After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Being frightened by Gu Huaijing, the Nanhu County Grand Master instantly knelt on the ground.

"Master Gu, please forgive me. I really didn't mean it."

Seeing the county magistrate kneeling down and begging for mercy, Gu Huaijing nodded with satisfaction, "Then tell me."

"Yes."

There is something else that the Grand Master of Nanhu County does not understand. Now that Mr. Gu has given him a chance, he can only tell the truth.

In fact, the Grand Master of Nanhu County overheard all this.

A year ago, he happened to be in charge of receiving the ministers from the imperial court. Everyone had been drinking that night. Unexpectedly, these adults made a drunken mistake and revealed the purpose of their trip.

After hearing the minister say that they would misappropriate half of the supplies this time, the Nanhu County Grand Master knelt on the ground and did not dare to move for a long time.

It seemed that his timidity had won him a chance to survive, and no one took him to heart.

It wasn't until everyone fell asleep that the county magistrate sent all the ministers back, and they sat limply on the ground.

The county magistrate didn't tell anyone about this matter, and kept biting his tongue, just not wanting to make himself the target of public criticism. However, he didn't expect that he had concealed the matter so well that the court would find out about it.

"Sir, does the Emperor know about this?"

The county magistrate's body trembled into chaff.

If the emperor knew about this, would he still have a way to survive?

Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Huaijing with pleading eyes.

Gu Huaijing couldn't control so much. What he was thinking about now was how many people were involved.

"Write down the names of all the officials you saw that day."

"Yes."

The county magistrate did not hesitate and quickly wrote down all the names.

By the time the list was ready, a long time had passed.

Did Gu Huaijing fall asleep very well this night? , the guards following him were somewhat worried.

In fact, when they first saw people coming from the imperial court, the officials and people in the west didn't have much hope. After all, no one had come before, so no one could really solve the problem.

But this Gu Huaijing really seems to be different from others.

From the first day to the present, he has been busy with people's affairs every day. Not only does his feet not touch the ground, it is also because of the wind on the soles of his feet.

"Master Gu, when you find these people, do you really want to solve them?"

"Do you think I'm here just for fun?"

After getting along with each other for a few days, Gu Huaijing and the guard became familiar with each other, and they would not shy away from talking to each other sometimes.

Being so squeezed by Gu Huaijing, the guard smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, this is not what I meant. It is not difficult to see from this list that many officials from the imperial court are actually involved."

Yes, a guard in the west can see it clearly, but what about the rest?

Naturally, Menqing.

The relationship between court officials is inherently intricate, and a slight mistake can affect the whole body. Now that the emperor has entrusted this matter to him, he must handle it well.

"Now that I'm here, I won't return without success."

Gu Huaijing looked at the guard seriously.

In the end, no one said anything. The two of them would arrive at the Yamen soon.

Originally, Gu Huaijing planned to take a good rest, but he didn't want to hear any news from the government officials.

"Sir, a group of people from the capital were captured by gangsters."

"Capital?"

For some reason, when Gu Huaijing heard that it was from the capital, he thought it might be Tan Zhixu.

Gu Huaijing didn't even ask for confirmation and asked the secret guard to follow him out.

The guards in the west also wanted to follow, but were rejected by Gu Huaijing, "There will be some shortage of supplies these days. Whether a large amount of supplies can arrive on time is a question. You must stay here to maintain order."

Gu Huaijing's expression was serious and he could not tolerate rejection from others. "Yes, sir."

Everyone watched Gu Huaijing heading towards the deep mountains and forests, their hearts almost beating out of their chests.

Lord Wang took the lead in comforting the people and praying for Gu Huaijing's early return.

At that time, in the old forest in the back mountain of the west, Tan Zhixu and his party were all tied up tightly, especially Teng Xi. Among this group of people, he was the most skilled. If he hadn't been protecting Tan Zhixu wholeheartedly, he would have been Won't get caught.

"Miss Tan, are you okay?"

Even though Teng Xi is now tied up by Wu Hua Da, what he is thinking about is still Tan Zhixu's safety.

He knew better than anyone else that if Tan Zhixu was injured, he would be doomed.

Teng Xi didn't want to be scolded to death by his master when the time came.

Tan Zhixu shook his head.

"No problem, how are you?"

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm a rough-skinned man."

Teng Xi smiled at Tan Zhixu pretending to be relaxed.

Even though Teng Xi acted very indifferent, Tan Zhixu was still frowning.

They hurriedly and slowly finally reached the western area, but unexpectedly they encountered ruthless bandits.

Those tough bandits looked different from the usual robbers and bandits, they seemed like thugs.

Tan Zhixu's pretty face was full of sadness.

Teng Xi and Gu Yu saw that Tan Zhixu was deep in thought and did not want to be disturbed. They moved to one side and muttered: "Do you think someone will come to save us?"

"Before I was caught, I sent a signal to the master. As long as the government officials in the west don't stop working because of the drought, the master will know that we have been arrested."

After hearing Teng Xi's words, Gu Yu became even less hopeful.

It's better to save yourself than to rely on others.

Thinking of the twists and turns in their journey, Gu Yu felt uncomfortable.

My master came by boat to bring things for Mr. Gu, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Could it be that this was God's test for them?

Guyu sighed, and Tan Zhixu came back to his senses.

"Gu Yu, don't worry, we will be fine. If these people really want to do anything to us, they won't lock us up."

Tan Zhixu looked at Gu Yu and Teng Xi calmly.

As soon as these words came out, they both looked at Tan Zhixu, his clear eyes filled with confusion.

Tan Zhixu was amused by the appearance of the two of them, "Don't worry, we will be fine."

"Okay, okay, it'll be fine."

Teng Xi gave Gu Yu a look and then began to nod.

It was late at night, and Tan Zhixu asked everyone to rest first and solve the problem tomorrow.

After closing his eyes, Tan Zhixu couldn't fall asleep.

Although she reassured Gu Yu that they would be fine, she was actually not so sure in her heart.

From the moment they got out of bed, someone has been secretly watching them. She is not sure whether they are this group of people. She has not yet figured out the origins and intentions of this group of people and can only take one step at a time.

Early the next morning, Tan Zhixu was taken away by the leader of the gang as soon as he woke up.

Teng Xi stood between several people.

"I tell you, if something happens to my girl, I will crush your mountain."

Teng Xi's eyes were scarlet, and he wanted to eat the people in front of him.
