Chapter 39: Catching Gu Nuochu [Second Update]
Ye Shengnan was stunned after listening to Lu Zhiyao's words, and then asked her, "Do you know who I am?" β
"Zhilu Dao! Of course, I know it! Lu Zhiyao nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The eldest young master of the dignified Ye family, how many people in our capital don't know the way?" β
"Since Zhilu Dao still dares to arrest me, ask me this kind of question?" Ye Shengnan sneered, "My Ye family has been an official in the imperial court for so many years, can't I save some savings?" β
"Young Master Ye can't talk nonsense." Lu Zhiyao stopped Ye Shengnan's desire to continue, "How much money this official can earn, we all know in our hearts." You and your father have been officials for all these years, and I count the two of you together, maybe not as much money as you have spent these days. If you have to use the idea of being an official as an excuse for me, then why don't I send you to the yamen and let them find out where your money came from? β
Ye Shengnan gritted his teeth and looked at the strange woman in front of him, knowing that he had bumped into someone who was difficult to deal with this time. I've been careful lately, but I didn't expect to have a problem at this juncture.
"How much silver do you want? I'll give it to you. β
"Tsk, that's generous." As soon as Lu Zhiyao spread his hands, Zhan Yulong put a stack of silver tickets in her hand. "I found this from you, and let me think about how much you took advantage of me just now. That's not enough money for you to pay me. β
"What a joke!" Ye Shengnan felt that Lu Zhiyao was a bit of a lion's mouth, what kind of woman he hadn't played? How many women is enough for him to play with?
"Are you kidding? If you don't believe him, how much silver does he have to sleep with me? Lu Zhiyao stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhan Yulong, and said with a smile: "You have to be glad that my husband is not here now, if you let him know that you eat my tofu, it will not only be settled with this bit of silver." β
Ye Shengnan knew that it was useless for him to say anything now, so he began to be silent. No matter what Lu Zhiyao asked him again, he refused to speak.
"I have more time now, if you don't want to say it, then I'll accompany you, I want to see which of us can survive whom."
Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and didn't do anything to Ye Shengnan. Ordered to fight Yulong looked at him, Lu Zhiyao stood up and walked out of the room, meeting Ling Yi.
"What's going on at Nangong's house?"
"Nangong Nuo'er and Lin Yixiang went back to Nangong Mansion after leaving the pharmacy today, and they left again after staying for an hour, and returned to Luowang's Mansion, and there is nothing left."
"It seems that the Nangong family is also ready to do something. Continuing to watch, I don't believe that they will never interfere in such a big matter. As soon as Lu Zhiyao and Ling Yi finished speaking, they turned around and walked into the room where Ye Shengnan was, and replaced Zhan Yulong with him. Because Zhan Yulong also needed to enter the palace to monitor the movements around the emperor, Lu Zhiyao had to interrogate Ye Shengnan in person. Moreover, she is also familiar with Ye Shengnan.
Ye Shengnan's alcohol disappeared little by little, lying on the ground and watching Lu Zhiyao drink tea leisurely, closing his eyes and recuperating, he couldn't help but feel dry and swallowed saliva.
Ye Shengnan was restless all night and couldn't sleep, and Lu Zhiyao lay on the rocking chair and slept for a few hours. Standing up in the morning and stretching lazily, Lu Zhiyao took the breakfast to the house and ate it in front of Ye Shengnan. When Ye Shengnan proposed that he wanted to drink saliva, Lu Zhiyao said resolutely: "If you don't tell the truth, don't want to eat, don't want to drink, and don't want to leave." You don't go home for three days, Master Ye is probably used to it, and when they are really anxious to find you, you will probably starve to death with me. Don't look at me like that, I can do what I say, if you don't believe me, let's try. β
Lu Zhiyao didn't have a good impression of Ye Shengnan, so naturally there was no need to show mercy to him. Continuing to investigate the poisoning incident, Lu Zhiyao found that Mu Wangye's side was also investigating the matter. Things seemed to have reached a state of stagnation, until Lu Zhiyao met Gu Nuochu again and saw that he was stopped by the people of the Nangong family.
Seeing that Gu Nuochu was about to be taken away, Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to show up under the crisis, quickly solve those people, and escape with Gu Nuochu. Several men who were defeated by Lu Zhiyao hurriedly returned to Nangong Mansion and reported the situation to Nangong Lingfeng. Nangong Lingfeng didn't finish talking for a long time after hearing this, and let a few people leave.
Lu Zhiyao took Gu Nuochu to a safe place, and looking at the pale face of this son-in-law, she asked coldly, "What do you have to do with the Nangong family?" β
"Nangong family?" Gu Nuochu looked at Lu Zhiyao a little confused, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. He shook his head and replied, "It's okay. Thank you girl for coming to the rescue just now, in the next ......"
"Alright, don't say polite words. Then let me ask you, what is your relationship with Ye Shengnan? β
"Do you know Ye Shengnan?" Gu Nuochu frowned, he went to Ye Mansion to look for Ye Shengnan, but he didn't find it, and he didn't see Ye Shengnan's figure until now.
