Chapter 144

Li Wan asked Xun Fang to pay attention to Gu Chengyu's movements, and as soon as Cao Zefang left, she immediately asked Gu Chengyu to come over and speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Gu, why did Lord Cao come here at this time, is it for the sake of the assassin?"

Gu Chengyu nodded: "That's right, someone in the inn reported to the official, and he came over to take a look at the situation after hearing the news." ”

The people of the inn report to the official?

Li Guan didn't believe it, they lived in a separate courtyard, and Heijiao didn't entangle with the guards much, even if someone heard some movement, in an uncertain situation, it was the middle of the night, how could they rashly report to the official?

This Cao Zefang really sent someone to spy on them secretly.

Gu Chengyu obviously understood this truth, and said helplessly: "As soon as he saw me, his face was full of apologies, saying that if this kind of thing happened in his jurisdiction, he would definitely find out the matter, catch that assassin, and give us an explanation." Please also rest assured that he will immediately send additional men to protect us, and nothing like this will happen again. He came with good intentions to care about our well-being, and put on the appearance of an elder, and even if I didn't want to deal with him, I had to deal with him patiently. ”

If he offended Cao Zefang, what rumors would spread would make others think that he was insignificant in his eyes, and mistakenly thought that his grandfather taught that nothing was important.

Sometimes it is not a good thing for people to have a good reputation, and if they do not talk about it, they may even attract misunderstanding from others for no reason.

Li Guan understood his helplessness and said: "If he wants to be nosy, let him take care of it, there are many ways for multiple people, maybe he can really help." As for what we were going to do, that's still the case. ”

"That's what I thought, too." Gu Chengyu smiled, "After dawn, someone from the government office may come over to inquire about the case, you don't have to come forward, leave everything to Uncle Zhou, he should know how to deal with those officials." ”

"That's okay, you and Uncle Zhou have a conversation, and everything outside will be handed over to you, I'm sleepy!" Covering his mouth as he spoke, he yawned.

Her attitude of such trust made Gu Chengyu very useful, raised her hand and stroked her long hair, said with a doting expression, "Then you can go back to sleep", and turned around and went out.

Li Guan was bumped by his small movements.

Ibis leaned over and winked at her: "Then you can go back to sleep!"

"Annoying!" Li Wan glared at her, lay on the bed, tossed and turned until dawn before falling asleep.

When she woke up, it was almost noon, and Ibis went to find Shi Yue to eat, and Hewang said while serving her to wash: "Wei Ping has woken up." ”

"Really? That's great! ”

Hewang smiled interestingly: "The first thing he did when he woke up was to talk to Gu Gongzi about last night, you must not have thought of what he said." ”

Li Guan looked at her from the mirror with a calm expression: "It looks different from what Uncle Zhou said." ”

"You know?" Crane Wang was surprised.

"Guess, you said so, there must be a discrepancy between their statements."

Hewang smiled and continued: "Actually, it's not that they have different words, but that they have only said half of what they have said. Uncle Zhou is talking about the second half, and Wei Ping is talking about the first half. ”

Li Guan raised his eyebrows: "How do you say it?" ”

Wei Ping said that he chased the assassin out of the inn, and the assassin did a great job and left him far behind, but out of nowhere, a black-clothed masked man appeared out of nowhere, and stopped the assassin with a sword, and before he could react, the two had already exchanged hands. Wei Ping saw that they were fighting lively, so he simply stood by and watched. He thought that the two of them were going to fight to the death, but the man in black turned around and walked away after snatching the assassin's weapon......"

It turns out that Heijiao still has a weapon.

This thought flashed through Li Guan's mind, thinking about the scene at that time, he seemed to be able to feel Wei Ping's bewilderment.

Seeing this, Wei Ping had no choice but to go up and fight the assassin. He said that with his skills, he had little chance of winning against the Assassins, but the Assassins had no weapons, and he could barely make twenty moves in the hands of the Assassins. After a while, Uncle Zhou arrived, and they fought the assassin for a quarter of an hour. What happened later, basically as Uncle Zhou said, Wei Ping was injured, and the assassin seized the opportunity to get out and run away. ”

“…… But that's not right. Li Guan thought for a moment, "I remember that Uncle Zhou was obviously following after Wei Ping at that time, how could he show up to help Wei Ping so late?" ”

"Well, only Uncle Zhou himself knows."

Li Wan nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Where is Uncle Zhou now?" ”

"I've taken the officials of the Cangzhou Mansion to the place where they fought last night, and I may be back in a while."

"Okay, wait for him to come back and ask him to come over to me." Then asked about Gu Chengyu's whereabouts.

Hewang said with a smile: "Because of the assassin's matter, everyone in Cangzhou knows that Gu Gongzi has come to Cangzhou, and this morning, several young masters came to visit Gu Gongzi, Gu Gongzi was afraid that there would be too many people and would argue that you would be clean, so he invited everyone to the teahouse next door to drink tea." ”

Then he must be very depressed now, Li Wan covered his lips and smiled.

Dong Linzhi knew that Li Guan had woken up, so he came to him on purpose, saying that he was going to take her to eat delicious food, which shocked her.

Chu Fang came in from outside with tea, and when he heard it, he hurriedly said: "Ouch, this is not good, our young lady was almost hacked last night, and now the assassin has not been caught, so don't go out and show your face, what if you are targeted by the assassin last night?" ”

Chu Fang was terrified when she thought of last night's incident, she was knocked unconscious silently, and she didn't feel it at all. This time it was a fluke, but who dares to guarantee that they will be able to escape death next time?

"Why are you so timid?" Dong Linzhi said, "With me, can't you protect your young lady?" ”

It's really hard to say.

Chu Fang served tea and said to Li Guan with a smile: "Miss is hungry, the slave will let the kitchen bring lunch." ”

Li Wan nodded.

Dong Linzhi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was not noisy, so he stared at Li Wan directly, and Li Guan felt furious in his heart, so he had no choice but to agree to go out to eat with him.

Dong Linzhi took Li Guan to a small restaurant in the downtown area, the store was very small, but it was very clean.

Seeing Li Guan raise his eyes and look around, Dong Linzhi smiled and said, "It's the first time you've come to this kind of place, right?" ”

"Well, how did you know about this store?"

This kind of ordinary small restaurant doesn't look like his Dong Sanye's style.

Dong Linzhi grinned: "Xiao Ye is not the kind of person who doesn't enter a big restaurant, he usually gets together with my friends on the rivers and lakes, and the most common thing to enter is this kind of inconspicuous restaurant and roadside stall." Don't say it, the food here is not bad at all except for the big restaurants! ”

Saying that, he called the boss to order food, and he was familiar with the way, and he did look like a veteran.

Li Guan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
