Chapter 390 Gu Er's Decision

Seeing Wang Zhong covered in mud and water, Gu Er's mood was rather complicated.

"Is everything settled?" Wang Zhong walked to the edge of the field, wiped his face and neck with a towel, picked up the water bottle made of bamboo tube hanging on his body, pulled out the stopper and asked while drinking.

Gu Er nodded: "I have already chased away the person!"

Wang Zhong shook his head, looked at Gu Er, and said helplessly: "Zhong Huai, Zhong Huai, you are simple. Things that involve yourself are always unclear."

Gu Er frowned, and looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "What does Zi Hou mean by that?"

Rao is a close friend, the first time he heard this, Gu Er was inevitably a little unhappy, but Gu Er was not reckless, thinking that Wang Zhongjuan would not shoot the target without reason, he must have his reasons for saying this.

"Let's talk as we walk!" He told the people behind him to stay away, don't follow, and go back to Zhuangzi by himself later.

The two were walking on the ridges of fields, and Wang Zhong asked, "What do Zhong Huai think of his intelligence?"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Er said modestly: "I dare not say that it is hard to find in the world, but there are also some advantages."

Wang Zhongdao: "With Zhonghuai's intelligence, Zhu Manniang can play you in the palm of his hand, which shows his means. Since Zhonghuai knows what kind of person Zhu Manniang is, he will naturally not have any contact with him in the future, but Zhonghuai can think about it." Has Sister Rong and Brother Chang?"

Gu Er's pupils shrank suddenly, he only wanted to drive away the two brothers and sisters Zhu Manniang, he didn't want to see them again, and he didn't want Sister Rong and Brother Chang to have any contact with such a biological mother.

Without waiting for Gu Er to say anything, Wang Zhong continued: "Brother Chang is still young and doesn't remember things. After a while, he will naturally forget about Zhu Manniang, but Sister Rong has already remembered things, and it's Mannia who is big and small. They brought up a mother and daughter who have a very deep relationship, if Zhu Manniang came to the door quietly in the future, do you think Sister Rong will go to see her?"

"This..." Gu Er couldn't help but stagnate.

But then Gu Er shook his head and said: "I've let go of the word, let the two brothers and sisters leave Quanzhou immediately, and they are not allowed to come back, and they are not allowed to return to Tokyo twice."

Wang Zhongdao: "Even God sometimes dozes off, can Zhong Huai keep an eye on their whereabouts all the time, or is Zhong Huai Neng Rong sister always by his side?

If that Zhu Manniang had malicious intentions and secretly came to the door while Zhong Huai was not at home, tricked Rong and Chang away, then what would Zhong Huai do? "

"Why did she come to the door..." Gu stopped abruptly in the middle of his second sentence. With his cleverness, he couldn't think of Zhu Manniang's purpose for doing this.

"Not good!" Thinking of the pair of children who are now being taken care of by the envoy at home, Gu Er couldn't bear the worry in his heart anymore, and immediately ran all the way down the mountain, and with a puzzled look on his face, he found the horse who was being taken care of by the farmer. Son, beat the horse and gallop back to the city.

When it comes to a pair of children, even with Gu Er's disposition, he can't keep calm after all.

After all, today's Gu Tingye is not the same as the Erlang of Ningyuan Hou Gu's family in the original plot who fell into a trough after his father's death, his stepmother turned against him, and was deceived by Mannia. Go out of Beijing and become Bai Ye.

Today's Gu Er finally understands why his father refuses to let Mannia in, and why those rich and powerful families always have prejudices against women from humble backgrounds like Mannia.

Although not all women from humble backgrounds are as ambitious as Mannia, but not all of them are as Mr. Lianxi said.

Gu Er hurried home, but he didn't see Sister Rong and Brother Chang. After asking, he realized that they were picked up by Wang Li's. Gu Er hurried all the way to Wang Chong's house, but when he arrived at Wang Chong's house, he asked , Mrs. Wang and Li went to the cloth dyeing workshop with Mrs. Wei early in the morning, and they were not at home at all.

Gu Er just remembered that he saw Sister Qian and Brother Xu on Zhuangzi just now, and immediately asked the housekeeper impatiently, "Where are Sister Qian and Brother Xu? Are you at home?"

