"If these officials are willing to let me go, I won't hurt her." The man looked a little excited. He was also unlucky today to be blocked by these people.
He stared at the official with a sinister expression on his face. In fact, he also knew that kidnapping this little girl was of no use. How could these people care about the life and death of a commoner?
But you have to try everything, right? Maybe it can actually be of some use?
At the same time, Liu Su'er was also wailing in her heart. She originally closed the door and let the day pass. But who would have thought that this person would break into her house and even kidnap her.
She didn't know who this person was, or whether he was the one the officials wanted to arrest. However, none of this mattered now. She only knew that this person wanted to use her as a threat to escape from this place.
But would the officials let this person go because of her? This is absolutely impossible. She is just a commoner now. Even if she dies, it will only be considered bad luck for her.
The most the government could do was to pay some money, and the matter would have to be left alone.
But she still had something to do, how could she die inexplicably at the hands of the government or this person? She would never be willing to do so.
Liu Suer's mind was spinning, but she racked her brains and couldn't think of any way to escape.
When Gu Chengyu and Ming Yan rushed to the noisy place, they only saw some officials holding sabers in their hands, surrounding the gate of a house. A few steps away, there were a few ordinary people who were not afraid of trouble, poking their heads.
.
"What happened?" Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, it didn't look like he was catching an assassin.
Because the man and Liu Su'er were blocked by the crowd, Gu Chengyu couldn't see what was going on inside.
The surrounding officers heard Gu Chengyu's voice and quickly moved out of the way.
"Sir," everyone saluted and shouted in unison.
Liu Suer's eyes couldn't help but look at the young man walking towards him. She saw that the young man was wearing a moon-white fur-trimmed cloak and a white jade crown. His handsome and handsome appearance looked even more noble under this simple and elegant attire.
Infuriating.
This person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of silver light, making him very eye-catching in the gray night.
Liu Suer's eyes narrowed, this person should be Gu Chengyu
She had never met Gu Chengyu before, but asked Uncle Qin to inquire about his appearance and character.
Gu Chengyu has a great reputation in the capital, and he can tell some stories about any local hawker he picks out.
I heard that this person was very talented, and he was very good at strategy. It was this person who proposed the reform of tea tax and salt tax two years ago. Although tea merchants and tea farmers had mixed praise and criticism for Gu Chengyu, this person had a good reputation among the people.
.
After all, there was a flood in Jiangnan just before, and the imperial court sent this person to Jiangnan to provide relief. I heard that this person controlled the flood before the imperial court issued relief funds. Not only did he stop the riots of the victims, but he also built
River embankment.
Although Jiangnan is far away from the capital, there are many traders traveling between the two places.
Gu Chengyu's deeds in Jiangnan have long been spread in the capital.
Liu Su'er took the risk to contact him because she thought this person was capable.
From what Gu Chengyu did, we can see that this person is different from those corrupt officials, or officials who care about matters that have nothing to do with themselves. He is an official who truly cares about the people.
If you ask such a person for help, the other party will be less likely to refuse.
"Sir, I don't know who this person is. When we were searching just now, we asked this person to show his household registration as a guide, but we didn't want this person to run away. When we saw that the situation was wrong, we immediately chased him. Unexpectedly, this person ran here.
, and also kidnapped this girl.”
As soon as Gu Chengyu came over, he saw the kidnapped girl. What should this girl be called Su'er?
He had seen this woman's appearance before when she stopped their carriage, and Gu Chengyu's suspicion arose again.
Is this kidnapping a conspiracy or a coincidence?
He stared at the man and the girl with his eyes, but said nothing.
"Who are you?" The man tightened his arms, and Liu Su'er suddenly felt her shoulders being grasped tightly, which made her frown in pain.
"Who are you and why did you want to kidnap this girl?" Gu Chengyu stood three meters away from the man, looking at the dagger on Liu Su'er's neck and raising her eyebrows.
There was already a trace of blood on Qishang Saixue's skin. Liu Suer's eyebrows were furrowed and her lips were a little pale. It was probably caused by pain and nervousness in her heart.
Looking at the man's movements and expression, it didn't look like he was acting this time. The man had dark skin and wore coarse clothes. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong and thick arms.
Judging from his appearance and clothing, he didn't look like an assassin. Gu Chengyu analyzed it in his mind and suddenly came to a conclusion.
"You, don't care who I am, I want to leave here, or I will kill her."
When the man saw Gu Chengyu appear, his expression became even more nervous. The dagger in his hand couldn't help but move closer to Liu Su'er's neck. Blood flowed down the dagger and dripped on Liu Su'er's front.
He looked Gu Chengyu up and down. Although this person was very young, these officials just called him "Sir", so he should be an official.
If this person gave the order, these officials would not dare to stop him.
Gu Chengyu pondered for a while. There were many people watching here. Those people who did not dare to come out to watch the excitement opened the door a crack and poked their heads in.
If he disregards this woman's life and captures this person, tomorrow the whole capital will be rumored that he does not care about the lives of the people and is a cold-hearted person.
But asking him to let this person go is definitely not possible. This person must have committed some serious crime, otherwise he would not run away when he saw the government.
He glanced behind him and exchanged a look with Ming Yan. Ming Yan immediately understood and slowly backed away.
At this time, a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and everyone's sight became clearer.
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but become more anxious. It was dawn.
Liu Su'er stared into Gu Chengyu's eyes. There was no fluctuation in the young man's eyes, like an endless abyss with no end in sight. What these eyes brought her was only indifference and coldness.
She was also a little panicked at the moment. She and Gu Chengyu had never known each other before. If the other party was really cruel, wouldn't she be killed by it?
Thinking of what was under the pedal, Liu Su'er opened her mouth and looked at Gu Chengyu with pleading eyes.
An officer pulled the sleeve of the person next to him and whispered softly, "Zhang Yang, don't be impulsive. With Master Gu here, Miss Liu will be fine."
Zhang Yang's hand holding the saber tightened again. He didn't know what Mr. Gu meant by not speaking up until now. Did Mr. Gu not intend to care about Miss Liu's life or death?
Seeing the fear on Liu Suer's beautiful face, her pale lips pressed together tightly.
It was the first time he had met Miss Liu just now, but he had already moved his mind. Now he must not want to see her die like this.
"But" as soon as Zhang Yang opened his mouth, the person next to him covered his mouth.
"Then how did I know that you would let this girl go after you escaped?" From the corner of his eye, Gu Chengyu caught a glimpse of Ming Yan jumping onto the roof, and then lightly jumped onto the courtyard wall.
