Xu Lao didn't answer and asked, "I heard that General Gu's serious illness was cured by a snack called spicy strips?"

Gu Tianzhen nodded without hesitation, there is nothing to hide about this matter, not to mention, the news has already spread.

"Then the shop that sells spicy noodles has been looted, this is ...... General Gu doesn't care?" Xu Lao narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Gu Tianzhen, although his tone was gentle, everyone could hear the majesty contained in it.

"And this?!"

Gu Tianzhen exclaimed, he kind of understood the intention of Xu Lao here, but he didn't know what this matter had to do with Xu Lao?

How can you invite him to the old man's house?

"This is the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and just yesterday, his pharmacy was ransacked. Shopkeeper Li, tell them about it. ”

Xu Lao pointed at Li Wancai, and then sat down calmly and drank tea.

"General Gu is good!

Li Wancai hurriedly bowed and saluted, and when he saw Gu Tianzhen, his body couldn't help but tremble.

This is a big man from above!

He is the general of the Tianchen Kingdom who has won a hundred battles!

A low-level person like Li Wancai didn't understand the intricate relationships at the top at all, and just based on what he usually heard, he subconsciously thought that Gu Tianzhen was a famous general...... It should be a little higher than Xu Lao's, right?

But when he saw Elder Xu's casual, leisurely and calm attitude towards Gu Tianzhen, he understood...... I was wrong!

What kind of thigh hug is the boss looking for him?

It's so thick and big......

"It's you!"

Only then did Gu Qingshan recognize Li Wancai, his previous attention had been on Xu Lao, and he didn't see that there was another person next to him.

"It's the villain. ”

Li Wancai nodded respectfully, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, it seemed that Gu Gongzi hadn't forgotten himself.

"Your shop was robbed? Who did it? Didn't you report General Gu's name?"

Gu Qingshan asked three questions in a row, and it could be seen that his expression was very anxious.

Not only because of the guilt and embarrassment of being held accountable by Xu Lao, but more importantly, because of the anger and anger of being ignored by General Gu.

is obviously his life-saving benefactor, but in the end he was robbed?

If this is spread, it will only undermine their prestige.

Li Wancai had already prepared a draft in his stomach on the way here, and although he was a little nervous, he still managed to explain the matter concisely.

Half an hour later.

"Therefore, the villain and Elder Xu came to the door this time, just hoping that General Gu could help the villain find the identity of the bully......"

After Li Wancai finished the last sentence, he silently stepped aside and stared at General Gu intently.

The hearts of Gu Tianzhen and Gu Qingshan, father and son, were extremely shocked!

What shocked them was not that someone dared to rob the store, but that the god named Wu Fan

Secret Boss ...... Can you even invite Xu Lao?

What is the relationship between him and Xu Lao?

You must know how many noble children want to climb into the relationship with Xu Lao, but they are all rejected and there is no way out!

However, seeing Xu Lao drinking tea without saying a word, it is estimated that even if he asks him, he will not tell himself.

Gu Tianzhen came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "It's a coincidence that you guys are here! I just got the news: Lord Du, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was poisoned to death by spicy strips yesterday! And the person who sent the spicy strips...... It is Zhao Qinghua, the son of the Ministry of Rites!"

"What? poisoned? impossible!"

Li Wancai was the first to jump out, he couldn't help but exclaim, and when he realized that everyone was looking at him, he shrank his neck and retreated.

Although he found Xu Lao yesterday, it was too late at that time, and Xu Lao still had some things to do, so they simply decided to come to General Gu again today.

Coincidentally, the Alchemist Association generally does not pay attention to the bureaucratic circle of the Tianchen Kingdom, they all pay attention to news related to alchemy, so it is normal for Xu Lao and Li Wancai not to know about the servants of the Ministry of Officials.

"Gu naturally knows that this spicy strip is non-toxic, after all, Gu can only save his life by relying on it! But the news that Gu heard was spread like this, and it is estimated that there is any misunderstanding in it......" Gu Tianzhen explained.

He didn't mean it to Li Wancai, but specifically explained it to Xu Lao.

In a sense, Wu Fan is his savior......

