Chapter 51 Gu Hua, I heard that I was dead
"Who is it? You dare to kick my door? Don't you know this is the territory of the Caoqing Gang?"

When the people in the dim little dark room saw that the person kicking the door was a tall and stern man, and that following him came in were a dozen government officials, they panicked for a moment and subconsciously wanted to escape by jumping out the window.

When the head constable of Wanping Prefecture saw that they were trying to escape, he immediately ordered, "Don't let them get away. Arrest them all."

When she heard the door being kicked open, Gu Hua did not get up immediately. Instead, she lay on the ground in an even more miserable look. The water that the robber had not poured out had poured onto her at some point.

Gu Hua said that being held hostage for a whole night and still being energetic was not in line with the image of a hostage.

Qi Yan rushed in and saw Gu Hua's appearance. Something flashed in his eyes. He took off his outer robe, walked over to put it on her, and bent down to pick her up.

Gu Hua shook his head and refused, "No, I can get up by myself."

Madam Xi and Ergui, who were found by Qi Yan and rushed to report to the police, came in and stepped forward to help Gu Hua up.

Madam Xi: "Boss Gu has suffered."

"Master, are you okay?" Ergui was very sad to see his master being soaked like this.

How could he have imagined that it was his own master who did it himself in order to make the crime scene more shocking.

Gu Hua comforted him: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Madam Xi: "Master Yan knew that his legs and feet were not in good condition and was afraid of wasting time after hearing the news. Although he was anxious, he did not follow."

Gu Hua looked at Madam Xi who was explaining for Yan Minghua and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that they got along well since they first met.

At that time, considering Qi Yan's identity as a northern barbarian, he pointed to Jinyuanfang and asked him to find Xi Niangzi and Yan Minghua Ergui and others, and then pointed to the government office on the same street as Jinyuanfang.

Seeing the bailiffs arresting people at this time, Gu Hua knew that Qi Yan completely understood what she wanted to express.

"Did those yamen runners hear what those people said just now?"

Qi Yan looked at Gu Hua's clothes still dripping with water, frowned, and nodded: "Everyone heard it. So many people heard it. They can't deny it this time."

Gu Hua: "That's good. It's worth getting soaked."

Over a dozen yamen runners captured the kidnappers from the Caoqing Gang. Turning back, they saw Gu Hua dripping wet and with a pale face, looking miserable as if she might faint at any time. Their eyes revealed sympathy for her.

It also further confirmed the crime of several members of the Caoqing Gang who kidnapped and extorted her. Those people were thrown into jail, and no one paid any attention to their cries for justice.

As several members of the Caoqing Gang were arrested, Boss Xi and his son were soon taken to the Wanping government office.

They never expected that the Caoqing Gang, who were usually so arrogant at the dock, were so useless and would involve them.

Gu Hua was the victim. After being taken to the yamen and explaining everything, he was allowed to leave.

Before leaving, Gu Hua secretly gave five hundred taels of silver to the Wanping prefect. She mentioned that during her kidnapping, one of the kidnappers revealed that her parents, the head of the Jiangzhou Gu family, were killed by someone who bribed the Caoqing Gang.

If it is convenient, please ask the Wanping prefect to help her interrogate those Caoqing Gang members. If you have any news, please inform her and she will be rewarded handsomely.

Trying criminals is what the government should do. The Wanping prefect has received benefits from Gu Hua. If the unjust, false and wrong cases of the past are really solved, he can also gain political achievements. No matter how the Wanping prefect thinks about it, he will agree.

……

Although he had made arrangements to find a goat wet nurse for the four little ones before leaving, the children had never left his side for too long since they were born, and Gu Hua could not help but feel worried about them.

After leaving the government office, he went to Jinyuanfang to change clothes. He declined Xi Niangzi's request to stay and wanted to catch up with them by boat, but was stopped by Qi Yan who had been following him. "You can't catch up with them like this. I have already left a letter for Mu Feng, asking them to go back to Jiangzhou without waiting for us.

If we travel by land at full speed we can get back in less than three days, and maybe we will even get there before them."

Gu Hua thought about it and agreed to Qi Yan's proposal.

The horses that they did not take with them when they left were kept in Jinyuanfang. The two men went to the stable in the backyard to select two horses that looked like they had good speed. After saying goodbye to Madam Xi and Yan Minghua, they set off on their journey.

……

On a canal cargo ship.

The next day, Xia He and Mu Xue did not see Gu Hua in her cabin, and found signs that the room had been rummaged through, which confirmed their guess from the previous night.

However, after discovering that their master was missing, Xia He and Mu Xue still went to find Mu Feng worriedly and anxiously, asking him to take people to find Gu Hua.

Mu Feng took a little master from Mu Xue's arms and teased the fair-skinned baby, "Before Qi Yan left the letter, the master came to me.

She said she had something to do and would leave, so we don't have to worry. We will be credited with a great achievement if we can take good care of the young masters and bring the people and goods back to Jiangzhou City safely."

Mu Xue pouted: "Why didn't the master tell us?"

Mu Feng: "The master said that you are very tired from taking care of the children, and was afraid that you would worry and not be able to sleep, so I didn't tell you."

Mu Xue reached out and took the little master back, kicking Mu Feng, "We are more worried if she doesn't say anything."

"Haha!" Mu Feng scratched the back of his head with his hand, "I will send someone to protect you. You two just need to take care of the young master with a few little girls."

"If you were to say so, it's our duty to take care of the young master, no need to be nosy."

Mu Feng, Mu Xue and Xia He all grew up in the Gu Mansion. Although they have different positions, they have known each other since childhood.

Knowing that Gu Hua had informed Mu Feng before leaving, Mu Xue and Xia He knew their master's abilities and were not so worried anymore.

When Gu Hua was not around and the children were hungry, Xia He took four maids to squeeze goat milk, put almonds in it, cooked it and fed it to them while it was still warm.

At first, the four children cried and refused to drink. The distressed Xia He and Mu Xue wanted to run out and immediately catch their master to feed him. What was more frustrating was that they didn't know where their master had gone.

Later, when they were so hungry that they couldn't wait for their heartless mother, the four children drank the goat milk warmed on the small stove with a grunt.

Gu Hua and Qi Yan traveled day and night without dismounting, and finally returned to Jiangzhou City at noon on the third day.

There were many people on the street, and the two men rode slowly to East Street where the Gu Mansion was located. From a distance, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of the gate of the Gu Mansion and making a lot of noise.

Gu Hua dismounted, threw the reins to Qi Yan and asked him to find a place to tie the horse, then slowly walked towards the gate of his house to watch the excitement.

She had been running all the way back and just needed something lively to relieve her fatigue.

"Gu Fu, don't think that just because you were given the surname Gu by the master, you are really the manager of the Gu Mansion.

Your head Gu Hua has died in Saibei and cannot come back. Today we must take over the Gu Mansion and return it to the Gu clan for management."
