Chapter 22 Gu Pao Pao
Back in Xiaogushan, Gu Zuo locked himself in the room, had no energy to eat, and even drank little water.
Another early morning came, and Gu Zuo finally got up and packed his luggage. He put the mahogany sword, positioning compass and copper bell into a bamboo basket, and took away all the remaining copper coins, which were less than a hundred copper coins...
Suddenly he thought of Chen Jiu and Ji Bantou. He wondered if they had any spare money with them. He hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to go back. He opened the firewood door and walked out. Looking back at the words "Huaixian Pavilion" on the horizontal plaque, Gu Zuo sighed.
After taking a breath, he turned around and went down the mountain.
He thought clearly that there was no way to explain what happened to Bantou Ji. If he really wanted to meet the official, even if the civet cat he finally confessed to and sent to the He family was a fake, so Bantou Ji wanted to kill Chen Liu and Jiang Qi to silence them, that would be
To no avail - Gu Zuo couldn't prove that it was Team Leader Ji who sent the cat, and the real people who sent the cat were Chen Liu and Jiang Qi.
Furthermore, behind Bantou Ji is Dong Xianwei. Dongxianwei is one of the "three giants" in Shanyin County officialdom. He is divided into six departments. How can Gu Zuo defeat Dongxianwei? Not to mention that there is no one in front of him.
There was no evidence, even if there was real evidence, Gu Zuo didn't have the guts to report it to the official. He didn't dare to expect that the Qingtian Master in Shanyin County could make decisions for him, a little bastard.
It is conceivable that the death of Bantou Ji will definitely cause an uproar in Shanyin County. Gu Zuo doesn't know if there are capable people in the county's criminal cao, the county's law department, or if other sects and monasteries have the ability to trace him.
But he guessed that it probably couldn't be concealed. Besides, who could guarantee that when Bantou Ji went out, he wouldn't leave a tail behind with a family member like Chen Liu told Chen Jiu?
It is better to run away than to sit there and wait for death.
As for the wanted document that Shanyin County may issue for sea arrest, he has no time to worry about it. Just let him be wanted. While no one knows about it at the moment, run out a hundred miles more and the hope of survival will increase. If he can
If he escapes from Kuaiji County, he is 60% sure that he will not be caught. If he can leave Jiangdong, the sky is high and the birds can fly.
He is no longer the Gu Zuo he was a year ago. He is now a cultivator, and things like starving to death in the Middle Way should have nothing to do with him. Maybe running to southern Xinjiang is a good choice. It is a newly developed land, and everything must be done.
It will all be messy.
Gu Zuo felt guilty. When he went down the mountain, he stared at the mountain road ahead with fear, fearing that he would meet officials or monks. When he reached the bank of Ruoye River, he became even more nervous.
His plan was to cross Ruoye River, escape from Kuaiji County, and pass through Hangzhou, so that he could take the shortest distance to Jiangnan West Road.
Gu Zuo felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have wasted a whole day in the house. Because of this day's delay, Bantou Ji's disappearance might have been discovered. If Bantou Ji had left any instructions to his family or subordinates before,
Even his body has been discovered by now.
After finding a shallow place to cross the other bank, Gu Zuo headed west. As long as he climbed over the two hills in front, he would have left the bustling place of Shanyin County and walked along the remote place.
Avoid the eyes of most people.
But as soon as he reached the foot of Erdao Post, he saw someone on the post from a distance.
This man had a square scarf on his head and a weapon wrapped around his head. Looking at his clothes and demeanor, Gu Zuo knew he was a monk, but he didn't know the depth of his cultivation. He couldn't see his appearance clearly at a rough glance, but Gu Zuo was sure.
, I have never seen him before.
The monk stopped on the second post and was looking around, as if he was looking for someone.
Gu Zuo's heart immediately jumped wildly, and he slowly stopped, hesitating whether to continue moving forward or to retreat decisively.
