CHAPTER XVIII

There was the betrayal of Liu Jing and Aunt Ma before, and Qu Muge couldn't believe Xu Baoru now.

Xu Baoru was embarrassed: "The general went to the city to do business, but he couldn't come back for a while." Don't worry, you are safe in the small courtyard, and if there is anything, send me to do the same. ”

"No, none of you will come in until the general returns!" Qu Muge shook his head, let Xu Baoru go out, and then locked himself in the room.

Xu Baoru stood outside the door, a little at a loss.

He glanced at one of the brothers standing in the courtyard and beckoned.

This is the soldier on the secret post of Hongye Mountain, Feng Hu, it was he who found out that Chen Heng and Ma had knocked Qu Muge unconscious outside the small courtyard, so he shot Chen Heng and Ma Shi with arrows and saved Qu Muge.

"You go into the city quickly and tell the general about the matter here, just say that Miss Ye is in a bad mood now, and she locks herself in the room, I'm afraid she won't be able to find a short-term view!"

The soldiers hurried down the mountain, and Xu Baoru put his ear to the door, and the intermittent crying inside made him anxious.

When he saw Qu Muge, she was in good clothes and didn't suffer much loss. This little thing scared her into crying again, and she didn't dare to see anyone, the little girl was so squeamish!

In the back hall of the Jinling Yamen, Lord Zhao of Jinling sat in the high hall, Gu Nanye accompanied Mrs. Gu to sit in the left column, and Master Gu was supported by two housekeepers, half lying in the Taishi chair in the right column.

The Gu family's mountain-like deeds and account books were piled up in the middle, and several masters were taking inventory, except for the impact of the abacus beads, there was no sound here.

Zhao Taishou sat quietly in his seat, but there were many thoughts in his heart.

A discerning person can see at a glance that Master Gu was coerced and had to hand over his property for the sake of his life, but everyone was afraid of Gu Nanye's power and didn't dare to ask.

The Yong Dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety, he has never seen such a relationship between father and father, son and son, if someone impeaches Gu Nanye for human affairs, the matter of the son taking his father's property will definitely be investigated, then he will also be implicated.

Zhao Taishou was uneasy in his heart, even if he wanted to slap Gu Nanye, he couldn't do anything too reckless.

So, he cleared his throat and asked Master Gu: "Master Gu, after the masters check the account books clearly, and these documents are stamped with the official seal, the Gu family's property will be handed over to your wife, have you thought clearly?" ”

Master Gu's slightly closed eyes opened, and he didn't look at Master Zhao, but looked at Gu Nanye.

Gu Nanye frowned slightly and watched the masters count the accounts, as if he thought they were too slow.

didn't hear Master Gu speak, Gu Nanye suddenly asked, "Father, Lord Zhao asked if you had thought it through." ”

Master Gu began to pant when he heard his voice, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Here you go, it's all for you!" ”

The corners of Gu Nanye's mouth hooked slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Taishou: "Lord Zhao, can you hear clearly?" ”

"Clear! Clear! Zhao Taishou was chilled by his eyes, and explained: "It's just a routine question......

Zhao Taishou wiped the sweat from his head, blaming himself for being too cautious, he couldn't even take care of his old man, what else did he do?

The back hall was quiet again, and soon Feng Hu rushed over and whispered beside Gu Nanye: "General, something happened to Miss Ye......

Gu Nanye let out an "um" and motioned for him to continue.

Feng Hu glanced at Lord Zhao, lowered his voice again, and said in a low voice: "Chen Heng bought the Ma family in the kitchen and almost kidnapped Miss Ye. Now the two have been arrested, but Miss Ye is frightened and locks herself in her room, only willing to see you. Captain Xu's repeated comforts didn't work, and he was worried that Miss Ye wouldn't be able to think about it, so he asked his subordinates to report it. ”

Gu Nanye pressed his hand on the arm of the chair heavily, and everyone at the scene was shocked, and they didn't know which one had provoked this Hades with no eyes.

Mrs. Gu looked at her son and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Nanye didn't want his mother to worry, so he shook his head and said, "For small things, mother doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Gu Nanye called a general named "Fan Washui" and instructed him to accompany Mrs. Gu to complete the matter here.

He wanted to leave early, so Zhao Taishou got up and sent him outside the yamen.

After Gu Nanye turned over on his horse, he looked down at Zhao Taishou and said, "I brought Jiaci to Lord Zhao to do business today, but your wife and uncle came to my courtyard as a guest, so unfortunate, I don't know if I discussed it with my lord?" ”

Lord Zhao looked confused at first, and when he guessed a few points, he trembled, and before he could shout "General", he had been fed a mouthful of dust by Gu Nanye's horse.

He looked at the team that had gone away, slapped his thigh, and sighed anxiously: "It's going to be a big deal!" ”

He left the matter of the yamen and hurried to the backyard of his house.

When Gu Nanye returned to the small courtyard, he pressed the saber on his waist in his hand and asked Xu Baoru, who ran forward: "What kind of bullying has she suffered, let's talk carefully, don't hide it." ”

Ye Taixuan is not an arrogant person, he has always been afraid of him, if something bad hadn't happened, he would never cry to see him after being rescued.

He was worried that there was something hidden, so he hurried back.

Xu Baoru understood his question and explained: "The girl was forcibly hugged by Chen Heng, and later fainted after being knocked on the head by Ma, but Feng Hu found out in time, and the girl was not bullied by anything else. ”

Gu Nanye's expression was a little pale, and he asked, "What about Chen Heng and Ma's?" ”

Xu Baoru replied: "Locked up in the backyard, waiting for the general to fall." ”

Gu Nanye nodded, and then reached out to push Qu Muge's door, but it was locked and couldn't be opened.

Xu Baoru immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door and shouted, "Miss Ye, the general is back, open the door quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard the footsteps inside running "oh oh" and immediately opened the door.

When Qu Muge saw Gu Nanye, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, but the grievances were even worse.

She wanted to speak, but she couldn't say it with a sob, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab Gu Nanye, but she was frightened back by the cold aura of his body, and finally just looked at Gu Nanye with red eyes and tears.

Gu Nanye looked at the little girl, she looked frightened, her hair was messy and stuck to her face with tears, she was barefoot, and her clothes were crumpled.

But I haven't seen it for half a day, and it's like I've gone through a great ordeal.

His face sank again, and his brow furrowed again.

Gu Nanye walked into the room, closed the door, and then took the little girl's collar and took her to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"Calm down, and then tell me slowly, what's wrong with you."

Qu Muge wiped his tears with his sleeves, and tried to open his mouth several times, but he choked up for a long time before he said: "Nightmare, it's terrible." ”

Gu Nanye understood.

How miserable Ye Taohua was in his previous life before returning to the palace, he had heard about it, it seems that the little girl didn't think about it before, but she was stimulated by Chen Heng, and now she remembers it.
