The man shook his head and asked, "Who are you and why do you want to tie me up?"
Before they even started interrogating, this man got the upper hand.
Master!
It's a pity that he was unlucky and met Gu Qingjue and the others.
"I think you are a smart person, and smart people should not do stupid things, such as treating others like monkeys."
Fuxin raised her chin, looked away from Gu Qingjue's face, and looked away: "I don't know what you are talking about. When I came out of the inn, I felt that someone was following me. I thought it was a robbery, so I attacked you. Take action, now that you have nothing to lose, you have no right to imprison me, so let me go quickly."
"Old sir, are you working for Magistrate Qiu?"
Gu Qingjue went straight to the point without making any detours with Fu Xin. After asking, he kept staring at him.
However, Fuxin has lived for a long time, is a chamberlain, or may have been a chamberlain, and has a strong heart. You can't tell anything from his facial expression.
Gu Qingjue didn't care either.
He walked out of the courtyard with Zeng Shengji and said, "Master, please don't go to the county government office for the next two days. Please keep an eye on him."
Zeng Shengji nodded.
Gu Qingjue intervened in this matter because of his own personal reasons. There was no reason why he shouldn't do it. Besides, after discovering that this person was a chamberlain, some pictures flashed through his mind.
It was a mess, and he himself had to calm down and sort it out.
Gu Qingjue left the courtyard, not in the direction he had just taken, because he had led the servants out of the inn just now to avoid the surveillance of Capt. Xing, and now he wanted to return to the inn from the outside in a dignified manner.
The purpose is to let Mr. Xing see it.
I wonder when he left the inn and what he did when he left the inn.
Sure enough, Qiu Hong, who deliberately avoided Zeng Shengji, found that the news from Fujin did not arrive on time at the time he had agreed to deliver the news as evening approached, which made him feel uneasy.
Qiu Hong, who originally wanted to return to Mingguang County the next day, rode back to Mingguang County overnight.
There was no sign of Fu Xin in the county government office.
He immediately summoned Mr. Xing, who was monitoring the inn, and asked, "Did Gu Ziyuan do anything unusual today?"
Xing Baotou shook his head and nodded.
Qiu Hong said dissatisfied: "Is there more or not?"
"My lord, it's like this. My subordinates have been keeping an eye on the inn. It is certain that Gu Langjun did not leave the inn. However, at the end of the month, Gu Langjun returned to the inn from outside."
"Just him?"
Mr. Xing nodded: "He's the only one!"
Qiu Hong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped: "No, I remember the night before yesterday, when he came, there was a guard dressed as a book boy with him. Since he was a guard, how could he not follow Gu Ziyuan when he went out?"
"Well, I did see Gu Langjun alone return to the inn."
Qiu Hong became uneasy.
Pointing at Mr. Xing, he said, "Go to Fulai Inn now and see if Zeng Shengji is still there."
Mr. Xing looked at the still-yielding sky outside and asked, "Isn't it appropriate now?"
Qiu Hong clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
It was him who was impatient.
It's really inappropriate to call him at this time.
But he couldn't contact Fuxin now, and he felt very uneasy and didn't have much patience to wait.
If Zeng Shengji noticed something, all his hard work for many years would be ruined, and he would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Just say that I missed Sister Rong, didn't think about food and tea, and rushed back from Shiba Town overnight. My body couldn't support it anymore and I fell ill. I want to see him now."
This reason is quite reasonable.
Xing Baotou nodded and went to Fulai Inn to invite Zeng Shengji, but was informed by Gu Qingjue that Zeng Shengji had not returned all night.
"You haven't returned home all night? How can this be a good thing? I will go to the county government now and send a few officials to look for Mr. Zeng. I must not encounter any danger."
"Then Lao Xing will arrest the head."
When Xing Baotou left the Fulai Inn, he always felt strange in his heart.
Especially Magistrate Qiu's behavior these days is simply contradictory.
It is said that he and Zeng Gong were as close as brothers. As soon as they met, he handed over his daughter's murder case to his apprentices, and he asked himself to supervise them.
Based on his experience as a head catcher for so many years, Gu Langjun is definitely not an easy character to get along with, let alone a treacherous person. Mr. Zeng is still his best friend, so why should he spy on them?
While he was pacing anxiously in the room, waiting for Capt. Xing to bring Zeng Shengji, but two quarters of an hour later, when only Capt. Xing came back, the bad suspicion in his heart gradually occupied his thoughts.
"what happened?"
"My lord, Gu Langjun said that Mr. Zeng has not returned to the inn since he left yesterday morning."
When Qiu Hong heard this, his body swayed a little unsteadily.
He was actually more panicked than when he suddenly saw the body of his beloved daughter.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Qiu Hong shook his head and asked Xing Baotou to retreat. He locked himself in the study alone and recalled what he had said when Zeng Shengji got along from Zeng Shengji's appearance to now.
The night before yesterday, while talking with Zeng Shengji, Qiu Hong discovered that many of Zeng Shengji's memories were incomplete.
Especially what happened in Kyoto a year ago, it can be said that I can't remember it at all.
He had known Zeng Shengji for several years, and he was the worst at lying.
That's why Fuxin was asked to follow him.
Qiu Hong asked himself that there was no loophole.
When Zeng Shengji escaped from Kyoto, his cultivation was still at the third level of Xuanjing. Fu Xin's skills were on par with him. Even if he was discovered by Zeng Shengji, he could escape unscathed.
Then Zeng Shengji and Fu Xin disappeared almost at the same time. Is it a coincidence?
It is also possible that he encountered some great opportunity this year, his cultivation level increased greatly, and he caught Fu Xin.
If he had known this, he would not have sent Fu Xin to follow him.
The more Qiu Hong thought about it, the more confused he became.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, I casually ate a few bites of breakfast and went to Fulai Inn in person to find out the truth.
Qiu Hong, who was full of worries, came to the inn, but came to nothing.
Not only was Zeng Shengji not there, but Gu Qingjue was also not at the inn. If I asked Xing Baotou again, he didn't know when Gu Qingjue left the inn.
Qiu Hong's eyes were as wide as copper.
"Go and ask the innkeeper if there is another exit from the inn."
One of the government servants took the order and went downstairs. He quickly ran back and said, "Sir, the shopkeeper said that in addition to the inn door, there is also a side door in the kitchen for transporting ingredients."
After the yamen officer finished his report, he stood there.
Qiu Hong kicked him over and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the kitchen and ask if you saw anyone suspicious going out from the side door."
"Oh, subordinate, go and ask now."
The previous yamen officer ran downstairs again, and came back after a while to reply: "Sir, there is someone on duty in that room all day long, and they said they didn't see anyone suspicious coming out of here."
"Sir, does Gu Langjun have any kung fu?"
Qiu Hong frowned.
