days of being forced

Last night, Gu Xingzhi slept late, and it was rare for Gu Xingzhi to be a little late. He glanced at Jiang Ning in his arms, his eyes were black and blue, and his fair and clear complexion made the black and blue more obvious.

He stretched out his hand to caress it, couldn't help but kissed it again, and then stood up cautiously.After getting dressed, washed and eaten, it's time for him to go out.

Jiang Ning fell into a deep sleep, Gu Xingzhi didn't wake him up again, and whispered in his ear that he was going out.After thinking about it, he got up and went to the cat litter in the pharmacy next door to catch a sweet kitten that was curled up and sleeping, and put it on top of Jiang Ning's head. The kitten found a comfortable position without struggling. Belly next to Jiang Ning's head and continued to sleep.

Gu Xingzhi chuckled, and then he really went out.

After going to the city gate to look around, Gu Xingzhi came to the yamen. The person who came to take revenge last night has not been dealt with yet.

Seeing him, Tan Yongyi said, "Xiao Er, I heard that you were called for revenge last night, are you not injured?"

"I'm fine." Gu Xingzhi said, "Have you been interrogated?"

Tan Yongyi naturally knew the meaning of Gu Xingzhi's question, he shook his head and said: "I have asked, but he has been refusing to reveal his sect. I have also seen his senior brothers, and I don't even know them. , they are probably not from Beiwulin."

The rivers and lakes are divided into four martial arts forests in the southeast, northwest and north. Among them, the northern and southern martial arts forests are the most popular and active.

The area where Gu Xingzhi is located belongs to Beiwulin.

Gu Xingzhi didn't study these things, but in order not to keep hitting the young ones and bringing the old ones, and putting his family in danger, he had to know who else was behind this person, and whether he needed to get rid of them directly.

"I'll go down and have a look."

"Go ahead, he's locked up in No. [-] Dizi room, and they might be investigating him now," Tan Yongyi said.

"Ah."

After entering the cell, the head of the cell greeted him and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Master Lieutenant is here, you are here for the prisoner caught last night, right? He is here, and we are still interrogating him. This person is stubborn. Refuse to say anything."

The soldier who brought the man over last night had already explained everything about that man. The management of the prison is already dark, and those with incomplete information like this would have been taken away for interrogation.Fang Yu didn't give any bribes, everyone knew that he had offended Gu Xingzhi, so naturally he treated him well.

Gu Xingzhi had heard these basic rules before.

"Lead the way ahead," he said.

"well."

When he arrived at a spacious place, Gu Xingzhi saw that Fang Yu was tied to a wooden frame, his whole body was wet, and his head was turned to one side without moving.And in front of him, several soldering irons were burning red, as if they had already been tortured.

Seeing him coming, a jailer directly splashed some water on Fang Yu's body. Fang Yu woke up, turned his head to the center and saw Gu Xingzhi.

Gu Xingzhi sat on the chair in front of him and asked, "Where is your teacher's school?"

Fang Yu let out a 'bah', and then looked away, clearly showing non-violent non-cooperation.

"It seems to be a decent school. At this time, you know that the things your junior brother did can't be said or put on the table. It's really interesting. The more you hide it, the more I want to know what kind of school it is. Teach a flower picker, and let everyone in the martial arts know about it."

As soon as the reputation of the teacher's school was mentioned, Fang Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately glared at Gu Xingzhi.

Gu Xingzhi ignored him and signaled the jailer to continue to torture him.If it weren't for the fact that these mortal bodies couldn't bear it, he would have searched for his soul with his spiritual sense.

I didn't want to spend my time here. After watching for a while, seeing that Fang Yu didn't speak at all, he got up directly, "Release the news that Brother Lou Yuchun has been arrested. During this period of time, strengthen patrols. If there is something strange , report to me immediately."

"Yes." The cell leader hurriedly replied, and followed him to send him away.

"That's right." Gu Xingzhi stopped, considering the martial arts of these jailers, the final effect might not be satisfactory.He took out two bottles from his arms, "Put this medicine in his cell. When someone comes to rob the prison, don't be too obstructive. After the effect of the medicine occurs, they will all be arrested. This bottle is the antidote , you take it in advance."

"Yes." The prison chief was happy now, and took the medicine bottle with both hands.

