They met not long ago and the friendship was not deep, so Gu Qing borrowed Yang Guozhong's name and bodyguard. This request was a bit too much.

It is impossible to test whether Yang Guozhong is a Gu Dao Rechang person, but he is definitely not a Gu Dao Rechang person. In fact, he is not a good person. The request to borrow his name and bodyguard is a bit serious, and Yang Guozhong subconsciously wants to refuse.

The smile on his face did not fade, Yang Guozhong quickly organized his words in his mind, but before he could speak, Gu Qing rushed to say: "Someone is eyeing our gossip newspaper. Wannian County Magistrate took my subordinates on the order of someone I don't know.

Two people working on this matter, Mrs. Yang, this matter may be minor or serious, it’s up to you.”

Yang Guozhong's eyes suddenly widened. Yesterday, he boasted in front of His Majesty that the gossip report would be handled properly under his and Gu Qing's hands. However, it was clearly arranged just one day later.

"Who, who dares to touch my gossip report?" Yang Guozhong was angry.

Gu Qing looked at him deeply and said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Yang, I am not the one who stirs up trouble. The gossip newspaper is run by us together. I have just come to Chang'an. Apart from offending the Lu family and his son, I have never offended him again."

It’s someone else. On the contrary, Taifu Yang has a high position and must have many political enemies. Wasn’t there someone who kicked you into the water from behind a few days ago? The official thinks that the person who instigated Wannian County Magistrate to arrest people is here for you.

.”

Yang Guozhong glared at Gu Qing: "Who were those two people captured in Wannian County?"

"After the gossip paper was compiled, the two of them were responsible for the printing, and they were also responsible for hiring people to distribute the gossip paper in Chang'an City. Last night, the two of them were drinking and having fun in a brothel and were captured by Wannian County police officers at the same time."

Yang Guozhong nodded slowly: "Then it is indeed for the gossip report."

Gu Qing nodded seriously.

Yang Guozhong is a bad guy, but bad guys are not necessarily smart people. Yang Guozhong relied on his cousin to make his fortune. From an unlearned and unskilled gangster-like character, he became a relative of the current dynasty overnight. He has never experienced the experience of officialdom, and has never been beaten by officialdom.

Today's prosperity is entirely due to Li Longji's favor. He has not restrained himself from occupying land, bullying men and women. Really smart people will not be so ignorant of propriety.

So he believed Gu Qing's words immediately. Not only did he believe it, he immediately agreed to Gu Qing and let Gu Qing borrow his name and bodyguard.

Gu Qing's deception worked yesterday. When Yang Guozhong knew that Gossip was very useful in dealing with political opponents, he became very interested in Gossip and regarded it as part of his career, especially since he roped in Concubine Yang yesterday.

Li Longji promised in front of him that he would handle it well. The gossip paper had risen to a political level, and Yang Guozhong would never allow anyone to touch it.

As a relative of the current dynasty and the emperor's brother-in-law, he said immodestly that there were not many people in Chang'an who scared him. Isn't being domineering and domineering exactly what the emperor's brother-in-law should have when he appears?

Gu Qing immediately thanked him, took more than ten personal guards assigned to him by Yang Guozhong, and hurried towards the Wannian County Government Office.

Everyone was running very fast, and Gu Qing was very anxious. He knew that he had to race against time. He knew very well what would happen to someone without a backer who went to jail, especially when others planned to extract some secrets from the two businessmen.

Gu Qing did not expect that Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing would rather die than surrender. It was easy to say that. In fact, in the face of cruel instruments of torture, few people could rather die than surrender. Gu Qing instead hoped that they would kill each other quickly. After all, he had opened up the links in the palace.

The Bagua newspaper has obtained the consent of the Emperor and Concubine Yang's joining the gang, so it is reasonable and legal.

It's a pity that the two goods haven't returned since yesterday. They probably don't know the news. If they think that they are doing something illegal and don't want to betray Gu Qing, so they grit their teeth and carry on, that would be bad.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing became more and more anxious and walked faster and faster.

A group of people rushed to the Wannian County Government Office. The officer at the door was stunned. A group of armored sergeants surrounded a young man. At first glance, he looked like a rich and powerful playboy who came to destroy the place. The person who came was not evil.

One of the officers hurriedly ran towards the county government office. The other officer was a bit slow to respond. He cast a resentful glance at the officer who ran to report the news first, and then stared nervously at the group of people in front of him, his face as pale as a giant.

enemy.

When you come to cause trouble, you still have to be polite first and then attack. Gu Qing smiled politely at the officer and said: "Did Magistrate Wannian take two businessmen from Shuzhou last night? Were they imprisoned?"

The guard was afraid, but he still said bluntly: "I don't know."

Gu Qing still said in a friendly manner: "Then I dare to ask, can the Wannian County Magistrate be in the county government office?"

"have no idea."

Gu Qing smiled.

Wannian County Magistrate suddenly took someone for no reason. Even a blind person could see that someone was clearly behind the scenes. Gu Qing didn't know who was instigating Wannian County Magistrate. It was probably a courtier who held great power in the court.

It doesn't matter, I will go to the people who surfaced today. Since I have borrowed Yang Guozhong's name, how can I live up to the high expectations of Taifu Yang if I don't do something domineering?

