Chapter 40: Furious [Three Watches]
Lu Zhiyao took Gu Nuochu to another room, looked at the room where there was no one, and said with some embarrassment: "He may be out of the house, you wait here, I'll go find him and come back." β
"Do you know where he's gone?"
"He shouldn't be far away, I'll take a look around."
When Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room, he gave Bai Lixuan, who had already quietly walked out, and asked him to look at Gu Nuochu. Then, Lu Zhiyao came to the room where Ye Shengnan was locked, and saw Ye Shengnan lying there motionless, with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was asleep, so he stepped forward and kicked him, and when he opened his eyes and looked at himself, Lu Zhiyao said softly: "Gu Nuochu was arrested." β
Ye Shengnan's eyes widened instantly after Lu Zhiyao said this, and he looked at Lu Zhiyao blankly for a while before he said, "Impossible, don't lie to me." β
"I lied to you?" Lu Zhiyao sneered twice, "Is there any benefit in lying to you?" He was arrested by Nangong's family, and many people saw him on the street. I said Ye Shengnan, how did you two provoke the Nangong family? β
As soon as Ye Shengnan heard the three words of Nangong family, his expression suddenly changed. Struggling to sit up from the ground, Lu Zhiyao saw that he was struggling too hard, so he reached out to help him. "If you tell me the truth, maybe I'll be able to help you. Otherwise, when the Nangong family really wants to kill people, no one will be able to save you. β
"Who the hell are you?" Ye Shengnan looked up at Lu Zhiyao and asked the doubts in his heart again. This woman appeared too strangely, and she seemed to know her own affairs very well. He has been arrested for so long, although she didn't beat and scolded herself, but she didn't give a sip of water to drink and a bite of food, which also made Ye Shengnan extremely uncomfortable. Ye Shengnan subconsciously felt that this woman was an enemy, but she said that she wanted to help herself. Ye Shengnan knew that what he was doing was not a good thing, so he didn't dare to tell the truth easily. But now hearing the news that Gu Nuochu was arrested by the Nangong family, Ye Shengnan couldn't help but panic.
"The person who can save your life is also the person who wants to make a fortune from you. You've probably heard the name Feihe Tower, right? Lu Zhiyao smiled indifferently, and said to Ye Shengnan calmly: "You and Gu Nuochu went to that pharmacy, do you really think that no one knows about it?" There have been a lot of people in that place lately delivering money, right? Do you need to find out from you that you got all that money you have? β
Ye Shengnan's silent attitude made Lu Zhiyao feel more and more that his guess was correct. But she never thought that Ye Shengnan would be involved in this kind of thing unexpectedly. Lu Zhiyao didn't know if he was working for the Nangong family, so there were some things she didn't dare to say too obviously. Judging from Ye Shengnan's reaction when he heard that Gu Nuochu was taken away by the Nangong family, he was cowardly, so Lu Zhiyao said the words "Nangong family killed people" and "she could save him".
"This, this matter has nothing to do with me." Ye Shengnan opened his mouth hesitantly, "It's all Gu Nuochu's idea, it's none of my business." β
"Oh?" Ye Shengnan's words made Lu Zhiyao suspicious, it's not what happened, why did these two people bite first?
"He found the person, and he came up with the idea, so it really has nothing to do with me! I can give you all the money I earn, if you let me go!" β
It was not the first time that Ye Shengnan had dealt with Feihelou, so he knew very well how big Feihelou's appetite was.
The expression on Lu Zhiyao's face became more and more gloomy as Ye Shengnan said more and more. Patiently continued to talk to Ye Shengnan, she whispered: "Feihelou never does uncertain deals, this matter is too weird, you have to tell me the cause and effect, I have to consider whether to cooperate with you." Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to offend the Nangong family. β
"Are you Jianghu people still afraid of them?"
"Joke, as long as it's a person from this Xia Lai country, you have to be taboo with the Nangong family, right? Although Feihelou does not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, it cannot be denied that this bowl of rice in the imperial court is really delicious. More things are better than less, you can't just set up such a big enemy for yourself, what do you say? β
After listening to Lu Zhiyao's words, Ye Shengnan felt that there was some truth. The people of the Flying Crane Tower are not good things, as long as there is silver, they will kill people and set fires. I was too careless this time, so I was targeted by them, but if I could solve it with silver, it would be better than being caught by the Nangong family. I don't know if Gu Nuochu will confess himself, and if the Nangong family can't catch him, will his family be implicated.
"Can you let me go?" Ye Shengnan has been lying on the ground in that posture since the moment he came, and his hands and feet are numb and he is almost inintuitive now.
Lu Zhiyao didn't speak, but directly released the rope on his body. motioned for Ye Shengnan to start talking, but Ye Shengnan said that he wanted to drink water.
"It's a bit of an inch, isn't it?" Lu Zhiyao sat on the chair with his hands on his chest, and asked with a slanted gaze at Ye Shengnan.
