Chapter 148 Refugee Problem
Liu Yuan came to the gate of the Gu Mansion, but found that the Gu Mansion seemed to be in a hurry.

"What's going on here?"

Entering the Gu residence with a notification, Liu Yuan couldn't help asking the servant in astonishment when he saw the commotion in the Gu family.

Seeing Liu Yuan's clothes and the bronze medal around his waist, the servant at the side quickly responded:

"Oh, my young master is gone, and he hasn't come back yet. We are busy looking for him!"

"Master? Which master?"

There are too many young masters in the Gu family. Gu Chengliang, the head of the family alone, has two sons, not to mention the younger generations of other clan elders. These are all young masters of the Gu family.

Liu Yuan asked in surprise, but the young servant said as a matter of course:

"Who else! Master Ningshun!"

There are many young masters in the Gu family, but now, Gu Chen is the only one who can be called young master by the servants willingly.

There is no one in the Gu family who doesn't like Gu Chen. From the elders to the servants, they all have a good impression of the new young master of the Gu family, so when they know that Gu Chen has disappeared and hasn't come back until now, everyone Everyone panicked.

Not to mention the Gu family, even Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel worried when he knew that Gu Chen was gone, he quickly asked:

"Ning Shun disappeared!? When did he disappear?! Do you know where he went?!"

"Eh... my lord, I don't know what your relationship with the young master is...?"

Seeing Liu Yuan's eagerness, the servant was a little stunned and asked Liu Yuan in a daze.

Liu Yuan said:

"He and I... both came from Dan'an Town, we are best friends!"

"It turned out to be the young master's friend, sorry for your impoliteness." The young man hurriedly saluted, and then said: "The young master didn't see him this morning, he only left a note saying that he was going downstream for inspection.

"But when the young master went out, he didn't bring Miss Liu'er, nor did he bring a guard, so he took a personal guard he found and left, but he hasn't come back until now. It's going to be dark soon, young master..."

It's not that Gu Chen has never gone out in the past, but when he goes out, he will always bring Liu'er and his guards with him, not to mention the others, at least he will bring Liu'er with him.

Even if there are occasional times when I don't take people out, I will come back quickly and never stay outside.

But now that Gu Chen hasn't come back all day, it's no wonder the Gu family is so worried.

"Hey! Don't stop me!!"

Just as Liu Yuan was about to ask again, he saw Gu Chengliang, the head of the Gu family, coming out of the main house, surrounded by a group of people pulling him.

There was a butler from the Gu family on the side and said:

"My lord, my lord! Don't bother Mr. Zhizhou with such a trivial matter!"

"Small matter? Ning Shun is the future of my Gu family! If something happens to him, it will be a loss to my entire Gu family! Don't stop me!!"

Gu Chengliang said anxiously and angrily.

Liu Yuan's eyes widened as he watched from the side.

He knew Gu Chen's identity, the illegitimate child of the Gu family's collateral line, so it stands to reason that if he came to the master's house with this identity, even if he was not rejected by the master's family, he would at least treat him coldly.

But... How do you look at Gu Chengliang's reaction, Gu Chen lost it as if his own son was lost? !

Don't be in such a hurry to lose your son!

"Master, just wait a little longer, we will definitely find Master Ningshun!"

"What are you waiting for! Get out of the way, and stop me from taking care of my family!!"

Gu Chengliang didn't want to wait, so he was determined to find Gu Chengli, the magistrate, to find Gu Chen.

And when the housekeeper was about to be unable to stop Gu Chengliang, Gu Chen walked in with Jie Biao Danxi outside the door.

"Uncle? You are..."

Gu Chen, who returned to Gu's house, looked at the excited Gu Chengliang in surprise.

Gu Chengliang was overjoyed when he saw Gu Chen came back, and then said with a straight face:

"Ning Shun! You still know how to come back!"

"Er... Uncle, calm down."

Seeing Gu Chengliang's angry look, Gu Chen hurried over to apologize.

Seeing that Gu Chen came back, Gu Chengliang was also relieved, he was no longer as anxious as before, only after he calmed down, Gu Chengliang noticed that besides Jie Biao Danxi, there were other people beside Gu Chen.

"... Ziyi?"

Looking away from Gu Chen, Gu Chengliang saw Gu Qianjun beside Gu Chen.

Gu Chen explained:
"Brother Ziyi and I met on the road. He just came back from Dan'an Town, and it happened that I was going home too, so we came back together."

"Well, it's good to come back. I said that there is nothing in Dan'an Town. It's not worth your trip. That guy Jisheng still insists on taking you there. It's good to come back now, just help Ningshun take care of the water. Let's do business."

Gu Chengliang nodded to Gu Qianjun.

Gu Qianjun, who just came back, has not recovered from Gu Chengliang's performance just now. Hearing what the head of the family said, he quickly returned the courtesy:
"Yes, Ziyi takes orders."

When Gu Chen came back, the Gu family, who had been busy just now, instantly regained their composure, which made Liu Yuan, who was watching from the side, amazed.

After Gu Chen's work was done, Liu Yuan walked up to greet Gu Chen and said:
"Ning Shun, it seems that you are doing well in the Gu family?"