He turned around and looked at the dozen or so personal guards he had brought with him. Their expressions were stern and silent, but there was a murderous aura in their silence. They should have been directly transferred by Li Longji from the Jinwu Guard or the Yulin Guard to serve as Yang Guozhong's personal guards.

.

Gu Qing turned around and looked at them, smiled and said, "Who is the leader?"

One of them, a strong man in his twenties, stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists and said, "The last general is the leader of the team, with me as the leader."

"Do you dare to follow me into the county government office?"

"Taifu Yang has given orders, and all matters must be obeyed by Mr. Young Master."

"Do you dare to help me smash the county government office?"

"Taifu Yang has given orders, and all matters must be obeyed by Mr. Young Master."

"Do you dare to help me beat up the county magistrate?"

"Mr. Yang Taifu has ever..."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know your bottom line."

The officer heard the questions and answers from Gu Qing and his guards nearby, and was frightened. Sure enough, the person who came here was evil, and Wannian County Government is going to be in trouble today!

Gu Qing's smile gradually faded, he took a deep breath and said: "Save people first, then beat up the county magistrate and let you go."

After asking about the location of the prison, Gu Qing led the troops towards the prison.

In front of the prison door, five or six officers were guarding with swords. When they saw Gu Qing and his entourage approaching with unkind expressions, the officers were frightened and drew their swords one after another. One officer said sternly: "Who are you? This is a heavy prison. Do you dare to rob the prison?"

"

Gu Qing's answer was simple: "Dare."

Immediately, he ordered the guards guarding the gate to be brought down, and the guards swarmed forward. Within a few rounds, the guards fell to the ground.

Gu Qing took a look and saw that all the guards suffered superficial injuries. He secretly praised in his heart that these personal guards were very measured.

After finding the key from the officer, Gu Qing opened the cell door and rushed in first. He endured the stench in the prison and searched from cell to cell.

It was not easy to find people in the prison. The prisoners inside were all wearing prison uniforms, with their hair disheveled, and their facial features were dirty and hard to distinguish. After searching one by one, Gu Qing became impatient and simply shouted: "Hao Donglai, Shi Daxing, you guys

Where?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cry suddenly came from deep in the prison, and then a weak voice said: "Young Master, Young Master?"

Gu Qing quickly led the people inside.

When he walked to a cell door and saw Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing inside through the iron bars, Gu Qing's face suddenly turned livid, and his hands clenched into fists and trembled.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were lying on a pile of smelly straw, unable to move. They were covered in blood, and there were bloody whip marks. One of Shi Daxing's arms was hanging limply on his chest, his wrist and

The elbow formed a weird angle, and it was obviously broken. Hao Donglai was naked, and the fat meat on his chest that was once white and clean was covered with blood and flesh. There was a bloody patch on his thigh, and a piece of skin and flesh was cut off.

The lotus root was not completely separated from the thigh, and the lotus root was hanging on the straw with broken strands.

The shocking scene made Gu Qing angry.

Taking a deep breath, he ordered himself to calm down and asked the guards to open the cell door. Gu Qing quickly walked in and squatted in front of Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai, his eyes gradually turning red.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

The two of them were tortured to the point of losing their dignity. Hao Donglai was in a coma. Shi Daxing looked at Gu Qing, tears streaming down his face, and he smiled hard: "It won't be too late, Young Master, at least we are still alive..."

"

Glancing at the unconscious Hao Donglai, Shi Daxing did not forget to belittle him at this time. He smiled weakly and said: "Fat Hao is not very good anymore. He only finished his torture at dawn and passed out after being thrown into the cell. I am better than him."

"

"What did they ask you?"

"It seems that there are several groups of people in Chang'an City who are tracking us down regarding the gossip report. Fatty Hao and I couldn't trace the source, so they brought us in for questioning..."

There was a heartbreaking pain in his body. Shi Daxing took a deep breath, raised his eyes and stared at Gu Qing, and said slowly: "Young Master, Fatty Hao and I have nothing to do. Do you believe us?"

Gu Qing smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "I believe you are good guys. If you had done this, you wouldn't have so many injuries on your body."

"Heroes don't count. We are businessmen. The sage said that businessmen pursue profits and forget their righteousness, so they are born to be looked down upon by the world. But Fatty Hao and I don't want to be looked down upon by you. We hope that in your eyes, we are upright people.

"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "In my heart, you are upright men. From now on, you are friends and brothers that I can trust with my life."

Shi Daxing smiled with satisfaction and slowly closed his eyes. What he just said had exhausted his energy and he was already drowsy.

Gu Qing patted him and said: "Don't sleep yet, who tortured you like this?"

Shi Daxing tried his best to keep his eyelids open and said: "I don't know him, he must be the cell leader..."

Gu Qing's smile showed a touch of cruelty: "Old Shi, cheer up and watch carefully, I will help you get revenge."

Standing up and looking at the guards, Gu Qing said: "Do you know how to use torture?"

The leading bodyguard said: "I have never been tortured, but I can give it a try."

"Then please bring the prison boss here. According to the injuries of these two people, use them intact on the prison boss. Can you do it?"
