Chapter 476: The Man Behind the Scenes
Gu Wanfang shook her head when she heard this, "I haven't seen it, and my master won't tell me this." ”
Gu Chengyu frowned, he didn't expect Gu Wanfang to know such a little.
"You've been with your father all day, has he ever been out of the inn during the day? Who has come to him? Recall carefully. ”
Gu Chengyu felt that if Gu Changbai made an appointment with someone to meet at a place, it was impossible for his people not to know.
The biggest possibility is in the inn, Gu Wanfang lives next door to Gu Changbai, if someone comes to look for it, Gu Wanfang should be able to notice it.
"My grandfather doesn't go out of the inn often, and sometimes he doesn't go out for a day. He often came to my house to talk to me, or urged me to study, but he didn't come into contact with any strangers. ”
Gu Wanfang was a little embarrassed, he really didn't know what he asked, and what he said might be of little use to the uncle.
"Has anyone ever been to your grandfather's house in the past two days, and has he ever gone out?"
Gu Chengyu didn't have hope anymore, Gu Wanfang knew very little.
However, it was determined that Xiao Qi was taken away, which was barely a gain.
Gu Wanfang pondered for a moment, "No one has come to look for the master in the past two days, and the master has not gone out." Only Xiao Er came to visit once, saying that the house money needed to be paid more. ”
Gu Chengyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, urging money is generally the job of the shopkeeper.
Doing business pays attention to harmony and making money, Gu Changbai and the inn they live in are not big, even if the shopkeeper wants to urge the house money, he will usually go in person, so that there is sincerity.
Otherwise, if you send a junior to offend the guest officer, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Besides, Xiao Er is forbidden to collect money for the house.
If Xiao Er went to urge and secretly hid the house money given by the guest officer, or the guest officer defaulted on the debt, it would be unclear.
However, there are no absolutes, and it is possible that the job is a relative of the shopkeeper, and that may not be said.
"How did your father react when he found out? Do you go with him to pay for the house, or do you send someone away first? ”
Gu Chengyu needs to be confirmed, and there is a problem with that guy.
"I went down, and after half an hour, the master came up."
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, "Then Xiao Er, will you still know each other after you see it?" ”
Gu Chengyu planned to tie up the little two and ask him, maybe Gu Changbai's every move in the capital was under the nose of others.
They brought Gu Wanfang today, and I don't know if it will arouse the suspicion of those people.
"I've met you twice, and I've heard that I've just arrived. The shopkeeper also said that he was clumsy, and he even reprimanded him last time. ”
Gu Wanfang knew that Gu Chengyu was suspicious of Xiao Er, and he told Gu Chengyu what he remembered about Xiao Er.
Gu Chengyu nodded, he felt that Xiao Er was even more suspicious. A newcomer dares to come up and urge the guest officer to pay the room money?
"Okay, let's get here today, you go back first! Remember, don't tell anyone about this incident, especially your grandfather, if you really want to be good for your family. ”
"Ming Yan! You send someone back to him, and if you see the little er, you will immediately arrest him. Just don't move too much and startle others. ”
Gu Chengyu was impatient to wait any longer, as long as he knew the mastermind behind the scenes, he would take more precautions in the future.
After all, an enemy hiding in the shadows is still reassuring after all.
"Yes!" Ming Yan went out of the house and called someone.
"Uncle, you will arrest people today, what should I do if those people get the news and it is not good for Xiaoyi?"
Seeing Gu Chengyu ordering like this, Gu Wanfang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"If I can catch it today, I'll ask for a result in the evening. By the time those people know, I've already figured out who is behind it. ”
Gu Chengyu thought about it, and only by arresting Xiao Er could he understand this matter.
Although that little second may not know much, it is better than Gu Wanfang, right?
"If you don't arrest and torture him, how can you know the whereabouts of Xiao Mi?"
"Then what if this person doesn't know where Xiao Yi is being held?" Gu Wanfang asked anxiously.
"Then go to the door and ask for it!" Gu Chengyu answered casually, which made Gu Wanfang speechless.
But Gu Chengyu was thinking about another thing, just now when he mentioned Hua Lian, he thought that it didn't cost money to redeem Hua Lian, and the old bustard said that someone had paid it.
Could it be that at that time, this person was laying out? The city is really deep!
He felt that Hua Lian must have hidden something from him, maybe Hua Lian had something to do with that person.
After all, that person must have checked Hua Lian's identity before luring Gu Changbai and them to the capital.
Gu Chengyu rubbed his eyebrows, the old bustard must know a lot.
It's a pity that the bustard's mouth is tighter than the mussel shell, and it must not be able to pry it open.
There is someone behind the family to support him, if he invites people regardless of it, he is afraid that there will be a lot of rights and wrongs in the future.
Catching the bustard can only be done in the end when there is nothing to be done.
"Someone!" Gu Chengyu shouted to the door, there should be a small servant guarding the door. As soon as Gu Chengyu finished shouting, someone entered the house.
"Steward Chen? Go and get a jar of wine, and ask for it from the mother-in-law who runs the big kitchen, and they will have it. ”
After Gu Chengyu gave the order, he turned around and asked, "Do you drink bar?" ”
There is a curfew coming soon, and Gu Wanfang should go back to the inn. It's just that I've been out for so long, I have to have an explanation, right?
What kind of food can you eat until curfew?
So Gu Chengyu planned to pour some wine for Gu Wanfang, and he would explain when he went back.
Of course, it's not good to be drunk, and if you drink and spit out the truth, wouldn't it be bad?
Gu Wanfang's face flushed, "I haven't drunk much." ”
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he said this, hadn't he ever drunk with his classmates? Gu Wanfang must be eighteen years old, right?
Why is there no social interaction between classmates?
However, Gu Chengyu is not such an eventful person.
"My lord! The wine is coming! Steward Chen brought the wine over, although he wondered why the adults needed such bad wine, but he didn't dare to ask more.
Gu Chengyu nodded, it was not because he was stingy with bad wine, but because Gu Wanfang's classmate was not a big man, and it was impossible to drink such good wine if he invited Gu Wanfang to drink.
As for Gu Wanfang's classmates, he believed that Ming Yan would handle it.
ordered someone to call Mingmo over to watch, and Gu Chengyu went back to the study first.
In the evening, he also had to write an excerpt on the salt introduction and the tea tax, which he planned to complete tomorrow evening.
Gu Wanfang drank two glasses and felt a little dizzy in her brain. Mingmo looked at it, it should be about the same.
Gu Wanfang didn't drink much, and she hadn't drunk much before, if she was drunk and went back and talked nonsense, wouldn't it be a mistake for adults?
"Young Master Wanfang, let's send you back! It's getting late. Mingmo only planned to send people close to the inn, and had to watch Gu Wanfang walk back.
Gu Wanfang shook her dizzy head, "Then let's go!" ”
By the time Mingmo came back to his life, Gu Chengyu had already finished writing the matters that needed to be supplemented for the tea tax.
