What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Gu Xi was still very touched by the love of her family, but she couldn't let these people take her family away.

Especially Qi, who was obviously a weak woman, but she dared to stand up and protect herself at this time.

In modern times, Gu Xi has hardly ever felt maternal love. Her biological mother is just a love-brained person.

Just because the man she remarried disliked Gu Xi as a burden and said he didn't want to see Gu Xi, she hasn't contacted Gu Xi for twenty years.

In Gu Xi's memory, mother is just a vague concept.

And now, her maternal love that had always been missing was filled in this place!

It's worth her lifelong protection.

Gu Xi walked to the front, protecting his family behind him, and said coldly:

"If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext. I'll just go with you guys. Why do you have to implicate the innocent?"

Qi hurriedly grabbed Gu Xi's hand.

Gu Xi patted her hands and winked at her.

"You guys go back first. I'll go explain everything to the county magistrate and I'll be back soon."

Then he said in a very low voice, "I have a way to escape, don't worry."

She is good at disguise, fighting and martial arts, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to escape from prison.

Gu Xi's confident look reassured Qi. She knew that if the whole family was arrested now, it would only make things more difficult.

The leading bailiff waved his hand, and the other bailiffs were about to step forward to arrest the man, when suddenly a stern shout came: "Stop!"

I saw a thin old man walking over.

The bailiff glanced at the old man and asked:

"Who are you? How dare you stop the police from handling the case?"

The old man stood with his hands behind his back and said:

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you are the police officers. You have to catch the stolen goods when catching a thief. How can you arrest people without evidence?"

"Oh, so you're a busybody. I hate busybodies the most in my life! Which eye of yours saw me arresting people indiscriminately? I arrested a thief. Now I think you're also an accomplice of the thief, so let's arrest you together!"

The leading yamen runner was used to running rampant in the county, and anyone who dared to provoke him would at least be beaten with a stick.

"In this bright and clear world, is there still any law?" Although the old man was dressed in ordinary clothes, his overall demeanor was incomparable to ordinary people.

Gu Xi was delighted. Could this be the governor the system was talking about? It was like searching for something without any effort.

As expected, those upright bigwigs all like to go on incognito visits. With such a strong supporter, she should not have to escape from prison.

However, the yamen runners felt that in Chengyang County, the most powerful person was their county magistrate, and they looked down upon others.

"Haha, Wang Fa, here, I am the Wang Fa! Take him away!"

Then, without further ado, the officers stepped forward, arrested Gu Xi and the old man, and escorted them to the county government office.

Although the people were very angry about the officials' actions, they were all ordinary people. Who would dare to stand up? The old man just now was a lesson for them.

But no one noticed that when Qi saw Zhou Qing, he was stunned at first, then he clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and the hatred in his eyes almost overflowed.

"Mother, the police have taken my elder sister away. What should I do?"

Gu Ping and Gu Yuan were extremely anxious.

Qi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and hid the hatred in her eyes. She held the two children in each hand and said as she walked:

"It's okay, Xi'er will be fine. Let's go back to the inn and wait for her."

-

The old man's follower Zhou An was angry, so he went to the toilet. How come his master disappeared? Where did this old man go?

After some inquiries, he learned that his father had been taken to the county government office. So he did not dare to delay and left the city immediately. He asked the governor's ceremonial guard waiting outside the city to enter the city as soon as possible and went straight to the county government office to demand the person.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi and Zhou Qing were taken to jail.

Gu Xi looked around curiously.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on a pile of straw, looked at Gu Xi and said, "What's the matter? Is this your first time in jail, little brother?"

Gu Xi chuckled: "It is indeed the first time. After all, the prison is a very important place, not just anyone can enter. Why? Does the old man come here often?"

Zhou Qing shook his beard and said, "That's nonsense. I'm a good man."

"Yes, yes, I can see that you are definitely a good person, otherwise you wouldn't have sacrificed yourself just to help a passerby like me." Gu Xi said.

Zhou Qing pointed his index finger at him and said with a smile: "You are already in jail, but you are not afraid at all."

Gu Xi said, "I haven't done anything bad, so what am I afraid of? Old man, thank you for speaking up for me, but I'm sorry that I got you into trouble. Why don't you ask the police for mercy? I have some money here. If you use your connections, they should let you go. After all, their main target is me."

After saying that, he took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Zhou Qing. This was a high-ranking official who could kill Zhen Wude, so she had to have a good relationship with him.

Zhou Qing snorted coldly: "They dare not do anything to me!"

But he still reached out to take the silver ingot and put it in his arms.

Gu Xi was stunned, suspecting that he had recognized the wrong person.

Isn't it said that the governor is honest and upright? Just like that, he took the money?

I didn't expect you to be such a governor!

How could she know that Zhou Qing never accepted gifts before, and he returned all the gifts given to him under various pretexts.

Today was the first time I received a gift in prison. It was a very novel feeling.

The most important thing is that when he went out this time, the old woman did not give him a penny, but asked Zhou An to keep it for safekeeping and asked Zhou An to keep a close eye on him and not let him drink a drop of alcohol.

Alas, life is so boring, fortunately I met an interesting little brother.

"Thank you, little brother, for your generosity. This trip to jail is worth it. I'll treat you to a drink when you get out." Zhou Qing said.

Gu Xi’s novelty about the ancient prison wore off, so he also sat down cross-legged, and the two began to chat.

"Little brother, that move you made just now at the door of the grain store was brilliant."

"It's just a trifle, thank you for your praise. My last name is Xi, you can just call me Xiaoxi. Old man, what's your last name, and where are you from?"

Zhou Qing said, "My last name is Zhou, and I'm from the capital. From your accent, I think you're from the capital, too."

He was from the capital, his surname was Zhou. Gu Xi was now 100% sure that the old man in front of him was Governor Zhou Qing.

Hurry up and flatter and hug the thigh.

"That's right. I made a little money from my business, so I took my family out for a walk and looked for any business opportunities. I saw the old man's face and his demeanor, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"Haha, what's the matter? Can you tell faces?" Zhou Qing laughed.

"I know a little bit, a little bit. Actually, I am best at palm reading. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll take a look for you?"

The old man immediately extended his hand.

Gu Dahuyou used the dim light in the cell to check Zhou Qing's palm lines, then muttered:

"This line is the life line. The old man's life line is really long and the lines are clear. It is a sign of longevity. He will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
