Chapter 1841: I Have the Constitution of ConanEditor: Henyee Translations
Yang Liu and Gu Dajiang didn’t persuade them anymore. After the family finished eating, they chatted until late at night.
It was only when Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan returned from the county office that everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Although the Yang family’s courtyard was not big, it still had five to six rooms. After all, the dowry that was prepared for Yang Liu back then would not be small.
The few of them stayed at the Yang family’s house tonight. Even Tong Shuitao and Shao Wu stayed there. Shao Wen continued to stay at the medical center to take care of Yang He.
Many things had happened today, but Yunshu, Keke, and the other children fell asleep very quickly.
Yang Liu and Gu Dajiang were relieved and soon fell asleep.
Only Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong suddenly opened their eyes when it was time.
"It’s about time. Let’s go."
"Yeah."
Gu Yundong took out two sets of black night clothes and the two of them quickly changed. Then, they quietly opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
Then, she heard a faint sound coming from the main house. It was Yang Zhifu and Old Madam Yang talking in a low voice.
The two of them looked at each other. Gu Yundong lowered his voice. "Grandpa and Grandma are quite energetic."
"Let’s keep it down."
Gu Yundong nodded, then silently climbed over the courtyard wall and quickly left the courtyard.
The street was quiet and there was no one. Only the moonlight above their heads was exceptionally bright, as if it was deliberately pointing them in the right direction.
Not long after, the two of them stopped at the entrance of the county office.
Gu Yundong looked up at the plaque above his head and could not help but sigh. "I think I might have the physique of Conan."
"What is Conan?" Shao Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her suspiciously.
Gu Yundong’s expression did not change. "I mean, I have the physique to identify corrupt officials. I meet such people wherever I go. I’m really... very difficult. I don’t know if I’m unlucky or they’re unlucky."
When they were eating with County Magistrate Mao, they had tried to find out each other’s background.
However, Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were both old foxes and had seen many people. They usually interacted with people like Qin Wenzheng and had experience saying what they should say and avoiding what they should not.
As for County Magistrate Mao, he thought that he was cautious, but he was still inexperienced and exposed himself after a few more words.
Gu Yundong did not expect that the county magistrate was actually Marquis Pingnan’s man.
It was good. Marquis Pingnan had been dealt with. The County Magistrate Mao, who used Marquis Pingnan as his backer, was not a good person either.
Therefore, they sneaked into the government office at night to look for evidence of his relationship with Marquis Pingnan.
They had no choice. After tonight, the county magistrate would definitely send someone to investigate Gu Yundong’s background. Once he did, the matter at the Xuanhe Prefecture would definitely be exposed. The news of Marquis Pingnan being captured by Yi Zilan had yet to reach Anyi County, so the county magistrate was not prepared.
However, when he heard the news, he would definitely destroy the evidence.
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan... were forced into a corner.
"What does running into corrupt officials have to do with you?" Shao Qingyuan shook his head and laughed. "During the previous emperor’s reign, many corrupt officials were promoted. Even those upright officials didn’t dare to appear. Just look at the prefecture magistrate Dai."
Was the prefecture magistrate capable? Yes.
However, hadn’t he done nothing in the past few years? It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but he didn’t dare to.
How many loyal ministers and generals had the late emperor killed when he heard the slander?
Prefecture magistrate Dai did not want to be a capital official at all. It was quite good for him to be a prefecture magistrate in the Xuanhe Prefecture. He was mediocre and had to seek some welfare for the people.
