Chapter 100: Cui Red Mansion Rescues
The county magistrate covered the sky with one hand in the local area, and gave a hundred taels of gold to the envoy Lu Shouwen, and from the amount of gifts, you can guess the huge profits he grabs every year.
After the two discussed, they decided not to startle the snake first, quietly accepted the gift money and went to Beihu, and when they came back to the capital to tell the emperor, find out the county order backer, and then eradicate it by the roots.
Going to Dong E's hometown, Gu Shengchao was covered in dust, he returned to his guest room to prepare for a bath, and found that there were also cowhide pockets on the table, and after opening it, there were 100 taels of silver inside.
This county order can be operated in this place without revealing the mountains and waters, but the imperial court knows nothing, and the network behind it must be extraordinary.
Resting that night, Gu Shengchao took the money bag and went to Lu Shouwen to explain the situation early the next morning, and Lu Shouwen laughed.
"Where does Second Brother Lu's laughter come from?" The other party was inexplicably happy, and Gu Shengchao was furious in his heart.
Patting Gu Shengchao's shoulder, Lu Shouwen opened a small wooden box, which was full of identical pockets.
"In addition to you, other deputy envoys also sent it, but the amount of money in it varied, some were sent as intact as you, some were packed with fifty taels, and some were packed with thirty taels, who do you think I should believe?"
Gu Shengchao pretended to be serious and said: "Needless to say, whoever gives more gifts will listen to whomever they want, isn't it natural?" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The mission spent several days repairing in the area, and in addition to the horses and vehicles, a few camels were added to facilitate access to the desert.
Guides are also essential, as is plenty of food and drinking water, and the vehicle is as much space as possible.
Sleep for one night and start tomorrow the county order arranged a feast to entertain everyone after the banquet gu shengchao returned to the guest room there were already women dressed up waiting but it was not dong e.
"Who told you to come in, get out, I want the girl from last time." The ancient saint shouted loudly.
The woman was frightened, but she resigned, "Your Excellency, I will be punished if I am driven away." ”
Although he was a little unbearable in his heart, Gu Shengchao still drove her away because he had a lot to say to Dong E.
The woman was unwilling, but she was helpless, and left with tears in her eyes.
After a while, a more bewitching woman came in, and Ying Ying saluted: "This master is angry, the girl last time was unwell and couldn't accompany her, so let the slave family serve the adult." ”
Gu Shengchao looked up and down, although this woman looked frivolous with heavy makeup, her demeanor was generous and decent, she was not stage frightened at all, and she should have some status in the Cuihong Mansion. It's not like the girl just now who was timid and scared and groveling, and she didn't have the slightest right to speak at first glance.
He had a plan in his mind.
Sitting on the chair and resting his feet on the edge of the bed, Gu Shengchao looked leisurely and complacent.
"Where is that girl uncomfortable, the official will have some medical skills, and I will find her to prescribe the right medicine for the pulse, and keep the medicine until the disease is cured."
The woman's face was ashamed: "My lord, it is not easy for her to have sex with her when she comes, and I ask your understanding not to embarrass her." ”
"I see, let's go inside with me and take a bath first!"
Gu Shengchao walked in front, the woman followed behind with her hands down, she was relieved at the moment, threw the shawl and thin jacket on the bed, and only wore obscene clothes and pants to enter.
The bathing huts are damp and dark, with shelled beetles and mosquitoes hiding in the corners.
Lighting the candle, the ancient saint was like electricity in his hand, pinching one with two fingers in an instant, and stepping on the other with the tip of his toes.
He placed the two insects in the palm of his hand, and his five fingers were slightly closed, so that the beetle trapped inside could be seen through the gap between his fingers.
The palm of his hand stretched out in front of the woman, frightening her face, covering her eyes with her hands and screaming: "Adult, throw it away, the slave family is afraid." ”
"Really?" Gu Shengchao pulled off the woman's slender jade hand that was blindfolded.
When she opened her eyes, the black worm in Gu Shengchao's palm was right in front of her, her legs couldn't stop trembling, and she was about to run.
"Wait." Gu Shengchao grabbed her lotus root arm, and in front of her, a layer of transparent things condensed on the two insects, like cold ice trapping them inside.
Holding her delicate little hand, the two of them crossed their fingers together.
The woman's face turned pale with fright: "Bugs, bugs, bugs are in my hands." ”
Letting go of his hand, Gu Shengchao showed her that the worm had disappeared.
The woman staggered out, fell and got up, she took off her whole body clothes and pants, and cried and slapped her chest and back, lest the insects climb on her skin.
Seeing Gu Shengchao walking out of the hut, the woman was busy pleading and pleading, and tears actually fell: "Your Excellency spares the slave family, the slave family knows why the adult is angry, as long as you can make the adult angry, don't tease the slave family." ”
"I have planted worm Gu for you, if there is a lie, let the worm bite you in the stomach, you must know the taste." Gu Shengchao warned.
The woman lowered her head, stroked her abdomen with her hand, and her whole body began to tremble.
"Tell me, why didn't the woman named Dong E come over?" Gu Shengchao was half lying at the head of the bed.
The woman looked up, and said with obvious scruples: "The slave family told the truth, and the adults have to keep it secret for the slave family, otherwise the slave family's life will not be guaranteed." ”
"I promise you." Gusheng Super Guarantee.
