Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 338

In this way, those who gloated and laughed in their hearts, no one dared to talk about it.

Over at Gu's mansion, Jiang Yi delivered the letter to the second master. Gu Yuan looked at the letter addressed to him above, and then at the unsealed letter below. He curled his lips in a smile. .

The little girl will calculate when the time comes, how could he take advantage of her and peek at her letter?

Is this because he knows that there is no seal, he can't read it, so he came in the opposite direction?

"Send the letter to the border." Gu Yuan threw the letter back in front of Jiang Yi, "How is the investigation by the people in Jiangnan?"

"The people involved in the household department's embezzlement of money for repairing the embankment are pressing to Jinling, and they will be able to arrive in Jinling in three or two days." Jiang Yi's expression became serious when he talked about the business.

Gu Yuan got up and looked at Feng Lahua in the courtyard, "First the county prince's mansion, then the leak case, and now the household department, the second prince's handwriting is very big, this time he will not remain still."

"There are 20 people who came back with the escort certificate, and there are ten of our secret guards in the dark." Jiang Yi felt that he was going to Jinling soon, and the second prince was not so courageous.

Gu Yuan didn't look back, but seemed to see through his thoughts, "The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, not to mention that it is a dragon. Let someone prepare a horse, and I will rush over to pick him up overnight."

No matter what, if the Second Prince from the Household Department is dismissed this time, the Second Prince will not make any moves within a few years, Gu Yuan is not willing to work so hard all day long.

The second master has always predicted things like a god, Jiang Yi's heart was also terrified when he heard it, he didn't dare to say more, and immediately went out to confess.

In the same night, two figures galloped away from the southwestern gate of Jinling City.

And in a post station, Xie Yuanniang had just had dinner. Today, after a long day of driving, she took a rest when it was dark. There were a few hooting of owls, and it was quiet enough to hear the sounds of other passers-by in the building in the station eating and laughing.

Xie Yuanniang leaned her upper body out of the window, looking at the dark woods, letting the wind blow her freshly washed hair, and she reckoned that it would be dry after a while.

Although Ling Mei and the others were also riding in a carriage, they had been bumping in the carriage for a whole day, and Xie Yuanniang was afraid that they would be tired, so she let them rest early.

The birds in the forest, as if they were startled by something, suddenly flew up.

Xie Yuanniang looked into the depths, it was pitch black, even with the moonlight, she still couldn't see anything.

Not long after, I saw a group of people coming slowly from the official road to the post station. There were a lot of people, including seven or eight carriages. Including the people hugging each other, Xie Yuanniang estimated that there would be more than 20 people. , not to mention the people still sitting in the carriage.

The team was getting closer and closer, and when they saw the convoy through the lanterns hanging outside the post station, they could see that the people guarding the carriage were all from martial arts backgrounds, and they were all vigilantly watching the movement around them, while the people on the carriage , When they came down, they could hear the sound of chains, although they couldn't see them, but judging from their clumsy movements when they got off the carriage, they should be wearing shackles.

This is a group of prisoners.

Xie Yuanniang's first thought after seeing it.

Encountering such a thing will always make people feel uneasy.

Coupled with the hooting of owls from time to time, Xie Yuanniang's feeling was even worse.

She closed the window and stopped blowing her hair. When she got back to bed, she didn't want to hear the noise over there, but that's how people are. The more you don't want to hear it, the more clearly you can hear it. The people below are asking for a guest room, and there is a lot of noise. The tone is like that of officers and soldiers.

Xie Yuanniang felt that she was thinking too much, so she closed her eyes so that she would not listen or think, and she could continue on her way until dawn.

After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, she fell asleep quickly, and fell asleep without thinking about it. When she woke up in a daze, she was woken up by a fight outside, and there was a burst of thick smoke. Come out, there are people shouting.

Xie Yuanniang opened her eyes suddenly, she was woken up by choking, the thick smoke choked straight to her mouth and nose, and she couldn't open her eyes even more.

Xie Yuanniang took out the handkerchief next to the pillow and covered her nose, stumbled out of bed, touched in the direction of the door, but found that the door was blocked from the outside, and couldn't be pushed open at all. Xie Yuanniang tried several times but couldn't. Don't think too much in a hurry, so I can only run to the window.

Pushing open the window and stepping out with one leg, my body was unstable and my center of gravity fell, and I only cried out in alarm, and the whole person fell down.

She lived on the second floor of the station, and she fell headfirst, so one could imagine the consequences.

As her body fell, Xie Yuanniang could still feel the pain of the flames burning her face after the first floor burned.

As a result, the pain she imagined was gone, her waist was hugged, and her whole body was lifted up again. Suddenly, she opened her eyes suddenly.

Although the other party was covered and only a pair of eyes were exposed, Xie Yuanniang recognized it at a glance.

"Little uncle." She clasped the robe on his chest tightly with both hands, with an excited expression on her face.

I have forgotten the rest of my life just now.

With a vigorous posture, he jumped to the tree next to the post station in the night, and jumped to another tree, until he entered the woods and landed on the ground, and then stopped.

Xie Yuanniang supported the tree to stand firm. It was very dark in the woods. She didn't think of being afraid, but looked at the figure in front of her.

"Why is little uncle here?"

Gu Yuan was dressed in night clothes and didn't speak. He couldn't see his face clearly against the moonlight, but he could tell that he was looking at you.

Xie Yuanniang couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

Could it be that she had the wrong person?
But, no.

"If you know how long you live, you are not afraid to recognize me today, and I will silence you?" Gu Yuan's voice sounded colder than usual, as if he was a different person, "I dare not see people in the dark, and I appear again." Here, with your cleverness, you can guess that you must be doing something shameful."

"Little uncle is a good person, he won't hurt innocent people." Xie Yuanniang smiled, she is not a girl, she will be frightened by this, the little uncle is testing her.

She didn't know why she did this, but it was a lie in her heart to say that she wouldn't get hurt.

No matter what, in the previous life, she had been taking care of her in the Gu Mansion, and it was the little uncle who helped her. At that time, the little uncle never questioned her.

But thinking about it, she laughed again. In her previous life, she married into the Gu family and didn't communicate with outsiders. She was also considered a member of the Gu family. It's normal for the little uncle not to question her, so how can she be compared with this time.

The combination of the two lives is not young, and she herself feels a little ashamed for having such immature thoughts.

Gu Yuan's eyes were sharp, even in the dim light, he could clearly see the changes in the eyes of the little girl in front of him by the moonlight. The little girl's trust was still lost, and then she smiled with relief.

What is she thinking?
Relieved, he believed that he was right.

Why should you be relieved?
