Chapter 39: Second Place
At this time, the people who lived in the inn heard the noise coming from the courtyard and rushed to this side.
"What is this for? Three watches in the middle of the night, still don't let people sleep? Liu Erdao yawned, Ming'er he still has to follow the convoy to carry the goods, some time ago, the days were hard, everyone only rested in the inn for two days, who knew that they fell asleep, and they were woken up by Gu Chengyu and them!
Liu Erdao came over to take a look, this little baby was also there, and then saw that there were four people tied to the ground, wasn't the entourage who was standing what was called? The name given by the scholar is really awkward, he can't remember it!
What's going on here?
When the shopkeeper saw that the guests were woken up, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.
"I'm really sorry, there are thieves living in the inn, isn't it? asked Gu Gongzi to catch it, the movement was a little louder, disturbing everyone's rest, but I really didn't want to go! Let's all go back and rest! ”
Gu Chengyu was going to see the list as soon as it was dawn, calculating the time, and he could sleep for about an hour and a half!
"What? Also into the thief? You caught it? Liu Erdao looked Gu Chengyu up and down suspiciously, but looking left and right, there were also two weak scholars and little guys, look at the thin body, can you still catch the thief?
Gu Chengyu ignored Liu Erdao's eyes, and he could see that this big man was missing a string in his brain, and he couldn't control his own mouth.
"The shopkeeper will hand over these people to the government as soon as dawn, and we will go back to sleep!" Gu Chengyu arched his hand towards the cattle shopkeeper and said.
"Well said! Say! It's also mine, no, there is such a thief in this inn. What an abominable thief! The shopkeeper smiled reluctantly at Gu Chengyu, it's really over! Originally, his inn was not doing well, but now that there are thieves in the inn, the business will definitely be even more bleak in the future!
"You people let us go quickly, if you arrest us, our eldest brother will definitely want you to look good!" When one of the thieves saw that Gu Chengyu and they were really going to hand them over to the government, he immediately felt anxious, he couldn't bear the punishment of stealing!
The tall man who seems to be the leader hears this, it's not good! This idiot, being a thief still has a chance to live, if the eldest brother is implicated, a few heads on his head are not enough to cut off.
"Fourth! Now that we've been arrested, we'll admit it, and it's the first time we've done this, so we're confused! The second child winked desperately at the fourth child, but unfortunately he scolded correctly in his heart, the fourth child was really a fool, and he was still shouting.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt that they were not as simple as thieves, they still had smoke and knives in their hands, maybe they were all outlaws.
"Oh? Looks like you still have accomplices! Shopkeeper Niu, when you hand it over to the government tomorrow, you have to say this, these people are not as simple as thieves! I think their luggage will have to be searched as well, and maybe they will find something! This matter will be handed over to the cattle shopkeeper to deal with, we are scholars, so it is not convenient to get involved in this matter! ”
Then Gu Chengyu called Mingmo to prepare to go back to the room, and the rest had nothing to do with him. As for the credit given to the cattle shopkeeper, that's nothing, he is a scholar, and he doesn't need these icing on the cake. And if this thing works well, maybe it can bring some business to the inn!
Liu Erdao also saw it on the side, this matter is a credit! This son said no, don't want it, it seems that everyone is still confident! Let's not talk about anything else, hand over these people, then the reward can always be a little bit, right?
Gu Chengyu and Mingmo went upstairs, and Gu Wanqian hurriedly stepped forward.
"Uncle! What to do with these two people? And Uncle He, I went to knock on the door, but they ignored me, I couldn't get in, do you want to knock the door open? ”
"Childe! He Gongzi They may have smoked a little smoke, and it should be fine to wake up before dawn, but when I went, the gang only blew a little, and it should be okay to come! ”
"Hmmm! Then call them when you wake up! I've got an antidote to the smoke here, so let them smell it!" "Gu Chengyu's space originally didn't have this kind of antidote, this is because he was interested and studied in books!
He Shunian and they can actually wake up without an antidote, but the time is uncertain, and Gu Chengyu is afraid that they will get up late. He smelled it, this low-level smoke is not harmful, it just makes people fall asleep for a while. He knew it before the two of them walked to the door, and when he blew the smoke, he used his internal force to hold his breath, so he didn't inhale it.
In the early morning, Gu Chengyu put down the brush and blew out the candles that were still burning on the side, and the light veil of the night was slowly removed by the dawn of the morning. At this time, there were already merchants selling on the street, and the quiet morning was broken for a while.
Gu Chengyu stood up from the bookcase, just in time to see the woman with the window facing the family opening the courtyard door, and the scholar who appeared yesterday still walked out of that door. This time, the scholar was still in a hurry, deaf to the words of the woman behind him.
The courtyard was not far from his window, and his eyesight was good, and he could see that the woman's eyes seemed to have some love when she looked at the scholar, Gu Chengyu shook his head. The world only says, the female cousin is ruthless, and the drama is unrighteous, but they don't know that the negative lover is also repeated!
"Childe! Come and wash up! There are so many people in the case today, so it's better to go early! Mingmo saw his son-in-law standing at the window and looking out, so he urged Gu Chengyu to wash.
After Gu Chengyu turned around from the window, the woman glanced at the open window here, but saw nothing, so she closed the courtyard door and walked towards the house.
Gu Chengyu watched Mingmo easily squeeze into the crowd, and after a while, he squeezed to the front. Mingmo knows martial arts, so it's natural to squeeze in.
"Hey! Brother-in-law! I should be able to get through this time, right? Gu Wanhua was a little nervous, if it wasn't, wouldn't the previous county exam be in vain? In this exam, the master didn't come with him in order to save money, saying that he had become a pro-adult, and besides, He Shunian didn't bring Uncle He, and his father was embarrassed to follow!
"Isn't this watching? When Mingmo sees it, he will naturally know! "He will definitely pass this first scene, first, he is the head of the county case, and second, he feels that he should not have any clerical errors.
"Uncle, you naturally don't have to worry about it, you are the head of the county case, will it be too much?"
"Mingmo is out, you wait for him to reply!" As soon as Ye Zhiqiu saw Mingmo squeezed out, he hurriedly reminded everyone.
"Childe! You've passed, but you're in second place! Mingmo glanced at Gu Chengyu, and his voice was a little low. He remembered that when Childe took the county exam before, he was the first in all five games!
"Isn't it something to be happy about to be second? What's that expression on your face? Gu Chengyu has actually been prepared for a long time, this time there are thousands of people in the exam, and there will be thousands of people in this first exam, and there will be county heads in other counties, and it is not for nothing that the words are better than him, he is not arrogant enough to think that he will be the first in every field.
However, he is still somewhat sure of the top ten, and now he has to watch the second game, which is not by rote!
