"Master Gu, where have you been? Why are you back now?"
As soon as Gu Yanting walked in from the gate, Xu Yingqing eagerly greeted him, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
It was almost dark, and the servants lit lanterns and hung them up. Gu Yanting was tall and strong, blocking most of the light. Xu Yingqing was trapped in the darkness, his expression was not clear, and he could not tell good from bad.
Gu Yanting said: "I had nothing to do in the afternoon and walked around the city. I heard that an unsolved case recently occurred in the city. What did Mr. Xu find out?"
"This matter is complicated to say. I will take you to have dinner first, and we will explain it in detail on the way."
Xu Yingqing strode out as he spoke. Gu Yanting followed him and said, "I came to Muzhou this time for important matters. There is no need to be extravagant and wasteful. Just keep everything simple."
"It's not extravagant, it's just a change of place. I want you to see the scenery of Muzhou," Xu Yingqing said, looking back at Gu Yanting with a sincere look on his face, "It's not good to be a low-ranking official at noon. Please don't blame me, Sir." Be surprised."
He said this as if he had specially prepared this dinner to apologize to Gu Yanting.
Gu Yanting raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Maybe it was too crowded in the carriage before. Xu Yingqing prepared a horse for himself this time. It was already dark and there was no one on the road. Xu Yingqing quickly brought Gu Yanting to the lake.
There is a moon tonight. Under the cold moonlight, the entire lake is as beautiful as amber. The mountains in the distance are only heavy black shadows, like a veiled landscape painting. It is very artistic. If an ordinary person comes here, he will want to recite poetry. For the first time, Gu Yanting just glanced casually and then set his sights on the painting boat by the lake.
The boat has two floors, with lanterns hung up and down. The lights are bright, and there is a pleasant fragrance in the air when the night wind blows.
Xu Yingqing dismounted first, stood on the springboard and said to Gu Yanting: "Please, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yanting did not hesitate and walked onto the boat. The cabin was already filled with a table full of sumptuous meals. The food was still hot. The time was perfect. Someone should have grasped their whereabouts and passed them by in time.
Xu Yingqing is really good at pretending to be confused while still knowing.
Gu Yanting sat down directly, returned to the original topic and asked, "Can Mr. Xu talk about the unsolved case now?"
Xu Yingqing didn't want to talk about this, but Gu Yanting asked him so seriously. He couldn't change the subject. He could only show a distressed expression and said: "This case is a bit outrageous. I have sent many people to search. But I don¡¯t have a clue.¡±
Gu Yanting did not believe that Xu Yingqing had investigated the matter seriously and asked, "Master Xu, you can tell me what happened in detail. Maybe I can help Master Xu solve the case."
Gu Yanting's eyes were full of interest, as if this unsolved case was not too difficult for him.
Xu Yingqing was originally very sure that no one would be able to pry into the secret behind it, but when she saw Gu Yanting's reaction, her heart trembled unconsciously.
¡°This man has made bizarre military exploits in the past, defeating many with less, and he seems to look very similar to an old friend of Sassu. Is there something different about him that is different from ordinary people?
This guess made Xu Yingqing afraid to be careless. He thought about it and said: "This case happened five days ago. On that day, the official was handling government affairs in the government office. In the afternoon, someone came to report to the official, saying that a body was found in a mass grave. The unknown mummy, because the appearance of the corpse was so horrific, someone came to report the case. The official immediately led people to the mass grave, but the so-called mummy was not found, and even several people who were traveling with the reporter disappeared."
"The person who reported the case categorically said that he really saw the mummy. The subordinate did not dare to be careless, so he asked people to continue searching the mass graves and brought the person who reported the case back to the government office. But strangely, the person who reported the case disappeared mysteriously that night. Yes, my servants have sent people to search, but no results have been found so far."
Speaking of this, Xu Yingqing sighed and said with guilt: "As a parent official, Xu watched the people being disturbed by the unsolved case, and they were in fear day and night. I really did not deserve the trust of the court."
Gu Yanting looked at Xu Yingqing coldly and asked: "After the incident, why didn't Mr. Xu block the news?"
¡°Don¡¯t say it¡¯s an unsolved case, even if it¡¯s an ordinary murder, the news should be blocked as soon as possible to avoid causing panic.
Xu Yingqing did not defend herself this time, and said apologetically: "The official neglected his duty. When the truth of the case comes out, the official will write to the court and request punishment."
This is not something that can be fooled by a mere dereliction of duty.
