Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 184 They've Caught Up
Feng Hao stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought, his mind somewhat dazed.
"Brother Changtian, could you please give this to Madam Lin? It's something I owe her." After the two finished talking, Feng Hao handed a cloth bag to Jiang Changtian.
I hadn't seen Feng Hao for over a month, and he looked much older and tired.
"I'm sorry for what I did to you before; I almost betrayed your trust." This was the fifty taels of silver that Lin Shuyun had lent him.
His family no longer needed it, and the fifty taels were a mix of small and large amounts.
Jiang Changtian didn't ask any questions, accepted the item, and left.
Guo Hongfang grabbed Feng Hao's arm in surprise, "Fifty taels of silver! Madam Lin just lent it to you like that? How generous of you! How did you manage to scrape together the money and pay it back?"
Feng Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "My mother is very ill, and we haven't been able to use this money."
“I don’t think Brother Jiang knows anything about this. You’re not returning the money to Madam Lin, but to Brother Jiang instead. Isn’t that affecting their relationship?” Guo Hongfang couldn’t help but chime in.
"No, Brother Changtian trusts him very much." Feng Hao quickened his pace after saying that.
From the moment he began to suspect Lin Niangzi, his brotherhood with Jiang was no longer what it used to be.
"Hey, wait for me!"
……
……
It's been two days since Master Guo was murdered. Apart from knowing that the woman disguised as a man who disappeared into thin air was the murderer, Gu Nanfeng hasn't found any other clues.
He had personally seen Guo San's body; the woman's skill in slitting his throat was admirable.
But this person seemed to have vanished into thin air as they pursued him, which was really too strange.
However, Gu Nanfeng received another message from his subordinates at this time.
The dilapidated temple where he had planned to stay had once housed three children who were taken away by a beautiful woman.
According to the beggar, his eyeballs were gouged out by that woman.
Gouging out eyes and slitting throats are all done by women.
Could these two be the same person?
Gu Nanfeng ordered his men to continue the investigation, including the three children. He refused to believe that so many people could simply disappear.
Seeing Gu Nanfeng's big move in Wuyun County, Dean Bai approached Gu Nanfeng with a forced smile.
"Lord Gu, there's no need to alarm your experts. This area is inhabited by ordinary people. Let my people investigate the people you're looking for."
If we let him keep searching like this, our grandmaster will no longer be able to hide it.
Gu Nanfeng was somewhat reluctant, but he eventually agreed, "Then I'll have to trouble Dean Bai."
Seeing that Gu Nanfeng was no longer lingering in that area, Dean Bai finally breathed a slight sigh of relief upon returning to the academy, and then began investigating Jiang Changtian's student status.
Shi Luo reported the clues he had found to Dean Bai, guessing, "It should be Prefect Xu."
Although it's just a guess, it's pretty close to the truth.
Dean Bai's expression turned cold. "He has quite the nerve, daring to do something like this."
Shi Luo's investigation was very thorough; there were no problems at the higher levels. The only issues lay with Prefect Xu and Magistrate Meng.
Magistrate Meng didn't have the guts, and it was only because the hospital director had been too busy lately and hadn't had time to deal with these matters that someone took advantage of the situation.
"If it weren't for Gu Nanfeng, that troublemaker, I could have gotten rid of my student status by writing a letter of divorce to Director Jiang. But now that he's around, there's nothing I can do."
Dean Bai feared that if he made any move, his superiors would hear the news, and if the Emperor Emeritus's position were exposed, there would be a lot of trouble.
"Sigh, Jiang Changtian was originally my good apprentice, but I never expected his fate to be so bumpy." Dean Bai sighed as he lay back in his chair.
If it weren't for the difference in seniority, such a promising talent would have been his apprentice, and all these troubles wouldn't have happened.
Dean Bai remembered Old Man Xu, "By the way, where is your grandmaster? Has he come over to get some wine recently?"
"No." Shi Feng shook his head.
The dean forbade them to keep an eye on things every day, and they didn't know much about the situation. They only knew that their master was being treated like a beast of burden by that woman from the Lin family.
"This is truly a miracle! He's actually stopped drinking!" Dean Bai was quite pleased to hear this.
Just as she was feeling happy, Shi Luo received another message.
"Dean, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Dean Bai glared at him, "When did you start doing this? Speak your mind, or shut up."
After saying that, he realized he had been too rude, so he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, let's hear the good news first. Let me speak, no, I mean, tell me."
Shi Luo, his face full of black lines, said, "The good news is that Marquis Gu is no longer keeping an eye on our academy."
This is indeed good news.
"And what's the bad news?" Dean Bai was mentally prepared. Anyway, there were already so many trivial matters, how much worse could it get?
Shi Luo said, "Bad news, Lord Gu has gone to the countryside with our grandmaster."
"what?!"
Dean Bai jumped up from his chair, looking like he was going crazy.
Others may not have seen the Emperor Emeritus, but Gu Nanfeng has.
If they were recognized and attracted the Second Prince's men, it would be a huge problem.
……
……
At the gate of the courtyard.
Lin Shuyun and her family are all ready to go.
Before setting off, everyone went to Dr. Zhang's place together, and Gu Chen, Gu Ru, and Gu Bao were also brought along.
Qin Niangzi looked at the carriage that Old Man Xu and Xiaoqing had hired and didn't know what to say.
“One carriage isn’t enough. Let’s hire another one. This kid’s injuries are pretty serious. We shouldn’t let him get on the road; he might get hurt and die from the bumpy ride.”
It's obvious there are so many people in one carriage. What are these two thinking?
Old Xu said guiltily, "Why can't we fit everyone? This carriage is so big. If we squeeze in, the women can sit inside and the men can sit outside, then there will be enough room."
Xiaoqing snorted, "Can't you say a single nice word? All you do is wish for other people to die all day long."
Hiring a horse-drawn carriage costs money, but the old man was stingy and wouldn't pay. Even so, it was only after haggling that we were able to hire him.
When Qin Niangzi saw that the two of them were ganging up on her, she immediately lost her temper and said, "You're good at saying nice things, say one!"
Xiaoqing retorted, "Why should I say nice things to you! Who do you think you are?!"
Lin Shuyun stopped the commotion in time, "Alright, alright, one cart is fine, just make do. When we get to town, we'll all take the oxcarts back. It's cheap, convenient, and saves money. Stop arguing!"
Seeing so many people, Gu Ru and Gu Bao huddled nervously beside Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's face wasn't as pale anymore, but he still couldn't get up and could only lie down.
Dr. Zhang said that I need to rest for a few more days before I can get up and walk.
The last carriage was too crowded, so the women and children got on, and the rest of the people walked.
Old Xu, wearing his big straw hat, took up the seat at the front of the carriage.
In the end, only Xiaoqing and Jiang Changtian were left walking.
A world where two people are injured is achieved.
