My baby is gone again

Chapter 122 The most high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey
Dusk is approaching.

Yamen servant Qin and Yamen servant Gu were called over by the magistrate.

All the servants in the county government seemed to be off work.

There are only Master Wu and Master Cheng in the hall.

"Qin Fu, Gu Rong."

Lu Xuan stood behind the table with his hands behind his back and called out their names.

"Subordinates are here."

The two talked back like the other yamen servants.

"This officer is currently facing a case. A kind of rouge was found at the scene of the crime. This rouge is sold in all major rouge shops in the city. It is necessary to confirm the source of this rouge through comparison."

Lu Xuan picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to the two of them:

"But the operatives in this county's county government are all men, without a female companion, it is quite inconvenient to go to the rouge shop.

This paper lists several shops selling rouge in the city. You change back to women's clothing and buy the types of rouge written on the paper. "

Qin Fu and Gu Rong looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, Gu Rong took the paper.

"Okay, let's go, before it's completely dark...the rouge shop will be closed when it's late."

Lu Xuan waved his hand:
"By the way, remember to ask the merchant to issue a receipt, and the Yamen will reimburse you when the time comes."

The county magistrate had an order, so Qin Fu and Gu Rong naturally did not dare to disobey.

The two looked at each other, bowed to Lu Xuan, and left the yamen together.

After Qin Fu and Gu Rong left.

Lu Xuan looked at Cheng Lingzhu, smiled and said:

"Get ready to act, master."

"Please rest assured, my lord."

Cheng Lingzhu also smiled and bowed in a dignified way.

………………

Qingxian City.

Qin Fu and Gu Rong walked together.

"This should be the last one."

Qin Fu looked at the shops not far away.

"It's already dark."

Gu Rong looked up at the sky, "It's almost time for the curfew."

"It's okay, it's just the hour of Xu, and the curfew still lasts for a stick of incense."

Qin Fu made some calculations:
"The shops in the south of the city are only closed during the curfew, so we can't delay things, and the yamen servants patrolling the streets are all from the county yamen. They know that we have a task to do, so we just walk back slowly after shopping."

"I'm worried that there will be bad people outside at such a late hour."

Gu Fu said.

"Qingxian City is protected by Qingxian, how can there be so many bad people?"

Qin Fu laughed:

"Furthermore, we are the servants of the county government. If we are really afraid, they should be afraid of us."

A total of six rouge shops were marked on the list, from the closest to the farthest from the county government.

Qin Fu and Gu Rong have already completed the purchase of the first five companies, and they are still short of the last one.

The curfew was approaching, there were not many pedestrians on the street, the sky was gloomy, and the surroundings were pitch black.

Thinking of Gu Rong's words, Qin Fu's heart suddenly beat a little, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace.

At this moment, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of the alley beside him.

The black shadow grabbed Qin Fu's arm and was about to drag her into the alley.

Qin Fu panicked, let out a scream, and then her mouth was covered.

Gu Rong was dumbfounded. When she recovered, Qin Fu had already been dragged into the alley.

She rushed up quickly and pushed the villain away forcefully.

The assailant was guarding the exit of the alley here, and Gu Rong led Qin Fu to run to the other end of the alley.

In that place, there are a few points of light, which are emitted by the lantern.

In other words, there was someone at the other end of the alley.

The black shadow chased after them, and the two ran desperately ahead. The alley was not very long, but it seemed as far away as the end of the world.

Finally, they ran out of the alley, and the black shadow followed.

"Help! Help!"

Qin Fu shouted for help.

"The daring thief actually took advantage of the night to commit crimes, harming a woman from a good family!"

A voice sounded.

It was a young man who spoke out, holding a folding fan in his hand.

He pointed at the folding fan in his hand, and immediately several men in servant clothes rushed up, trying to subdue the man in black.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black turned around and ran. His speed was so fast that no one could catch up with him.

"Okay, come back!"

The young man shouted.

Several servants turned back and surrounded him again.

"Girls, are you all right?"

said the young man.

"Thank you...thank you, my lord."

Gu Rong whispered something.

Someone beside him lit up a lantern, and the two of them saw clearly the appearance of the "savior".

Qin Fu couldn't help being stunned for a moment:
"Bo...Master Bo?"

"Huh? You two actually recognize me?"

Bo Chang shook the fan in his hand.

"Master Bo is a big shot in Qingxian City, so we naturally know each other."

Qin Fu said.

She met Bo Chang at Gu Yang's banquet.