So for Li Wancai, don't be too polite.

"Who released the news?" asked Elder Xu.

Gu Tianzhen: "This news was said by Mrs. Du herself, and she also said that she would definitely ask Zhao Qinghua for an explanation!"

"Interesting, interesting!"

Elder Xu suddenly laughed twice, and then asked, "How is General Gu going to solve this matter?"

When Gu Tianzhen heard this, he pondered for a long time, he knew that this was Xu Lao testing himself.

According to Xu Lao's status, after learning the identity of the robber, he can deal with it by himself without asking his opinion.

But since Xu Lao asked now, it means that he still respects his own ideas.

However, if he fails to give a satisfactory answer, presumably Xu Lao will not do what he says, and in the end he will come forward to solve it himself.

If he left a bad impression on Xu Lao because of this incident, he would have no place to cry!

Gu Tianzhen is the great general of the Tianchen Kingdom, but he is also a great war division!

Since he is a warrior, then his cultivation will inevitably require pills.

And in the entire Shengchen City, the largest concentration of pills is naturally the Alchemist Association.

I offended Xu Lao, and I want to buy pills in the future, I'm afraid the price will ......

What's more, this matter is already related to his own life-saving benefactor, and if he can't show a positive and valuable attitude to deal with it, his prestige will be greatly reduced.

"With Gu Mou, I saw it, first go to the Langzhong Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to arrest Zhao Qinghua, and then take it

He went to the Mansion of the Ministry of Officials to confront him face to face, find out the matter of Lord Du being poisoned, see if there was any misunderstanding, and finally let Zhao Qinghua double the compensation and punish according to the law!"

Gu Tianzhen said what he thought, and then looked at Xu Lao with some trepidation.

His approach is very good, which can not only allow Zhao Qinghua to get the punishment he deserves, but also clarify whether the spicy strips are poison or not, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Xu Lao nodded faintly, indicating affirmation.

Gu Tianzhen was overjoyed in his heart, and he couldn't care about other things, so he directly took everyone to the Langzhong Mansion of the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, Zhao He, the Ministry of Rites, had just finished listening to the foolish things that his son Zhao Qinghua had done.

"Bang!"

He angrily crushed the teacup, and pointed at Zhao Qinghua with trembling fingers, looking distressed.

"Bastard, look at the good things you have done! You even dare to rob the medicine shop of General Gu's life-saving benefactor, why don't you go to heaven?"

Zhao He didn't realize that he had just scolded a classic quote from Lan Xing.

Zhao Qinghua was frightened by his father's angry appearance, and he shrank weakly in a corner, for fear that he would suffer a beating.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how much he messed around, his father would not scold him so harshly, and generally touched his head dotingly, and laughed and scolded 'little bastard'.

But he didn't expect that today's father would be unusually angry and furious!

"Father...... General Gu shouldn't care about such idle things......"

Zhao Qinghua poked his head out and said weakly.

"Alas~"

Zhao He sat down with a dejected face, sighed, and his eyes dimmed a lot.

"You don't understand! General Gu is a ...... He is known for his kindness and retribution! And he keeps his promise very seriously, and if he says it, he will definitely do it! Even, he is so jealous and hateful that he has long been tired of us officials who can only enjoy happiness in the Holy City......"

Hearing this, Zhao Qinghua's face suddenly turned green, and he hurriedly said, "Then what should I do......?

Zhao He shook his head and sighed: "This is just General Gu's side, don't forget, Lord Du was poisoned by you! He is a third-grade official and a minister of the court, and even His Majesty has to ask about his death! You...... No matter what happens this time, it's hard to protect itself......"

Zhao Qinghua was almost desperate, in the face of life and death, he was no longer afraid of how his father would punish him, he quickly crawled to his father's lap and begged: "Woo woo...... The child knew he was wrong...... He also asked the father to save the child...... Father ......"

There was a thick cry in his voice, and he looked very pitiful.

Zhao He's heart softened, although Zhao Qinghua broke through a catastrophe, he was still his own child after all!

He clenched his fists, patted Zhao Qinghua's shoulder, and said firmly: "Don't be afraid! Father will definitely do his best to help you......"
