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

Chapter 992

"The small shop has rabbit meat, braised hoof and donkey meat in soy sauce today. Would you like some from the three guests?"

Xiaoer first met the first person, who was not very old, but was dressed luxuriously.The three of them looked like masters and servants, so he asked Gu Chengyu directly.

Xiao Er secretly took a look at the clothes of the three of them, thinking in his heart that these three should be the ones who are not short of money.

The master was full of noble air, and his gestures and gestures were extraordinary.Maybe they had been traveling all night, but the faces of the two people behind were slightly tired.

But the young man in front of him still looked so handsome, and he didn't see any embarrassment at all.

Xiao Er is well-informed and thinks that these three people should be masters and servants of a big family, so he strongly recommends a few more expensive cooked food in the small shop.

Gu Chengyu took the first look at the teahouse, and saw that there was only one table inside.

There were two people sitting at this table, one of whom was a rough-looking man.This person is very burly, tall and big, giving people a full sense of oppression.

There was a big knife on his left hand. Although the knife was still in the scabbard, Gu Chengyu could already feel its sharpness.

But what attracted Gu Chengyu's attention was not the sword, but the hand on it. This person is left-handed!
The man looked up at Gu Chengyu, and lightly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife.Gu Chengyu looked into that person's eyes, only feeling that the other person's eyes were sharp and sharp.

Gu Chengyu didn't speak, he looked at this person without changing his expression.

The eyes of the two seemed to have fought countless times invisibly, and Gu Chengyu showed no sign of weakness, but now he could already feel that the muscles of this person's whole body were tense, and his left hand was about to move.

Brushing his waist with his hand, Gu Chengyu planned to draw out the soft sword at his waist to strike first.

"Cough!" Suddenly, a cough sounded, Gu Chengyu ignored it, but stared at the rough man's reaction.

However, Gu Chengyu suddenly noticed that the other party's hand had moved away, picked up the chopsticks again, and reached for the big bowl of meat in front of him.

Ming Mo and Ming Yan had just tied up their horses when they suddenly felt that something was wrong.They immediately stood behind Gu Chengyu, and also looked at the two people on the opposite table.

Gu Chengyu saw that the other party had vented all his aura, so he knew that he didn't plan to make a move.He removed the hand on his waist, and then looked at the person who was coughing just now.

This person is a thin old man sitting opposite the rough man, with his back to Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu can only see the other person's pale hair and slightly arched back, this old man is a bit hunchbacked.

Look at the dress of the two, they look like people from the Jianghu, so it should have nothing to do with them, but Gu Chengyu dare not take it lightly.

The man's murderous aura just now was not fake, although it was fleeting.But Gu Chengyu is so sensitive, he has already caught it.

Gu Chengyu was sure he didn't know these two people, why did they want to kill him?
Is it just because he looked at each other a few more times?That's not enough, is it?

Gu Chengyu walked to a table first and sat down. Ming Mo and Ming Yan saw that there was nothing unusual, so they yelled for Xiao Er to bring up the cooked food quickly.

Anyway, I still have to pack, and I have to eat and drink on the road, so I simply ordered all the meat and vegetables.

Gu Chengyu also followed them. After all, he was a young man, so he was so hungry that he didn't eat a meal.Riding on horseback is a physical effort, so of course you have to eat well.

Indicate to both of them to sit down, and there is no need to be particular about going out.

Gu Chengyu continued to observe the two people on that table, the cough seemed to be a warning.

Why did that man kill himself?It's impossible for a stranger who just met to kill someone for no reason, right?And why did the old man stop the other party?
Gu Chengyu thought about it, when he was in the capital, he didn't offend anyone, could it be those tea merchants?

He shook his head. It has been more than two years since the tea tax issue. Those tea merchants have already adapted to the new tea tax system, so there is no need to be serious about it now.

Besides, he is an official appointed by the imperial court, so tea merchants still have some scruples.

Then the rest may only be related to his purpose of going to Jiangnan this time. He summed up three possibilities.

The first may be that some people don't want him to go to Jiangnan, because they are afraid that he will take the credit of others.

The second may be that there is a problem with the dam in the south of the Yangtze River. He will go to the south of the Yangtze River as an imperial envoy and will definitely investigate the dam in detail.

This person was afraid that things would be revealed and he would be implicated, so he wanted to kill him first on his way to Jiangnan.

The third is the distortion of human nature, which may be due to jealousy and deep fear.Because he has been promoted to three ranks in a row, he has already threatened the status of some people in the DPRK.

For example, Tao Junyan, the former You Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was transferred to Dali Temple himself, but he pushed the other party away. It is normal for him to feel resentful.

Of course, the above are just his guesses, after all, the man hasn't done anything yet.

It only took Gu Chengyi a few breaths to think about this, Ming Mo and the others filled the water bag first, then scalded the bowls and chopsticks for Gu Chengyu, refilled the tea by the way, and then sat down and waited for the food to be served.

The man turned his eyes around Gu Chengyu's table again, and then looked at the old man opposite.

The old man picked up the teacup and didn't speak, let alone respond.

"Guest officer! The sauced rabbit meat you want is here, and this dish is ready, guest officer, please use it slowly!"

Xiao Er put a plate of sauced rabbit meat on the table, and said a few polite words.Gu Chengyu listened intently, but did not hear any response from the two of them.

Before the food on Gu Chengyu's table was served, he faintly heard the sound of horseshoes.

Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly looked at the reactions of the two men.He only looked away when he saw the old man's ears move slightly and the man across from him put his hand on the handle of the knife again.

It seems that the old man has long known that someone is coming, his ears are extremely sensitive to sound.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party has profound internal skills, just like Gu Chengyu.

But Gu Chengyu had scanned the other party just now, and did not find any internal force in the other party's body.

Unless the opponent's internal strength is higher than him, or he has practiced some hidden skills.

The sound of horseshoes from far to near, like a drum, appeared in front of Gu Chengyu and the others in the blink of an eye.

The shopkeeper who was cooking saw someone coming again, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Go and see what these guest officials want to eat."

Gu Chengyu, Ming Mo and the others turned their heads to look, and found that there were four people in total, dressed like passing businessmen.

One of them should be the leader. This person handed the rein to Xiao Er, and then called the three behind him to come to the teahouse.

As soon as this person entered the teahouse, he quickly looked around when he saw that there were people at the two tables.

Gu Chengyu and the others were the closest. This person first scanned Gu Chengyu's face twice, then sized up Mingmo and the others, and finally turned his gaze to the table.
