Uncle Xu looked at the three of them in pain, sighed, and said earnestly: "Finally everyone is safe and sound. It's great that we can get together like this. You really don't have to feel guilty. It's us who are uncomfortable."
The three of them looked up and saw that everyone was looking at them earnestly, so they decided to put aside their emotions for the time being.
Uncle Xu was right. Fortunately, nothing serious happened and we were able to sit together at the same table to eat. It was all thanks to God.
After everyone had dinner, those who were injured received medicine and Gu Lingze took everyone's pulse before he felt relieved.
As usual, each person was given a Guyuan Baozhen Pill, but this time there were also three other people, Doctor Li, Woodcutter Zhou and Shopkeeper Qiu. No one refused and ate the pills happily.
The other three thought it was an ordinary pill and took it as well.
Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, they felt warm all over, as if the wounds were not so painful anymore. Uncle Xu explained to them that this was a prescription passed down from the Lingze family's ancestors, which was particularly good for nourishing the body, so everyone accepted this statement.
Early the next morning, Manager Qiu and his companions were about to say goodbye and return to the county town, but unexpectedly they were stopped by Gu Lingze.
"Manager Qiu, I have something to discuss with you and everyone else."
Gu Lingze originally planned to take the Xu family away only. After all, he would not force everyone to follow his arrangements.
But now it seems that this is absolutely not the way to go. Others cannot harm him, nor can they harm his close relatives, but they can attack them. It is better for everyone to go to the capital together and have fun.
Gu Lingze was about to tell others about the purchase of Jinyulou when there was a hurried knock on the door.
Gu Lingze opened the door and found a completely unfamiliar young man standing in front of it.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Tan Leming, and my father is the magistrate Tan. You guys should go and save my father. He was discovered by the imperial envoy because he tipped you off, and now he wants to be taken to Caishikou to be beheaded."
"Walk."
Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo set off for the county town, while Gu Xiuyi stayed at home to take charge.
Gu Xiuyi sat there, feeling everyone's eyes drifting to him from time to time, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"If you have anything to say, please speak directly. There's no need to be so reserved."
Uncle Xu thought for a moment and said, "You are a third-rank general. No matter how capable Lingze and Zhao are, they are just ordinary people like us. I think you should go and subdue those people."
Gu Xiuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Uncle Xu, I am the younger generation. I should use honorifics at home. Why are you still so polite when talking to me?"
"Besides, Cheng Mo has been personally decreed by the Emperor to be a fourth-rank general. How can he be an ordinary citizen?"
When everyone heard this, they were suddenly surprised and delighted. No wonder they hadn't made friends with Gu Xiuyi. It turned out that there was such a big happy event. They were relieved.
Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo rode their horses at top speed all the way to the county town. The road was so crowded that it was impossible to pass through. Magistrate Tan was actually locked in a prison van and paraded through the streets for public display.
Zhao Chengmo stepped forward and blocked the prisoner's way. He took out General Zhaoyi's military contract and said, "Release them."
Bai Xiangyu, the county magistrate who was riding a horse in front, was leading the parade proudly, his heart was filled with joy.
Once Magistrate Tan died, it would be his turn to become the magistrate, and he would then have a legitimate official position.
Sure enough, it is still useful to keep Bai Yiyuan. Once Bai Yiyuan is really taken into the palace to be the imperial envoy's servant, he will have a strong relationship with the high-ranking officials of the court. Is there still any need to worry that he will not have a successful career in the future?
Bai Xiangyu originally thought that he was the focus of people's attention, but he didn't expect that everyone was looking behind him, and he immediately felt unhappy.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, the prison van was already eight feet away from him, as if someone was blocking the van.
"How dare you stop the prison van? I think these people are tired of living!"
Bai Xiangyu rode his horse back and unexpectedly saw Zhao Chengmo.
"Hey, isn't this the most famous evil star in our entire county? You come to join in the fun too. Aren't you afraid of getting others involved?" Bai Xiangyu said this in a sarcastic tone, which made Gu Lingze feel sick.
He produced a silver needle from the secret realm and held it in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he stabbed it directly into the leg of the horse that Bai Xiangyu was riding. The horse's leg cramped and it kicked the man off the horse with its back kick.
After Bai Xiangyu landed, the horse was still stepping on him madly, which frightened him so much that he hugged his head and dared not move.
The people were crowded here in public, and it would be bad if Ma really went crazy and hurt other people, so Gu Lingze moved his fingers, took the silver needle back through telekinesis.
The horses were led aside by the yamen runners behind, and Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo sat on them. Bai Xiangyu had just been helped up from the ground when he saw the condescending and contemptuous looks of the two men, and he immediately became angry.
"You two unruly people! Not only did you dare to ride your horses to stop the prison van in the street, but you also scared my horse. I think you don't want to live anymore!"
Gu Lingze scratched his ears impatiently, "What's making so much noise? It's really annoying."
Bai Xiangyu was furious when he heard this. He pointed at the guards and said, "You are all dead! Hurry up and arrest these two!"
When the bailiffs heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment and remained where they were, without taking any action.
"Bai Xiangyu, I am a fourth-rank general, but you slandered me in public. Do you know what the crime of insubordination is?"
Fourth-rank General Zhaoyi?! Bai Xiangyu's eyes widened instantly.
This is impossible! Even if it is true, how can it bypass the imperial envoy?
Bai Xiangyu stiffened his neck and thought faster, "So what if you are really a fourth-rank general? This is a man that the imperial envoy has personally ordered to be executed. If you dare to stop him, you are committing insubordination!"
Zhao Chengmo sneered, "I have the military officer's iron contract as proof, I wonder what the imperial envoy has as proof?"
"The Imperial Envoy is the Imperial Envoy. Why do I need proof?" Although Bai Xiangyu said this, he felt a little nervous in his heart.
Because the behavior of this imperial envoy was indeed a bit strange. When he arrived in Beiyong Prefecture, instead of inspecting the people's conditions and official affairs, he went to Yunlai Restaurant to eat snacks first, and was poisoned as soon as he ate.
Then they started to deal with the families involved in the case. Moreover, Magistrate Tan was dismissed from office just because he pleaded for those families. Now he is going to be taken to Caishikou and beheaded. This is too exaggerated.
"So, can I also say that I'm the imperial envoy?" Gu Lingze curled the corner of his mouth and looked at him sarcastically.
"How dare you impersonate an official of the imperial court!"
"Then how do you know that person is not an imposter?"
Bai Xiangyu was speechless after hearing what Gu Lingze said, so he quickly sent someone to invite the imperial envoy over.
