Chapter 199 The title is annoying
"Cut off one of his hands and send him to the Yu family." Gu Xu said.
The Yu Mansion steward who was kneeling on the ground suddenly showed a look of despair. The new steward behind Gu Xu was almost frightened to the point of peeing, and tremblingly put the few pages he had just written down into his arms.
"Help Yu Weishuang well and don't do anything tricky." Gu Xu turned around and wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief. "Did you remember everything?"
"Yes, I have noted it all. I understand." The new steward knelt down and did not dare to get up.
Gu Xu raised his chin to signal, and Wu Yan lifted the kneeling steward and put him into the carriage. Wu Feng and Wu Yun were dealing with the bodies of the servants, wrapping up the steward's severed hand and putting it into a wooden box.
"Master, what are these goods?" Wu Huo pried open the boxes on the Yu Mansion's cart, which contained cloth, utensils, and some spices. The five carts were fully loaded, and he also found a silver certificate on the steward.
"It's a pity that it's just a registered letter." Wu Huo threw the letter to Gu Xu.
"There are four hundred taels, not a small amount. Change your appearance and take it out." Gu Xu said.
Wuyun is responsible for this matter.
"As for the rest... take all the spices away, and sell the utensils in a market." Gu Xu walked to the cloth box and rummaged through it. "Pick some of the cloth to make clothes, and sell the rest."
"Thank you, master!" Several people clasped their fists.
"Since you have helped Miss Yu so much, it is only right that we get some compensation." Wu Feng said with a smile.
"Pack up and leave quickly. The people arranged by Qin Zhaohong will be here soon." Gu Xu said.
Everyone gathered their belongings and got on the carriages, including Gu Xu, who drove one by himself. They left the place, leaving behind a pile of corpses and an empty carriage.
……
About an hour later, a group of people came hurriedly.
The leader immediately wore a sword, and seeing the bloody scene in the distance, he immediately drew his sword and said, "Line up!"
The guards surrounded the sedan in the middle.
The leader rode forward cautiously, and when he saw nothing unusual, he dismounted. He looked at the bodies scattered on the ground one by one and shook his head.
"What's going on?" asked the person in the sedan.
The leader of the guards returned to the sedan chair and said, "Sir, I don't know whose servant it is, but it seems that he was killed by bandits."
Xue Duan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and got off with a frown.
"Sir, the scene is bloody..." the guard leader advised.
"I want to see what the city guards of Luoyang City are doing. In broad daylight, they allow bandits to kill people right at the foot of the imperial city!" Xue Duan walked towards the scene.
The leader of the guards shook his head and followed closely.
……
Before reaching the camping spot agreed upon by both parties, Wu Yan reined in his horse and stopped.
Normally there were few carriages on this stretch of the road, but today there was a long line of cars. There seemed to be someone stopping the cars in the front for inspection, but the distance was too far to see clearly.
"There's something unusual ahead." Wu Yan said to Gu Xu, who was walking side by side with him. He whistled for Wu Feng and ordered him to check the situation in front of the congested traffic.
Gu Xu's heart skipped a beat.
Across the road ahead is the woods where Gu Yue camped. What happened?
Not long after, Wu Feng came back with a serious expression on his face: "It's the Hidden Dragon Guards who are searching for something in the forest. Their carriages are blocking the road."
Gu Xu's face changed.
Wu Feng said quickly: "Master, I have asked around, they are looking for someone. I haven't heard of anyone being captured."
Wu Yan said: "With Shi San's ability, he won't be caught so easily."
Gu Xu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Let's change our route."
He turned the car with one hand and took out a map with the other. There were many official roads around Luoyang City. Gu Xu looked for a while and locked his eyes on a road with mountains on both sides.
The convoy took a moment to turn and head towards the mountain path.
……
It only took half a day for the bodies in the car to start to stink.
Gu Yue originally wanted to hurry back to Liuli Town while waiting for Gu Xubian to find him and stop catching up, but the stench of a corpse was something that could not be endured by just enduring it. After enduring it for an hour, Gu Yue finally gave up and asked Shi San to find a secluded alley to park the car. The two of them worked together to move the body out of the car.
A car, a corpse and a person were parked in the alley waiting.
Luoyang City is big, and the fireworks signal gun is not very useful, but it is easy to attract strange people. Gu Yue and Gu Xu are basically out of touch, but Gu Yue thinks that the reason why he is hiding here is very easy to guess, so Gu Xu should be able to find him quickly, right?
It's not like he would get furious and kill Tang Wuling just because he doesn't see him for a while.
That would save trouble!
It would be better to find a reason and ask Gu Xu to kill Wen Qingyin Wang Tang Wuling and others directly.
But I need an excuse that won't make him suspicious...
I was sitting on the grass and daydreaming when I saw Shi San suddenly stand up and face the direction outside the grove.
Wu Feng poked his head out from the bushes: "Boss Gu!"
"Wu Feng!" Gu Yue was very surprised.
Not disappointing him, Gu Xu came out from the bushes right after him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Yue standing there unharmed.
"What's going on?" Gu Xu walked forward, grabbed Gu Yue and looked at the front and then the back.
Wu Feng noticed that Shi San's shoulder was wrapped in a white cloth: "Oh my god, Brother Shi San is injured? It must have been a fierce battle!"
"You're here at the right time. Look at this quickly. It'll rot if you don't!" Gu Yue pulled Gu Xu to the side of the mountain wall.
The temperature here was slightly lower, so Gu Yue used it to store the body. But he couldn't keep staring at the body and chasing away flies, and as soon as Gu Xu approached, many flies flew up.
Gu Xu's breathing stopped and his face was shocked for a moment.
This posture...
When he saw the naked body lying on the ground, Gu Xu fell silent.
what is this?
The true identity of the vixen?
Or some kind of body-stealing tool?
Gu Xu's thoughts raced in an instant.
"Shi San and I were at the camping site at night..." Gu Yue told the whole story, and emphasized the process of his fraudulent intelligence. "This person should have some relationship with the Lingfeng Pavilion he mentioned."
"Lingfeng Pavilion..." Gu Xu murmured.
“Although I don’t know who Tang Wuling and Wen Qing are, the more secrets of the Luoyang court I know, the better. To be able to get those Hidden Dragon Guards to come and arrest them, his identity must be extraordinary. It’s just a pity…”
Gu Yue felt regretful whenever he thought about it.
This incident also reminded him that although Shi San is useful, he is not omnipotent, and he should always think one step further before doing anything.
Or perhaps, he did not have a clear understanding of the cruelty of the power struggle in Northern Qin.
Not everyone is willing to listen to you.
"Oh, by the way, he has this thing on his finger. I think it has something to do with Lingfeng Pavilion." Gu Yue wrapped the sticky wrist of the corpse with a handkerchief, raised the hand, and revealed the tattoo on the little finger.
Gu Xu rarely lost his composure and took a step forward!
