I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Now, Ge Chong has more than just a county magistrate standing behind him.

Even if we don't take into account his connections in official circles, the more than 600 desperate criminals under his command are no joke!

So, who would dare to use the three words "Ge Xiucai" to mock such a gangster in a sarcastic way?

The answer is Ge Chong’s neighbor, a rich second-generation who is uneducated and uneducated.

This person did not know Ge Chong's true identity. In fact, in the entire Lu'an County, except for a very small number of people, everyone else thought that Ge Chong was just an innkeeper.

A scholar who failed the imperial examination seven times, a poor fellow who opened a restaurant but was forced to go bankrupt by gangsters, and a cowardly boss who opened an inn only after he flattered the county magistrate's brother-in-law and got protection, are not worthy of respect.

Well, at least this rich second generation never shows respect.

"..."

After reaching the age of forty, Ge Chong had become somewhat self-controlled and was no longer impulsive.

Normally, when the kid next door called him Ge Xiucai, Ge Xiucai, even though he still felt a little pain in his heart, he would just laugh it off and ignore it.

But at this time, Ge Chong was worried that the struggle among the upper echelons would affect him, and his mood was extremely bad.

Hearing this person's ridicule again, he immediately became angry!

"How dare you, Shuzi?!"

He stared at the young man holding a folding fan and spoke word by word.

"Hey"

The young man had just uttered the words with an exaggerated expression when he was immediately frightened by the fierce look in Ge Chong's eyes.

How could such a cowardly boss have such a scary look?

The young man was a little afraid, but he didn't want to lose face, so he could only stiffen his neck and glare back.

Ge Chong smiled coldly, made a neck-cutting gesture to him, then turned around and returned to his home.

......

"The kid next door is making trouble, why are you fussing with him?"

When Ge Chong returned home, his old father advised him, "Let it go, I think."

Ge Chong never told his father about the illegal salt trafficking.

But they are a family after all, and coupled with some clues from the past, the old man also had some guesses.

Therefore, when he saw Ge Chong making a throat-cutting gesture through the window, he immediately came forward with a bowl of tea to persuade him.

"Dad, I'm just an innkeeper, what can I care about?"

Ge Chong reached out to grab the bowl, but failed to take it away.

"father?"

"Alas, when your mother left, she only hoped that you could be a good person. Have you forgotten what she said?"

After hearing this, Ge Chong frowned.

After a moment of silence, he smiled helplessly: "Forget it, for Dad's sake, let's forgive him for now."

Ge Chong took the tea and drank it all. After thinking for a while, he said, "Dad, can I ask some brothers to take you somewhere else to play for a few days?"

Chapter 094 Chamber Pot and Mallet

Hearing that his son was going to send him out for a trip, Ge Chong's father was not happy at all. Instead, he asked worriedly, "What happened?"

"What's the matter? I just want to honor you!"

Ge Chong said this with a grin, but the old man was still worried.

"I am old and can't walk any more. If there is anything urgent, leave me alone and go on your own."

The old man is about the same age as the current emperor, but because of the hard work in life, he looks a generation older than the latter.

His body really can't stand the long journey.

Even if they took a horse-drawn carriage, the limit was to travel from Lu'an County to Lin County. If they really wanted to leave the county or the state as Ge Chong had imagined, they would probably die on the way.

"..."

Ge Chong looked at his father's haggard body. Even though he knew it was not right for him to stay here, he found it hard to bring himself to talk about going out for fun.

He sighed secretly, paced back and forth in the room several times, and then slowly said: "Dad, I am just in case, it is far from that point. My son is capable, just like that precious sword. Even if the old master is no longer capable, there are still people who want to use me, and I will not be thrown away. Besides, the knife is a dangerous weapon and can hurt people!"

What precious sword, what old master hurting people, the old man actually didn’t understand much.

But since his son said it was okay, he believed it.

"That's fine, that's fine."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but seemed a little unhappy for some reason.

Without waiting for Ge Chong to ask curiously, he said, "Your mother asked you to be a good person, but you don't want to be a real man. Why do you want to be a useless sword?"

Ge Chong was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

.....

a few days later.

Ge Chong bought two pots of wine and was drinking with his father when the county's captain Qian suddenly broke into the house with a group of people.

"Boss Ge, the new master must ask you to come over. The brothers are also following orders. Please bear with me."

Captain Qian is one of the few people who knows Ge Chong's background, and he really doesn't want to offend this evil star.

But a new official has three big things to do when he takes office, and this time the fire fell on Ge Chong, and Captain Qian was really helpless.

"Dad, I'll be back soon. It's nothing, the new county magistrate wants to see me."

