Wang Ergou's little father saw that no one believed him, and was unwilling to let his son die in such an unknown way. Knowing that the village chief and the others would not agree to report to the official, he decided to go secretly.

So when Wang Dasheng begged for help to carry Wang Ergou's body home, he turned around and found that his troublesome husband had disappeared. He panicked and immediately said to the village chief, "Village chief, My husband is gone!"

The old village head looked around, but he didn't see anyone, so he hurriedly called someone to look for him. The matter of Wang Ergou had nothing to do with Gu Beizhi, but his younger father didn't believe it, so he must have reported to the officials.

Gu Beizhi also guessed it, but he felt that he was not afraid of the slanting shadow. He didn't kill anyone, so he was naturally not afraid of seeing the official, so he told the village chief that there was no need to look for it.

Even if it is suicide, you have to find the police to investigate the reason, right?What's more, it looks like homicide.

However, Gu Beizhi forgot that this is not the 22nd century, this is a feudal dynasty, and once he meets an official, things are not as simple as he thought.

Although the people who went to find Wang Ergou's little father captured him, within two days, he ran away again while Wang Dasheng was attending to Wang Ergou's funeral. Not long after he ran away this time, Gu Beizhi was arrested. The yamen servant took it away from the store.

"Who is Gu Beizhi?" Four or five yamen servants came to the door and asked aggressively.

Fortunately, because Bao Yixuan was dealing in antiques, there were not many customers in normal times, and there happened to be no customers at this moment, otherwise it would affect the business of the store.Gu Beizhi heard the movement, came out from behind, saw the servants, cupped his hands and said, "I have met all the officials, the student is Gu Beizhi, I don't know why I am looking for a student?"

"Catch it!" The leading yamen servant said nothing, and asked someone to arrest him, and tied his hands with chains to pull him out.

Gu Beizhi suddenly felt bad. He has a reputation. If it wasn't for someone's instruction, the yamen servants would never dare to tie him up so directly, and they wouldn't even give him a reason.

"Gentlemen, may I ask what crime did Gu do? Gu has been cautious in his words and deeds since he was born in the middle school, and he really doesn't know which law he has violated?!" Gu Beizhi struggled, pointing out to several yamen servants. A matter of fame.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the servants didn't care, and the four of them pushed and pulled him, "Don't play tricks with my brothers on the prestige of the scholar. If you kill someone, your reputation will be revoked soon."

Seeing this, shopkeeper Du hurried up to stop him, "Everyone, let me have a word."

Baoyixuan is the property of the Xu family. The Xu family is more famous in Huolu Town than the Zheng family. Even the mayor has to be polite when he sees it. Naturally, the servants will not disrespect the Xu family. He said to Shopkeeper Du, "What the shopkeeper wants to say is better to tell the mayor, we are just following orders."

"I understand, it's just that Gu Beizhi is the appraiser of our Baoyixuan. If you kidnap people so ignorantly, it's not good to talk about our Baoyixuan's reputation. You might as well tell me what he did. What happened? The old man should be prepared."

The yamen servants saw that the old shopkeeper was blocking the door, and it seemed that he would not let him go unless he said anything, so the yamen servant in the lead said, "This morning, a villager from Wangjia Village came to report the case, saying that Gu Beizhi had deliberately married his son because he had a relationship with his son. Poisoned and murdered his son, resulting in his death. After the mayor checks, let us bring the criminal to justice."

"Nonsense, I have always been kind to others and have never had any enemies. I have to work in Baoyixuan during the day and Mr. Xixi in the evening. How can I commit crimes? Besides, if this is against me, what should I do?" How to feed poison into the mouth of the dead?"

Gu Beizhi already knew who reported the case, but he didn't expect that the mayor would convict him without even asking him to inquire about the situation, a stupid official!

Shopkeeper Du was deeper than he thought. Although the mayor was not smart, he would not easily offend a young janitor. Someone must have instigated it behind his back, but he didn't expect who did it?

Since Gu Beizhi has already taken up a job in Baoyixuan, two-thirds of the people in the town will give him face if he is under the protection of the Xu family. In addition, Gu Beizhi is still the teacher of the young master of the Liu family, and the remaining one-third I will never lose face.

Why did the mayor choose to offend Liu and Xu at the same time?

"Everyone, Gu Beizhi is the youngest gran student in Huolu Town, and he is also well-known by the county magistrate. Besides, he is now the teacher of the eldest son Liu Yuanwai. If this is a misunderstanding, I'm afraid Liu Yuanwai Not happy at first...”

Yamen servants, look at me, I look at you, I don’t know what to do, they just follow the mayor’s words to arrest people, the mayor also asked them to make a big show, and finally dragged Gu Beizhi down the street with the most people Pass.

If they can't finish it, they probably have to take the lead, but if they really offend Yuanwai Liu, then the mayor will protect them?I'm afraid they will just throw them out to calm Liu Yuanwai.