They know their own abilities. Compared with martial arts masters, they are dedicated to giving away heads. Every time they encounter a prison robbery, a few people will always die, so when they hear this, they are frightened.

Now that my life is somewhat guaranteed, I don't have to fight with my life, so I am naturally overjoyed.

After leaving the cell, Gu Xingzhi went to the city gate, and went home to have dinner with Jiang Ning at noon. As soon as he went out at noon, he was stopped by someone: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Gu Xingzhi? Our old lady is here to invite you. "

Gu Xingzhi asked, "Who is in your house?"

Then Gu Xingzhi was invited to the Yao Mansion, walked through several corridors, and finally came to the old lady Yao. According to the old lady's signal, he sat on a chair on the side.

Then he looked at the old lady: "I don't know why the old lady came to see me?"

He had a little idea in his mind, last night the maid next to the eldest lady ran out to complain, and it was hard for Mrs. Yao to say anything at night because there were so many people.I have some free time today, and this old lady Yao probably wanted to keep her mouth shut when she came to her, so don't tell about Miss Yao's harboring of thieves.

After all, with Ms. Yao protecting the thieves in front, it is difficult to bring up the matter of him breaking into other people's boudoir.

As Gu Xingzhi expected, Mrs. Yao first explained, explaining that Miss Yao was raised by herself too innocently, with a kind heart, and felt compassionate when she saw someone being hunted down, etc. Gu Xingzhi continued to cooperate Nodded, and said: "Don't worry, the matter of Miss Yao will be settled by today, and I will not mention it to anyone in the future."

Old lady Yao nodded in satisfaction, and then changed the subject: "I heard from Rourou that you carried her out of the tub last night."

???

Gu Xingzhi was a little unbelievable. Could it be that Mrs. Yao wanted him to be responsible?

The thought flashed by, and then Gu Xingzhi calmly pointed out: "It wasn't carried out. The situation was critical at the time, and Ms. Yao was held hostage by the thief and hid in the bathtub. In order to prevent that person from jumping over the wall in a hurry and hurting Ms. Yao, I had no choice but to Only then did she wrap Miss Yao in a cloak and grab her out. Don’t worry, the old lady, she never looked at Miss Yao’s whole body during the whole trip, and never touched a single inch of Miss Yao’s skin.”

Besides, Ms. Yao is still wearing clothes inside.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yao was unmoved.

Last night when she found out that Yao Rou had the guts to hide someone of unknown origin in her room, she was very angry.But seeing her beloved junior cry so sadly, her heart softened. After all, she grew up under her own nose, and she also knew that Yao Rou was a bit savage, but it was definitely not a bad one.

So in the end, I could only act both hard and soft, explaining the seriousness of the problem, seeing that she was afraid, and explaining that this time I would help her deal with the aftermath first.Few people know about this matter, Suqiu is someone close to her, she does things properly, she is not one to talk nonsense, and she was behind her back when she told her about it yesterday.And according to Suqiu's description of Gu Xingzhi's actions yesterday, it's easy to keep silent.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she mentioned Gu Xingzhi, her granddaughter's face immediately blushed, and after she asked, she expressed her feelings shyly.

Mrs. Yao was a little angry, but after she got angry, she felt that this matter was feasible. Gu Xingzhi broke into Rourou's boudoir and looked at Rourou's body. She should be responsible. She had a good impression of Gu Xingzhi yesterday. of.At daybreak, she sent someone to check on Gu Xingzhi's details, and thus this scene became the present one.

"Rourou is the only daughter-in-law of the Shangshu Mansion. Her mother left early, and the dowry will be brought with Rourou in the future. Not only that, but at that time, I will give her half of my wife's things. If anyone marries her, From then on, the official career will definitely be smooth sailing."

Gu Xingzhi: ...

Gu Xingzhi: "I've already married Zhengjun." Zhengjun is the official title of husband.

The old lady Yao was silent for a moment. If there was anything wrong with Gu Xingzhi, it would be that he had already married Zhengjun.However, "If you marry Zhengjun, you can also marry your wife, it doesn't affect the two."

To be honest, Madam's status is higher than Zhengjun's.

"You have to think clearly, that Zhengjun of yours is just an ordinary person, and has a bad relationship with her natal family, so she won't be able to help you in your official career in the future. And Rourou is the prostitute daughter of the Yao family. You have many more Zhengjuns. Our family doesn't force you to divorce him, but just be an ordinary wife. In order to make up for him, our family can also send some things as an apology."

