Guo Zhao's expression froze for a moment. Several of the officials were his brothers, so naturally they were unwilling to arrest him. However, they did not dare to disobey Mr. Lin's orders. Among them, Xu Laoer, who had the best relationship with Guo Zhao,
He spit hard on the ground.
"Damn it, I don't know which grandson falsely accused Brother Zhao of hurting someone and forced me to put you in jail. If I, Xu Laoer, find out, I will come to him and beat him half to death!"
None of them believed that Guo Zhao was the one who hit people randomly. It must have been the turtle grandson who provoked him.
Several brothers fought for him, and Guo Zhao finally understood that it was Song Lian who reported him to the official. However, although he hit someone, it was only a superficial injury. Even if he reported to the official, Guo Zhao would only pay for his medical expenses, and would never
Being imprisoned, there must be something hidden behind it.
"Brother Zhao, you should go with your brothers first. You are my lord's capable subordinate. He will definitely handle the matter impartially."
"Let's go."
Guo Zhao didn't want to embarrass his brothers. If Song Lian could find out who came to Furong Town, there must be some power behind him. He wouldn't let him go easily. After Guo Zhao figured it out, his heart sank and his face became more solemn.
Sure enough, when I entered the county government office and met Lin Yusheng, he looked like he hated iron.
"How could you injure Song Lian for no reason? His uncle is a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue and a popular figure in Prime Minister Liu's eyes. You hurt him. Doctor Song sent his cronies overnight to urge me to arrest him. What do you think I can do?"
Although he is the county magistrate of Furong Town, Song Cang is a higher-ranking official and is just above him. Lin Yusheng has no choice but to seek favoritism, but Guo Zhao is his confidant and has been working under him since he took office in Furong Town. Losing such
Lin Yusheng, his right-hand man, felt sorry for himself and wandered around the yard worriedly early in the morning.
"Why don't you and I go to Beijing to apologize to Mr. Song?"
Lin Yusheng's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of him. He didn't know if this method would work, but he had to try it for the sake of his subordinates.
Guo Zhao didn't expect Song Lian to have such an identity, but at that time he kept slandering Shen Yingxue. He couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it. Even if he had to do it over again, he would still beat him. He couldn't even protect his own woman. What kind of man is he?
.
"Sir, please arrest your subordinates."
"you!"
Seeing his indifferent expression, Lin Yu was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves.
"Do you think he just wants to catch you? He wants your life!"
"Since he wants his subordinate's life, it is useless even if he begs him. It will just be humiliated again."
Although Guo Zhao only dealt with Song Lian once, he could tell that he was a despicable and shameless person, and the cruel words he said in Zhenjiang Mansion were definitely not false, so Song Lian did not want to let him go.
"Hey, that's all. I'll take you into custody first. I'll find someone to intercede with Mr. Song. I hope he can show me some kindness and spare you this time."
Lin Yusheng didn't know what Guo Zhao could understand, but he couldn't just watch his subordinates die, so he could only find a way to infiltrate the camp.
"My lord's kindness and kindness will be unforgettable to Guo Zhao!"
Lin Yusheng was not only kind to him, but also sincerely considerate of his subordinates. Guo Zhao felt warm and knelt down and kowtowed to him several times.
"Hey, you get up first. I don't know if this can happen. Why did you beat him in the first place? If you can find the crux and ask for his forgiveness, maybe there will be a turn for the better..."
Guo Zhao's body stiffened slightly. He knew what Song Lian wanted. If the price of his survival was that Shen Yingxue would commit herself to him, then Guo Zhao would rather die.
Seeing that he was silent, Lin Yusheng felt a little helpless. He didn't know how this subordinate could be so stubborn. He would rather die than tell the reason. He waved his hand and asked the officer to push him down. Out of sight, out of mind, since he If he doesn't care about himself, why should he bother with it?
But Qi returned to Qi, and Lin Yusheng couldn't really give up on him. After the others left, he entered the study.
Lin Yusheng was a royalist, and he was a local official. He did not have many connections in the capital. The only person who could talk to Song Cang was Wang Caiying, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites at the same level. This was his classmate and friend. The two had been friends for more than 20 years. He thought that he was the only one who could help, but after all, Wang Caiying belonged to the Ministry of Rites, so it was not certain whether he could ask for a favor.
Lin Yusheng sighed and took out another piece of paper to write to Shen Yanqing. Guo Zhao was the person injured in Zhenjiang Prefecture. He wrote to ask Shen Yanqing to help find out the truth and see if there was any possibility of recovery.
Both letters were handed out at the same time.
Guo family, Guo's mother woke up in the morning and heard that her son was imprisoned. Her eyesight went dark and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Xiaocui's quick eyes and hands quickly helped her.
"Old lady!"
"You said Guo Zhao was captured by officials? What crime did he commit?"
Mother Guo held Xiaocui's hand tightly with a shocked expression on her face.
She understood the son she gave birth to. Although he had a cold temper, he was an upright man and would never commit any crime. Guo's mother never wanted him to be imprisoned one day.
"I heard that I was imprisoned for beating someone. As for who I beat, I don't know..."
"Let's go to the county government office. The old lady is going to ask for details!"
The guards in the prison were all Guo Zhao's brothers. When they saw Guo's mother, they naturally did not dare to stop her and led the people in personally.
In the cell, Guo Zhao was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, and he had changed into prison uniform. Guo's mother couldn't help crying when she saw it.
"What crime did you commit that put you in a cell?"
"mother."
Hearing Guo's mother's cry, Guo Zhao opened his eyes. His mother had a strong personality and had never cried since his father passed away. Guo Zhao felt guilty.
"Mom, it's Guo Zhao who is unfilial and makes you worry."
"You also know that my mother will be worried. You are a heartless person. If you make any mistakes, just tell them honestly. Mr. Lin is a strict and good official, and he will definitely not wrongly accuse you..."
"Auntie, Brother Zhao was harmed by someone. That person relied on his power to take Brother Zhao's life!"
"Six sons!"
The officer guarding the cell couldn't help but cursed. Guo Zhao had no time to stop him, but Guo's mother heard him.
"What, want your life?"
Her legs weakened and she collapsed. Xiao Cui hugged her and leaned on her. When Xiao Cui heard that her father's life was in danger, she was equally shocked and her hands were shaking.
"Guo Zi, who have you offended? Go and beg him, doesn't he want someone's life? Mom, give him this old life, as long as you can let my son go..."
Guo's mother burst into tears, and Guo Zhao felt more and more guilty. He was now in a dilemma, but for Shen Yingxue, Guo Zhao still chose to keep silent.
"Mom, my son is unfilial!"
"you……"
Guo's mother was so exhausted that she could no longer hold on and fainted.
In Zhenjiang Prefecture, Shen Yingxue's eyelids kept twitching today and she was so panicked that she almost put her hand in while baking snacks. Fortunately, Mrs. Su held her back, otherwise she would have had to burn off a layer of skin.
"Ms. Shen, what's wrong with you today? Why don't you go home and rest for a day? I'll be watching you in the shop."
Mrs. Su felt that she couldn't see the store in this state, so she might as well go back.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you in the shop."
Shen Yingxue became more and more uneasy. She left the shop and returned to the county government office. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Li Biao entering Shen Yanqing's study.
