Chapter 65: Gu Qing appeared
The sudden kiss made people helpless, her aroma, her sweetness, as if he wanted more.
His lips were slightly cold, and she subconsciously wanted to struggle to get up.
The guards are still looking for someone in the warehouse, "Be careful for me, if you can't find anyone, we'll all die."
The two fell right behind the haystack and were not found for the time being.
Shen Muzhou hooked her neck and told her to stop moving, his other hand was tightly held in the palm of his hand, and the back of his waist was also taken into his arms, and the two were completely next to each other.
There was a slight pain in his heart, and this pain gradually spread throughout his body, it was the remnants of the medicine in his body, and he wanted to distract himself, but he couldn't ignore the sweet smell of her lips.
She didn't dare to struggle anymore, she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe, and when she came back to her senses, she moved her little head in a panic, lying on his shoulder weakly, gasping for breath.
"Let's go, it's not, go out and look for it."
Shen Muzhou's throat rolled, and he clenched his fists with restraint, not knowing what he was thinking, until those guards walked away, and he didn't let go of him for a long time.
Lin Yanxi's face turned red with embarrassment, she recoiled her hair, and didn't dare to look at Shen Muzhou.
Why didn't he speak? I don't think I'm going to make her responsible for him.
After all, she had accidentally touched him first...... Labellum.
Hiss, she covered her heart, how did she feel weird, a little painful.
Shen Muzhou endured the pain on his body, probed at the door of the warehouse, confirmed that no one had come, and looked back at her again.
She lowered her arms and laughed a few times to break the strange vibe, "I, I didn't mean to slight you."
Shen Muzhou's heart was very confused by her, and he laughed when he heard her say this, "Light?"
Lin Yanxi looked at him with some vigilance, "It's all an accident."
"Let's get out of here first and go find Xiao Liu and Shen Yu to meet."
Shen Muzhou looked at her cautious look, shouldn't he think that he wanted to rely on her and find her responsible.
It can be seen that she has no other thoughts about herself, he is too worried, and the residual poison of the medicine has not worked in her body.
That's fine, she doesn't like her own words, and many complicated things are simple.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded and walked out with her.
Lin Yanxi followed behind him obediently, he didn't speak again all the way, and his tall figure looked a little lonely.
Is it because of the kiss just now, doesn't he know how to explain it to Luo Jingxin?
"Hiss......" A pain spread through her body inexplicably.
Shen Muzhou then looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
She shook her head, unable to explain why she suddenly felt a pain in her body, and casually excused herself, "It's okay, I hit my arm."
Someone in the pit had already discovered that the two guards had been dropped, and the guards were in a mess for a while, but fortunately they escaped smoothly.
After the two went out, they found Shen Yu, one in front of the other, one high and one low, no one spoke to anyone, Shen Muzhou has been following behind Lin Yanxi, although he is the prince, on the surface, Lin Yanxi is also afraid of him, but when they appear at the same time, it is usually Shen Muzhou who follows her for half a step.
"Just now I saw a lot of innocent homeless people who were caught there in the prison, and they couldn't hold on." Lin Yanxi wanted to say something to break this subtle embarrassment.
Shen Muzhou asked, "I'll first report the situation here to my father, and then let the Dark Night Division take over the investigation of the affairs here."
She stopped suddenly, looked at him seriously with round eyes, and said, "No. They can't wait."
"Those people are in poor condition, they don't have enough to eat, they don't have enough clothes, and they have to do heavy labor every day. And we've been caught in the pit just now, and those people will probably kill them all in order to destroy the evidence, and things will be transferred."
Shen Muzhou lowered his eyes for a while and said, "In this way, let Xiao Liu go to Linxian to find officers and soldiers to come over for reinforcements, it will be there in about half a day, let's go to Gu Qing first and see the landlord."
Lin Yanxi was relieved when he heard him say this, "Okay, without further ado."
The two walked to the bun shop, she suddenly stopped, Shen Muzhou was not in a hurry, she paused, she took off her towel, and her pink little face looked a little sad.
Shen Muzhou guessed that she was still in prison, and he also pulled off his scarf, frowning lightly.
After Lin Yanxi sighed again, he turned sideways, looked at Shen Muzhou and said, "Have you ever thought that this matter might be related to the crown prince?"
After speaking, her eyes fell on Shen Yu in the bun shop in the distance, he was sitting in the bun shop and secretly sandwiched the beef in Xiaoliu's bowl into his own bowl without heart or lungs.
Shen Muzhou instantly understood that she had a sad face just now, but she was worried that telling Shen Yu about this matter would have a bad impact.
"I believe in him, Shen Yu is my fifth brother, we grew up together, I believe that he will make the right decision and will not shield the prince or ...... Queen."
Lin Yanxi nodded, since he believed in Shen Yu, she naturally believed it too.
Shen Muzhou followed Lin Yanxi into the bun shop, and when Xiao Liu saw them coming back, his tense expression immediately eased a little because he was worried about them.
Xiao Liu said, "Lord Wang, Second Miss, we have found out about Gu Qing."
Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi sat at the square table, not in a hurry to tell the situation in the prison, Xiao Liu said, "According to the prince's orders, we secretly investigated Gu Qing's news."
"At first, the people in the ghost town said they didn't know Gu Qing, and some people said that there was no news of Gu Qing, until a teenager, he said yes...... It's the younger brother of the second lady."
Lin Yanxi smiled and said, "It's a small stone."
