Chapter 509 Three Lines of Defense
In the afternoon, Bai Kou received a letter from his eldest uncle Tang Lin, and the preliminary investigation of Bai Rui's ex-in-law's family and the Zhou family had results.

The one who wants to marry Bai Rui is a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Officials, named Wang Chen'an, who is in charge of the examination department, which is responsible for the performance evaluation of officials, and the Zhou family who was able to marry Bai Rui back then is naturally from a well-matched family. Zhou Hongshou, the master of the Zhou family, He has been sitting in the seat of the Seventh Rank in Dali Temple for many years, and has always wanted to move up, otherwise at his current age, he will retire from officialdom in a few years.

Wang Zhou is about the same age, Wang Chen'an is also a grandfather, he has several grandchildren, his old wife has passed away for three or four years, and there is a young concubine by his side to take care of the housework, but the reason why he wants to marry Bai Rui has not been found yet. All I know is that Zhou's family is very active, boasting that Haikou will definitely make this happen.

By the way, Tang Lin also praised Bai Kou, who took strict precautions and did not let the Zhou family succeed. At the same time, he also reminded her to pay attention to the safety of Bai Rui and the child. According to the information they heard, Wang Chenan seemed to only marry Bai Rui and did not want to marry Bai Kou. If she wants her daughter, the child should be brought up by the Zhou family, because the neighbors in the neighborhood saw their family making girls' clothes when they visited, and they have grandchildren under their knees, and there is no granddaughter. According to the gossip circulating among the neighbors, The Zhou family admitted that Bai Rui wanted to bring the child back to live together.

Bai Kou put down the letter, she thought of Gu Hui, if the Zhou family's wishes were fulfilled, Bai Rui would be forced to do the continuation, and the daughter would stay at the Zhou family, once the mother and daughter were separated, the fate of the child would be hard to say.

It is enough for the eldest uncle Tang Lin to find out these things in such a short period of time, the rest is still to ask the guards to lie on the roof.

Bai Rui was expelled from her husband's house and lived in the lower workshop as a laundry woman. Now that life is getting better, an official in the capital popped up and wanted to marry her as a continuation. Although there is no evidence, Bai Kou's intuition told her that something was weird. Caution is the boat.

When Gu Yun came home, Bai Kou showed him the letter, borrowed guards from him, and insisted that she pay for them. Gu Yun agreed without thinking too much about it. The matter started to involve officials, so it is better to check it out. good.

Early the next morning, after Gu Yun left for school, Bai Kou went to find his captain of the guards, and used the rest of the guards to separately investigate what kind of deal Wang Chen'an and Zhou Hongshou had reached in private. This period of investigation is over.

The guards can sneak into other people's homes quietly with their own skills, and the efficiency of inquiring about news is naturally higher. The guards guarding Zhou's family only came back with the latest news after squatting for the first night. Huazi came to Tianshuifang to directly kidnap people.

While discussing how to bring Bai Rui back to Zhou's house, the guards overheard the truth they revealed.

The Zhou family was indeed in big trouble.

Recently, at the end of the year, the Ministry of Officials was going to assess officials, and Wang Chenan was a fifth-rank doctor in charge of evaluating officials' achievements. During the merit assessment process, he caught Zhou Hongshou's trick of accepting bribes to help people get rid of serious crimes and change them to light sentences. This is hidden in the It's okay if no one finds out the little tricks in the old case files. Once it is revealed, his position as the seventh-rank chief will not be guaranteed, and most people will drag him down and replace him.

The condition of the transaction that Wang Chen'an promised to keep secret was to marry Bai Rui as the continuation, so the Zhou family was so active that they couldn't wait, and there was no time for them to play tricks and slowly frame Bai Rui to force her to remarry. Before the merit test comments are sorted out and submitted to the Headquarters, otherwise, once the results are submitted, there will be no chance to revise them.

Bai Kou frowned, she didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent guards to look for Marquis Wu on the street, and asked him and his subordinates to patrol and take precautions. Huazi has always been in contact with each other, one side kidnaps and the other sells, and they have their own news channels for each other. If they can intercept the person after patting Huazi into the workshop, they will reward them with ten taels of silver.

The guards going to Yahang conveyed the words clearly, money is easy to do things, Yahang patted his chest and agreed, and did not ask why Bai Kou knew that Paihuazi was coming to kidnap Bai Rui. They also heard about the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they guessed that this was the follow-up, so they didn't dare to ask more, for fear that knowing too much would hurt themselves.

Bai Kou went to her sister and told her the next step of the Zhou family's plan, so that she could be prepared.

Bai Rui's complexion turned pale after hearing this, and she stroked her chest for a long time before she could catch her breath, and the nurses who followed her kept comforting her, letting her relax, since she had known the information in advance, she would be able to Keep her safe.

"Sister, don't panic. Since I know about the private transaction between Wang and Zhou, I won't let them have a good life. When the matter in front of me is settled, I will let them get out of the officialdom." Bai Kou Sneered and promised.

Bai Rui held her younger sister's hand tightly, taking her words as a comfort to herself, with a grateful smile on her face.

"My sister's safety is up to you. Counting you, I have already made triple preparations. There is Marquis Wu leading people to strictly patrol the workshop, and Ren Yazi is responsible for intercepting and patting Huazi. If the three lines of defense fail, I will take action myself. Don't think about this good year for Zhou Wang's family." Bai Kou said to the nurses.

"Don't worry, Bai Kou, the chances of failing all three lines of defense are too low, maybe the human teeth will stop them." The female nurses hurriedly comforted Bai Kou again, she looked too nervous.

"hope so."

Bai Kou comforted her sister, arranged everything, and went back to the mansion to do her work while patiently waiting for news.

In the evening, when Gu Yun got home from school, Bai Kou reported the latest situation to him, Gu Yun sneered and promised to get Zhou Wang's family out of the officialdom.

When Gu Yun went out to school the next day, he gave orders to his guards and servants to secretly investigate Wang Chenan's relationship.

Wang Chenan and Bai Rui have never been in contact, and with his status, he can marry a girl from an innocent family, so why bother to marry Bai Rui, and force the marriage by threatening Zhou's family, it doesn't look like a normal marriage.

Two days later, the guards did not report any new news from the investigation, but the people in the shop managed to stop Pat Huazi who came to investigate the environment to find Bai Rui. Send someone to invite Bai Kou over.

"Brother, something is wrong with you." The shopkeeper of the dental shop sat in the inner room, warmly pouring tea and exchanging greetings.

"What's wrong?" Paihuazi held a cup of tea with a calm face.

"Smart people don't speak dark words, brother, don't pretend to be confused with me, thinking that I don't know, brother? You accepted a kidnapping business, right? The owner has been waiting for you for two days."

Pai Hanako turned pale, put down her teacup and was about to get up.
