Chapter 375 Search
Liang Zhou naturally knew that Gongsun Yushu's words were still a test.
If there is even the slightest mistake in your answer and the other party becomes suspicious, all the efforts you have put in to set up will be wasted.
Liang Zhou smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice and said, "To be honest with you, Brother Gongsun, I accidentally overheard this guy talking to that old man Ding Wangyuan last night."
"What are the specific contents? ... They also mentioned the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion and some evidence or something."
Gongsun Yushu became a little nervous when he heard this.
"What did they say?"
Liang Zhou looked at him helplessly, "I'm standing outside the door, how can I hear clearly? Anyway, the few words he said seemed to be detrimental to the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion."
"So today I lied to this kid and told him that I discovered a secret related to the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion in the suburbs."
"Hey, as expected! As soon as the kid heard it, he followed right after me."
As Liang Zhou spoke, he began to laugh. Gongsun Yushu also laughed and patted Liang Zhou on the shoulder.
"Hahaha...Mr. Liang still has a solution."
Liang Zhou was laughing, but suddenly changed the subject and the expression on his face became gossipy.
"But Brother Gongsun, I'm curious, what grudge did your Ning'an Marquis' Mansion have with that Ding guy? Why did he want to deal with you?"
Liang Zhou looked at Gongsun Yushu and hesitated for a moment, then added considerately:
"Well, if it's inconvenient to talk about it, then forget it. The main thing is that I have long disliked the father and son surnamed Ding."
Liang Zhou looked at Gongsun Yushu's right arm, which was like a dry stick, and an envious look appeared on his face again.
"Brother Gongsun, you have saved the Crown Prince from disaster. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for you, there would be no Crown Prince today.
Brother Gongsun is the prince's benefactor, so who the hell is Ding Wangyuan? How dare he criticize the Bo family?"
Seeing that Liang Zhou was so united in their hatred of the enemy and personally sent Gong Shao over, Gongsun Yushu finally dispelled all his doubts.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang. Our Bo Mansion and Prefect Ding do have some conflicts. Alas... in the end, it's just a matter of tea and horses.
Our Bo Mansion purchases tea from the public on behalf of King Zhenbei. We use our own abilities to buy more tea with the same price in exchange for more war horses. This is all for the country and for the stability of the country!
That Ding guy doesn't understand the overall situation at all. He insists on picking on those one or two common people, just to gain fame and reputation."
Liang Zhou agreed with this, "These civil officials are just like this. A few common people are nothing. He doesn't understand the overall situation of the King of Zhenbei and the Lord, so he will interfere just to gain a good reputation for himself."
Gongsun Yushu seemed to have found a soulmate and praised: "Mr. Liang is really a wise man!"
Liang Zhou put his hands on Gongsun Yushu's shoulders.
"Brother Gongsun, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter.
That Ding guy is picking on Ning'an Marquis's Mansion, and that means he is picking on me.
If you make things difficult for me, you are making things difficult for the Prince's Mansion.
If you make things difficult for the Prince's House, you are making things difficult for my aunt and His Majesty!"
After Liang Zhou finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and seemed to have thought of a brilliant idea.
"Brother Gongsun, I have a plan that will not only get the Ding father and son out of Yunzhou City forever.
The family can also be confiscated and their property exterminated to relieve the hatred of Brother Gongsun and Master Bo."
…
It was already late at night when Liang Zhou returned to the prefectural government office. As soon as he entered, several people who had been waiting inside immediately came to greet him.
Seeing that Gong Shao did not come back with him, everyone knew that the plan was successful, but they felt even heavier in their hearts.
Although they acted quickly and could distract Gongsun Yushu, it was still a risky move to hand Gong Shao over to him. No one could be sure whether Gongsun Yushu would suddenly want to kill him to vent his anger.
Worrying at this time is useless, Zhu Lan said in a deep voice:
"Everyone hurry up and act according to the plan."
…
The moon was dim and the stars were sparse, but lanterns were still hung on a street in Yunzhou City.
That is the largest theater in Yunzhou City.
A sedan chair stopped at the door and Liao Xing walked out of the theater, still humming the opera script.
As a drama fan, no matter how big the incident was in Yunzhou City, it would not stop him from coming to listen to the drama.
The four servants who were carrying the sedan lowered their heads. Liao Xing hummed a tune, did not look closely, lifted the curtain and got into the sedan.
The sedan chair traveled for quite a while, and Liao Xing estimated that it was almost time to return to the county government office.
Sure enough, the sedan stopped.
Liao Xing twisted his sore neck and was about to go back to soak his feet, but suddenly he frowned.
Why is there no one to hold up the sedan chair? There is not even anyone to lift the curtain for me.
These servants are becoming more and more unruly!
Liao Xing was a little unhappy. He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair himself, but suddenly froze.
It's so desolate around here, where is the county government?
Liao Xing got down from the sedan chair, looked around, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Where are the sedan bearers? Where have all the sedan bearers gone?
What is this place!?
He panicked, and the next moment, a sword blade as thin as a cicada's wing was across his neck, and a cold female voice came from behind him.
"Liao County Magistrate, if you want to live, follow me."
…
For the next two days, Yunzhou City seemed very peaceful, and the Jiayu County Government Office in the main city was even more deserted.
Occasionally, a few people came to quarrel over trivial matters, but the county magistrate did not go to court. In the end, people from the prefectural yamen came forward to help mediate.
At dusk, when it was getting dark, the gate of the county government office was suddenly knocked on.
"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!" The sound sounded very impatient.
The two lawyers in the county government office opened the door quickly and when they saw the people outside, they were surprised and said:
"Little uncle?"
Gongsun Yushu didn't even bother to look at them and asked directly, "Where is County Magistrate Liao?"
The two masters looked at each other with bitter expressions.
"Young Master, please understand. Our master has been missing for two days..."
"Gone?" Gongsun Yushu frowned.
Forget it. It doesn’t matter whether Liao Xing is here or not for what he needs to do tonight. He just needs to borrow some manpower from the government.
There are some things that cannot be done in the name of Ning'an Earl's Mansion.
He asked the two lawyers, "How many people can the county government mobilize now?"
The lawyer replied, "There are thirty-eight yamen runners."
Gongsun Yushu nodded, "Call everyone and follow me!"
