Chapter 680 Are you really afraid that he will fail?
Chapter 680: Are you really afraid of him as an official?
There is a city gate in the southeast of Ganquan City called "Jinquan Gate".
The nature of Jinquan Gate is quite special. It is a dedicated passage connecting Ganquan County to the Youlong Dazhai people. Generally speaking, non-Youlong people will not enter or exit the city from here on weekdays.
When you leave the city from Jinquan Gate, you can see the gate of Youlong Clan's Dazhai. The city gate and the village gate are only more than a hundred feet apart. They can be said to stand shoulder to shoulder.
At this time, a Youlong clan member ran out of the Jinquan Gate with an anxious expression and headed straight for the Youlong clan's stronghold.
As soon as this man approached the village gate, the tribesmen on duty showed surprise and asked curiously: "Guard Duomu, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
The person who came was none other than Duomu. At this time, he was covered in sweat and looked embarrassed. The scars on his cheeks and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth were still clearly visible.
Duomu didn't have time to answer the guard's question, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Is the patriarch in the village?"
The clan members on duty immediately nodded: "Yes, yes."
After hearing this, Duomu hurried into Dazhai and rushed towards the clan leader's residence.
The most luxurious residence in Dazhai is the residence of the patriarch Su Jushiyong.
At this time, Su Jushiyong was talking to several clan members in charge in the hall, assigning and discussing some clan affairs.
Suddenly, someone came from outside the hall to report that Guard Duomu had something urgent to report.
Su Jushiyong was a little unhappy at being interrupted. He frowned slightly and asked, "What can happen to him?"
The visitor hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Guard Duomu said that the young master was captured by Situ Zhou and taken back to the Yamen!"
"What?" Su Jushiyong's color suddenly changed, and he stood up as soon as he patted the armrest of the chair.
The incident happened so suddenly that several other people in the hall were stunned.
Su Jushiyong immediately shouted: "Where's Duomu, tell him to come in!"
The person who made the report ran out immediately, and after a while, Duomu came to the front of the hall and knelt on one knee in front of Su Jushiyong.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Su Jushi asked angrily.
Duomu said: "Clan leader, the young master was injured and was captured by Situ Zhou and taken back to the county government office. Please save the young master, patriarch..."
Su Jushiyong heard this and asked, "Well, Duan Duan, why did Situ Zhou arrest him, and who was he injured by?"
"Uh...this..." Duomu said embarrassedly, and raised his head slightly to look at the stewards in the hall.
Su Jushiyong immediately understood and said loudly: "You all can go down!"
"Yes, patriarch." Several stewards agreed in unison and exited the hall.
After the stewards had gone away, Su Jushiyong immediately asked: "Get up and speak more carefully!"
Duomu stood up in a hurry, walked to Su Jushiyong's side, and spoke in detail about what happened in Hengli's pawnshop in a suppressed voice.
"How dare you, Situ Zhou, take away my son! Good, good..."
After listening to Duomu's words, Su Jushiyong's face became extremely gloomy, and he even gritted his teeth when he said the last few words!
Duomu didn't dare to say anything, but stood quietly next to Su Jushiyong with his waist bent, waiting for his decision.
Su Jushiyong was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the county government office!"
--------------------------
Ganquan County Government Office, in the second hall.
Situ Zhou, Chai Yan and Wang Wangzhou were sitting in the hall.
Standing in the hall was Xiao Huan, who was describing in detail the whole process of Suricongpa being rude to the young lady.
After hearing about Surui Congpa's evil deeds, Situ Zhou was so angry that he repeatedly accused Surui Congpa and cursed Surui Congpa as "shameless and obscene"!
Wang Wangzhou also cursed a few words from time to time, scolding the Youlong clan for being so lawless that even the family members of the imperial officials dared to intrude.
After Xiao Huan finished telling the whole story, Situ Zhou dismissed her and told her to rest and take good care of Jing'er.
After Xiaohuan left, Wang Wangzhou said: "Secretary Chai, Master Situ, we have arrested Su Ruicongpa and his two guards. I think Su Jushiyong will come to our door soon..."
.”
Situ Zhou blushed and slapped the table angrily: "Come as soon as you come, are you really afraid of him?"
From the day he met Situ Zhou, Chai Yan always thought that his character was cowardly. But since his daughter was offended by Su Ruicongpa, Situ Zhou seemed to be a different person, and his temper became ten times hotter.
Wang Wangzhou thought to himself that there were so many people from the Youlong clan, and you, a small county magistrate, couldn't fight head-on with them.
Seeing that Chai Yan lowered his head slightly and said nothing, Wang Wangzhou asked, "Sir Chai, what do you think?"
Chai Yan raised his eyes to look at the two of them and said slowly: "Suri Congpa is guilty of this matter. Even if they go to the emperor, we are not afraid..."
"That's right! Director Chai is right!" Situ Zhou agreed very much and felt more confident.
Chai Yan added: "It's just that Su Ruicongpa is so injured now, I'm afraid Su Jushiyong won't let it go..."
"He deserves it!" Situ Zhou said immediately.
Wang Wangzhou said: "Sir Chai, do you mean that Su Jushiyong will settle the score with Cheng Jiu who injured his son?"
"Yes!" Chai Yan nodded, and then asked Situ Zhou: "Master Situ, if Su Jushiyong wants you to hand over Cheng Jiu to him, what will you do?"
Situ Zhou slapped the case again and said, "Don't even think about it! If Cheng Jiu hadn't been here, my daughter would have been killed by that beast..."
At this point, Situ Zhou couldn't talk any more. He took a breath and then continued: "I will never hand anyone over to him!"
Chai Yan asked again: "Then how does Master Situ plan to arrange Cheng Jiu?"
Situ Zhou blurted out: "It's easy to handle, let him stay at the county government office as Jing'er's bodyguard. I don't believe it. Su Jushiyong still dares to blatantly attack the county government office and rob people? This is Ganquan County, not his."
Youlong Dazhai!"
Chai Yan nodded in agreement and said to the yamen servant outside the hall: "Go and call Cheng Jiu in!"
"Yes." The officer outside immediately responded.
Soon, Cheng Jiu appeared outside the second hall...
--------------------------
In the inner courtyard of the county government office, Yuan Yuan was chatting with Situ Jing.
After returning to the county government office, Situ Jing's emotional state was much better, but after all, she was frightened and her face was still a little bad.
At this time, footsteps appeared on the corridor outside. The two turned their heads and saw that it was Xiao Huan who had returned.
Situ Jing didn't wait for Xiaohuan to approach and asked, "Xiaohuan, where is he now?"
Situ Jing was asking about Cheng Jiu. Situ Jing had not left the inner courtyard since returning to the county office, and she couldn't help but miss him a little.
Xiaohuan said: "Miss, Brother Cheng is waiting outside the second hall. The master and the two adults will definitely ask him to go in for questioning..."
After Xiaohuan returned to Situ Jing, he quickly bowed to Yuanyuan: "I have seen Mrs. Chai..."
Yuan Yuan nodded slightly.
After Situ Jing learned about Cheng Jiu's news, she nodded secretly, and then asked: "By the way, Xiaohuan, what did father and the two adults ask you? Can you tell us again?"
