Chapter 382: The Truth Comes Out
It was difficult to ride a tiger, Bian Lingcheng realized that he had done a stupid thing, judging from Gu Qing's reaction to the whole city, the consequences of this stupid thing were very serious.
Until this moment, he still didn't understand why Gu Qing had such a reaction, using the government and personal guards for the sake of a businesswoman, causing a storm in the city, it was not a big deal, but his reaction was a bit big. If it is written into the music by Pei Yushi, it will be a trouble.
Obviously, he has been severely reprimanded by the Son of Heaven once, why don't you know how to restrain it?
Heartless people will never understand the weight of the word, they will only measure it by what they can see and touch, thinking that the meaning of priceless is actually cheap.
No matter how unexpected Gu Qing's reaction was, Bian Lingcheng was only glad that he didn't order to kill Huangfu Sisi that night, although he slapped her a few times, at least she was still alive, and finally left a way for herself to live.
If Huangfu Sisi died, Bian Lingcheng didn't dare to imagine what Gu Qing could do, and it was not impossible for him to pay for his life, after all, Gu Qing's reputation in Chang'an City back then was also very clear to him.
…………
Wang Gui hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights.
led fifty guards to search for the whereabouts of Huangfu Sisi in Qiuzi City, and they didn't even care about eating and sleeping, every house and shop in the city was carefully searched by them, not only did they not find Huangfu Sisi, but they didn't even hear any clues.
Wang Gui felt very frustrated, after recovering from a serious injury, the first errand given to him by Hou Ye was fruitless, and Wang Gui felt that he had failed Hou Ye's trust.
The route to search for Huangfu Sisi Wang Gui was actually carefully calculated, scattering the fifty guards in four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest, and then slowly searching towards the center of the city from the edge of the city wall in a surrounding way, it can be said that he basically did not miss any dead ends, but there was still no gain.
It was autumn, and although Qiuzi City was in the desert, it was still very cold at night.
At the newly built market in the south of the city, Wang Gui and several guards huddled in the corner of the shop, nibbling dry food, everyone looking tired and frustrated.
"Brother Gui, this errand of the Hou Ye is not easy to do, finding someone in the huge city is like looking for a needle in a haystack, teach us how to find it? It's been two days and two nights, not to mention the shadows, there are no clues, Hou Ye gave a three-day deadline, and it will be tomorrow, what should we do? One of the guards sighed with a sad face.
Wang Gui hated and took a bite of dry food, the dry food is the food of the big camp, the rice ball made of millet rice, there is a slight salty taste in it, and it is mixed with a little minced meat, the weather is cold, and the dry food is also frozen hard, and it is particularly difficult to bite.
"What a big living person, can't you fly into the sky?" Wang Gui muttered to himself, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Another guard sneered and said: "Brother Gui, you said that you finally recovered from your serious injuries, and the Hou Ye wants to reuse you and give you this errand, wouldn't you even have a future if you mess it up?" Our brothers can see that Master Hou has the intention of cultivating you, maybe he will invite you to be a meritorious official in the future, now it's okay, there is nothing. ”
Saying this, Wang Gui became more and more unwilling.
Yes, Hou Ye intends to cultivate, but he is not angry, this is unreasonable, is it destined not to be an official in this life?
No, you can't admit this fate!
Standing up suddenly, Wang Gui threw away the dry food in his hand, and his expression became violent.
"The good living person suddenly disappeared, and Lao Tzu didn't believe that he couldn't find her! Unless she really goes to heaven, as long as she is still in Qiuzi City, Lao Tzu will dig her out! ”
One of the guards interjected, "What if...... Did she sneak out of town? ”
Wang Gui thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The guy in the store said that she left in the middle of the night, and the city gate was closed in the middle of the night, if she wanted to go out of the city, she would not choose to leave in the middle of the night, and besides, the bad handsome asked the soldiers on duty at the city gate, and she didn't see the female shopkeeper go out of the city the next day, so she must still be in the city......
Saying that, Wang Gui's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly blessed his heart, and was shocked: "That's right! Guys in the shop! ”
The guards looked at him in bewilderment.
Wang Gui said excitedly: "The guys in the store must know something......
"It's a lot of effort, the bad guy has already inquired about the shopkeeper, and they all said that they didn't find any signs of anything wrong with the female shopkeeper, and they didn't see the enemy's ......."
Wang Gui sneered: "This is the biggest flaw, the people who get along with the female shopkeeper day and night are not Hou Ye, not the guests in the store, but those guys, the female shopkeeper left the inn by herself, how could the guys not notice anything abnormal?" Inexcusable! ”
After speaking, Wang Gui beckoned and said, "Let's go, let's go to the inn and ask those guys, if anyone lies, who is the breakthrough, he must know something, and there is hope for the whereabouts of the female shopkeeper." ”
Fuzhi Inn.
On weekdays, Wang Gui and other guards have been to Gu Qing many times, and they are all familiar with the shop guys, they all know each other, and sometimes they can nod and greet each other and smile friendly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gui and the others suddenly turned their faces today, and came to the door with a fierce knife, and gathered all the shop guys in the front hall when they entered the door.
