224 Bear's heart, leopard's gall
A few people walked back the way they came.
It was afternoon, but because the sky was overcast, it looked like evening, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the rain.
A look of vigilance appeared on Xia Zhu's face: "Be careful, these people are not good......
Before she could finish her sentence, a dozen horses galloped up to them, riding a man in black, his face covered in broad daylight, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
Xia Zhu took out the soft sword on his waist and stopped in front of Gu Qing: "In the land of the capital, there are still young people, and they don't even take the court seriously!" ”
She jumped up on one foot, and at the same time, Gu Yi also joined in and intertwined with the person on the horse.
Gu Qing's eyes oozed coldness.
She only offended the third princess in the capital. Then, these people can only be the people of the third princess.
Are these three princesses crazy, and they have repeatedly killed her, are they sure that she is powerless to parry, or are they sure that the Queen Mother will definitely protect them?
Just as he was thinking about it, the swords in the hands of several black-clothed people were picked off, Xia Zhu hit five, but the other party still couldn't beat it, and a soft sword was on the neck of the black-clothed man.
How could the man in black be easily restrained, find the opportunity to fight back again, Gu Yi threw out a dart, the dart slashed against the neck of the man in black, blood gushed out, and the dart spun around in the air and returned to Gu Yi's hand.
Gu Yi has already killed three or four.
The man in black didn't expect Gu Qing's side to be so powerful, and more than a dozen of them couldn't beat two people.
Seeing that he was about to lose, the man in black whistled and prepared to evacuate with his people.
"Want to run?" Xia Zhu directly chased after the soft sword in his hand, and in a few breaths, he left three people.
Seeing this, the three people who were left behind bit the poison in their mouths and immediately fell to the ground and died......
Seeing this, Gu Yi was about to remove the chin of the only man in black who was left behind and alive, but the man was faster, his neck was crooked, and he groaned.
The rest of the men in black had already run away.
Only four bodies remained at the scene.
Zhu Han opened his umbrella and helped Gu Qing get out of the carriage.
"County master, slaves and maids are incompetent!"
"It's already very powerful," Gu Qing praised without hesitation: "You did a good job, and the bodies have been searched?" ”
"Back to the county lord, the search has been completed, these people are all Deadpool, and there is no useful information on them!"
"Okay! Gu Yi, you stay and deal with it, Xia Zhu, let's go back first! Gu Qing got into the carriage and seemed to guess casually: "Last time I found a secret room in the hunting ground, which was filled with a large number of weapons, and I don't know if today's assassination is related to those weapons!" ”
"There's a lot of weapons in the hunting grounds?" Xia Zhu realized the seriousness of the situation, and originally she thought that the assassination was committed by the third princess.
Whether it is true or not, this matter is serious, and she must report it to the Holy One.
Gu Qing nodded, what she wanted was to use Xia Zhu's mouth to let the empress know about it.
The carriage continued to move forward, although it was delayed for a lot of time, but Nangong Mansion still had to go!
Nangong Yi's mansion is still some distance from the street where Gu Qing is located, compared to Gu Qing's county lord's mansion, Nangong Mansion is much larger.
After all, the Nangong family is rich, and they have already purchased an industry in the capital.
When Gu Qing and his party stood at the gate of Nangong Mansion, it was already past noon.
She didn't have a post either, so she had to ask the porter to help spread the word.
The porter was very angry, looked at Gu Qing and said apologetically, "Madame, let's come back another day, there is something in our house today, and the eldest young master is not a guest." ”
Don't see a guest?
Gu Qing considered whether to leave, but when he thought that his house was far away from Nangong Yi's house, it was not easy to come here, so he insisted on seeing Nangong Yi first.
She took out the county lord token from her sleeve and handed it over, "Then you go and report it again, and say that the county lord of Nanzhou Rongchang is here." ”
The concierge saw that it was the county lord of Rongchang, and the smile on his face was instantly much more sincere, and he was more respectful, and immediately knelt down to ask for peace, "The slave asks for peace for the county lord, the county lord invites inside, and the slave will go and call the eldest son." ”
The porter led Gu Qing and the others to the living room, and invited the housekeeper to come over to accompany them, and then rushed in to find Nangong Yi.
Gu Qing waited for only half an hour before he saw the porter running over, followed by Nangong Yi.
I haven't seen him for two days, and Nangong Yi is a little haggard.
Remember seeing him on the hunting ground two days ago, he was still in high spirits, what happened?
However, Gu Qing didn't want to know what happened to him, so he only took out the title deed and said straight to the point: "This is the shop that my husband bought with you yesterday, I went today, but I saw an old woman inside who was taking others to look at the house, should you explain?" ”
"Is this the case?" Nangong Yi frowned: "Ah Fu, call all the mothers-in-law in the mansion and let the county lord identify them well!" ”
Gu Qing didn't expect Nangong Yi to be like this, but at the moment, this is indeed the best and fastest way.
Nangong Mansion is very large, all the mothers-in-law are standing in the courtyard, and there are as many as twenty people in a rough count.
Gu Qing and Zhu Han looked over one by one, and finally found Zhang's mother in the corner.
Zhang's mother stood in the crowd with her head down, and as soon as she returned to the house, she heard Ah Fulai pass the word. Said that the son wanted to see them.
In the past, the prince asked them to gather to see the reward, or there were important people in the house.
Zhang's mother did not doubt him, and followed the other mothers-in-law to quickly line up in the courtyard to gather.
But the moment he saw Gu Qing clearly, cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
She knelt on the ground, her hands and feet cold: "County, county lord, spare your life!" ”
"Spare your life? What lives are spared? Gu Qing stepped on her fingers, the embroidered soles were not hard, but Zhang's mother was still screaming.
"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, and he collided with the county lord!" Mother Zhang twitched her hand in pain, but the more she pumped, the harder Gu Qing worked.
"Say, how long have you been doing this private thing?" As the first person around Nangong Yi, Ah Fu has more power than a housekeeper.
As soon as he raised his hand, a servant immediately searched Zhang's mother's residence.
Soon they found a lot of silver tickets, gold and silver jewelry, and one of the most plain golden hairpins made Ah Fu's muscles burst out.
It was the hairpin he bought to give to his sweetheart, and the last time he came back from Nanzhou, he wanted to give it to his sweetheart, but he saw that his sweetheart had already married a wife.
He had no choice but to give up, and the golden hairpin was also put into a drawer by him, but he didn't expect it to be stolen by this woman, and it was really a thief.
Nangong Yi counted the silver tickets in his hand, there were as many as 10,000 taels, he hooked the corners of his lips and laughed, but his eyes were full of coldness: "I didn't expect Mother Zhang to be a capable person!" You have earned so much silver in just one year since you came to my house, I really sigh to myself! ”
"The slave and maid know that they are wrong, and ask the son to be kind and forgive the slave and maid!" Zhang's mother cried heartbreakingly, but the people around her did not show any sympathy.
In Nangong Mansion, there is more silver than the palace maid, and Nangong Yi usually does not treat them harshly, the clothes for the season, and the silver reward for the festival are all there.
No one has the courage to go to the shops with the courage of a bear-hearted leopard, and today they can be regarded as long-sighted.
