Chapter 218: Dog eats dog
"I, this ...... It's a bit out of place. After that, the White Dragon Envoy wanted to see Gu Chenghan, "My lord, if you want to know about the famine, just send me and Yu Linglong to see it, it's really not appropriate for you to go over and Zhen in person, right?" ”
"Yes, you don't have to worry, the adults' martial arts are strong, I am not a general, we will not have an accident, this time is not only to see the situation of the hungry people, but also to see the Zhang family, I hope to find clues." Zhen Chutian saw that everyone didn't agree with Gu Chenghan's words, so he stepped forward to explain to everyone.
Although Gu Chenghan had never told Zhen Chutian in advance that he was going to the famine, the two of them seemed to have already tacitly agreed to it.
Gu Chenghan was very satisfied with Zhen Chutian's words, got up and looked at everyone, "It's so decided, let's leave tomorrow." ”
walked away in a dashing manner, and when he walked to the entrance of the front hall, he coughed, "Zhen, come here." ”
"Huh?" Zhen Chutian was suddenly named, suddenly a little confused, and looked at Gu Chenghan with puzzled black eyes.
Seeing that Zhen Chutian couldn't come, a touch of unhappiness appeared on Gu Chenghan's handsome face, "Zhen Chutian." ”
"My lord, I'm here." Zhen Chutian lifted her skirt and walked quickly behind Gu Chenghan.
Originally, Zhen Chutian thought that Gu Chenghan was in a hurry, but after she came over, he didn't say anything, just looked her up and down, and then turned around and left.
This inexplicable wave made Zhen Chutian a little dazed?
didn't dare to slack off and follow closely, and when the two of them came out of the front hall of the yamen, Gu Chenghan slowed down, "You go and clean up, remember to dress up in disguise, and now go to the tailor's shop to choose a few suitable men's clothes." ”
"Yes, sir."
Going to a place as chaotic and complicated as the famine, Zhen Chutian naturally can't wear women's clothes, and the two of them can't wear them very well, with the fabric on their bodies, it's not enough.
You must know that if you are hungry, you can do anything.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian felt that this trip should be difficult, but she was not afraid.
The two of them went straight to the tailor's shop, but they didn't expect to meet the fourth lady, at this time she actually had the leisure to come over to buy clothes, and she was really big-hearted.
The fourth lady pointed to the clothes, "Bring them to me, I'm going to try them." ”
"Yes, ma'am." When the shopkeeper saw that the big one was coming, he smiled with folds on his face.
is really a person who sees money, Zhen Chutian shook his head slightly, looked at Gu Chenghan and said, "My lord, do you say that these four ladies are big-hearted or brainless?" ”
"It doesn't matter, why care." Gu Chenghan didn't care, he didn't even look at the fourth lady, and then came directly to the shopkeeper, raised his chin, "Choose a few suitable men's clothes for her." ”
"Yes, sir, please inside." The shopkeeper first looked at Zhen Chutian, and then looked at Gu Chenghan and smiled thoughtfully.
I don't know why the shopkeeper's smile made Zhen Chutian think a lot, and he was a little embarrassed.
But on the other hand, Gu Chenghan didn't react at all, she just thought too much about herself.
When Zhen Chutian tried on clothes, he happened to meet the fourth lady, but he didn't want the fourth lady to panic, as if he didn't want to see Zhen Chutian.
Zhen Chutian, who didn't think much about it, was made by the expression of the fourth lady and wanted to know what she was doing.
Zhen Chutian, who is the best at the art of punishing the heart, how could he not make good use of it, "The fourth lady is so interested, there are two dead people in the house, you can be so leisurely, I admire it very much." ”
Although the words were not provocative, the tone was full of doubts, and even a hint of cynicism.
Zhen Chutian naturally understands the fourth lady, and it is not difficult to judge by her behavior, she is a reckless person, such a person will naturally not be credited with scheming, if it was the two young ladies she killed, then she would have already revealed her flaws by now.
It was Zhen Chutian who naturally didn't regard him as a murderer, but she must know something.
"You, what do you mean by this, can't I come out to buy clothes, is it true that there are dead people in our house, and we have to follow the dead air?" The fourth lady's retort was quite fast.
"Well, what the fourth lady said is right, it's my villain's heart, but I wonder if this murderer is as big as you?" Zhen Chutian looked at the fourth lady thoughtfully.
Speaking of the murderer, the fourth lady's eyes sank, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's boring, it's just talking."
"You, you don't doubt me, do you?" The fourth lady looked at Zhen Chutian in a panic.
Zhen Chutian knew that such a simple-headed person couldn't help but threaten, as long as she was a little threatened, she would not admit herself.
Seeing the fourth lady like this, Zhen Chutian was very satisfied, "It depends on whether you are the real murderer." ”
"I'm certainly not a murderer." The fourth lady replied nervously.
"Fourth lady, you are very suspicious now, do you know?" Zhen Chutian looked at the fourth lady with an oath.
