The protagonists have golden fingers
Chapter 37--
When Zhao Xiaodao was led into Jiuyan Building, someone was in the study, staring at the paper on the table in a daze.
Perhaps it was because the expression on his face was too serious, so when the butler came in, he also carefully lowered his voice, for fear of offending his master: "Lord, Young Master Zhao is here."
Gu Zhuangcheng came back to his senses, blinked his eyes blankly, and it took a while to realize: "Where is the person?"
"Waiting in the living room." The housekeeper said.
Gu Zhuangcheng nodded, packed up the things on the table, and handed them to the butler: "Find someone to pack it up, and bring it with me when I go out tomorrow."
"Yes." The butler bowed, lowered his head, and slowly stepped back.
Gu Zhuangcheng squeezed the space between his eyebrows, sighed softly, pulled himself together, and walked to the front hall.
Zhao Xiaodao had been sitting and waiting for half an hour, drank four or five cups of tea, and ate a lot of snacks.
When he was bored, he finally saw Gu Zhuangcheng's figure, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Gu!"
With a smile on his face, Gu Zhuangcheng calmly blocked the other person's body that was about to be hugged, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Why, is Young Master Zhao free to come to my building today as a guest?"
When Zhao Xiaodao heard this, his face immediately turned into a steamed stuffed bun: "Forget about it, Brother Gu, I'm here this time to negotiate a deal with you."
Um?Gu Zhuangcheng was a little surprised. He thought about it carefully. The information sent by his subordinates did not seem to mention that Zhao Xiaodao had any enemies?
Zhao Xiaodao didn't get an answer, and he wasn't annoyed, he babbled about everything by himself.It turned out that this incident was related to Zhao Xiaodao's third uncle.
A few months ago, Third Uncle Zhao took in a concubine. This incident was very common and not a big deal.
It's just that the newly adopted concubine is not peaceful, and every day he encourages Zhao Sanshu to divorce his wife and take a concubine, and drives the original wife out of the house.
The Zhao family almost relied on the support of Uncle Zhao, the original wife, to have their current reputation. Even if Uncle Zhao's lust does not change, he will definitely not divorce his first wife just because of a concubine!So, he flatly refused.
Unexpectedly, since then, strange things have happened in their family, and ghosts were found in the third lady's room every now and then.
After a long time, the servants in the family began to talk badly, saying that the third wife had misbehaved and angered the gods, so the punishment was sent down.
This is simply nonsense!After Uncle Zhao heard the servant's thoughts, he became furious, and directly punished the group of talkers, and the family was quiet for a few days.
Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, just half a month ago, people in their family began to die one after another.
The one who died at the beginning was a middle-aged man pouring slops. He was hardly seen on weekdays. The slops had not been cleaned up for several days. Only then did he find that this man had died in his own home.
At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, until later, when more and more people died, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong——
Whether it was the middle-aged man who died first, or the maid who died last, they all received the favor of the third lady during their lifetime.
Could it be that it was really the third lady who did something shameful that caused such a strange thing to happen?
The third lady swore swearingly, and no one in the Zhao family believed that these things had something to do with the third lady.
Zhao Xiaodao guessed vaguely in his heart, but he was not sure. In desperation, he thought of Gu Zhuangcheng who was far away in Pingliu Mansion, so he set out to ask for help.
Gu Zhuangcheng looked at him speechlessly, and began to think about what kind of illusion he had given the other party to make him give up the government and travel thousands of miles to find him.
The last time the girls in Pingliu Mansion disappeared, the group of parents had nowhere to turn, so it was fine to come to him to seek help, after all, it was their own territory, and it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the future if they didn't take good care of them.But the Zhao family is in Youyun territory, right?
"You..." Gu Zhuangcheng couldn't hold back, and interrupted Zhao Xiaodao, who kept complaining, "Then how did you come to find me? You should know that my Jiuyan Building only deals in murder .”
Zhao Xiaodao paused for a moment, with a dazed look on his face.He scratched his head blankly, and said, "I don't know either...that is, one day when I woke up, I saw a camellia flower on the head of the bed with a piece of paper under it, saying that I would come to you ..."
Gu Zhuangcheng's pupils shrank suddenly: "Camellia?"
"Yeah! Are you saying that the evil door is not evil? I locked the doors and windows when I slept. When I woke up and saw this flower that day, I thought it was some girl who knocked on my door! I checked it again. , the locks on the doors and windows are all in good condition, and there is no trace of tampering at all!" Zhao Xiaodao couldn't help shivering as he said.
Gu Zhuangcheng was not in the mood to comfort him, and hurriedly said, "Where's the camellia? Did you bring it?"
"No, no..." Zhao Xiaodao was taken aback by his expression, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what it is, I didn't dare to take it with me, I didn't dare to throw it away, so I asked someone to find a bottle Get some water and put it away.”
Gu Zhuangcheng was slightly relieved, glanced at Zhao Xiaodao who was full of fear, and sighed: "I see, you will rest here for a few days, and tomorrow... I will see someone, and then I will go with you."
Zhao Xiaodao blinked, nodded in response.
