Chapter 584: Bring him to justice!

Late night
The pitch-black night enveloped every inch of land in Yijing. The streets that were bustling during the day had now become very quiet.

At this time, in the private room on the second floor of Baiweizhai, which should have been closed, Wang Xingqiu was yawning and observing the situation at the street entrance not far away with a telescope in his hand. Inside the street entrance was the small gate of Gu Mansion, so as long as he guarded this position, no one who walked out of the small gate of Gu Mansion would escape his eyes!
Since Zhao Sheng was arrested, under the powerful interrogation and psychological offensive of the Coordination Office, this man who had been involved in the black and white affairs of Yijing for decades soon told everything he knew. From Zhao Sheng's mouth, the Coordination Office obtained a lot of information about his illegal and criminal activities. Although Zhao Sheng had been arrested, his accomplices and protectors were still at large, so the Coordination Office and the Censorate joined forces to organize people to bring these people to justice.

Among these people, although Gu Shoude did not hold any official position, he was at the top of the criminal list because of the Gu family. Similarly, Gu Zhongshi was serving as the deputy governor of the Provincial Government and was one of the highest-ranking officials in the government. Therefore, Zhang Ren, a centurion from the Coordination Office who was in charge of investigating this case, specifically asked Huo San for instructions.

Because of Ye Mingsheng's order to investigate the case thoroughly, and the fact that Gu Shoude was involved in the case and there was irrefutable evidence, Huo San had nothing to worry about. He directly authorized Zhang Ren to arrest Gu Shoude. After getting Huo San's authorization, Zhang Ren immediately sent people to Yuyang to bring Gu Shoude back...

Although Zhang Ren had done this as soon as he was authorized, Gu Shoude's political sense was also very sharp. After hearing the news, he hesitated for a moment and ran over to seek protection from his father Gu Zhongshi.

Because Gu Zhongshi is the deputy governor and the representative of the Youyan local faction in the Fengwu Army regime, going directly to his house to arrest his son is likely to cause a political incident, which will make others mistakenly believe that Ye Mingsheng is going to take action against the local faction, thus causing very bad political impact and is not conducive to the current overall unity of the Fengwu Army.

Therefore, based on this consideration, seeing Gu Shoude escape into the Gu Mansion, Zhang Ren, who understood that the matter was of great importance, did not dare to act rashly. On the one hand, he suspended the mission of arresting Gu Shoude, and on the other hand, he arranged for his subordinate Wang Xingqiu to take people to watch outside the Gu Mansion, waiting for the moment when Gu Shoude escaped from the Gu Mansion.

Wang Xingqiu has been watching outside the Gu Mansion for three days. During these three days, the Gu Mansion remained calm without any disturbance. This made Wang Xingqiu wonder whether this guy Gu Shoude had escaped from the Gu Mansion!

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was the fifth watch when people were most tired. Wang Xingqiu, who had been hiding in the private room of Baiweizhai for several days, was dozing off. Just when he was about to give up, his subordinate suddenly spoke up:
'Brother Wang, look, someone is coming out of the street... "

Wang Xingqiu was immediately alerted by these words and subconsciously picked up the telescope in his hand to observe the situation. Because it was late at night, although Wang Xingqiu could see someone looking at something furtively at the street intersection, he could not see the other person's appearance at all.

"Brother Wang, shall we start?" the subordinate asked softly:

In response to his subordinates' questions, Wang Xingqiu waved his hand and said:
"Just be patient, get everyone up, we're going to have some fun tonight!"

"Yes!"

Baiweizhai is a restaurant on the surface, but in fact it is a secret base of the Coordination Office. The Gu Mansion is located in the Dongcheng District of Yijing. It has been the residence of Yijing's dignitaries for more than a hundred years. Therefore, after Ye Mingsheng took over Yijing, Dongcheng was regarded as the gathering place of the base camp of the Youyan local faction.

Because of this, Baiweizhai became a nail planted by the Coordination Office in the heart of the local faction, secretly monitoring their every move. And because of the Gu Shoude incident, the Coordination Office also activated this secret base, hiding more than a dozen capable personnel here, ready to arrest Gu Shoude at any time.