Wang Gui's eyes were gloomy, like a wolf that chooses people to devour, staring at the rows of restless shopkeepers standing in front of him.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Gui said coldly: "Your shopkeeper is gone, the bad handsome of the government has asked you, you said that there is no warning, very good, I will ask again today." ”
The shopkeepers looked at each other, panicked and confused.
Wang Gui's expression was fierce, with a sinister smell on his face, and his eyes stared at the shopkeepers in front of him without blinking, not missing any slight change in expression on their faces.
"I forgot to tell you that Lord Hou gave me the right to decide, that is, when I find out who is lying, I have the right to kill him with a knife, and the government will also sit together and pursue his family, and his family will be sold into slavery, sold to the Western Regions Food Country, and used as slaves......"
The shopkeepers suddenly became more and more frightened, and a few timid ones had red eyes and were scared and cried.
"Today I came to ask you, what I want to ask is not the whereabouts of the female shopkeeper, but the matter between your shop guys, if anyone finds that someone between you has been behaving abnormally recently, or is elusive, sneaky in words and deeds, etc., you can tell me in private, or you can surrender yourself......"
"If you surrender and confess yourself, I can exempt him, if it is exposed by others, hehe, don't blame us for being ruthless, your shopkeeper is the heart of Hou Ye, if she has three long and two short, Hou Ye will inevitably pull a group of people to bury her, when the time comes, you don't shout injustice, in Guizi City, Hou Ye said that you are guilty is guilty, and there is nowhere to apply if you are wronged."
Saying that, Wang Gui waved his hand and said: "Separate these guys, detain them in different places alone, I will talk to them one by one, I repeat, this is your last chance, life and death, all between your thoughts." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Gui noticed that the legs of a young guy in the shop trembled slightly, and then quickly returned to normal, and then looked at his expression, it seemed to be no different from other guys, but his face was paler, and the horror in his eyes was more obvious than that of others.
The corners of Wang Gui's mouth hooked, and he casually pointed to a guy and said, "You, come with me, find a secluded place, and let's talk." ”
The guys were trembling and left by Wang Gui's shoulders, and the rest of the guys were also taken to different places by the guards, not allowing them to meet and confess.
…………
As soon as it was dawn, Gu Qing was woken up by Han Jie.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes and walking out of the handsome tent, Han Jie said softly: "Master Hou, Wang Gui has found out the results." ”
Gu Qing said in surprise: "Heh, this guy really has some ability, what did he find out?" Is there a whereabouts of Du Sisi? ”
Han Jie looked embarrassed and said, "The disappearance of Shopkeeper Du...... It is related to the prison army Bian Lingcheng. ”
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually became gloomy.
He has always been quite suspicious, but just based on Han Jie's words, he immediately thought of all the truth.
"Beauty tricks? Du Sisi is a pawn buried by Bian Lingcheng beside me? Gu Qing reacted sharply.
Han Jie glanced at him with admiration and said, "Yes, the shop guy at the Fuzhi Inn has recruited it, and one of the shop guys is the eyeliner that Bian Lingcheng put next to Miss Du Sisi, Wang Gui interrogated all night, and finally found out the shopkeeper from the inn, and finally involved Bian Lingcheng." ”
Gu Qing snorted and said, "Du Sisi's disappearance was done by Bian Lingcheng?" Where did he hide her? ”
Han Jie said in a low voice: "Hiding in a place that no one can think of, the Jiedu Embassy." The shopkeeper confessed that the person was alive, but he was imprisoned. ”
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "It's really dark under the lights, Bian Lingcheng is calculating." ”
Then Gu Qing said puzzledly: "It is said that I have known Du Sisi for a long time, if she was a pawn buried by Bian Lingcheng's side by my side, she should have done something unfavorable to me, such as inducing me to say some disloyal and unrighteous words, etc., so that Bian Lingcheng grabbed my handle, but why didn't she seem to have done anything......
Han Jie sighed: "Maybe she has affection for Hou Ye and doesn't want to do anything to hurt Hou Ye, this time she was imprisoned by Bian Lingcheng, and it is said that it is also related to Hou Ye......"
Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was quite complicated.
is a little relieved that she didn't see the wrong person after all, and she is really a worthy friend. I was a little disappointed that she was a pawn of the enemy.
Coming back to his senses, Gu Qing's face showed a fierce color, and he said coldly: "Bian Lingcheng can be regarded as taking the initiative to provoke me, very good." ”
Han Jie hurriedly persuaded: "Hou Ye thinks twice, the last general knows that Hou Ye is a happy and vengeful character, but Bian Lingcheng is the prison army sent by the Son of Heaven, Hou Ye must not hurt the prison army, otherwise the Son of Heaven will be ......severely punished."
Gu Qing's expression flashed a trace of hesitation, and then he said awe-inspiringly: "I have become an official to the rank of a prince, and I am considered a prince, such a high position, if I can't even protect my friends, and I can't be happy with the world's enmity, this official is too much!" ”
"Han Jie, order the guards to assemble and follow me to the Jiedu Embassy!"
