Chapter 174 Die Too Late
Gu Yunyao and the head master watched in the dark, their curiosity aroused, and they listened carefully to the servant's report.
Jian Zheng was so frightened by this voice that he trembled: "Why are you howling? What's wrong!"
"Back to the master, I have been watching the Zhuo family just now to report that it was Mr. Zhuo who... died of serious injuries."
Jian Zheng opened his eyes slightly and fell down on the chair.
The lady rolled her eyes and almost lost her breath.
Of course, the two of them were not worried about the life and death of Young Master Zhuo. If Young Master Zhuo died, the Zhuo family would not let go of their son.
"This...God, how good is this? My Wen'er..."
The servant lowered his head and continued: "The Zhuo family has gathered a dozen nursing homes and come to us."
Madam stumbled to Jian Zheng's side and grabbed his arm: "Master, what should we do? You can think of a way!"
"What can I do?" Jian Zheng murmured, closing his eyes hard.
"Are we just going to watch our son die?" Madam's tears rolled down her cheeks. "Go and beg the prince. You have served him for so many years and you just don't care. I will go into the palace to see Concubine Yun, and we will go our separate ways."
Jian Zheng was worried: "That's fine, let's just give it a try."
The couple changed their clothes and were about to leave the house. The servant at the door came to report that the Zhuo family had arrived in front of the door and were shouting that they would kill for life.
"Go through the back door, quickly! Go there before they block the back door."
The two of them hurried to the back door again.
The boss sneered in a low voice: "You deserve it!"
Gu Yunyao stroked her chin with her fingers, her eyes sly: "Originally, I wanted to add fuel to the flames, but now it seems there is no need."
"Once a person dies, it is impossible to save it no matter how hard you try. The Zhuo family," the head of the family snorted coldly, "is not a good person, and his son is even worse. Originally..."
When the boss said this, he pursed his lips again.
Gu Yunyao was listening with interest: "What is it? Aunt Gu, tell me quickly!"
The boss turned away and said, "You are a girl, so it is not good for you to hear this."
"Aunt Gu, if you say that, I will be sad. Although I come from a girl's family, I am not an ordinary girl. I am my father's daughter, the General Tiger Girl.
I also look forward to having the opportunity to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy like you."
The headmaster looked at her again, his eyes bright: "I knew Ayao was different.
Well, let me tell you, before we occupied the mountain as king, it was not just for Erlong Mountain, we also paid attention to the trends near the capital.
I found that Mr. Zhuo went to the small village outside the city every once in a while, and took away many young and handsome men, some of whom were only twelve or thirteen years old, in the name of buying books and boys.
Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that this guy was like Long Yang, and all those people were tortured to death by him.
We originally thought of getting rid of such a harm, but then we met you, so we put the matter aside for the time being.
Huh, evil people will be punished by heaven! People named Zhuo have done so many evil things that even God can’t stand it anymore.”
Gu Yunyao rubbed his hands gently: "This kind of person really deserves to die, then this matter will be much more interesting. Isn't this dog eating dog?"
"Let them bite and see who can bite whom. When both are injured, I will take action." Gu Yunyao rolled her eyes, "Aunt Gu, do you know where the family members of the victims are?"
The headmaster shook his head: "Although the person named Zhuo is hateful, he is very careful in his work.
We have checked, and either he is looking for someone who has only one person at home, and no one cares about his life or death;
Or maybe there aren’t many people in the family, and everyone else just silences them.”
Gu Yunyao frowned slightly: "It's too late for such a wicked person to die. It's okay, I'll find a way."
Following Jianzheng and his wife all the way to the city gate, their carriage in the snow looked extremely small compared to the huge imperial city.
As expected, as Gu Yunyao expected, at this hour, their carriage could not even enter the gate of the imperial city.
Needless to say, the Prince is banned from the East Palace. It is most appropriate to use this excuse to excuse his absence.
As for Concubine Yun Gui, Mrs. Zhou is not a person of imperial edict. She doesn't pay attention to the wife of a minor eunuch at all.
The couple returned in vain, and Zhuo's family made trouble in front of the house again, so they simply went to an inn to stay for one night.
Gu Yunyao returned home, warmed up her body, and thought about the next countermeasures.
It wasn't until late at night that she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Lanhua made some shredded pork noodles and delivered them.
Gu Yunyao observed her calmly and found nothing unusual.
After giving her a few compliments as usual, Gu Yunyao asked her to leave. As soon as Gu Yunyao finished eating the noodles, the housekeeper came to see her.
"Back to the county master, two people came outside the door. They said they wanted to sell themselves into slavery and refused to leave in front of the door. Please make your decision."
Gu Yunyao often hears about this kind of thing, but has never seen it with her own eyes.
But it was a troubled time at this time, and she was still on guard: "What kind of person is he? Doesn't the second lady usually make the decision on this kind of thing? What did she say?"
"The second madam is not in good health. She said that her old problems recurred when the weather got cold. The eldest lady is here to take care of her. The old lady is not afraid to leave the house because of the slippery snowy weather..."
The housekeeper cleared his throat: "The old lady said that now that the county master can stand alone, it is up to you to make the decision on this matter."
Gu Yunyao squinted her eyes slightly as she listened. How could she make the decision? This was something no one wanted to deal with, right?
After thinking for a long time: "Second Madam, are you having an old habit? Aunt Gu, please send them some charcoal later as a token of my appreciation."
"yes."
"Housekeeper," Gu Yunyao turned around and ordered, "go back to the old lady and tell her that she really needs to take good care of herself in this weather. My grandfather gave me a dream and he was worried that she would be in trouble this winter. It seemed to be related to the loss of her arms and legs. Don't worry.
It fell."
housekeeper:"……"
"Okay, let's go and have a look at the door."
Gu Yunyao thought about it, the people who had heard of selling themselves into slavery before were nothing more than beautiful women, dressed in pretty white clothes, looking to sell themselves to the master.
This kind of drama made her eager to try it out to see what kind of beauty she was.
Before reaching the door of the house, I heard a loud voice shouting: "Well, please buy this girl! She has a lot of strength, she can do anything, she can chop wood, she can carry water..."
Gu Yunyao paused and looked at each other.
The boss lowered his head and walked a few steps quickly.
There were three people standing outside the door, two men and one woman.
The man who was talking was tall and thick, like half an iron tower. He was wearing coarse clothes, his chest was half-length, and he was not afraid of the cold.
He has a beard like a steel needle on his face, and his bronze skin stands out. He is a naive man.
Standing next to him was a woman with a big body and a round waist. Her dress was a bit tight on her body, and the skirt could not cover her big feet.
She was still holding a handkerchief in her hand and was wiping her tears. Her hair was not combed very well, and there were a few pink velvet flowers stuck in her hair.
When the big boss saw her in this outfit, he felt a breath welling up from his heart, blocking his throat, and then rolled up in his head, almost fainting.
The three people at the foot of the steps saw her, their eyes brightened slightly.
