Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language
Chapter 243: Pull her into the water
Of course, Gu Chan thought about it but didn't say much.
After all, she had just met Zi Yue and didn't know her very well, so there was no need for her to say too much.
After the deal was settled, Gu Chan stood up and said, "It's settled then. If you're free tomorrow, you can go to the tailor shop in the center of the commercial street to find my fiancée and talk to her about how to use this thing."
"Okay, I'll go find her tomorrow." Zi Yue nodded.
"Then Miss Ziyue, I'll be leaving first. See you next time." Gu Chan saluted politely with his fists clasped.
Zi Yue stood up, bowed, and walked them to the door.
After Gu Chan and the other person left, she continued to receive the guests waiting downstairs and put the matter aside for the time being.
Half an hour later, Gu Chan and the other person returned to the tailoring shop.
As soon as they came back, Ding Meihua pouted at Gu Chan and whispered, "Go and comfort her!"
"Ah?" Gu Chan was puzzled.
She turned her head to look at Ouyang Wan'er who was sitting in the corner, and walked over with a confused look on her face.
Walking to Ouyang Wan'er, Gu Chan looked down and found that the girl's eyes were red, as if she had just cried!
Gu Chan asked with a distressed look on her face, "What's wrong with you? Who offended you? Tell me quickly and I'll help you teach him a lesson."
"It's okay." Ouyang Wan'er said coldly.
Without waiting for Gu Chan to speak, she said, "I'm not feeling well. I'm going back to the clinic to rest."
After saying that, she got up and left, not wanting to pay any attention to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan stared at Ding Meihua and asked, "What happened to her?"
"How dare you say that? Did you go shopping in Qingpu just now?" Ding Meihua said unhappily.
"Oh, so that's how it is! You misunderstood, I..." Gu Chan was about to explain, but before she could finish her words, two officers suddenly rushed in from outside the shop.
Ding Meihua and the four old ladies were stunned, thinking that Gu Chan had caused trouble again, which led to the police coming to arrest him.
Gu Chan looked confused and asked, "Two officers, what can I do for you?"
"Manager Gu, please come with us to the yamen. The county magistrate has something to ask you." said the tall officer.
"What happened?" Gu Chan asked.
The tall officer did not hide anything and said directly, "The emperor's decree has come down. Someone must be held accountable for the loss of the border. The former border county magistrate Ding Sheng is primarily responsible. He will be tried today and beheaded tomorrow."
"Then what does this have to do with me?" Gu Chan said dumbfounded.
She didn't understand who was going to be blamed for the border loss. She had heard about it in the Central Plains camp before, but she had never asked Xue Lihua who was going to take the blame.
However, she had figured it out long ago. Long Zhen and Wang Feihu were both dead, and the Tiger Army soldiers still had to go to the battlefield to fight. The emperor would definitely not blame them, so the blame naturally fell on the county magistrate Ding Sheng.
But Ding Sheng taking the blame has nothing to do with her?
Zheng Shixian, the county magistrate of Zhongyuan City, actually sent officials to find her. Was he trying to take revenge on her and deliberately frame her?
The tall officer continued, "Don't worry, Manager Gu. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that Ding Sheng said that he needs you to go over and plead for him. If you can go over, his head will definitely be saved."
"What's the logic? How can I be that awesome? He's talking nonsense!" Gu Chan spread her hands and said helplessly.
The two officers stared at her blankly and also found this very funny.
At this time, Ma Zheng was the first to react. He quickly pulled Gu Chan aside and whispered, "Boss, have you forgotten that the man in black gave you a token in the wasteland before? Didn't you show it to Fatty Ding? You also said that you were from Tianji Pavilion!"
"Oh my! I really forgot about this. Damn it, Fatty Ding is selling me out! Damn it!" Gu Chan was stunned at first, but after she realized what was happening, she started cursing on the spot.
It has been so long, and if no one said anything about the Tianji Pavilion token matter, it would probably just pass by like that, and maybe no one would come to investigate her in the future.
Now, Fatty Ding has reported the matter to the county government in Zhongyuan City, but Zheng Shixian just doesn't like her. What if that corrupt official really reports the matter to the court, and the emperor sends people from the Tianji Pavilion to investigate her? That would be the end of her!
"Oh my god! What should I do now? If things go wrong this time, I'll be doomed!" Gu Chan muttered anxiously in her heart.
The tall officer urged, "Manager Gu, please come in! We don't have time to wait for you here."
"Then, come with me to the clinic. I'll go back to get some things and leave with you right away." Gu Chan suppressed her anxiety and pretended to be calm.
"That's fine." The tall officer agreed.
Then both parties left the tailor shop without further ado and returned to the clinic.
Ding Meihua pulled Ma Zheng and asked, "Why did that damn Fatty Ding let us, the shopkeeper, go there?"
"Grandma, don't ask anymore. Just run the tailor shop well. I'll go to the clinic with you too." Ma Zheng replied casually and immediately ran out quickly.
After a while, the four returned to the clinic.
After Gu Chan came back, she went straight to the room on the fourth floor and started searching in the closet.
At this time, Ouyang Wan'er was still lying on the bed sulking, thinking that Gu Chan had come back to comfort her. She was still curled up in the quilt and said angrily, "Why did you come back?"
"I don't have time to explain to you. Remember, when I'm not around, the clinic and the tailor shop will be handed over to you and Manager Zhou. You have to take good care of everyone." Gu Chan said as she looked for someone.
Ouyang Wan'er frowned when she heard this and quickly stood up from the bed.
Gu Chan found the black token of Tianji Pavilion and ran out quickly.
"Something happened!" Ouyang Wan'er said anxiously, and quickly got out of bed and chased downstairs.
By the time she arrived at the lobby downstairs, Gu Chan had already mounted her horse and galloped away with two officers.
Ouyang Wan'er quickly pulled Ma Zheng and asked, "What happened?"
"That bastard Fatty Ding is trying to trick our boss! The emperor wants to chop off his head for losing the border, but he said that if we ask the boss to go and plead for him, the emperor might let him go. So Zheng Shixian has sent officials to find the boss." Ma Zheng said angrily.
"Zheng Shixian also dislikes my husband! What if something happens when he is gone?" Ouyang Wan'er's face turned pale with anxiety.
Everyone in the clinic became extremely worried.
Ma Zheng changed the subject and said, "By the way, just now in the tailor shop, were you angry with the boss?"
"Didn't he take you to Qingpu to find Miss Ziyue? What's wrong with me being angry?" Ouyang Wan'er said unhappily.
"You misunderstood. The boss took me to do business with Miss Ziyue and asked her to help promote menstrual napkins. After we finished talking about this, we left." Ma Zheng explained.
Ouyang Wan'er was stunned when she heard this. Only then did she understand that Gu Chan went to Qingpu to help her promote menstrual napkins. It turned out that she had misunderstood Gu Chan!
