Hope for luck

Chapter 69
Hearing Zhou Zhengxin's slightly sarcastic words, Geng Gengchen felt a little annoyed in his heart, and quickly retorted:

"Didn't Master Zhou be full of confidence before, saying that his troubles are about to come? How come the hard times have become yourself, Master Zhou?"

Zhou Zhengxin said, his face changed slightly, and the anger in his heart also came up, but after looking at Geng Gengchen again, Zhou Zhengxin still suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice:
"Right now, let's stop complaining about ourselves, and think about how to make him stumble, otherwise, you and I can only rely on him!"

After hearing this, Geng Gengchen felt that the words were reasonable, so he no longer had a sarcasm, but said with a soft snort:
"Hmph, let me be a subordinate to a person who has no hair on his mouth. There is no door, unless I die!"

"You can keep your voice down, let the neighbors hear you, and you and I will be miserable!"

Seeing that Geng Gengchen seemed to be full of disbelief, Zhou Zhengxin quickly motioned him not to be too loud.

After hearing this, Geng Gengchen subconsciously looked in the direction of the Gaopan courtyard, but he couldn't see anything because of a wall.

However, Geng Gengchen still said cruelly:

"Even if he is here, so what? He dared to arrest Mr. Wei, and his death is imminent!"

When Zhou Zhengxin said this, his eyes flashed, and he asked quickly:
"Wei Yan'an was arrested, what did you do? Also, did he promise you anything?"

After hearing this, Geng Gengchen raised his eyebrows, sat on the guest seat in the room, and then said doubtfully:
"I quickly sent a document to the prefect to inform the matter, but guess what?"

Zhou Zhengxin said, his face was stunned:
"Could it be that the magistrate told you not to take care of it?"

"How did you know?"

Geng Gengchen looked at Zhou Zhengxin in disbelief and said, seemingly surprised.

"Nonsense, if the prefect thinks that Gao Pan has done something wrong, he would have sent someone here long ago, and, Mr. Geng, you don't have to come and talk to me with a resentful face!"

Zhou Zhengxin's thinking was very clear, and he said very disapprovingly.

These words made Geng Gengchen's face a little embarrassed, and he quickly changed the subject:
"It is reasonable to say that Gao Pan and Lu Zhifu have no friendship. If you know that Gao Pan is so bold, you should reprimand him not to mention sending someone here. This situation seems a bit wrong now!"

Zhou Zhengwen also frowned and thought about it, and the room fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Geng Gengchen broke the silence:

"Master Zhou thinks, how can we make him stumble now?"

Zhou Zhengxin said, squinted his eyes, and then said:
"Without him, one will release Wei Yan'an, and the other will send a letter to Lord Du Si. With two prongs, even if Gao Pan survives, the county magistrate has achieved success!"

Hearing this, Geng Gengchen's eyes instantly brightened up. Why didn't he think of sending a letter to Mr. Du Si?
If it had been done sooner, I am afraid that Master Du Si should have received the letter and made a decision now!

Thinking of this, Geng Gengchen felt a little regretful and regretful, wasting a lot of time in vain.

"Wonderful, it seems that he is doomed this time, but in this prison, you and I have no right to govern!"

After thinking for a while, Geng Gengchen stared at Zhou Zhengxin and said.

"It's okay, now is not the time to talk about the rules, he dared to detain Wei Yan'an and the food supervision team, and he didn't intend to act according to common sense at all. If that's the case, why should we be polite to him?"

Zhou Zhengxin said darkly, his eyes fixed on a certain place, as if there was something precious to him that he attached great importance to.

"Okay, this time I'm going to listen to Mr. Zhou. We have to knock Gao Pan down completely this time. Otherwise, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and it will be you and me who will suffer." !"

Seeing this, Geng Gengchen stroked his short beard and said, looking very serious and sincere.

"Master Geng means that you don't need to work hard, right?"

When Zhou Zheng heard the news, he suddenly heard something different and asked quickly.

"Haha, what about Mr. Zhou, the lower officials will naturally obey Mr. Zhou. It seems that some trivial matters are left to the lower officials, such as writing letters to Mr. Du Si!"

Geng Gengchen hurriedly replied with a haha.

After Zhou Zhengxin heard this, anger suddenly rose in his heart. What Geng Gengchen said was to say that Zhou Zhengxin should do risky things.

And the matter of showing his face in front of Mr. Du Si to ask for credit was done by Geng Gengchen!
How does this make Zhou Zhengxin not angry?
"Lord Zhou, calm down. The letter written by the lower official to Lord Dusi is naturally a joint letter between the lower official and Lord Zhou. With Lord Zhou in front and the lower official behind, Lord Zhou will definitely not suffer. Besides, Mr. Wei The lower officials are not familiar with such things as being rescued from prison, so they can only write paperwork!"

Geng Gengchen saw Zhou Zhengxin's anger, and quickly explained with a smile on his face.

Zhou Zhengxin said that his complexion improved slightly, but his expression was still gloomy:

"This division of labor is also fine, but I have to read the contents of the letter, and I have to write down my credit for rescuing Mr. Wei!"

Geng Gengchen nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic:
"Yes, yes, the next official will do it!"

Seeing Geng Gengchen's gentle attitude, seeming to really be dominated by him, Zhou Zhengxin regained his expression and became peaceful.

"Lord Zhou, I heard from the lower officials that all the maidservants in Gao Pan's backyard have been replaced!"

After Zhou Zhengxin's expression returned to normal, Geng Gengchen continued to say a small matter.

"Oh? It's just a few maidservants? So what?"

Zhou Zhengxin didn't understand the meaning of Geng Gengchen's words, so he said very disapprovingly.

"Master Zhou underestimated these maids and servants, right? Gao Pan's clothing, clothing, food and accommodation are all controlled by them, if..."

Geng Gengchen said with a wicked smile on his face, but he didn't say anything when he reached the end.

And Zhou Zhengxin naturally understood what he was going to say, quickly waved his hand, and said contemptuously:

"Is this kind of secret thing done by a real man? This time he is doomed, so why use such low-level methods?"

Saying that, Zhou Zhengxin glanced at Geng Gengchen, paused, and said calmly:
"I advise Mr. Geng to be brighter in his heart, don't always think about these insidious tricks, and be careful of backlash in the future, someone will use such means to murder you!"

After Geng Gengchen heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, and then he said embarrassingly:

"Master Zhou's words are very true. The official just said that we can take some extraordinary measures if we have to!"

After Zhou Zhengxin heard this, his heart moved, and he felt that this was a way out. However, his face remained calm and he did not make any further comments.

In his opinion, there are many ways to bring Gao Pan down, and there is no need to use such low-handed methods. If someone finds out, it will damage his reputation, and it will be difficult for him to make further progress in the officialdom!

When Geng Gengchen saw this, he thought in his heart that Zhou Zhengxin was a sanctimonious hypocrite, who spoke contemptuously, but stabbed him in the back, without ambiguity at all!
Then, the two talked about some daily things, and then Geng Gengchen left Zhou Zhengxin's courtyard and returned to his government office.
