Chapter 149 Joy
Still able to keep calm.
Gu Junqing nodded in praise in his heart.
It's just that the goal was not achieved, so there's nothing to be happy about.
Seeing that they were silent, Gu Junqing's expression remained the same, and he continued to make small talk:
"...I saw the county magistrate before I came here, and we got along pretty well, so I wanted to say goodbye before leaving, but I didn't see him in the county magistrate's mansion. I wanted to look for him somewhere else, but you Nanfeng Village kidnapped me first..."
Gu Junqing wanted to continue talking, but the two people behind him lost their temper when they heard the word "magistrate". One of them had a smug smile on his face, while the other spoke directly with a smile in his voice:
"Oh, he is just the magistrate of Minnan County, but in the end he still fell into the hands of our Nanfeng Village."
Seeing that he looked quite proud, Gu Junqing frowned and asked in a pretended angry tone:
"What on earth do you mean by that? You said the county magistrate is in your Nanfeng Village? How dare you rob the Minnan County Magistrate!"
Seeing that Gu Junqing was angry, the smugness on the faces of the two people behind him finally subsided a little, but they still didn't take Gu Junqing's words to heart and shut their mouths, looking like they were unwilling to talk further.
Seeing this, Gu Junqing didn't care and continued to act out what this character would say next. After she felt it was about right, she suddenly said as if she had a sudden thought:
"Can you take me down to see the magistrate? I am worried about you."
Hearing this, the two people who followed behind looked at each other, thinking that Gu Junqing was just a man who looked handsome but could do nothing else, so they felt relieved and were about to take Gu Junqing to Bai Yuanqing's place with a calm face.
Before the two of them could take Gu Junqing over, they suddenly ran into Liu Yao in front of them. It seemed that she was there waiting for Gu Junqing.
Seeing this, the two men who had been standing in front of Gu Junqing and leading the way immediately stood behind Gu Junqing, with respectful looks on their faces, as if they were not the ones who had the smug look just now.
"Master Gu"
Liu Yao, who was already standing in front of Gu Junqing, greeted him with a smile on her face.
Gu Junqing's face was cold, and he replied in a light tone: "Master Liu"
"What do you think?"
After greeting her, Liu Yao asked this question. Gu Junqing looked at her with a dark face, thinking that even if he agreed or not, he would still have to marry Liu Yao in the end, so what was the point of asking this question.
Liu Yao seemed to know what Gu Junqing was thinking. She chuckled and said in a brisk tone:
"If Master Gu agrees now, I will naturally be much happier."
That's just your happiness, why should you take her along?
Seeing that Gu Junqing didn't want to say more, Liu Yao didn't dwell on the matter any further and turned the topic to what she had just heard.
"Mr. Gu, do you want to go see County Magistrate Bai? I'm busy right now, so why don't I take you there?"
Her fingertips moved slightly, and Gu Junqing was silent for a while. For a moment, she thought Liu Yao had discovered something, but when she saw that her expression was still smiling and innocent, she became suspicious, but her expression was still cold and indifferent, and then she nodded.
The road is not far and we will arrive soon.
Gu Junqing followed behind Liu Yao and looked at the yard in front of them. There was a plaque hanging on it with the words "Rob the rich to help the poor" written on it. She was silent, not knowing what to say.
Noticing Gu Junqing's gaze, Liu Yao also raised her head and looked at the plaque. The smile on her face remained unchanged, but Gu Junqing felt that there was something inexplicable in that smile. Then she heard Liu Yao say to the plaque:
"Master Gu, you must find this funny too. In the eyes of the common people, we in Nanfeng Village have always been regarded as bandits who do all kinds of evil and have ruthless hearts. But something like this actually appeared in our own village."
Liu Yao seemed to be talking to herself, or talking to herself. After all, after she finished speaking, she ignored her, walked a few steps forward, pushed open the door and went in.
Gu Junqing followed.
Liu Yao really didn't lie to her. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Bai Yuanqing, who was talking to someone around him. However, she saw that the man who was talking to Bai Yuanqing gradually calmed down and knew that he must have been comforting someone. Gu Junqing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the group of people were fine.
Seeing everyone watching her and Liu Yao coming, their faces were either surprised or angry, and all kinds of emotions mixed together, making their expressions a little distorted. Before they could speak, Gu Junqing greeted them first:
"My Lord Magistrate, we were drinking tea and watching opera together in the restaurant a few days ago, but now we are stranded together in Nanfeng Village. It's really fate that plays tricks on us!"
Gu Junqing had his back to Liu Yao, so Liu Yao didn't notice anything.
Only Bai Yuanqing, who was facing Gu Junqing, could see the hint in her eyes and ask him to cooperate.
Bai Yuanqing understood immediately, so he sighed in coordination, saying, "Fate plays tricks on people, fate plays tricks on people..."
"Alright, what a joke of fate! Can't you see I'm here? Why are you saying these things in front of me? I don't care about my face." Liu Yao, who was standing behind them, looked at the two of them and reminded them with some dissatisfaction.
Seeing her speak, Bai Yuanqing and Gu Junqing didn't say anything more.
So Gu Junqing turned around and faced Liu Yao, and her pretty face instantly faded:
"Miss Liu, County Magistrate Bai is the magistrate of southern Fujian after all. It's not a good idea to tie him up like this, especially in such weather."
"Humph, I just tied him up, so what? Back then, he locked me up in that dark cell. Did I say anything?"
Liu Yao snorted in dissatisfaction, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Gu Junqing's questioning of me.
Gu Junqing was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that Bai Yuanqing and Liu Yao actually had a connection, and it sounded like it was quite a connection.
This sounded like she was talking to Gu Junqing, but Liu Yao's eyes were on Bai Yuanqing. Bai Yuanqing: "At that time, I thought Miss Liu was a thief who came to my county magistrate's office to steal things or assassinate, so I temporarily locked Miss Liu in jail. It was all a misunderstanding."
"Humph, if that's the case, then I tied Magistrate Bai here, it must be a misunderstanding. I thought Magistrate Bai brought so many people to my Nanfeng Village to wipe out my Nanfeng Village!"
"...Obviously, it's not the case. Miss Liu misunderstood."
Bai Yuanqing replied helplessly.
Gu Junqing watched quietly from the side, not knowing whether there was something wrong with him or with these two people. Although they were saying the same things, it felt like they were flirting. The atmosphere between these two people was not right.
But these two people were completely unaware of it.