While he was hesitating, two more figures appeared on the post. They were each wearing black uniforms and sabers hanging on their waists. They were dressed in typical public attire. They were the sharp swordsmen who were in charge of the county yamen prison.
Jibantou is the team leader of all the yamen servants in the county's six yamen, including the arrest squad that leads the punishment cao. The detectives obey the punishment cao's orders when doing work, but they are also ordered by the punishment cao on issues such as salary, salary, and time off.
Team Leader Ji is a subordinate of Team Leader Ji. These two were also present when the Hengyi Pavilion was raided that day. They were the closest confidants of Team Leader Ji. Their appearance made Gu Zuo break into a cold sweat.
Gu Zuo hesitated at the foot of the hill, and there was a slight difference between him and the people passing by in twos and threes. This difference immediately attracted the attention of several people on the hill. A policeman pointed at Gu Zuo and said something to the monk, then
The monk got off the second post and went straight to Gu Zuo, with the two detectives following closely behind him.
Gu Zuo resisted and did not move, feeling somewhat lucky in his heart. Unexpectedly, when the other party was approaching, one of the detectives opened his mouth and asked, "Gu Zuo, where is Team Leader Ji?"
Gu Zuo's scalp suddenly exploded, and he turned around and ran away. The soul-searching Qi in his Dantian sea filled his feet and fled towards the hills not far away on the right.
He is a Qi Refiner who has absorbed twelve spiritual stones. When running with all his strength, he can run much faster than ordinary people. It is difficult for ordinary catchers to catch up with him. Even a Qi Refiner cannot cover a distance of several dozen feet.
It's easy to catch up. Although the hills over there are not high, the woods are dense. As long as you get in, you have a chance to escape.
The two detectives were stunned, slowed down, and looked at Gu Zuo's escaping figure. One of them murmured: "Why is he running?"
The monk sneered: "There is a ghost in his heart, maybe he is that accomplice!" After saying that, he stood up from the ground and landed on Gu Zuo's head like a falcon. When he turned around, the edge of his palm swept over Gu Zuo.
Zuo's legs went weak and he immediately fell to the ground.
With such skill, Gu Zuo had no power to resist, so he was undoubtedly building a foundation!
The monk looked down at Gu Zuo who fell to the ground and asked coldly: "Where is the person? Where is he? Tell me honestly!"
Two police officers behind him also arrived and yelled: "How dare you run in front of Master Zheng Xian? What's going on? Where is Team Leader Ji?"
Gu Zuo was having a fierce struggle in his heart. He was thinking about whether to refuse to confess or to take the initiative to confess. Another person came from the distance. It was Zhang Mo, the criminal recorder of Shanyin County.
After Zhang Mo arrived, he handed over to Master Zheng Xian and said, "The man has been caught. He is at Sandaogang, not far from here! Senior, please help intercept him this time!"
Master Zheng Xian nodded: "Just catch him..." He kicked Gu Zuo to Zhang Mo's feet: "Consider this person an accomplice and hand it over to Zhang Xingcao."
Zhang Mo looked at Gu Zuo strangely and said, "Gu Zuo of Huaixian Pavilion? It's you?"
Two police officers testified: "Zhang Xingcao and Gu Zuo ran away as soon as they saw us. They are probably accomplices."
Gu Zuo seemed to have some hidden agenda and quickly shouted: "Zhang Xingcao, you are unjust!"
Zhang Mo asked: "What have I wronged you for?"
Gu Zuodao: "Zhang Xingcao, who are you searching for? I don't know."
One of the detectives sneered: "The entire county is searching for demonic cultivators. You are a fast class cultivator, and you are doing your job properly. Everyone has been working hard all day and night, and you actually say you don't know? Are you coaxing a three-year-old?"
Gu Zuo concluded: "I have been in retreat in Xiaogushan for the past two days, so I don't know."
Another detective kicked Gu Zuo and cursed: "You ran away without knowing anything?"
