Chapter 1498: Let's Run

"Dou Anzhi" has been restless and uneasy for the past few days, unable to sleep at night, with dark circles under his eyes.

A room full of books, all of them are "Today You Ignore Me, Tomorrow You Can't Climb High". He wished he could buy back all the books on the market.

Unfortunately, this book is too hot.

The more he buys, the hotter the market becomes.

It is said that the printing workshop is out of stock and can't print them. Merchants from all over the world are selling this book.

He didn't realize at all that someone was pushing behind the scenes, using silver to open the way, creating a prosperous age of bestsellers!

After all, he had never been exposed to such "high-end" struggles. He didn't think in that direction at all.

However, he still realized that his affairs had been discovered and someone was trying to fix him.

Who exactly is trying to fix him?

At this moment, he suspects everyone.

Colleagues are suspicious, classmates and fellow villagers are all suspicious. The servants in the house, the women are all suspicious. Even the wild dogs on the side of the road are suspicious.

The housekeeper bought back two baskets of books as ordered.

"Master, I bought out the books of two bookstores. How should these books be handled?"

"Burn them all, burn them all!" "Dou Anzhi" roared angrily. A room full of books, all recording his unbearable past, the secret he decided to hide for a lifetime.

Now that the secret has been exposed, will anyone pursue it? What will be the consequences?

He didn't dare to think about it.

Because he was too scared, his brain was blank.

The housekeeper seemed to lack vision, "Do you want to burn them all?"

"Do you want to keep them for the New Year if you don't burn them?" "Dou Anzhi" scolded angrily, "Are you laughing at me, Master? Tell me, are you?"

"Master misunderstood, the small one didn't."

"Presumptuous! Get out!"

"Dou Anzhi" was incompetent and furious.

For the past two days, he used illness as an excuse to ask for leave at home.

He didn't dare to go to the government office, he was afraid of facing the eyes of colleagues who saw through the truth. Although this kind of thing, in all likelihood, had not happened yet, he was just afraid.

Clearly back then, he was afraid of nothing, full of courage.

Now he is...

Others are officials for a long time, and their courage is getting bigger.

He is the opposite, the longer he is an official, the smaller his courage.

Maybe he didn't rest well, his eyes suddenly went dark, and his body swayed. He finally stood firm by holding the corner of the table.

The valet reported that the mistress had come.

"Please ask the mistress to come in!"

He endured the headache and sat down reluctantly.

Chu Shi brought the food box in.

"I heard from the people serving that you haven't eaten since last night. Even if the sky falls, you have to fill your stomach first. I asked the kitchen to make the food you like. It's been a long time since we drank, let's have a drink together."

"Dou Anzhi" looked at his wife Chu Shi, "Do you still have the heart to eat and drink now?"

Chu Shi chuckled, "If you don't eat, do you want to starve to death?"

She is not beautiful, she has given birth to several children, and her age has come up, now she is just an ordinary woman. Her maintenance is okay, and she looks relatively decent.

She placed the wine and food on the desk and poured the wine herself.

"It's useless to be anxious now, it's better to have a drink first."

"Do you know that once it happens, we will all die. The children probably won't be able to escape either."

Chu Shi stared at him straight with the wine glass, "Since you are so afraid, why don't we run."

"Run? Where to run?"

"Anywhere is fine, just don't be in the capital. Before the court knows, and the government hasn't started investigating, we will take the children and run far away, run to the south. We have saved some money over the years, save a little, it's enough."

"Can we run away?"

"If you haven't tried, how do you know you can't run away." Chu Shi's mentality is clearly more stable and more ruthless than "Dou Anzhi"!

"Before running, solve that dead girl first." Chu Shi added viciously.

"But I'm not reconciled! What if... what if it's just a coincidence, what if it's not that bad, I can still continue to be an official. And, the Dou family's treasures, we haven't found them yet."

"Treasures, treasures! For so many years, even if there was a little clue, I would fight with you. But after so many years, is there any progress? It's all your guess! The Dou family is a fallen family, there are no treasures at all. The old house has been turned over, the ground has been plowed three feet, and nothing has been found. Don't be obsessed anymore! Let's run, it's still too late. Listen to my advice, okay?"

Chu Shi was very angry, and when she mentioned the word treasure, she was furious.

But she couldn't let go of the other party, and finally could only persuade him in a low voice.

Run, run far away, go to the exile place Xizhou, I don't believe the court will chase after it. As long as there is money, even if you go to Xizhou, you can live a good life.

"Let me think about it, think about it again."

"What else to think about, it will really be too late if you think about it again. The appearance of the storybook is definitely not a coincidence. This kind of thing, if you don't know the truth, the person who wrote the book can't even make it up. Believe me!"

"You have long hair and short knowledge, a little wind and grass, and you want to run."

Chu Shi was furious, "I have long hair and short knowledge? Qiu Gui, don't forget, if it weren't for me back then..."

"Don't call me Qiu Gui!" Qiu Gui (impersonating Dou Anzhi) glared, his eyes full of anger and hatred, "You know, I hate people calling me Qiu Gui the most. Don't let it happen again!"

Chu Shi was scared first, her body shook, then she took a deep breath, "Really not running?"

"I said wait a little longer!"

He is already an official, and he has been an official for so many years, holding power. How wonderful the taste of power is, how could he be willing to give it up.

And, he has already started to find a way, preparing to be sent out, then the sky is high and the emperor is far, when he arrives at the place, he is the local emperor, deciding life and death in one word.

He doesn't want to be a fugitive, doesn't want to be that poor and down-and-out Qiu Gui who was forced to sell himself as a slave.

He wants to be a person above others, wants to be Official Dou!

He is Dou Anzhi!

Even if the king of heaven comes, he is Dou Anzhi.

As a person in the same bed, Chu Shi knows too well what the other party's eyes mean.

She sighed, "How about, send the children back to the ancestral home first. Staying in the capital, I am a bit uneasy. In case... we must leave a bloodline for your family. In the future, when we die, at least someone will burn incense and worship. Don't you think so."

"You arrange it!" Qiu Gui didn't oppose.

"Do you want to tell them the truth? Continue to hide it, I am worried that in case it happens, they don't know anything, and don't know how to hide..."

"Tell the eldest one alone."

"Okay!"

"Don't say everything." Qiu Gui subconsciously urged.

Chu Shi nodded, she understood.

As parents, they naturally hope to leave a bright and majestic image in the hearts of their children. Instead of the image of a butcher who kills and steals, and exterminates the whole family.

"Let the children take the money too."

"Give a part of it. Later I have to find a way to run for an official, there are still many places to spend money." Qiu Gui acted as if nothing had happened, still planning for the future.

Chu Shi opened her mouth, but didn't speak in the end, and chose to drink in silence. ===== CHAPTER 1499 =====
