Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 283: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 11

"Xiuqin, do you still remember that the Fifth Prince said that his money and clothes were stolen?"

"No wonder, no wonder he said he would go back in two days... Something big is really going to happen in our village now!" Li Xiuqin said with emotion.

"Yeah!" Gu Yong also shook his head and sighed, "I hope this incident won't affect too many people. As expected, people should be kinder!"

"Qianqian, did you hear me? Don't do anything without conscience in the future, okay?"

"Qianqian knows." Gu Qian said naively.

Soon, three days passed.

During these three days, Gu Qian's family stayed in the inn, and there was no movement from Cheng Shangyu.

Although Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin were anxious to go back, it was not convenient for them to disturb him, and they did not dare to do so.

However, life at the inn for these three days was still very good.

Every day’s meals include meat, vegetables and soup, and the food is much better than before.

Not only Gu Qian gained weight, but also the two adults Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin gained weight.

The county magistrate's office would send people to deliver new clothes and shoes every day, and even give them some silver so that they could go out for a walk in the streets to relieve boredom.

Just like that, on the fourth day they finally received a notice asking them to meet up at the county magistrate's mansion and take a carriage back to the guest village.

Gu Yong did not dare to delay. He packed his luggage and immediately took Li Xiuqin and Gu Qian to the county magistrate's mansion.

When they came, they had no luggage, only a broken cart, but now they are going back, with many bags.

Led by the servant, they soon arrived at the county magistrate's mansion.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince."

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Li, how was your rest these days?"

"Thank you, Your Highness. We had a very good rest. We have gained a lot of weight since we stayed here for a few days."

"That's good."

At this time, the man dressed like a general came out and said, "Okay, everyone is ready. Your Highness, get in the car."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Gu Yong and said, "Follow me."

Cheng Shangyu nodded and said, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Li, follow General Zhao. We will set off now."

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness the Fifth Prince, and thank you, General Zhao."

Several officials from the county government and General Zhao also accompanied them, and a team of constables and soldiers followed behind. A large group of people set out from the county magistrate's mansion.

After an hour and a half's journey, everyone finally reached Ke Village from Wu County.

"Where is the village chief of Ke Village? The county magistrate is here to visit, please ask him to come out and see us." A constable received the county magistrate's signal, walked to the middle of the road and shouted.

"Hey, here you are! Ke Village chief Zhao Minsheng meets the county magistrate and all the officials!" An elderly man trembled as he walked out from a house on the side.

"Get up. Did you know that someone in your village is in trouble?"

"How can we explain this? The villagers of our Ke Village all abide by the law and pay the stamp duty on time. We have never done anything that is against the law!"

"Humph, now gather all the families in the village with girls under the age of 10 to come out. If there is one missing, I will hold you responsible!"

"Okay, wait a moment, wait a moment!" Zhao Minsheng said and immediately turned around and started giving instructions to his son.

The county magistrate sent his detectives to supervise and ensure that everyone was present.

Soon, the constable came to the Gu family following the village chief's list.

"Gu Zhi's family has a girl who is less than ten years old. There are also two elderly people in the family. Should they be brought along as well?"

"Take them all over and let the county magistrate make the decision."

"This... what's going on? Village chief, why did the constable come to our house? I haven't done anything wrong." Gu Zhi heard the voice and walked out of the house in a panic.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he panicked and his heart was pounding.

This...could it be related to the child he robbed a few days ago?

Then he denied himself: It's impossible, how could it be possible?

Although he didn't dare to go up the mountain again, in such weather, in the back mountain, even if he didn't freeze to death, he would be eaten by livestock. How could he still be alive?

Thinking of this, he calmed down again.

"Someone from the county government is here. Just go over there when they tell you to. Don't ask too many questions." The constable was merciless. His words left Gu Zhi speechless, and he didn't dare to say anything else.

Common people like them are most afraid of soldiers and constables.

After all, in today's world, the police can find an excuse to lock up ordinary people. How dare anyone disobey?

"Yes, yes, I'll go call them all out right away." Gu Zhi nodded and bowed to the constable, then turned around and went in to call out the few people who were eavesdropping inside.

"Dad, Mom, Yue'er, let's go quickly, otherwise the officer will get angry and we will be in trouble."

"Zhi'er, why didn't you tell me the reason?" Gu Ming asked worriedly, pulling Gu Zhi.

"Yes, boss, it can't be because..." Zhao Yue'er also thought of what happened that day at the same time as Gu Zhi.

"No!" Gu Zhi rejected Zhao Yue'er's unfinished words without even thinking. Seeing the silence of the people around him, he realized that his emotions seemed to be too extreme.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Dad, I didn't tell you why. Don't worry, we are upright and honest, and no matter what happens, it will definitely have nothing to do with us."

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei both clearly saw the eye contact and conversation between Gu Zhi and Zhao Yue'er. Although they were very confused about what was going on between the two, it was obviously not the time for them to speak.

"What are you doing in there? Why are you so slow in calling someone? Could it be that this matter has something to do with you? Otherwise, why do you feel so guilty!" The officer who was waiting behind was getting impatient and shouted loudly.

Gu Zhi and the others were all shocked. "Dad, let's get out of here quickly, or else we will be implicated in this matter even if it has nothing to do with us."

"Okay, let's go."

Several people hurried out, and Gu Zhi smiled ingratiatingly, "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with us!"

"It's not up to me to decide whether it's related or not. Come with me."

Gu Zhi and his companions followed the officials nervously. When they reached the entrance of the village, they found that there was a huge crowd of people, including both soldiers and officials.

There were also several carriages, one of which was very luxurious and looked extraordinary at first glance.

Several people's faces immediately turned pale with fright. They could all see that what happened today was definitely no trivial matter.

"What is going on? Why are there so many soldiers and officers?" Zhao Mei said in a trembling voice.

But no one could answer her.

At this time, Zhao Yue'er and Gu Zhi were feeling more and more uneasy.

Cheng Shangyu, who was sitting in the carriage, stared at the people coming out of the village through the gap in the carriage.

When Gu Zhi and others appeared, he saw them the first time.

"It's you!" The anger in Cheng Shangyu's eyes was about to burst out.
