Chapter 65: Night Attack

With Gu Qingbo's proposal, the atmosphere at the dinner table improved a lot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this point, the main course is also served. Gu Qingbo raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Today we gather for fairness, and we will compete fairly in the future." ”

"This is also thanks to Sister Gu's well-informed." Shen Weibei echoed and picked up the wine glass.

"Thank you, Miss Gu." Nangong Sixteen also held his wine glass.

The people drank all the wine in their cups and began to eat.

Since this is a guest banquet, according to etiquette, the woman eats without saying a word. So once you start eating, the room becomes silent, and even the sound of eating is hard to hear.

This is the style of the official lady, knowing etiquette and using etiquette.

Of course, in this regard, Chen Faner did not lose. From the chopsticks, the dishes to the entrance, every detail is in place, so that people can't find fault.

Halfway through the dish, Gu Qingbo raised his wine glass again.

"I have collected all the evidence to expose Deng Yourong's selection fraud. It's just that on the day of the primary election, one person needs to take the lead in presenting evidence. I wonder if any of you here would like to? Gu Qingbo maintained a toasting posture, slowly turned around in front of the round table, and took the opportunity to see everyone's reactions.

When everyone hears the word "take the lead", they all know that it is a job that offends people, and whether the report is successful or not, at least it offends the government and Taiwan.

"Our understanding of the evidence will never exceed that of Sister Gu, this 'head' naturally needs to be brought by my sister." Chen Fan'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she also raised her wine glass in response.

Gu Qingbo was not surprised that someone would say that, the expression on his face naturally showed a trace of grievance, and said, "It's not that my sister won't." It's just that I have a low status, not an official woman, and I'm afraid that I don't have enough prestige to take the lead, and I don't even have the opportunity to speak. ”

A reasonable explanation, and the women present all nodded in agreement.

Chen Fan'er withdrew her toasting posture, touched her earrings, and smiled and stopped asking.

The atmosphere at the table became awkward again, and everyone kept testing each other with their spare eyes, but no one came forward.

"There is a real risk of taking the lead in reporting." Gu Qingbo changed his words and continued: "I can make the decision, if anyone here is willing to take the lead, my Gu family will give it to her in any restaurant in the county town as a thank you gift." ”

What a big deal! A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of a few people, this county restaurant is worth thousands of gold, and the location is better, even close to ten thousand gold.

Gu Qingbo can be so generous because she has eaten the thoughts of some people here. Although there is an additional quota for fair candidacy, there is only one after all. After all, there are advantages and disadvantages here, and some women from small counties are here to make up a number and fight for luck.

However, if you can get a piece of the inheritance of the county, it is different. Not to mention the value of the restaurant itself, more importantly, it can develop in the county town from now on and seek a way back for the family.

After a few breaths of deliberation, several women couldn't hold back and were ready to speak.

"I'll take the lead."

"If you don't mind, let me go."

Chen Fan'er and Nangong Sixteen spoke almost at the same time, which made Gu Qingbo a little unexpected.

Nangong Sixteen glanced at Chen Fan'er a few more curiously, in her first impression, Chen Fan'er was the youngest, but she was low-key and calm, and she shouldn't have thought of it.

"Sister Chen is still young, I'm afraid something is wrong. I think Sister Nangong is more suitable, and the family is not in the official system, even if she offends Lord Futai, the impact will be very small. Gu Qingbo analyzed and persuaded Chen Fan'er to give up.

The pearl earring in the right ear shook again, and Chen Fan'er said in her heart: "It seems that Gu Qingbo still wants to calculate Nangong Sixteen." Originally, I was just trying, so let's wait and see. ”

Chen Fan'er raised her wine glass, looked towards Nangong Sixteen, and said, "Originally, my father had some suspicions with Futai, and I wanted to take this opportunity to come forward. Since it was Sister Gu who pushed it, then sister, I have thanked Sister Nangong here first. ”

After speaking, Chen Fan'er drank all the wine in the cup.

Nangong smiled sixteen times, and his lips slightly touched the wine glass in response.

"Oh no! Miss! Just as Gu Qingbo was about to say something, the shopkeeper suddenly broke in.

"Presumptuous! I'm entertaining VIPs, and I won't even knock on the door! Gu Qingbo's face was full of displeasure, not only was his speech interrupted, but his subordinates were so rude, it was a shame for the Gu family.

"Miss, Miss......" The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and apologized, but still panted, and said: "The city gate was raided by demonic beasts, and the two gods fell, and a group of demonic beasts sneaked into the city. ”

"How so!?" Gu Qingbo's face turned white, and he immediately turned around and opened the outer window. By this time the streets were empty, and the silence was more terrifying than the alleys of the night.

"Why didn't our guards tell me?" The ladies present are all escorted, and it stands to reason that such a strange situation should have been discovered a long time ago.

Gu Qingbo grabbed the eaves of the window, frowned, and said, "I was negligent." Because this banquet is quite important, when everyone has arrived, I will tell the shopkeeper to close the door and thank the guests. ”

"All the guards were arranged in the back room on the second floor, and of course, delicacies were prepared. However, the room was not facing outward, so I am afraid that I would not notice the anomaly outside. ”

There was a "rumbling" of footsteps, and all the guards ran up and stood behind their respective masters.

"Let me ask you, how many monsters have run in?" Gu Qingbo asked Xiao Er.

"This ...... I don't know about this little one. I only know that now there is a ban set by the priest at the city gate, and the repair has been completed. The Binh Duong Army has imposed a curfew and is making every effort to capture the fleeing monsters. ”

"How can such an important thing be said until now, it's really waste." Gu Qingbo saw that the faces of the people present were angry, so he simply lost his temper first and scolded the innocent shopkeeper.

"In that case, I'll retire first, at least it will be safer to return to the inn." Nangong Sixteen took the lead in getting up, and prepared to leave after a simple word.

"Yes, sisters, hurry back, watch out all the way. Miss Nangong, I will send someone to your residence for the evidence to be adduced. Gu Qingbo naturally won't keep it, if a few daughters die in the restaurant, then her Gu family will be discredited, and there is no need to mix it up anymore.

Everyone didn't care about the etiquette, so they hurriedly said goodbye and rushed downstairs.

In contrast, Chen Faner is much calmer. She inadvertently took off the pearl earring in her right ear, put it on the table, and followed the crowd downstairs.

The sedan chair drivers were also shocked when they heard the news of the monster entering the city, and when they saw the little master going downstairs, they hurriedly ran to the sedan chair parked in the backyard to prepare.

Half a cup of tea, everyone withdrew.

Chen Fan'er sat in the sedan chair, listening to the squeaking sound of the sedan chair, and obviously felt that the two sedan chair drivers were running.

She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that Song Qingsong had been trotting beside the sedan chair, and asked with some worry: "Where is the inn booked by the master?" Is it far away? ”

"On the outskirts of the Eastern District, close to the Imperial City. The lord said that there were acquaintances there, and it was more convenient. ”
