In the dead of night, the streets are empty.
The sound of horseshoes and wheels echoed in the empty street, making it particularly eerie.
The yamen servant recovered from his doze, and watched the carriage stop wonderingly. Gu Xiaojia jumped out of the carriage and walked up the steps, "I want to see Mr. Tao."
The yamen servant said: "Master Tao is not here."
Gu Xiaojia frowned. Could it be that they missed it on the way
The yamen servant said: "There is a hole in the roof of the county yamen, my lord went to transport it to the inn to stay."
"Yunlai inn?" Gu Xiaojia was displeased, and said to himself: Could it be that he felt wronged by living in Gu's mansion
He returned to the carriage and conveyed the words one by one.
Gu She said lightly: "Go to Yunlai Inn."
It seems that the son is on the bar. Gu Xiaojia gleefully jumped into the carriage, turned the rein, and drove towards the Yunlai Inn.
Yunlai Inn is also considered a big inn in Tanyang County. The flagpole is inserted obliquely from the second floor, and the four characters of Yunlai Inn flutter in the wind.
Gu Xiaojia stopped the carriage, jumped down and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, there was a faint sound of cursing upstairs.
Gu Xiaojia ignored it and continued to knock.
The store clerk finally came out in a hurry, bent over and opened the door, he was taken aback when he saw him, and subconsciously put on his signature smile, "Master Gu, what brought you here?"
"Yin wind." Gu Xiaojia stuck out his tongue.
The store clerk shivered, and said with a dry smile, "I'm just joking. Are you going to the inn or are you eating?"
Gu Xiaojia said: "Neither, find someone. Invite Mr. Tao out."
The shop assistant's smile froze, and his eyes looked straight in the direction of the shopkeeper.
In fact, the shopkeeper came out just now, and was standing by the door watching, seeing that Gu Xiaojia and the shop assistants were looking at him together, so it was better not to stay still, so he hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic smile, "It's getting late at night, Master Tao!" They must all go to bed..."
Seeing that Gu She hadn't moved, Gu Xiaojia became bolder and shouted, "It's urgent."
Neither side of the shopkeeper dared to offend, and he was not sure how urgent the matter was, so he said: "Why don't you ask Master Gu to wait here for a while, I'll go up and ask."
Gu Xiaojia waved his hand.
The shopkeeper turned his head and left.
Gu Xiaojia was looking for a place to sit down when he saw Gu She enter the door and followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
The shop assistant was taken aback. He thought Gu Xiaojia was the only one who came, but he didn't want Gu She to come in person. He wanted to stop him, but he didn't have the guts, so he followed him around and said, "Gu, Mr. Gu, why did you come in person? Let me know if you have something to do." that is."
The shopkeeper was not walking fast at first, but when he heard the voice behind him, he immediately turned around and was surprised when he saw Gu She, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Gu, you..."
Gu She asked, "Which one?"
The shopkeeper hesitated, then turned to lead the way.
The so-called iron-clad soldiers. In Tanyang County, the litigator is the barracks, and the county magistrate is the soldier. He would rather offend the county magistrate than the litigator. Anyway, if he really offended the county magistrate, he could find a lawyer to help him out. If you offend the lawyer...
He stopped in front of the penultimate door on the right, and turned to look at Gu She.
Gu She nodded.
The shopkeeper raised his hand to knock on the door, but the door of the last room opened with a creak, and Lao Tao came out, knowingly asking, "Why did Mr. Gu visit the place late at night?"
Gu She said: "Ask the crime."
Lao Tao frowned, "What crime?"
Gu She said: "Break your faith."
Old Tao said: "Oh? Has Mr. Gu handed over the paper?"
Gu She stared.
Gu Xiaojia, who was standing behind him, couldn't stand it any longer, and rushed out and said, "The one who broke his promise is your county magistrate, what pleading paper are you still handing over?"
Old Tao said: "The prince violated the law and common people are equally guilty. If Mr. Gu thinks my young master is guilty, you can also sue him, there is nothing wrong with it."
Gu Xiaojia frowned and said, "Are you really Tao Mo's old servant? Why do I look at you as his enemy? I wish he would be prosecuted for committing crimes."
Old Tao said: "I believe that my young master is an honest and fair official, and will never bend the law for personal gain. He is open-minded, so naturally he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."
"What the hell is knocking on the door?!" Gu Xiaojia was furious, "What do you mean?!"
Lao Tao also seemed to realize that his words were too rushed, so he slowed down, and said with a smile: "It's a slip of the tongue. I'm just surprised that Young Master Gu, who works under Mr. Yichui, would come to visit the inn in the middle of the night."
