Chapter Eighty-Nine: Raiding People in the Middle of the Night
Without Zhang's obstruction, Gu Jiaoxiang came out of Jingfang Garden and went directly to the courtyard of Xinyi Garden, but only Dong Xiang and Dong Lan were waiting in the house in the courtyard, and they didn't see Ruan Lingwei. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu Jiaoxiang didn't ask much, but just asked Donglan something about her mother's situation in the past few days, and when she heard that there was no big problem, she told Xianglan to prepare a room, and she wanted to stay.
She still remembered that she had discussed with her seniors today about taking her father's heart, but she didn't expect that she didn't see Ruan Lingwei when she was over, which made her a little anxious.
"Do you have anything else to do with your predecessors?" Gu Jiaoxiang put down the book she had been reading for a long time, looked up and asked Xianglan.
Xianglan was stunned, scratched her head a little embarrassed and replied: "If the right protector has a private matter, he won't tell us about his whereabouts." ”
Gu Jiaoxiang nodded and didn't ask in detail, since her predecessors didn't come back, she was in a hurry and useless, so she had to cover her mouth and yawn, ready to sleep.
It was night, and Gu Jiaoxiang slept very unsteadily in Xinyi Garden.
And just when she was sleeping dizzy, there was a black shadow, which jumped from the roof next to the ancient mansion into Gu Jiaoxiang's courtyard very quickly, without anyone noticing.
In a few moments, the black shadow flew out of the courtyard quickly, jumped onto the roof, and sped away in a southeasterly direction.
The black shadow, stepping on the roof tiles, passed through several houses, and finally fell in the main courtyard of a house, and walked quickly to a house that was lit by candlelight.
Knock knock!
There was a rhythmic knock on the door three times, and a cold voice came from the room.
"Enter!"
The man was commanded, and immediately pushed the door in.
This is a study, there are three braziers in the room, as soon as this person walks into the room, he feels that the heat wave is coming, fortunately, his internal strength is deep, this alternation of hot and cold did not make him show the slightest surprise, closed the door and immediately walked inside.
The room also has an arched wooden door with a curtain of crystal beads.
The man just came to the door, and did not go inside, but knelt down on one knee on the spot, and clenched his fist at a figure in a trance inside: "My subordinates were derelict in their duties and failed to bring people according to orders." ”
As soon as the voice spoke, it was clearly a woman's voice.
"How?" There was the sound of flipping a book in the curtain, and then the cold voice sounded again.
"There's no one in that room." The woman in black replied.
"Didn't look for it?"
"The subordinates have looked for it, and it is in another yard, but the subordinates found that the people in that yard are unusual, all of them are people with kung fu, and the subordinates are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so they have to come back."
The woman in black knelt on the ground, and she didn't hear a sound from the house for a long time, and she immediately panicked and felt a little uneasy, lest her master would open his mouth to execute her because of his own disadvantage.
"Go down." It was only after a long time that the cold voice spoke again.
As soon as he spoke, the woman in black immediately breathed a sigh of relief, responded to the words of thanking her master, got up and bowed her head and exited the room.
The huge study room was quiet again. Only occasionally there was the sound of a book flipping over the paper.
After a while, another voice finally spoke, with some regret: "Master, why don't you just arrest people during the day, but go to catch them in the middle of the night?" It doesn't seem like an easy idea right now. ”
Inside the arched door, facing the direction of the door, a man half-leaning on the couch, with his hair scattered and a white brocade fox fur, looked at a miscellaneous book comfortably and naturally.
Standing beside him was a woman dressed as a guard with clear eyebrows. After placing a bowl of hot tea beside the man, he took two steps back and stood still.
The words of regret just now came from her mouth.
"Don't worry, Chunqing only left anyway, and it will take two days to wait for her to come back at the earliest, and now that people don't bring it, it's not good to lose people in the house when they get it, and it's not good to make trouble." When the man spoke, he turned another page of the book, and it turned out to be dual-minded.
These two people are none other than the pair of master and servant that Gu Jiaoxiang met outside the yamen today, the Ruan Gongzi who was poisoned by the "broken thoughts", and his guard Qiu Tong.
"But master, you are so poisonous, maybe that little girl can save you." Qiu Tong said with a worried face.
Half an hour ago, when her grandfather was reading a book, he suddenly vomited blood and poisoned, this time the poison was sudden, and it was a little more than the one in the daytime, Qiu Tong was anxious and worried for a while, so he sent someone to snatch Gu Jiaoxiang over, who would have thought that he would pounce in the air.
Fortunately, the master was only poisoned for a short while, and he was administered a few injections by the doctor before he survived in great pain.
"Don't make your own decisions next time, if someone detects it, you will have to change places again." The man opened his mouth to remind, his tone was obviously plain and surprising, but Qiu Tong was stunned and stiffened, and his heart palpitated a little.
Fortunately, after he just spoke, he went to read by himself again, and Qiu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had crossed the border this time, and the master did not blame her, it was her luck. She didn't speak, she stood quietly and waited.
And Gu Jiaoxiang didn't know that there were people in her yard, and when she walked outside the house at dawn, she immediately sobered up, was served to freshen up, and learned that her mother had nothing else to do, so she went back to her yard first.
She still has things to do today.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and after a day of tossing yesterday, she knew that there would be guests in the house today, and it was the day when Xiao Zhang, the wife of the county princess, brought the two brothers and sisters of the Zhang family to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings.
Originally, today should have been the day when my uncle came to visit the New Year, because the two sisters of the Zhang family had no elders, and the Zhang family had no one else, Gu Deyuan did not have to go to worship his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so every year today, Xiao Zhang's family came to pay New Year's greetings to his sister and brother-in-law.
Gu Jiaoxiang remembered that the little Zhang family would leave the two brothers and sisters of the Zhang family behind this year, and in order to avoid being entangled by Zhang Shizhong that day, she had to make some preparations.
Although the Zhang family is likely to be the same as in previous years, she will not come to send someone to her at all, she still has to guard against it, after all, in the previous life, Gu Jingxiang did not lead Zhang Xuanxuan to her house to show off her might.
Thinking that day she accidentally saw Zhang Xuanxuan looking at Nie Yuanyuan's expression, and then thinking about her previous life, she buried herself and her in Gu Jingxiang's ear, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.
"Miss, Miss!" When Gu Jiaoxiang's mind was a little far away, Dongyue's slightly cheerful shout suddenly sounded in her ears.
She raised her head and glanced at Dongyue, who was smiling, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss, I went to the Huan bathroom just now, what did you just see?" Dongyue looked at her mysteriously and asked.
