Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 208 I Want to Go Back

The two of them went to the front hall hand in hand. When Gong Tao saw them, he immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Master Gu, Madam Gu, you two saved my life and helped me clear my name. This great favor is like a rebirth. Please accept my respect!"

"Master Gong, please stand up quickly!"

Shen Nankui hurriedly asked Hehua to help him.

After everyone was seated, she smiled faintly, "Master Gong, you are too kind. You were the one who saved me first. I am only doing this to repay your kindness."

Gu Yichuan also said: "Yes, you are not only the benefactor of my husband and me, but also an innocent victim. For both public and private reasons, I should find out the truth and restore justice to the world."

Gong Tao's eyes were filled with deep gratitude. "In short, I am very lucky to have met you two."

He has been on the run for nearly a year, having endured numerous dangers, and now he has finally been cleared of all charges and no longer has to hide. How can he not be excited?

"By the way," Shen Nankui asked, "I wonder what Master Gong wants to see us about?"

Gong Tao stood up, clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

"For several months, Madam Gu has taken me in and taken care of me. Gong Tao will never forget this great kindness. Now that the case has been solved, I have no reason to continue to bother you. I want to see you today to say goodbye to you."

Shen Nankui was not surprised, "Where is Gong Xia going next?"

Gong Tao raised his head, "Han County."

Gu Yichuan suddenly asked, "I heard that Master Gong has no fixed place to live and has been wandering around for years. Han County is not your hometown. In this case, you suffered such a big loss in Han County. Why do you want to go back?"

“That’s why I want to go back.”

Gong Tao's eyes flashed with determination, "Master Gu, although the killer around Governor Pang confessed his guilt and admitted that he was the one who killed the thirteen people in Han County Villa, even so, I still don't know why they killed people and why they framed me?"

Gu Yichuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "The confession said it was because of a personal grudge."

Gong Tao sneered, "Master Gu, I know the answer. You must not even believe it. Killing thirteen people just because of personal grudges is too much of an exaggeration. Does the Pang guy think that he has lived a good life for too long?"

Gu Yichuan remained silent.

He naturally knew that something was wrong, but the killer had already confessed his crime and was executed, and Governor Pang committed suicide out of fear of punishment, so the clues ended here. Besides, the reason was that the magistrate of Han County had a strange cause of death, and he couldn't reach that far.

"Then you should know that there will be many dangers when you return, so why bother to bring trouble upon yourself?"

Gong Tao sighed, "I understand that you are doing this for my own good, but one must live one's life with clarity. I was framed for no apparent reason and have been on the run for a year. I have almost lost my life several times. I can't not know the reason. The magistrate of Han County died even more unjustly. I also want to find out why he was killed."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gu Yichuan did not want to persuade him any further and just said, "Then be careful in everything you do."

Gong Tao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Gu. Governor Pang is dead. I don't think there will be any obstacles for me to investigate these matters again."

Gu Yichuan looked at him solemnly and said, "If you find anything wrong, send a message to me."

Gong Tao was stunned for a moment before he clasped his fists and said, "Sure!"

After he left, Shen Nankui also sighed, "Hero Gong is a very upright person. I just hope he will not be in danger on this trip."

After all, what exactly happened in Han County and the real reason why Governor Pang wanted to kill the former county magistrate are still unknown.

……

Two days later.

After finishing his government affairs in the morning, Gu Yichuan went home to have lunch with Shen Nankui, and coaxed Ah Nao to sleep before reluctantly going to Zhang's house for the banquet.

The Zhang residence is extremely lively today, with guests flocking to it, beautiful people in elegant clothes, and laughter interweaving into one scene.

When Gu Yichuan stepped in, the crowd suddenly quieted down.

His appearance brought the atmosphere to a climax. People cast curious and admiring glances at him, wanting to see this legendary state master.

Many of them were meeting him for the first time, and they were secretly amazed at his demeanor. Some secretly speculated about his background, while others admired him and wanted to make friends with him. For a moment, Gu Yichuan was surrounded by everyone, as if he was in a sea of ​​praise and curiosity. He responded to the guests' greetings one by one, and his behavior revealed his extraordinary demeanor and upbringing, which made everyone present fall in love with him.

In this banquet, Gu Yichuan is not only a distinguished guest, but also a bridge that connects people's hearts and conveys warmth. He interprets responsibility and commitment with his actions, allowing everyone present to feel the sincerity and enthusiasm deep in his heart. All of this will become an unforgettable chapter in his life journey, inspiring him to continue moving forward on the road ahead.

"It turns out that he is the legendary Gu Zhouzun."

Behind the screen, a young woman was hiding quietly, her heart beating like a drum, her eyes flashing with uncontrollable surprise and curiosity. Those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate through all the barriers, staring straight at the young man, not wanting to miss any of his subtle movements, every look.

She bit her lower lip lightly, trying to suppress the ripples in her heart, fearing that the slightest sound would reveal her existence. Gu Zhouzun, this name has long been known to everyone in the city. He is not only a young talent with great power, but also the dream lover of countless girls. Now, seeing this legendary figure in person, he is so young and so elegant, far beyond her imagination.

She secretly poked her head out and observed more greedily through the gap at the edge of the screen. Gu Zhouzun's every move revealed an innate nobility and calmness. His words and laughter seemed to be able to easily ignite the enthusiasm of the people around him, and inadvertently smooth out all the waves. The woman couldn't help but secretly admire that such a man, no wonder he could be the leader in this chaotic world and become the star that everyone looked up to.

However, in addition to this admiration, she also quietly felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. Was it admiration? Admiration? Or an indescribable throbbing? She herself couldn't tell. She only knew that at this moment, it seemed that he was the only one left in her world. All the noise and disturbances had gone away, leaving only his tall figure, leaving an indelible mark in her heart.
