In the evening, the news that Gu Chan was imprisoned by the county magistrate spread throughout Zhongyuan City.

The most anxious people were the people in Zhongyuan Medical Clinic and Shen Sanfeng.

On the contrary, those who had a grudge against Gu Chan were extremely happy.

In the backyard of Xu's house.

At this time, Xu Renjie was lying on the recliner in the study, grinning from ear to ear with joy.

The subordinate standing beside him said, "Master, judging from this, I'm afraid Gu Chan is doomed this time!"

"This bastard kicked me in the vitals and made me still weak now. It's better if Zheng Shi kills him first, so I don't have to do it myself." Xu Renjie said happily.

"What about the young master who burned the treasure house?" asked the subordinate.

The smile on Xu Renjie's face disappeared instantly. He glared at his men and shouted angrily, "You must not tell anyone about this, or I will kill you. My mother's temper is well known to everyone in the Xu family. If she finds out that it was Gu Chan who burned the treasure house, or that I hired assassins to bring them into the Xu family, she will have to deal with me first."

"Yes, young master." The subordinate responded respectfully.

"Go, continue to secretly monitor the county government office, and report to me immediately if there is any movement." Xu Renjie waved his hand and gave the order.

The men nodded and left quickly.

Xu Renjie crossed his legs and laughed triumphantly.

At this moment, he seemed to have already seen the tragic scene of Gu Chan being killed by Zheng Shixian.

At the Zhongyuan Medical Clinic in the refugee area.

Just when Xu Renjie was feeling proud, Ouyang Wan'er and others were extremely anxious.

Zhang Wanshan paced back and forth in the lobby, extremely worried.

Zhou Dachuan sat aside and sighed, "Okay, stop turning around. Even if you worry yourself to death, Gu Chan still can't get out of the county government. The only thing we can do now is to take care of the clinic and live a good life first."

"So we're just going to watch him being imprisoned and we can't do anything to help him?" Zhang Wanshan said, spreading his hands.

"Still helping! Especially at times like this, the better we should not make things worse for him." Zhou Dachuan said very rationally.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the clinic agreed with him and started to join in his praise.

Only Ouyang Wan'er was sitting alone in the first seat, secretly wiping away tears.

Ma Zheng couldn't bear to watch, so he quickly walked over to her and comforted her, "Sister Wan'er, don't cry. The boss is a lucky man, and he will be fine."

"I feel so guilty. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have looked at him with a stern face when he came to the tailor shop this afternoon. Now he's been imprisoned, and I don't know when I can see him again." Ouyang Wan'er cried as she spoke, extremely sad.

Seeing this, everyone began to feel uncomfortable as well.

At this time, a carriage drove up and stopped outside the clinic. Shen Sanfeng got out of the carriage and walked quickly into the clinic.

Ouyang Wan'er quickly wiped away her tears and walked forward to ask, "Mr. Shen, what's the situation?"

"Don't worry, I sent someone to investigate. Zheng Shixian only temporarily imprisoned Gu Chan and Ding Sheng in the west courtyard of the county government office. Their lives are not in danger. Moreover, after dark, Zheng Shixian sent someone to deliver a memorial and rushed to Kyoto at an urgent speed of 800 miles." Shen Sanfeng said.

"This is strange. The emperor wants to kill Ding Sheng. What does it have to do with my husband? Ding Sheng insists on dragging him into this. I really don't understand." Ouyang Wan'er said with a stiff face.

Not only did she not understand, but everyone in the clinic, except Ma Zheng, did not understand.

Shen Sanfeng noticed that something was wrong with Ma Zheng, stared at him and said, "Ma Zheng, what's going on?"

"Uh... I think it might be because the boss was controlled by the Rat Fairy in Wuheng County on the border before, so Ding Sheng thought that dragging her into the water could save his life!" Ma Zheng said with evasive eyes.

Regarding the matter of the Tianji Pavilion token, he had promised Gu Chan not to spread it to the outside world, so he found the most reasonable excuse now.

Shen Sanfeng always felt that Ma Zheng was hiding something and was not telling the truth, but he also knew that since Ma Zheng was unwilling to speak, it was useless to force him, so he did not press the issue any further. He just called Wei Xing over and said, "Well, I'll have to trouble you to go to the county government office tonight and secretly ask Gu Chan for clarification. Now you can only think of countermeasures if you know the specific situation on his side."

"Okay, then Mr. Shen, you go back first! I sneaked into the county government office again at night yesterday." Wei Xing nodded.

After Shen Sanfeng explained these things, he didn't stay for long and immediately got on the carriage and left.

After he left, everyone in the clinic calmed down temporarily and went about their own business.

After midnight, Wei Xing changed into Batman's black clothes, put on a black cape, and wore a black mask. He quietly left the clinic and rushed to the county government.

More than an hour later.

Just when Wei Xing was about to arrive at the county government office, he was in the main room in the west courtyard behind the government office.

At this moment, Ding Sheng was completely awake and kept pacing back and forth in front of the bed.

Gu Chan was lying on the bed, and he was shaking her so much that she couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she tilted her head and yelled, "Are you sick? Why are you shaking in front of the bed so late at night?"

"Oh, Lord Gu! How can you still sleep? Aren't you worried that the emperor will order our death?" Ding Sheng said with a bitter face.

"Hmph! If I have to kill someone, I'd rather kill you. Why can't I kill me?" Gu Chan said indifferently.

Ding Sheng sat down in front of the bed, stared at Gu Chan and sneered, "Why are you still pretending with me? Do you think I don't know that the Tianji Order is not yours?"

Gu Chan sat up from the bed and asked, "Did you know this a long time ago?"

"Nonsense, the first time you took it out to force me to admit my defeat in the Wuheng County government office, I sent people to investigate. The Tianji Token in your hand belongs to Lord Renyang of the Tianji Pavilion. He was killed by a master of the enemy army, and you happened to run into him, so you got this token, right?" Ding Sheng said with a strange smile.

"Damn it! Damn it, I knew you were not a good person. You really dragged me into this on purpose, just to trick me, right? You are so heartless! Back then in Wuheng County, I saved your life. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" Gu Chan was so angry that she pointed at Ding Sheng and cursed him.

When she was in court in the afternoon, she still had some hope, thinking that Ding Sheng thought she was a spy from the Tianji Pavilion and that dragging her into the water would save her life.

But now she finally understood how cunning this bastard was!

Ding Sheng immediately said with a bitter face, "Then I have no choice! If I use this trick, I can at least live a little longer, but if I don't use it, I will be beheaded tomorrow. If it were you, you would definitely do the same, right?"

"Fuck you, I'm going to beat you to death, you fat bastard." Gu Chan was furious.

After scolding him, she flew off the bed, threw Ding Sheng to the ground, and beat him up on the spot.

Ding Sheng was beaten so hard that he huddled on the ground screaming in agony, without even the chance to fight back.
