Chapter 231: Passerby
At this time, Zhen Chutian also learned from the eldest lady that today is Baihua Street, and the lights of thousands of homes will last until midnight.
After sending the eldest lady away, Zhen Chutian turned around and Gu Chenghan was already in front of her.
Perhaps Gu Chenghan didn't expect Zhen Chutian to turn around, and the two of them were caught off guard and got very close.
Nan Hong pulled Han Shuangyi to see that the two of them were almost face-to-face, pursed her lips and smiled, and then looked at Song Jiang, "Brother Song, why are you here?" ”
"Master Gu, I'm worried that Chu Tian is alone, so we came over." Song Jiang looked at Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian playfully.
Hearing Song Jiang's words, Gu Chenghan turned around sharply and met his smiling eyes, "Isn't it, Lord Gu?" ”
It's rare that Gu Chenghan didn't refute, Song Jiang thought of the wording of the reply, but he didn't give it a chance.
"Master Gu, naturally care about Chu Tian, you must know that our group, only Chu Tian and Master Gu are the ones who can understand each other's thoughts without saying a word." Nan Hong looked at Zhen Chutian with some envy.
It's not that I envy Zhen Chutian's relationship with Gu Chenghan, but I just envy her for having such a compatible person.
Zhen Chutian's face turned red when Nan Hong said, and he lowered his head and touched Han Shuangyi's head to relieve his embarrassment.
"Okay, don't be poor, let's hurry up and see how many flowers there are on this Baihua Street." After Nan Hong finished speaking, he pulled Han Shuangyi and went with the crowd.
Song Jiang followed closely, leaving Zhen Chutian alone with Gu Chenghan.
The two looked at each other, did not speak, and walked forward.
"Adult ......"
"Chu Tian ......"
At the same time, Zhen Chutian pursed his lips and smiled, "My lord, you speak first." ”
"Just now the prefect came to the inn and said that the eldest prince has completely lost his mind, like a child, and will be beheaded tomorrow." Gu Chenghan said to Zhen Chutian with an expressionless face.
Zhen Chutian fell into deep thought, if he could choose, would the eldest prince still kill those people?
It's been so many years, but he killed his loved ones for his obsession, although he wasn't biological, but whether it was the second master Zhang or those concubines, the custom was just to laugh at him and wash him, and the crime was not to death, right?
Seeing Zhen Chutian so low, Gu Chenghan knew that she was a little sorry, and coughed, "Don't be sorry, the wicked have their own evil retribution, this is reincarnation." ”
"Hmm."
Good times can't be disturbed by inconsequential people, Zhen Chutian no longer thinks about the eldest son, and strolls along Baihua Street with Gu Chenghan.
This should be the most flowers they have ever seen in their lives.
Looking at the strange flowers, it seems that the mood has also improved.
People came and went, Zhen Chutian was hit directly without paying attention, she didn't pay attention because she didn't react at the moment, and she was about to fall to the ground, she closed her eyes resignedly, but the pain she felt didn't come for a long time, but fell into a gentle object.
Slowly opened his eyes, just in front of Gu Chenghan's talking eyes.
Zhen Chutian blinked his eyes, seeing that he was in Gu Chenghan's arms, and the people around him all smiled when they saw them so ambiguous, especially Han Shuangyi's kid, who covered his mouth with his hands at this time, as if he had discovered something big, and smiled.
"Sister Chu Tian." After saying this, Han Shuangyi was actually shy and blindfolded.
What's so unsightly about this, it's just that Gu Chenghan saved her from almost falling, Zhen Chutian didn't feel embarrassed himself, but now he was a little embarrassed by Nan Hong and Song Jiang's eyes.
"Thank you, sir."
"Be careful." Gu Chenghan frowned, as if he was a little annoyed.
Zhen Chutian was puzzled, he didn't let him save people, of course it was a good thing that he saved himself, but where did he get this anger?
"If the official is not here today, and you really fall, what should I do?" Although Gu Chenghan said it very quietly, Zhen Chutian still heard it.
Was he angry because she almost had an accident?
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian's heart was somewhat melted.
didn't say much and continued to enjoy the flowers, until Han Shuangyi fell asleep, and then returned to the inn.
As soon as a few people arrived at the inn, they saw Yu Linglong tired and about to enter the house, and when they saw Gu Chenghan, he came to his senses, "My lord, I can be arrested tomorrow, it's the thief who is right, he has already made a statement, and now the white dragon envoy is staring." ”
"Okay, you go and rest."
Before Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian went to the famine land, according to their analysis, the biggest suspect was investigated, and Yu Linglong had been looking for evidence during this time.
In fact, Second Master Zhang's baby was betrayed by the Fourth Lady, but Zhen Chutian hasn't told Second Master Zhang yet, maybe he thinks that there are too many things happening in their family, and if there is one more thing, I'm really afraid that they won't be able to hold on.
Thinking about it like this, Zhen Chutian felt that as long as he found the baby, it didn't matter if he said it or not.
"Chu Tian, how did you lock the thief?"
"It's very simple, the first person to steal the treasure always has a few opponents, as long as you stare at those people, you will definitely be able to find clues, if it is not these people, then it must be the closest person around him, because only these people can know that he is stealing the baby."