Gu Yanting still wanted to speak, but the light flute sounded, and the serious atmosphere was dispersed. Xu Yingqing smiled and said: "This is also the characteristic of our Muzhou. Mr. Gu lives too tightly. Let's relax tonight." For a moment, I will hand over the transfer power to your Excellency as soon as I get off the job tomorrow morning.Feeling guilty, he did not let go of Sasu, and said coldly: "I don't like anyone touching me."
After saying that, Gu Yanting looked at Sasu again and asked suspiciously: "You don't feel any pain?"
¡°Many men couldn¡¯t stand shouting when their hand bones were broken, but Sasu didn¡¯t react at all, as if it wasn¡¯t her hand at all, and as if she didn¡¯t feel any pain at all.
Sasu couldn't make a painful expression, and Song Qiuse helped to cover it up: "It hurts, of course, but it has been reduced to this point. What does this little pain mean? If it makes you more and more unhappy, I will Aren¡¯t people going to die here tonight?¡±
Xu Yingqing's eyelids jumped at the sight, and she couldn't help but break Gu Yanting's hand and said, "Mr. Gu, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me. Bullying a weak woman is nothing!"
Gu Yanting let go of Sasu and said, "I have no dissatisfaction with Master Xu. It was just an instinctive reaction of the body."
Xu Yingqing was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but say: "Master Gu, please don't use such words to fend me off. When Song Wan drugged you in Lizhou, did you also break her hand bones like this?"
Of course not.
That was the person he had longed for for many years. From the moment he saw her, he just wanted to make her cry. He drank the wine voluntarily, but the effect of the medicine had already fermented countless times in his dreams. of.
He wanted to make her cry, but he never wanted to hurt her.
And he will never let go of other people who hurt her.
Gu Yanting raised his eyes, looked at Xu Yingqing with a cold expression, and asked silently: Who do you think can be compared with her?
Gu Yanting's eyes were a little scary. Xu Yingqing's heart trembled. She regretted her impulsiveness and softened her tone and said, "My lord, this is not what I mean. I just feel that these two girls are quite pitiful. My lord is honest with them." A little too rough."
Gu Yanting retorted unceremoniously: "If there weren't people who enjoy beauty like Mr. Xu, they wouldn't be in this situation, right?"
Xu Yingqing choked and was speechless for a moment.
Sasu sat down next to Gu Yanting. He didn't care about his injured hand. He just looked at Gu Yanting and asked, "Master Gu seems to like the woman named Song Wan very much. Is she beautiful?"
Sasu¡¯s tone is full of curiosity, and he has the arrogance of someone who has always been in a high position, which is not what Song Qiuse plays.
Gu Yanting stared at her face for a long time and said, "Of course, compared with her, you are far behind."
Gu Yanting was not deliberately irritating Sasu, he was just expressing his truest thoughts.
In his opinion, no one in the world can compare to Song Wan.
Sasu looked at this face that had only appeared in dreams, and felt dazed for a moment, as if he had gone back to that day many years ago, when that person had said in such a firm and decisive tone that she was not as good as the one in his heart. people.
She thought that after so many years, she would be able to deal with it calmly, but it wasn't until she saw this face again that she realized that those things and that person had always been in her heart, causing her pain and sadness, and making her live forever. In the midst of a curse.
With her mind ups and downs, Sasu smiled more and more charmingly. She put her hands on Gu Yanting's shoulders again, deliberately leaned closer to reveal her body curves, and said with a clear breath: "There are many kinds of beauty in women, and you still have them all." If you haven¡¯t tasted me, how do you know I¡¯m not as good as her?¡±
The charm has been engraved into her bones, and every move she makes is full of temptation, which can easily make people's blood boil.
Gu Yanting also felt a little warm in his body. He didn't know whether it was something weird about the things in the room or the fragrance on Sasu's body. However, he was still very conscious. Facing this face, he showed no emotion at all, only coldness. Ruthless warning: "Come any closer and I will kill you!"
"Yeah?"
Sasu did not believe in evil, and moved closer, wanting to kiss Gu Yanting's lips. Gu Yanting's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he took out the dagger hidden in his boots and slid it across Sasu's neck as fast as lightning.
He had taught Song Wan this move and watched Song Wan practice it many times. He never missed it when he used it, and he always killed him with one blow.
But this time, Sassou did not fall.
There was only a slender cut on her fair neck, and milky white mucus flowed out of the wound. Soon, the wound healed.
Sassu touched the mucus on his neck, put it to his lips, licked it, and then said: "You don't seem to be able to kill me." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
