Chapter 1: The Wedding Night (New Book...)

  "Bad news, something big has happened. Just now, a message came from the county yamen's main prison. Liu Lao Lai, fearing punishment, killed himself by crashing into a wall, and that little scoundrel Liu Aman took advantage of the chaos in the prison to escape."

  He came with an iron tower-like body, and his dark face showed a look of horror.

  Guo Ye looked back after hearing the voice and saw that it was Cheng Er Niu who was preparing to return home to sleep.

  Listening to Cheng Er Niu's report, the faces of Pang Fei Hu, Guo Ye and Zhu Peng Chun were all colorful and different.

  Pang Feihu's face was incredulous, his mouth agape and eyes wide open, silently shaking his head.

  Kuo Yeh's eyebrows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, then he sighed a few times.

  Only Zhu Pengchun's expression was the most rich, this guy jumped up and down on his legs, running around in circles in the big house, shouting: "Haha, Liu Lao died, died well, died well!"

  Then he grasped Guo Yi's arm and shook it vigorously, excitedly shouting: "Brother Guo, now nothing can be done about it. With Liu Lao Lai dead, no one can say anything clear about this matter."

  Cheng Er Niu didn't know the reason, seeing Zhu Peng Chun go crazy, Zhang Er monk looked at each other in a daze, just like looking at an idiot.

  Guo Ye didn't have time to explain things to Cheng Er Niu, and instead said to Zhu Peng Chun: "Yes, with Liu Lao Lai's death, this silver is now clean, and we don't need to worry about others investigating. However..."

  He paused for a moment, turned his head and smiled bitterly at Pang Feihu: "However, with Liu Lao's death, Liu Amao escaped from prison. As for Pang Ban, Qin Wei that son of a bitch has managed to escape disaster and avoid calamity. With no evidence, nobody can do anything to him now. Alas..."

  Pang Feihu clenched his fists tightly, his face twisted in a scowl as he growled in a low voice: "This is a conspiracy, that damned Qin Wei must have been behind it, and Liu Lao's death has something to do with him."

  Pang Fei Hu could think of it, how could Guo Ye not think of it?

  Guo Ye did not comfort the somewhat anxious and irritable Pang Fei Hu, but instead sighed repeatedly, "Cruel, really cruel. That bastard Qin Wei is indeed ruthless."

  He finally understood why Qin Wei wanted to talk to Liu Lao alone at the Liu family in Dongliu Township. He must have secretly promised Liu Lao something, and the condition was to let his father-in-law Liu Lao commit suicide out of fear of punishment, letting the truth about the theft of tax grain sink completely into the water, ending it there.

  No wonder Liu Lao's face was as pale as a dying man at that time, numb Qin Wei, little brother really looked down on you.

  Now, Guo Ye's mind was suddenly clear and all the previous puzzles were solved. No need to guess, Qin Wei must have also smoothed out all the connections in front of County Magistrate Gu Dezhao, otherwise he wouldn't have brought people over soon after they broke into Liu's mansion.

  Kuo's mind couldn't help but raise doubts again. County Magistrate Ku Te-shao was able to entrench himself in Lung-hsi City for so many years, despite having a grudge against the ninth-ranking official of the Board of Works, Ma Yüan-te, and yet he could still hold onto his position as county magistrate as stably as Mount Tai, showing that this man's methods were high, his schemes deep, and absolutely not something an ordinary martial artist could compare to.

  When a military officer meets a civil officer, he should be humble and courteous. Gu Xianwei was able to fight with Gong Cao Ma Yuanji on an equal footing, which is definitely not a good thing.

  But he is such a person, how can he be so protective of Qin Wei, who has done nothing but cause trouble and steal taxes?

  Isn't this subordinate the most hated by their superior in the workplace?

  Isn't there something fishy going on between County Captain Gu Dezhao and Catcher Qin Wei? Are they connected by some kind of interest?

  Kuo Yeh became more and more frightened as he thought about it. If this time the snake was not killed, but instead attracted the attention of Hsien Yu, Ku Te-yu, who would then take advantage of his own weakness to persecute him...

  If Qin Wei, the enemy in front of him, was a small mound, then County Lieutenant Gu Dezhao was a high mountain built by countless mounds.

  The ninth-grade county guard, in charge of the entire Longxi County's procuratorial and judicial system, as well as the public security and political and legal affairs systems, is not something that a small yamen runner like him can provoke or shake.

  "Guo Xiaoge, Guo Xiaoge?"

  Pang Feihu called out a few times to recall Guo Ye, who was lost in his own thoughts. He simply pushed Guo Ye's shoulder lightly a few times without touching his back.

  Otherwise, as long as he touched Guo Ye's back, he could tell that Guo Ye's back was covered in sweat at this moment. It wasn't hot sweat, but cold sweat, and he was scared out of his wits.

  "Huh?"

  Kuai Ye woke up with a start and responded, then forcibly restrained the fear on his face. He spoke cautiously to Pang Feihu: "Boss, let's put this matter aside for now?"

  Pang Feihu saw that Guo Ye's face was relaxed, but somewhat forced, especially when speaking with a rare serious tone, which made him take it seriously.

