Chapter 1235: Sunset
When the prefect arrived at the prison gate with a hundred soldiers of the Xu family, all they saw were Dashu and his gang, who were clean and tidy, and Fatty Chen and his gang, who were in a dishevel and smelled terrible, following behind them.
Seeing the Lord of the Mansion, Fatty Chen and his men were overjoyed. They pointed at Dashu and the others and said, "Sir, it's them. These people are extremely evil and actually wanted to escape from prison. They are extremely evil and lawless. Catch them quickly."
It is difficult to be a prefect. On one side is the local tyrant, and on the other side is the powerful Xu family. It will be bad if you offend either one, and your fate will be miserable if you offend either one.
The guard took a quick look and didn't see Zhou Guo. His face darkened and he asked, "Where's the young master?"
Dashu said, "Young Master, you will be back soon."
They didn't know what they were doing.
Fatty Chen couldn't wait any longer and said to the Lord of the Mansion, "Hey, did you hear me? I order you to arrest them all. Oh, and the one who ran away. She is the culprit. Even if you have to turn the ground up three feet deep, you must bring her back to me!"
His teeth were clenched tightly, his face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness. He had made such a fool of himself today and suffered such a huge loss. If he didn't get back at his enemies, how could he survive in this world in the future?
Dashu and the others looked at him with contempt and said nothing.
The Lord wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled awkwardly, "Master Chen, these people are not my people. I can't order them around."
Fatty Chen understood, "Then he must be here to pick me up."
Pointing at Dashu and the others, he said to his personal soldiers, "Catch them all quickly. I will reward you handsomely later. If you are a step slower, I will make sure you guys pay the price!"
"What a joke, Mr. Chen, you are giving orders to my people. Is there no one left in your Chen family?" Zhou Guo came calmly. He had just solved a major event in his life, and he felt relaxed and in a much better mood.
Seeing her coming, all one hundred soldiers dismounted and saluted, "Sir!"
Zhou Guo nodded, "You came at the right time."
The other side was dumbfounded.
"This……"
Zhou Guo looked at Fatty Chen and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen is really impressive. I just came here and you arrested me and put me in jail without even asking who I am. It seems that your Chen family is quite powerful in Jinling. If I arrest you, will your Chen family still come to take you back?"
Fatty Chen held his chest high, not afraid at all, "It's good that you know my Chen family. If you know what's best for you, admit your mistakes to me and I'll forgive you. Otherwise, it's my turn to take action. No matter who you are, you won't be able to stay in Jinling. No matter whether you are a tiger or a dragon, you have to keep your head down."
Zhou Guo laughed, "Okay, fine, come here, take him away!"
"Yes."
"Humph, don't be so proud. This is my Chen family's territory. You have to kneel down and send me back before dinner!"
Zhou Guo ignored him, and then he saw the Lord of the Mansion wearing official uniform, and raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?"
The Lord wiped the sweat from his face and introduced himself.
Zhou Guo nodded, "Your role as a lord is really interesting. This prison has become the back garden of his Chen family. You can lock up whoever you want, and come and go as you please. So, you want to be the king of Jinling and become independent?"
The Lord of the Mansion waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, oh, Master, I can't do anything. The Chen family has had people serving in the court for generations. The highest official position in the court is the Minister of Personnel, who is Master Chen's uncle. There is also his second uncle and cousin. They are relatives and old friends. They are so powerful. How dare I offend them?"
With no one behind him, how could he dare to fight against such a big family?
Zhou Guo said, "The imperial court? The imperial court is already in a difficult situation. Uncle Chen is imprisoned in the capital and cannot leave. His time is numbered. Why are you still afraid of them?"
If she doesn't vent this anger, not to mention herself, what face will the Xu family have?
People say that the famous fourth son of the Xu family was beaten and severely humiliated by the fat young master of the Chen family when he was enjoying himself in Nanjing?
The Xu family is actually no match for the Chen family?
Ever since Fatty Chen approached her, nothing good would happen to the Chen family. With so many people around her, this news must have spread to Xu Xiushan's ears.
Even if she could swallow this, I'm afraid neither the Xu family father and son could swallow it.
The Lord's eyes lit up, he glanced at Zhou Guo, then immediately lowered his head again.
I believe that every official must have heard of Xu Anbei's name.
He could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. When he encountered corrupt officials, bullies and tyrants, he would kill one if he saw one, or two if he saw two, without mercy.
There was a major purge in Huguang at the beginning of the year. It was this young man's masterpiece. Now it's Jiangnan's turn?
The fat son of the Chen family was still taken away.
It was seen by many people.
When more than a hundred imperial guards riding on tall horses passed through the street, it had already caused a sensation in the whole of Jinling.
Jinling has been prosperous since ancient times. The army could not enter the city when passing through here. The people of Jinling had never seen such a scene and were very surprised.
The news soon reached the Chen family. The old man of the Chen family had passed away long ago, leaving only the old lady. Only these three branches and their relatives were left in Jinling.
The head of the third house is Fatty Chen's father. The family was devastated when they heard that Fatty Chen had been taken away.
In Jinling, they have always been the only ones who can take others away, and no one has ever been able to take the Chen family away.
The old lady tapped her cane and asked, "What is this prefect doing for a living? Don't you want to do this job? Go and ask the prefect to release the people. And by the way, beat to death the man who took my grandson away, so that he won't suffer. This man is too lawless, and he bullied us."
A middle-aged man in his forties frowned in annoyance. "Mom, the world outside has changed a long time ago. It's no longer the time for our Chen family to do whatever we want. The person we offended this time is not an ordinary person. The prefect is gradually not buying our accounts. Let this brat die outside, so that he won't implicate us in the future!"
The old lady said angrily: "Is this something you, a father, can say? Go quickly and bring my grandson back safely, or I will hang myself in front of you!!"
Master Chen raised his legs helplessly, "I can only try. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
Zhou Guogang had just finished his meal at the escort agency. The table was filled with delicious food, and the group ate without even raising their heads.
Xiaoshu said: "The prison cell is really not a place for people to stay!"
Several people came out and washed themselves again and again, fearing that they might have fleas. Once infected, it seemed difficult to eradicate them.
Dashu glanced at him and asked, "Can't I stop you from eating?"
It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I couldn't eat just thinking about that scene.
Zhou Guo looked calm. Not to mention the time when she was fleeing, just talk about the time when she was buried in the backyard making compost. She dealt with all kinds of farm manure all year round, and she still enjoyed the food, didn't she?
