Chapter 214: The Gambling House Seeks the Truth
In this way, Gan Peilin and Yanzi went down the mountain. The servant who had delivered the goods had been sent away early in the morning. After all, it is not convenient for a manservant to live in the mountains.
She and the swallow went down the hill refreshedly, and there was a carriage waiting at the foot of the mountain.
It was also arranged by the swallow last night.
"Ma'am, get in the car." Yanzi helped Gan Peilin into the carriage.
The carriage soon ran and went all the way in the direction of the bustle of the imperial city.
The harvest of going up the mountain this time shocked and embarrassed Gan Peilin, whether to expose her grandmother became a thorn in her heart.
Soon arrived at the most lively street market in the imperial city, Gan Peilin was a little hungry and purred.
When Yanzi heard this, she couldn't help but hook her lips: "Madame is hungry, it's the slave who is not good, and she didn't prepare breakfast." Why don't you wait in the carriage and I'll get out of the carriage and buy something to eat." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin smiled: "I really feel a little hungry at this time." ”
Swallow asked the coachman to park the carriage at a less crowded spot on the side of the road, got out of the carriage by himself, and walked to a crowded place.
Puff pastries, eight-treasure porridge, and a delicious side dish. The swallow gave a lot of silver, and even the plate was taken away.
But when she returned to the place where the carriage was parked, she was shocked into a cold sweat. The carriage that had been parked here was gone.
"Madame...... Madame ...... "The swallow dropped the food in his hand and went around looking for the carriage, but there was really no sign of the carriage in the crowded market. She hurriedly summoned the dark warrior who was secretly accompanying her, and something even more surprising happened to her.
No one followed.
She has already missed it once, and if she loses her wife again this time, I'm afraid she really won't be able to live. What's more, Gan Peilin treated her very well, and she also hoped that something would happen to her.
In the carriage, Gan Peilin didn't know how to fall asleep. When she woke up, she was in a strange place.
"Swallow, where is this?" She was lying on a table, and it was noisy outside the room, as if there were a lot of people. Finally, she noticed that someone was sitting beside her in a daze.
Looking at the silhouette, this person's figure seems to be a little familiar. Looking at the clothes again, she suddenly understood: "Are you the coachman just now?" What did you bring me here for? ”
Gan Peilin had no impression of what had just happened. But it must not be easy for this person to take her away from Jiang Yu's people. "What exactly do you want to do?"
The other party slowly turned around and glanced at Gan Peilin.
"Wu Wei?" Gan Peilin was suddenly furious. She jumped straight out of her chair. "I don't have time for you to grind here. The swallow is still waiting for me. ”
"Don't you really want to know your grandmother's secret?" As soon as Wu Wei opened his mouth, he pierced this layer of paper. "Why bother people to look it up. I'll show you the truth you want to know. ”
"What truth?" Gan Peilin looked at him vigilantly, not in disbelief.
"Since when have you been so wary of me?" Wu Weizhen couldn't figure it out: "Peilin, I will never hurt you." ”
"Don't talk about these things, I don't want to hear them." Gan Peilin took a deep breath and slowed down his speech: "You may have a good intention, but I really don't need it, I won't be in a hurry if the swallow can't find me." I don't want to get in too much trouble. ”
"The truth is outside, and it doesn't take a cup of tea to see it clearly." Wu Wei's eyes revealed a hint of humility: "Don't you even want to spend this cup of tea?" ”
I don't know if it's his humble eyes, or his somewhat earnest tone, in short, Gan Peilin feels that his heart is very uncomfortable. I didn't insist on refusing anymore. "Then don't waste time."
Gan Peilin walked straight out, and Wu Wei followed closely behind her. "Wait a minute, you'd better cover your face. Don't let anyone recognize you. ”
The light veil was handed to her, and she took it to cover her face.
I don't know why, Wu Wei is much more down-to-earth.
Pushing the door out, the scene in front of him was something Gan Peilin had never seen before.
There were a dozen tables, each surrounded by many people. Or stout sweaters, or older women, they either shouted excitedly, or they talked about winning and losing. In this gambling house, it seems to be a small world isolated from the world. No one cares what others do, not even whether they have rice at home, but if they still have some silver in their hands, they just continue to bet.
Gan Peilin was puzzled: "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
"Over there." Wu Wei pointed to one of the tables and pulled Gan Peilin over.
The clothes that Gan Peilin wore when she went to the nunnery were naturally not too glamorous, so even if someone noticed her, they didn't pay special attention to her.
But when he was close to the table, Gan Peilin actually recognized the jewelry in the hand of one of them. Isn't that what she gave to her grandmother a while ago?
She walked over, snatched the gold ornament from the man's hand, and glared at him with cold eyes.
"Oh, where did the wild girl come from, she dared to rob the uncle's things, she was impatient?"
