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

Chapter 351 Private investigation, river officials

Originally, Tan Zhixu thought that the matter would end here, but he didn't expect that someone was staring at him.

A few nights later, Tan Zhixu returned to his mansion from the shop, but met a group of people on the way.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and several black shadows were moving quickly through the streets and alleys. They surrounded Tan Zhixu, who was unsuspecting, and their movements were quick and ruthless.

One of them threatened coldly: "Shopkeeper Tan, if you know what's going on, hand over the shop, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

Faced with the sudden kidnapping, Tan Zhixu was not afraid. She gritted her teeth and responded resolutely: "I will never bow to evil forces!"

This scene happened to be bumped into by several travelers returning home at night, which immediately caused an uproar.

"Oh, isn't that shopkeeper Tan? How could he be kidnapped by these people?" The uncle selling wontons opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"I heard that the president of the Chamber of Commerce died mysteriously recently. Is it possible that this matter has something to do with Shopkeeper Tan?" A young and strong boatman guessed, his eyes full of confusion and worry.

However, at this critical moment, Gu Huaijing appeared on the scene like a divine soldier descended from heaven. With his strong body and sharp strikes, he subdued several gangsters in an instant.

The crowd of onlookers burst into exclamation: "Look, is that Master Gu? He is here to save Shopkeeper Tan!"

Gu Huaijing helped the injured Tan Zhixu up and asked with concern: "How are you?"

Tan Zhixu forced out a smile and said weakly but firmly: "I can still hold on. Where do these people come from?"

Gu Huaijing's eyes were sharp and he analyzed: "It seems that the people behind the scenes are still unwilling to fail and are trying to force you to submit in this way."

Early the next morning, the entire Northern Shaanxi Terminal exploded again due to this incident.

In the teahouse, people were talking a lot, "Have you heard? Someone attacked Shopkeeper Tan last night. Fortunately, Mr. Gu arrived in time, otherwise..."

"Mr. Gu and Shopkeeper Tan are really friends in times of need!" A middle-aged woman sighed with emotion, drawing nods of approval from the people around her.

Faced with a crisis-ridden situation, Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing decided to join forces to fight the dark forces behind them.

On the one hand, they used the power of the government to track down the real murderer. On the other hand, they made secret arrangements and vowed to uncover all enemies hiding in the dark.

When all the truth gradually emerged, all the evildoers who had tried to frame them were punished as they deserved.

The relationship between Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing also became closer because of this incident, and their names became symbols of justice and courage on the dock in northern Shaanxi.

"As long as you are by my side, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, I will have nothing to fear." Tan Zhixu said softly to Gu Huaijing, with perseverance and trust on her face.

Gu Huaijing held her hand and returned the same firm gaze: "We will protect this land together and let the northern Shaanxi pier regain its brightness."

Things have not stopped here. It can be said that there are waves of unrest.

Gu Huaijing was originally transferred to investigate the northern Shaanxi dock incident.

But now the emperor has no clue about the investigation, and strange things happen one after another. Gu Huaijing is worried all day long.

Teng Xi had not seen his master like this for a long time. He found Gu Yu and asked Gu Yu about Tan Zhixu.

When asked by Teng Xi, Gu Yu also sighed.

In fact, Tan Zhixu's life has been just so so in the past few days.

Although the business of the shop was good, Gu Yu always felt that someone was peeking in secretly.

"Commander Teng, do you think the person behind the scenes still wants to take action against our master?" Upon hearing this, Teng Xi's expression suddenly changed.

The two looked at each other, and they already had a countermeasure in mind.

At this time, people were talking a lot in a teahouse at the North Shaanxi Pier.

An old boatman slapped the table and said in a loud voice: "Do you know? I heard that Mr. Liu, a fifth-grade official, usually seems to be very honest, but he has his shadow behind several strange incidents recently!"

"Master Liu?" A young scholar next to him widened his eyes, "How is this possible? He is usually a good official in the hearts of the people."

"In this world, people's hearts are unpredictable."

The uncle selling wontons took a sip of tea and lowered his voice and said, "A few days ago, I heard someone say that some of the gangsters who attacked Shopkeeper Tan that night were servants of Mr. Liu's family."

On the other side, Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu were discussing the matter secretly in the mansion.

Their brows were furrowed and their expressions were serious.

"If it's really Mr. Liu, then why is he targeting me?" Tan Zhixu was puzzled, with firmness and determination between his brows.

Gu Huaijing pondered for a moment and analyzed: "Maybe it's because your shop has touched his interests, or he is covering up some bigger secret."

"Then we can't sit still and wait for death." Tan Zhixu's eyes were sharp. She knew that she had to take the initiative to protect herself and those around her.

So, the two teamed up to devise a drama to lure the snake out of its hole.

Tan Zhixu deliberately spread the word that he wanted to display a batch of rare treasures in the shop, while Gu Huaijing secretly laid a dragnet.

That night, Master Liu really couldn't hold himself back and appeared near the shop with his men. Many of the onlookers were whispering, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Just when Mr. Liu was about to take action, Gu Huaijing led the officers and soldiers to capture him in one fell swoop.

The captured Mr. Liu was ashen-faced. Faced with overwhelming evidence, he could no longer deny it and had to confess all his crimes one by one.

Early the next morning, the news spread quickly throughout the Shaanbei Pier.

"Mr. Gu and Shopkeeper Tan are truly the heroes of our dock!" The lady selling sesame seed cakes said with admiration on her face.

"With such capable people here, why worry about the unrest at the dock?" a boatman praised loudly.

For Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing, this is just an episode on their road to protecting justice.

They work hand in hand to continue to reveal more truths and fight against deeper darkness in the crisis-ridden world, and jointly guard this pyrotechnic dock in northern Shaanxi.

"As long as we have each other, no matter how difficult the challenge is, there is nothing to fear." Tan Zhixu looked at Gu Huaijing, his eyes shining with firm trust and endless determination.

Gu Huaijing returned the same tenacious gaze and held her hand tightly: "No matter when and where we are, we will be each other's strongest backing, and together we will illuminate the light of this land."

"Xu Xu, what you and I have to face next is not that simple."

Gu Huaijing had just received the letter from Fei Ge, and the several waves of people he secretly sent out were now dead.

His secret guards have all been trained. They are not all martial arts masters, but they are not so weak or inexperienced.

Hearing what Gu Huaijing said, Tan Zhixu also frowned, "Did something happen to the secret guard?"

Even though Gu Huaijing never said it, Tan Zhixu still noticed that the number of secret guards protecting him in secret has decreased a lot recently.