"No need." Gu Xingzhi directly refused, he said: "I earn my own career, I don't need to rely on a woman." He was not degenerate to this point, relying on mountains and mountains, he has always believed in himself.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left without waiting for anyone to speak.Yao Rou, who was listening behind the screen, couldn't hold back anymore, she ran out and shouted: "Stop."

Gu Xingzhi ignored the reasoning and walked out directly.He respected Mrs. Yao because she was older and her words were more sensible. Even if she said these things at this moment, her attitude was good.But he didn't intend to talk to the little girl.

Yao Rou chased after a few steps, and seeing that he didn't stop, she suddenly became angry and shouted: "You are not allowed to go. If you are like this, aren't you afraid that my father will trouble you? He is a second-rank official of the imperial court. , you have offended our family, so don’t even think about going up again in the future.”

Gu Xingzhi paused this time, "Then I will accompany you anytime."

Then continue walking without looking back.

Yao Rou stomped her feet angrily, and wanted to say something more, but the old lady Yao called out in a dissatisfied voice: "Rou Rou."

"Grandmother~" Yao Rou knew that her grandmother didn't like her threatening others for no reason, but she was really sad, so she had to cry back to the old lady.

The old lady Yao sighed in her heart, and touched the back of her hand: "Since people don't agree, let's forget it. You are the daughter of a second-rank official in the imperial court. Why don't you find a young talent you like. They already have regulars. You are a gentleman, even if he is a gentleman, he is said to be the most beautiful woman in the Jianghu, and he has a very good relationship, so why do you have to bump into him."

Yao Rou lost her mother since she was a child, and has always been raised by her side. She doesn't mind how good the family background is for her granddaughter to find a partner, as long as she likes it.After investigation, she is satisfied with Gu Xingzhi, she has outstanding abilities, is good to her family and to her daughter-in-law, but after all the conditions are set out, she still doesn't like her granddaughter, so she thinks there is no need to continue, so as not to lose everyone Miss face.

"But grandma, I just like him." Yao Rou was also aggrieved.

She has never liked a person so much. Ever since she met Gu Xingzhi last night, the figure of the other person has been in her mind for a long time. When she thinks of him, she blushes and her heart beats endlessly.

Leaving aside the matter of the Yao family, Gu Xingzhi left the Yao mansion and continued to guard the city gate calmly. After returning in the afternoon, he found Jiang Ning standing in a daze under the Zhengyan plum tree blooming in the courtyard.

As soon as he looked up and saw Gu Xingzhi, Jiang Ning's eyes burst into tears, and the tears fell down instantly.

The whole courtyard was covered with snow, and the beauty looked up at him under the plum tree, weeping silently, and the picture was extremely beautiful.The end is a rare beauty.

Gu Xingzhi was amazed for a moment, then walked towards him, thinking what's wrong?Could it be that his mother came to talk about Jiang Ning?Other than his mother, Gu Xingzhi couldn't think of anyone else who could make Jiang Ning feel so wronged. Of course, occasionally he himself would make someone cry.

Before he came to the front, Jiang Ning couldn't help but ran over and begged for a hug. He hugged Gu Xingzhi's waist, and his voice was soft and crying, "Cousin~ the wedding dress...was taken by someone gone."

"What?" Gu Xingzhi couldn't react for a moment.

He has set up a formation at home. Generally speaking, except for the few people in the family, no one can enter or leave their house at will.You know, there are quite a few people with strong martial arts who want to come in these days, but they are all thrown out by the formation.

He patted Jiang Ning's back and coaxed in a warm voice: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll find it for you if you don't see it, don't cry, okay?"

"Yeah." Jiang Ning nodded slightly, was hiccupped again by crying, and was laughed by Gu Xingzhi, then really stopped, and gave Gu Xingzhi a look: "You will laugh at me, crying anxiously Isn’t it normal to hiccup?!”

If one ignores his blushing face, the tone is quite normal.

"Normal, normal." Gu Xingzhi followed his words, and then pulled people into the house: "It's so cold, what are you doing standing outside in a daze, let's go back to the house first, and put your little cat's face to shame. Give it a wash."

