Chapter 80: Strange Benefactor
Pei Yungui sent Mrs. Xie back to her room, then went back to lie down in his clothes, and spent the night in panic.
It was Eleven who came to knock on the door early the next morning, reminding Pei Yungui to get up and go to breakfast.
It is said to be breakfast, but it is only some clear soup with little water, and there are a few grains of rice floating in it.
You County's grain and grass are in a hurry, and it has reached a desperate moment.
Pei Yungui looked at Gu Rin, who was eating attentively on the other side, and was slightly surprised.
He has always used the best food and clothing, but this time he didn't dislike it, he drank all the clear soup and rice porridge in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and asked Pei Yungui leisurely, "Have you been in the room last night?"
Pei Yungui's heart jumped, and he almost choked on his throat with porridge water, and his thoughts flipped.
Gu Rin didn't know where she went last night?
Then the person who saved her last night claimed that he was sent by Gu Rin.
The two have different statements, who is lying?
Or, Gu Rin actually knew, and just asked, just a temptation?
She took a sip of porridge, hid the strangeness in her eyes through the wide mouth of the bowl, and said, "I went out at night to take a break for a while."
After that, Pei Yungui glanced at Gu Rin, trying to find some clues from his reaction.
Gu Rin was slightly surprised, and said without a trace, "Just went to scatter my heart for a while?"
After Yao Chen was captured last night, she immediately interrogated, and after interrogation, she learned that a small servant named Ah Yao under Yao Chen's hand was killed in a mass grave after docking with the Hu people, and the docking letter was missing.
Yao Chen thought that the murderer was a person sent by him, so he suddenly turned his face and wanted to arrest him.
Subsequently, Gu Rin sent people to the mass grave to check, and sure enough, he found the dead Ayao nearby, injured in the head, and killed with one blow.
Yao Chen concluded that he was behind the scenes, but Gu Rin really never sent anyone to the mass grave, and he didn't even know that there was such a thing as a letter transaction.
And the only person he knows, who has spare energy, and hopes to contact the county order to find out the truth, is only Pei Yungui, who is staying at the inn.
But the injuries on Ah Yao's body have been examined by Gu Rin.
The skull on the back of Ah Yao's head was almost cracked, which shows that the murderer was ruthless and powerful, and he was definitely not human.
can cause this kind of damage, Pei Yungui naturally can't do it, and the other party is very likely to be a strong man.
Gu Rin asked Pei Yungui, but he only said it casually, and he didn't suspect her, but who knew that the answer given by Pei Yungui was beyond his expectations.
Gu Rin knocked on the table with his fingers and looked at Pei Yungui tentatively.
Does she have anything to do with what happened last night?
Pei Yungui noticed a burning gaze falling above his head, and Gu Rin's sharp eyes almost saw through her disguise.
She had nowhere to hide, but to resist this scrutinizing gaze.
Since Gu Rin asked so, it proved that he knew about the mass grave, and the man who rescued her last night should not be lying.
Thinking of this, Pei Yungui's heart sank slightly.
It's just that I don't know if Gu Rin knows about the existence of the letter, and how much the man saw last night.
If he was sent by Gu Rin to get the trust, why didn't he do it if he had such a good opportunity last night?
And the letter in his hand, if Gu Rin wants to get it, it will be as easy as eating and sleeping.
And he made such a big turn and tapped to the side to ask himself, did it mean that he had no idea about the letter, but was only suspicious of his strange behavior when he suddenly went out at night.
Whether her guess was right or wrong, she didn't know.
But Pei Yungui decided to take a gamble.
She frowned and replied: "I was alone in the inn, I was in a panic, I went out yesterday, naturally I was just relaxing, I thought I could come back directly after a walk, but I didn't want to ......."
Pei Yungui pursed his lips suddenly, paused, and his face turned pale, "After the sun set, the sky became a little dark, I originally wanted to go back before the sky was still dark, but I got lost and groped my way to a place that is inaccessible."
Gu Rin's hand playing with the teacup suddenly froze, sat up straight, and turned Pei Yun
Gui saw her feet from her head, subconsciously confirmed whether she was injured, and saw that the other party was only a little pale except that she was intact, so she relaxed a little.
There was a nervousness in his eyes that even he didn't realize.
Pei Yungui thought that Gu Rin had seen something, and his voice couldn't help but tremble, but he really felt a little palpitating.
"I didn't know where it was, I just walked around and then I noticed that someone was following me. The man was in hot pursuit, and I had no choice, so I had some fight with him."
"Are you hurt?" Gu Rin interrupted suddenly, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, which was not at all like his usual style.
As soon as the words fell, he realized what he had said, and suddenly froze, turned his head unnaturally, his eyes stared outward, his hands suddenly clenched and placed on his laps, and there seemed to be some heat on his earlobes.
He was asking her about business, and it would be reckless to interrupt her.
He...... How so?
A trace of annoyance flashed in Gu Rinfeng's eyes.
