Chapter 183: Red Face and Troubled Water (7)
The black curtain has receded, a glimmer of dawn shines into the window, Chun Gu leans against the window, looks at the morning glow, looks at the rising sun, thinks of the relatives who died, and her heart hurts like a knife. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mi-woo--" A flower cat appeared out of nowhere, screaming happily and wandering around the courtyard.
When Chun Gu saw the flower cat, she had a sense of déjà vu.
"Could it be Brother Cat? Why is he here? Chun Gu didn't think much about it, took off a shoe, and threw it at the flower cat.
The embroidered shoes smashed on the grass next to the flower cat, and the flower cat saw the embroidered shoes, looked up at the open window upstairs, and when he saw the spring aunt poking her head out, his heart was overjoyed.
"Aunt Chun, it's you, it's great that you're still alive." Brother Cat rolled on the spot, turned into a handsome young man, and jumped onto the windowsill.
"Brother Cat, where have you been these days?" Chun Gu asked.
"Alas-don't mention it, I waited for you in Taiping County all night and didn't wait, so I had to go back to the inn, and I heard the customers in the inn say that there was a girl who assassinated the county magistrate, and escaped overnight after the killing, I guessed it was you, so I looked for you all the way."
"That dog county order is more than innocent! Who told him to kill my father? Chun Gu scolded.
"Actually, you can't blame Li County Order for your father's death, Li County Order is also being used." Brother Cat said.
"Brother Cat, how are you helping that dog officer speak?" Chun Gu was stunned.
"I'm on a case-by-case basis, Aunt Chun, there are a lot of things you don't know, I've been asking around for the past few days, and I learned that Li County's order was also coerced." Brother Cat said.
He Lei and the boy in Tsing Yi felt strange when they heard the words of Chun Gu and Brother Cat, they wanted to know the truth, and this Brother Cat seemed to be an insider.
"My lord, shall we go over and meet the two of them?" The boy in Tsing Yi asked.
"It's dawn, it's time for us to go, let's go!" He Lei said and walked out of the house.
The voice in Aunt Chun's room stopped abruptly.
"Aunt Chun, it's not too early, it's time to hit the road." He Lei knocked lightly on the door and shouted.
Chun Gu heard the movement outside, pretended to sleep, heard a knock on the door, and said lazily: "My lord, it is only a few dozen miles away from the county seat of Taiping County, and it is still early, I am sleepy, so I will sleep for a while." ”
He Lei knew in his heart that this was Aunt Chun delaying time, so in order not to startle the snake, he deliberately walked away, came to the door of the Jade Flute and the Horn Spirit, and knocked lightly.
The Jade Flute Boy and the Sheep's Horn Spirit were shocked, heard a knock on the door, and hesitated for a moment to open the door.
"My lord, isn't it time to hit the road?" Jade Flute asked.
"Yes, there's a lot more to do." He Lei said.
The four of them came to the hall, and the shopkeeper uncharacteristically sent breakfast.
"Everyone, get ready early, use it slowly." The shopkeeper said goodbye and left.
"Shopkeeper, please stay, can you tell me what happened last night?" He Lei asked.
"What happened last night? How did I not know? I also asked the guest officer to explain the point. The shopkeeper's face was surprised.
"Let me ask you, we fought with Wu Tian last night, and you came to the courtyard to stop us, and said that the Jade Phoenix is yours, are you the minions of the Demon Venerable?" He Lei asked.
"What is the Emerald Phoenix? Who is Wu Tian? Guest, you're confusing me with questions. "The shopkeeper was confused.
He Lei was surprised when he heard this: "Could it be that the shopkeeper last night was a monster change?" Who is the youkai? He also said that Aunt Chun was his adopted granddaughter, could this matter have anything to do with Aunt Chun? ”
"Shopkeeper, let me ask you again, where were you from the third to the fifth watch last night? What did you do? He Lei asked.
"I already slept on the third watch last night, and I got up on the fifth watch to prepare for you early, if you don't believe it, you can go and ask my guy what he wants, I will sleep next door to him, and he knows best what I am doing." The shopkeeper said.
"The girl who came with us is called Aunt Chun, do you know her?" He Lei asked.
"I know, she and his father used to come to our inn to eat, and stayed in the hotel, that girl often disguised as a woman, if I hadn't had a good relationship with his father, I wouldn't have known she was a woman." The shopkeeper said.
He Lei listened to it and believed it for seven or eight points.
"Jinwa, go and call Aunt Chun, it's time to go on the road after breakfast." He Lei looked at the boy in Tsing Yi and said with a look.
The boy in Tsing Yi understood, turned around, and after a while, saw Chun Gu coming over with a little flower cat.
"My lord, I'm sorry, I haven't slept well for a few days, and I overslept." Aunt Chun said apologetically.
"You're too tired, it's reasonable to sleep more, Aunt Chun, let me ask you, do you know a person who looks like a shopkeeper outside?" He Lei asked.
Chun Gu pondered for a while and shook her head.
"This is your cat brother! It's cute. He Lei looked at the little flower cat and asked.
When Chun Gu heard this, her face changed suddenly.
"Brother Mao, I know a little bit about the situation between you and Aunt Chun, show up! I still have a lot of things to ask, and I hope you will cooperate well. He Lei said softly.
The little flower cat looked at He Lei's sharp gaze, couldn't parry, and rolled on the spot and turned into a handsome young man about twenty years old.
"The flower cat greets the adult, and the rudeness is also Haihan." Brother Cat speaks politely,
"Don't be polite, let me ask you, how is the Taiping County Order?" He Lei went straight to the point.
"He is still a good official, he has done a lot of good things for the people in the past, but his temperament has changed greatly recently, and he has become greedy, lustful, mediocre and cruel." Brother Cat said.
"Is it fake?" He Lei asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe it's fake, but I've been in the yamen and haven't seen anything big happen in the yamen." Brother Cat said.
"My lord, I think it's a little strange, it's better to go and meet this county master, I have a treasure in hand, as long as it's a monster, it will show its true face." The boy in Tsing Yi said.
He Lei knew that the small round mirror was a rare magic weapon, so in order to investigate the matter clearly, he had to adopt the suggestion of the boy in Tsing Yi.
Hurriedly ate breakfast, He Lei and the boy in Tsing Yi took the jade flute boy, the horn spirit and the spring aunt and the cat brother on the road together, and the shopkeeper sent them outside the west gate and told them to leave reluctantly.
He Lei took the mystery of the shopkeeper, and his heart has always been unsteady, and he always feels that something has happened.
After walking for more than two hours, I came to Taiping County, on both sides of the bluestone street in Taiping County, there are many shops, and the sound of buying and selling comes and goes. On the street, people come and go, the river is endless, and it is a peaceful scene.
"This Taiping County is really good, business is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it seems that Taiping County Ling is a good official." He Lei thought in his heart.
When he came to the crossroads, He Lei stopped, and he saw a few beggars in front of him, walking towards this side.
"Be careful, those beggars are suspicious." He Lei reminded in a low voice.