"Of course I do, but he's a little bit out of business right now, so let me give you a word to say that everything is going according to plan. When he's done, he'll come to you. Lu Zhiyao didn't ask Gu Nuochu anything more, and after calming him down a few words, he warned: "By the way, you have to be careful recently, because those people will come to arrest you today." As for what to do, I think you should know it in your heart, right? β
Although Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan acted very cautiously, as long as they had the heart, they would still find out the relationship between the two of them and that pharmacy. There are a lot of people queuing outside the pharmacy these days, and it's not all poor. But there is no one who can come and go freely like the two of them.
After so long, the news that this pharmacy was able to cure people seems to have come true. But after Lu Zhiyao heard Lan Ruoya say that Ruan Chen's side still hadn't made an antidote, she felt even more that something was wrong. Now that the number of poisoned people in the capital has not decreased at all, Lu Zhiyao is also afraid that if things continue like this, someone will take the lead in the name of the imperial court to find out the truth of the matter, and then use this matter to endanger the emperor. And those people refer to the Nangong family.
"Auntie, girl." Gu Nuochu nervously stopped Lu Zhiyao, who wanted to leave, and asked, "Those people just now, do you know who Lu Dao is?" β
"The man who wants to kill you." Lu Zhiyao replied simply, "So you have to be careful, otherwise we won't have a chance to meet in the future." β
After Gu Nuochu listened to Lu Zhiyao's words, he was frightened and didn't know what to do. He wanted to leave, but he was afraid of being caught by those people. I don't think it's a way to stay here. In desperation, she could only ask Lu Zhiyao for help and let her send her back. Although it is a shame to ask for a woman, but at this point, Gu Nuochu can't care about it so much, he put down the value of a rich child, and said to Lu Zhiyao, who flattered him.
"Okay, I'll send you back." Lu Zhiyao didn't hesitate and agreed to his request. Accompanying Gu Nuochu to go back, Lu Zhiyao said a few words to him from time to time, and slowly talked about the pharmacy.
"You're being targeted by those people, it's not because of the pharmacy, is it?"
"Pharmacy?" Gu Nuochu turned his head to look at Lu Zhiyao suddenly, and a trace of panic crossed his eyes. "What pharmacy?"
"Ye Shengnan told me, you don't have to hide it like this." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, sighed lightly, and said, "Otherwise, do you think he is hiding because of something?" β
Gu Nuochu stopped talking, but Lu Zhiyao could still see from his face that he was angry. Sending Gu Nuochu home, Lu Zhiyao waved at him with a smile and wanted to leave.
"Girl, do you know where Ye Shengnan is now?" Gu Nuochu thought all the way, and finally asked.
"Zhilu Dao, what's wrong?"
"Do you know when he'll be back? I have some things I want to talk to him about in person. β
"Well, it's hard to say. Young Master Ye spared his life very much, he was afraid that those people would arrest him, so I thought he wouldn't come back for a while. If you are in a hurry, why don't I take you to him and then send you back, what do you think? β
"Good, good! I'll go with you! Gu Nuochu thought for a moment, nodded again and again, and followed Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao took Gu Nuochu away, a faint evil smile on the corner of her mouth, she wanted to continue to get some useful information from his mouth. "I heard Young Master Ye say that he has made a lot of money recently?"
"What's your relationship with him?" Gu Nuochu asked rhetorically.
"What else does it matter?" Lu Zhiyao smiled a little shyly, "He said he wanted to marry me, but it has been delayed for many months." β
Gu Nuochu was a little surprised, he had always had a good relationship with Ye Shengnan, but he never knew that there was such a person. Seeing that this woman's appearance is indifferent and elegant, it is very different from the ones that Ye Shengnan usually plays. Could it be that Ye Shengnan is really attracted to this woman?
"I didn't expect Sheng Nan to hide the golden house for so long." Gu Nuochu said with a smile: "He made a lot of money, he didn't lie to you." β
"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Lu Zhiyao's face showed a hint of satisfaction, "I didn't expect to make so much money in this matter." β
"He told you all about it?"
"Well, he doesn't hide much from me."
Lu Zhiyao smiled beautifully, but Gu Nuochu felt uncomfortable listening to it. This is a matter that costs human life, and Ye Shengnan actually told this woman everything. Fortunately, this woman has some ability, otherwise she was arrested, and she wouldn't be recruited immediately? When the time comes, let alone making money, presumably everyone in their family will fall to the ground, and they won't be able to survive!
Lu Zhiyao swaggered and took Gu Nuochu back to his residence, without forcing or threatening. Gu Nuochu entered the courtyard and looked around. Bai Lixuan, who was sitting in the corner, entered the room when he saw this, and did not show up.
"Who are those people?" Gu Nuochu only saw their backs and asked curiously.
"Please come to protect Ye Shengnan, rest assured."
"He's thoughtful." Gu Nuochu smiled sarcastically, Ye Shengnan had thought about everything without notifying him in advance, if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of this woman, he would have been arrested by those people now, and he didn't know what crime Lu Dao would suffer.
