Chapter 7 Meeting

The moment Gu Mingzhu climbed onto the man's robe, a strong force came towards her, throwing her body away, and then she fell firmly to the ground.

The man's eyes narrowed unhappily, and a little cold air was emitting, as if she dared to pounce on her again, and he would poke a hole in her with a sword.

The ordinary people naturally turned pale in fear, but she was just a silly girl, her mind became chaotic, and she couldn't understand those obscure expressions. If you want to say what emotions she could have, it was that she was just thrown to death and couldn't suppress her sadness, so she screamed: "Mother... Baotong... Wuwuwu..."

The sound was deafening, as if it could resound throughout the Jinta Temple.

Wei Yuanchen frowned again. The woman in front of him looked stupid. What she did seemed ridiculous to others, but without such a ignorant look, it would only scare people.

A weak woman, but she looks like a habitual criminal who often kills people, is neat and ruthless, and does not give the man any chance to resist.

The eldest daughter of Huaiyuan Hou is a fool, which is well known to everyone in the court. As a noble family, how can she pretend to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years? Unless the entire Gu family is helping to deceive outsiders.

What is the purpose of the Hou Mansion making such a trick? He did not find a suitable reason and could not question Miss Gu's stupidity.

However, the future is long, and the case of Huaiyuan Hou is still in his hands, so he will find an opportunity to find out the truth.

Wei Yuanchen raised his foot and walked down the mountain. Gu Mingzhu, who was originally lying on the ground, immediately got up and chased after him.

Miss Gu had tears on her face, and she looked weak and helpless, extremely pitiful.

It's like the dew on the grass leaves, crystal clear and subtle and harmless, but as long as you walk over, you can silently wet the corners of your clothes by them.

Wei Yuanchen kept walking forward.

The man was very big, and Gu Mingzhu had to chase him very hard. He thought that he would speed up his pace in a blink of an eye and disappear without a trace. At that time, she could sit down and rest and wait for her family to come over, but his pace did not change, so that she could follow her all the way, but she could not catch up, as if she was playing with her.

If she felt annoyed because of this, she would have to show some clues on her face, and then the man would have caught her feet and hurt her feet. Fortunately, she had adapted to Gu Mingzhu's identity, so how could she be exposed casually?

A child who had just been frightened did not dare to be alone again. Even if that person was hateful, he would follow him closely.

One walks, the other chases.

She covered up very well, and he was patient.

Gu Mingzhu took advantage of the opportunity to wipe her tears and took a candied fruit and put it into her mouth. The man in front of her was indeed not that easy to fool. Fortunately, although he suspected it, there was no definite evidence.

The bronze mirror in her hand was from the Jinta Temple. She kept holding it and fiddling with it. The mirror would shine the sun on the eyes of the murderer. It was purely a coincidence. As for why she pushed the murderer, it was naturally because she was panicked when she saw a stranger pounced on her, so she reached out to resist.

Although this statement cannot be out of her mouth, after speculation and verification, everyone will sort out the whole thing. People in the temple will also say that she is holding the Cunti treasure mirror in her hand, and that Cunti Guanyin has made great mercy and saved her life.

The man was suspicious and could not change the result, but she would have to be more careful in front of this person in the future.

It was precisely because of such concern that I took a break to look at this person.

She could not know anything about this person who might threaten her.

The man wore a patch under his robe and wrapped it with such a layer of clothes, which made him more steady and restrained. I think he always paid great attention to these things.

He is not old and has a bit of power, but he still has this. What he does on weekdays is probably far beyond his age.

There were at least two daggers around his waist, and there should be an object similar to a talisman under his robe. Unfortunately, her fingers just "inadvertently" swept past his waist and did not touch it clearly.

These details made her make a rough guess about this person. He was probably from the government office and had an official position. He appeared here because he was eyeing the murderer.

Whether this is the case needs to be proved.

As for appearance, she didn't look too carefully. The face of a person is the most lie. For a stranger, she is interested in his habits, dress, and the objects she carries with him. Finally, she will think about his expression, so there is only a rough outline in her mind.

The pair of deep phoenix eyes as deep as a cold pond made her feel a little familiar, but the indifference and alienation in it were never seen in her life.

Gu Mingzhu was thinking about it and saw someone coming from a distance. When she saw Mrs. Lin clearly, she immediately shouted: "Mother...Mother...I'm here." It seemed that she had forgotten the man.

When the family comes, strangers naturally pass through the ladder and throw them away after using it. This behavior is in line with her identity.

When Mrs. Lin saw her daughter, her tight heart finally relaxed a little. She quickly walked to Gu Mingzhu and hugged Gu Mingzhu in her arms: "Zhuzhu, where have you been? How could you make it like this?"

Gu Mingzhu hugged Mrs. Lin’s neck and continued to cry: “Mother, I can’t find you, I can’t find Baotong…”

Mrs. Lin gently patted Gu Mingzhu's back: "Don't be afraid, Zhuzhu, mother is here, mother will take you home now."

After a while, Gu Mingzhu stopped crying.

Although Mrs. Lin didn't want her daughter to be sad anymore, she still had to ask some questions. The embarrassment of her daughter was obviously going through twists and turns.

Mrs. Lin looked around nervously: "Zhuzhu, how did you come here? Have you seen anyone?" When she came back from the Dharma Assembly, she saw Baotong sleeping on the wooden collapse. She finally woke Baotong up and asked clearly the origin of the whole incident.