The butler replied respectfully: "If you go back to Mr. Lang, our eldest girl and second brother went to Zhuangzi with the judge yesterday afternoon, and I guess they won't be back until tonight!"

Gu Er's heart suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley.

He hurriedly pulled Shitou and asked Shitou to go to Jihai Shop to ask for help, while he went straight to the Yamen.

Gu Er is Wang Zhong's guest, and his own talents have been displayed to the fullest in the past few months. In addition, he was born in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in Tokyo. According to Gu Er's description, a special person was hired to draw the portraits of Zhu Manniang's brother and sister, and prepare to issue the arrest document.

There was no news until dark. Like an ant on a hot pot, Gu Er searched the streets and alleys of Quanzhou city with a stone. He asked people when he saw them, but he didn't find out if he and Zhu Manniang were still together. There is news about a pair of children.

Until the evening, Gu Er walked down the street with a dejected expression on his face, and the stone who followed Gu Er also had a sad expression on his face.

Gu Er was walking with his head down, but was suddenly pulled by a stone. Gu Er turned his head and looked at the stone in doubt: "What's wrong?"

Shi Shi rushed forward and raised his head slightly: "Young master, look!"

Gu Er turned his head and looked forward, and saw a tall and burly figure standing in the middle of the road, that figure was very familiar to Gu Er.

"Zihou?" Although there are night markets in Quanzhou, they are only concentrated in the east and west cities and the newly built Anlefang. Now even the east and west cities are not crowded. Everyone goes to the environment and the environment is better. They look clean, tidy and orderly. Anlefang.

The pedestrians on the street were lonely, there were only a few lanterns here and there, it was unavoidably dim, and when they got closer, Gu Er could clearly see the face of the person coming.

"Zihou? Why are you?"

Wang Zhong said: "I am too anxious, come with me!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhong turned around and left.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Gu Er quickly caught up with Wang Zhong, but Wang Zhong didn't answer, but still walked forward quickly.

Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong, and couldn't help guessing in his heart: Could it be that Zihou had someone catch Mannia?
"Zi Hou! Zi Hou..."

But Gu Er, who was worried about the safety of his children, couldn't bear it anymore, he even stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhong's hand excitedly.

Wang Zhong stopped, looked at Gu Er, sighed, and then said: "Don't worry, since Sister Rong and Brother Chang call me uncle, I will naturally not let them have any trouble."

"What happened all this time?" Gu Er asked in bewilderment.

Wang Zhongdao: "Zhonghuai thinks that I have been eating dry food in Quanzhou for the past few years?"

Gu Er didn't know why Wang Zhong suddenly mentioned this, but he still responded: "Of course not. If you are a freelancer, then not all the officials in the world will only eat for a living and don't work."

Wang Zhongdao: "Everyone in Quanzhou has my eyes and ears. As early as the first day Zhonghuai brought Mannia and the others to Quanzhou, I made people stare at Mannia!
On the day when Zhong Huai drove Zhu Manniang and his sister away, they sneaked back into the city that night. Until yesterday, when Zhong Huai went to the village to look for me, Zhu Manniang found an opportunity and bribed an unsuspecting female envoy from my family to send me to the village. Sister Rong and Brother Chang were cheated out of Zhonghuai's house. "

When Gu Er heard the news that Sister Rong and Brother Chang were safe, he had already calmed down. He looked at Wang Zhong and said, "So the envoy was deliberately bribed to push things along and let Mannia take away Sister Rong and Brother Chang." , so that I can know the price of being soft-hearted for a moment?"

"After all, Sister Rong and Brother Chang are also Mannia's sons and daughters. Even if Tiger Poison does not eat children, no matter how vicious Mannia is, she will not harm their siblings. At most, she will use them to blackmail me!"

Wang nodded and said: "Not bad! It's not bad!"

Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong with complicated eyes. In the end, all the words and emotions turned into a sigh, shook his head, and laughed at himself: "It's useless for me, Gu Tingye, to claim to be smart, but I fell twice on the same woman."

Wang Chongdao: "People are not sages, who can do without faults, and can correct them if they are faults. There is nothing good about it!"

