Hu Chuanhai still couldn't believe his eyes. He asked in a doubtful tone: "The guards in the Hou Mansion are quite tight, much better than in the county government. Is it necessary for the Marquis to come over?"

Duanshui seemed a little impatient. She glared and said, "Magistrate Hu! Open your eyes and let me see clearly. This is the seal of the Governor! Why are you asking so much nonsense?"

Seeing that Duanshui was a little angry, Hu Chuanhai had no choice but to say: "Girl, calm down, I'll take care of it right away."

After returning to the court, Hu Chuanhai first felt sulky alone, and then led others to the Hou Mansion.

When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Hu Chuanhai directly handed over the piece of paper without saying a word.

Marquis Chengqi took it, looked at it carefully, and then said, "This is going to put me under house arrest."

Hu Chuanhai said with a gloomy look on his face: "Oh! They did this premeditatedly. You see, it only says it is to protect you, which makes it impossible for others to say anything."

Cheng Qihou put down the paper, took a long look outside, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I'm old."

These three short words actually made Hu Chuanhai feel an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

"When are you leaving?" Cheng Qihou suddenly asked.

Hu Chuanhai said: "Master Hou? Do you really plan to go?"

Marquis Chengqi smiled bitterly and said: "So what if I don't go? He has Zhao Weixian's seal on him. If I don't go, he will have reason to commit an incurable crime on me."

"Master Marquis, in my opinion, you should go to the capital now, go find the Holy Emperor, and let him make the decision for you! I don't believe it, a few soldiers and generals can still control you!"

Hu Chuanhai's words spoke his true feelings.

Cheng Qihou said: "No, no, look at the big seal on it. The traces have not faded yet. It was obviously just sealed yesterday. It is conceivable that Zhao Weixian might be nearby."

After hearing this, Hu Chuanhai was shocked and said: "This is impossible, Zhao Weixian is coming, how could I not know?"

"Maybe he paid a private visit incognito. Of course, it doesn't rule out that Zhao Weixian gave the seal directly to that woman. If that was the case, it would be even more troublesome. If he were here, I would be better off. After all, we are considered

I know her, but if he wasn't here, that woman wouldn't betray me. People like her won't be taken seriously by anyone except those who know who her master is."

After hearing this, Hu Chuanhai couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, after all, you are in the upper echelons. You are really good at judging people and things."

"Without a decree, I cannot go to Beijing to meet the Holy See at will. To say the least, even if the Holy See sees that I am old and cannot bear punishment, what can I say when I see the Holy See? I said Zhao Weixian wants to put me under house arrest? But that's not what they said.

They said they wanted to protect me, and it was written in black and white, who do you think the Holy Spirit trusted?"

What Cheng Qihou said was true. Hu Chuanhai thought about it and found that indeed, even if he went to Beijing, it would be of no use.

"Don't worry. I'm just going to stay with you for a few days. Just go." Cheng Qihou sighed and said helplessly.

"Master Marquis, I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried that after you go, you won't be able to come out for a while," Hu Chuanhai said.

"If you can't get out, you can't get out, so what? Can't you afford to support an old man like me?"

Even at this time, Marquis Chengqi still didn't feel too anxious or anxious. Hu Chuanhai even felt that Marquis Chengqi didn't take it seriously at all.

"Okay, since the Marquis said so, let's go." Hu Chuanhai stood up and walked outside first.

Then, the Marquis of Chengqi and the servants and guards in the mansion explained that he would accompany the magistrate for a few days and asked them to take care of the house.

After arriving at the county government office, Duanshui was waiting for him. After a few casual greetings, Duanshui asked someone to take Marquis Chengqi to his residence, which was a side room in the backyard that was originally used for servants.

When Marquis Chengqi entered the house and took a look, he smiled bitterly. He was not afraid of hardship, but was just worried about other things.

Then, Duanshui found a group of people from nowhere and asked them to guard around the backyard all night. For a time, the backyard of the county government office became a forbidden area, and no other people were allowed to approach.

Marquis Chengqi is in trouble here, but Chi Zhongtian doesn't know it yet, because at this moment, he is sitting in a small room in Huilan Restaurant, and he is also worried.

The two servants who lived here had never come out since they entered. After eating in the room, they either slept or chatted together.

Since you can't get what you want by just waiting to see what happens, you can only take the initiative.

After thinking about it, Chi Zhongtian walked out and soon brought someone back.

This person was a guard that Chi Zhongtian specially borrowed from Marquis Chengqi. He was smart, capable, and had a good memory.

"According to what I said, make sure you don't make any mistakes." Chi Zhongtian warned.

The guard nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chi, I guarantee there won't be any problems!"

After saying that, the guard simply tidied himself up and then walked out alone.

After arriving at a room on the east side of the second floor, he knocked on the door.

Soon, a voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

The guard replied: "I'm from the Yamen."

After hearing this, there was no sound inside for an instant. Just when the guard felt strange and was about to continue knocking on the door, the door was suddenly opened.

Sun Wu glanced around and asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking for me?"

The guard whispered as Chi Zhongtian had arranged in advance: "Stop pretending, my master asked me to ask you, has there been any movement in your garden in the past two days?"

When Sun Wu heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you are saying. What kind of garden?"

Although he tried his best to disguise himself, the guard could tell at a glance that there was definitely something wrong with this man.

The reason why he said he was from the Yamen at the beginning was to test it out. It would be normal behavior if the door did not open after being pushed and blocked. But if someone like him opened the door without asking, it would be weird to say that there was no problem.

"Haha, let me tell you, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so hurry up and say it, I'm still waiting to go back to deliver the work. The girl has a bad temper these days!"

When he said the word "girl", Sun Wu seemed to be relieved and said: "I was scared to death. Fortunately, my companion fell asleep, otherwise I would have been doomed. How did you know

I'm here?"

The guard said disdainfully, "In Shezhou City, we can know whoever we want to know!"