Under the gaze of Wang Xingqiu's telescope, the figure sneaking around at the intersection looked around, saw that there was no one around, and then retreated back into the street...

Seeing this scene, Wang Xingqiu's expression gradually became excited. He knew that his waiting in the past few days was not in vain. The big fish Gu Shoude was finally hooked. Because he did not catch Gu Shoude a few days ago, his boss Zhang Ren was criticized by the director. Now catching Gu Shoude would be avenge his previous shame!

Under Wang Xingqiu's order, more than a dozen members of the Coordination Office hidden in Baiweizhai were ready to attack at any time. After another cup of tea, under their gaze, three men reappeared at the street entrance. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, the height and figure of the leader among the three were very similar to Gu Shoude in the information!
Noticing this, Wang Xingqiu and others became excited. Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Xingqiu, waiting for his order, and they would take down Gu Shoude like hungry tigers. Although Wang Xingqiu was also very excited, he still remained calm at this time, did not give orders easily, and continued to watch Gu Shoude's movements.

Gu Shoude has just come out. If they act rashly, and if they fail to catch Gu Shoude and let him retreat, then if they want to catch him again, they can only report the matter to the Governor. If things go to that point, their Coordination Office will lose face, so they would rather go slow and be steady.

Seeing Gu Shoude walking quickly to the west, getting farther and farther away from the Gu Mansion, Wang Xingqiu waved his hand and whispered:
"Do it!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen elite personnel from the Coordination Office quickly left the house and disappeared into the darkness. At the same time, Gu Shoude, who was unaware that he had been targeted, was escorted by two servants and walked quickly towards the west city...
Although he has been at home these days, under the protection of his father Gu Zhongshi, Gu Shoude is also very uneasy. He has received news that the Coordination Office has begun to close the net. All industries related to Zhao Sheng have been confiscated, and people related to him have been arrested. Upon receiving this news, Gu Shoude is even more frightened. His only hope is that his father Gu Zhongshi can settle this matter for him.

Although Gu Zhongshi did not like his eldest son, Gu Shoude was his own flesh and blood after all. He could not sit idly by and watch Gu Shoude being thrown into jail, so he had been busy these days and even wanted to talk to Huo San, but Huo San refused to meet him.

Seeing that Gu Shoude would no longer be able to hide at home sooner or later, Gu Zhongshi could only plan to send him away to the countryside for a few days to avoid the limelight before considering future matters!

Because the city gates were only open during the day, it would be too conspicuous to go directly through the Gu Mansion, so Gu Shoude could only choose to go to a house of the Gu family in West City under the cover of night, wait there until dawn, and then leave the city through the west gate. Gu Zhongshi had already arranged everything outside the city.

Although Gu Shoude was also anxious to escape, his body had been drained by alcohol and sex over the years. After jogging for a while, he broke out in a sweat and became exhausted. His speed became slower and slower.

Seeing this, the two Gu family servants who were escorting Gu Shoude couldn't help but urge:

"Young Master, hurry up and go! The patrol team from the City Defense Bureau will be here soon..."

After hearing this, Gu Shoude, who was already in a very bad mood, became even more furious and said angrily:
"Are you two leaving so fast in a hurry to be reincarnated? Just let those bastards from the Coordination Office take me away. I am nothing in the eyes of the old man anyway. He only has Shouting as his son in his heart. He will be happy only if I die out there!"

Gu Shoude still had many complaints about Gu Zhongshi's arrangement for him to run away. In his opinion, what he did was not a big deal. He just relied on the family to make some money. As long as Gu Zhongshi was willing to work hard, he could completely settle this matter. He didn't have to run away at all. God knows how long it will take to come back. In those remote places where no birds shit, he must be very uncomfortable.

The two servants did not dare to retort to Gu Shoude's verbal abuse. They could only lower their heads and wait for Gu Shoude to catch up. At this time, Wang Xingqiu's men had already formed a circle and rushed towards Gu Shoude.