Gu She raised his hand to knock on the door, but Lao Tao stopped him in a low voice, "Young Master Gu!"
Gu Saoshou paused in mid-air, turned to look at him, "Are you always right?"
Lao Tao was taken aback.
Gu She's hand has already knocked down.
The knock on the door was muffled.
There was no movement in the room.
Gu She frowned slightly, "What happened to him?"
Gu Xiaojia and the shopkeeper were surprised at the same time.
The shopkeeper was so surprised that if the county magistrate had an accident in his inn, he would have to bear the blame.
Old Tao said: "Master is tired, let's rest first."
Gu She asked again, "What happened to him?"
Old Tao looked at him. Gu She doesn't know martial arts, there is no doubt about it. Whether it is Gu She from Tanyang County or Gu Xianzhi, who is well-known all over the world, they are all famous for their literary talent and eloquence. But at this moment, he actually gave him a sense of oppression that a master can only have.
"I ordered his sleeping hole." Old Tao said in a deep voice.
Gu Xiaojia said: "You can't really be his enemy, you have been lurking by his side for a long time, are you going to find an opportunity to attack him?"
Lao Tao ignored him, and said to Gu She, "If you have anything to say, you might as well talk about it tomorrow."
Gu She stared at him fixedly.
The atmosphere was deadlocked.
There was a thin layer of sweat on the shopkeeper's forehead.
"Prepare a room." Gu She finally spoke.
The shopkeeper suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, wait a moment."
Gu Xiaojia whispered next to Gu She: "Master, do you really want to live here?" No matter how luxuriously furnished the upper rooms of the inn are, they still can't hide the atmosphere of the guests coming and going.
Gu She said: "Bring up the things in the carriage."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gu Xiaojia had no choice but to follow through.
The shopkeeper followed Gu Xiaojia tossing and tossing until midnight.
Nothing to say all night.
In the early morning, the dawn is covered with gold in white.
Tao Mo opened his eyes, feeling light-headed for a while. I don't remember when I fell asleep yesterday, I just remember getting into the carriage, lowering my head and falling asleep. He sat up, surprised by the unfamiliar environment around him, and quickly put on his clothes.
Hao Guozi slept in the outer room, with his mouth open, and there were traces of saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Tao Mo turned around, dressed neatly, and pushed the door out.
The slender corridor made him quickly realize that this was an inn.
The door next to him opened, and Lao Tao came out and said, "Young Master, are you awake?"
When Tao Mo saw him, he was sure, "Why are we here?"
Old Tao said: "The roof of the county government office was broken, and the young master was sleepy, so I took my own initiative and brought the young master to the inn."
Tao Mo remembered the agreement with Gu She, and said in shock: "Oops."
Old Tao said: "What?"
"I forgot the agreement with Gu She." He thought, and hurried back to the room to wake Hao Guozi up.
Hao Guozi also felt a little headache when she woke up. After rubbing her eyes for a long time, she said in a daze, "Master, are you awake?"
Tao Mo said: "Let's get up and go to Gu's residence."
"Oh." Hao Guozi was not fully awake yet, but subconsciously sat up and put on his clothes.
Old Tao said: "Young Master Gu is at the inn."
Tao Mo, who was about to take the basin to fetch water by himself, was startled, and said in surprise, "What did you say?"
Old Tao repeated: "Mr. Gu came to the inn last night, but the young master was too sleepy and didn't wake up."
Tao Mo turned around, wiped his eyes in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, and then asked, "Which room does he live in?"
Old Tao frowned disapprovingly and said, "Young master is going to see him like this?"
"I'm afraid I'll meet you on the way." Tao Mo whispered.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
Gu Xiaojia stood outside the open door, reached out and knocked on the door panel and said, "Master Tao?"
It was rare to hear Gu Xiaojia call him Mr. Tao so seriously, Tao Mo panicked and asked, "Has your son woke up?"
Gu Xiaojia glanced at Lao Tao, as if he was surprised that he didn't hide what happened last night, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hide it. "My son invites Master Tao to go downstairs to have breakfast together."
"Okay, okay." Tao Molian said three good words, "I'll go down in a while."
Gu Xiaojia glared at Hao Guozi, who was standing aside, before turning around and leaving.
Hao Guozi was stared inexplicably, "Why is he staring at me?"
After thinking about it for a while, Lao Tao understood the reason. It must be that Gu Xiaojia didn't know that Hao Guozi was also pressed to sleep last night, so he thought he was hiding in the room and deliberately didn't open the door
Tao Mo stuffed the basin into Hao Guozi's hand, pushed him outside, and urged, "Hurry up."
