Chapter 577: People changed

What Boss Chen said makes sense. If he won’t deal with this matter right now, and this dead girl said a few words in front of Meng Nan in the future. When he goes to the capital, how will he make a good connection with the Meng Family?

Having made up his mind, Gu Fengkang immediately put on a stern face and said to his men behind him: “Come, tie Master Qian and Madame Qian, and then put them in prison for trial.”

Gu Pinghui’s face immediately turned pale: “Fengkang, what are you saying? You want to tie me? You’re going to tie me up? I am your sister!”

Gu Fengkang didn’t look at her, he continued to say with a stern face: “Miss Bai is right. Even a prince can be guilty of the same crime of common people. This is the state law of the Chu Country. If I condone you today, how can I face the people of Qingyuan? How will I face the emperor?”

“The emperor entrusted the Qingyuan people to me. This is a great honor. How can I not live up to the emperor’s expectation, let alone the high hopes of the Qingyuan people.”

After hearing those words, even Bai Zhi couldn’t help but want to cry. Unfortunately, she had already seen his true face, so she was not touched.

“Take them away!”

Gu Pinghui and Qian Zhongyuan were tied and taken away together. Just like how Bai Zhi came, but the people involved by was changed.

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Gu Daren is really the master of Qingyuan. This great act, I, Bai Zhi cannot help but admire.”

Gu Fengkang smiled unnaturally. His heart was filled with anger, but he had no other choice but to smile.

Bai Zhi continued to say: “Today, I have become enemies with Master Qian and Madame Qian. Master Qian, for some minor things before, he decided to take away my life. Now that this thing happened, I don’t know how he will retaliate against me. I will not beat around the bush. If I encounter something like a.s.sa.s.sination or the like, there is no way not to doubt Master Qian. What I am saying, Gu Daren understand, right?”

Gu Fengkang’s face became more and more ugly, and it’s almost impossible to sustain the stiff smile on his face.

“Understand, of course, I understand!”

In the Bai Family

Since Bai Erzhu decided not to let the first branch take advantage of them, these days, the first branch has been living a bitter life. They can’t borrow something to eat, nor rob their food. Bai Erzhu guarded their rations very tightly, and he doesn’t give them food.

If things continue like this, their family will starve to death.

So Bai Dazhu thought of the grains borrowed by Mrs. Liu’s family before. It has been a while, but they haven’t return it. He knew that the Liu Family has no one to rely on, but now, he has no food to eat, why should he let the Liu Family take advantage of him?

So Bai Dazhu rushed to the Liu family and forced them to return their food.

How can the Liu Family return the grains when they only have gra.s.sroots to eat in their pot this time? They can only eat gra.s.sroots to keep their lives. So where will they get grains to return to him?

Bai Dazhu was not convinced and caused a lot of trouble at the Liu Family’s house. Later, when he saw the bra.s.s hairpin worn by Old lady Liu, he felt like it can be sold for a few pieces of money so he took it away.

Old Lady Liu cannot afford to be separated from it and almost lose her breath, but Bai Dazhu ignored her and turned around to leave.

He took the hairpin and went directly to the p.a.w.nshop in the town. He went to the same p.a.w.nshop where they sold the jade pendant. There were so many people in the p.a.w.nshop that he had to wait in line. He remained standing in an inconspicuous corner of the p.a.w.nshop.

After sending away the guest, the two p.a.w.nshop staff, who were close to him, chatted.