"If it weren't for the presence of Zihou, I'm afraid I'll live in regret all my life!" Just thinking about it, Gu Er felt palpitations. If his mother took her away, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Wang Zhongdao: "It's not wrong to be kind-hearted. What's wrong are those who don't know how to repent, are greedy, use low methods, use Zhong Huai's kindness, and do everything they can."

"Don't comfort me!" Gu Er said with a disappointed face.

Wang Zhong said, "I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm just stating a fact."

Gu Er didn't argue with Wang Zhong, but asked, "Where are Sister Rong and Brother Chang now?"

Compared with Zhu Manniang, Gu Er is more concerned about the safety of his children.

"Sister Tongqian and Brother Xu are with them, and my sister-in-law and aunt Wei are taking care of them. It's fine!"

"Where are the Mannia brothers and sisters?" Gu Er asked.

Wang Zhongli said confidently: "The sea arrest paperwork has been issued, so he is naturally in prison at this moment!"

Gu Er was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then looked at Wang Zhong with complicated eyes, and suddenly bowed his hands and bowed: "Because of my business, I have spent so much time on it, I..."

In the middle of Gu Er's words, Wang Zhong interrupted him, and Wang Zhong held his bowed hands with one hand: "You and I, why do you need to say such outrageous things!"

"I know what Zhonghuai is worried about. It's just that Zhu Manniang will hurt the future of Sister Rong and Brother Chang. But if you try your best to cover up the things in this world, it means that they never happened. If you get ahead, but if you don't live up to it, even if you have a wealth of millions, wealth and honor for many generations, you can only end up in a white and clean world in the end."

"How does Zihou plan to deal with the Mannia brothers and sisters?" Gu Er still couldn't help asking.

Wang Zhongdao: "This is Zhonghuai's family matter. Zhonghuai has made up his own mind, so I will not interfere. I have already said hello to the prison. Zhonghuai can just pick up the person himself."

The sea arrest documents have already been issued. In fact, Wang Zhong can deal with Zhu Manniang and her elder brother according to the law, but in the end Wang Zhong still chose to hand it over to Gu Er for his own disposal. This is Wang Zhong's attitude towards Gu Er, and it is also a measure .

"Thank you Zihou!" Gu Er cupped his hands, this time Wang Zhong didn't stop him.

The two returned to Wang Zhong's house, seeing that the pair of sons and daughters were not missing a single hair, and were having fun with Wang Zhong's nephew and niece, Gu Er's heart was finally relieved.

Gu Er was worried about his children, and he ran outside all day, and his stomach was already growling with hunger before he got any water or rice. world situation.

"Recently, there have been thieves in Lianghuai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jinghu and other places, has Erlang heard of it?"

Gu Er just said: "Shitou's brother and sister-in-law wrote to say that several groups of powerful water thieves have suddenly emerged recently, entrenched along the canal, specializing in robbing passing ships, and many merchants have been involved."

Wang Zhongdao: "At the beginning of the year when Zhonghuai went south, a group of rebels appeared in Yuzhou and other places, claiming to be under the command of Emperor Zhaode, and they chased and killed Zhao Zongquan, the training envoy of Yuzhou, and his son, as if they wanted to sacrifice their heads to the flag. Fortunately, several generals under Zhao Zongquan's command resisted desperately, so the thieves did not succeed, and the imperial court issued a report to the residence, ordering all states and counties to take strict precautions."

"It seems that there are two other clans who got the Tao and had their heads chopped off!" Gu Er nodded and said, "It's just that I haven't heard any news about these rebels since then!"

"It's nothing more than the calm before the storm. Since the rebels have already claimed the name of Emperor Zhaode, they still dare to hunt down and kill the clan's children openly, and even caused lives. How can the court let it go!"

Gu Er's thoughts turned quickly, but in just a few breaths, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, he frowned and murmured: "Killing the clan, raising the flag of rebellion, but disappearing, is there something hidden? "

Wang Chongdao: "In the current situation, who can say for sure, there may be rebels, but if they are not guaranteed, someone will use the name of rebels to hunt and kill the clan."

"Kill the clan?" Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong in shock and said, "Zi Hou is saying that someone intends to get involved in the big position?"

