"Filial piety? You and I are not relatives, so how can we be filial?" Guo Xun asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Pretend! Pretend it for me!

"Guo Shijun is a herdsman of the Son of Heaven. To us, the head of Guizhou, he is a parent and official. Isn't it a natural thing for children to show filial piety to their parents?"

"Ah? Hahaha! Interesting!" Guo Xun closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened his eyes and said angrily, "Has anyone slandered me in your ears? I have always been honest and never accepted bribes. Let's go!"

"

....

Let’s talk about why every official likes to say that he is an upright official. If they were all upright officials, would those corrupt officials who are caught every year be conjured up by ghosts?

"Your Majesty has misunderstood!" Ma Qiang said with a smile, "My filial piety is just a matter of course. In fact, it is to solve the problem of your Majesty's life. Yesterday, I looked at the sky at night and saw a shooting star falling in the northeast.

After a quick calculation, it turns out that the person who responded is exactly the envoy, who is in trouble!"

"What did you say?"

"Bold!" A warrior standing behind Guo Xun pulled out half of his sword and glared at Ma Qiang fiercely.

"Moreover, this disaster shows that there is a river of blood, and I am afraid that the whole family will suffer because of it!" Ma Qiang didn't care about the warrior. Are you kidding me? Is it really nice to see Xian Yufu come in? After all, he is a second-rate general, right?

, What's more, although I don't know martial arts, I still have a lot of strength after purging my essence and marrow. The most important thing is that the gift box I brought contains a pistol. Even in the worst case, I can still kidnap Guo Xun and leave.

"Ma Qiang! If you don't make it clear today, this Governor's Mansion will be your burial place!" Guo Xun's beard stood up in anger. He couldn't remember how long it had been since anyone had dared to say this.

"After calculation, I believe that the beginning of this difficulty should be four hundred steps away from this time. The difficulty is in the northwest, so you can go and have a look."

"Four hundred steps? Northwest...not good!"

Guo Xun stood up suddenly, rushed out of the door and ran out. The warrior hurriedly followed, and suddenly only Ma Qiang and two maids were left in the room.

"Ahem, ladies, I see you are quite tired, why don't you take a rest?"

This is not teasing, it’s just to see someone working hard with a big fan. After all, who is so boring and likes to have two people carrying two big fans to fan behind? Is a water-powered fan so difficult?

While adjusting and talking to the two young ladies, Ma Qiang took out the pistol from the gift box that Xian Yufu brought. Xian Yufu looked at the pistol in Ma Qiang's hand curiously, not knowing what it was.

"Ah!!! How dare you, thief!!!"

Faintly, a loud shout came. Ma Qiang turned around and gave a thumbs up to Xian Yufu and said, "This Guo Shijun is awesome. You must have practiced this tone."

Xian Yufu's mouth twitched slightly. Of course he also knew where it was four hundred steps northwest of here. It was the place he told Ma Qiang yesterday.

Guo Xun rushed in like the wind, holding a sword in his hand and was about to pounce on Ma Qiang, but seeing Ma Qiang's half-smiling expression, he held it back.

"Ma...Master Ma! You...have done a good job!"

"My lord, do you want to capture this officer and put him in prison and torture him?" the warrior asked Ma Qiang angrily.

"Your Majesty, it seems that your difficulty has begun, but I don't know whether you want to solve it or continue it?"

What are corrupt officials afraid of? Firstly, they are afraid of losing their official position, and secondly, they are afraid of losing their money.

Some corrupt officials can abandon their wives and children, but the only one they cannot abandon is this official, because every corrupt official knows very well that as long as he loses his official position, he may lose his life next.

Once the imperial court learns about the loss of the governor's seal, Guo Xun, who was originally a scum in the eyes of the nobles, will probably be torn into pieces soon.

What? Torture Ma Qiang?

That would mean breaking up. What if torture can't come out? And looking at Xian Yufu behind Ma Qiang, Guo Xun suddenly remembered that this man seemed to be the number one warrior in the governor's office...

Don't blame him, he was only thinking about how to make money at that time, and he really can't remember such things.

"How to solve the problem?"

Ma Qiang looked at the warriors behind Guo Xun and the sergeants outside.

"Get out of here!"

People swarm like fish.

"It's you?"

"It's not me. Your place is heavily guarded."

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

"Is it important?"

"What do you want?"

"I only pay court taxes."

Guo Xun only felt that he had heard something wrong. Is this a big deal just for some money?

"I just want to make some money honestly. If Guo Shijun is willing to be friends with me, I will also help Guo Shijun in the future."

With that said, Ma Qiang took out a piece of silk book and handed it to Guo Xun and said, "Not only will we pay taxes to the court on our own every month, but we will also prepare an additional 50,000 yuan every month for the envoy to have some drinks. Liu Shijun then

There will also be 50,000 yuan, but Guo Shijun will have to help Liu Shijun accept the money."

100,000 yuan a month, when the Yellow Turban Uprising took place, it would only cost over a million yuan. This money was actually quite a lot, and could buy thousands of pieces of silk.

Guo Xun took a breath and took the silk book. There was a simple message written on it.

"Can this difficulty be solved?"

"Explainable!"

"good!"

Taking the silk book that Guo Xun had fingerprinted, Ma Qiang said with a smile, "After one day, the solution to the problem will naturally return to where it belongs, so that you can feel at ease."

"There are sergeants guarding there, aren't you afraid?"

"It doesn't matter, I know how to move the five ghosts. If you don't go back after one day, you can come to me."

"Five ghosts transporting?" Guo Xun was a little dazed hearing this strange name.

Seeing Ma Qiang and the two men strutting away gradually disappearing from sight, Guo Xun slammed the bowl that Ma Qiang drank from just now to the ground.

"Lord!"

"Go, send me five hundred sergeants to surround my study. I don't believe we can't catch this little thief!"

That night, hundreds of soldiers were waiting outside Guo Xun's study, with their swords unsheathed and arrows loaded on their bows. Guo Xun himself was waiting outside the house wearing battle armor and holding a sword in his hand.

"who!"

"Meow~"

"Tch, it's a cat. Keep an eye on me. No one is allowed in or out of this room."

The night passed and no one showed up. Only Guo Xun had two dark circles on his eyes.

"open the door!"

Guo Xun felt something was wrong and shouted.

The door was suddenly opened, and something wrapped in brocade cloth was placed on the ground. Guo Xun took a breath when he saw it.

He was very familiar with this cloth bag. He could see it almost every day. Guo Xun picked it up and opened it gently, and a seal appeared in front of him.

"How is that possible??" Guo Xun felt a slight chill running down his spine. Five hundred sergeants were guarding this place. Just in case, he even cut down the trees. Could it be that there was some tunnel?

Guo Xun immediately ordered all the floors to be pried open, but after working for a long time, there was only a piece of loess, and there was no tunnel anywhere.

"Five ghosts are moving... ghosts... it's ghosts..." Guo Xun felt like the world was spinning and he fainted to the ground.
