At that time, Cheng Jiu had the urge to rush forward to save people, but the moment he took a step forward, Ge Hong among the government officials suddenly turned around and looked over.
The two people's eyes quickly collided. At that moment, Ge Hong frowned and shook his head. His movement was so subtle that the government officials did not notice it.
Cheng Jiudeng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but stop in his steps.
Cheng Jiu understood what Ge Hong meant. He was telling himself not to be impulsive, so as not to harm other people.
After standing in front of the Yurongzhai gate and thinking for a while, Cheng Jiu quickly made up his mind and turned around and quickly returned to the inn.
Back at the inn, Cheng Jiu called Guan Maochun, Yu Tie and Fatty Lai to his room, and very seriously told the news that his eldest brother had been taken away by the government officials.
The three of them were suddenly shocked. Guan Maochun immediately couldn't sit still. He jumped up and said that he was going to save people. Yu Tie and Fatty Lai also moved in response.
"Everyone, stop, don't go!" Cheng Jiu immediately stopped the three of them.
Cheng Jiu said with a stern face: "Have you forgotten what eldest brother said? When he is away, all of you have to listen to my arrangements. If I say you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go, especially you, Lao Wu!"
Cheng Jiu believes that if Ge Hong can be recognized by the government officials on the street, it must mean that the wanted portrait has arrived in Yaozhou. If Guan Maochun runs out impulsively at this time, he might also be recognized by the officials. The eldest brother has already been caught.
Nothing can happen to Guan Maochun again.
After listening to Cheng Jiu's analysis, Guan Maochun calmed down a little, but he was still anxious and angry, so he asked: "We can't just watch our eldest brother being arrested, right?"
Yu Tie also nodded vigorously with a "hmm" sound. It was obvious that he also hoped to rescue his elder brother and come back as soon as possible.
Fatty Lai complained a little that Cheng Jiu came back like this, and said: "There are only a few of them, and it's not like you can't defeat them. At that time, you should immediately take action to save my eldest brother!"
"What do you know!" Cheng Jiu became unhappy instantly and stared at Fatty Lai and said, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? I was just about to save my eldest brother when he shook his head at me..."
After a pause, Cheng Jiucai continued: "You have to understand that this is Yaozhou City, not a wilderness. If I beat the officials to rescue my eldest brother, wouldn't it cause a big commotion? No one can leave by then!"
"Then...then what do you think we should do?" Guan Maochun asked hurriedly.
Cheng Jiu's expression was extremely serious, and he lowered his voice and said: "Listen to me, leave the city and rush back to Ganquan County immediately, and tell Mr. Chai the situation. He is the only one who can save my brother now!"
Guan Maochun was stunned for a moment and asked: "Then we have all gone back, what about you, Fourth Brother?"
Cheng Jiudao: "I can't leave, I have to keep an eye on my brother to prevent accidents!"
At this time, Fatty Lai said: "But those few people went to bed after eating, and now I suddenly ask them to get up and go, will they be happy?"
Cheng Jiudao: "You have to be willing even if you don't like it. You don't have to worry about this. I'll go to them and tell them. You should quickly pack your things and get ready to go!"
After agreeing on everything, Cheng Jiu and the others left the room. Except for Cheng Jiu, the other three people made preparations for departure.
Next, Cheng Jiu woke up and summoned five government officials, and told them his decision to return to Ganquan County immediately. Three of them complained as soon as they heard it, saying that they had to rush on the road without getting enough rest, and their bodies would be exhausted if they couldn't bear it.
of.
Cheng Jiuyi saw that the three people who said this were the ones who were frightened that night, and immediately he lost his face to them.
Cheng Jiu's tough attitude finally made the three of them not dare to complain, so they packed up their things obediently and set off on their way back to Ganquan County.
Before leaving the city, Guan Maochun solemnly promised Cheng Jiu that he would rush back to Ganquan County as quickly as possible and asked Mr. Chai to find a way to save people. He also told Cheng Jiu to be careful in everything!
It wasn't until the two carriages disappeared from sight that Cheng Jiu turned around and walked quickly towards the city.
----------------------------------
In the evening, Qujia Restaurant.
It was dinner time at this time, and logically Qujia Restaurant should be full of guests. However, since Bai Yucheng was dismissed by Mr. An Huai, the business of Qujia Restaurant has undergone obvious changes.
In the past, there were always a large number of customers at noon and evening, and the business was booming, mainly because Bai Yucheng helped An Huai take care of things, and many people wanted to get close to him, so they came to Qujia Restaurant to support him.
Now that Mr. An Huai no longer needs Bai Yucheng as director, how can those who want to gain connections still come to support him?
Just when Qu Ran'er was keeping accounts at the counter and worrying in her heart, Bai Yucheng walked in with a decadent look and a beard on his face.
When the clerks in the store saw Bai Yucheng, they either didn't dare to say anything or pretended not to see him. They didn't want to get into trouble with him.
During this period of time, Bai Yucheng was completely different from when he was high-spirited in the past. When the guys talked to him, he would get angry and scold each other. It was fine when there were no guests, but Qu Ran'er would immediately come to stop him, and finally
What I was afraid of was that he would get angry and curse in front of the guests regardless of the occasion or place, so he even scared away some guests, which made Qu Raner very upset.
Bai Yucheng drooped his head and walked to the counter listlessly. He raised his hand and slapped it on the counter, startling Qu Ran'er who was concentrating on calculating the accounts.
"Wine, bring the wine!" Bai Yucheng spread his arms on the counter and waved his palms towards Qu Ran'er unceremoniously.
The fire in Qu Ran'er's heart suddenly surged. She thought that these days, if you are not like this, you will drink whenever you come, you will get drunk when you drink, and you will curse people and make trouble when you are drunk. I can't do this business.
Are you done?
"No!" Qu Ran'er said angrily.
Bai Yucheng immediately frowned and said, "How could there be no wine? Are you still doing business?"
Qu Ran'er glared angrily and said, "For customers who spend money, there is one! For you, there is no one!"
Bai Yucheng was stunned, and his face changed as he retracted his hand: "What do you mean?"
Qu Ran'er didn't want to argue with Bai Yucheng here, so he lowered his head and pretended to continue settling accounts, and said angrily: "Let's talk about it when we get back, don't embarrass yourself here!"
"Bang!" Bai Yucheng suddenly became furious and slapped his palm on the counter: "What did you say?"
This movement was very loud and immediately attracted the attention of the staff and guests on the first floor.
The guys all understood what was going on, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if nothing happened.
But the customers in the store didn't know what was going on. One of the customers at a table not far from the counter asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"It's none of your business!" Bai Yucheng turned around and retorted.
There was a tall and strong man at the table. Hearing these words, he suddenly stood up. Then he walked over to Bai Yucheng in two steps. He grabbed the clothes on his chest and said with wide eyes: "What do you mean?
What? Say it again!"
"You, you, you... what do you want to do? You, you, you... don't mess around, I, I, I... I will report it to the official...