Captain Qian did not urge him. After Ge Chong comforted his old father, he led him to the county government office with a bitter face.

“It shouldn’t be so fast.”

Halfway through the journey, Ge Chong suddenly said something in a low voice.

Captain Qian immediately came closer and said, "I also thought it shouldn't be so fast. The only possibility is that the county governor took the initiative."

The county magistrate of Lu'an County has always been restless, so it is reasonable for him to take the initiative this time.

"Is it a demotion or an adjustment?" Ge Chong asked again.

"Horizontal transfer! The master wanted to wait a few days before leaving, but the new master came with the transfer order and forced him to leave immediately."

The person who came had bad intentions, but it's okay to just transfer him to a lower position. The old master hasn't been completely defeated yet, and one of his major backers hasn't fallen yet.

"Boss Ge, please pay more attention. I feel that this new master is extraordinary."

Captain Qian's words startled Ge Chong, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

"He is young and promising, and he doesn't follow the rules. He doesn't seem to come from a big family. He is not simple, really not simple."

Being young and impulsive, they do not follow the rules.

He was born in a humble family and had no regard for dignity.

A person like this was transferred to Lu'an County at this moment. What exactly does the person behind the scenes want to do?

"Thank you, Captain Qian. I'll make a note of it."

Ge Chong suppressed the gloom in his heart and said with a smile: "I wonder what the new county lord's name is?"

"Zhu has courage, Lord Zhu."

.....

"I, Ge Chong, pay my respects to Master Zhu..."

The man knelt on the ground, but listened for a long time.

He was quite worried when he came here, but now he is calm.

If the other person doesn't say anything, just kneel down. It's just a show of power, no big deal.

Half an hour later, Zhu Youdan felt that the time was right.

He slammed the table and shouted, "You bold Ge Chong, you are guilty of smuggling salt, and you should be executed according to the law!"

"I am innocent--" Ge Chong kowtowed repeatedly.

"Unjust? Humph, just look at these evidences. Have I wronged you?"

Zhu Youdan asked someone to bring a wooden box. Ge Chong actually had no interest in looking through it, but in order to cooperate, he still took a quick look at the evidence of his crime.

Well, it is indeed painstaking and the evidence is irrefutable.

"Sir, please spare my life--" Ge Chong kowtowed again.

"You guys step back first"

Zhu Youdan is really brave. He actually dares to be alone with a person like Ge Chong.

Or maybe he didn't take the latter seriously at all?

"Ge Chong, I know you have no choice. If an official asks you to do something, how dare you not do it?"

"Your Excellency is wise—"

Zhu Youdan smiled slightly and said condescendingly: "I have all the evidence of your crimes in my hands. Don't play any tricks in the future, just work for me with peace of mind."

"..."

If the former county magistrate was demoted or even thrown into prison, Ge Chong would definitely obey.

But the problem is, they just adjust it horizontally, horizontally!

If you rush to defect when the outcome of the game has not yet been decided, wouldn't you be a fool?

Seeing that Ge Chong just kowtowed without any clear response, Zhu Youdan became furious.

"I'm kind enough to spare your life, but you're so cunning? Ge Chong, Ge Chong, do you really think you're some kind of hero? I'm telling you, you're just a one-night stand!"

The killing power of the two words "chamber pot" is hundreds or thousands of times that of Ge Xiucai.

Veins popped up on Ge Chong's forehead. He raised his head abruptly and said, "Master Zhu, this is too much!"

"Too much? Ha, do I have to tell you to leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future? You really make yourself proud."

Bang

Zhu Youdan slammed the gavel and ordered his men to take Ge Chong to jail.

.....

There was no public trial. Ge Chong was severely tortured after being taken to prison.

Of course, these tortures were not to make him cough up any more evidence, but...

"Ge Chong, where did you hide all that ill-gotten wealth? Hand it over immediately, and I will spare your life!"

When the whip dipped in salt water came down on him, Ge Chong grimaced but did not shout out.

Amid the pain, his mind became clearer.

Since he was thrown into jail for "no reason", Captain Qian would definitely contact his old boss as soon as possible.

Maybe what Zhu Youdan said was right, I am just a one-night pot.

But not everyone can be a chamber pot, and not all chamber pots can run the private salt business for the masters!

Even if I am just a chamber pot, it is a golden chamber pot and the master would not be willing to throw it away.

So what if the evidence is irrefutable?

As long as you can withstand the beating, you will be able to get out in a few days.

Crunch -

The iron gate opened, and it seemed that another prisoner was being brought down.

Ge Chong looked up and his face turned pale instantly.

"Dad?! You damned Zhu, come at me if you dare, come at me if you dare!!!"