"Where do the two girls live? Why are you still on the street at this late hour? Can I send someone to take you back?"

Under the light, Bo Chang also looked at the two of them.

Of these two women, one is younger and has not yet grown up, while the other has soft brows and eyes, and looks good.

"Back to Master Bo, the two of us are..."

Just as Qin Fu was about to answer, Gu Rong tugged at her sleeve.

They came out to investigate the case, and it is inconvenient to tell outsiders about such things.

Qin Fu thought for a while:
"The two of us are from the county government. We are going to visit the rouge shop after our shift and want to buy a box of rouge."

"Is the county government recruiting women now?"

Bo Chang showed surprise on his face.

"Just doing some paperwork and sorting out files."

Qin Fu explained.

"This Master Wu is really not a mortal."

Bo Chang sighed.

"By the way, you are here to buy rouge. I happen to know the owner of this rouge shop well, so why not go and have a look together."

Bo Chang sent out an invitation.

"This……"

Qin Fu hesitated.

"After all, if you two daughters meet thieves, you may be in danger."

Bo Chang is very considerate:
"Since I met the two girls, it is better for a good person to do it to the end."

"Okay, thank you, Master Bo."

Thinking of what happened just now, Qin Fu couldn't help feeling a little scared.

On the side, Bo Kai, the steward of the Bo family, looked at the obedient Qin Fu and Gu Rong, and shook his head slightly.

He naturally knew what Bo Chang wanted to do.

Today is the seventh day of the lunar new year, and it is also the day when Bo Chang regularly visits brothels every month.

Bo Chang himself didn't expect that he could see thieves trying to do something wrong on the street.

In terms of figure alone, the two women are very good.

For Bo Chang, girls from good families are of course more attractive than girls from brothels.

As the benefactor of the second daughter, she is powerful and powerful, and she is not bad looking...

At this time, with a little trick, it won't take long to take it down.

Thinking that the other party is still from the county government, she can be regarded as a female arrester...

Bo Chang felt hot in his heart.

far away.

"It's done?"

Cheng Lingzhu took off the mask on his head.

"It seems to have achieved initial results."

Lu Xuan looked at Bo Chang and the others.

The "thief" who attacked Qin Fu and Gu Rong was naturally Cheng Lingzhu in disguise.

The planner was Lu Xuan.

From Lu Ping's mouth, Lu Xuan learned that Bo Chang, a playboy, would visit brothels in the south of the city on a few fixed days every month.

The brothel does not open at night, and guests enter before the curfew.

Then the brothel closed the door and refused to entertain guests, and the guests inside would have a good night.

So Lu Xuan sent Qin and Gu to buy rouge at this time.

Consistent with Lu Xuan's calculation, when they arrived at the last rouge shop, Bo Chang just happened to appear in the next block.

So Cheng Lingzhu, who played the villain, created this "encounter".

………………

That night.

Thin House.

"Bo Kai, you go to Leng Yu Pavilion tomorrow and buy a set of hair accessories and pack them in a gift box."

Bo Chang gave orders.

"...Is this for the girl tonight?"

Bo Kai turned his head around and came to his senses.

"good."

Bo Chang nodded.

"Master, Leng Yuge's hair accessories... are they too expensive?"

Bo Kai asked.

In his memory, the last time Bo Chang asked him to go shopping in Lengyu Pavilion was to get a brothel oiran.

"When did the head of the family ever lack money?"

Bo Chang glanced at him, "If I tell you to buy it, then go for it."

"Yes."

Bo Kai immediately shut up.

But Bo Chang wouldn't be angry, he knew that Bo Kai was loyal to him, and he wanted to save money for the Gu family by giving advice at this time.

"Do you know why I want to get that Qin Fu?"

Bo Chang asked.

"Is it because she looks good?"

Bo Kai guessed.

"No."

Bo Chang shook his head, "Among the girls I've pursued, Qin Fu is pretty good-looking, but it's not enough for me to be so interested."

The first time he saw Qin Fu, he had the urge to take this girl as his own.

But after getting acquainted not long ago, Bo Kai had deeper considerations for giving such a precious thing.

"Is it because of her identity?"

Bo Kaisi's female arrest from the county yamen... makes the master feel different? "

"Not at all."

Bo Chang shook his head.

"what is that?"

Bo Kai puzzled.

"Qin Fu manages the document treasury in the county government office, and can see all the case files sealed in the county government office."

Bo Chang narrowed his eyes, "I want to know the truth about my father and my grandfather being assassinated back then."

