Chapter 358: Ambush at Yizhuang
When we separated from Butler Wang, it was already dark.

The lanterns were lit up one after another, and a completely different atmosphere from the daytime suddenly enveloped the entire Bianjing city. The sticky feeling of drunkenness lingered around everyone, and even the words spoken casually seemed like... It has been sweetened with sugar and honey.

Han Shiyan and Gu Shinwei were walking on the bluestone street of Zhuque Avenue. At night, it was crowded with vendors selling various gadgets.

There are the rouge and gouache, the unique head and face jewelry, and various masks and lanterns...

There are also food stalls set up, which are steaming hot.

"The dumplings here are pretty good. Do you want to try them?"

Gu Shiwei looked in the direction of Han Shiyan's finger and saw a small basin on each table of the stall. In the basins were strings of dumplings, white, pink, brown, and green. , the rich color will make people salivate at first sight.

Gu Shinwei looked at it, the look in his eyes softened a bit.

She pulled up a stool and sat down, shouting to the woman selling dumplings, "Madam Hu, please bring me a pot to celebrate the happiness of the whole family."

When the lady named Hu saw the guests, she was so happy that she smiled and said, "It's great! Should it be paired with sweet-scented osmanthus wine? No boiling, no eggs, just a bowl?"

Gu Shiwei nodded somewhat unexpectedly, "Do you still remember me?"

Mrs. Hu smiled and wiped her hands with the apron in front of her, "Remember, how can you not remember? We are all from Yuezhou, so we are closer than ordinary people. In the past, you and your family came to see Tian'er. I still remember it to this day. Here’s the Yuezhou tune that Master Gu sang for everyone!”

As she spoke, she remembered that both of Gu Shiwei's parents had passed away, and her eyes couldn't help but look kind to her.

"Daxia Gu and Mrs. Gu will be relieved to see you so good in the spirit of heaven! My daughter heard that the young lady entered the Imperial City Division, and she seemed to have changed. She was no longer playful. She even said she wanted to learn martial arts in the future. She is also a female official like a young lady!"

"Although I know it's wishful thinking, as a mother-in-law, I am also happy that my child is making progress, isn't it?"

Mrs. Hu was very quick and quickly served a bowl full of meatballs, and placed two bowls of wine in front of Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan.

"This wine is given to us Yuezhou fellows. It doesn't cost anything." Mrs. Hu smiled and showed two pear dimples. She looked at Han Shiyan and said, "Han Yushi is our Yuezhou son-in-law and doesn't cost anything."

Han Shiyan's face suddenly turned red. His son-in-law...

Just for these two words, he immediately paid double the money.

Seeing that Gu Shiwei was about to speak, Madam Hu hurriedly said, "Mrs. Gu, don't refuse. When the Yangtze River turned over, there was a vast ocean everywhere. Our family fled to Bianjing, and thanks to Mr. Gu's help, we settled down. Woolen cloth!"

"It's just two bowls of wine, just think that I am happy for the hero Gu and Mrs. Gu... Finally, the evildoers will be rewarded, and the clouds will clear and the moon will shine."

Gu Shinwei's nose was slightly sour, and he smiled and said to the Madam Hu, "Thank you very much Madam."

Mrs. Hu looked happy and went to entertain others with all her energy.

Gu Shinwei looked at her back, lost in thought. She always felt as if something flashed in front of her, but she didn't catch it.

It's that feeling. It's clearly right in front of you, but you can't see it clearly or understand it.

"Taking care of family matters?"

Gu Shiwei came back to her senses from Han Shiyan's call. She picked up the spoon and took a sip of the wine. The sweet and spicy taste suddenly filled her entire mouth.

"I was still thinking of taking you to eat dumplings at this restaurant, but I didn't expect you to be a regular customer. I used to come here with Wu Jiang and eat this dumpling as a family celebration. Without him, I wouldn't be able to finish the entire bowl."

"Don't be too anxious. We have already found out about King Qi, Yuan Huo, and Tao Ran today. There are still nine days after today."