  Guo Ye meant to say that Qin Wei's matter would end here, but he still had an unfulfilled desire. He saw the tiger step by step into the trap and was about to fall into the pit, but unexpectedly, the tiger suddenly stopped in its tracks, turned around and escaped swiftly.

  How could this make him willing?

  Qin Wei, this bastard, has always been coldly ridiculing and hotly satirizing the soap class. Especially this time, he almost got Zhang Xiaoqi killed, and the entire soap class brothers almost had to take off their uniforms and go home to farm. How can Peng Fei Hu swallow this resentment?

  Furthermore, Qin Wei was determined to get rid of his most trusted subordinate, Guo Ye.

  Qin Wei's life was in danger every day, and his brothers Gao Pian and Guo Ye were like a sharp knife hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment, making the back of his neck feel cool and breezy.

  Seeing Pang Fei Hu still hesitating, Guo Ye softly advised: "Boss, I also want to get rid of Qin Wei and feel relieved afterwards. However, looking at the situation today, Qin Wei is not as simple as we imagined, and it's possible that the person above him has a deeper relationship with him."

  After finishing speaking, Guo Ye raised his hand, clenched his fist and pointed upwards with his index finger.

  This superior naturally refers to Qin Wei and Pang Feihu's immediate supervisor - County Captain Gu Dexiang.

  When Guo Ye said this, Pang Fei's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, because there was one thing he was very clear about: although he and Qin Wei were both leaders of the class, in County Magistrate Gu Dezhao's eyes they were not equal.

  One is that he was already a class leader before Gu Dexiang, the county magistrate, came to Longxi City, and Qin Wei was promoted by Gu Dexiang. If he is a wild card, then Qin Wei is indeed the legitimate heir of County Magistrate Gu.

  Secondly, because of the Daxing Casino in Longxi City, he has always known that Qin Wei is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Daxing Casino. Even Pang Feihu can know this trivial matter about Qin Wei, how could County Magistrate, who has many connections in Longxi City, not know?

  However, County Magistrate pretended to be unaware and allowed Qin Wei to operate a gambling den behind the scenes, making a lot of money.

  What does this mean?

  Pang Feihu is now just like Guo Ye, his thoughts suddenly clear and bright.

  Everything is no longer as simple as it was imagined before.

  Guo Ye looked at Pang Feihu and saw that he was also in a dilemma, so he plucked up the courage to put his hand on Pang's shoulder and whispered: "Boss, we have this silver in our hands, at least we don't have to worry about the brothers having a hard time. So now we need to be even more calm. You and I must plan carefully before acting, and know ourselves and the enemy well, otherwise we'll be confused and dismissed from office, played with by Qin Wei like a drum in his hands."

  Sigh...

  A single word can awaken a person from their dream!

  Pang Feihu's expression slightly eased after listening, and he nodded in agreement with Guo Ye's opinion.

  Then he waved his hand at Cheng Er Niu and others, smiling: "You've all been tired for a night, so go back and rest. Although Liu Lao Lai is dead and Liu A Man has escaped, this has nothing to do with our Bao Ban, it's the Zaoyi Ban's business. This time capturing Liu Jia father and son, our Bao Ban will be credited with the first achievement. I estimate that early tomorrow morning, County Master's reward will come down."

  Cheng Er Niu didn't know that Zhang Bang had secretly embezzled a large sum of silver, and now upon hearing the word "reward", he couldn't help but grin from ear to ear and repeatedly shouted "Good!"

  Zhu Pengchun swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "Squad leader, Guo Xiaoge, that...that Wu family's brush..."

  The words had barely left his mouth when Guo Yi immediately stopped him: "Let's calm down for two or three days, and talk about it again after the storm has passed."

  As soon as Zhu Pengchun heard Guo Xiaoge speak, he was more than willing to listen. Without Guo Xiaoge, where would Zhu Pengchun's happy days come from?

  Under Pong Feihu's urging, Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu, Zhu Pengchun two people first went out of the soap house, left the county government to go home and rest.

  Guo Ye fell asleep as soon as he returned home after a sleepless night and the early morning hours that followed.

  He fell asleep and didn't know how long he had slept before being woken up again by a series of loud knocking sounds at the door.

  Gao Ye, who was still half asleep, was about to curse loudly, but suddenly looked out the window with its paper-covered panes and saw that the sky had already darkened somewhat. Had he really slept for a whole day?

  Gulu, gulu~~

  My stomach is growling, I haven't eaten all day, forget about sleep, get up and go find something to eat.

  Wearing his clothes and dragging his black leather boots, Guo Ye slowly made his way out of the room towards the courtyard.

  Ouch!

  Guo Ye opened the door and thought it might be Cheng Er Niu calling him to go find a place to eat, but unexpectedly, the one standing at the door was actually Yushi Ruan Lao San.

  How did Lao San suddenly find himself in front of his own house?

  Guo Ye couldn't help but hesitate, but before he could ask, Ruan Lao San hastily shouted: "My little brother Guo, why are you still sleeping? The county magistrate's reward notice has arrived..."

  Without saying a word, he dragged Guo Ye out of Youmahu Alley in a hurry.
