"Oh!"
Guozi was young after all. He was frightened yesterday and again today, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden. His body and the cage in his other hand hit the ground with a dull sound.
Those who wake up at this time are usually servants, and most of them work in the kitchen. Guozi couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he subconsciously wanted to find Li Mofu.
But when Guozi stood in front of the door, he hesitated again. Just as he was hesitating, Li Mofu's door opened. Li Mofu looked up expressionlessly and was a little surprised to see Guozi standing in front of the door. "Guozi? What's wrong with you?"
When Guozi heard Li Mofu's concerned question, he felt relieved and blurted out, "Master, something happened!"
"Ah? What happened again?" Li Mofu asked with a blink. He wanted to sleep just now, but he couldn't close his eyes, so he got up, put on his clothes and wanted to take a walk before going to sleep.
Guozi's face was filled with fear. "Yesterday, that man stuffed a piece of cloth in the cage with 'Get Out' written on it! Oh my God, Master, he came again this morning and told us to get out! Did we meet a ghost?"
Li Mofu raised an eyebrow and reached out to take the piece of cloth from Guozi's hand. There were indeed three words embroidered on it with very poor craftsmanship. "I guess it has been in the cage since last night, not this morning."
Guozi calmed down, thought about it and agreed, "Then, what should we do?"
"Just take this broken thing and tell Mo Yi to go talk to Lu Mingyun and tell him to clarify things. Then tell me when he catches the guy." Li Mofu said as he returned the cloth to Guozi and walked down the stairs to go for a walk.
"Where are you going, sir?" Guozi asked hurriedly.
"I can't sleep, so I'm going for a walk in the yard." Li Mofu said, looking at the sky which was not yet fully bright.
Guozi naturally didn't dare let Li Mofu walk around alone, especially after what happened last night. "Guozi, please accompany the young master for a walk."
Li Mofu didn't refuse and walked towards the path on his own. He felt that he seemed to be too energetic. He lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. His eyes were still wide open like light bulbs.
In the past, Li Mofu's insomnia was probably caused by two reasons: one was that he had slept too long, and the other was that he had been thinking too much. But this time, Li Mofu neither slept much nor thought too much, but he just couldn't fall asleep.
The air was very cold in the early morning, so cold that Li Mofu didn't even feel angry when he passed by the pond. He stared at the pond calmly for a while, then looked up at the pavilion.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually a very simple thing, but because it takes too long, people can't notice it immediately.
Whether it was the face painted on the pavilion beam or the intriguing story heard in the teahouse and then the haunted courtyard, it was actually a foreshadowing and a warning. It set the stage for yesterday's events and what would happen next, and warned Li Mofu and the others to retreat quickly.
Considering that Lu Mingyun was quickly assigned an official position by the emperor and was quickly asked to go to Su County, this courtyard might be hiding something, so those people repeatedly chose to use intimidation to make them leave.
As for why those people chose to scare and warn Li Mofu, it was simply because they felt that Li Mofu, trapped in one place for years, was like those ignorant women, and if they were scared, she would make a fuss about moving to another place.
Lu Mingyun "loves" Li Mofu so much that he will give in after being teased so many times. Then they can move the things and it will be perfect.
Lu Mingyun has been practicing martial arts for many years and is very brave, so it is not easy to scare him. Naturally, that person would not choose to scare him.
However, they probably didn't expect that Li Mofu was so tiring that he didn't even try to leave, which led to what happened last night.
Li Mofu recalled everything carefully while walking slowly back to the house, with Guozi following not far behind him.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep. You can go and do your thing." Li Mofu said.
Guozi responded and helped Li Mofu take off his shoes and clothes before leaving.
After leaving Li Mofu's bedroom, Guozi went to find Mo Yi first. Mo Yi was about to leave to find Lu Mingyun. Seeing Guozi looking for him, he was confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Guozi handed the white cloth to Mo Yi and recounted what had just happened with a frown. The more Mo Yi listened, the worse his expression became, but he still soothed him, "The young master should be awake now. I'll go talk to him right away. You continue to guard Master Li."
After that, Mo Yi left the yard in a hurry. Guozi also went to say something to Nanny Liang, and then returned to Li Mofu's room to look after him.
About three quarters of an hour later, Lu Mingyun came back.
The reason why he didn't come back last night was because he found out something. When he was browsing the files of past cases, big and small, Lu Mingyun found that there was an unsolved case that had not been solved yet. The deceased in this unsolved case had worked as the household clerk of the sixth room in the county government, which means that the deceased had been in charge of accounts and taxes for the county government.
The deceased died shortly before the account books went bankrupt, and he wasn't fired, but resigned from his position on his own accord. As for how he died, it was reported he was strangled and then hung from a beam, but the perpetrator has yet to be identified.
Lu Mingyun thought this was too much of a coincidence, so he decided to stay up all night to sort out what happened during Huang Minyuan's reign. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened just because he was away from home for one night.
Guozi was feeling a little bored as he stayed in Li Mofu's room, frowning and nodding his head, so when he heard a knock on the door, he was immediately startled.
"Shh," Mo Yi pushed open the corner of the window and looked at him, "Come out, the young master has something to ask you."
Guozi immediately woke up and stood up, then tiptoed out of the room. Lu Mingyun was waiting for him in the hall.
"How is Li Mofu?" Lu Mingyun's brows have been furrowed since the day he came back.
Guozi said quickly, "The young master was very angry last night, but he didn't show it and he calmed down quickly. But for some reason, he got up very early this morning and didn't feel sleepy at all. He walked around the yard twice before going back to bed."
"I guess he's sad."
