Chapter 123: Reaching a Strategic Agreement
Rong Zhao felt like a little resentful woman who had been in the boudoir for a long time, and the resentment in his heart had to be solved with a small fist. And Gu Yanhuo is like a husband who is only on business, and when the two have an argument, he will only ask him if he is calm.
Compared with the two in this way, it seems that he is indeed inferior to Gu Yanhuo.
Gu Yanhuo put the saber heavily on the table, and the air pressure around him was low. Although he acquiesced to the fact that they could take Gu Yusheng away, it was also he who acquiesced to the punch that Rong Zhao threw at him. But that didn't stop him from being in a bad mood.
Hai Dafu is really getting more and more arrogant, and he dares to let people take Gu Yusheng away in front of him, which is simply impatient. He doesn't exert his power, he really thinks he's a sick cat. And Rong Zhao, he didn't give him a stumbling block, and he still thinks he can get on the throne?
Touching the corners of his broken mouth, Gu Yanhuo glanced coldly at Rong Zhao, who had calmed down and was obviously a little weak-hearted.
"This punch just now, the force is good." Gu Yanhuo raised his eyebrows and commented.
Rong Zhao coughed awkwardly, embarrassed to speak.
He was indeed a little impulsive just now, this punch didn't pass his brain at all, and when he saw Gu Yanhuo being taken away, he felt an inexplicable fire in his heart. But after calming down afterwards, I felt that Gu Yanhuo should not be so laissez-faire. On weekdays, he called Gu Yusheng a sentence, and he had to be taken care of by him for a long time, and everyone else had done something to her, but he still didn't care about himself, and he must be tired.
Rong Zhao sat down and put on a posture ready to talk: "Let's talk about my plans." ”
"I didn't plan to."
Rong Zhao was choked by these words, and almost threw another punch again, but thinking that Gu Yanhuo should not be more generous this time, he forcibly held back his fist: "I don't believe that you can just watch them take Ah Sheng away, and you won't let them go free." ”
"Why not." Gu Yanhuo took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, like a brother from a rich family sipping tea, "I'm a wolf." ”
Rong Zhao was deflated again: "I don't count this punch on you." It's okay to owe you a personal favor. ”
The corners of Gu Yanhuo's mouth rose, and he said, "Find Gu Yanlin first." ”
Rong Zhao was puzzled: "What about me?" ”
"You look for Gu Yanlin." Gu Yanhuo said calmly.
Rong Zhao pointed at Gu Yanhuo again: "What about you." ”
"Find Gu Yanlin." Seeing Rong Zhao's expression of eating flies, the man raised his eyebrows and asked mockingly, "Otherwise, you should be able to find Gu Yanlin alone?" ”
Rong Zhao took a cool breath and retorted, "You know that I didn't mean that!" The two of us went to find Gu Yanlin, so who will save Ah Sheng? Shangguan Yunyang? is not related to him, he is still Xu Lang's subordinate, why should he help us save people. ”
"No one is going to save her." Gu Yanhuo's expression was as indifferent as usual. It's like casually mentioning that the weather is really good after dinner.
Rong Zhao slapped the table with his big palm, and saw that the tea in the teacup shook three times.
Gu Yanhuo looked up at him, this kid's strength has been good lately. The force of this slap on the table is not small.
Gu Yanhuo was afraid that his popularity would be a bad thing, and he would have to bring more burdens, so he hurriedly pressed his big palm on Rong Zhao's shoulder: "If you have something to say, sit down first." ”
Rong Zhao sat down as he said, but unwillingly fell on the table: "Gu Yanhuo, you really leave Ah Sheng alone." ”
He didn't want to tell Rong Zhao, and even thought about how to send people back to the imperial city. However, if he didn't make it clear to Rong Zhao, he would probably have to go to the official mansion and rob the prison without permission.
Gu Yanhuo explained: "It's not necessarily a bad thing that she's in the hands of the government now. ”
"How?" Rong Zhao asked after a rare calmdown.
"Our relationship with Haifengzhuang is not optimistic now, and it can be said that we are in the open and in the dark. We have to look into the case in the open, but they can do small things behind the scenes. This is too unfavorable for us, just like the situation we met last night, even if I was there, I couldn't protect her and let her..."Gu Yanhuo's expression suddenly became a little ruthless, "If the next time we meet someone is not alone, two fists are invincible to four hands, and whether we can retreat with our whole body is a question mark." ”
Rong Zhao nodded, agreeing with his idea. But he turned his head and asked, "But Ah Sheng is in their hands, will they hurt her?" ”
Gu Yanhuo shook his head: "Not for the time being." Before they had a stable backer, they didn't dare to move Sheng'er, after all, she was still the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye was famous, so they would always be scruples. And..."
