Chapter 1239: Human or ghost
The others were confused and didn't know what was going on. Why did the army surround the Chen family? You have to know that the Chen family has high-ranking officials in the court.
"Oh, you don't know yet. Have you forgotten the fire at the escort agency that night? It is said that General Xu's son lived there. The Chen family was so bold that they burned General Xu's son to death. The father and son first arrested him and put him in jail, and then simply set him on fire. Tell me, who else would the Xu family army go after if not him?"
"The Chen family is too bold. They even dared to kill General Xu's son. General Xu is a good man. I think the Chen family deserves it. So which son of his was killed?"
"I heard it was the fourth son, the upright judge who stood up for the common people in Huguang. He was burned to ashes, not even a bone was left. I heard that there were screams all night long in the house. It was so pitiful. People couldn't even find a body. Poor General Xu had to send off his son. I heard that he loved this son the most. What a pity!"
After saying this, everyone understood that it was General Xu's favorite son who was killed, and this revenge must be avenged.
And there are those who are smart and know the whole story. Everyone knows the character of the fat man from the Chen family. The son of the Xu family is not even the one at fault. He suffered this unexpected disaster in vain. God is blind.
Zhou Guo listened in the back without saying anything for a long time. She was dead, if she was alive now, would it be considered as pretending to be dead?
When the relatives and old friends of the Chen family saw this chilling scene, they shrank their necks and retreated. This was a real knife or a real gun. If it was stabbed, they would be dead. Who would dare to take the risk?
The entire Chen family was thrown into prison, and all the servants were sold.
The whole family was locked up in the prison cell of the government office, crying and wailing. They had connections in the capital, so how could they dare to do this to them?
The people in other cells nearby were stunned when they saw this family. They didn't understand how the Chen family got in.
Then they were happy. Now that the Chen family had come in, they could go out, right?
It was all the Chen family's fault that they were able to come in. These were all random charges pinned on them.
After all the Chen family members who had suggested and taken action to cause this disaster were sent to prison, Zhou Guo took people to see them.
She stepped into the cell step by step wearing a big red fox cloak, looking out of place in the cell.
This cloak was made a few years ago and was her first and most valuable piece of clothing. In order to prevent it from getting damaged, her mother brought it to her. After all, the cloak can be worn by both men and women.
She walked into the cell where the Chen family father and son were imprisoned with a smile and asked, "How is it? I'm sure you guys like the life here very much. You like to lock people up here at any time.
This cell is the back garden of your Chen family. You should be happy to stay in the back garden every day. There is food and drink in this cell, and you don’t have to do anything. How great is that.”
When the Chen family saw her, they were shocked as if they had seen a ghost and swarmed into a corner in panic.
Fatty Chen trembled and said, "You, you, are you a human or a ghost?"
Zhou Guo said: "Of course I am a human being. I really underestimated you. Under such circumstances, your father was able to steal you out of the house and burn us all. If I hadn't had some foresight, I would have become a wronged soul in the underworld."
When they heard that she was not a ghost, everyone was no longer afraid.
It was the first time that the old lady of the Chen family saw her. She said in a cold voice, "Let me tell you, my eldest son and second son are not vegetarians. They are appointed as assistant ministers of the Ministry of Personnel. If this gets to their ears, they will definitely not let you go."
Zhou Guo looked at her. He had no idea how old she was. She had white hair, wrinkles all over her face, lips so thin that only a layer of skin was left. Her eyes were long and thin, and she looked very mean.
She said, "Old lady, I don't blame you. I'm afraid you have never left the Chen family's gate in your life, so you are naturally very stupid. I just came to see you today. If you have anything to say, just say it. I won't come here later."
The old lady said sternly: "My eldest son and second son are in the capital, and they will definitely not let you go!"
Zhou Guo sighed. Logically speaking, an old lady from such a family should be very knowledgeable. Why did she seem to be even less intelligent than the old lady from the farming family? Even her grandmother was much wiser than her.
I'm afraid that you've eaten too much good stuff and made your brain lazy.
Mr. Chen on the side said, "You don't have any evidence at all. Why did you arrest us? What did we do wrong? If you can't produce evidence, then you are making a false accusation. The people of Jinling City will not agree to it, and the people of the world will not allow you to do this."
I can say a few interesting things.
Zhou Guo said: "There is a reason to arrest you. Everyone knows that your son and I have a grudge. The house I lived in was burned down overnight. Your family was taken as suspects and was thrown into prison. As for what happened later..."
She smiled and said, "I don't know if you have heard about my deeds in Huguang. It doesn't matter if you haven't heard about it. I will tell you."
Pointing at the people in other cells, he said, "Look at these people. They were all sent here by your son under various pretexts. Your family has many relatives and old friends in Jinling, but you must have made many enemies over the years. Now is the time for these people to take revenge. Then, won't your family be charged with crimes?"
Mr. Chen had heard of it a little, but he couldn't remember it. Huguang was so far away from them, and he never thought that one day this would happen to him.
After hearing this, he was a little panicked, but still said: "Don't forget, this world is still your Xu family's. The court has not fallen, and my Chen family still has a say in Jinling. Do you think that if you say this, everyone will dare to do it?"
Fatty Chen said, "Yes, Dad, this guy is talking nonsense. He has no ability at all. He is just trying to scare us."
Zhou Guo looked around and pointed at a person in a cell and said, "Zhang Yizhu, if you had the chance, would you go to the government office to sue them and get the compensation you deserve?"
Zhang Yizhu was suddenly called out, his eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "I can, sir, can we really do it?"
As long as he can get out, he is willing to do anything.
Zhou Guo asked back: "Why not? We are all the same. We are all raised by our parents. They can send you here. Can't you seek justice for yourself?"
"I can do it too!"
"Sir, count me in!"
"And I!"
……
The people in the cell stood up one after another. They had realized that if they had offended this young master, the Chen family would never be able to get out of this situation.
The Chen family members looked at the increasing number of people and panicked, "You, you, you, you dare!"
Zhou Guo said calmly: "Why not? You are the ones who are imprisoned now. They will be released soon."
After saying that, she turned around and left. It smelled quite strong in here and she really shouldn't have worn that dress out.