Only then did she realize that someone had deliberately put medicine in the refreshment. Zhuzhu must have been taken away if she was not in the Zen room. Thinking of this, she was scared and sweated coldly. She immediately ordered her family to find him, but fortunately she found Zhuzhu.

When Gu Mingzhu heard this, she seemed to remember something and immediately raised her head and searched around.

Mrs. Lin was shocked by the alarm and immediately looked at the manager beside her.

The manager asked and surrounded Mrs. Lin and Gu Mingzhu in the middle.

The Gu family searched around, but no trace of others was found.

Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter worriedly: "Someone follows you?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded.

Mrs. Lin's heart was about to raise her throat: "Then did he do anything to you?"

Gu Mingzhu thought about it carefully, then reached out and touched the place on her waist where the rope was wrapped: "He...he..." But she didn't know what to say, her little face was full of anxious expressions.

Zhou San’s wife and Zhou Ruzhang happened to come over. Seeing Gu Mingzhu’s embarrassing appearance, Zhou Ruzhang couldn’t help but feel happy. The fool finally suffered. The depression that had been accumulated in her chest for many days immediately dissipated.

Standing beside and looking for a while, Zhou Ruzhang became more and more happy. Although Gu Mingzhu didn't explain it clearly, she understood that this silly girl was clearly being flirted with.

If you are flirted by a murderer, you will inevitably be laughed at if you spread it.

"Mrs. Lin, you'd better stop asking," Zhou Ruzhang walked up to him and whispered, "There are so many people here, so it may make Mingzhu sister famous."

As soon as Zhou Ruzhang finished speaking, he felt his waist tightening. Gu Mingzhu had somehow left Mrs. Lin's arms and walked over and hugged her waist.

Zhou Ruzhang was about to struggle, but suddenly realized what Gu Mingzhu meant and hurriedly stopped the manager's mother who came forward: "It's okay, Sister Mingzhu wants to show everyone what she has just happened."

It seemed that everything was really as she thought, and I wondered what happened next.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ruzhang stopped struggling and raised his eyes to see Mrs. Lin's sad expression. However, the next moment, Gu Mingzhu's hand suddenly let go and pushed her heavily. She was not prepared and immediately fell to the ground without any preparation.

There was a silence around immediately.

The fall was so strong that it hurts a stone on his arm, which makes Zhou Ruzhang almost cry.

Damn fool, she obviously suffered a great loss, but at this time she couldn't have an attack. Zhou Ruzhang had red eyes and bit her lips tightly.

The Zhou family manager came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhou Ruzhang.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly apologized: "How is this good? She hurt Miss Tuesday."

"Zhuzhu, you..." Mrs. Lin was reluctant to blame her, but she couldn't help but act. Miss Zhou Er's expression just now made her feel quite unhappy.

Mrs. Zhou San was about to speak, but unexpectedly was interrupted by Baotong next to her: "Miss, is that person pushing you?"

Gu Mingzhu looked at Baotong happily and nodded constantly.

The man wrapped the rope around her waist and threw her to the ground. He would ask questions when passing by the yamen. Since this is the case, she might as well explain it through Zhou Ruzhang.

If Zhou Ruzhang wants to watch the show, he has to work hard.

"Madam, the people from the yamen have come and said they have found the murderer at the foot of the mountain."

Mrs. Lin was delighted: "Let's go over and take a look."

The loss of female relatives in the temple was a big deal. The yamen and the Gu family searched separately. The Gu family found Miss Gu on the mountain, and the yamen found the murderer falling from the hillside.

This man was wearing a monk's robe and looked like a novice monk. The presiding in the temple stepped forward to identify and found that he was not a monk in the temple.

"Amitabha." The monk in the temple couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name.

The women were talking a lot, but fortunately, the Bodhisattva blessed me and nothing big happened.

The magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture rushed over, glanced at the seriously injured and unconscious murderer, and immediately went to see Mrs. Huaiyuanhou: "Madam, can you ask the eldest lady to go and identify it?"

Miss Gu was already insane, so she naturally couldn't recognize the murderer. She could only gesture randomly like dancing, which probably made everyone know the whole story.

Most importantly, she revealed that today she met two people on the mountain, one fell down the hillside and the other left.

The Taiyuan Prefecture General organized the whole matter into a confession, and sent it to a yard without stopping, and handed it to Wei Yuanchen respectfully.

Seeing Wei Yuanchen reading the entire confession, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture spoke carefully: "Mr. Wei, the eldest lady of the Huaiyuan Hou family said that she met another murderer, is it...you?"

"Ah".

The magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture seemed to hear laughter from outside the door.

But soon the sound of "giggle, gagle" came again. The magistrate of Taiyuan Mansion understood that it was not a person laughing, but a hen laying an egg at the place where Lord Wei was staying.

"Sir, this place is close to the market, so no one below finds a place for you." There was sweat on the forehead of the Tongzong of Taiyuan Prefecture. If the Cui family and the Empress knew that he was neglecting Lord Wei like this, he might not have had a good result.

This is a son of a foreign relative who is deeply trusted by the emperor.

Wei Yuanchen spoke a rude tone: "How much do you know about that Miss Gu?"

The Tongzong of Taiyuan Prefecture wiped the sweat from his forehead: "That person has been silly since he was a child."
