Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 185 Banquet Invitation To Zhou Zhi County

Half an hour later, Gu Chen and others rushed back to the city inn.

Then, Nangong Yue sent an invitation to the other county government in the name of preparing to open the shop, hoping to invite the magistrate Zhou Zhi to a restaurant party.

Facing Nangong Yue's invitation, Zhouzhi County quickly sent someone to send a reply, saying that he would definitely attend the banquet on time.

"The magistrate has agreed. Should we go to a restaurant now?"

Nangong Yue held the reply in her hand and hesitated in front of Gu Chen, then asked.

Gu Chen nodded, "Well, it's almost dinner time, let's go over and prepare."

To capture the thief, capture the king first. As long as the magistrate of Qingshui County is captured, there is nothing else to fear.

....

Soon, the time agreed upon by the two came.

Nangong Yue was already sitting in the restaurant's wing waiting, and the table was filled with sumptuous delicacies. As for Gu Chen and others, they were hiding in the dark, preparing to wait for the other party to come in before taking action.

"Miss, Master Zhou is here."

Not long after, the attendant knocked on the door and announced inside.

Nangong Yue immediately put on her veil and stood up to greet him.

"Master Zhou, please come inside."

Seeing Zhou Zhi and some government officials standing at the door, Nangong Yue smiled slightly, stepped aside and invited them.

"You guys wait outside."

Zhou Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and after giving instructions to the yamen servant behind him, he entered the side room directly.

After entering the room, Zhou Zhi looked at the large table of delicacies in front of him and said with a smile: "Miss Yue is indeed our daughter from Kyoto. She knows much more about etiquette and self-cultivation than ordinary women!"

Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Thanks to Zhou Zhixian's help this time, the little girl was able to open a shop in Qingshui County. It is also appropriate to entertain Zhou Zhixian."

"Haha, then the magistrate is not polite. Miss Yue, just take a seat!"

Zhou Zhi was extremely happy to be praised by the other party, and then sat directly at the table, preparing to dine with Nangong Yue.

"hehe."

Nangong Yue laughed and sat down, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked towards the back of the wing.

Just as Zhou Zhi was about to taste the food on the table, several figures suddenly appeared from behind.

Seeing the sudden appearance of several people, Zhou Zhi trembled and dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground. He looked at them in surprise, "Who are you!"

The few people didn't reply and walked straight towards Zhou Zhi.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhi felt bad, turned around and shouted outside the house: "Here comes someone with a thorn..."

boom!

The next second, six government officials burst into the door. At this moment, Liu Yun quickly approached, and the sharp edge of the knife was directly pressed against his neck.

"Don't move, be careful with your adults' heads!"

The faces of the six government officials changed and they shouted loudly: "Let go of the magistrate quickly, otherwise you will never leave here!"

At this time, Zhou Zhi, who was sitting in front of the table, looked at Gu Chen and others, and then looked at Nangong Yue, "Miss Yue, what on earth is going on?! Who are they?!"

Nangong Yue smiled and pointed to Gu Chen next to him, "Zhou Zhixian, why don't you just ask him directly!"

Looking in the direction Nangong Yue pointed, Zhou Zhi's pupils dilated instantly after seeing the man's appearance clearly, and he said in surprise: "It's you!"

Although he had never met Gu Chen, after the incident at the ruined temple, he ordered a painter to draw the appearance of the leader based on the description provided by the Yamen servant.

The man in the portrait is at least seventy-nine similar to the man in front of him.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhou Zhi, and asked, "You went to Tanjiang Village today and took away all the food in the warehouse."

Zhou Zhi did not answer his question, but said angrily: "You are so brave, a thief, that you even dare to attack a court official. Do you know that if anything happens to me, you and your family will be implicated!"

Snapped!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen threw a token directly in front of Zhou Zhi, "See it clearly and then talk to me properly."

Seeing the token on the table, Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "This is the golden token!"

Although he is only a local official, he will go to the court in Kyoto every few years to report the situation to His Majesty. Naturally, he recognizes the golden order given by His Majesty.

Immediately, he immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at Gu Chen curiously, "I wonder who this sir is?"

Gu Chen said: "You don't need to know my identity. Let me ask you, is it Tanjiang Village that you sent people to today?"

Zhou Zhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Gu Chen asked again: "Did you send someone to take away the food in the warehouse?"

Zhou Zhi continued to nod.

"Then the villagers in Tanjiang Village were also arrested by you?"

Zhou Zhi quickly explained: "Sir, I didn't know your identity and thought you were a robber who didn't abide by the law, so I sent people to Tanjiang Village to arrest the grain and several people related to you. But they He was just imprisoned, and he was not forced to confess or punished. I also collected all the food, and you can take it back at any time."

Gu Chen ignored his sophistry and asked: "Where is Li Hongxiong, the head of the household department?"

Zhou Zhi explained: "I haven't seen Master Li these days. He is probably in the city investigating the disaster."

Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions, and then ordered Liu Yun, "I want to tie him up."

Seeing that Gu Chen was about to tie him up, Zhou Zhi immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Sir, have mercy on me. I didn't mean to do this. Please give me a chance to change my ways."

Gu Chen shouted coldly: "This is not what happened today. You should know what you, the county magistrate, did after the disaster broke out in Huzhou!"

"My lord, I didn't do this on purpose. I really have no choice!" Zhou Zhi still argued.

"Catch him!"

Gu Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense to the other party and directly ordered Liu Yun to take action.

It's already this time, and I'm still here quibbling.

There is really no other way, there will still be time to come here and eat meat.

Then, he looked up at the group of government officials who rushed in, "Are you guys going to take action against me?"

The six government officials looked at each other a few times. Although they didn't interrupt just now, they could see everything going on in the room.

This young man is obviously from Kyoto, and his status seems to be higher than Zhou Zhixian.

After some hesitation, one of the government officials raised his head and put the weapon in his hand on the ground, followed by the rest of the people who also put down their weapons.
