Chapter 208 It’s Not a Good Day to Spend Money
"I don't know. Apart from those who were carrying people and guarding the cemetery, I didn't see anyone else. It was so quiet that it didn't seem like a village with only five or six hundred people." Xinhai replied.
I felt something was wrong when I went there today. I don’t know if it was because of the plague or something else, but the nearby villages were eerily quiet.
"That's strange. The plague may be a reason, but it's unlikely that everything is closed." Gu Qingyun suddenly felt a splitting headache and tinnitus permeated his entire body.
Gu Qingyun just remembered that today he not only had no time to drink water, but he also hadn't eaten a single bite of food.
Gu Qingyun covered his head and said, "Forget it. It's true that there is something fishy about this matter, and it's also true that Guojiazhuang is united. We may not find anything by investigating directly, so let's ask from the side first. Even if it's united, it's not difficult to treat living people like this..."
Everyone else nodded. Indeed, this incident still seems to be a new story now. After all, no one knows what happened, and they don’t even know if the dead person is a stranger. What if they all think about it and find out that it’s not the case?
Chen Xi was unhappy. "Is this how the Dali Temple does things? I told you there was something fishy, but you didn't believe me. I spent a whole day checking to see if it was true. Now it says it's true. What else do you want to investigate? Go arrest him quickly!"
Chen Xiben was a peddler who traveled back and forth between the south and the north. He sold all kinds of fun, delicious and easy-to-eat things on both sides. The plague had already had a huge impact, and he was planning to collect some goods and then go to the south, but who knew he would encounter this incident.
He was timid and didn't dare to leave, for he was afraid that there would be problems with his business.
"It's okay, sir. You just took a look. Didn't we let you go at that time? If I didn't let you go and killed you directly, who would know? You can just relax and go. Otherwise, you can hire a few people from the escort agency. Otherwise, we can't do anything to delay your business." Zhao Huaiqing explained in a good voice.
Chen Xi refused, "No, you can't just chase me away like this. If the old village chief knew that I reported the case, I would be dead. No, I won't leave."
Seeing that Chen Xi was about to cry, Gu Qingyun said, "But this evidence is insufficient, we really can't arrest anyone. Moreover, if the old village chief only saw the burial and didn't kill anyone, we won't be able to catch him in the end."
Chen Xi suddenly became like a deflated ball, sitting at the side with his hands and feet in his arms, looking depressed.
"This is our archive room. There are so many files in it. You can't stay here at night." Gu Qingyun advised again.
The entire Dali Temple was almost poisoned before, so the Dali Temple Chief issued a death order to strengthen patrols and not allow outsiders to stay overnight. It is easier to check your own people, but if an outsider evades and you can't catch him, there is nothing you can do.
Chen Xi was dejected and silent, so Gu Qingyun could only say, "We are about to leave the court, you should think of a solution as soon as possible. The inn across the street can accommodate people. If you are really scared, just stay closer. If you need help, the Dali Temple will not sit idly by."
Chen Xi shook his head and nodded.
Perhaps he realized that his struggle was meaningless and had no choice but to leave.
Gu Qingyun took a deep breath and finally persuaded the devil to leave.
"I'm going to find something to eat. You guys can handle it yourselves." Gu Qingyun left after saying this. If there was anything, they could talk about it after dinner. He had a splitting headache now and couldn't think of anything.
Before he knew it, he arrived at Kyoto Restaurant. After the plague started, Gu Qingyun hadn't eaten there for a long time and missed it terribly.
He tied a pigeon and let it fly in.
At this time, An Qiao was eating shaved ice and grilled meatballs.
I saw a pigeon stopped beside me and didn't leave. The pigeon and a person stared at each other for a long time.
An Qiao was still wondering why he didn't leave, "Are you hungry?" An Qiao asked.
The pigeon fluttered a few times before An Qiao saw a piece of paper under its feet. Puzzled, she took the paper from under the pigeon's feet and opened it to see a few words written clearly on the back of the paper.
"Hungry!!! Keep going with the rice!!! Meat!!! Lots of rice and meat!!!!"
At the end, there was a line of small words left, handsome and charming Gu Qingyun.
An Qiao couldn't help laughing out loud, divine gold.
But she still turned and went into the kitchen to look for something to eat. Soon, fried pork, deep-fried meat, mixed tofu, two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of rice were ready.
An Qiao was walking out with the basket, and on the way she met Lixia and Lidong who were playing by the lake. "Girl, what are you doing? Are you feeding the cat?"
Ever since Qiufen picked up the cat, Anqiao often feeds the cat, which has almost become Anqiao's entertainment activity.
An Qiao couldn't help laughing, "No, Gu Qingyun wanted it, I'll send it to the door."
"Ah? Then let's go, young lady. It would be bad if you get sick when you go out." Lidong said immediately.
Everyone noticed that Qiufen was sick last time. If it weren’t for the calm young lady, perhaps we would all be doomed. Fortunately, there is the young lady, so there is no need to worry.
An Qiao waved her hand, "It's okay, I won't go out, he's outside the door, I'll just pass it to him."
The two little girls were worried and kept chattering about wanting to go. An Qiao didn't refuse, after all, playing in the water was dangerous.
The three of them talked about what had happened before as they walked, laughing so hard that they fell over.
Gu Qingyun received the pigeon half an hour ago and had been waiting impatiently. Finally, he heard the laughter of An Qiao and others and felt extremely envious. This must be the real paradise.
"Gu Qingyun, are you outside?"
Soon, An Qiao's voice was heard from inside.
Gu Qingyun quickly replied, "Yes, I am here!!!"
Hearing An Qiao's voice, Gu Qingyun seemed to hear a savior falling from the sky, and all those chicken legs and duck legs were trying hard to run towards him.
Soon, the door opened a crack, An Qiao handed out a basket, and Gu Qingyun took it.
"Thank you, young lady." Gu Qingyun stuffed four or five silver ingots into it.
An Qiao was stunned, "What are you doing?"
Gu Qingyun said, "It's hard to make ends meet with so many people. If the company goes bankrupt, will I hire you to be my cook?"
It was originally a good word, but it was not a good word when it came out of Gu Qingyun's mouth.
An Qiao didn't take it. "You haven't finished your meal yet. Give me the money after you finish your meal."
Gu Qingyun was stubborn and refused to take his hand back, and An Qiao was also stubborn and ignored him.
After thinking about it, An Qiao only said, "Be careful."
So he closed the door, leaving Gu Qingyun holding the silver ingot outside the door dumbfounded. Now she doesn’t even like money? ? ? Then what should I give her next time? Oh, that’s not right, why should I give her something? ? ?
An Qiao was also dazed, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
Fortunately, I brought two stupid ones with me.
"Why don't you take the money, young lady?"
"You are stupid, Mr. Gu is always so generous, I don't want to owe him a favor!"
