lightly pinched Gu Tingshu's palm with her index finger, expressing her guilt.

"Since I've come here, I want to solve the problem here. You should hide yourself first. When I understand the reason, I will give you an explanation."

Qingzhou prefect Yin Guan is not considered big, but if there is no way to lead, this group of people cannot enter the county to avenge their grievances. In addition, their family members are being held hostage. Although this move cannot be let go, it is understandable.

"Then what is the crime of the governor of Qingzhou? Please tell me one by one in detail, and we will investigate them one by one. You must not speak in vain."

Since he dared to do such an outrageous thing, he must have done a lot of other bad things as well.

If he asked anything else, even Ling Chi, the prefect of Qingzhou, would not be able to pay for this crime.

"Bingguan's family, besides holding us hostage, the governor of Qingzhou also forced Liang to occupy people's farms for prostitution and sell them privately to get rid of money."

"For those who have borrowed money but are unable to repay it, he will have his wife arrested and sold, and the house deed and other valuables will not be let go."

Qingzhou Mansion is not too far away from the capital city, but the governor of Qingzhou Mansion has done many unacceptable things, and none of the officials reported them.

If they hadn't met today, he wouldn't know how long he would be doing evil.

They thought that there would not be such vicious people under the strict governance system of Emperor Yuan, but it seems that they are still short-sighted.

It seems that no matter what dynasty or generation, the mutual protection of officials and officials is inevitable.

"We have already understood the matter. You go to heal your injuries first. Within a month, this matter will have a result."

Mu Chengze didn't dare to talk too much, there are still more than 300 miles to go, and no one can guarantee whether something will happen on the way.

One month, no matter what happened, it was enough time for them to explain.

"The two officials, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the governor of Qingzhou is so powerful, if you two... if..."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but the three people present were not stupid, so they naturally knew what he meant.

Zuo was just afraid that they would be powerless, that they would not be able to fight against the governor of Qingzhou, and that they would not be able to seek justice for them.

"Don't worry, this is the captain of Qipin Yihui under Zhenbeihou's command. He only obeys Zhenbeihou's orders. When everything is found out, he will speak impartially and let Zhenbeihou give justice to the reserve."

Mu Chengze took the words over and spouted nonsense, not daring to look at Gu Tingshu's face.

He touched his nose, took a step forward with a smile, and said loudly: "Although I have no official position, I am the cousin of Zhenbeihou. With this relationship, you can keep your heart firmly in your stomach." inside."

He opened his eyes and told nonsense, although he didn't dare to face Gu Tingshu, but he was surprisingly upright.

Shen Qiqi poked her head out quietly, admiring his shameless appearance, if it wasn't for his hands being restrained, she would have clapped her hands and applauded.

As if sensing her agitation, Gu Tingshu turned his head sideways, cut her eyebrows lightly, and pushed her back gently.

Gu Tingshu's name is known to everyone, and adults often use it to scare toddlers in Handan, so that children from eighty to one year old can't help being afraid just by hearing his name.

Hearing that they said they were Gu Tingshu's personal guards and close relatives, everyone present felt relieved.

"Since that's the case, I will thank the two officials for their great kindness first. When the great hatred is avenged, we will build a temple for Zhenbei Hou and sue the heavens for his merits."

The construction of temples is really a bit over the top.

Mu Chengze secretly glanced at Gu Tingshu, feeling a little guilty.

"My cousin has never loved these things, but he doesn't like it when you build a temple for him. After you have sinned, do more good deeds."

After making up a few words, he was afraid that what he said might be wrong, so Mu Chengze waved them to leave quickly.

After everyone had left, Mu Chengze turned around, met Gu Tingshu's cold eyes, and twitched the corners of his mouth with a fake smile.

"I've been busy for most of the night, my cousin must be hungry again, let's go, let's go in and have something to eat."

There were no outsiders around at the moment, if Ash wanted to beat him up, he really had no room to fight back.

The cousin is kind-hearted, let's stay with her, lest I get beaten up and have nowhere to complain.

Before the scarf on her wrist was untied, Shen Qiqi cut Gu Tingshu's back, and when he turned around, she tilted her head and said "huh?" in a doubtful tone.

Gu Tingshu dragged her into the house, sat by the fire, grabbed a piece of cloth to wipe off the blood on the sword, and put it in the scabbard.

"Cousin, what would you like to eat?"

Mu Chengze brought out some dry food, and before Shen Qiqi could reply, he handed over half a pancake.

The pancakes are too hard, he's sure, she won't be able to eat them all.

"How credible do you think the words of that group of people are?"

Although what those people said was painful, they couldn't believe it all.

"Believe it or not, does it matter?"

Both the left and the right have to be checked out, and if they are checked out, they will naturally know whether they have lied or not.

Believe it or not, it really doesn't matter.

Shen Qiqi couldn't get into what they were talking about, she just concentrated on gnawing on the pancakes in her hands, but the pancakes were really hard to chew after a day of baking.

She worked hard for a while, and only took a small bite.

There were so many soft pastries, why didn't she know how to prepare some, she insisted on eating this pancake with them.

"At the next foothold, I'll buy you some snacks."

Seeing her movements from the corner of the eye, Gu Tingshu smiled and reached out to take her pancakes.

"Eat the steamed bun, it's too hard."

When they travel, they always prepare some extremely hungry things, and they prepare them habitually, but they forget that she has bad teeth and cannot eat these things.

Obviously that's what he thought just now, but as soon as he said it, Shen Qiqi felt that he was not sensible.

"No need, the pancakes are hard, but I eat them slowly, and they're pretty good."

If she hadn't seen the way she was struggling just now, she would have two degrees of credibility in saying this, but after seeing her way of slowly nibbling like a milk cat, it would be really unconvincing for her to say this again.

"Cousin, I also think this pancake is too hard, let's eat pastries together in the future, let Ash enjoy this pancake by himself."

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Gu Tingshu, smiled complacently, and stretched out his hand to Shen Qiqi, signaling to show his palm to her.

Although the scarf in her hand was untied, her wrist was still restrained, Shen Qiqi glanced at Gu Tingshu, and secretly raised her hand.
