Invincible son

Chapter 548 547 [Plain Town]

"Can you say that again?"

Gu Fan's tone at this moment was extremely stern.

The guard said a little excitedly: "Fourth young master, this matter is absolutely true! Our defense system in that house has always only reported to you, young master, and will not inform the protected person. This is to prevent people in the mansion from I find it weird because the secret sentries are hidden everywhere in the mansion. The girl's personal servant girl is named Yun'er. She found me in private and said that the girl wants to know the location of our secret sentries so that the maids in the mansion will not be frightened. The subordinates know very well that the fourth young master I value the girl, so I agreed to her."

Gu Fan looked at him coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "And as a reward, Yun'er gave you 800 taels of silver?"

The guard nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Fan resisted the urge to slap him, and said coldly: "If Nanqin really asked Yun'er to find you, why did she give you so much money?"

The guard was at a loss for words for a moment, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Say!"

"It was Yun'er who took the initiative to mention my family's situation, and then was willing to spend a sum of money to buy the news, and asked his subordinates not to tell others, for a while...for a while..."

"Nonsense! Full of loopholes! You clearly knew that there was a problem, but you leaked the news because of 800 taels of silver!"

The guard's eyes were red, and he said with a miserable smile: "Fourth young master, I just want to leave a sum of money for my family. After I die, they can live on this money. The money was deposited into the Taiping Bank by my subordinates. The bills are in the hands of the mother-in-law, and I dare not spend a single penny.”

Gu Fan clenched his fists, his tiger eyes spit fire.

Pei Yue sighed softly, got up and walked over and asked: "That is to say, you have never contacted those thieves from the beginning to the end, and you don't know the whereabouts of Miss Nanqin?"

The guard shook his head violently and said, "This subordinate doesn't know."

Pei Yue asked again: "Are you a soldier under Brother Li Jin?"

The guard replied: "Yes, at that time Brother Li was the commander of the right army of Yanshan Guard, and his subordinate was originally a sentry officer of the right army."

Pei Yue looked complicated, and said slowly: "What's your name?"

The guard looked bewildered, since the Marquis of Zhongshan went to Taishitai Pavilion to check him, how could he not know his name?But he didn't dare to hesitate in front of Pei Yue, and quickly replied: "The name of my subordinate is Cheng Guangtai."

Pei Yue was noncommittal, turned to look at Gu Fan and asked, "Should I kill him now?"

Gu Fan's complexion fluctuated, obviously a battle between heaven and man was in his heart.

Pei Yue continued: "Otherwise, let's lock him up first, and after we find Miss Nanqin and the maid Yun'er, ask whether it's true or not. If everything goes well and what he said is true, then he will be spared." For his capital crime, we only need to drive him out, what do you think?"

Gu Fan said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Hearing this, Cheng Guangtai kowtowed to the two of them regardless of his injuries.

After the other guards took this person away, Gu Fan looked at Pei Yue and said, "I thought you would rise up in the army, and you must hate this kind of traitor the most. I didn't expect you to be softer than me."

Pei Yue sighed lightly: "This person suffered from injuries in the army. He didn't live long, and he was beaten by you again. Whether he will be able to see the sun tomorrow morning is still unknown."

Perhaps this topic was a bit heavy, and the two did not continue their chat.

Not long after, Qi Min and Wang Yong returned to the Hou Mansion, both with heavy and slightly excited expressions on their faces.

"Master, Master Gu, we have found some news!" Qi Min spoke first, with a very hasty tone.

Gu Fan stood up immediately, Pei Yue nodded and said, "Say it quickly."

Qi Min hurriedly said: "Several guys in the firm left the city to go to the mine early this morning. They rushed to the earliest moment when the city gate opened, and happened to see thirty or forty fierce knights guarding a carriage and leaving the capital."

Pei Yue and Gu Fan looked at each other, feeling bad at the same time.

Qi Min noticed that the expressions of the two were very serious, so he didn't dare to show off any more, and said quickly: "According to the memories of those guys, that group of people left the city from the east gate, right in front of them. At that time, the guards simply asked After a few words, I didn't look at the situation in the carriage. After leaving the city, the other party went to the official road in the east."

Pei Yue frowned and said, "East?"

Wang Yong added: "There is a guy from Qinzhou. He heard the voices of a few of them. The other party seems to have the accent of the prefectures and counties along the coast of Qinzhou."

Gu Fan asked anxiously: "Can you be more specific?"

Wang Yong said apologetically, "Master Gu, although that guy's ancestral home is Moyang Mansion, Qinzhou, he has been living in the capital, and he has only been to Qinzhou a few times to worship his ancestors, so he is not particularly sure."

Gu Fan couldn't help scolding a thief, and then said to Pei Yue: "Brother Yue, you have a good relationship with Mr. Shen, can you ask him to use the token of Taige to let me take people out of the city overnight?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to go to Mr. Shen, the problem is where do we go? There are countless branches of the official road in the east, you can go north or south, and you can go all the way east until you see the raging sea. How can you determine the direction of the other party? ?”

Gu Fan said: "Then what should we do now?"

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"The other party kidnapped Miss Nanqin because they wanted to invite her back as a confession. I guess news will come out in a short time. The other party has worked so hard, so there must be some conspiracy. If that's the case, they will definitely contact you. "

Gu Fan only felt that his emotions were getting more and more irritable, but he also knew that what Pei Yue said was the right way.If those people really took Nanqin and left the capital, then they would be like a headless chicken. Not only would they not be able to save Nanqin, but they might miss the key news.

So he can only wait.

Gu Zhen had already rushed back to Guangping Marquis Mansion in the evening, she had to appease her mother, Mrs. Zhao.

Pei Yue persuaded him for a while, but Gu Fan still refused to go to the guest room prepared for him to rest, and kept sitting in this room with red eyes.Pei Yue had no choice but to put down the quilt Lin Shuyue had prepared temporarily and sit here with him.

This night, the entire Zhongshan Hou Mansion was restless.

After dawn, the second housekeeper, Wang Mo, suddenly came to Pei Yue in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, this is what the front yard servants found outside the corner gate just now." Wang Mo said nervously.

Before Pei Yue could speak, Gu Fan, who had been squinting for half an hour, rushed over and snatched the letter, only to see four big characters on the envelope: Gu Fan Dear Parents.

He tore open the seal and took out a piece of ordinary paper. After looking at it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Pingyuan Town!"

Pei Yue took the letter paper and saw a simple sentence written on it: Master Gu, please bring 22 taels of bank notes from Taiping Bank to the mass grave thirty miles east of Pingyuan Town at noon on February 10nd. Pick up Miss Nanqin.If we find that there are more than five people traveling with us, we will kill Miss Nanqin immediately.