"And?"
"Moreover, she is now being retained by the people of the government, which is much safer than going with us to find out where Gu Yanlin is." Gu Yanhuo almost guessed the meaning of Hai Dafu's every step, "If we really get a glimpse of Hai Dafu's secret, he may also jump over the wall in a hurry and break the net with us." It would be best if Sheng'er didn't come to this troubled water, but her temperament made it impossible for her to listen to persuasion. Now this result is indirectly protecting her. They won't keep her locked up for long. ”
"Why?"
"The government came to Haifengzhuang this morning to make a lot of noise, and the female relatives of the tenant family must have heard about it. The relatives of the deceased will also ask the government for an explanation. Gu Yanhuo said methodically, "We have seen those corpses, although we don't know where the fatal wounds of the corpses are, but at least we know that the time of death of the deceased should be more than seven days." The rest is fake wounds. ”
Rong Zhao took over and said, "What do you mean. If the government wants to determine the time of death last night, then there is only a fake wound on the body of Hai Dafu's fake beast bite, which has nothing to do with Ah Sheng. If it goes back to seven days ago, it has nothing to do with Ah Sheng, because she was in the imperial city at the time. So they didn't dare to treat Ah Sheng too harshly, because sooner or later they would have to release it. ”
Gu Yanhuo nodded, the son can be taught.
"What does it mean to be rich? He is such a shrewd person, and it is difficult to even justify himself by framing Ah Sheng in such a way. What is the picture, just to let them take Ah Sheng away? ”
Gu Yanhuo rubbed the stubble on his chin and said, "He probably hopes that we can be distracted by this." ”
Gu Yanhuo continued: "He saw how important Sheng'er was to us. If something happens to her, we will definitely take our eyes off Hai Dafu. So even if the government can't keep her for a few days, Hai Dafu will make such a thing, in order to be able to delay it for a while. ”
"Do you think he dragged on all this time because of Gu Yanlin?"
Gu Yanhuo nodded and said in a deep voice: "With the temper of the Liu clan, if Gu Yanlin had an accident a long time ago, she would never have reported the matter to the imperial city at this time." So the time of Gu Yanlin's accident. It should be similar to the dead we found, maybe at the same time. ”
Rong Zhao nodded unconsciously.
I only heard Gu Yanhuo continue: "But we also looked at it, and there was no Gu Yanlin among the three corpses that were buried. Why wasn't he there? ”
Rong Zhao thought for a while and returned: "Maybe there is something in Gu Yanlin that can prove who the murderer is, and he can't show it to others openly." ”
"Hmm." Gu Yanhuo agreed, "This is a possibility. There is another possibility - maybe Gu Yanlin got a glimpse of Hai Dafu's secret, but Hai Dafu didn't dare to kill him for some reason, so he was still alive. The living are difficult to control, and a living person who can speak well may shake out all his crimes. So he had to imprison him, wait for Gu Yanlin's last bargaining chip, and then kill him. So our top priority is to find Gu Yanlin. ”
Rong Zhao looked him in the eye: "But where do we start." I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter Haifengzhuang again. ”
"He's not going to keep this kind of character who can explode anytime and anywhere with him." Gu Yanhuo thought for a while and said, "Let's start with the man who dug up the body yesterday." I always felt that something was wrong. I'm afraid that person is not the person who is rich in the sea. ”
Rong Zhao said that he knew.
Gu Yanhuo instructed again: "There is also the government side to check, Hai Dafu and the government, the officials and bandits collude will definitely have a chain of interests, find out this chain, and then break it." It may be easier to deal with Hai Dafu again. ”
"Who do you want to go?" Rong Zhao frowned, and his eyes were biased towards Shangguan Yunyang's house.
He still remembered that Gu Yanhuo said that Xu Lang already wanted to move Gu Yusheng, and this may be the beginning.
Gu Yanhuo shook his head darkly, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry about this matter, Yunyang will help us." After lunch, I will go to the government to investigate the situation again, and you and Yunyang hurry up to find Gu Yanlin. ”
Rong Zhao saw Gu Yanhuo touch the jade pendant on his waist. It was clear for a moment, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded emphatically.