Since the two servants who escorted Gu Shoude were chosen by Gu Zhongshi, they were naturally not ordinary people. As soon as Wang Xingqiu and others rushed out, they were discovered by the two servants. They were surprised and immediately protected Gu Shoude behind them.

It has to be said that the two Gu family servants were very strong in boxing and kicking. Although Wang Xingqiu had seven or eight people on his side, they were unable to do anything to these two people for a while. However, two fists are no match for four hands, and with the presence of Gu Shoude, a burden, they were quickly knocked to the ground by Wang Xingqiu and the others.

“Good man! My father is the deputy governor, and my brother is a general. Don’t kill me! They can give you a lot of money!” Gu Shoude thought that Wang Xingqiu and others who suddenly rushed out were bandits who robbed houses, so he immediately introduced himself to make the other party realize his value...

Seeing Gu Shoude being so cowardly, Wang Xingqiu snorted with disdain and went straight up to Gu Shoude and kicked him to the ground. Although Wang Xingqiu did not use his full strength in this kick, because Gu Shoude was very weak, the pain still made Gu Shoude sweat and roll on the ground.

Taking out the arrest warrant from his pocket, Wang Xingqiu showed it to Gu Shoude and said:
"Look carefully. This is an arrest warrant issued by the Coordination Office. We will arrest you according to the law! We will also take the two people next to you away!"

Upon hearing that the other party was from the Coordination Office, Gu Shoude's eyes suddenly showed despair. Wang Xingqiu did not say much to him. He directly put hoods, handcuffs and shackles on him and the two servants, and escorted them to the prison of the Coordination Office.

Although it was already five o'clock in the morning in the Gu Mansion, Gu Zhongshi still couldn't sleep. He always felt that something was going to go wrong!

"Ugh!"

Gu Zhongshi let out a long sigh. After Gu Shoude leaves Yijing, he will go to see Ye Mingsheng to confess his guilt. Things have come to this point, and he can only take it one step at a time. He doesn't have any good solution, so he has to save Gu Shoude's life first.

Just as Gu Zhongshi was sighing, his housekeeper came over in a panic and reported:

"Master, something bad has happened! The eldest son was captured by the people from the Coordination Office as soon as he left the house!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Zhongshi stood up immediately. The next second his face turned extremely pale and it took him a long time to utter a word.

“Call Shouting…”

Yijing, Governor's Mansion

In a side room not far from Ye Mingsheng's study, Ye Mingsheng, who had just finished a sauna, was leaning back in an armchair, enjoying the massage from the Su sisters...

Sister Su Ruyan pinched Ye Mingsheng's shoulders, while sister Su Rumeng gently pounded Ye Mingsheng's thighs. Looking at the half-asleep Ye Mingsheng, Su Ruyan said in a tender voice:
"Sir, what do you think of my strength?"

Ye Mingsheng squinted his eyes and said calmly:
"Not bad!"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng's reply was very bland, Su Ruyan couldn't help but feel very disappointed. Ever since she knew that Ye Mingsheng liked massage, she had asked someone to teach her and had also been secretly in contact with him, just to give Ye Mingsheng a surprise. But now Ye Mingsheng's indifference was undoubtedly a huge blow to her confidence.

Although she was very disappointed, Su Rumeng came up with another plan when her first plan failed. She pretended to accidentally rub Ye Mingsheng's head with her budding little nipples.

Feeling Su Rumeng's actions, Ye Mingsheng knew her little thoughts, but he did not expose her and just enjoyed it quietly. After a cup of tea, he seemed to have thought of something. He opened his eyes and looked at Su Rumeng who was massaging his legs seriously and said:

"I heard from the old lady that you have been serving her very well and have been copying the scriptures very seriously. You have worked hard during this period!"

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Su Ruyan said softly:

"It is my blessing to be able to serve the old lady. I will do my best to make her satisfied..."

Seeing Su Ruyan's humble and compliant look, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly, then stood up and prepared to leave. Sisters Su Ruyan and Su Rumeng immediately bowed and watched Ye Mingsheng leave. Just as Ye Mingsheng was about to walk out of the room, he suddenly stopped and said lightly:

"You two sisters, stay here tonight!"
