Seeing Gu Jiusi taking several deep breaths, his subordinates quickly tried to persuade him:

"Sir, this man is honest and doesn't look like someone who would lie!"

Gu Jiusi's breath was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, and he rolled his eyes because of the choking!

"Sir, I have something important to tell you!" Zheng Da saw that Gu Jiusi didn't say anything and became anxious:

"That day I heard Chen Bochang tell Chen Liushi that he would hide in the mountains fifty miles outside the city for a while, and asked Chen Liushi to take good care of their daughter at home. When the storm calmed down, he would come back naturally, and by then the Chen family would be extremely rich!"

Zheng Da said this and looked up at Gu Jiusi. "My Lord, Chen Bochang must have committed a heinous crime, so he went into the mountains to hide. I used to be a hunter, and I know that the forest in that mountain is deep and the grass is lush. There is a big cave in the deepest part. It is said that there are evil ghosts hidden in it. Every time I pass by from a distance, I can hear the howling of ghosts and wolves, and I never dare to get close. Chen Bochang actually dared to go there. He might be charged with murder!"

Zheng Da became more and more excited as he spoke: "Sir, if Chen Bochang really committed a serious crime, can his house belong to me?"

Gu Jiusi's heart was pounding, even more excited than Zheng Da!

It’s really hard to find anything even if you try hard to find it, and it takes no effort at all to get it!

I originally thought that Chen Bochang was a minor character, but unexpectedly he was actually an important figure!

Sheng Yanhua escaped and actually took him with him!

Gu Jiusi tapped Zheng Da's shoulder heavily and said, "As long as you are willing to lead the way and take me to that cave, I will take charge of this Chen family's house and it will all belong to you!"

Zheng Da's eyes were filled with joy, but he heard Gu Jiusi say again: "But if you dare to lie to me..."

As he spoke, Gu Jiusi exerted force on his hands, causing Zheng Da to scream in pain: "Sir, please show mercy. I will never lie to you!"

Gu Jiusi then let go and ordered his men: "Find a few brothers, disguise as civilians, and guard these two houses. Only people can enter but not leave. If anyone breaks in by force, they will be killed!"

Zheng Da trembled all over, and the fear in his eyes became even stronger!

No wonder everyone says that the general is a gentleman, but the governor who came from a Hanlin Academy is a violent man!

Gu Jiusi brought Zheng Da back to Wuzhou. Ning Weizhou met him and heard Zheng Da talk about Shandong again. After thinking for a while, he immediately stood up:

"Take my badge and go find Admiral Zhao. Ask him to bring two thousand elite soldiers here in person. Sneak into the mountains and make sure to capture him alive!"

Gu Jiusi pointed at his waist and said, "The emperor gave me the patrol battalion and the garrison battalion. I left some people for my second brother, and also left some people for disaster relief in various counties. I still have about 200 people around me. These are all elite troops. Do you want to take them with you?"

Ning Weizhou shook his head: "I have other uses for them. You continue to be the governor of Jiangnan Disaster Relief and just save people and disaster relief. Leave the killing to me!"

Gu Jiusi looked regretful: "I think killing people is a better way to do it!"

When Gu Feiwan heard this, he was naturally scolded again!

"I've never been able to put my heart at ease since I've had a warrior in my family. You're obviously a civil servant, a nobleman, but you're still trying so hard to get close to the most important thing. You're going to drive me crazy!"

Seeing that Gu Feiwan was anxious and angry, Gu Jiusi hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Brother, I will take care of you and the child. Let them fight outside. I will only protect my sister and her child!"

It took a long time to coax Gu Feiwan into calming down.

Gu Hechuan sighed that Gu Feiwan was the pillar of the Gu family!

Although Gu Jiusi never dared to mention his thoughts in front of the elders in the family, Gu Hechuan had long seen that although his nephew was forced to study, the spirit in his bones had never changed!

But the Gu family really can’t produce a military general!

They are now one with Prince Rong and can be considered the direct descendants of the royal family.

From the small things like the emperor's need to support concubines to the big things like the emperor's need to fight wars, most of this money had to be earned by Prince Rong and the Gu family.

If the Gu family can both fight wars and make money, how can the emperor sleep well?

Only if you serve as a civil servant honestly, under the emperor's nose, the emperor will feel at ease even if you quarrel with a group of old ministers in the Golden Palace every day!

The mountains of Ling County and the houses by the Wuzhou Lake were all surrounded on the third day.

Ning Weizhou changed into his casual clothes and carefully checked Gu Feiwan's outfit:

"I didn't want you to go, but I thought, if you see it with your own eyes and vent your anger, you will be much happier than lying in bed!"

Gu Feiwan was wrapped like a giant cicada pupa. She could only see people through two layers of gauze. Everything in front of her was blurry.

"It's wrapped so tightly that I can't even see you clearly!"

"My lady, if you want to see me, when I come back, I will light the lamp myself so that you can see as much as you want. But now I have to go out, and you must not get caught in the wind!"

"But it's getting warm outside. What if I sweat a lot when I'm dressed like this?"

"What's the big deal about sweating? When the time comes, have someone put up a thick curtain and boil lots of hot water, and I'll help you take a bath!"

Seeing that the two were still being affectionate, Qingshuang and Qinglin left the room one after the other.

"The general and the girl have kept it a secret from us!" Qingshuang pouted.

"If the secret wasn't kept tight, would you have been able to keep it to yourself?" Qing Lin asked, and then heaved a long sigh: "You've kept it a secret like this, and they almost succeeded over there, not to mention that nothing has been leaked out here. I'm worried about your brain!"

Qing Shuang nodded in agreement: "If something like this happens again in the future, it's better to keep it from me!"

Nanny Zhu stood in the corridor, watching the two little masters basking in the sun in their nurse's arms.

Seeing Qingshuang and Qinglin standing at the door and talking, he hurried over and asked, "Why aren't you waiting inside? The general is injured, and the girl is still in confinement..."

"Madame Zhu, take a look for yourself. The two of us are fed up with each other!" Qingshuang pointed towards the house.

Madam Zhu looked into the room and immediately smiled: "You are the naughty ones!"

The masters and their wives are loving and affectionate, and this is what servants like to see.

The guards at the Liuyuan Garden are now stricter. Except for the people closest to the masters, no one else is allowed to enter the Ruyi Courtyard.

Lou Yi and Lou Er became the personal bodyguards of the two young masters, and they were inseparable even when they slept at night.

After a while, Gu Feiwan and Ning Weizhou came out. A sedan chair was already waiting in the yard.

The sedan chair was carried by two deputy generals, old men who had followed Ning Weizhou for many years.

Ning Weizhou helped Gu Feiwan sit in the sedan chair: "Is it soft enough? Do you want to add a pillow?"

Gu Feiwan pushed him: "Stand up quickly, don't bend over and press on the wound. I'm already sunken in, why do I need a pillow?"

The sedan went out of the courtyard and landed at the gate. Gu Feiwan changed for a carriage, and the group headed towards the lakeside house in a mighty manner.

The rice fields near the lake were not affected much by the flood. After the water receded, they gradually grew densely.

Lou Er had planted a dozen scarecrows in there, and the holes left behind are no longer visible.
