Visiting the Houses at Night
The bag is bought casually, which is convenient, but the top is not embroidered with patterns, which is too simple and elegant.
"Let's just make do with it first, and I'll buy you a better one when I arrive in Qingzhou."
"No, this is already very good, I like it very much."
Her voice was light and her tone was soft, and it seemed to be a Jiangnan tune in her ears.
Gu Tingshu's mood changed with her, and his eyes were filled with a two-smile smile.
He walked out and closed the room, let her rest inside, leaned on the railing and looked down, and happened to meet Mu Chengze who was inquiring about it.
"Ashu, these bandits are too lawless. They dare to force the girl in the blue sky and white sun."
"These daughters of the families left the city shortly after they left the city. When they passed Xiaoyang Mountain, they were suddenly robbed by a group of bandits who rushed out."
"The couple who sent off for marriage were killed, and the ones we met were still coming back to death."
It is obviously not very far from Kyoto, but because it is not a key road, it neglects management, resulting in no one reporting any bandits here.
This is also his fault. If he not only pays attention to a few important roads, he will not cause trouble to the people here.
He was in a state of silence, so he was about to pull Gu Tingshu to destroy the bandits, but he used some force but failed to pull Gu Tingshu.
"Brother, you are too extreme. Go in and wash your face first."
Gu Tingshu turned sideways and signaled him to go back to the house first.
Although Mu Chengze was anxious, he knew that with his own strength, he could not catch all the bandits in one place, so he just shook his sleeves and entered the room.
Gu Tingshu looked downstairs and followed him in.
"The situation is urgent, why haven't you moved yet? If you don't go, then your daughters will be in trouble."
The secular world attaches great importance to women's reputation. It would be fine if people were saved now. If they could not be saved, they would pass overnight. Even if they were saved, they would not be able to withstand the world's vision.
"The situation is urgent, and the rest of the people have not taken action yet, so why are you anxious?"
"That is the lonely people. How can the lonely not be in a hurry? If those bandits do not eliminate them, how can the lonely have the face to survive in the world?"
After speaking, Gu Tingshu took a deep look and poured a cup of cold tea in his panting.
"Your Highness cares about the people, which is a great blessing for the country. It's just that even the nervousness is so nervous that you must not lose your mind."
"If there are really bandits not far outside the city, why don't the county magistrate report? Why are the business here so prosperous?"
If there were really bandits, they would not have entered the city so easily, and the people here would not dare to cheer and celebrate like this.
After two cups of cold tea, the anger in his heart was suppressed a lot. Mu Chengze held the tea cup in his hand and looked up at him.
"Ashu means that today is directed and acted by all the people?"
"It shouldn't be. If it were the work of various families, he wouldn't have to hold this wedding banquet so grand."
It costs money and effort, so what are the aims of the families?
"If you want to know, then just ask the heads of the families."
Although Mu Chengze was half-believing and half-doubting about this, it was too late at this time and it was indeed not suitable to go into the mountains.
He poured himself a cup of cold tea and took a long breath, as if he had made a decision.
"If this matter is not as Ah Shu said, then tomorrow, Ah Shu will kill all the bandits with me."
Gu Tingshu lifted the cup at him and followed his words.
The two of them took a break and when it was late at night, they took Shen Qiuqiu out.
He was suddenly woken up in his sleep. Chen Qiuqiu was depressed and frightened by Gu Tingshu's movement of jumping off the eaves. He couldn't lift up any strength at all.
She softly pinched Gu Tingshu's clothes, hid in the corner and waited for the guards who were patrolling the night to walk away, then lowered her voice and asked, "Cousin, where are we going?"
Is there anything I can’t do it openly, and I have to be a gentleman at night?
"Go to other families."
Gu Tingshu did not tell her what happened today, so she only knew that something happened to the various families, and she was not sure what it was.
At this time, I heard that I was going to go to various families, and many questions arose in my mind.
But in her current situation, she really couldn't ask questions, so she could only wait until the rest of the family to let him solve his doubts with her.
Gu Tingshu held her waist, took advantage of the force slightly, and then jumped onto a courtyard wall again, and the three of them whispered to the other houses.
At this time, the night was deep, but the lights were still on all the families, and there were many yamen runners guarding outside the families, as if they were afraid that bandits would come to the door suddenly.
Several people avoided the yamen runners and climbed into the wall from the backyard. Before they could stabilize their bodies, they heard footsteps coming.
The few people and cats were behind a piece of green bamboo, and waited for the servant to carry the things by before continuing to move forward.
"The girl was caught by bandits, why did the master look at her but was not worried at all? And asked Captain Liu to look for her tomorrow?"
"You ask so much about what you do. The master has his own reasons for doing this. Just do your own thing."
"The master doesn't know what's wrong. He suddenly became so strange in the past two days. He took out all the things at home to dry."
"That's right, so many things need to be cleaned and dried in a few days, but it really cost a person's life."
Those servants had to say something else, and suddenly a few whips sounded, and the servants made a "Ouch, oh, oh," and didn't dare to say anything else.
After hearing what the servant said, the families were so weird these days that they looked at each other and then walked quickly towards the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, seeing most of the property that had been replaced with silver notes, the heads of the family breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhu walked over, pinched the scarf in her hand, and gently tucked the corners of her eyes.
"Master, are we really going to leave?"
"The foundations of all the families are here. If I have a choice, how could I choose to leave?"
The heads of the family took the hand of Mrs. Zhu and sighed.
"The children have left safely, and only you and me are left. Tomorrow I will have someone send you secretly out of the city, and you will leave first with the silver bill."
"There are still a few boxes of silver left that have not been replaced. I will take it tomorrow. If we can pass Xiaoyang Mountain safely, we don't have to worry about anything."
"Master, you can't..."
"You don't have to say it, that's what you decided."
"It's late at night, and you'll set off tomorrow morning. You can go back to your house to rest first."
The lady wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the heads of the family with their eyes. She wanted to speak but stopped, and in the end she could only leave reluctantly.
"Since I don't want to leave, why do you have to send your family away?"
After listening to a few words outside the window, Mu Chengze jumped into the window and saw that Mrs. Zhu had left.
"You, you, who are you? How dare you break into my family at night?"
"The heads of the families do not need to panic. We have no malice. We are just lucky to have had the banquets and received gifts from the families. So after hearing about the girls' accident, we just wanted to do our best."
"You?" When the heads of the family heard this, they subconsciously looked out the window, but saw that the window was empty and there was no one else there.
Mu Chengze saw the doubt in his eyes and looked at him, but he did not see the two people following him just now.
