After Gao Ji finished talking to Gao Ning, he hurried out to find someone. Before leaving, he was a little worried and asked the maid to go over and stare at him, so he could not let Gao Ning commit suicide.

At this time, Gao Ji was already panicked and was almost led by his daughter-in-law Gao Ning to fight against Chen Xi. What he had to do now was to invite all the gentry in Nanning Prefecture City and to discredit the previous incident of Gao Ning being beaten in Shenxi's military camp into Chen Xi's openly bullying Gao Ning in the prefecture. Gao Ning would rather die than obey, but was beaten to pieces.

The gentry in the city was invited to the county government without knowing it.

After listening to Gao Ji's statement, and then through the citations of officials, yamen and other bystanders, everyone believed in the incident of the Gao Ning family who came to Chen Xi to plead for the gentry.

Gao Ji said angrily: "Everyone, although I am not a capable minister, I have been an official in the court for many years. Today, my family is so embarrassed that I am so angry that I will come to the door to condemn the thief tomorrow, so that they will be punished by blood and blood..."

Before he finished speaking, the maid hurriedly ran in: "Master, it's not good, the young lady committed suicide by hanging a beam in the room!"

When Gao Ji heard the news that his daughter-in-law committed suicide, he almost fell to the ground. After he breathed a little, he asked: "Tell me again, what's wrong with the young lady? I'll commit suicide?"

The maid said tremblingly: "Yes...yes, Master, I hang the beam and commit suicide. I just rescued it from the beam... I wonder if I have any breath!"

Gao Ji secretly prayed: "Blessed by the Bodhisattva, you must have breath!"

Despite this, he was not confident in his heart because he felt that his daughter-in-law was extremely in her work and wanted to commit suicide just because she was angry with Chen Xi, and framed her with this. No one can guarantee that she would not make a real joke.

Gao Ji was upset and could not think about the problem calmly. He could only passively follow Gao Ning's instructions to perform the show.

"Hurry... take me to have a look!"

Gao Ji was very nervous, afraid that his daughter-in-law would have any problems. He couldn't explain to his son or grandson when he turned around.

The gentry did not know the specific situation and it was not convenient for them to check in the backyard where women were present. Fortunately, those officials and officials with responsibilities were not restricted and could inform the news at any time.

Gao Ji came to the backyard anxiously. Before entering the door, he saw that the two county yamen were not working in the office watching the yard. Gao Ning committed suicide by hanging his beam, but because he was a daughter, in this era when men and women were not allowed to get along, no man dared to contact Gao Ning's body casually. The last few women who worked in the mansion joined forces to lift it down, but they were already dead.

When Gao Ji came over, the housekeeper came up to salute in tears: "Master, the young lady has been saved, but...but I haven't recovered yet!"

If Gao Ji was just worried that the matter of framed Chen Xi would be exposed, now he hated Chen Xi and did not think that Gao Ning did anything wrong in this matter. He shouted angrily: "I am so angry that I am a dirty official named Chen. I am incompatible with you!"

The housekeeper who had followed Gao Ning to Chenxi Military Camp before knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master, it was the old slave who was negligent and actually let the traitor defil the young lady. The old slave is willing to apologize for his death!"

Gao Ji glared at the butler and wanted to scold him, but when he thought that this matter had nothing to do with the butler, he shook his head and said, "What are you waiting for? Go and ask the doctor quickly and wake up the young lady first!"

"Yes, yes! Master, don't worry first. The young lady will not be able to save her after she hangs it up... You can calm down first..."

After the butler finished speaking, he hurried to find the doctor.

The county government was in chaos and the situation quickly spread to the Chenxi desk.

Chen Xi was in the government office, the county office and the gentry's homes arranged for special personnel to monitor it. It was difficult to break through Nanning's capital from the outside, but if there was an internal problem, it would be impossible to guarantee it. Therefore, Chen Xi was wary of all unstable factors and then closely monitored it.

Yun Liu, who was responsible for reporting this, was a little confused about the chaos in the county yamen: "...Sir, since Gao Ning returned, the Gao Prefecture invited the gentry in the city to gather in the county yamen. Could it be that you asked someone to attack Gao Ning, which caused the Gao Prefecture to be dissatisfied and wanted to retaliate against you?"

As the person responsible for the guards around Chen Xi, Ma Jiu was standing behind the side of the Shuai Case. In his opinion, it was because he took Gao Ning to meet Chen Xi that caused so much trouble, and he was deeply uneasy about this.