Wang Chongdao: "Nowadays the situation of the two kings' rivalry is getting more and more fierce, but the official family has never decided on a candidate for the heir. The official house is just a little closer!"

Gu Er looked around and asked: "Zihou means that the reason why the officials have been hesitating is not because they don't know which prince to choose between King Yan and King Yong, but because they are wondering whether they should choose Yanwang or not. The clan other than the king and King Yong are the heirs?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Although King Yong is old, he is incompetent, greedy for money, lustful, virtuous, and has no merits except having many children. Among his children, I haven't heard of any merits.

King Yan is shrewd and capable, but his temper is too tough. Officials have always been known for their generosity and benevolence. Now King Yan is just an idle prince, so he dares to win over courtiers in the court and act so flamboyantly. Sir, what will happen? "

If it was before, Gu Er would probably say, "King Yong is older, so King Li Yong is."

But now Gu Er felt that he could not see clearly.

Gu Er's heart trembled, he looked at Wang Zhong, and said with a serious face: "If someone is really fishing in troubled waters, then this matter will be serious."

Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er and said with a smile, "Time makes heroes!"

The gaze also carried a bit of meaning.

Gu Er squinted his eyes and said: "Although it is an opportunity, it also represents a risk. If you are not careful, the next step may be an abyss."

"If the earthen pot is not broken from the mouth of the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, but a man who lives between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time!"

"Zhong Huai wants to earn the honor of his late mother, this is the right time!"

"Could it be that the gang of rebels made trouble in Fujian?" Gu Er asked.

"That's not true!" Wang Zhong said: "Recently, not only have there been more water bandits on land, but also many pirates have appeared on the sea. Ringworm, but now that Zhong Huai is in vain, it is better to use these gangs of pirates at sea to accumulate merits first, and add the credits of the previous military training, so that I can also ask for credits for Zhong Huai."

"In the vast sea, not to mention exterminating pirates, it may be difficult to find their traces!" Gu Er said.

But Wang Zhong said: "Recently, it has been rumored that Zhizhou wants to send troops to the sea to suppress the bandits. I wonder if Zhonghuai has heard of it?"

"It has already been spread in the army, isn't it true?" Gu Er looked at Wang Chong and said.

"However, the news is true!" Wang Zhong said: "Not only are they going to sea to suppress the bandits, but even the pirates have clues."

"Have a clue?" Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong in surprise.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "As early as when I established the wharf in Quanzhou, I have already started to deploy manpower on the sea. Now there are two commercial routes from Quanzhou to the sea, one goes to Nanyang, and the other goes to Fusang. Some of the people I arranged, and the dozen or so groups of pirates along the way also mixed in with the spies I arranged."

"I have asked Zhizhou for orders. Three days later, a thousand officers and soldiers from the first battalion and the second battalion will go to sea. It's just that the second battalion in Quanzhou has just established, and there is still a lack of a general to lead the army. I wonder if Zhong Huai is interested?"

Gu Er was very moved when he heard the words: "I am a white man with no official position, how can I be the leader of the army!"

"You still have to be so humble like me?" Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er with a smile on his lips.

Gu Er was so watched by Wang Zhong that he couldn't hold back anymore, he finally laughed out loud, raised his glass and said, "Then thank you Zihou for your support!"

But Wang Zhong said: "Sister Rong and Brother Chang can be brought to my house, and Sister Qian can take care of them. With my sister-in-law and Mrs. Wei here, Zhong Huai can go out to fight with peace of mind."

"That's exactly what I mean!" Gu Erlang said in a loud voice.

The two toasted to each other and drank several cups in a row. They discussed many things about pirates and ate while talking, until the appointed clappers were knocked before giving up.

Early the next morning, on the pier, Wang Zhong and Gu Er stood on the shore, watching several tall and strong men push the Zhu Manniang brothers and sisters onto the big boat.

"Zhong Huai can think about it. Once the boat sails, there will be no chance to regret it!" Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er and asked again.

Gu Er sighed, and said helplessly: "For the future of Sister Rong and Brother Chang, I can only wrong her."

Wang Zhong looked at the determination on Gu Er's face, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