"Brother Liu?"

Seeing Liu Yuan, Gu Chen showed appropriate surprise, he hurried forward to meet Liu Yuan, and said to Liu Yuan:
"When did Brother Liu come? Why didn't you notify me in advance? I just came back, and I haven't prepared anything yet..."

"What are you and my brother doing with such a birthright? Just drink some water as a treat."

"How can that work? Liuer! Liuer!!"

"Oh, master!"

Liu'er, who also came out of Gu Chen's room, hurried to Gu Chen's side when he heard Gu Chen's shout.

Gu Chen told him:
"Go and heat up a pot of tea, and then find someone to bring the charcoal fire into the house. Brother Liu and Brother Ziyi and I will have a good chat about the old days."

"Yes."

Liu Er took the order to leave, Liu Yuan watched from the side, jokingly said:

"Okay, Ning Shun, you are becoming more and more like a young master."

"Brother Liu, don't laugh at me. I can't help it. In the big family, if you don't do this, you will be an outlier."

Gu Chen said helplessly, while taking Liu Yuan and Gu Qianjun back to his room.

After entering the room and taking their seats, Liu Yuan curiously asked Gu Qianjun:

"Why is Manager Gu back? Are you busy with things in Dan'an Town?"

Gu Qianjun, who met Gu Chen on the road, shook his head when he heard this and said:

"Not yet, but there is nothing worth mentioning in the town. The Gu family has the help of the Li family there, so they have gained a firm foothold. I don't think I have anything to do, so I came here."

"Well, it's true. Although Dan'an Town is very large, with the size of a city, there are actually no industries worth looking at. Now that several major families have disappeared, it is indeed not suitable for the children of everyone like Gu Guanshi to stay. down."

Liu Yuan and Gu Qianjun talked with each other.

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't interrupt while listening.

Dan'an Town...Now in the memory of Liu Yuan and others, Dan'an City has long since ceased to exist, and only Dan'an Town is left.

There is no one who is absolutely wrong about such a weird thing, as if Dan'an City has been a small town that is not worth talking about since ancient times.

But only Gu Chen and the people he summoned remember that Dan'an Town was not a town, it was a city.

But it has disappeared now, at least half of its existence has disappeared under the influence of the 'disaster' wandering in the forest.

This kind of disappearance did not disappear all at once, but gradually disappeared. At first, it was the periphery of Dan'an City, and then gradually approached the city.

It is not the houses that disappear, but the people who live in them.

Houses turned into ruins, people disappeared, Dan'an City was no longer a city, it could only be regarded as a town.

A seemingly prosperous town.

The disaster in the forest is spreading towards the city, but I don't know how long Dan'an City, which is now a town, can last.

Thinking of these, Gu Chen thought of the 'disaster' that should still be in Ningzhou City now.

Although Gu Chen has not seen the existence of black air in Ningzhou City yet, he can be sure that there is definitely a 'disaster' in Ningzhou City, but it has not been released yet, and he just doesn't know where it is.

"Speaking of which, brother Liu, what do you want to see me today?"

Gu Chen, who was thinking about things in his heart, did not delay the chat with Liu Yuan and the others on the surface. Seeing that the topic of the two had come to an end, he interrupted with a smile to ask.

Liu Yuan remembered the purpose of his visit to Gu Chen today, he couldn't help sighing, and said to Gu Chen:

"That's it, Ning Shun, I saw a group of refugees sitting outside the magistrate's yamen, I heard you prepared a place for them to rest?"

"It's true, and it was I who asked them to go to the magistrate, what's the matter?"

"They are sitting outside the magistrate's yamen now. They can't get in, and they won't come back. It's not easy for me, an outsider, to ask them what they think. I also thought that I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here to ask."

Liu Yuan explained.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, and he asked:

"Master Zhifu just throw them outside like this?"

Liu Yuan sighed and said:
"Yeah, I asked the police, and they said it was a rule. Alas, I have never seen such an inhumane rule."

Liu Yuan was filled with righteous indignation while speaking, and Gu Qianjun who just came back could not help saying:
"Don't be angry with Catcher Liu. This is indeed a rule, and this rule is not aimed at anyone. The magistrate and the magistrate have a lot of things to do every day. If everyone doesn't follow the rules and come to the door directly, the two adults I'm afraid I don't have time for other things."

"Having said that, you can't just watch them sitting outside and soaking in the rain! They are a group of poor people, and they are the people of my Daqi, so why treat them like this."

Liu Yuan has a different opinion.

He didn't say that the rules shouldn't exist, but it's still the same sentence, rules are rules, people are people, and there is no sympathy.

After listening to Liu Yuan's narration, Gu Chen pondered a little and said:

"Let's not talk about that. Let these refugees stay outside in the rain. After a long time, they will definitely catch the cold. I just have some time. Brother Liu will take me to see if I can let them come back first."

"Then I'll leave it to Ning Shun. From what I can see, these refugees are probably the only ones who can persuade you, Ning Shun."

Compared with other people, in the hearts of these refugees, Gu Chen, who prepared food and rest places for them, was obviously closer. If Gu Chen tried to persuade them, these people might listen.