Ye Shengnan sighed, and didn't mention the matter of drinking water again. Slowly spoke, he said: "I didn't expect so many people to die, our original purpose was to make some money, but the poison they gave was too ruthless, so we had to sell the antidote in advance." Those two people were found by Gu Nuochu, I heard that they were from Fanbang, and they were discovered by Gu Nuochu when they were exiled here, and when they learned that they would use poison, they came up with such a method. β
Ye Shengnan finished speaking, but Lu Zhiyao didn't react for a long time. After a long while, when Ye Shengnan noticed that something was wrong, Lu Zhiyao slowly stood up and asked intently, "Do you mean to say that all of this is the ghost that you and Gu Nuochu are doing?" β
"We don't want to make things like this!" Ye Shengnan hurriedly wanted to explain, and saw Lu Zhiyao walking towards him angrily, and reflexively wanted to dodge.
Lu Zhiyao didn't calculate it after a thousand calculations, and their group would be played by Ye Shengnan! Filled with anger, Lu Zhiyao couldn't understand and forgive Ye Shengnan's act of killing innocent people for the sake of silver.
The loud noise coming from inside the house startled Bai Lixuan in the courtyard and Lan Ruoya, who had just come in from outside. The two walked to the door together, listened to the screams coming from inside, and opened the door in confusion, but what they could see was the wreckage of the table and Ye Shengnan lying on the ground.
"Wait, wait!" Ye Shengnan didn't know the reason why Lu Dao Lu Zhiyao beat him, and he stretched out his hand to resist. "Doesn't Feihelou just want money? I promised you, you still ......"
"Who told you that I was from the Flying Crane Tower?!" Lu Zhiyao coldly dragged Ye Shengnan up from the ground again, "I just asked you if you know the Flying Crane Tower?" From beginning to end, I never said that I was from the Flying Crane Tower! Ye Shengnan, Ye Shengnan, I have spared you again and again, and now you have finally found a reason for me to kill you! β
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he didn't give Ye Shengnan a challenge, so he moved again. With unrestrained strength and speed, Ye Shengnan was powerless to fight back, and when Ye Shengnan lay on the ground and saw Lan Ruoyan at the door, he hurriedly shouted without thinking about it: "Help!" β
"I see who dares to save you today!" Lu Zhiyao took two steps forward, and under the gaze of Lan Ruoya and Bai Lixuan, he broke Ye Shengnan's legs. The miserable screams pierced through the house, making Gu Nuochu, who was also in the other rooms in the courtyard, hear it clearly. Gu Nuochu walked out of the room tensely, and turned around to run after seeing what was happening.
"Tie him up for me!" Lu Zhiyao saw Gu Nuochu with his spare eyes, and immediately ordered Bai Lixuan and Lan Ruoya. The two of them didn't know what happened to Lu Dao to make Lu Zhiyao so angry, but they didn't dare to slack off and arrested Gu Nuochu.
"What the hell is going on?" Lan Ruoya waited for Lu Zhiyao to stop moving, and when Ye Shengnan was also knocked unconscious by her, he walked quickly to her side and asked.
"What's going on?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Lan Ruoyan with a smile and replied, "Haven't you always wanted to find out about the poisoning incident?" Now it's clear that these two brutes did it. β
"You said it's Ye Shengnan?" Lan Ruoya didn't expect things to turn out like this, her eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't believe it.
"He admits it to himself." Lu Zhiyao still hadn't recovered from his angry state, looking at Bai Lixuan, who was suppressing Gu Nuo Chuxuan and covering his mouth, Lu Zhiyao said in a clear voice: "Lock it up, I'll finish interrogating Ye Shengnan before cleaning him up." β
At this time, Lu Zhiyao's body exuded a chill and murderous aura, and everyone had never seen Lu Zhiyao's appearance, but after learning the truth of the matter, they did not have the slightest pity for Ye Shengnan and Gu Nuochu.
Since Ye Shengnan is no longer an official, his life is not as good as day by day. But he likes to go out to drink and have fun, and slowly, all the money he can spend is gone, so he and Gu Nuochu studied how to make a lot of money.
Gu Nuochu's family was originally in business, and their income has always been good. But after the Jiangnan Chu family came to the capital and opened a large number of shops, the silver they could earn was significantly less. The Chu family has a big business, and in order to gain a firm foothold in the capital, they do not hesitate to sell things at a lower price than theirs. But after all, they don't have the Chu family's family background, so as they come and go, the price can't be lowered, and they lose a lot of customers.
Gu Nuochu's father was angry with him because of this incident, and then cut off his expenses. Gu Nuochu, who suddenly ran out of silver flowers, tried to find a way everywhere, until one day he met two people named Huazi in the capital.
Although the two of them were asking for food, they were much cleaner than the others, and they were dressed differently from ordinary people. That's why Gu Nuochu asked casually after being stopped by them, "Who are you?" How do you dress like this? β
After talking in a few words, Gu Nuochu raised his legs and left, and he didn't want to give them his heart. Looking at the two people who were blocking his way again, Gu Nuochu asked with a smile: "Why, if you don't give you silver, you still want to grab it?" After speaking, he motioned to the little guy behind him to make a move.
"This son, as long as you keep my two brothers, there will definitely be a useful day in the future!"
The slightly taller man had no choice but to go down and beg Gu Nuochu, and the people around Gu Nuochu also stopped, not because of the man's words, but because the snake head that came out of the man's diagonal cloth pocket at some point and was still spitting out the letter scared them.
