The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 100 Seeing the Parents

100
With Mi Congcong's hard persuasion, Lou Chenxiao finally agreed to leave for Wushan Town immediately.

What Mi Congcong didn't know was that just as she and Lou Chenxiao left, Wen Tiancheng, the yamen arrester, arrived at the teahouse.

Seeing Wen Tiancheng and his group, Gu Yu's heart sank, he stepped forward with a professional smile on his face, and said with cupped hands: "Wen Butou is here, our teahouse is really full of splendor!"

Wen Tiancheng stared at Gu Yu sharply for a while, unfolded the things in his hand, and asked bluntly, "Do shopkeeper Gu recognize this silk handkerchief?"

In Wen Tiancheng's hands is the silk handkerchief given to Mi Congcong by the female water ghost. Gu Yu had already left it at the gate of the yamen before. How did Wen Tiancheng find out here?

Gu Yu took the silk handkerchief and looked at it again and again, and said with a smile: "Wen Chutou, which girl should have embroidered this silk handkerchief, how would I recognize it?"

If Gu Yu denied that he had seen this silk handkerchief, Wen Tiancheng might still say that Gu Yu was related to this case, but Gu Yu's actions made Wen Tiancheng hesitate again.

Everything pays attention to evidence. As a head catcher, it is impossible for him to arrest people without any evidence.

"Shopkeeper Gu really doesn't recognize this silk handkerchief?" Wen Tiancheng's eyes fell on Gu Yu's face, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.

The people he sent out found that when Sipa appeared, there were only a few people passing by in front of the county government office, and this Gu Yu was one of them, and the other people were found to be suspicious after investigation, so only this Gu Yu was left. up.

Gu Yu looked surprised: "Wen Butou, it is our common people's duty to assist the government in investigating cases, but this silk handkerchief belongs to the girl's family, I really don't know it."

Seeing Gu Yu's calm expression, Wen Tiancheng frowned.

Could it be that the people below really read the wrong person?

Wen Tiancheng pursed his lips, and asked directly: "I don't know if shopkeeper Gu has been to the Yamen these days?"

"I haven't been to the yamen, but every few days when I go to the pharmacy to get medicine, I pass by the yamen." Gu Yu replied.

Wen Tiancheng looked at him, which was consistent with the news he had inquired, but it could not rule out that Gu Yu had nothing to do with this matter.

Thinking of his subordinates finding out that when the note appeared in the county government a few days ago, Gu Yu greeted the guests in the teahouse, and there was evidence of his alibi, and now he was so calm, Wen Tiancheng knew that he should not doubt him anymore, but with his years of experience His experience in handling cases told him that the man in front of him must be related to the case.

"I'm bothering shopkeeper Gu." Wen Tiancheng took a look at Gu Yu, and left with his men.

"Don't worry, Wen Butou, if I find anyone suspicious, I will report it to Wen Butou!" Gu Yu shouted.

The guests in the lobby of the teahouse were all relieved when they heard this: "So it was just a routine question."

A few days ago, the yamen found a skeleton on the hill outside the city. About it.

"Of course it's just a routine questioning!" A clever waiter said while serving tea to the guests, "I've heard that whenever there are major cases, such as teahouses and wine shops, the government will send people to ask questions. talk."

"That's right, people from all walks of life can go to these places, and the questioning by the government is also to solve the case."

"Speaking of the case a few days ago, what do you think? Was the dead man really murdered?"

"..."

"..."

Seeing that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Yu, the guests in the teahouse began to discuss the recent "skeleton case".

After leaving the teahouse, Wen Tiancheng whispered to one of the small policemen: "You stay and see if Gu Yu has any unusual behavior?"

No matter how well Gu Yu behaved, Wen Tiancheng still had doubts about him.

"Yes."

The policeman kept guard until the teahouse closed, quietly followed Gu Yu back to the small courtyard, but did not find anything unusual about Gu Yu, and finally returned to the Yamen to report to Wen Tiancheng.

"Is there really nothing abnormal?" Wen Tianchenghu asked.

"No." The little catcher said quickly: "As soon as we left, Gu Yu began to look at the account book. He was called by two guests to have a conversation. His expression was normal. After the restaurant closed, I followed him back home. I was outside his house. After guarding for half an hour, I didn't see him go out again."

The little policeman didn't find anything useful, Wen Tiancheng waved him down, and sat on the chair alone to meditate.

Besides, it is already Haishi when Lou Chenxiao and Mi Congcong returned to Wushan Town, and Mi Congcong planned to see Lou Chenxiao's father, Lou Zhanyang, at dawn the next day, so he didn't go home, and stayed directly at the inn in the town , while Lou Chenxiao returned to Lou's house.

The next day Mi Congcong had just changed into women's clothes, and Mo Qi came to the inn to pick her up.

"Miss Mi, my master is waiting for you at the teahouse on the front street." Mo Qi said.

"Master Lou knows about my affair with Young Master Lou?" Unexpectedly, Lou Zhanyang wanted to go with her, and she wanted to talk to him too.

Mo Qi lowered his head and said: "My young master talked with the master all night after returning home last night, and this morning my master said he wanted to see you."

"Your master is very angry, isn't he?" Mi Congcong understood Lou Zhanyang's mood very well at this time, and also guessed that Lou Zhanyang must hate her, Cheng Yaojin, who came out halfway.

"Fortunately."

Seeing Mo Qi like this, Mi Congcong got the idea, didn't ask any more questions, and followed him to the teahouse.

As soon as he entered the private room of the teahouse, Mi Congcong saw Lou Chenxiao inside and a middle-aged man in his 40s with a Chinese character face who looked very smart. Without Lou Chenxiao's introduction, Mi Congcong knew whether this was right or not. The middle-aged man who stared at him joyfully was Master Lou Lou Zhanyang.

"Master, young master, Miss Mi is here." Mo Qi said respectfully.

As a junior, Mi Congcong gave Lou Zhanyang a junior salute: "Master Lou."

"Lou Chun, Mo Qi, you stand guard at the door, I want to have a good talk with Miss Mi!" Lou Zhanyang stared at Mi Congcong, and spoke in a low voice, which made people feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Yes, sir."

As soon as Lou Zhanyang spoke, the attendants and Mo Qi standing behind him left the private room.

"You depend on my son? Wouldn't you marry if it wasn't my son?" Lou Zhanyang stared at Mi Congcong with sharp eyes, as if he was looking at a piece of goods to be valued.

Wouldn't she marry a non-landlord's son?

Mi Congcong raised his eyebrows and looked at Lou Chenxiao.

Lou Chenxiao coughed with guilt, and shouted impatiently at Mr. Lou: "Old man, you see people as soon as you see them. Why do you ask so many questions? Anyway, if you agree or not, I will marry her!"

"Shut up!" Lou Zhanyang said with a livid face, "How did you promise me last night?"

"Didn't I just agree to let you see her? Now that you've seen her, can you stop talking so much?" Lou Chenxiao stood up and pulled Mi Congcong to leave.

Mi Congcong pulled out his hand in embarrassment and did not leave.

She was mentally prepared and knew that Mr. Lou would not be able to treat her, but she didn't know that the relationship between the father and son would be so bad. If she had known earlier, she would have met Mr. Lou in a different way.
