Gu Changming walked slowly forward in the bazaar, although his long body was jade and his temperament was different from that of ordinary people, his body was surrounded by birds and flowers, and his ears were full of crisp warblers, which was easy to restore his mood to calm.
Did those people mention who was killed? Gu Changming thought about it seriously, except for calling out his name accurately, there was nothing else. These people are from Kaifeng Mansion, that is, Liu Zhuxue's father's subordinates. can use more than a dozen officials to arrest people, most of them are suspected and directly arrested for trial.
Gu Changming has been away from Kaifeng Mansion for a while, and if he kills someone here, wouldn't it be a joke.
When he walked out of the bazaar, judged the direction, and was about to take a step, Gu Changming found that someone was looking at him, and his eyes were shining, and he couldn't blink at all. When he looked back, he found only a seven or eight-year-old child behind him, with his hair scattered, wearing a moon-white jacket, and his face was so beautiful that he could not tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The boy not only grinned at him, but also beckoned him to come and speak.
Gu Changmingxin said that today was really weird, first he said that he killed someone, and a strange child came to provoke him. You must know that although he is not fierce, after all, he is the son of a criminal officer, and he has a little smell of not entering. Ordinary children mostly took a detour when they saw him, saying that this handsome brother was not easy to mess with, and it was the first time that he had taken the initiative like this.
Despite this, Gu Changming walked over slowly and looked down at Xiao Budian: "Do you know me?" ”
Xiao Budian pointed to himself and said, "I'm Xiao Hulu, you know Little Phoenix, right?" ”
Gu Changming's face was silent, he was the little phoenix he met in Quyang County, how did this child in Kaifeng Mansion find out? The doubt was only for a moment, and Gu Changming quickly understood: "She made a mark on me?" ”
"You're pretty smart, you can figure it out when you think about it." The little gourd man was a big ghost, and he wrinkled his nose at him and said, "The little phoenix must have accepted your love, and this mark is for people to see it, and if they can help, they will help." You say, if you want me to do anything, I'll do my best. ”
Gu Changming didn't treat his words as children's nonsense, and looked at him very seriously and said, "I'm going to the Crescent Tower, and I have to make sure that there will be no people from the government there." ”
Xiao Hulu seemed to understand his words very well, nodded vigorously and said, "It must be that he didn't do a good job, so I'm afraid of seeing people from the government." It's okay, it's okay, we all know what we do. As soon as he turned around, he took a dozen steps forward, and then turned around, "Aren't you going to the Crescent Tower, keep up." ”
Gu Changming pondered his words, what line of work is this, could it be that this kid is also a habitual thief? His gaze looked down the sleeve of the little gourd, which was very long and covered most of the back of his hand, and he couldn't see the fingers.
"Crescent Tower is not close to here, on the other side of the city, are you going to meet someone?" Xiao Hulu didn't treat him as an outsider at all, and from time to time other children came up to him and talked with a smile as he walked forward, and Xiao Hulu explained in a good way, and those children left quickly.
Gu Changming soon discovered that he thought he was very familiar with Kaifeng Mansion, but he was far inferior to Xiao Hulu. This walk is through the front door of someone else's house to the backyard, the little gourd knocked on the door when it arrived, and someone really opened the door for him, there was no extra words, send them away and then close the door, it's really interesting.
"The sweet and sour big carp in the Crescent Building is a must, can you invite me to eat it later?" Xiao Hulu never asked Gu Changming's identity, and he was bent on treating him as a thief.
"Yes, there are also scallion steaked mutton, milk soup and swallow vegetables, do you want to eat it?" A child is a child in the end, and he has delicious food in his heart. Gu Changming knew that the Crescent Tower was in front, and Liu Zhuxue and Dai Guozi were waiting for him there, "What you promised is to make sure that there are no official people there first." ”
Since he set up an ambush in Futianyuan to arrest him, it may not be that he ignored the two of Kailiu Dai, but he may have deliberately let him go to leave a backup move. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, if Gu Changming comes to set up a bureau, he may also let the people who travel with him go and keep them to catch big fish.
Xiao Hulu snorted: "I really can't make sure that there are no people from the government inside, if you are looking for someone, I can help you bring people out and find a quiet place to talk." ”
Obviously a small point, Gu Changming didn't know why he believed that he could do it: "That's okay, Xinyuelou called a table of good dishes and sent it over, so this place can't be too far away." ”
"Of course, it's far away, and the food is not delicious when it's cold." Xiao Hulu said seriously, and didn't seem to take the official mission of Kaifeng Mansion seriously at all, "Let me think about which one is the best nearby." ”
So Gu Changming was taken to a secluded courtyard, with a stone table and four stone piers in the middle of the courtyard. Apart from the two of them, there was no one else.