Shopkeeper Du saw their hesitation, and added another sentence, "The mayor is over seventy years old, and Liu Yuan's family is well-connected. Everyone should understand in their hearts which is stronger and weaker."

Generally, those who are mayors are mostly down-and-out Juren or people with high local reputation, who are one level lower than small officials like county magistrates. They will not be promoted without major achievements in their lives. Their current mayors are He has been in office for 20 years, and recently he is trying to find a way to move up, not for himself, but for his son to take over as mayor.

But it is a pity that his son is already 40 years old, and he is still a scholar. He may not be able to pass the exam, so the old mayor tried every means to give his son a chance. Whether he succeeds depends on his fate.

The yamen servants thought about it, the old mayor couldn't hold on for a few years, and the Liu family had people in the capital. If they offended the mayor, they would at most be scolded, at worst, they would send some money to the mayor. There is nothing to say.

After thinking about it, the five of them immediately decided to let go of Gu Beizhi, as long as they brought him back and he was seen, it would not be considered a violation of the mayor's order.

Gu Beizhi originally didn't want to go with them, but shopkeeper Du advised him not to confront the government directly, and gave the mayor an excuse, so it would be difficult to get rid of the stigma later.Gu Beizhi had no choice but to leave with a few yamen servants. As he expected, he was thrown into prison without seeing the mayor at all.

Huolu Town is relatively small, and there are no major criminals, most of them are petty theft. If caught, they will be locked up for two or three days before being released. This prison is often empty, except for rats, ants, insects and spiders, there is no one. .

After Gu Beizhi was thrown in, the yamen guard locked the door and left. The light in the cell was dim, Gu Beizhi was the only one, and the rustling around was the only sound besides him.

I don't know if it was intentional or not. Gu Beizhi was locked up alone for a long time, and no one came to interrogate him, and there was no food delivery. It seemed that he was forgotten here, and he could only be with the rat ants.

On the other side, shopkeeper Du asked Xiaoding to go to Wangjiacun to inform Gu Beizhi's family. Xiaoding directly hired a carriage and rushed to Wangjiacun as quickly as possible, while shopkeeper Du went back to Xu's mansion to inform Xu Zhenrong.

Xu Zhenrong stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and felt that this was a good opportunity, no matter who wanted to destroy Gu Beizhi, he could take the opportunity once and for all, and no one would know about the Beaulieu Bottle anymore.

"I see, Uncle Du went back and took a good look at the store." Xu Zhenrong said with a smile, meaning that regardless of Gu Beizhi, shopkeeper Du wanted to say a few words for Gu Beizhi, but Xu Zhenrong had already left impatiently. , he could only return to the store with a sigh.

Xu Zhenrong hadn't seen Zheng Er for several days, and now he had an excuse, and was anxious to go to Zheng's mansion to meet his sweetheart, how could he have the time to listen to Shopkeeper Du's plea?But when he arrived at Zheng's mansion, he told Zheng Eryi about this, but Zheng Er slapped him, "Hurry up and save people!"

"Why save him? If he dies in prison like this this time, won't outsiders know about the Beaulieu bottle?"

Zheng Er glared at him, "Xing'an sent the Panlong bottle to Liu's house yesterday, and Liu Yuanwai already knew that Gu Beizhi was involved in it. Xing'an meant that Liu Yuanwai valued Gu Beizhi very much, and once Gu Beizhi He didn’t die, he found that our two families didn’t reach out to protect him, do you think this secret can still be kept?”

Pointing to his forehead, "I told you, don't be too ruthless in doing things, why do you always want to kill people?!"

Xu Zhenrong was not annoyed, but instead hugged Zheng Er, "Isn't this only the dead who can keep it secret forever? Can't I change it in the future?"

"Come on, don't get bored, go and see what the mayor of Huolu Town is up to." Zheng Er pushed Xu Zhenrong out, and Xu Zhenrong stole a scent on his face before going to rescue Gu Beizhi.

After all, the Xu family is a big family in Huolu Town. In the past, the relationship with the mayor was maintained by a lot of money, and the mayor had to give him the face of Mr. Xu, so he went around in circles, never letting go. Gu Beizhi.

Xu Zhenrong was puzzled. Gu Beizhi, a young talented man, has a bright future, and most people are willing to make friends with him.The old man like the mayor is even more outstanding. He usually makes friends with countless scholars. Even the only Juren in Huolu Town has a good relationship with the mayor. How come Gu Beizhi got so upset when he came here?

Gu Beizhi did not offend this old thing, Xu Zhenrong squinted his eyes and continued to entangle with him.This caused Gu Beizhi to be imprisoned for most of the day and no one cared about him, because the light was dim and there were only rats and ants. The psychological pressure caused Gu Beizhi to think that a long time had passed, but in fact it had only been half a day.

With Xu Zhenrong here, it's not easy for the mayor to take action against Gu Beizhi, so he can only procrastinate like this. Anyway, it's still a long time, so it's okay to go hungry first.

