Chapter 77: Long Talk in the Cell
At the door of the county jail in Wenqu Town, there were two soldiers standing, with sabers at their waists, their heads held high, their faces solemn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Gu Chengze approached, they saluted and said, "Gu Gongzi." ”
With that, the two of them stepped forward and opened the iron lock of the door, and the door opened with a squeaky sound.
Gu Chengze nodded and walked in.
The inside of the cell seemed empty and quiet, even though the sun was still shining outside at the moment, but the cell looked groggy for a while, Gu Chengze only felt that his eyes were chaotic and blurred.
The next moment, Gu Chengze smelled a rancid stench mixed with a bloody smell mixed with the moisture that had accumulated after years of not seeing light.
The soldiers on duty in the cell only felt that their eyes lit up when they saw Gu Chengze, Gu Chengze was wearing a moon-white green bamboo dark pattern gown that was incompatible with the scene in the cell, and it seemed that a fragrance drifted into the bottomless valley.
"Master Gu, this way." The soldier came back to his senses and hurriedly led Gu Chengze in.
Gu Chengze's words caused the prisoners in each cell to stand at the iron door and look at him, and their eyes kept moving as he moved.
After a while, the soldier stood at the door of a cell and stopped, took out the key from his waist, and after the sound of iron chains, the iron door slowly opened.
Gu Chengze stood at the iron door and looked at Xie Zhuoyan who was sitting in the cell.
At this time, she was dressed in a white prison uniform, her body was stained with a little dust, but her hair was not messy, even if she was wearing a prison uniform, she still couldn't hide her original light.
It's rare for someone to wear such a completely different temperament in prison uniforms.
Gu Chengze thought about stepping over the iron gate, and Xie Zhuoyan also got up and looked at him when he saw it.
The two prisoners in the opposite cell seemed to be a little distracted, and they looked at Gu Chengze and Xie Zhuoyan in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh in a trance, saying that they were a generation of beauties.
"Gu Gongzi," Xie Zhuoyan stepped forward to give a salute and stretched out her hand to invite, and then said, "I hope you don't dislike the mess here." ”
Gu Chengze nodded and sat down, and Xie Zhuoyan looked at him for a few seconds and sat down in front of him.
The two were speechless for a moment.
"Miss Xie," Gu Chengze spoke first to break the silence.
Xie Zhuoyan looked over and waited for Gu Chengze to speak.
Gu Chengze's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said after a moment: "Let you suffer here." ”
Xie Zhuoyan reached out and picked up the teapot on the wooden table, poured it into the two somewhat broken coffee tables and pushed it to Gu Chengze, and said, "It's okay." ”
Gu Chengze took the teacup with both hands, lowered his head and pursed his lips.
"I was also forced to do so, the situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't know where you were, so I could only dispatch officers and soldiers from the county government in Wenqu Town."
Gu Chengze shook his head as he spoke.
He knew that what he said was irrelevant, the main thing was ......
"I have no choice but to go to you for the reason of arresting the criminal, I know that I am doing this very abruptly," Gu Chengze raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "But don't worry, I will rescue you soon." ”
In this case, it is really inappropriate to save Xie Zhuoyan out, but Gu Chengze doesn't know how to say it more appropriately.
After all, Xie Zhuoyan appeared here all because of her own willfulness.
Now no matter how Xie Zhuoyan is angry with him, even if he beats him and scolds him, Gu Chengze feels that it is not an exaggeration at all.
But what Gu Chengze never expected was that Xie Zhuoyan raised her lips and smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "You don't have to apologize to me." ”
Gu Chengze looked at Xie Zhuoyan in a daze.
"You also know that you are actually doing this for my safety," Xie Zhuoyan continued, "At present, it seems that there is no place safer than here, so it seems that I should thank Gu Gongzi for saving his life." ”
Gu Chengze looked at Xie Zhuoyan, who was talking and laughing freely, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
"It's me, self-righteously thinking that I can solve these problems alone, but I didn't expect ......" Xie Zhuoyan lowered her head and smiled bitterly.
Unexpectedly, he not only overestimated his current ability, but also underestimated the sphere of influence of Xu Mansion.
After thinking about it, Xie Zhuoyan looked down at her right hand, and her eyebrows frowned.
I don't know why, my body, which has improved a little after a few months of training, suddenly seems to be drained and can't exert my energy, is it because there is still too little training?
And it was just a punch by Liu Tie's fist, so he couldn't be unconscious.
The more Xie Zhuoyan thought about it, the more irritable she felt.
"Miss Xie, don't say that," Gu Chengze seemed to sense Xie Zhuoyan's distress, and hurriedly comforted: "If it weren't for Miss Xie's help, I'm afraid Yongxing and Gu Mansion would have been overwhelmed, and now that Yongxing Dart Bureau can regain its prestige, Gu Mansion can stand safely in Xiangyang Mansion is thanks to Miss Xie's blessing." ”
Xie Zhuoyan raised her head after hearing this, and looked at Gu Chengze seriously.
He has a pair of thick and slender eyebrows, a pair of eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling, soft and gentle, exhaling like an orchid, and a childish spirit has not been taken off, as if he has already shown the iron backbone of a man.
Xie Zhuoyan's eyes softened and smiled gently.
Such a thoughtful and subtle boy is really reassuring.
Gu Chengze was slightly stunned when he saw Xie Zhuoyan's gentle smile, lowered his eyes a little helplessly, and then said: "But I hope that Miss Xie will not carry everything alone in the future, this time you rescued Liu Tiequan alone to fight against Xu Mansion is also for Gu Mansion, I should help you." ”
Gu Chengze looked up at Xie Zhuoyan and said, "Only Miss Xie, you have a word, I ...... The Gu Mansion will definitely not sit idly by. ”
"Thank you," Xie Zhuoyan lowered her eyes and whispered.
If it weren't for the person in front of him, I'm afraid that he and Seventh Brother would have died a long time ago.
I don't know how Seventh Brother is now.
"Is Seventh Brother okay?"
"Are you alright?"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Immediately, Xie Zhuoyan nodded and said, "I'm okay, Gongzi Xie Gu is worried." ”
"That's good," Gu Chengze was slightly relieved, and then said: "You just have to recuperate here with peace of mind, I will order the officers and soldiers of Xiangyang Mansion to guard here, even if Governor Xu is powerful, his hand can't reach here." ”
Then Gu Chengze looked around again.
The cramped cell consisted only of a broken wooden bed, broken tables and chairs, a thin straw mat on the bedboard, and a quilt that was so dirty that it was impossible to see its original color.
Looking up, the mud on the walls was peeling off a little, the corners of the top of the walls were covered with dense cobwebs, and the whole room was not shiny except for the faint light shining in from the small wooden window at the top.
"I'll have someone take care of it later, these things won't work at all." Gu Chengze said.
How could a young lady who was pampered from the Yongxing Dart Bureau of the Xie family endure such a dirty environment in the cell, especially a girl, who must not be used to living in this damp and dark place.
"Then there's no need to trouble Gu Gongzi," Xie Zhuoyan said: "I just don't know how Seventh Brother is now, has he woken up?" ”
Gu Chengze turned his head, and before he could speak, a voice came from outside the cell.
"Thirteenth sister."
Xie Zhuoyan hurriedly turned around, only to see Xie Nanhao holding the iron door with both hands, opening a pair of bright eyes, and smiling happily and reassuringly.
Gu Chengze's half-open mouth slowly closed again.
