Some people came in one after another, and by midnight, it was almost full. Then some people were taken to the inner courtyard for questioning. Master Gu and his disciples had been waiting for the opportunity to escape, but the strong aura of mana on the other side of the wall never left, so they did not choose to act rashly.
After practicing to the golden elixir, the breath can be adjusted. Although it is impossible to completely conceal it, it will not be shown so openly, just like a few bright lights, showing one's existence unabashedly. The aura on the other side of the wall was so strong, indicating that they were demonstrating deliberately. This made Old Man Gu secretly feel lucky that he didn't break into the Xuantan Palace without permission. The ten-square jungle in this capital city was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
While listening carefully, I suddenly heard a sentence: "Yuyang, you are a bastard um"
Old man Gu thought carefully and found out that the Zhengyi cultivator of the Yu generation, from who knows which sect, actually has a cultivation level of Jindan or above? It is really amazing!
Just as they were thinking about it, their master and apprentice were about to be summoned. Old Man Gu asked everyone to calm down. He had already figured it out. The government had arrested so many people here just to extort some money. If they go in and pay them honestly, there would be nothing wrong with them. .
The master and apprentice hurriedly checked their confessions and came up with an excuse. Old Man Gu still told him that he was a merchant from Zhejiang, and that the eldest and third son were domestic servants; the second son said that he was a stall owner and had just moved here from Zhejiang. Now, They live in a rented house in Beipingmen, southwest of Zijin Mountain; the fourth child insists on begging to make ends meet.
There was no time for further discussion. The Yamen servant had already arrived and waved his whistle stick to signal them to enter, so the old man was the first to enter the inner courtyard.
After entering, he was even more relieved. Those monks with powerful magic powers were not here. The person presiding over the interrogation in the room was the secretary of the Shangyuan County torture room.
Before entering the house, Old Man Gu stuffed two taels of silver into the yamen servant. The yamen servant was startled, put the money into his sleeve, and said to him with a pleasant expression: "Wait at the door."
After the yamen servant entered the door, he turned his back to Old Man Gu and stretched out two fingers to the clerk. The clerk was surprised. He only had two taels of silver when he walked in. How rich is this? He had just briefly heard the report from the government officials, saying that the old man was plotting against moral standards in an area not designated by the Qinhuai River, so he thought to himself - this wealthy family must be afraid that being exposed would damage their reputation, so they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to deal with it.
Since that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s easy to handle. He nodded immediately and shouted: ¡°Bring someone to commit the crime!¡±
After Old Man Gu entered, the clerk smiled at him and said, "Sit down."
The yamen servant kicked a stool next to him and said, "Good luck, Boss Zhang will give you a seat."
After Old Man Gu sat down, Secretary Zhang took a pen and wrote on the paper for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Name."
"I'm sorry to learn from you."
"Gu Kexue?"
"Gu Xin Gu."
"Where do you live?"
So, Old Man Gu began to answer one by one. After finishing his answer, Zhang Shuban shook his pen and smiled at him: "It turned out to be a silk merchant, very good. Do you know what mistake you made?"
Old Gu took two steps forward, took out a large piece of silver worth ten taels and stuffed it into it, then stepped back.
Zhang Shuban accepted it and took a look at the government officials who could see the five directions and listen to the seven directions. His thoughts were indeed as you said, very generous! Then the smile became even brighter: "It's okay, old man, don't worry, just say whatever it is, it's nothing important, it's just a small matter."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Old Man Gu, seeing the other party accept the money, and soothing him with such gentle words, thought to himself that he would not quarrel with you, and that it should be whatever you say. Then he said: "I heard that I shouldn't have violated the ban and blocked Shangyuan County's civilized city evaluation."
The secretary¡¯s office asked politely: ¡°What kind of prohibition did you violate?¡±
Although Old Man Gu planned to confess and leave as soon as possible, he couldn't say this kind of thing after all, so he hesitated for a while: "Well um"
Zhang Shuban laughed: "Don't be nervous. This kind of trivial matter is very normal. If you tell me, it will be fine. Do you want to find a secret door and try something new?"
Old man Gu nodded angrily: "Yes."
Zhang Shuban wrote quickly, briefly recording the situation, and then asked Old Man Gu to press his fingerprints. Old Man Gu took it and looked at it briefly. Without hesitation, he dipped his thumb in the red mud and pressed it up.
Zhang Shuban put the confession away, leaned back, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it and see how we can solve it."
"Zhang Shuban, please give me a warm word. What can I do to get out?"
¡°It¡¯s simple, just pay five taels of silver, let your family claim it, and then take it away with you, what do you think?¡±
Old man Gu was startled and said: "My family is all in Zhejiang, how can I have family in the capital?"
Zhang ShubanjiHe continued to smile: "It doesn't matter, there are always friends in Beijing, right? You can just come to me."
Old man Gu shook his head: "No."
Zhang Shuban¡¯s thoughts are just as Zhang expected! After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "The old man is coming from Zhejiang. Can you take out the road to take a look?"
At this time, Old Man Gu was a little confused. He had two road guides, both of which were given to him by Shangsangong. One was the road guide for his natal Gu Kexue, and the other was the road guide under the pseudonym Gu Kexue. The Ke Xue one is no longer used, but the Gu Ke Xue one is still in use, but has not yet had time to find San Gong to replace it.
He had never been to a government office before and had no experience of being tried. He casually gave the pseudonym he had used for the past six months. Who knew he would check the road signs? Now we can¡¯t get along, but what should we do?
While hesitating, Zhang Shuban said: "Old man, it's very difficult for you to be like this. You have no relatives or friends to protect you, and no way to prove your identity. What should you do? I want to help you but I can't. ah."
Old Man Gu observed the words and immediately stepped forward, handing over another ingot of silver. This was the last piece of cash in his pocket, and it was considered a huge investment. The rest are all banknotes, each worth a hundred taels, and there are more than twenty of them, all of which are stored in storage instruments. Asking him to take out a hundred taels of silver and give it to the clerk in front of him, he really hadn't considered it.
Unexpectedly, the clerk pushed the money back from the table and said with a smile: "This is not easy to handle. Zhang is taking care of you within the scope of his duties. This is because you are older." , respect the old and love the young, but I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t work now, and it¡¯s not Zhang who can make the decision. How about you feel aggrieved first and go down and wait for the news, okay?¡±
Old man Gu didn't know why, so he was taken out by the government servant next to him, and he still returned to squatting in the courtyard.
The yamen officer smiled and responded to him along the way, telling him that it was no big deal and that he would just wait for the news.
When the yamen servant went back to see Zhang Shuban, Zhang Shuban snorted coldly and said: "He is obviously a big business, but he wants to send our brothers away with just a few taels of silver. Isn't this a lack of foresight?"
The yamen servant chuckled: "Zhang Shuban is the most considerate of the brothers. We have worked hard for several nights, and we are just waiting to make up for it."
The yamen servant asked: "What should I do with this old man Gu?"
Zhang Shuban said: "According to the latest rules, those who hinder the civilized city evaluation will be recognized by relatives and friends, and will be punished with five taels of silver. Otherwise, they will be detained for fifteen days as a warning to others! Let's see if he has a wink. If he knows the situation, it's okay, otherwise he will be fined. Follow the rules and arrest him."
