After the rebirth of the queen princess, her farming is also overwhelmed!

Chapter 86 Innocent Heart (fourth update)

After all, he was once a famous Tongpan-sama, but he was dismissed because he made a mistake and offended the Futai-sama.

Nalanjing knew that officialdom had always been like this, that Zhou Gu had no background, and that Su Zhi, as his immediate superior, wanted to control him with just one word.

The carriage made a long circuit before seeing the plaque of the Zhou Mansion in a dilapidated alley.

The house should have been built when Zhou Gu was still in office, but it is still so dilapidated. One can imagine how careless he was in this regard.

Su Shirong stayed with Su Zimo for two days, but he was really worried about Zhou Gu, so he went back to Zhou's mansion again.

On the day of Su Minyue's wedding, Su Shirong was assassinated on the way, and the Zhou Mansion was also surrounded by killers. Fortunately, when Su Shirong left, he left most of the people in the Zhou Mansion and did not let them succeed.

It's just that Zhou Gu's sister was injured in her arm because she blocked a sword for Zhou Gu.

Su Shirong went to Zhou Shuangyi's room to see her. When he came out, he saw Zhou Gu standing in the courtyard with a sad look on his face.

At first, they thought that as long as they had the official seal given by the eldest princess and waited for the documents from the court, Zhou Gu could work in the government office. But looking at the behavior of Su Zhi and the Zhao family...

They were worried that the entire Youzhou government office was colluding, and they would turn a blind eye to the documents from the imperial court, assuming that Zhao Tongzhi was following his lead.

They can't go to the eldest princess for this kind of thing. The eldest princess has given them a chance. Whether they can secure their position in the palace depends on their own ability.

If they don't even have this ability, how can they have the honor to meet the eldest princess?

Zhou Gu: "Brother Su, if something happens to me, my sister will be entrusted to you."

Su Shirong's brows jumped: "Brother Zhou, don't say such depressing words, we still have a chance."

Zhou Gu smiled bitterly: "They must have guessed something to send someone to assassinate me. I don't think I can get out of this door."

Now that he had guessed it, how could Zhao Tongzhi be willing to give up? He would definitely kill Zhou Gu before the imperial document was issued.

Su Shirong frowned. Before he could say anything, the concierge suddenly ran in, panting: "Master... there are three people outside looking for you. One of the women said that her husband's surname is Rong, and she calls herself Mrs. Rong."

Zhou's mansion is not big, but Zhou Shuangyi's courtyard is remote, and the concierge is worried that the guests will wait for a long time, so he rushes over.

When Su Shirong and Zhou Gu knew it was Nalanjing, their eyes lit up and they hurried to the door of the house to pick him up.

Nalanjing was a little surprised when she saw Su Shirong. She came to see Zhou Gu, but she didn't expect Su Shirong to be there. It was great.

After saying hello, the group entered the main room of Zhou Mansion.

Zhou's mansion is very simple inside and out. There are only a few chairs and a table in the main room.

Zhou Gu wanted to boil water to make tea, but Nalanjing dissuaded him.

Zhou Gu explained with some embarrassment: "The servants are all gone. I usually boil water by myself, so it's not troublesome."

He said, ignoring Nalanjing's dissuasion, and went to the kitchen to boil water.

The county magistrate looked at Rong Xuan and Nalan Jing in confusion: Can this person really help them?

However, Nalanjing admired Zhou Gu a little. They said that it was difficult for a noble man from a poor family to remember his original intention. Zhou Gu had been an official for nine years, but he could still be calm and composed even after being down and out. This alone was enough to make people awe-inspiring.

Zhou Gu boiled the water, and Nalanjing took out the teapot, put some tea leaves in it, washed the bowls again, and poured a bowl of hot tea for everyone.

Rong Xuan held the bowl with a corner missing and took a sip of hot tea.

Su Shirong didn't drink, he was helping Zhou Gu wipe the cigarette ashes from his body.

Su Shirong sighed: "Brother Zhou, why are you so stubborn..."

He gave Zhou Gu a thousand taels of silver, but Zhou Gu didn't ask for it. Su Shirong was not willing to pay for the food and clothing in the mansion these days.

After a few people sat down, Nalanjing talked about the purpose of this trip.

Nalanjing: "Brother Zhou, eldest son, have you ever heard of Wanhua Tower?"

The expressions of Su Shirong and Zhou Gu both changed, and they looked at her with a serious look.

Su Shirong: "Is it the Wanhua Building on Hua Street?"

The county magistrate nodded vigorously on the side: "That's right there. Qingshan Town recently encountered a murder case. The criminal confessed that Wanhualou was doing business in selling human lives. The criminal was one of the killers who worked for Wanhualou."

Su Shirong said in a solemn tone: "That is the property of the Zhao family, the largest flower building in Fucheng Flower Street. You should know that Zhao Tongzhi is my father's right-hand man."

Zhou Gu said equally seriously: "Wanhua Tower has stood for more than ten years. It is a murder weapon in the hands of Zhao Tongzhi and Su Zhi. Anything that Zhao Tongzhi and Su cannot do openly will be done by Wanhua Tower. You guys

If you want to move them just based on a murder case and a single charge, I'm afraid..."

The county magistrate knew that it would be difficult to move Wanhua Tower, but he did not expect that it was the property of the Zhao family, and it was said that it was still the power of Zhao Tongzhi and Su Futai.

It is truly appalling that officials collude and make a living by killing people.

The county magistrate was angry, frightened, frightened, and happy at the same time.

Fortunately, Brother Rong has the foresight and knows how to detect the power of Wanhua Tower in advance.

The Zhao family and the Su family were so evil-minded that they did not dare to act rashly even if the imperial officials came.

The county magistrate secretly looked at Rong Xuan: "Brother Rong, you think the situation is not good. Why don't we go back first and execute Li Kui?"

Rong Xuan glanced at him with calm eyes, a sharp blade clearly shining in his eyes, as if shooting through him at Zhao and Su.

The county magistrate seemed to understand what he meant and was ready to fight to the death. He said with a hint of stiffness on his face: "Brother Rong, this is the capital of Youzhou. What can we do to destroy Su Futai and Zhao Tongzhi's lair?"

Rong Xuan put one hand on the table and leaned against the chair, his back still straight, and his sharp eyes showed no signs of loosening.

The county magistrate looked at Nalanjing for help, wanting her to persuade Rong Xuan.

Nalan Jing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips. Did the county magistrate forget that he was actually the county magistrate, and Rong Xuan was just a temporary "handyman" at best? Why did he let Rong Xuan do whatever he wanted?

The county magistrate actually knew very well in his heart that he did not need to listen to Rong Xuan's words, but he was completely impressed by Rong Xuan's talent in handling cases. He could vaguely see the innocence behind Rong Xuan's ruthless face.

It is not for personal gain, he wants to kill the monsters and monsters, and restore the world to a bright world, with the sun and moon shining brightly.

Nalanjing thought of something and looked at Zhou Gu: "Brother Zhou, how long will it take for the documents from the court to arrive?"

Zhou Gu: "Probably there's still some time left."

The journey from the imperial court to Youzhou takes about one month by car and horse, and about twenty days by fast horse. The round trip takes more than a month.

Su Shirong frowned and suddenly said: "Brother Zhou, Zhao Tongzhi is lawless, greedy and deceitful. We can't wait any longer."

Zhou Gu raised his head: "Su Zhi is still in Youzhou, and the troops and horses in the capital are in their hands, how can we move?"
