Chapter 108 Gu Shangshu's Nephew Was Arrested
The next morning, when Jiang Zhao and the others at the Hanlin Academy ordered dinner, they specifically told Madam Ding that Huaxiu's meal size would be halved in the future, so she couldn't eat so much.

Nanny Ding nodded to show that she understood, and then Jiang Zhao went to the Imperial Academy to catch up on sleep with peace of mind.

When Jiang Zhao and Simubai went out, Zhuque Street was still as lively as ever. Everyone gathered in twos and threes to do business, or have breakfast at a small stall and discuss gossip.

What everyone discussed was nothing more than the family's shortcomings, and the most discussed was the news of the fraudulent marriage at the Household Minister's House.

Jiang Zhao and Simu Bai were walking on the road, listening to their discussion.

"I heard that Mr. Qi, when he saw the bride, he was scared to pee."

"That's right. On that day, Mr. Qi lifted the bride's fan, but he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. He just ran out, ignoring the wedding procession. He rode on his horse and galloped away. Huiqi Mansion, seeing my father, I hurriedly hid in his arms and dared not come out."

"Hahahahaha, Mr. Qi is too courageous."

"Hey, it's not because Mr. Qi is timid. It's because the ugly girl is so ugly. To say that she looks like nothing is to praise her. Yasha will take a detour when he sees her."

"Is there really such an ugly woman in this world?"

"If you want to know, go to the Jiang Mansion and see."

……

Everyone's rumors are really spreading more and more outrageous.

Jiang Zhao and Simubai looked at each other, they both shook their heads and smiled, they didn't intend to continue listening to the gossip, the time for the appointment was approaching, and they had to go to the Imperial Academy as soon as possible.

But they hadn't taken two steps before they saw a group of servants from Kyoto Prefecture approaching aggressively.

The eyes of the two followed the guards, and they saw that the guards had taken away all the people who had spoken rumors about the Qi Mansion just now.

Several people still want to resist.

"What are you going to do?"

"We are good citizens, why do you arrest us?"

"We didn't do anything wrong, why did you arrest us?"

But the guards didn't listen to what they said at all. As long as they resisted, they would be knocked unconscious with a stick, and then dragged back.

Jiang Zhao sneered, it seems that the servant of the household department is also stupid, thinking of using force to suppress rumors.

Then the two didn't read any more, and came to the Hanlin Academy.

During lunch, everyone was indeed discussing this matter.

"Today, I see that the common people seldom discuss the matter of the Household Minister's Mansion."

"How dare you discuss it? Everyone who discussed it on the street was arrested by the guards of the Kyoto Prefecture."

"I heard that I accidentally arrested the nephew of Lord Gu, Minister of the Household Department."

"Then this is going to be a big mess. It's really ridiculous that the Minister of the Household Department let the Kyoto government arrest the nephew of the Minister of the Household Department."

"Look, there will be trouble at the court meeting tomorrow."

……

Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai, who were eavesdropping in the corner, did not expect to hear such news.

But it was, as they say, ridiculous enough.

Then Chen Lianghan and Qi Bu are really stupid enough, they dare to catch anyone.

Gu Hongyuan is bound to bring this matter to court tomorrow, and it is estimated that Chen Lianghan and Qi Bu are jumping in a hurry.

as predicted.

After Qi Bu heard that Chen Lianghan had arrested Gu Hongyuan's nephew, he immediately rushed to the capital.

I saw Chen Lianghan, the Governor of Kyoto, pacing in the main hall.

Qi Bu stepped forward, and the first thing he said was to ask: "Can you release Mr. Gu's nephew?"

Chen Lianghan frowned and sighed, with a sad face on his face: "I went to the prison to ask him to come out the first time I found out that he was Mr. Gu's nephew, but he was only willing to come out after I gave him an explanation from the capital."

"What should we do? If Mr. Gu blames him, we can't afford to offend him."

"How did you arrest him properly? What do your servants in Kyoto Prefecture do for food?"

Gu Hongyuan was his immediate superior, and when Gu Hongyuan blamed him, he couldn't bear to walk around.

Now all the fire is on Chen Lianghan's head.

This is indeed something that my subordinates did not do well: "At that time, my servants saw a few people in the restaurant discussing your family's affairs, so they ordered them to be arrested. Master Gu's nephew."

"What should we do now? It's impossible for that kid to come out, and Mr. Gu hasn't come out yet."

If Gu Hongyuan came forward to take his nephew back, they might feel more at ease.

But now that his nephew has been arrested for so long, Gu Hongyuan has not shown up until now, and he has no intention of sending someone to take the kid back, and the kid will not come out of the prison no matter what he says.

This made Chen Lianghan's heart even more uneasy, and his frown became more and more tight.

Qi Bu also frowned, what should I do.

Jing Huarong didn't handle the matter well, and offended Gu Hongyuan, Qi Bu is now like an ant on a hot pot.

"Take me to the prison, I'm going to meet Master Gu's nephew."

Finally, Qi Bu decided to persuade Gu Hongyuan's nephew in person.

As long as he is willing to leave the prison, at least half of Gu Hongyuan's anger can be eliminated.

The two came to the prison, which was already overcrowded due to the arrests in the past few days, and every cell was full of people.

Under the leadership of Chen Lianghan, the two came to the gate of a cell.

Master Gu's nephew was sitting in the depths of the cell with his eyes closed.

Chen Lianghan signaled his subordinates to open the door of the cell, and the two walked in, squatting down in front of Mr. Gu's nephew.

Qi Bu squatted down, only looking at the young man in front of him, with fair skin and three-dimensional facial features, he seemed to be very upright. Although his eyes were closed, he could still see that he was a handsome young man.

However, the most noticeable thing is the tear mole in the corner of his eye, which adds a touch of evil charm to his upright facial features.

"You are Master Gu's nephew, Gu Jiu?"

Zibo asked.

Gu Jiu heard the voice and slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes were calm, making it hard to see what he was thinking.

"I'm."

Gu Jiu spoke slowly, her voice was cold.

Qi Bu hurriedly said: "I am Qi Bu, the servant of the household department, and I was sent by your uncle to pick you up."

Now Qi Bu doesn't care about telling any lies, as long as he can get Gu Jiu out of this cell.

But Gu Jiu just said indifferently: "Uncle won't send you here."

Although he has not been an official in the court, he also knows that the servant of the household department, flatters superiors and bullies inferiors, accepts bribes, and oppresses the people.

His uncle never liked the man.