The woman hesitated for a moment, looked through the crack in the door, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, then leaned over and knelt beside Gu Shengchao and whispered: "Dong E picked up a distinguished guest from the coal mine the day before, and somehow, suddenly found scissors and stabbed the guest, almost killing the person. Annoyed, the bustard's mother beat her half to death in front of the guest, and now she is thrown into the dungeon of the Emerald Red Building, saying that she is waiting for the guest to recover and leave it to the man. ”
Gu Shengchao stood up uneasily: "Where is the dungeon you are talking about, and where is Dong E locked up?" ”
Listening attentively to the fact that there was no one outside, the woman leaned into Gu Shengchao's ear and said: "Cuihong Mansion is three miles east of the Hualou, there is a dungeon in the backyard, and it is not big inside, as long as you enter, you can find Dong E." ”
So that's the case, Gu Shengchao threatened: "I planted a worm Gu for you, which should be clear, and you should also understand what you should say and what you shouldn't say." ”
"Understood, understood." The woman nodded like pounded garlic.
Gu Shengchao turned off the lights and stood behind the door to sense the situation outside.
There are two people guarding the gate of the courtyard, and another person checking in the corridor on the second floor. From the crack in the door, you can see that the two people at the door are standing against the wall, and they can't see the third floor.
The man on the second floor is now going up the stairs, and he is right around the corner at the moment, and he can't see it.
Gu Shengchao dodged out, flew onto the roof, jumped down from behind, and turned back to the front street to run towards the Emerald Red Building.
After about a quarter of an hour, the lanterns of the north gate tower of the road are hung high, and in the middle are the three big characters of "Cuihong Building". Looking inside, the brightly lit color building is full of laughter and laughter, a lively scene.
Went around to the backyard of the Cuihong Building, sensed that there was no one in the wall, and turned over like a raccoon cat.
The backyard was messy, far from being as magnificent as the main entrance, and Gu Shengchao was worried that he couldn't find the dungeon, when he suddenly saw a wooden door in front of him with lights shining through.
He crept his way over, and there was a downward slope leading to the wooden door, which looked like a dungeon.
"Girl, you can take a bite, no matter what happens to him tomorrow, fill your stomach first." It's a man talking.
"I don't eat it, anyway, my father and brother are no longer there, and I can't take revenge, and I don't want to live anymore, so you can kill me." It was Dong E's voice, and there was also the sound of chains.
"I see that you are pitiful, so I will help you, don't kick your nose and face and don't know how to lift."
The man seemed to be coercing Dong E to do something, and she made a "whine" sound.
Gu Shengchao pushed open the wooden door and strode in.
A lantern hung behind the door.
The dungeon is indeed not big, there are six cages in it, Dong E's hands and feet are chained to the door, and there is no one else in the rest of the cages.
Her clothes were torn and her body was covered in blood.
The man was opening Dong E's mouth and forcibly pouring rice into it, but Dong E was also stubborn and insisted on spitting it out.
"Smack!"
The man slapped her with a flick of his hand, and her face, which was already bloodless, suddenly became red and swollen.
Hearing the movement behind him, the man thought it was his companion who didn't think so, he saw Dong E's face happy, and then he noticed something unusual, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a huge fist that had arrived at the door.
"Boom!"
The man hit his head against the wall and couldn't die again.
"Hurry up, my lord, it's dangerous here." Dong E saw that Gu Sheng was killing people with his hands, and she was terrified.
Reaching out to break the chains on Dong E's hands and feet, Gu Shengchao picked up the food box and handed it to her: "Eat, you can only take revenge when you are full, if you lose your life, what are you talking about revenge." Doesn't a worthless death make the enemy even happier? ”
"Can you help me get my revenge?" Dong E couldn't believe it.
"Absolutely." Gu Shengchao promised, "But it's not now, when we come back from Beihu, I will avenge the oppressed people in the county." ”
Listening to his promise, Dong E's scattered eyes regained hope, took the food box and devoured it.
When Dong E was full of food and drink, Gu Shengchao extinguished the lantern and helped her out of the dungeon, there was already a lock on the wooden door, and it was easy to lock it.
Reluctantly took a few steps forward, Dong E couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the side, but fortunately, Gu Shengchao grabbed it firmly and avoided injury.
Observing that there was no one around, Gu Shengchao picked up Dong E, jumped out of the wall, and disappeared into the night.
It took nearly an hour to settle Dong E.
Taking advantage of the night, he returned to the guest room of the Pink Flower Building from the same way.
In the middle of the night, people went to bed early, and Gu Shengchao went back quietly, and no one knew.
Only the woman in the house was uneasy, and when she saw that he had returned safely, she lit a candle and was full of joy: "My lord has returned, but the slave family is afraid to sleep." ”
"I'm worried that I'll fall into the net, and no one will give you the worm Gu!"
Seeing through her thoughts, the woman lowered her head and remained silent, for fear of annoying the other party and really ignoring her.
"Don't panic, I will do what I say, and I won't deceive you."
At that moment, Gu Shengchao relieved the woman of the worm Gu.
The woman looked at the two beetles that spit out, raised her shoes to slap, but hesitated for a long time but had no courage, so she had to throw away her shoes and flee to the bed to hide.
The lights were turned off, the two lay on the bed, and Gu Shengchao asked her: "Go back early tomorrow morning, you should know how to reply!" ”
"The slave knows." As the woman spoke, she leaned towards Gu Shengchao.
Gu Shengchao said dissatisfiedly: "Wait, with the middle of the bed as the boundary, if you come over for half a minute, I will still plant Gu for you." ”
Frightened, she hurried away, and the woman said softly: "The slave family said that he had fun with the adults all night, and never left the guest room half a step." ”
"It's good to know, since I can rescue Dong E, I can also give you Gu, I hope you can do it yourself." Gu Shengchao was afraid that she would go back and talk nonsense, so he warned first.
The woman was also frightened, and said in a low voice: "The slave family understands, and must be tight-lipped." ”
They all fell asleep gradually.
However, when the people in the flower building were still asleep, the officers and soldiers of the brigade had already surrounded the place.
The lights were bright, waking up Gu Shengchao and the woman who was curled up beside the bed and didn't dare to cross the line.
