If it was just Gu Lingze's own business today, he would definitely not handle it so lightly, but it's different now, if there is a big trouble, someone will definitely report it to the authorities.

If he went to the government office because of this incident, it would affect Xu Mingyan's rural examination. I believe Zhao Chengmo also understood this truth, so he didn't continue to make a move.

But there is another reason...

Gu Lingze knew it in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.

Walking to the front of the cabinet, he raised his hand and tapped the cabinet, and said to the shopkeeper who was still in a daze, "Can you arrange a guest room for us now?"

After arranging the accommodation, I asked for hot water to take a shower. I was a little tired after driving all day, so I went to bed early after dinner.

The next few days were peaceful, Xu Mingyan was studying in the room, Gu Lingze had eaten the No. [-] crispy chicken at Sanyuanlou, and walked around Fucheng with Zhao Chengmo a few times.

This day when the two of them came back from outside, they passed by a door, but Gu Lingze stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chengmo asked.

Gu Lingze took another look, said 'nothing', and went back to his room with a normal expression.

After everyone rested at night, Gu Lingze blew out the candles in his room.Opening the window in the darkness, he quickly went up to the roof.

There was another person on the roof.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Lingze asked.

"Wait for you."

Gu Lingze looked at Zhao Chengmo speechless for a while, but the corner of his mouth curled up.

The two estimated the location, walked to the top of the guest room during the day, lifted the roof tiles and looked inside for a while, then quietly put the tiles back to their original positions and went back to the room together.

"Tsk, so it's him, so don't worry about it." Gu Lingze lit the candle, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.

Zhao Chengmo picked up the teacup and took a sip, without questioning, he went back to his room after drinking.

A scream broke the silence in the early morning, but after a while, there were knocks on Gu Lingze's door.

"What's the matter?" Gu Lingze opened the door and found many policemen with knives standing at the door, Zhao Chengmo and Xu Mingyan were also standing at the door of his room.

There was a man kneeling on the ground, and when he saw him, he shouted, "My lord, it's him!"

Ge Butou frowned, looked at them and asked, "Do you know Zou Yingguang?"

"Yes, he and I studied under a gentleman." Xu Mingyan replied.

"I heard from the people around him that you had a dispute before and even used force to injure someone?"

Gu Lingze said at this moment: "It's me who did it, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"And me." Ignoring his gaze, Zhao Chengmo also stood up.

"My lord, they have nothing to do with my young master's affairs, so hurry up and arrest them all."

Butou Ge ignored him, looked at Gu Lingze a few times, and said in a deep voice, "Zou Yingguang died this morning."

"He died in his own room. You live on the first floor, didn't you notice any movement?"

"I went to bed early last night, and I heard a few yells this morning, but there was no other sound." Gu Lingze replied calmly.

Others have answered in much the same way as him.

"The two of you will go to the government office with me. The others will stay here temporarily, but you are not allowed to leave your room."

"My lord..." Xu Mingyan was about to speak, but Gu Lingze looked at him and shook his head slightly, so he had no choice but to give up.

After Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo left with the group of people, Aunt Tao and the others returned to their room.

"What can we do?" Aunt Tao said anxiously, and Uncle Xu also sat aside and sighed.

Now that the two of them were taken to the government office, they both felt that they had caused trouble for Gu Lingze and the others, and they became worried.

Xu Mingyan said comfortingly: "We didn't harm anyone. The government probably took them away for questioning. They should be fine."

Xu Mingyan asked his parents to relax and wait for the news before going back to the room by himself.

After returning to the room, Xu Mingyan's face became serious, and he was not as relaxed as he said.

Because he knew that Zou Yingguang's identity was not simple. His uncle was Zou Guanghong, the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his father, Zou Guangmao, was also the head of the Cleaning Department of Beiyongfu.

That's why Zou Yingguang was so arrogant and domineering, and he was so arrogant. When he was in the academy, the other party always made troubles. Later, the two even worshiped the same gentleman, and the conflict deepened.

Later, after Xu Mingyan fell ill, the other party often ridiculed him in the academy, but was reprimanded by his master.

So even though we haven't seen each other for three years, Zou Yingguang still harbors malice towards him, and he will find fault with him that day.

Thinking of this, Xu Mingyan gritted his teeth, turned around and took out a box from the package. As soon as he opened it, looking at the contents inside made his nose sour and his eyes hot.

Taking a deep breath, he put other things aside first, took out the pen and inkstone inside, and wrote a letter in one go.

He handed over the ten taels of silver and the letter to Xiao Er who delivered the food, and told him an address, so that he must deliver it.

Besides, on Gu Lingze's side, after the arresting head brought them to the government office, they were put in prison first.

Gu Lingze now finally understands why the word 'airtight' comes from 'prison's airtight'. There is not even a window in the cell, and it is only illuminated by the torches on the wall in broad daylight.

The cells are small and crowded. Even though it is still early spring, there is only one straw mat in the cells. No wonder ancient books say that people who go to prison are often "preserved for pain, and will never live their lives." '

Zhao Chengmo folded the straw mat, let him sit on it, and sat on the ground himself.

However, Gu Lingze pulled him to sit together, and the two of them waited side by side. For some reason, Gu Lingze suddenly laughed softly.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chengmo looked at him and asked.

"I was wondering what Master would look like if he saw that I was in prison."

After hearing this, Zhao Chengmo laughed lowly for some reason.

A deep laughter came from his ears, and Gu Lingze's ears couldn't help but turn red.

"You two little lovers can still smile when you get here, but I'm afraid you'll be bitter mandarin ducks when you get to the court." The jailer at the side said sarcastically.

"Don't worry, when you die in this prison, I will push the two of you out of that hole together, and it will be considered fulfilling for you."

There is a small hole at the base of the wall at the entrance of the prison, which is dedicated to transporting corpses.

If a prisoner died of illness or was beaten to death in prison, he could not be carried out through the gate, but could only be pulled out through this small hole.

Gu Lingze looked up at him, and said, "We won't die, so don't bother you, but your daughter-in-law has been running away for so long, have you found her now?"

"You!" The jailer quickly looked around and asked in a low voice, "How did you know this!"

Gu Lingze only put on an inscrutable expression, no matter what he said, but he just didn't open his mouth.

The jailer was about to explode, but footsteps came from the door.

"Captain Ge."
