That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 136 The world is impermanent, and people's hearts are unpredictable (50,000 rewards second update)

   Biyang Mansion, government office.

  When Gu Qingci saw the prefect of Biyang Prefecture, he immediately handed over the token and said, "Prefect Zhou, I'm Gu Qingci."

   Governor Zhou took the token, checked it, and for a moment, his pupils widened, and then hurriedly returned the token to Gu Qingci, saying: "It turns out that it is Mr. Gu, I have admired it for a long time!"

  Gu Qing resigned and said: "Prefect Zhou, I came here today to explain about yesterday's Majia Village..."

"No, no, no," Zhou Zhifu hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Yesterday, Catcher Wang has come back and told me that it was all a misunderstanding. Mr. Gu, don't take it to heart. Don't worry, those unreasonable clan elders in Majia Village, I will definitely educate them myself, how can they do such a dirty thing!"

  Gu Qingci looked confused, the magistrate's attitude was a bit too much, he cupped his hands and said: "Then, thank you sir."

   "No, no, no," Zhou Zhifu hurriedly said: "Master Gu, you are busy, and the government will not delay your time. Please take care of yourself and handle your affairs as soon as possible."

   "Uh..." Gu Qingci looked at Zhou Zhifu blankly, and said, "My lord, are you sure there is nothing wrong?"

"No problem," Zhou Zhifu said calmly: "It's absolutely no problem, Mr. Gu, don't worry, I, Mr. Zhou, spit on each other, and leave all the affairs of the Ma family to me. I will definitely satisfy you. convenient."

  This week, the magistrate has already issued two orders to evict guests, and he readily agreed to it. Even if Gu Qingci was puzzled, he couldn't stay in a slumber, so he cupped his hands and said, "Then... I will leave!"

  Gu Qing resigned and went to the government office, but soon came out again.

He is full of ignorance now, and always feels weird. He originally thought that he might have conflicts with the prefect, or at least he would be made things difficult because he won the prefect's face yesterday. Somewhat unbelievable.

   Moreover, the prefect's attitude is also very good. He can say anything, has no opinions at all, and does not need to explain at all. He directly achieved the goal of Gu Qingci, making Gu Qingci a little suspicious, whether he was unnecessary.

  Gu Qingci walked out of the mansion in a daze, and asked Yan Bo: "Yan Bo, do you notice something is wrong, isn't the magistrate too talkative?"

   "Well," Yan Bo nodded, and said, "My lord, I don't think the prefect is easy to talk to, but he seems to want you to leave quickly, my lord, as if...you are a plague god."

   "Uh... your metaphor is inappropriate!" Gu Qingci said speechlessly.

"But, that's really the case," Yan Bo said solemnly: "Didn't you realize, my lord, that the prefect of Zhou only wanted you to leave quickly from the beginning to the end, and he seemed a little flustered, especially... seeing your order After the card."

  After Yan Bo said this, Gu Qingci immediately frowned. He also realized that this was the case. After recalling it carefully, he found that the performance of the prefect this week was indeed not like a prefect.

   "Uncle Yan... Tell me, is there something wrong with the magistrate this week?" Gu Qingci said.

Yan Bo shook his head, and said: "No, I think it's more appropriate that the problem lies with you, my lord. It may be that something happened that you don't even know about... Hey, my lord, look, is it the arrester yesterday? , let’s ask him, maybe he will know the reason.”

  Gu Qingci followed the direction Yan Bo pointed at, just in time to see the head catcher Wang Yin walking towards the yamen yesterday with a knife in his waist.

  Gu Qingci narrowed his eyes, although he was not worried that the prefect would plot against him, but the doubt in his heart was always lingering, so he walked over and stopped Wang Yin.

Wang Yin is a headhunter in Biyang Mansion, and his daily job is to lead people around to find the streets. Today, he found that many people in the rivers and lakes have changed, and even listened to Yunshan Villa and Chen's family. Immediately felt that something might have happened , and hurried back to the government office to meet the magistrate.

Wang Yin is very angry now. He was sent to arrest people yesterday, but he almost lost his life. Today, when he went to the street, something happened again. He felt that his life was unlucky. Looking for an exit to disperse the fire, he immediately raised his head and was ready to vent.

However, as soon as he raised his head, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He was so frightened that he shivered all over, and hurriedly took back the words he had said, with a smile on his face, and said, "It turns out that Gu My lord, I don't know what orders Master Gu has to stop you?"

  Gu Qingci glanced at Wang Yin, touched his cheek, feeling a little helpless, he wasn't that scary, was he?

   "Wang Catcher is in such a hurry, what happened?"

  Wang Yin replied: "Today I found that many people in the Jianghu have changed, and I am going to notify the prefect to see if I need to notify the six gates."

   "Oh, that's it." Gu Qingci touched his chin, put one hand on Wang Yin's shoulder, and said softly: "I ask you a question, you prefects, are you easy to talk on weekdays?"

   "This..." Wang Yin hesitated for a moment, and said, "Everything is okay!"

   "Really," Gu Qingci frowned, and said, "Let me ask you, when you told your prefects about me yesterday, what was your prefect's reaction?"

  Wang Yin was stunned for a moment, some changes appeared on his face, he quickly recovered, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw a white light, it was the long sword at Gu Qingci's waist that was unsheathed. Immediately afterwards, I heard Gu Qingci's cold voice: "Wang Butou, you have to think clearly, don't ignore anything!"

An invisible pressure, like frost, immediately made Wang Yin shudder, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Gu, I remember that after I told the prefect yesterday, he was very shocked. I vaguely heard He said that the county magistrate who resisted Beimo is already in the capital, and entered the Imperial Academy, his surname seems to be Ma, so he said he was the son of a minister..."

   "Master Gu, that's all I heard. I don't know anything else. Don't tell the prefect that I said it. He won't let me say it..."

  Wang Yin didn't say anything here, because he noticed that Gu Qingci's face had changed, turning livid, just as Gu Qingci's hand had let him go, he hurried into the government office.

  Gu Qingci didn't care about Wang Yin's departure, he was very angry now, everything was clear, no wonder the magistrate's attitude was so strange, this was a serious crime, and it involved Shang Shu.

  At that moment, Gu Qingci suddenly thought of Qianlizhai. When he revealed his identity, Hu Yue was also shocked, but he didn't pay attention at the time. Thinking about it now, it turns out...his credit has been taken away.

"Shangshu surnamed Ma... Ma Zhibai..." Gu Qingci gritted his teeth, with a strong murderous intent erupting in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Okay, okay, what a scholar with two sleeves, what a true gentleman Ma Zhibai, unexpected I was wrong too, good, good, very good!"

   Since everyone says I’m a sucker, I won’t let it go now and just push the plot forward!
