At first glance, this scene looked like something bad had happened. Although Gu Chengyu was still young, he was still a foreigner, and the girl might have died of shame and anger when he bumped into her!
The boy asked Gu Chengyu to carry it down all the way, and he was a little out of breath, "Cough! Cough! Mr. Gu, the little one was almost strangled to death by Mr. Gu!"
Gu Chengyu smiled awkwardly, "In urgent matters, please take care of me!" Because he was in a hurry, he ran over holding the boy's collar.
After the boy regained his breath, he asked: "Why did Mr. Gu take the little one away so fast? Maybe one of the sisters suffered some injustice and came here to cry! However, Mr. Gu is really strong.
Ah! You can run so fast while carrying a small one!"
After thinking about it for a while, the boy realized that it was some girl who was serving the master who had been wronged and came here to cry. After all, there was almost no one here at night!
Gu Chengyu didn't say the reason, but urged the boy to take him another way!
When Gu Chengyu and the others returned to the flower hall, the banquet was coming to an end. Ye Zhiqiu complained about why Gu Chengyu had been gone for so long. He was too old to drink and was not good at talking. Sitting like this was boring!
"I feel sick in my stomach, I came a little late, don't worry! It will be over soon!" Gu Chengyu saw that everyone was almost drunk, and they were not very familiar with each other, so they probably didn't go back drunk! He looked at his seat and sat down
Wang Tongzhi, who is subordinate to the governor of Chiang Kai-shek, did not find an opportunity tonight. It seems that he will pay a visit in person tomorrow!
"Master!" Steward Yu walked in from outside the flower hall in a hurry. He lowered his head and said something in Jiang Zhifu's ear. Jiang Zhifu frowned and then stood up.
"Everyone! There are still some things in the government. Let's talk about it some other time! As for the steward, please send them out!" After finishing speaking, Magistrate Jiang hurried away.
"My lords! Please follow me!"
Gu Chengyu looked thoughtfully at the place where Magistrate Jiang left in a hurry. What could be so urgent? He suddenly thought of the girl he met just now. Could it be related to her? But such a girl could disturb Jiang.
Prefect? This is a matter of the inner house, and the wife of the house has the final say. Why is Prefect Chiang so anxious?
In any case, this had nothing to do with Gu Chengyu. He followed the candidates in front and walked out of the flower hall. However, when they walked outside the flower hall, they found that there were many people gathered around the small lake on the right. They were holding lanterns.
Some people were holding sticks in their hands, and they didn't know what they were hitting in the pond. Some people were shouting that they couldn't find it, so they asked people on the shore to go down and find it!
Such a loud noise could be heard by Gu Chengyu and others even if they were staying in the flower hall. No wonder the magistrate Jiang immediately arranged for someone to send them away!
Gu Chengyu's heart skipped a beat. He thought of the girl. She wouldn't have thrown herself into the lake, right? I hope it wasn't what he thought. If it was true, it would be a crime. At that time, he just wanted to avoid right and wrong, but he didn't expect that the ancient woman Zhenlie...
Maybe the woman was insulted and actually committed suicide by jumping into the lake!
Gu Chengyu was in a daze and glanced there several times, but the shouts from the people at the lake made him think that the woman had probably jumped into the lake!
Gu Chengyu felt a little uncomfortable, and the woman was a little pitiful. In fact, even if he saved her, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but it was a human life!
"Huh? I don't know what happened there?" Ye Zhiqiu said softly in Gu Chengyu's ear.
Suddenly someone shouted over there: "It's caught! It's caught!"
The lake was not far from here, and there was enough light there. Everyone looked over there, and when they saw it, what they fished out turned out to be a person?
Suddenly, the candidates in front started whispering, "How could someone die here?"
"Shhh! Don't talk nonsense. Rich families have a lot of right and wrong!"
Manager Yu in front felt that it was not good for everyone to see this scene, so he quickly quickened his pace and wanted to send the candidates out quickly.
Which wealthy family doesn't want a subordinate to die? There are many servants in the official family who have been betrayed and beaten to death. The death of a subordinate is not a problem for the manager. However, the person who died this time is a little special.
I called the master over, but the most important thing is that the girl died in the outer courtyard!
"Madam!" Manager Yu was leading the way, but suddenly he saw Ms. Yu coming from the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard had been locked for a long time, because the person died in the outer courtyard, so the boss was notified first, and then the lock was unlocked.
In the inner courtyard, I didn't expect to bump into him.
Yu was an elder. There were so many people among these juniors that it was impossible for any rumors to spread. But Manager Yu felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at Gu Chengyu who was standing behind the crowd, and stood forward.
It just covered Gu Chengyu's figure.
"Students have met the prefect's wife!" Since the candidates had met her, they had no choice but to salute.
"It turns out that the master is hosting a banquet for the students, so there is no need to be polite. There is something going on at home today, and I hope you can forgive me for neglecting everyone! As for the affairs in the house, please don't make random guesses!"
Gu Chengyu just took a quick look at Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu looked dignified, but spoke with a very arrogant expression. To be able to say these words, he must have not taken these students seriously.
In the Dayan Dynasty, servants who signed a contract to sell themselves lived or died with their master. If they met a good master and worked well, they would naturally survive. If they met a cruel one, they could only count themselves.
Unfortunately, these were all sold privately, and apparently they were sold to the wrong place.
For things like this, it can be said that the girl did not do her errand well and couldn't think about it, so she jumped into the lake. Even if the censor wants to take part in their book, there is no evidence, right? At most, it is a case of laxity in the inner house, and it is not a good deed.
Home hat.
"Manager Yu! Send them out!" Mr. Yu held the handkerchief and waved his hand. With a bunch of students who are not even scholars, the master still wants to entertain guests?
"Yes! Madam!" Manager Yu stood, thinking that Mr. Yu was gone, and then turned around. If Ms. Yu saw Gu Chengyu, it would be a disaster.
Guanshi Yu felt a headache when he thought of such a situation. When his wife was in her parents' home, she was raised very arrogantly by her family. Marrying the master was also considered a second marriage. Something like this happened many years ago. The wife was in trouble for a long time, and even the master
I don't care about my future.
But the master is a successful man, so what if he is Yu's companion? The head of the family is always the master! Naturally, he can only listen to the master.
But Yu didn't move. Who could bear to see a dead person this late at night? It would be better for a girl like that to die!
When Manager Yu saw that Mr. Yu didn't seem to be going to the lake, he was miserable. He could only ask the students to go out, while blocking Gu Chengyu as much as possible with his body.
Yu suddenly remembered that the head of the case this time was an eight-year-old child prodigy, and she wanted to see it.
"Wait a minute! I heard that the person in charge of the case this time is an eight-year-old kid. I don't know who it is?" Mrs. Yu's line of sight was blocked by Manager Yu, so she asked.
