Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 831 Audacious
After daybreak, Gu Chan followed Fang Tianyi and, under the escort of Guan Chengguan and others, came to the lobby in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, at the first seat in the lobby, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting on a chair drinking morning tea, looking relaxed and comfortable, as if he didn't care at all about his daughter being kidnapped by bandits.

And he is none other than Fang He, the current lord of Linzhou City.

Gu Chan stood in front of him and looked at him carefully.

This man has a fat head and big ears, and a big belly. He looks exactly like those corrupt officials in TV dramas. One look at him would make people want to beat him up.

If it were Gu Chan's previous temper, she would definitely not look kindly at such a person, but now that she is living under someone else's roof, she has to choose to endure it, even if not for herself, but for the many people affected by the disaster.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Gu Chan clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I, Gu Paner, pay my respects to the Lord City Lord."

"Are you the one who colluded with the bandits to kidnap my daughter?" Fang He said without raising his head.

Fang Tianyi quickly came up to him and said coquettishly, "Dad, you misunderstood. This girl is not a bad person. She was the one who persuaded those bandits to let me go last night, and she even personally rode a horse to escort me back!"

"You too. I told you a long time ago that at this critical moment, you should not go out and wander around, but you refused to listen. Those unruly people already have a grudge against me. If you go out in a brazen manner, you will just run into their trap." Fang He scolded.

"Dad! Isn't it safe for me to come back? Please stop scolding me." Fang Tianyi said in a delicate voice.

Fang He rolled his eyes at her, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and have a rest!"

"Thank you, Dad." Fang Tianyi said happily.

Fang He immediately ordered, "Come here, give this little girl some silver and send her away from the mansion."

"Lord City Lord, wait a minute." Gu Chan stopped him.

Before Fang He could speak, she spoke first, "Lord City Lord, many people outside Linzhou City are now displaced. I really don't understand why you don't open your warehouses to release grain to help the victims."

"Why, the bandits asked you to be a lobbyist?" Fang He asked.

"That's not the case. I just happened to meet that group of bandits. I'm just curious why the city lord didn't open the granary to release the grain." Gu Chan said.

Fang He glanced at her with disdain and said coldly, "Who do you think you are to come here and question me? Get out of here right now. I don't need to explain to you. If you dare to bother me again, I will treat you as a bandit and rebel. I will beat you with fifty sticks and throw you out."

After saying that, Fang He waved his hands angrily.

The city guard immediately came in with two soldiers, forcibly dragged Gu Chan out of the lobby, and drove her out of the city lord's mansion.

Gu Chan was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, she suppressed her anger, led her horse to a nearby street, and found an inn to stay in temporarily.

After Gu Chan was driven away, Fang Tianyi pulled Fang He and said, "Dad! There are so many people affected by the disaster this time. Why don't we release some food to comfort some of the people? Otherwise, it's not a solution to keep going like this!"

"Okay, girl, why do you always care about these trivial matters? Go back and have a rest!" Fang He sighed.

Then he got up and left, not wanting to say anything more about the matter.

Fang Tianyi shook his head helplessly and could only go back to his room to rest quietly.

Time flies, and a day goes by in the blink of an eye.

In the evening, Fang He returned home tired after a day of work. He ignored his wife and daughter and went to his study to enjoy his leisure time.

"Swoosh!" Just as he was taking a nap on the recliner in the study, a faint whooshing sound was heard. The next second, a black figure suddenly leaped in from the back window of the study and rushed behind Fang He at the speed of lightning.

"boom!"

Before Fang He even noticed this person, a bang sounded in his ear. Then he felt a sharp pain in the right side of his neck, and then he closed his eyes and passed out.

At this time, the black figure in night clothes reached out and untied the black cloth covering his face, revealing his true face.

And she was none other than Gu Chan.

Glancing at Fang He who had already fainted, Gu Chan sneered and said, "You bastard official, the common people can't even get enough food, and you still have the mood to enjoy yourself here, let me show you how I'm going to deal with you."

After saying that, Gu Chan quickly took out the rope she had prepared and tied Fang He up. Then she found a large sack, put him in it, and carried him out of the City Lord's Mansion quietly.

An hour later, Gu Chan avoided the patrolling soldiers in the city, drove a carriage and quietly sent Fang He out of the city, returning towards Gaobang Mountain.

The next morning, when the people in the City Lord's Mansion discovered that Fang He was missing, they immediately became anxious and began to impose martial law and search throughout the city. However, what no one knew was that Fang He had already been sent to Gaobang Village, to Zuo Gongming's compound, by Gu Chan.

Correspondingly, Zuo Gongming and others had no idea what Gu Chan had brought back in the carriage.

Look, everyone gathered in the yard, surrounding the carriage, puzzled.

Gu Chan got into the carriage, dragged out the big sack containing Fang He, and kicked it to the ground with a bang.

"Ouch!"

A scream immediately came from the sack.

Zuo Gongming asked in confusion, "Sister, who did you capture?"

"You'll know if you open it and take a look." Gu Chan said with a wicked smile.

Zuo Gongming immediately stepped forward, bent down, and reached out to untie the rope that tied the sack.

As soon as the rope was untied, Fang He slipped out like a fat rat.

Zuo Gongming and his companions were so frightened that they trembled and their faces turned pale. The sweat beads on their foreheads were like pearls that had broken off a string, rolling down one after another!

Fang Heze slumped to the ground and cursed, "Great! You are a bunch of unruly people, you are so bold, it's fine if you kidnapped my daughter, now you even dare to kidnap me, I usually don't bother to argue with you, but you are taking advantage of me, right?"

"Bang bang bang..."

Gu Chan rushed forward without thinking and started beating Zuo Gongming.

"Ahhh... You little bastard, you even dare to hit the city lord. You are so bold."

Fang He was beaten so hard that he huddled on the ground, screaming and cursing, and he really wanted to cut Gu Chan into pieces.

Zuo Gongming and his companions were all terrified. It was not until Fang He was beaten black and blue by Gu Chan that they reacted and rushed over to hold her back.

Xuan Xiao and the three coachmen stood aside, watching the whole process in amazement, too shocked to speak.

They never expected that Gu Chan would be so courageous!
