Chapter 25
It is less than a hundred miles to the suburbs of Beijing.

A strong wind blew up at night, the weeds on the side of the road danced back and forth, and there were faint thunderclaps. Gu Heng and others settled down in a small inn.

Li Wei walked to the store and asked for two rooms.

They ordered some more food, and a few people sat around the table, Mrs. Chen remained silent, which was extremely rare, Xiaodouzi was still like a stuffed gourd, eating like a kitten.

On the contrary, Li Wei and Gu Heng kept talking.

"Miss Ah Heng, what are your plans for the capital?"

Gu Heng picked up a chopstick of mutton. Most of the mutton in the capital comes from the northwest. It tastes delicious without any smell, but it is very delicious, but it lacks cumin and some flavor.

Gu Heng swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Naturally find a place to live."

Li Wei continued to ask: "Aren't you looking for someone, I can help you find someone."

Gu Heng hurriedly said: "Don't bother Brother Li, we can find brother by ourselves."

Li Wei was not angry at all, he took a sip of wine, looked at Xiaodouzi who was eating with his head down, and heard Gu Heng say, "Where is Xiaodouzi, what should Xiaodouzi do?"

Xiaodouzi looked up at Gu Heng.

"Sister Ah Heng, can't you accompany me to find Daddy?"

Gu Heng clenched his fist tightly and couldn't say a word.

Li Wei said with a smile: "If you go to see your father, I'm afraid your life will be lost?"

Xiaodouzi stubbornly shook his head.

"No, my father won't kill me."

Li Wei heard Xiaodouzi say such words, not only did not look at Xiaodouzi, but looked at Gu Heng with a complaining look.

He seemed to be saying, it's all your fault.

Gu Heng put down his chopsticks and said to Xiaodouzi: "Even if your father doesn't have the heart to kill you, the people around your father will also want to kill you. In order to avenge your mother, you must be obedient."

Xiaodouzi looked at Gu Heng blankly.

"Then sister Aheng, who do I want to listen to?"

Hearing this sentence, Gu Heng's heart suddenly felt distressed.

It was rare for Xiaodouzi not to cry. He lowered his head and his voice was hoarse.

"I know, it's all because of me, Sister Ah Heng and Aunt Aheng have encountered so many terrible things along the way. I can't burden you any longer."

After saying this, Xiaodouzi raised his head.

Li Wei stretched out his hand and touched Xiaodouzi's head.

"Kids, don't say these bitter and hateful words."

Li Wei said it firmly, but Gu Heng felt very uncomfortable in his heart...
Xiaodouzi smiled at Li Wei.When Chen saw Gu Heng who was in a daze, she said viciously: "You know we can't cause trouble for your brother and sister?"

Gu Heng hurriedly tugged on Chen Shi's arm, and Chen Shi just kept silent.

But in the end, a gleam of light flashed in Li Wei's eyes.

After the four of them had dinner, they went straight back to their rooms to rest.

At night, Gu Heng couldn't sleep, and Mrs. Chen kicked Gu Heng hard.

"Be honest with me, if you do something stupid again, you damn girl, I really don't want you."

Gu Heng felt a little helpless.

"Mother, I just think there's something wrong with Li Wei. In front of him in the future, don't talk about our family affairs."

Chen Shi was a little impatient when he heard this.

"You don't need to talk about this matter. I have eyes. Li Wei is appointed as the nemesis of Duke Fu. How can ordinary people like us encounter such a thing?"

Gu Heng sighed secretly, she thought that they would not be poor people in the future, but Gu Rong would be a queen in the future.

Then the Chen family is the emperor's mother-in-law, and she is the emperor's sister-in-law.

"Mother, when we arrive in the capital, who are we going to go to?"

Chen coughed twice, and she whispered in Gu Heng's ear: "Let's go to the Imperial College to find your brother first, let's discuss your sister's matter first, I am mainly afraid that if we go to your sister suddenly, it will cause trouble for your sister." Come trouble."

Gu Heng nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to my mother."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately said with satisfaction: "That's right, don't be a bodhisattva all day long, we have to close the door and live our own lives."

Early the next morning, they got up and got into the carriage to drive on their way.

As he got closer and closer to the destination, Gu Heng was actually a little nervous. Seeing Gu Heng like this, Li Wei immediately smiled and said, "Miss Ah Heng, don't worry, when we arrive at the capital, the Fuguo Duke's people don't dare to do anything blatantly. "

Gu Heng was noncommittal, she looked at the indifferent Li Wei and said, "What are you going to do?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Of course I took the testimony to sue Duke Fu."

"Are you going by yourself?"

Li Wei shook his head.

"Of course not. In my court, only the sufferer can sue the government. Xiaodouzi and I are neither related nor related, so naturally we cannot replace him. But don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Gu Heng took a deep breath, she looked at the silent little Douzi, after all, she didn't have the courage to talk to this child.

"When I get to the capital, I will give you my testimony, and then..."

Li Wei knew that Gu Heng was thin-skinned, so he said, "At that time, let's make a difference, and we won't see each other again in the future."

Gu Heng said, "I hope."

Li Wei looked surprised.

In the evening of this day, they arrived at the capital.

When Gu Heng got off the carriage, he saw the city walls stretching for hundreds of miles, the majestic city gates, and even faintly saw the pavilions and pavilions in the city.

Countless traffickers and pawns gathered outside the city gate, and it was very lively.

Can't help but feel emotional, the capital is really charming.

Li Wei got off the carriage, patted Gu Heng who was already stunned, and said with a smile, "Can you tell me where the things are?"

Gu Heng looked at Xiaodouzi, and she said, "Susu from Xingrong Chamber of Commerce, I sent her a recipe."

Li Wei laughed when he heard this.

"Why didn't I think of it? I thought you gave it to Shang Zirui, but I didn't expect to feint it. If you were a man, I would definitely, but it's a pity..."

Gu Heng didn't want to say anything more to Li Weiduo, so she took out the jade pendant Liang Lansheng gave her from her bosom.

She looked at Xiaodouzi and stuffed the jade pendant into his hand.

Gu Heng never noticed the look in Li Wei's eyes at this moment.

"Little Douzi, take this jade pendant, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can take it and sell it so that you can live on."

Xiaodouzi took the jade pendant, and he looked at Gu Heng.

He said very seriously: "Sister Ah Heng, I will remember every word you said to me before."

Li Wei suddenly asked: "Where did Miss Ah Heng get her jade pendant?"

Gu Heng whispered: "It was a gift from a friend."

Li Wei's expression was complicated, after all, he didn't say anything, but left with the reluctant little Douzi.

Chen shi heaved a sigh.

"This child is really suffering. Forget it, let's go to the city quickly."

Gu Heng followed the Chen family into the bustling city gate.

It was just getting dark at this moment, and countless lights were lit at the gates of the outer city of the capital. Lanterns of various shapes illuminated the entire street brightly.

The prosperity of the capital is very different from the prosperity of Nanjing Qinhuai.
