Mu Yunhan was hugged by Gu Fenglin, and he flew on the wall of the house against the cold night wind.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, he finally stopped and led her into a courtyard.
Unable to see the direction and road clearly at night, Mu Yunhan looked at the stars and vaguely recognized that this was the southern end of the county.
The hunched old servant silently led them into a room, closed the door, and lit the candles.
The room was empty except for two chairs placed near the wall.
Gu Fenglin motioned for Mu Yunhan to take a seat and gave him a gentle high five.
There was a soft sound, and a person suddenly hung from the roof.
He was wearing a black oil coat, his hands and feet were tied up with a rope, and he was hung on a beam, with his head hanging down and his hair in a messy bun. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The old servant stepped forward, grabbed the man in black by his hair, and forced him to face Mu Yunhan and Gu Fenglin.
The man in black opened his eyes faintly, and after seeing Gu Fenglin clearly, his expression suddenly changed: "Eldest Master...please spare this villain, it's all Gu Changgui's fault, I can't do anything about it..."
Mu Yunhan roughly understood the identity of this person. Gu Changgui's confidants should also have participated in the assassination that night.
But he did not die, but was arrested.
Gu Fenglin made a gesture, and the old servant pulled out a knife without expression, cut off the man in black's ear with one click, and quickly blocked his mouth before he could scream.
Mu Yunhan was caught off guard and took a breath of surprise.
A cold hand pressed firmly on the back of her hand. Gu Fenglin did not look at her, but looked straight ahead calmly, with a gentle expression as if he was watching a play.
Mu Yunhan was in a state of confusion.
After he was revealed to be highly skilled in martial arts and able to speak, is he going to tear off another gentle and harmless skin?
However, she felt that this seemed to be the real him.
Of course he didn't bring her here just to scare her.
So she calmed down and waited quietly.
The man in black finally endured the pain, shook his head and tail, looked at Gu Fenglin desperately and pleadingly, and made an unclear voice: "Master... Gong... Zi..."
Gu Fenglin nodded, and the old servant let go of the man in black's mouth and continued to grab his other ear.
"What are you asking? I know everything and can tell you everything..." The man in black was twisted like a shrimp because of the pain, but he still tried his best to speak clearly in order to escape with his life.
The old servant asked: "Why does Gu Changgui want to go to the farm in the southern suburbs?"
The man in black said: "Before we left, the eldest lady told me that we must take this opportunity to bring the eldest son back. We can't let you wander alone. It's very pitiful..."
It's actually a euphemism.
Gu Fenglin was abandoned and expelled from Beijing to die. If he wanted to go back, he could only be a corpse.
The man in black peeked at Gu Fenglin's expression fearfully, fearing that he would kill him if he became unhappy.
Gu Fenglin expressionlessly knocked on the armrest of the chair, indicating to continue.
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "After arriving here, the second manager found that you were still alive. He was very surprised and thought that you must have found a way to extend your life..."
Gu Changgui gave these people a death order and must find out Gu Fenglin's contacts and living conditions in Liuxian County.
They encountered a lot of resistance, but the Sun Family Pharmacy has been operating here for many years and has some influence.
Before the assassination attempt, they finally knew who Mu Yunhan was.
In order to prevent Shang Song and Ah Lian from knowing about this, they immediately organized people to go to the southern suburbs. (To be continued)