After speaking, Zhen Chutian smiled knowingly, patted Nan Hong, and directly let her rest.
Song Jiang was also sleepy, and took Han Shuangyi back to the house.
Only Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan were left in the corridor, the two leaned over slightly, and she was the first to speak, "My lord, I'll go and rest first, and you should rest early." ”
"Okay."
This night, it seems that everyone is thinking about their own business, but it can be regarded as a good night's sleep.
The next morning, when I woke up, I got news that the disaster relief money had arrived in the town.
"Brother Yu, you and Brother Bai will go to pick up the people from the imperial court, and Master Gu and I will go to find the thief." Zhen Chutian felt that the baby was important, so it was better to find the baby first, anyway, the people in the court couldn't run away.
"My lord, is this appropriate?" Yu Linglong frowned slightly, feeling that it was most appropriate for Gu Chenghan to greet the people of the imperial court.
When Yu Linglong looked at Gu Chenghan, he glanced at Zhen Chutian, and then said to Yu Linglong: "Who did the imperial court send this time?" ”
"It seems to be a mansion!" Yu Linglong looked at Gu Chenghan, I don't know why he asked this.
"Fucheng?" Zhen Chutian didn't expect it to be Fu Cheng, she didn't want Gu Chenghan to greet her, but she was afraid that the other party would be those old and rotten henchmen, but she didn't expect to let Fu Cheng come over.
It is true that Fu Cheng is an old stubborn faction, but after all, he is the son-in-law of the old prime minister, and the old prime minister is still a party of the empress.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian's face became a little ugly, and he looked at Gu Chenghan on the side, "Master Gu, this is too much of a coincidence, right?" ”
"Well, it's a bit of a coincidence, Yu Linglong, you and the White Dragon Envoy went to greet you, and we went to find the thief." After saying that, Gu Chenghan didn't give Yu Linglong a chance to refuse, and left the inn directly with Zhen Chutian.
"Ah, sir." Yu Linglong shouted several times in the back, but Gu Chenghan didn't pay attention to him, so he had no choice but to look at the white dragon envoy, "Do you say this is appropriate?" ”
"Adults say it's appropriate, then it's appropriate, let's go, don't wait." The White Dragon Envoy would not think about it so much, so that he could directly drag Yu Linglong to the entrance of the town to greet the people of the imperial court.
After leaving the inn, Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan went straight to the thief's den.
In fact, they wanted to make a quick decision, and then go to the dark to observe Fu Cheng to see if he really came this time just to help the disaster.
"Your Excellency, why did you grant my request?" At the beginning of the period, he didn't want to pick up people from the imperial court, Zhen Chutian had his own concerns, but he didn't expect Gu Chenghan to be so cooperative.
"Chu Tian, aren't you doing it for the good of your own official?"
"That's right." The two looked at each other and smiled, but neither said anything more.
As soon as he arrived at the thief's den, he saw him carrying a bag and preparing to go out, and when he saw Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan, he looked panicked and looked him up and down, "Don't get in the way." ”
The thief thought that Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan were just passers-by, so he pushed them away directly after speaking, and was about to continue to run forward, but he was dragged back to the same place by Zhen Chutian as soon as he took a step.
"You, who are you, and what do you want to do?"
Although Zhen Chutian is a woman, her martial arts skills are good, and the thief knows that she is not her opponent at all.
The thief subconsciously retreated, but the more he retreated, the more aggressive Zhen Chutian became.
Seeing that the thief was about to be forced into the corner, he was really a little unwilling, his eyes were fierce and he didn't know when there was an extra knife in his hand, "Don't come here, be careful that I'm not polite to you!" ”
Seeing the thief like this, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but have a smile on her face, she couldn't understand how such a person could steal the treasure.
The man in front of him didn't look as good as the thief he had before.
With such doubts, Zhen Chutian strode forward and took the knife in the thief's hand into his hand in three or two clicks.
The thief looked at the emptiness in his hand, the whole person was frightened, his throat tightened, and he stammered and pointed at her, "Woman, woman, I'm just stealing, I didn't steal from you, right?" ”
"Not really." Zhen Chutian looked at the thief lightly.
Hearing this, the thief breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you doing here, that woman?" ”
"Take out the treasure in your baggage, and we will let you go, and we won't let this adult from the capital Tiandu Mansion let you go easily." Zhen Chutian pointed to Gu Chenghan behind him, and his sworn appearance really scared the thief.
Lizhou is very far away from the capital, especially such a small town, it is estimated that no one in this town has ever been out of Lizhou, and naturally they don't know where the capital is, but they know that the capital is the most prosperous territory, and the court officials are people they can't even think of.
was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground and looked at Gu Chenghan begging for mercy, "My lord, I was just a petty thief in the past, what do you want today?" ”
"What you stole from your peers, we want." Zhen Chutian didn't say anything, he just wanted to see if this thief would tell the truth.
"Peers?" The thief muttered, and then, as if thinking of something, his eyes widened, "You, how do you know?" ”
Zhen Chutian was not in a hurry at all, he half-bent down and looked at the thief kneeling on the ground, and said thoughtfully: "If people don't know unless they do it, I've heard of it." ”