Chen Xi was also curious: "Because Gao Ji was beaten, he invited the gentry in the city to come and put pressure on me? How confident is he to get a bargain from me?"

Yunliu said: "Sir, be careful. If the gentry in the city unites together, it will be unfavorable for you, whether you or the army that conquered the Southern Barbarians will be in a very dangerous situation in the city. After all, they have been in the local area for many years. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake!"

"Um!"

Chen Xi nodded. He didn't want to comment too much about Gao Ji and Gao Ning's affairs, so he said, "Continue to send someone to keep an eye on the county government. If there are any new trends, send someone back to report immediately. I will be careful. Anyway, I will not rest tonight, so I can deal with anything I have!

Yun Liu took the order and left. For her, Chen Xi's safety was the most important. But at this time, the city defense and the main streets were controlled by Chen Xi's troops. Even if Gao Ji had the help of local snakes, it would be difficult to pose a substantial threat to Chen Xi.

After Yunliu left the tent, Ma Jiu knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, it's a villain who has made you embarrassed. The villain is willing to go to the Gaozhifu Mansion to apologize!"

Chen Xi shook his head and waved his hand to help him: "Brother Jiu, this matter has nothing to do with you. The women in Gao's mansion are too arrogant and thought they could suppress me. They dared to roar in the central army's tent. It's simply overestimating their abilities. Brother Jiu, you go down and rest, don't take it to your heart!"

Ma Jiu stood up, his face full of guilt, but when he saw Chen Xi's relaxed expression, he felt a little better. When he saw that the tea cup on Chen Xi's table was empty, he quickly served the tea and water, and was as attentive as a child who did something wrong.

...

...

The night is quiet.

Nanning City is peaceful, but in fact it is undercurrent.

The matter in the county yamen has not yet ended, and Gao Ning was carried into the back hall. No one knows whether he or she is alive.

The gentry waiting in front of the hall was talking a lot. Gao Ji had been dealing with his daughter-in-law's affairs in the backyard and had no time to come out to entertain him. The gentry was inconvenient to leave. Because they had resentment towards Chen Xi, they had prejudice to look at the problem.

In the eyes of the gentry, as the lady of the scholarly family, Gao Ning is now the young lady of the prefect family, and it is impossible to joke about her reputation. Moreover, they subconsciously feel that Chen Xi is domineering and does something that is not uncommon to force the robbery of the people. The point is that when Gao Ning comes back, many people saw that there were scars on her face...

The gentry subconsciously felt that it was Chen Xi who forced Gao Ning, but Gao Ning refused to follow him. As a result, Chen Xi violently occupied Gao Ning, which made Gao Ning injured.

"...What should I do now? Shangshu Chen arrived to resolve the siege of the Nanman city, but he ignored the court's laws and regulations and forcibly set the price of grain in the city. If he refused to comply, he would seal the granary, and even the ferry warehouse was occupied by him. Such a person was not worthy of leading the troops, and he was facing him with praise. Now it is better to insult the young lady of Gao's mansion than to be a beast. He was planning to oppose our Nanning Mansion and be enemies of the people of Nanning Mansion. How can we tolerate him?"

Some people began to provoke discord, saying it was as if the insulted person was their wives, concubines and daughters. They were filled with righteous indignation. To put it bluntly, Chen Xi deprived them of huge profits.

Someone asked again: "What should I do? Do you dare to be an enemy of Lord Shen? Are you not afraid that he will lead his troops to confiscate your home? Now you can only report to the court and make decisions for us..."

Someone stamped his feet and beat his chest, and said in annoyance: "That thief led the troops of the six provinces, let alone the young wife of the prefect's family, even if we searched all our families and occupied your and my wife and daughter, what can you do to him?"

...

These words were very harsh, and the presence suddenly fell into silence, and the weakest part in the gentry's heart was stimulated and bloody.

The conflict between them and Chen Xi had existed before. If the Gao Ning family continued to ferment and forced Chen Xi to aggravate, they would likely start a massacre in the city.

Everyone's nerves are touched. No one knows how to face the predicament in front of them. Naturally, they do not want Chen Xi to continue to be "arrogant and domineering", but no one dares to come out and take the lead in fighting against Chen Xi. More people want to calm down, so it is best not to have any conflicts with Chen Xi.
