"There is rabbit meat in the small shop today, braised hooves, and fragrant donkey meat in sauce, do you want the three guest officers to have some?"

Xiao Er saw that the first person was not very old, but he was dressed luxuriously. The three of them looked like masters and servants, so he asked Gu Chengyu directly.

Xiao Er vaguely glanced at the clothes of the three people, and measured in his heart that these three people should be the masters of the money.

The master was extravagant, and his gestures were extraordinary. It may have been a night rush, but the two people behind were a little tired on their faces.

But the young man in front of him still looked so personable, and he didn't show any embarrassment.

Xiao Er is well-informed and thinks that these three people should be the masters and servants of large families, so he highly recommends a few more expensive cooked dishes in the small shop.

Gu Chengyu took the lead in glancing at the tea house and saw that there was only one table in it.

There were two people sitting at this table, one of whom was a rough-looking man. This person is very burly, tall and large, giving people a full sense of oppression.

There was a big knife on his left hand, and although the knife was still within the cutting of the knife, Gu Chengyu could already feel its sharpness.

And what made Gu Chengyu pay attention was not the treasure knife, but the hand on the treasure knife, this person is a left-hander!

The man glanced up at Gu Chengyu, and his hand lightly pressed on the hilt of the knife. Gu Chengyu looked at the man's eyes, only to feel that the other party's eyes were sharp and sharp.

Gu Chengyu didn't speak, he didn't change his face and looked at this person.

The eyes of the two seemed to have fought invisibly countless times, Gu Chengyu did not show weakness, and he now felt that the muscles of this person's body were tense, and his left hand was also about to move.

Brushing his hand over his waist, Gu Chengyu planned to draw the soft sword on his waist and make a preemptive strike.

"Ahem!" Suddenly, a cough sounded, Gu Chengyu ignored it, but stared closely at the rugged man's reaction.

However, Gu Chengyu suddenly found that the other party's hand was removed, and he picked up the chopsticks again and stretched them out to the bowl of meat in front of him.

As soon as Ming Mo and Ming Yan tied up their horses, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. They immediately stood behind Gu Chengyu and also looked at the two people on the opposite table.

Gu Chengyu saw that the other party had already vented the momentum of his body, and he knew that he was not going to do it. He removed the hand that was holding his waist and looked back at the man who was coughing.

This person was an emaciated old man sitting opposite the rugged man, he had his back to Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu could only see the other party's pale hair, and slightly arched back, this old man was a little hunchbacked.

Seeing that the two of them are dressed like people in the rivers and lakes, they should have nothing to do with them, but Gu Chengyu didn't dare to take it lightly.

The murderous aura of the man just now was not fake, although it was fleeting. But Gu Chengyu is so sensitive, he has already caught it.

Gu Chengyu was sure that he didn't know these two, why did people kill him?

Was it just because he looked at the other person a few more times? Isn't that enough?

Gu Chengyu took the lead and walked to a table and sat down, and when Ming Mo and Ming Yan saw that there was nothing abnormal, they shouted for Xiao Er to quickly bring up all the cooked food.

Anyway, I had to pack it, and I always had to eat and drink on the way, so I simply ordered all the meat and vegetables.

Gu Chengyu also followed them, after all, he was a young man, and he was hungry and panicked if he didn't eat a meal. Riding a horse is a manual task, and of course you have to eat well and be full.

Motioned for both of them to sit down, and there was no need to pay attention to going out.

Gu Chengyu continued to observe the two people at the table, and the cough seemed to be a warning.

Why did that man kill himself? A stranger who has just met can't kill someone for no reason, right? And why did the old man stop the other party?

Gu Chengyu thought about it, when he was in the capital, he didn't offend anyone, could it be those tea merchants?

He shook his head, more than two years have passed since the tea tax, and those tea merchants have adapted to the new tea tax system, so there is no need to take it seriously now.

Besides, he is an official of the imperial court, and the tea merchant still has some scruples.

Then the rest may only be related to the purpose of his trip to Jiangnan this time, and he summed up three possibilities.

The first possibility is that someone doesn't want to go to Jiangnan because they are afraid that he will rob others of their credit.

The second may be that there is a problem with the embankment in Jiangnan, and he will definitely do a detailed investigation of the embankment when he goes to Jiangnan as a messenger.

This person was afraid that the matter would be exposed and he would be implicated, so he wanted to kill him first on the way to Jiangnan.

The third is the distortion of human nature, perhaps out of jealousy and deep jealousy. Because he has been promoted three levels in a row, he has already threatened the position of some people in the DPRK.

For example, Tao Junyan, the former right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was transferred to Dali Temple, but he squeezed the other party away, and it is normal for people to be resentful.

Of course, the above is just his speculation, after all, the man has not yet made a move.

Gu Chengyi thought about these and only took a few breaths, Mingmo and they first filled the water bladder, and then scalded the dishes and chopsticks for Gu Chengyu, and refilled the tea by the way, and then sat down and waited for the food to be served.

The man turned his gaze around Gu Chengyu's table again, and then looked at the old man opposite.

The old man picked up the tea bowl and did not speak, let alone respond.

"Guest! The sauce rabbit meat you want is here, and this dish is ready, please use it slowly! ”

Xiao Er put a plate of rabbit meat with sauce on the table and said a few polite words. Gu Chengyu listened intently, but he didn't hear the response of the two.

Before Gu Chengyu's dishes were served, he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Gu Chengyu squinted slightly, quickly watching the reactions of the two of them. When he saw the old man's ears move slightly, and the man on the opposite side put his hand on the hilt of the knife again, he withdrew his gaze.

It seemed that the old man had known that someone was coming, and his ears were extremely sensitive to sound.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party has deep internal strength, just like Gu Chengyu.

But Gu Chengyu had already glanced at the other party just now, and did not find that the other party had internal force in his body.

Unless the opponent's internal force is above him, or he has practiced some hidden exercises.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, like a dense drum, and appeared in front of Gu Chengyu and them in the blink of an eye.

The shopkeeper who was cooking saw that someone was coming again, and a smile suddenly spread on his face.

"Let's go and see what these guest officers are going to eat."

Gu Chengyu and Mingmo turned their heads to look and found that there were a total of four people, dressed like passing merchants.

One of them should be the leader, this person handed the reins in his hand to Xiao Er, and then beckoned the three people behind him to walk towards the tea house.

As soon as this person entered the tea house, he saw that there were people at the two tables inside, so he quickly looked around.

Gu Chengyu and the others were the closest, this person first glanced at Gu Chengyu's face twice, then looked at Mingmo and them, and finally turned his gaze to the table.
