A dim light illuminated a desk behind a large mulberry wood lattice partition.
After Guo Guan came back, he kept sitting behind the desk.
The door of the bedroom was pushed open, and the book boy Xiao Zhu came in with hot water. Seeing Guo Guan still maintaining this posture, he said: "Sir, you have memorized these letters after reading them. It's time to rest!"
"
Guo Guan said nothing, only raised his hand and waved it.
Xiao Zhu put down the hot water and came over: "Sir, don't worry."
He looked at the pages of letters spread out in front of Guo Guan's desk. They were all sent from Linbi Township this morning.
"By the way, sir, are you sure that the person who went to Linbi Township to inquire is Yao Zide?" Xiao Zhu asked again.
After a while, Guo Guandao: "Yeah."
"So is he dead now?"
"I don't know." Guo Guan shook his head.
"Hey, this Yao Zide is really nosy. This kind of person should die soon!"
With that said, Xiao Zhu turned around and prepared to leave.
Guo Guan stopped him: "Have you been able to move freely these days?"
"Well, it's smooth to go in. No one stopped me or followed me."
"What about leaving the city? Will anyone stop you when you leave the city?"
"Here, I didn't leave the city, but these letters," Xiao Zhu pointed out, "when they were delivered in, no one stopped or followed them."
Guo Guan was puzzled: "Tell me, why is this? She really just left me alone?"
"I don't know," Xiao Zhu scratched his head, "Anyway, I'm quite uneasy. The Fang family was taken care of by her, something happened in the Kangku Mansion, Bian Kejin and the other three hanged themselves, and Ding Wang became a mad dog. Otherwise, Mr.
, Shall I go to Gaochengyuan tomorrow?"
"Don't go," Guo Guan said softly, "The whole Hengxiang is in the palm of her hand. Just because she didn't send someone to keep an eye on you before doesn't mean she won't do it in the future. Now in Hengxiang, she can do whatever she wants.
Just do whatever you want.”
"That's right, I can't lead people to Gaochengyuan. When the time comes for us to escape, we still have to look at Gaochengyuan." As he said this, Xiao Zhu suddenly cheered up and said, "Sir, if you think like this, even if she can keep her composure,
She has never done anything to us, but that's a good thing! The longer she delays, the farther Madam and the others will escape. When the lord's army gathers, whether it's her Xia family army or Yan army, we will kill them all! And, that
The guards who have followed Shen Lie for many years and have followed him through life and death have been cut into pieces by us. We have already shit on their heads! It's worth it!"
Guo Guan frowned and waved his hand, signaling for him to leave.
Xiao Zhu resigned, but he just reached the door and raised his hand to open the door, only to see two government guards outside the door about to knock on the door.
Xiao Zhu was startled and shouted fiercely: "Who are you!"
After saying that, my heart skipped a beat. Although I kept thinking about why Xia Jiajun didn't take action, I was still scared when I saw the people in the yamen.
"Little brother, you are quite angry!" the Yamen Guard said, "Have you met Mr. again?"
Guo Guan heard this and said, "What do you want from me?"
"Are you Chen Youjian?" the Yamen guard looked him up and down.
"It's Mr. Chen."
"Oh, do you know Jiang Yu from Gaochengyuan?"
As soon as he heard these three words, the expression of the little book boy Xiao Zhu next to him suddenly changed.
Guo Guan paused and said, "I don't know him. Why did the official mention this person?"
"General Ali knew you would say you didn't know him," the Yamen Guard snorted, "Stop pretending, you're lucky, everyone in Gao Chengyuan was killed, and you don't have to pay back the gambling money you owe Jiang Yan!"
Guo Guan and Xiao Zhu opened their eyebrows at the same time.
"The whole family was killed? Gaochengyuan?" Guo Guan shouted.
"Hey, didn't you just say you didn't know Jiang Yu? Are you no longer pretending?"
"Who did it?" Xiao Zhu said angrily, "Is it that Ah Li?"
"Hey!" Another yamen guard immediately yelled, "You brat, what do you mean by that Ah Li? That's General Ah Li!"
"What are you thinking? General Ali went to destroy Gaochengyuan. There is something wrong with his brain!" said the Yamen Guard. "I also suspected that you were the murderers. You owed a lot of gambling debts to others. Now that they are dead, you don't have to pay them back.
!”
"Okay," said another yamen guard, "we are here to bring this message. The message has been brought, let's go."
After saying that, they turned around and left, speaking at the same time without fear of being heard by Guo Guan and Xiao Zhu.
"That's it, sir. On the surface, he is a good teacher, but secretly he is so willing to gamble!"
"It's great luck, the creditor is dead!"
Xiao Zhu stared at them, closed the door, and then looked up at Guo Guan: "Sir..."
Both of their faces were ugly, pale and bloodless.
"It must be that bitch Ah Li who did it! She killed all the people in Gao Chengyuan, and even sent the Yamen Guards here to deliver the message! She is playing tricks on us, this bitch, killing people is heartbreaking!" Xiao Zhu said bitterly.
Guo Guan felt his legs were numb. He stumbled back to the partition, holding the desk with his palms and sweating all over his head.
"Sir, what should we do?" Xiao Zhu followed, "If that bitch doesn't take action against us, there's nothing we can do!"
"Yes, so passive." Guo Guan murmured.
Even if someone was sent to assassinate him, it would be fine. He had already prepared and was waiting for her to take action. Any action would be fine.
"She is torturing us!!" Xiao Zhu shouted, "She must be trying to drive us crazy. No matter what we do, sir, we have to stay calm!"
"Yes, you are right," Guo Guan said, "We must stay calm."
At the same time, the door of a farmyard near Kangku Prefecture was banged hard.
Someone was talking in the courtyard, but when they heard the rude knock on the door, their voices suddenly stopped.
Not long after, all the lights that were still on in the courtyard were extinguished.
Now, the banging on the door outside the courtyard became louder.
Ji Sheng looked at Zhao Yu who was hiding in the corner in the dark, and said in a low voice: "Master, there is no difference between us and others. Besides, this is still someone else's territory."
Zhao Gong didn't say a word, pretending that he couldn't hear anything, and tried his best to push his tall and thin body into the corner for a few inches.
The knocking on the door outside the hospital suddenly became silent.
Zhao Xun poked half of his head out, his handsome and beautiful eyes moving up and down and left and right.
With a "bang" sound, the courtyard door was kicked open.
Jian Jun strode in with a few soldiers and shouted: "Prince Zhao! Stop hiding!"
None of Zhao Xun's men dared to step forward to stop him. They only held up their unsheathed weapons and retreated to both sides.
Two rows of torches were brightly lit outside the courtyard. Standing in the middle was a girl in white clothes facing the wind, playing with a silver whip in her hand. Her whole body was dyed with a soft orange glow by the firelight.
Ji Sheng sighed inwardly when he saw this posture. When he saw the girl walking across the courtyard, he hurriedly greeted her: "Miss Ali."
"Where's Zhao Yu?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"Your Majesty, he is not here." Ji Sheng stammered.
"Really?" Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips and smiled, then raised her hand and waved her fingers, "Grab it."
Jian Jun and others immediately pounced on Ji Sheng and pinned him down on the Eight Immortals table in the lobby.
Jian Jun's soldiers drew out their daggers and spread all of Ji Sheng's fingers.
