The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 993
Gu Chengyu carefully observed the leader's reaction, maybe he felt that they were not threatening. When this person looked at them, his expression was guarded at first, and then became natural.

When he saw the man and the old man, he had a serious look on his face.

Gu Chengyu saw that these four people gathered together intentionally, and then sat at the table closest to them.

He glanced back at the man and found that he was obviously not interested in these four people.After the initial precautions, there is no more control.

His heart sank, it seemed that the other party really came for him in all likelihood.

The four of them sat down, and Gu Chengyu glanced at each other a few times, focusing on their sitting postures.

These people were sitting upright, their backs straight, their muscles tensed, and they didn't talk after they sat down.

"Come on! Guest officer, the sauced rabbit meat, braised trotter and other dishes you want will have to wait for a while, so you can use them first."

With a raised voice, Xiaoer brought the food to Gu Chengyu and his table.

Ming Yan first took out a cloth bag from his bosom, spread it out and pulled out a silver needle, and the eyes of the people at the two tables around him gathered in an instant.

Gu Chengyu thinks that it is better to be careful when going out.It's normal to test the poison with the silver needle, and he doesn't believe that the people at the two tables don't test the poison.

The four people looked at each other first, with a little vigilance in their eyes.

The leader stared at Gu Chengyu and the others closely, and sized them up again.The demeanor of this whole body should be that of everyone's son, but he just doesn't know what to do when he goes out.

And such a young man with delicate skin and tender flesh should have a carriage when he goes out. After all, the scorching sun made rough guys like them panic.

But the three masters and servants only rode three horses, and even their luggage was very simple.Each person has a bag, and it can be seen that there is nothing in the bag, only about two changes of clothes.

How could it be so easy if it's really everyone's son traveling?
The leader felt that it was unwise for him to be overwhelmed by the other party's appearance at first, and then not pay attention to the other party. The three masters and servants in front of him are definitely not as simple as the children of aristocratic families.

Thinking of the task assigned by his master, he withdrew his gaze, and it was better not to cause trouble.

No matter who the opponent is, as long as there is no threat to them, there is no need to provoke them.

The atmosphere in the teahouse immediately became much more relaxed, and the four of them also began to talk.

Gu Chengyu carefully discerned that these people still had some accents in their official language, which was actually somewhat similar to that of his hometown, Jingyuan Mansion, with only a few differences.

Could it be that these four people came from Jingyuan Mansion?He listened to a few people talking for a while, and they were all about cloth, so they should be cloth merchants.

It's just that these four people came here on horseback for some reason. Could it be that those goods have already been sold?Then there must be a carriage for transporting goods, right?
Just as Gu Chengyu was meditating, the man on the other table knocked hard on the tabletop.

Xiao Er hurried forward, "Guest officer! But what are your orders?"

The man took out a two-liang silver coin from his pocket, pointed to a plate of sauced rabbit meat on the table, and then slapped the silver coin on the table.

Xiao Er saw that the other party was about to pay the bill, and saw the other party pointing to the sauced rabbit meat, so he asked tentatively: "Guest officer, do you want to pack more rabbit meat?"

The man nodded and didn't look at Xiao Er again.

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, he had to count the packing!The two hadn't spoken to each other since they entered the teahouse, which really embarrassed him.

It's impossible for both of them to be dumb, right?How coincidental is that?

"Then the rest of the money was packed for you?" He asked again boldly.

"En!" The man uttered a simple syllable from his nasal cavity, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time complained in his heart.This is obviously not dumb, so why doesn't he speak?
Gu Chengyu frowned, the two seemed to be used to being silent.The response just now made Gu Chengyu feel an indescribably weird feeling.

These two people were still hostile to them just now, as if they wanted to do something.But now he actually wants to check out and leave. Could it be that he is planning to give up?

Still feel that there are too many people in the teahouse, it is inconvenient to do it, and plan to intercept it on the road?These are all very possible.

Before, he had vaguely guessed whether the other party was a robber, and he wanted to vote for him because of his extraordinary clothes.

But now it is still denied by him, and it is two taels of silver for a random move, which should not be short of money.And that treasured knife, it's not cheap.

Besides, the shopkeeper of this teahouse must be making a lot of money every day, why didn't they take action against the shopkeeper?Could it be that they are still friends?
Countless guesses arose in Gu Chengyu's mind in an instant, and as a result, the two people left the teahouse without looking back, got on their horses, and ran towards the south.

It has to be said that after they left, the atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly relaxed.

Gu Chengyu could feel that the four of them were a little more relaxed than before, and even their sitting postures were a little more relaxed.

But this slack made Gu Chengyu see some clues. He found that the four people were wearing official boots.

Unlike the previous dynasty, the Dayan Dynasty had strict control over the service of the common people.No matter what your status is, you can wear boots, but these boots will inevitably be divided into different classes, otherwise there will be no difference in status.

The boots of the common people are straight seamed, and the front and back are sewn from two pieces of cloth, which does not look so beautiful.

The official boots are six-slit boots, the workmanship is very exquisite, and there is a big difference between the two in terms of material.

And although the boots of these four people are not the "powder-soled soap boots" that officials usually wear, they are very similar in style.Gu Chengyu's eyes flickered slightly, are these people from the government?
Otherwise, he wouldn't wear six-seamed boots. After all, if someone reported him, he would be punished with dozens of slaps, or his home would be ransacked and exiled.

This official road is the only way to Jiangnan, but after the imperial court sent him to Jiangnan, it should be impossible to send another person.

Before he set off, the emperor originally said that Lu Chen would go with him.After all, it was Lu Chen who collaborated with him on the pattern of the hidden treasure in the Hejian Mansion last time.

But Gu Chengyu resolutely refused, and Lu Chen must have recalled what happened last time.Calling him again this time, the other party's defenses are even deeper, and they have to hold back.

Now is an extraordinary period, and Lu Chen will definitely let Gu Chengyu be tied up.

Besides, if Gu Chengyu handles this matter properly, the credit will basically be his.If one more Lu Chen is added, wouldn't it be necessary to share the credit?
So bringing Lu Chen, there are only disadvantages but no advantages.The emperor gave Gu Chengyu two more candidates, but Gu Chengyu had no choice but to let go.

The large-scale collapse of Changtianfu must have something to do with the quality of the dam.If another official from an unknown faction is stuffed in, it will be difficult to get things done.

In the end, the emperor agreed after knowing that he had two followers with strong martial arts skills.
