The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 855
Rong Mian winked at Ming Mo and said suggestively.

Their voices were not low, and Gu Chengyu thought that this person would do things first and was very clever.

She also knew that she came to him in the name of giving supper, although it might be to please him and get an antidote.

And Rong Mian's words just now made Gu Chengyu look at him with admiration, which reminded them that Yi Lanwen was not so obedient, and he might have other plans.

Otherwise, Yi Lanwen didn't need to send someone to guard the ancestral hall, maybe it was to catch the man he sent so that he could claim credit in front of Yi Lanshan.

"Oh! Thank you little brother for your reminder. Since it's not peaceful tonight, you should avoid walking around the mansion."

Ming Mo took out two liang of silver from his sleeve and put it on Rong Mian's tray, then closed the door again.

As soon as Ming Mo turned his head, he found Lu Chen standing behind him, looking at the closed door.

His heart skipped a beat, thinking that Lu Chen had discovered something.

Ming Mo shifted his gaze to his master, Gu Chengyu smiled and did not give Ming Mo any hint, which made Ming Mo secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Lu Chen listened to the conversation between the two just now, and saw Ming Mo give the boy two taels of silver, so he dispelled the doubts in his heart.

Rong Mian took the tray and left with a sad face.

"There's such a big commotion in Yi's house, it's unreasonable for us to stay in the room. It's a bit suspicious, so it's better to take the initiative to go out and ask."

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, but he didn't know what this prefect Liao meant, he still had to go out for a meeting.

Especially that Qu Huaiwen, who still has half a treasure map in his hand, he has to think of a way to build a relationship with Qufu.

"Master Lu, do you know who owns the treasure map that was originally in Yifu? We can't come to Yifu for nothing this time, we still have to find a way to chase the treasure map!"

Gu Chengyu straightened his clothes, looking at Lu Chen's calm eyes.

Lu Chen felt that Gu Chengyu seemed a little more unfamiliar than before. Could it be that Gu Chengyu had already seen through his lies?

"I don't know, a lot of people came tonight, all masked men in black, how do I know which group of people got it?"

Lu Chen sighed helplessly, his brows furrowed, as if he was having a headache over this matter.

Gu Chengyu touched his nose, this Lu Chen really regarded others as fools.

However, Lu Chen is determined that he has nothing to do with him. In Lu Chen's eyes, he is just a feeble scholar with no power to restrain himself. With Ming Mo and the others' kung fu, they can't help him. Naturally, he won't put himself in the eye inside.

Besides, I don't have any evidence, so how can I say that Lu Chen stole the treasure map?

Gu Chengyu felt a little regretful, if he knew where Qu's hidden the treasure map, why would he need to waste his time?
Go directly to steal the treasure map and return to Beijing earlier to settle the matter.You can get promoted as soon as possible and live a happy life.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, since he didn't know, he could only go deep into the tiger's den.

"Let's go! Let's go and see Patriarch Yi. Tonight, Yi's mansion was flooded and was attacked at night. It seems that the loss is not small. We need to comfort him no matter what?"

Gu Chengyu took the lead and walked in front, and did not ask Lu Chen if he would go or not.

As long as Lu Chen is not a fool, he will definitely follow behind. Now is a good time to prove that he has nothing to do with this matter!
Gu Chengyu walked unimpeded all the way to the outside of the inner study. On the way, he found that there were many guards in the Yi Mansion, and the clothes of those guards were different from the Yi Mansion.

These people should have been sent by the Qu Mansion. Unexpectedly, the Wu Mansion and Liao Zhifu had formed an alliance. Could it be that Liao Zhifu had already joined Xia Qing's sect?

"Stop, who's in front?"

At this moment, Yi Mansion was in chaos, and it was the guards of Qu Mansion who called to stop Gu Chengyu and the others.

Gu Chengyu turned around, frowned and looked at the caller.

"Blind your dog eyes, this is Mr. Gu, the imperial envoy sent by the emperor! What are you, you dare to speak rudely to him?"

Ming Yan took a step forward and scolded them.

These few people naturally heard that there is an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court living in the Yi Mansion, but the imperial envoy sent by the emperor is so young?

It doesn't look real at first glance, maybe it's the person who snatched the treasure map before.You changed your clothes and thought they wouldn't be able to tell?

When these people saw Ming Mo and the others holding daggers in their hands, they became more and more sure of their thoughts.

"Hmph! You say you are imperial envoys, who are you fooling! Tell me, what is the purpose of you pretending to be imperial envoys? Are you the thieves who robbed the treasures of Yifu?"

One of them took a step, quickly pulled out the sword in his hand, pointed at Gu Chengyu and the others, and said sneeringly.

Seeing this, several other people quickly drew their swords to help.

I thought Gu Chengyu and the others would be frightened, or if they were thieves, they would fight back.

Who would have thought that Gu Chengyu didn't answer or make a move, but looked behind those people.

"Patriarch Qu is really majestic!" Gu Chengyu raised the corners of his lips, revealing a touch of sarcasm.

"Patriarch Yi, I don't know that this wonderful Yi's mansion has turned into Qu's mansion. Could it be that my eyesight is already dim, and when I visited the door, I didn't see clearly whether it was Yi's mansion or Qu's mansion that was written on the plaque. What about the government?"

Gu Chengyu's gaze fell on Yi Lanshan who was rushing over from the other side, and only said a word to Qu Huaiyun, then ignored him.

Yi Lanshan's face was livid, and it was a shame for him to be let in by the Qu family.

He was already burning with anger, but at this moment Gu Chengyu actually sprinkled salt on his wound, which made him even more angry.

"This is Mr. Gu sent by the imperial court, right? I don't know that Mr. Gu is a guest in Yi's house today. It's really abrupt!"

Qu Huaiwen is in a good mood at the moment. Although he hasn't got the treasure map yet, seeing how the Yi Mansion has become so smoky, his mood is indescribably refreshing.

"The old man has met the imperial envoy! The guards at the mansion are also looking for the person who attacked Yi's house tonight. They are afraid that someone will disguise themselves and try to get away with it. Besides, these are rough people who don't know the rules. Please forgive me!"

Qu Huaiyun bowed to Gu Chengyu, then turned around and reprimanded the guards: "You bastard! This is the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, you really have no eyes, why don't you plead guilty to your lord?"

Qu Huaiyun yelled extremely loudly, but Gu Chengyu didn't hear much blame from his tone, that voice was simply careless.

Gu Chengyu's heart sank, Yi Lanshan was a person who wanted face, so when Gu Chengyu dealt with him, as long as he was ashamed, Yi Lanshan would have nothing to do with him.

But this Qu Huaiyun looked like a naughty one, maybe even thicker than himself, probably more difficult to deal with than Yi Lanshan.

"The little ones don't know gold and jade, and they mistake adults for thieves. They deserve to die. Please also see that the little ones are just rough people. Forgive me!"