Wu Wei staggered Gan Peilin, protected her behind him, and said to the man kindly: "You misunderstood, my young lady has taken a fancy to your ornament and wants to buy it." Is this silver enough? ”
Wu Wei took out an ingot of silver, and the man sneered: "I'm a gold ornament, and you want to buy that ingot of silver?" Roll on, don't delay Lao Tzu to win. ”
"These are not enough, there are silver tickets on the carriage. Our young lady likes it, and she can afford a thousand taels. It's just up to you to see if you dare to ask for it. Wu Wei showed smugness when he said this.
"One thousand taels......" the man couldn't help but be shocked. Wow, since this young lady likes it, of course the small one is willing to sell. But you have to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Give me the gold ornaments first. ”
In fact, in the process of Wu Wei talking to him, Gan Peilin had carefully checked the golden hairpin. It was indeed what she gave to her grandmother. In other words, the man was obviously related to his grandmother. Can...... It's too much worse in terms of age, isn't it? Looking at him like this, twenty years old at most is remarkable.
"Let's go, miss, and go to the carriage and get the money." Wu Wei glanced at Gan Peilin.
Gan Peilin nodded immediately, and the group of three people walked out of the gambling house.
The gambling house is located at the end of an alley, and usually people do not come to this side except for these people.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the man walked as fast as he could, for fear that the silver would fly. "You'd better go. I've got to get back and win. ”
Wu Wei followed his footsteps, and the moment he lifted the curtain, a knife stuned him and slammed him directly into the carriage.
Gan Peilin was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.
"I'm wronged to get on the horse, it's not safe here, go to the side again." Wu Wei helped her into the car, but Gan Peilin didn't take his hand.
She got into the carriage herself, but his hand was still awkwardly grounded in mid-air.
It's not that far. Wu Wei parked the carriage outside the door of a house and carried the man in, and someone answered and tied him up.
Immediately after, cold water was poured on it, and the man was quickly awakened.
"What are you doing? What are you kidnapping me for? The man muttered dissatisfiedly, "I didn't offend you." Could it be that you want to rob me? ”
"Less nonsense, this thing is clearly a thief, where did it come from?" Wu Wei took a step forward, and said with a cold face: "If you don't tell the truth, watch your head." ”
"." The man really thought that they were playing gold ornaments, and said confidently: "This is what my mother gave me, let me give it to my daughter-in-law." Hmph, that stupid woman, she was pregnant before she got married, can she still give her gold? ”
When these words came out, Gan Peilin instantly understood.
"Your mother gave it to you, hmph, you don't talk nonsense. You don't look at what you're wearing either? Wu Wei deliberately provoked him with the method of provoking: "This is obviously stolen." For a person like you, let alone owning this kind of gold jewelry, even if you can see it once, it is also a high climb. It's better to be recruited. ”
"It's from my mother." The man gritted his teeth angrily: "If you don't believe it, you ask my mother to go." She's in the nunnery of Nanshan in the middle of the city......"
The gold ornament bar clicked and fell to the ground from Gan Peilin's hand. It turned out that my grandmother had an outer room, at least twenty years ago.
This man in his early twenties doesn't look like a smart guy yet, and there's always something wrong.
"Then I have to call your mother and ask for an understanding." Wu Wei said deliberately: "If you name her name, I'll ask someone to invite her." ”
"Why should I tell you?" The man turned his face away: "You want to know, you go to the sister-in-law nunnery to find it yourself." ”
"Don't say no!" Wu Wei glanced at the people on the side: "Beat me, beat me hard, and beat him until he said it." ”
So those people pounced on them and punched and kicked them, although they were not ruthless, but they were really not light.
Gan Peilin moved his lips, wanting Wu Wei to stop.
But Wu Wei nodded lightly at her.
Before the results of the communication here, the man couldn't stand it and shouted out in pain. "My mother...... My mother is the old lady of Da Sima Mansion, if you dare to beat me, she will definitely not spare you. ”
"When did the Great Sima Mansion have more of you, a wild seed with a bad brain." The man who beat him couldn't help but say more.
Wu Wei was not happy on the spot: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Come on. ”
"Yes." The man stepped aside in embarrassment.
"Throw him back at the casino." Wu Wei picked up the gold ornaments on the ground and stuffed them into the beaten people.
His subordinates did so immediately.
"Thank you for letting me know the truth so quickly." Gan Peilin said this to Wu Wei with a solemn face. "The swallow is still looking for me, I have to go back."
"It's not going to attract attention, so I'll send you back to where you were." Wu Wei walked quickly, reaching out to grab her arm.
Gan Peilin shook off his hand: "It's okay, I don't know where this is." ”
"This is Remembrance." Wu Wei said with some Liulan: "My newly purchased house." I will live here in the future and will not go back to Wu Mansion. If you have something, let someone come here to deliver the letter. I will definitely try my best to help you. ”
"If something happens to me, someone will take care of it for me." Gan Peilin hooked the corner of his lower lip at Wu Wei: "I thank you for helping me, but I hope we won't meet again in the future." It's good for you and good for me. ”