-
The next day, Gu Zhuangcheng took the things he had prepared early and ordered his servants to settle down Zhao Xiaodao safely, and don't let him run around.After getting an affirmative answer from the housekeeper, he left with confidence.
It's not that he doesn't want to solve the troubles at Zhao Xiaodao's family quickly, but he just made an appointment with Shen Yan not long ago to meet today.
In Gu Zhuangcheng's eyes, even such a major event as the sky falling could not prevent him from meeting Shen Yan, let alone Zhao Xiaodao who was not very familiar with him.
He hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the place before the appointed time.Shen Yan had already been waiting there, and when she saw him coming, she lightly raised her eyelids.
Gu Zhuangcheng sat down with a smile, and passed the cloth bag in his hand: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't find anything good. Here, you take this to relieve your boredom."
Shen Yan took it over, only to hear a jingle in the bag, presumably it was something made of gold, silver and jade.
He curled his lips secretly, thinking that this person is really a lump of elm, if he chases girls in the future, he will probably chase several mountains.
——It never occurred to him that Gu Zhuangcheng was so engrossed in himself that he couldn't pay any attention to other girls.
This party was proposed by Gu Zhuangcheng.Ever since Ye Fangping closed the island to live in seclusion, He Zhiyun has also returned to Tianji Mountain, and there is a vague tendency to return to hermitage.
Gu Zhuangcheng felt uneasy for some reason, he and Shen Yan hadn't confirmed their relationship yet, what if something happened to this person and he wasn't by his side, what would he do?
Therefore, he proposed to meet every half a month, and if he couldn't come due to something, he would find another time.
Shen Yan didn't care at first, but she was also curious about what this person was up to, so she half pushed and half agreed.
Every time Gu Zhuangcheng came to see him, he would bring him some gifts.Sometimes it is a precious martial arts weapon, and sometimes it is a nine-link game played by children.
Shen Yan was kind and generous, and never refused the other party's kindness. After returning home, she asked someone to clean a new room to pile up these gifts.
Only this time, Shen Yan found that Gu Zhuangcheng was a little restless.He was not very curious, and the only thing he focused on was Gu Zhuangcheng: "What happened?"
Gu Zhuangcheng pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Something happened to the Zhao family."
There are countless Zhao families in the world, but what can be said from Gu Zhuangcheng's mouth, except for the family in Youyun territory, there is no other semicolon.
Shen Yan looked at him in surprise: "The Zhao family is thousands of miles away, how did you provoke him?"
Gu Zhuangcheng smiled wryly and said: "During the Tianjie election, I once had tea drinking friendship with the young master of the Zhao family. A few days ago, something strange happened in the Zhao family. When the young master woke up, a camellia was placed by the bedside. A piece of paper was pressed under the flowers and asked him to come to me. The young master just arrived in my building yesterday."
"Camellia?" Shen Yan was also taken aback, "Is it He Ling?"
"It's not sure yet, but just in case, I'll go and have a look."
As Gu Zhuangcheng said, he frowned puzzledly, "It shouldn't be, the camellia that He Ling gave me is almost gone now, shouldn't it come to me? How could it run to Youyun?" ?”
"Then who knows?" Shen Yan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "When I made it, I never thought that one day it would be taken away by someone, and it would become what it is now. If I knew it back then, and I definitely wouldn’t keep it.”
Mentioning this, Gu Zhuangcheng was full of doubts: "Master Shen, you said that He Zhiyun asked you to leave He Ling, so why did he ask you for this puppet?"
Shen Yan thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I asked him for it at that time. You should know that I had just left the mountain at that time, and there was no one else around me except for a few like-minded friends.
At that time, I wanted to establish my own power, but I had no assets, so I had no choice but to make puppets and take them to the various fairy gates, hoping to get their help. "
It's just that for thousands of years, there are many icing on the cake, and very few give charcoal in the snow.
For those immortal cultivators whose eyes are higher than the top, it is good not to make insults and sarcasm. Who would look down on this young man in ragged clothes who speaks outrageous words?
He Zhiyun did not.
He approached Shen Yan on his own initiative, and asked He Ling to leave as soon as he exited.It was the puppet that Shen Yan brought down from Qingming Mountain, it already had its own consciousness on the mountain, and it couldn't be driven away no matter how hard it was.
Shen Yan was afraid that it would cause mischief in the future, and originally planned to destroy it, but He Zhiyun stopped it and took it away.
"Thinking about it now, Master He Shan seems to know everything that will happen in the future, so he took He Ling away, maybe?" Shen Yan sighed softly, "Tianji Mountain, what you are spying on is Tianji."
The destiny cannot be violated.This sentence is not for nothing.As the owner of Tianji Mountain, He Zhiyun knew the meaning of this sentence even more.
Gu Zhuangcheng pursed her lips, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Shen Yan's fist: "Do you want to go to Youyun with me?"
Perhaps it was because the expression on his face was too serious, so when the butler came in, he also carefully lowered his voice, for fear of offending his master: "Lord, Young Master Zhao is here."
Gu Zhuangcheng came back to his senses, blinked his eyes blankly, and it took a while to realize: "Where is the person?"
