Chapter 98 098. Report to the authorities
The bailiff drove the people gathered here back to their rooms and then called the waiter.

"Brother Xiaoer, I'd like to trouble you to help us report it to the police." Liu Pingkang stuffed a silver coin into the waiter's pocket. "You have to do it as soon as possible."

"It's dark now. Why don't you send someone to go with me?" The waiter was a little timid. Who knew if there was anyone guarding outside?

He has only been working here for a short time and has already encountered such a dangerous thing. He will definitely ask the boss to resign tomorrow. He can't do this job.

"Ma Zhi, please accompany this young master for a while," Liu Pingkang had no choice but to ask someone to follow him.

After handling these matters, Liu Pingkang glanced at the Gu family with a cold gaze. Finally, he stared at Gu Baijiang and said, "Master Gu, do you still think this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Gu Baijiang, "How would I know?
Maybe it was the wrong person, the wrong door."

Even at this time, Gu Baijiang was still making excuses. Liu Pingkang was so angry that he laughed, "I didn't expect that Lord Gu is so stubborn. I hope you can be so lucky next time.

Since you have nothing to do here, we will leave first. I hope you won’t delay our journey tomorrow.”

At the same time, Liu Pingkang felt uneasy. One of the two forces was protecting this old man, but he didn't know which nobleman from the capital was protecting him.

These officials are corrupt and like to form cliques. Even after being exiled, they are still causing trouble.

Anyway, he reported the matter and tried his best tonight, so he hoped that the higher-ups would send someone to pick up the family as soon as possible.

Let his people go back and rest early, otherwise they will not have the energy tomorrow. As for these desperate Gu family members, what does that have to do with him?
Before leaving, he glanced at Bai Suihe. The aunt of the Bai family had been staying at home these days, and he didn't expect to see her on this occasion.

Thinking of the many benefits he had received from the Bai family before, he stopped and said, "Mrs. Gu, this situation is a bit complicated. If you can't solve it, you should take care of yourself first."

The Bai family agreed to give a generous reward if they could deliver the person safely to Lingnan, but after only a few days, they attracted two waves of men in black. They must not get their God of Wealth involved.

"Thank you, Lord Liu," Bai Suihe was also helpless. Gu Kaiyuan had avoided her. If she didn't show up at this time, the reputation of their family would be ruined.

"Mother is still injured, I have to wait on her here."

"Mrs. Gu San's filial piety is commendable," Liu Pingkang and the others all gave approving glances. "It's also my fault. I shouldn't have dragged Gu Kaiyuan out for a drink before. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

Bai Suihe understood that this was the other party's kindness, and it also helped everyone explain why Gu Kaiyuan was not here at the moment, "Your Excellency, there is no need to blame yourself. No one knew that such an accident would happen tonight.

But even if my husband were here, he would be like my two brothers, unable to resolve this unexpected situation."

Bai Suihe stood there neither servile nor arrogant, and when he said this, he did not forget to glance at the Gu brothers. Seeing that they were thinking about something, he knew what they were going to say.

Bai Suihe's words directly blocked them in the nick of time. If they wanted to blame Gu Kaiyuan for not coming to help, then where were they?
After Liu Pingkang and the others left, Bai Suihe stood quietly outside the door.

While the doctor was still treating the wounds, the waiter and Ma Zhi came over with the yamen runners. These people skillfully carried the men in black away and left some people to guard the place.

The waiter looked at them several times and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Xu Huizhen's wound was treated and she was given another dose of medicine. The sky was beginning to brighten slightly.

Fortunately, Bai Suihe had prepared in advance and rested well in the space before coming down, otherwise he really would not have been able to endure it. Gu Baijiang, who had been lost in thought, heard the rooster crow and raised his head. Seeing his children and grandchildren still standing outside, he said in a hoarse voice, "Go and pack your things, don't delay the time of the police master and others."

"But what about mother?" Gu Kaiping was a little worried. "Her wound may not be suitable for long journeys."

"What can we do?" Gu Baijiang said with a wry smile, "How can we be independent with our current identities?

Spread the bedding on the oxcart later, buy some medicine, and take good care of her on the way."

When I saw Dongmei and the others before, I had some thoughts about it, but I knew that the escorts would not agree, so I didn't mention it.

Unexpectedly, what he had figured out was not understood by Gu Kaiping and the others. Gu Kaiping pleaded with Bai Suihe, "Third sister-in-law, considering mother's current health, can Dongmei and the others stay here to take care of her first?"

Bai Suihe looked at Gu Baijiang, "Father, what do you think?"

"Boss, don't talk nonsense, don't embarrass your third sister-in-law. Even if Dongmei and the others are willing, the escort won't allow it.

Go pack your things quickly, and prepare some more food. Your mother will need to be well cared for during the journey."

"Doesn't the Bai family have money? If you give them more benefits, they will definitely be willing." After all, the person lying there was his mother, and Gu Kaichen felt very distressed. "Third sister-in-law, even if there is any unpleasantness between our families, human lives are at stake now, you can't hold a grudge."

Bai Suihe was already cursing in his heart. This family was so shameless that it made people at a loss for words.

They put all the blame on her. Do they think she is easy to be bullied just because she is standing here alone?

"If the eldest and second brothers were the escorts, what would you do?"

"..."

Bai Suihe did not let them go because of their silence, "If this problem could be solved with money, my mother would definitely not want me to suffer like this.

Instead of making things difficult for me, you should quickly arrange the car to be more comfortable."

"Since my third sister-in-law is unwilling to help, can you let mother use your ox cart to recuperate?" Xu Yulan's eyes flashed with greed. The things prepared by the Bai family must be more complete than theirs. If her aunt moved there, she could also go with her in the name of serving her.

Bai Suihe didn't answer, but looked directly at Dongmei, "Dongmei, what do you think?"

Dongmei raised her head slightly and said, "Miss, that is our carriage, it has nothing to do with your Gu family.

We agreed to let you and your son-in-law go with us because of our previous relationship as master and servant.

We sympathize with Madam Gu’s injury, but what does this have to do with us?
I think if you really cared about her, wouldn't you be at the post station right now? There are plenty of carriages here that are better than ours. Wouldn't it be easier to just give her some silver and get one instead? "

Bai Suihe looked at the Gu family helplessly, "Second sister-in-law, what do you think about this?"

"This is also a solution," Gu Kaichen said with a shrewd look in his eyes, "but we are short of money. How about asking my third sister-in-law to sponsor us?"