Shen Yu was surprised: "When did you recognize a younger brother, and it was true that he said that you would take him back to the capital? You dare to bring the people from the ghost town back?"
She glared at him and said, "I have my own considerations, and I don't like it when you say that about him."
Shen Yu was amused by her little appearance, "Yes, it's quite protective of calves."
When he wanted to tease her for a few words, Shen Muzhou interrupted him and said, "Continue to talk about Gu Qing's situation."
Xiao Liu said: "Xiao Shi said that Gu Qing left the ghost town after asking for medicine, and he broke his arm when he left, and the owner of Zhihai Mansion has an order, and no one can mention Gu Qing again, so everyone claims not to know about it."
Shen Yu was puzzled: "It seems that the rights of this owner of Zhihai Mansion in the ghost city are not small, by the way, have you found anything in the prison?" Why did it take so long to come out?"
Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi glanced at each other, exchanged a look, and Shen Muzhou said in a deep voice, "There are people in the pit prison who are privately making weapons."
Shen Yu was shocked, "What?"
He realized that this matter was not trivial, and quickly lowered his voice: "Private weapons?"
Lin Yanxi added in a low voice, "And it's in exchange for the official position of the county seat."
Shen Yu was completely shocked and speechless, he usually looked cynical, but in fact, his intelligence was no less than that of the prince and Shen Muzhou, and he immediately understood who was the person who needed private weapons in the capital and had the right to promise official positions.
"Do you have proof?"
Shen Muzhou shook his head, looked at Xiao Liu and said, "They exchanged the official position of the county order, which means that this county is already within their sphere of influence, and this matter cannot be delayed, Xiao Liu, you should go to Linxian County quickly and ask for reinforcements."
He took out the waist card of the Nine Princes from his waist and handed it to Xiao Liu, who took the waist card and saluted, "Yes, Lord Wang."
Lin Yanxi was still a little worried when he looked at Xiao Liu's departing back, and Shen Muzhou comforted: "Xiao Liu's journey is very fast, and he will definitely be able to invite support in half a day."
She nodded silently, and then looked at Shen Yu, who also looked worried.
Xu felt Lin Yanxi's gaze, Shen Yu lifted his eyes, the two looked at each other, and he staggered his eyes a little unnaturally and said, "I believe that this matter will not be done by my imperial brother."
In fact, he was very grateful to Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi for not hiding it from him and telling him the truth, that is, they trusted him and regarded him as a brother
It is to hide the heart of rebellion.
He didn't dare and couldn't think that this matter was really related to the crown prince, after all, they were all from the queen, and if the queen mother was implicated in this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Shen Muzhou did not answer this question.
He thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the town to find Gu Qing first, and I will report this matter to my father."
---
Several people returned to the town again, and first inquired about the nearby restaurants and art galleries, but there was no Gu Qing.
Shen Yu was sullen all the way, and his expression was a little dazed.
After a few days of getting along, Lin Yanxi actually felt that Shen Yu was not as unbearable as he said outside, but he had a free and sincere temperament, and he was completely different from Shen Qingyun.
Shen Muzhou entered a shop to inquire about Gu Qing's whereabouts, while Lin Yanxi and Shen Yu waited outside.
She looked at the people walking around the street and said, "The people in the prison are very difficult, they have not committed any mistakes, but they have been abducted, there are old people, some children, some women. They are chained to their bodies, and they are denied food, but they carry stones and iron tools like cattle."
"The blacksmiths who work there are killed every three months and replaced by new ones. I mean, there are some things that we can do without asking whether they are right or wrong, and put the people we want to protect first, but this is a matter of life and death for too many people, and we have to give justice to those people."
Shen Yu didn't expect this little girl to persuade herself, he smiled, his eyes lit up and said firmly, "If the imperial brother really harmed so many people's lives, I will never cover it up."
Shen Muzhou came out of the store, obviously they didn't get the information they wanted.
"Could it be that he's already out of here?" Lin Yanxi asked.
"Get out, get out."
Before a few people finished speaking, they saw a shopkeeper in the distance, pushing a man out of the store.
The man chased after me and said, "If you don't like my paintings, I can still play the piano, as long as you change the jug of wine for me."
Xiao Er stood on the steps, stepped on the painting scroll scattered all over the place and said, "Before you break your hand, this painting may be able to exchange a few coppers, look at what you are painting now?" Mountains are not like mountains, and waters are not like water."
"You go quickly, the wine money that I paid in my store on credit before, your lady just paid it back, and you have to owe it again, alas, pity your beautiful lady."
Xiao Er turned around and went back to the store after saying it with a disgusted face.
Gu Qing sat helplessly on the ground, rolled up the painting with one hand, and the other hand was always hidden in his sleeve, if it wasn't for the little second who said that he had a broken hand, he really couldn't see anything unusual.
Lin Yanxi's small hand pulled down Shen Muzhou's sleeve and motioned him to look at Gu Qing, who was holding the scroll with one hand and hiding the other hand in the sleeve, only the spacious sleeve robe hung down at his side.
Shen Muzhou and the others followed him and walked into a small alley, Lin Yanxi followed closely, and she shouted, "Gu Qing."
Gu Qing's body stiffened and continued to walk forward, his steps speeding up.
Shen Yu rushed forward in two steps and pressed his shoulder.
Gu Qing had to turn around to face everyone, his expression was calm, and he could see a trace of panic in his eyes, and said, "I'm not Gu Qing, you recognized the wrong person."
