Volume 4: The Case of the Spiegel Chapter 120: How Can You Repay Me for Saving My Life?
After leaving the prison, Duan Ming and Li Wan'er looked at the sky, it was not too late, so they decided to visit Gu Yushi first.
Gu Yushi's mansion was not far from the Heavenly Prison, and it was only a quarter of an hour away.
After getting out of the carriage, Duan Ming looked at the mansion in front of him with some surprise.
If the Tiangongfang is simple, then the Gu Mansion is the ultimate simplicity.
The neat stone steps, the vermilion gate, there are all the things that should be, but there are only the things that should be.
There is nothing extravagant, nothing glamorous, nothing superfluous.
Gently knocked on the door of the Gu Mansion, and after a while, a dark-skinned old man slowly opened the door.
The old man was short in stature, but his eyes were bright, and he let out a deep voice as soon as he opened his mouth: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello, I'm Duan Ming, who is in charge of investigating the Imperial City Blood Sedan Chair case recently, this is Li Wan'er, the lord of Mingzhu County, we are here to visit Gu Yushi, and we have something to inquire about." Duan Ming said in a deep voice.
"The master is out, let's come back another day." The old man said, "I will tell you about the visit." ”
"Old man, we do have an urgent matter, may I ask when Gu Yushi went out? Where did you go? When will I be back? Li Wan'er asked.
"I don't know, we never ask about the master." The old man replied, "You'd better come back another day." ”
Then the old man didn't wait for Duan Ming and Li Wan'er to speak again, and closed the door.
"This ......" Duan Ming looked at the closed door, and couldn't help but laugh on his face: "No wonder this Gu Yushi doesn't have a friend, even the porter is like this, Gu Yushi himself is probably more difficult to contact." ”
"Indeed." Li Wan'er sighed: "I have seen Gu Yushi in the past, and I really don't want to say a word to ...... him."
"Forget it, in that case, let's go back first." Duan Ming sighed: "Wait until tomorrow to visit Gu Yushi." ”
"Okay." Li Wan'er nodded.
Soon the two of them had returned to the Jing'an Palace, and the sky gradually darkened, and then in the dim sunlight, a figure could be seen standing in front of the Jing'an Palace.
"Lonely owner?" Looking at this figure, Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, how could the workshop owner be here this day?
"Hehe, Mr. Duan, Teacher Duan......" Seeing Duan Ming's figure, Dugu Fang's face was instantly full of smiles, and he walked over quickly and held Duan Ming's arm.
"You, what are you going to do?" The corners of Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly took two steps back: "The blood sedan has already been assembled?" ”
"No, no." The owner of Dugu Fang also found that his movements seemed to be a little ambiguous, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "That's it, that, Mr. Duan, the one you said before, the ratio of gunpowder ......."
"Stop, stop!" Duan Ming hurriedly waved his hand: "If it is given to you now, do you still have the heart to study the blood sedan chair?" ”
"Yes, definitely!" The owner of Dugu Fang swore solemnly: "I study the blood sedan chair during the day and gunpowder at night. ”
"Don't, I'll give you another sudden death." Duan Ming shook his head and said, "Again, if you want the things I said, study the Blood Sedan as soon as possible." ”
"This ...... It's not Mr. Duan, you see that this blood sedan chair is not so easy to fight......" Dugu Fang owner prayed.
"No way!" Duan Ming said in a deep voice.
"Well, well." The owner of Dugu Fang looked at Duan Ming's expression and understood that there was indeed no room for relaxation in this matter.
"Don't worry, as long as you study the assembly of the blood sedan chair, I will definitely ......," Duan Ming said.
However, before Duan Ming's words were finished, he saw a group of black-clothed people running out of the alley not far away, and ran directly towards Duan Ming.
"This ......" Duan Ming and Li Wan'er were both stunned, what are these people doing? This is the gate of Jing'an Palace!
Just when Duan Ming and Li Wan'er were stunned, these people rushed to Duan Ming's side, lifted Duan Ming up with all their hands, and then ran back towards the alley.
"What are you doing......" Li Wan'er's face suddenly changed.
"Oops, robbing people, robbing people in broad daylight!" At this moment, the Dugu Fang owner on the side shouted and stopped in front of Li Wan'er: "Wan'er County Lord, I will protect you!" ”
"You, you get out of the way!" Li Wan'er shouted, but was stopped by the owner of Dugu Fang.
"County Lord, don't worry!" The owner of Dugu Fang held Li Wan'er with both hands, and swore solemnly: "The old man will go to them and fight hard, and he will definitely save Mr. Duan." ”
Then the owner of Dugu Fang waved his hands and rushed into the alley while shouting.
"This ......" Li Wan'er looked at the back of the owner of Dugu Fang, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on her face.
She's not stupid, can't she see what's going on?
It's just that I didn't expect these people to be so crazy that they would be kidnapped in front of the Jing'an Palace!
On the other hand, Duan Ming also quickly figured out what was going on, and he stopped struggling, letting these people carry him back and forth.
Finally, running through the two alleys, these people put Duan Ming on the ground, and one of them took out a small dagger and said to Duan Ming: "You want money to die?" ”
"Can I either?" Duan Ming asked.
"Huh? How do you answer this? It wasn't written in the book. The man hurriedly looked at the person on the side.
The person on the side hesitated: "Yes, give you money!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and threw it in front of Duan Ming, and the small cloth bag contained dozens of copper plates: "As long as you tell everything you know, the money is yours." ”
"That's all?" Duan Ming said with a smile.
"He's too little, what should I do?" The man with the knife asked hurriedly.
"Stupid, just make up for too little." The other said, then looked at the other men in black: "Which of you brought the money?" Hurry up and get together. ”
"No, are you stupid?" Another man in black shouted, "We are his kidnappers, not kidnapped by him." ”
"Oh, yes." The man with the knife suddenly realized, and said in a vicious voice to Duan Ming: "Hurry up and explain honestly, what is the formula of gunpowder?" What is the reaction and what is ......"
"Are you an idiot?" A man in black hit the man with the knife: "If you ask that, doesn't he know who we are?" ”
"Yes, yes. I don't ask that. The man with the knife hurriedly said, "Well, tell me, you know everything!" Or I'll kill you. ”
"Ahhhh At this moment, a loud shout came from not far away, and then I saw the owner of Dugu Fang rushing over with a stick in his hand.
Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly dodged.
The owner of Dugu Fang rushed to Duan Ming's side and said to Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, I came to save you, how can you repay me for saving my life?" ”