On the other end, Brother Ding found the Gu family, knocked on the door, and yelled as he knocked, "Gu family, Gu Beizhi was taken away!"

When Guan Zhou opened the door, he heard clearly what he was shouting, and he was stunned, "What did you say?"

Brother Ding was sweating all over his head, "Gu Fulang, your husband was arrested by the yamen servants, saying that he poisoned and killed someone, you should go to the town and have a look!"

Guan Zhou's eyes darkened, and he was about to fall back and faint. Brother Tian supported him and pinched him hard. Guan Zhou woke up from the pain again, "Bei Zhi didn't kill anyone. , Wang Ergou didn't kill him!"

Brother Xiao Ding also mentioned that he was anxious, "It's no use telling me, you have to go to the yamen to convince the official!"

"Yes, I have to see the official! I have to go to the yamen!" Guan Zhou grabbed Tian Ge'er's hand and was about to run out.

Brother Tian quickly grabbed him, "Master, don't worry, let's go to the village chief first, and ask the village chief to go with us. This will be more convincing than the master going alone."

Guan Zhou was already in a panic, his mind went blank, and he subconsciously followed Tian Geer's words. Tian Geer asked Chongming to take two children to stay at home, and he accompanied Guan Zhou to find the village chief.

The carriage hired by Xiao Ding happened to come in handy, Tian Geer paid some more money and asked the coachman to take them to the village head's house. The speed of the carriage was not slow, and he arrived at the old village head soon. Guan Zhou's nervous words were out of order After a trick, he managed to suppress the tension in his heart and speak clearly.

The old village chief was also a sensible person, so he asked his son to call Wang Dasheng at Wang Ergou's house. them.

Brother Tian held Guan Zhou's hand tightly, and comforted him in a low voice, "Don't panic, master, we'll talk about it when we get to the yamen to see the situation, don't panic, the master is still waiting for the master."

Guan Zhou's heart beat fast, he became dizzy, and even trembled all over. He held Tian Ge'er's hand so strong that Tian Ge'er felt so painful that his fingers were about to break, "It will be fine, right?"

"Yes, my lord, don't panic." Tian Ge'er said firmly, but he didn't know what to do.

When they arrived in the town and asked to see the mayor, they were told that the mayor was receiving distinguished guests and no one was there. When they asked about Gu Beizhi, he said that he was already in prison and no one was allowed to visit him.

Guan Zhou begged for a long time, but the yamen servant refused to let him visit. Guan Zhou had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "I want to report the crime!"

It's okay for him to seek grievances, right? !He must see Gu Beizhi today. Gu Beizhi didn't kill anyone, so why should he be locked up?

With this breath, Guan Zhou pushed away the blocking hand of the old village chief and waited in front of the town yamen. The yamen officer confirmed again and again, "Do you really want to report the crime?"

"Yes! I want to sue Wang Dasheng's husband, Mrs. Yang, for slandering my husband and killing people! My husband is a granary under the court's order, but Mrs. Yang has slandered his reputation time and time again. I want to report to the officials! Please, the mayor, please make the decision for me!" After speaking, Guan Zhou knelt down with a thud.

Kneeling straight at the gate of the town yamen, the people who came and went heard it and formed a circle, ready to watch the excitement.But they were quite puzzled. Zhao Guo valued fame and fame, and ordinary scholars could see that they would not kneel below the county magistrate. If they were born under the county magistrate, although there was no express regulation, they would not let their wives kneel before the county magistrate and below.

Husband and wife are one body, insulting their husband is insulting themselves, no one would do that, Guan Zhou's kneeling like this, although it is in accordance with the law, it undoubtedly reveals the mayor's toughness.The yamen servant hurriedly covered his face, urged him to get up, and forced the husband to kneel down. Isn't this ruining his future?

Brother Tian also went to help him, and whispered in his ear, "My lord, you are the husband of the housekeeper, don't kneel down easily."

After all, Guan Zhou's face represented Gu Beizhi. Guan Zhou had always been an ordinary or even a little brother with no status before, and he didn't have this awareness at all. He felt that he shouldn't be like this, but his fear of Gu Beizhi got the upper hand and blinded his brain.

"It's this time, why can't I kneel? My husband is innocent and alone, he was framed and murdered, and the mayor didn't find out and sent him to jail. What else can I kneel?" Guan Zhou Shaking off Brother Tian's hand, he shouted, "Please let my husband go, he is innocent!"

The people around heard it, and more people came together, and they all defended him, but there were also jealous ones who spoke bitter words, Guan Zhou didn't care, he stared at the gate of the town office, waiting for the mayor to come out.

The yamen servant couldn't stop him, so he hurried to the backyard of the yamen, "My lord, it's too bad, Gu Linsheng's husband knelt down at the yamen's gate and called for grievances!"

"What?!" The old mayor almost pulled his beard off.