But the nervousness and worry in my heart are
"Huh?" Pei Yungui was suddenly interrupted, his thoughts were confused, he didn't know which he was singing again, and stumbled and replied, "It's ...... Not really."
"Then you're behind you...... How did you get out?"
Pei Yungui was surprised by Gu Rin's reaction, and on the other hand, he pretended to be frightened and replied, "Fortunately, a stranger helped me to rescue me from that person and sent me back to the inn intact, but the kind Samaritan was too heavy, and the one who entangled me was afraid that he was already dead."
As for last night's experience, she only skimmed the part where she snatched the letter from the little girl, and told the rest half-truths.
Truly convincing lies are often a mixed bag.
Gu Rin was silent for a long time, and the inn was soon shrouded in silence.
Pei Yungui's face was pale, and she looked at him calmly, but her heartbeat was like thunder, showing her anxiety and uneasiness.
She didn't know how much Gu Rin believed the set of rhetoric she had fabricated, but one thing was very clear.
If that person last night was really sent by Gu Rin, her lies would have been hidden.
Perhaps the truth has already been handed to him, and this morning's conversation is like a cat playing with its prey under its paws to its mouth.
It's full of child's play and toying.
She didn't know when the cat would stop playing, just like she couldn't guess what Gu Rin was thinking.
Gu Rin slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and his deep voice was mixed with the crisp sound of the tea touching the bottom of the cup, which looked particularly good.
"The stranger who saved you last night, do you remember what he looked like?"
When the words fell, Pei Yungui immediately lowered his eyes.
Others may think that she is following Gu Rin's instructions, bowing her head and thinking about the appearance of that person.
In fact, she just took the opportunity to hide the monstrous waves in her eyes because of the surprise.
Gu Rin's question was unexpected by her.
So he didn't know the man last night?
The man who saved her panicked about herself.
But why did he lie to himself, in order to let her guard down?
There was no joy of escaping the catastrophe in his heart, Pei Yungui only felt that his heartbeat was getting more and more flat, and the clear voice almost sounded in his ears, and at the same time he was suspicious of this confusing thing.
Since that person was not sent by Gu Rin, why did he save himself?
Pei Yungui did not have this person in her memory, she didn't know him.
There are no more than three reasons for a person to risk offending Yao Chen to rescue a stranger.
First, it is profitable for the rescued; Second, he has an upright personality.
According to past experience, Pei Yungui prefers the first reason.
She never believed that there were absolutely good people in the world.
But after the man rescued her last night, he left without taking a penny, and even gave a salve, the ointment, Pei Yungui also asked 4322 to check the ingredients, and there was nothing unusual.
The most valuable letters on her body remained intact on her
The man didn't have the heart to snatch last night.
Is it really that I am speculating and thinking too much?
Pei Yungui was puzzled, and at present, it seems that only the second explanation makes more sense.
But she always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
After sorting out her thoughts a little, she replied after careful consideration: "At that time, the light was not very good, I didn't see it too clearly, but I vaguely felt that he was quite tall and handsome."
Pei Yungui paused, and added, "He sent me to the inn and left, and before I could ask who that Engongxin was, as soon as I opened my eyes, the person had already disappeared."
There are not many tall and handsome people in the world, even if Gu Rin wants to investigate, it is impossible for the truth to come out overnight.
And with that person's eye-catching appearance and temperament, mixed in You County, it must be eye-catching, and she has been here for three days, and she has never seen this person on the street on weekdays, presumably he is the same as herself, and he has changed his appearance.
Gu Rin wants to find him, it shouldn't be so easy.
Although Pei Yungui didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, he was reasonable, and he saved his life.
If you turn your head and sell the other party, it's a bit too much.
Sure enough, Gu Rin fell silent, as if he was in trouble.
"That's all?" He asked.
With just two ambiguous words, it is indeed not easy to fish for people in the vast sea of people.
And since the other party knows martial arts, it is very likely that he is proficient in the methods of concealing his identity. If you want to find that person, only Pei Yungui can provide information.
Pei Yun replied: "It's not easy to see at night, and after the tiger escapes, I just want to come back quickly, and naturally I can't pay too much attention."
Gu Rinzhi forcibly let Pei Yungui recall, and was a little embarrassed for her, so he asked her to take the lead in going back to the room to rest.
Pei Yungui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a short escape.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Gu Rin again.
Pei Yungui shuddered, turned back, and said with a forced smile, "General, what else do you have to order?"
Gu Rin stiffened his hand and took out an ointment from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Yungui without saying a word.
It should also be a golden medicine for the treatment of skin trauma.
Pei Yungui's eyes widened, and he looked at the inexplicable extra medicine in front of him in a daze, looking incredulous, but he didn't immediately reach out to take it.
Gu Rin raised his hand and froze in place in embarrassment.
"Take it," he rudely stuffed the thing into Pei Yungui's arms, as if he was a little impatient, and his tone was a little impatient, "This thing is in Ben General's sleeve, panic, you keep it for me."
