Gu Qingzhou sent Si Qiongzhi away, and then picked up the newspaper and looked at it again.

She is going to go to Pei's house. Hu

Qiao'er died tragically, and her body is still in the police station, not buried in the ground for safety. Going to Pei's house today is nothing more than comforting the family.

The Pei family arrived in Singapore earlier than the Si family. war

When things started a little, the Pei family gave up all business in the country. They seem to have the inside story and can't believe that the war will end so easily.

When the Si family moved in, the Pei family helped a lot.

For example, the house that Gu Qingzhou lives in now used to be three old Chinese houses. Gu Qingzhou bought all of them, renovated and opened them up, and it took several months. This old house was bought with the help of the Pei family.

Although the marriage failed, the Pei family tried their best to have a good relationship with the Si family, and the two families had close contacts.

Gu Qingzhou changed her clothes and was about to go out, but the servant said, "Madam, Chief Bai is here." Chief Bai is called Bai Yuanye, and he is the highest officer of the Huamin Guard Office. He was elected by the Chinese representatives and accepted the recognition of the British Colonial Governor's Office. He is one of the most prestigious people here.

Gu Qingzhou said, "please."

Bai Yuanye was wearing a white shirt with sweat on his temples. He came in from outside and was wrapped in a heavy hot wind, as if he was melted by the scorching sun. It's not cool in the house either.

Gu Qingzhou had already waited and prepared herbal tea.

Bai Yuanye was very thirsty, but he maintained his temperament. After drinking two sips in an orderly manner, he explained his purpose straight to the point: "Mrs. Si, have you heard about it? The body of the second young grandmother of the Pei family is now in the guard office."

Gu Qingzhou was surprised.

She comforted Qiongzhi in the morning and took care of the child. She just took time out to go out, but she hadn't called to ask.

The Guard Office is a well-established Chinese autonomous institution with its own courts and police station. If the Chinese people don't want to make trouble, they can completely accept the punishment and control of the Department of Defense. The colonial governor's office agrees with the legal effect of the Department of Defense.

The reason for this situation is not that the Chinese have a lot of face, but the lazy government of the colonial governor. Singapore has been a British colony for many years, and the shortcomings of the policy are gradually exposed.

The officials sent every year almost all accept bribes from the locals, even a bit like the Chinese saying "A strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake", their mind is not how to govern Singapore, but deprivation.

The wealthy Chinese would be willing to delegate power if they could pay taxes and pay bribes automatically, and would not increase the jobs of those officials and clerks in the Governor's Palace. Besides, the entire colonial governor's office is not only controlled by these Chinese people in Singapore, but also other races, as well as Malacca and Penang. When the young lady of the Pei family has an accident, will the British in the Colonial Governor's Mansion decide for them?

British people don't care who they are.

The smart and perceptive Pei family reported the case to the Huamin Security Department.

This is their own territory. According to the relationship between the Pei family and the Guard Office, they believe that the Guard Office can give them more justice.

"I don't know." Gu Qingzhou also picked up the teacup, glanced at Bai Yuanye, and asked, "Do you have any questions for Chief Bai?" Bai Yuanye shook his head. "

Mrs. Si, I came to the door today to ask for an assistant. "Bai Yuanye Road.

Gu Qingzhou knew that Qiongzhi couldn't be one of the suspects. If that was the case, the guards would go to Qiongzhi first. She had a lot of guesses about Bai Yuanye's visit, but she didn't expect it to be this. The surprise for a while was genuine.

"assistant?"

"Yes, the Department of Guards should have two deputy guards, but there has been no suitable candidate. Now, I officially invite Mrs. Si, I don't know if you will appreciate your face." Bai Yuanye said.

Bai Yuanye had heard of Gu Qingzhou's reputation. Voice

Gu Qingzhou, who is famous all over the world, is a legend in China, even Bai Yuanye has heard of it. This legend has the most famous reputation in the past few years.

Wang Ke, who was far away in Taiyuan Mansion, began to run frequently to the newspaper office after his aunt Wang Chen took over his own newspaper office. He planned to write a legendary story. The protagonist of his story is Gu Qingzhou. For such a story, other newspapers in the Wang family have to consider the sales volume and influence. Only Wang Chen doesn't care about these, and accepts Wang Ke's legendary story with the feeling of repaying Gu Qingzhou. Wang Ke is a brilliant young man, and he admires Gu Qingzhou's past. He also went to Yuecheng on purpose, visited the Yan family, and with the assistance of Ye Wu, compiled Gu Qingzhou's deeds into a book. At first, those stories were only serialized in Wang Chen's newspaper. After half a month, Wang Chen's newspaper sales have soared, almost ranking among the top three newspapers in Taiyuan. Later, the publisher took a fancy to it, and the book was published, and it sold extremely well. Even if it was blocked by artillery fire, the book was still sold all over Jiangnan and Jiangbei, including Hong Kong and Singapore.

Gu Qingzhou has also become a legend.

Bai Yuanye has also read it, and talked about it with the Chinese who came from China. They all said: Except for the affairs with the two brothers of the Si family, which were covered up, Gu Qingzhou's deeds are all true.

Since then, Bai Yuanye has known that Gu Qingzhou is very powerful, a shrewd and wise woman. Many of the Chinese who come from the mainland are from big families, and they have their own connections. The Huamin Guard Office, as you can tell, is an organization that can only manage civilians. If big families and wealthy businessmen don't take it seriously, it will only exist in name only.

It's like a lock, it can only guard against the gentleman but not against the villain.

In the long run, even those ordinary people will not obey its control.

Once the Chinese's own control chain is loosened, they need to be dealt with by the colonial governor's office, then the governor's office will put more pressure on them, and everyone has no dignity. Many visionary elders of big families contacted Bai Yuanye and encouraged him to find another deputy guard. First, they must be able to convince the public. It is best to have a prominent background, so that they can suppress the arrogance of those big families. The second is to be enough. Smart, moral and convincing, and the third is to have a close relationship with the local snakes in Singapore.

When Gu Qingzhou first arrived in Singapore, unexpectedly, the Yan family received them. The Yan family is a well-known local arms dealer, and they came here very early to take root.

Before Gu Qingzhou's house was turned over, they lived in Yan's house. Moreover, some people found out that when Gu Qingzhou married Si Xingpei, in order not to embarrass Si Mu, she used the name of Miss Yan, a wealthy businessman in Singapore. There is also a legendary figure in Singapore. Shenlong sees the beginning but not the end, but some people say that he is the uncle of Si Xingpei. With such a relationship, if the Guard Department wants prestige and dignity, it is best to get involved with Gu Qingzhou.

As soon as the murder case of Pei's family came out, Bai Yuanye thought that if he was like this, it would be thankless to enter and leave the Pei's family, but Gu Qingzhou would be treated with courtesy. Besides, Gu Qingzhou is also considered to be ordered in danger, and it is not easy to shirk. It has been two months since Bai Yuanye made this calculation. since

Since Gu Qingzhou's confinement, he was thinking about letting her go to the Guard Office to occupy a seat before her other career.

"Mrs. Si, if you're not free, it's not too late for you to resign when the Pei family's case is over." Bai Yuanye said, "This time, please help me no matter what."

Gu Qingzhou said: "I'm sorry, Chief Bai, I'm afraid it is"

"I heard that the last person the second young mistress of the Pei family saw was Miss Qiongzhi. Mrs. Si, if you don't help, I'll hire other people, and they'll take advantage of the topic." Bai Yuanye meant.

Gu Qingzhou knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape. White

If Yuanye is not sure, he will not come to the door, he has already planned it. Just why?
