Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

He Le agreed. He may not understand these things, but the butler he brought with him would understand them. As a prince, he had bought his own property in Liuli Town in the past few years, and the old butler was in charge of the management of the property.

The troops were divided into two groups. He Le drafted a new contract, while Gu Yue hurried back with his men to make the next plan.

"We will continue to sell braised food as usual." Gu Yue said.

"Why? This thing is not..." Wu Feng asked. Several secret guards already knew the information they got from going out.

"We don't know if there are spies in secret." Gu Xu explained, "If we go to Hefu and suddenly stop selling braised food, it will easily alert the enemy."

"I understand." Wu Feng nodded.

He Gui said, "Then we will prepare the meat as usual. Boss, don't worry about going to Sushui County. I will take care of the business here."

Gu Yue nodded with relief. If the fried chicken business didn't open soon, it would be completely unpopular. Fortunately, he had arranged a meeting with the chicken farm manager, and the new oil and seasonings were already in place. This batch of chicken could be put into production immediately after it arrived. With He Gui taking the lead and Lu Junmei's family guiding, it might take some practice, but the good thing was that Gu Yue didn't have to do it himself.

He can free up his hands to do more important things, and will not be hindered by labor and thinking, so as to easily fall into the trap of King Yin.

The Gu family pretended nothing had happened and continued to be busy as usual until the evening.

When night fell, He Le pretended to send money, but actually sent someone to deliver a new contract along with it.

A letter was attached, which basically said that the five hundred taels of silver were his apology and gratitude, and asked Gu Yue to accept it. In addition, the contract at that time also had the official seal with the time, asking them not to forget to stamp it on the new contract. The seal was usually kept in the county government office.

The new contract was specially made to look old, as if it had been stored for several months. Hele changed the above contract, changing the operation of braised food to a commission relationship, and the actual beneficiary was the He family. It also added a statement with obscure but effective terms, taking all the responsibilities under the name of Hele.

"He's taking on too much? Isn't he afraid of bringing trouble upon himself?" Gu Yue didn't understand.

Gu Xu said: "He is a prince, and he has nothing to do with us. King Yin will not easily use this thing to make a fuss, and the affairs within the royal family will not be too ugly."

"So that's how it is." Gu Yue understood.

After receiving the new contract, they set out immediately under the cover of night.

They sneaked out of the town, mounted the horses that had been prepared long ago, and the family of three galloped along the country road towards Sushui County.

……

It was already midnight when they arrived at Sushui County. They hid their horses in a forest some distance away from Sushui County and walked into the county town.

"We don't know much about the layout of the county government, but we don't have time to investigate." Gu Yue recalled, "When I saw Qin Zhaoyue's excitement, I roughly knew that the part at the entrance was the court. According to He Le, the place where the seal was stamped was at the corner door of the side wing. The row of houses in the backyard was probably the residence of the government officials."

"You guys should investigate carefully according to this outline, but safety and secrecy should still be the priority." Gu Yue instructed, especially shaking Gu Xu's hand.

It was long past curfew, and the street was deserted. The lights in most houses had been extinguished, and the entire street was lit by moonlight.

Carefully avoiding patrolling yamen runners and night watchmen, Gu Yue and his companions reached the vicinity of the county government office.

Having experienced several unsuccessful infiltrations before, Gu Yue wisely did not follow them in this time. Instead, he hid behind a chinaberry tree at the entrance of a narrow alley and waited.

Leave it to the protagonist!

It was just that Shi San insisted on staying with him, and Gu Yue had no objection. It was indeed dangerous for him to be alone.

Gu Xu and Wu Feng and Wu Yun entered the county government office.

Without Gu Yue's burden, all actions became swifter. Wu Feng and Wu Yun felt the most obvious change. Gu Xu's aura suddenly became cold and solemn, without any edge and obedience as when he followed Gu Yue. He fell lightly from the top of the wall without making any sound.

"This is the backyard. Let's go to the front and take a look first." Gu Xu said.

Wufeng and Wuyun nodded, and the three of them moved quickly along the shadow of the wall and left the backyard before the patrolling yamen runners arrived.

Just by looking at the layout of the patrol officers, Gu Xu determined that the building on the side of the front yard was the silver vault. The guards here were extremely strict, with three people on each post and bright lights on. It was very dangerous to get close.

Gu Xu did not approach rashly, but changed to another corridor. This side was close to the county magistrate's residence. The lights were off inside, and there were two lazy yamen runners dozing at the door.

Gu Xu pondered for a moment and gestured to Wu Feng. Wu Feng nodded, ducked into the shadows, and moved towards the county magistrate's yard.

Gu Xu and Wu Yun then moved towards the main courtyard.

When we got to the front, the guards became more sparse. There was nothing to steal in the court, and there were only two guards standing there bored. But the location was good, facing the entire front yard, which was in full view. No matter where we went, we would be discovered.

Gu Xu gestured again and Wu Yun nodded.

The two men quietly sneaked into the hall through the half-open window and approached the two yamen runners from behind.

Almost at the same time, two muffled thuds were heard, and the bailiff fell to the ground.

Gu Xu dragged everyone together and made them look like they were taking a nap.

Because the view here was very good, there were no guards in the entire front yard. The guards at the door could be ignored, and Gu Xu and the others easily sneaked into the small room where the county government was doing business.

After closing the door, Wu Yun took out a luminous stone and held it in his mouth. The light was so weak that the writing could be seen clearly, but it would not be noticed by outsiders.

Fortunately, the county government's seal for signing contracts was right on the table.

Behind the table was a chest of drawers, but they were all locked.

Gu Xu looked at Wu Yun, who shook his head and gestured to wait for Wu Feng.

The two of them crouched in the house, paying attention to the movements outside. Less than a cup of tea later, Wu Feng landed lightly under the shadow of the main hall wall, holding something in one hand.

Gu Xu pursed his lips and let out a faint whistle.

Soon, Wu Feng sneaked into the room. With the light from the luminous stone, he was holding a bunch of keys.

The three of them didn't show any surprise at this tacit understanding.

Wu Feng handed the key to Gu Xu and whispered, "I didn't find anything in the county magistrate's courtyard. Here?"

Wu Yun said: "The contract may be in these drawers."

Gu Xu glanced at the key. Wu Feng had tied it tightly to prevent it from making any noise. Gu Xu compared the copper locks on the treasure chest, selected a few that matched in size, and tried them one by one.

The drawers opened one after another, revealing stacks of papers inside.

Wuyun watched, while Wufeng and Gu Xu checked the papers together.

"This is the house deed, and this one is the person's deed." Wu Feng said. He put the ones that did not match the target back as they were, and then carefully locked the drawer.

The drawer at the bottom was opened, and on the top layer was a sales contract. The seal date was yesterday.

"Here. Look for the one from the 17th of last month." Gu Xu handed the stack of things to Wu Feng.

He turned around and looked for the seal used to mark the date in the room.