Jiang Ning's face puffed up angrily, and he took the hand that Gu Xingzhi brought over with his backhand, and replied: "I'm not in a daze, I was chasing the thief who stole something, but I didn't catch up. But Zai Zai chased him It hasn't come back yet, so I'm just standing there waiting for it." When he mentioned the Gale Dog, there was a little joy in his tone.

"Zai Zai is really powerful."

He is not worried about Blast Dog now. When Gu Xingzhi taught him martial arts before, he was also training Blast Dog. Many of the moves were extremely vicious, and Jiang Ning was worried.But the small group of Gale Dogs, relying on their own speed, was not injured, and could still bite from time to time, posing some threats.

Of course, Gu Xingzhi didn't use his full strength, and the little guy Haifenggou was not a high-ranking spirit beast in the Canglan Continent.But in this world of martial arts, if it wants to protect itself, there must be no problem.

I was busy comforting Jiang Ning before and didn't ask, but now that I mentioned it, Gu Xingzhi also asked: "Have you seen what that thief looks like?"

He suspected that the man might have been brought in by someone from their house. Because the house was too big to change, and two servants were not enough, he went to buy some people back.During this period of time, there were quite a few people who came to enter the formation, so he was a little careless.

It is even possible that this is an acquaintance committing the crime, but it is not necessarily true.

"I saw it." Jiang Ning said: "He ran too fast, so I just took a look. It should be the robber saint uploaded by Jianghu."

"What should I do? All the bets I made before are gone, it's a huge sum!" Jiang Ning said distressedly.

Gu Xingzhi: ...

He found that this little guy's thoughts are always so strange, isn't it the one who should be worried about now who brought that thief saint in the mansion?

He doesn't believe that the formations in the cultivation world can't stop a mortal.

After entering the house, he ordered the servant girl to bring a basin of clean water. Seeing Jiang Ning's distressed face, he thought he was still struggling with the problem of the money. He said helplessly, "Isn't our shop very profitable? Why do you value it so much?" this."

Jiang Ning gave him a blank look: "You are not in charge of the family and you don't know that rice, oil and salt are expensive. The shop is to make money, but you know how to spend money, okay! The stocks of several pharmacies in the city have been packed by you and it is not enough. Now the medicinal materials you want The types have also changed, and they are not cheaper than before. Some expensive medicinal materials cost hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, and you want more than a little." He almost doubted whether Gu Xingzhi would ask for only a few medicinal materials in the future. It is only found in the tribute of the tribute.

"Besides, most of the medicines you make cannot be sold. We spent a lot of money to buy the house before, and there is not much. Now we have lost a lot of money. Don't you allow me to feel sorry for you? ?”

Well, he has no one to talk to.

Gu Xingzhi had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, the injustice has the head and the debtor, I'll get back the wedding dress when the time comes, and let him pay the money by the way, okay?"

Jiang Ning snorted: "It's not too bad, you can ask for a little more when the time comes, this old robber likes to steal other people's favorite things, it's too annoying. Don't forget about the rest, what's the matter with stealing the wedding dress, even if he owns it He just steals from the rich and helps the poor, never uses it for himself, and is also very annoying, and the world even calls him a grand thief."

"Okay." Gu Xingzhi agreed.

The maid came in with a basin of water, Jiang Ning went over to wash his face, the water was a bit cold, just enough to cover his red eyes from crying, the cold feeling was really comfortable.

After washing, he wiped off the water on his face with a handkerchief, and applied some of the skin care product that Gu Xingzhi specially made for him, and he felt happy again in an instant.

Just after Jiang Ning wiped it, there was movement at the door, it was Blast Dog who came back.

He walked over and squatted down to touch the dog's furry body, and checked, "Are you not injured?"

Haifeng dog raised his neck and barked, with a look of disdain, how can such a mortal hurt me.But it still enjoys Jiang Ning's concern, the tail behind it wags very happily, rubbing its head against Jiang Ning's hand.

Seeing that it was not injured, Jiang Ning smiled happily, and while stroking Zai Zai, he turned his head and said happily to Gu Xingzhi: "I forgot to say that before, didn't the thief saint come to steal the wedding dress, and then was caught by Zai Zai?" I found it. It rushed over and bit the Saint Thief’s ass, and the Saint Thief screamed in pain. Now that I think about it, I’m so ridiculous.”

As he said that, he laughed happily.

When Haifenggou heard Jiang Ning complimenting him, his eyes became brighter, his tail was raised higher, and he flicked it more cheerfully.