"The city of Bianjing is so big, I can count the number of suspicious people who can do it, and the truth will soon be revealed."

"You are still injured. Go back and rest early. It won't be too late for us to check tomorrow. After tomorrow morning, I will go to Sangzi Lane to look for you."

Gu Shinwei nodded, "I went to Lao Zuo's place to see Jing Li, and I went back directly after seeing it." The injuries on her body were indeed not healed, and her internal strength was not one-tenth of what it was when she was healthy. Today, she had to take Han Shiyan directly I fell into a peacock's nest, so I really need to go back and rest more.

Han Shiyan looked at Gu Shiwei quietly, her hair swaying in the evening breeze.

She was holding dumplings in her hand, her cheeks were bulging, and her expression looked a little complicated. She didn't know whether she was thinking about the case or missing the days when the family of three were together when she was a child.

"Gu Shiwei, I will be on your side."

Han Shiyan said suddenly.

If the Han family was the mastermind behind this, if that person was his uncle, he would also be on Gu Shiwei's side.

Not only because this side is Gu Shiwei's side, but also because it is the side of justice that he insists on.

The lady in the fourth room and Han Jingyan's mother came from different branches of the same family, and they were as close as direct sisters.

Is Tao Ran's wife, Mrs. Yuan, really the wife of the fourth room, or the eldest room of the Han family, whom she is close to?
Han Shiyan thought about it and secretly clenched his fist with his hand on his knee.

Gu Shiwei took another bite of the dumpling. She stretched out her hand and patted Han Shiyan's shoulder heavily, "Does this need to be said? Haven't we already been sworn brothers in Taoyuan? Are you trying to break your promise?"

Han Shiyan was hit by the "iron hammer" and almost lost one of his hands. The bench under him made a fragile creaking sound. He covered his mouth and coughed several times.

The three sworn brothers in Taoyuan come from ghosts!

Has the plague in Wu Jiang's mind begun to spread everywhere, tampering with Gu Shiwei's memory? When did the three of them in Taoyuan become sworn brothers?

He didn't want to become brothers with Gu Shiwei at all.

Han Shiyan thought, originally he planned to slowly boil the frog in warm water and wait for Gu Shiwei to fall in love with him, but now it seems that it is too late at all. If he delays it any longer, Gu Shiwei is afraid that he will hook up with him and shout Brother, today I will calculate with my fingers that the emperor, the queen, and the earth are both free, so we can become sworn brothers!

He thought about it and looked at Gu Shiwei, but saw that the girl had already asked Mrs. Hu for a bamboo tube and was putting dumplings in it.

She touched in her sleeve pocket, took out a small piece of silver and put it on the table, then stood up.

"The old man was sleeping in bed. I was afraid that I would be late and he would dislike me for disturbing his dreams, so I took the first step..."

Han Shiyan was confused when he saw Gu Shiwei disappear without a trace in front of him, and Wu Jiang's deafening shout came from behind him, "Brother Shi Yan!"

……

Gu Shiwei was galloping all the way and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wu Jiang's voice could no longer be heard.

If you stay with this guy for a long time, you will become deaf.

Thinking about it, she bought another jar of wine on the street, wrapped two packs of meat in the lotus leaves, weighed a few packs of snacks, and then went to the drug store to buy an old ginseng before heading back to the road. Walking to the old man's home.

Yizhuang placed the corpse, which was not very auspicious, at the foot of the mountain not far from the mass grave outside the city.

Gu Shiwei sped all the way out of the city. The mountains and fields at night were extremely quiet, except for the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects.

She had been recovering from injuries here for a long time and was extremely familiar with every plant and tree here. "Old man, I'm here!"

The oil lamps in Yizhuang were on, and the old man lived in the main house. There was Guan Gong on the door, and there was a Bagua mirror hanging on the door frame. He looked very afraid of death.

Gu Shiwei had laughed at him before and was scolded by the old man.

The door was ajar, Gu Shiwei pushed it straight in, and a strong fragrance hit his face!

Gu Shiwei thought to himself that it was not good and immediately held his breath.