"You wait patiently here, tell me who I want to bring to see you, and by the way, pay the money for the banquet at the five taels of the Crescent Tower." The little gourd stretched out his hand towards Gu Changming without skin and shame, "Then you can't just give five taels, you have to give a little reward." ”
Gu Changming took it as fun to see, and the thrilling bit of the vicious battle just now was almost digested. He has always been generous to silver, Qiu Chengzuo ate at least twenty taels of silver in Tianxiang Pavilion, and he didn't even move his eyebrows. Immediately, Gu Changming took out a silver ingot and handed it to the little gourd: "This is ten taels of silver ingots, you can use it, and add some wine." ”
"I'll just say that the little phoenix who made the mark is definitely not an ordinary person, well, it's really good." Xiao Hulu took the silver, and smiled, there are not many people who can see money at such a young age, "Then tell me quickly, who is the person you want to meet?" ”
"A man and a woman, the man's peach eyes, honey-colored skin, about the same height as me, the woman's beautiful and unparalleled, with a sword." Gu Changming wanted to be more specific, but was directly interrupted by Xiao Hulu, saying that it was such a character, don't bother to speak, just wait with peace of mind.
Waiting for the little gourd to push the door out, Gu Changming walked around, and made sure that there was no one else in the huge courtyard. What kind of place is this, and how does the little gourd occupy the dove's nest? Obviously he was the first person he met, and he didn't look like a child of a good family, Gu Changming lowered his head and smiled, he was stunned, he could believe it like this. If he is a charlatan and takes ten taels of silver and leaves, it can be regarded as a big deal.
How can there not be the slightest doubt that a child can do such a complex process. Gu Changming's legs moved, obviously wanting to chase the little gourd out, but he stopped abruptly. From the back door of Futianyuan to here, Xiao Hulu's ability was revealed, and it should be this quiet meticulousness that won his trust.
In that case, why not trust it again.
Gu Changming simply sat down on the stone pier, and the table top of the square stone table was still painted with the pattern of the eight immortals crossing the sea, and he stared at it for a while. I heard the sound of pushing the door again, and the voice of the little gourd sounded: "He believes me, why do you still have to ask." Such a good-looking big girl, so verbose, she can't marry carefully. ”
Gu Changming looked up amusedly, and saw that Dai Guozi was staring at the little gourd, as if he was about to reach out and pull his ears. Where is the little gourd, he turned his head and dodged it, seeing that his skills were real and flexible, and his footsteps were really similar to the light skills of the little phoenix.
"Gu Gongzi, Gu Gongzi is really here." Liu Zhuxue saw the person sitting in the middle of the courtyard, her face was full of surprise, and she walked straight to Gu Changming, "This kid said that you are waiting for us to eat here, we don't believe it yet, I didn't expect it to be true." ”
Xiao Hulu glared back at Dai Guozi, such a noble and elegant son didn't suspect me, where is it your turn to be a little gangster to doubt. Seeing that you can't make up a tael of silver from head to toe, it's not worth my deception at all.
Dai Guozi also grew up in the market, although the little gourd didn't say it clearly, it was clearly written in his eyes. How could he not understand it, so he almost had to write the word hillbilly on his face, which was really inadequate.
"It turns out that your surname is Gu. There are a lot of officials in the Crescent Building, I took the two of them around several times before coming, and I definitely can't do it if I change someone else. Xiao Hulu's face was full of pride, "Now we can rest assured, there will be no more officials to disturb us." ”
"Whose yard is this?" Gu Changming didn't want to eat in an unknown place, so be sure to ask clearly.
"Don't worry, the owner of the yard has gone back to his hometown to mourn, and he won't come back for three months." The little gourd is not pretentious at all, and it is reasonable to say bad things.
"Who are you fooling, you don't even leave a single subordinate when you go back to your hometown for the funeral, so that you have occupied a good place without any hair." Dai Guozi was not polite this time, pressed the shoulder of the little gourd, and grabbed one ear.
"How is it impossible, you let go, you let go first." Xiao Hulu didn't expect him to have such a strong hand, "I'm still a child, you hurt me." ”
Liu Zhuxue couldn't stand it beside her: "Guozi, you just let go of his ears and let him answer well." The child's skin is soft, and his ears are red. ”
"As soon as I let go, he started talking nonsense again." Dai Guozi snorted angrily, but still let go of his hand.
"What nonsense, the owner of this house has a perverse temper and does not have a wife. Usually, there are two subordinates to serve around them, one to eat and one to clean. After returning to his hometown for three months, he did not take both of them away, but who served him in the countryside. Xiao Hulu rubbed his ears vigorously, "If you haven't seen the world, don't talk nonsense, so as not to laugh and be generous." ”
Dai Guozi didn't expect his small mouth to be so sharp, and grabbed his shortcomings and scolded: "You have seen the world, have you ever heard that you are a thief when you come uninvited, you are a thief who sneaks in." ”
"If I were a thief, and you came in with me, what are you?" The little gourd sat down beside Gu Changming with a big grin, "You have offended the government, do you know how many people are waiting to arrest you in the Crescent Tower." I casually glanced at it, there were more than a dozen of them, tell me what you have done, and make me happy. ”