"Master, this..."

When Bo Kai heard this, he was shocked.

"I wanted to do this a few years ago, but at that time I was still young, even if I wanted to find out about it, I couldn't do anything."

Bo Chang took a deep breath:

"Thinking about it now, it's time."

"Then...why did the master pursue that Qin Fu instead of Gu Rong?"

Bo Kai asked, "Gu Rong is two years younger than Qin Fu, so it seems easier to get her."

Bo Chang shook his head:

"You missed me, that little girl named Gu Rong is much more thoughtful than Qin Fu, she is not easy to fool."

………………

the next day.

When Qin Fu set off from home and was about to go to the county government to check in at Dianmao.

A figure appeared outside the door.

It's Bo's housekeeper, Bo Kai.

"What's the matter with Bo Guan?"

Gu Rong asked.

She lived with Qin Fu, and Gu Yang gave them a lot of money, enough to buy a small courtyard near the county government.

"Miss Qin, do you still remember that the head of my family was in the rouge shop last night, because the hair band on his head was broken, so he asked the girl for a hairpin."

Bo Kai said:

"I was supposed to return it today, but I just thought that the girl's hairpin was used by a man, and it might not be good to return it, so I ordered me to go down to Lengyu Pavilion and buy a set as a gift for the girl."

He held an exquisite wooden box in his hand, which contained a whole set of hair accessories produced by Leng Yuge.

"Of course, the master also asked me to bring a gift for Miss Gu."

Bo Kai took out another wooden box, "Cuiyu Zhuang's bracelet, I wonder if the girl likes it."

"It's just a hairpin, I accept such an expensive gift from your Patriarch...isn't it good?"

Qin Fu said.

"If the girl doesn't accept her, she will be punished next time she goes back."

Bo Kai made a pleading look on purpose, "This is a wish from our Patriarch, please accept it from the two girls."

"okay."

Qin Fu was not hypocritical and accepted the wooden box.

Seeing that Gu Rong didn't want to pick it up, she reached out to pick it up for her and stuffed it into Gu Rong's hand.

Seeing the two of them accepting the gift, Bo Kai showed a smile on his face:
"The two girls are still busy, so I won't disturb you."

After all, he got up and left.

After Bo drove away.

Qin Fu opened the exquisite wooden box, took out the hairpin headdress from it, and put it on her head.

"Does it look good?"

she asked.

"Hmm...it looks good."

Gu Rong nodded, and had to admit that this headgear matched Qin Fu very well.

"If it looks good, then wear it. Let's go, let's go to the county government."

Qin Fu raised her head and raised her chest.

"This... Sister Qin, isn't it very good for us to accept the gift from Patriarch Bo?"

Gu Rong looked at the box in her hand.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Fu asked back.

"We were sent by Mr. Gu. We are currently the county magistrate, and now we have received a gift from Patriarch Bo..."

Gu Rong was a little confused as to which side she should be on.

"My good sister, I'm not as good as you when it comes to brains, but when it comes to understanding men...you're not as good as me."

Qin Fu said to herself:
"Yesterday he invited the two of us to the rouge shop, and I knew he had no good intentions."

Gu Rong was taken aback when she heard the words, and said after a while:

"Then sister Qin, you still promise him..."

"if not?"

Qin Fu spread her hands, "He is our savior, so we can't even give him face?"

"Besides..."

Qin Fu rolled her eyes:

"If I didn't want to have any contact with him, I wouldn't have lent him my hairpin yesterday."

The most high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Bo Chang had thoughts about her last night, but in fact, she was also trying to catch Bo Chang.

"Good sister, think about it."

Qin Fu said earnestly:

"Now Mr. Gu and the county magistrate are fighting against each other, maybe one day there will be conflicts, what should we do when we are caught in the middle?
Neither of these two parties can be offended by you and me. If you don't find someone who can protect us, then you and I will become victims of their struggle. "

Gu Rong was silent.

She had to admit that what Qin Fu said made sense.

"Master Bo appeared at the right time. The two of us were the Gu family's tricks. To sing to someone is not to sing, to whom to dance is not to dance? Now we have made friends with Mr. Bo to save ourselves a way out."

Qin Fu was sober.

"Sister Qin, what if that Bo Chang wants you to do something secretly for him?"

Gu Rong asked.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Fu asked back.

"It's...something that might be unfavorable to Mr. Gu or the county government."

Gu Rong said.

"That depends on what he specifically asked for. If it's too much, of course I won't agree."

Qin Fu said so.