These words frightened the fourth lady, and her eyes were fixed on Zhen Chutian, "My lord, don't scare me, I really didn't kill anyone." ”
"Okay, even if I believe you, there has to be proof? Who do you say is the murderer, and do you have proof that you are not the murderer? Zhen Chutian looked helpless.
The fourth lady was in a hurry now, and pulled Zhen Chutian to explain in a hurry: "My lord, I really didn't kill anyone, but I have a clue." ”
took the bait, Zhen Chutian waited for the fourth lady to say such a thing when no one was around, but she was not in a hurry to let the fourth lady answer.
"Really? Fourth Madame, I warn you, you can't make it up out of thin air because you want to get rid of your suspicion, you must know that in that case the yamen will still arrest you. Zhen Chutian looked at the fourth lady with a swear.
The fourth lady shook her head, and then explained desperately: "No, of course I won't lie. ”
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Zhen Chutian looked at the fourth lady with some embarrassment, as if it was a little difficult to hear her say these words.
The fourth lady was frightened by Zhen Chutian's appearance, and felt that this opportunity was not easy to come by, so she said nervously: "My lord, on the night the second miss died, I saw the third miss out of the house. ”
"Where did the third lady go when she left the house?"
Zhen Chutian was originally suspicious of the third lady, but now with the words of the fourth lady, it seems that all this has become reasonable, no, suddenly realized something, she frowned and stared at the fourth lady.
"Where to go, I don't know, I just saw her coming out of the yard, and I knew that she wasn't at ease when she looked at her sneakily." The fourth lady's eyebrows and eyes showed her dissatisfaction with the third lady undoubtedly.
So at this time, the fourth lady didn't see Zhen Chutian's eyes at all, and her questioning gaze was not friendly.
After the fourth lady finished speaking, she didn't hear Zhen Chutian's answer, so she looked at her.
As soon as she came into contact with Zhen Chutian's eyes, the fourth lady trembled with fright, and in the eyes of a woman, she saw perseverance and disbelief, that kind of disbelief is in your bones, so that you can't lie in front of her at all.
Seeing the fourth lady's timid retreat, Zhen Chutian raised his head, "Say, what are you doing?" ”
"I, I didn't do anything, I just, just got up at night, can't I get up at night?" The fourth lady was adamant that she didn't admit that she had anything to do with the murder, and she didn't say what she was doing that night.
Of course, Zhen Chutian knew that she was lying, but now that time was pressing, she also knew that the fourth lady would not tell the truth for a while, so at this time, Zhen Chutian decided to come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and when she and Gu Chenghan came back from the famine, she didn't believe that she couldn't catch the murderer.
The fourth lady fled in a panic, Zhen Chutian did not chase after her, but Gu Chenghan saw this scene, and after she came out in men's clothes, she asked, "What did you say, what does she look like?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that she saw that the third miss went out on the night the second miss died, and she herself couldn't tell what she was doing at night, eighty percent of it was related to the baby, let Brother Yu keep an eye on it, and soon they showed their flaws." After Zhen Chutian finished speaking, he didn't forget to let Gu Chenghan see how his clothes were.
"Well, that's it, just have a few bodies." Gu Chenghan nodded to Zhen Chutian, and then asked the owner of the store to follow this style of other clothes.
It was already two hours before I got my clothes and I was getting dressed, and by this time the twilight was falling, and the townspeople were preparing dinner, and everyone was smiling and seemed very satisfied with their present life.
Seeing them, Zhen Chutian thought of the hungry people in the famine.
Although I have never experienced famine, it is not difficult to imagine how uncomfortable it must be to not have a full stomach or even eat after a short eclipse.
For them, the torment is not only physical, but also mental.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian's face was a little ugly.
Seeing Zhen Chutian like this, Gu Chenghan thought something was wrong with her, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, I'm hungry."
Zhen Chutian didn't want his mood to affect Gu Chenghan, so he barely squeezed out a smile.
Seeing that Zhen Chutian didn't want to say anything, Gu Chenghan didn't ask anymore.
When the two arrived at the Yamen, they went directly to rest after dinner.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Linglong and the others had already been waiting in the front hall, and they had prepared all the things that Gu Chenghan could use on this trip, so when Zhen Chutian saw the bags full of two bags, she was directly dumbfounded.
Blinked, pointed to his bag and looked at Yu Linglong, "Brother Yu, who is this for?" ”
"You and your lords, you are going to the famine, where there is no food, you don't bring more, I'm afraid you will have to suffer some hardships." Yu Linglong looked at Zhen Chutian with an oath.
Hearing Yu Linglong's words, Zhen Chutian was powerless to fight back, but a thought flashed in his heart, "Can these things last an hour?" No, it should be said that you will be robbed as soon as you arrive in the famine, right? ”
"Yu Linglong, didn't you just prepare some clothes?" As soon as Gu Chenghan came in, he also saw these things, and immediately frowned and looked at Yu Linglong.
"My lord, you haven't suffered a ......."
"You are confused, does this have anything to do with whether the official has suffered or not? Where are you going to let the hungry people snatch these things, did Zhen Chutian and I go to carry things for the hungry people? Wouldn't that be all there was to it? ”
