Chapter 31 Is this a sheep or a wolf
An Yu almost stood up in a hurry. If Hu Li and Gu Zichen hadn't stretched out their hands on both sides of the table and pressed them on her lap at the same time, she would have rushed up. Now she could only resist the impulse to go crazy, lowered her eyebrows and softly, and gently refused: "Master Gu, don't get me wrong. The second young master and I are really not ......”
"Father, I think the most important thing so far is to retrieve the lost goods first. I have my own plans to deal with An Yu."
Gu Zichen's words made An Yu breathe a little relieved, but her heart was still in her throat. There was an indescribable sense of helplessness. She knew that it was impossible for him to clarify everything to Gu Shixing now. Not only would it not play any role, but it would make Gu Shixing more angry and think that they were deceiving him. Gu Zijun can also find an opportunity to step on Gu Zichen. An Yu does not want to have a further relationship with Gu Zichen, let alone cause any trouble because he can't handle the current situation well.
The only way now is to drag it to retrieve the goods and come up with a two-way solution.
"What can you plan to do? Didn't you just say what the girl said before?
Gu Shixing frowned, and there was already obvious unhappiness on his face, but he still wanted to maintain some of his so-called demeanor in front of An Yu and Hu Li. He was not directly dissatisfied with Gu Zichen as yesterday. However, his silence did not mean that no one spoke at the table. Gu Zijun saw that his father did not speak and was afraid of Gu Zichen. After the marriage with An Yu, Gu Fang had already told him all the benefits of Gu Zichen taking An Yu. At this moment, when he saw Gu Zichen hesitated, An Yu also seemed to have a look of retreating, and immediately couldn't calm down.
"Father, the main purpose of sending me back by An Yu and Hu Li is not to be greedy for what we can give them in return, but to ask them for help, hoping to retrieve the lost goods while reducing the greatest loss."
"If they don't want to repay, won't we repay them?" Gu Zijun immediately took out his eldest brother's momentum and was ready to teach Gu Zichen a lesson. Gu Zichen didn't even look at him, but still looked at Gu Shixing with a pleading look. When Gu Shixing heard the goods, his expression had changed a little. Now when he heard Gu Zichen mention it again, he couldn't help but pay some attention to it. He was accurate. Gu Zichen, who was ready to continue to show his eloquence, made a stop gesture, and then looked at An Yuhe with a confident smile. Hu Li, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, touched his chin, as if he was considering it.
"Dad, Zichen..."
"Hmm?"
Gu Shixing frowned slightly unhappily. Gu Fang immediately touched his son's foot and gave him a closed look. Gu Zijun then withdrew his voice, but he was withdrawing his sight and staring at Gu Zichen. Gu Zichen didn't even give him a lingering light. It was really... cold! An Yu had to give him a thumbs up in his heart!
"Master Gu, my sister really focuses on the idea of the second young master. If you have to get them married now, I don't think she will accept it."
At a time when the atmosphere was a little cold and indescribably dull and depressed, Hu Li leisurely picked up a steamed fish for himself. While talking, he picked up a chopsticks for An Yu. It looked as if he didn't pay attention to these declines in front of him at all. Gu Zichen lowered his head coldly, but in fact secretly Li stretched out his hand under the table and gave Hu Li a thumbs up. The two had already made an appointment when An Yu was still sleeping, one as a charge and the other as a defender.
In short, it is only for one purpose. While stopping this so-called marriage, Gu Shixing should also accept to stay still, not provoke the government, and let them deal with the robbery of the goods themselves.
"Why? The woman pays the most attention to fame. Since Miss An and Chen'er have..." At this point, Gu Shixing paused and said in a softer tone, "Or does Miss An think our Gu family is too hasty to respect your feelings?"
An Yu shook her head. She was in a stable mood. She took a deep breath and then said calmly, "Master Gu's words are serious. I'm just a village girl on the sandwich road. The Gu family is a high climb for me. That happened at the beginning because of the urgency of the situation and it is important to save people, not to mention me and the second young master. There is no husband and wife. The reason why my cousin and I will follow is that I hope to help the second young master. An Yu never thought that the second young master would be responsible for me. I know that I am not worthy of the second young master.
Gu Shixing heard this and frowned slightly. An Yu continued, "I hope Master Gu can give us a little time. We will definitely find out the whereabouts of that batch of goods."
"I have decided to hand this matter over to the government."
"Father, by no!"
As soon as he heard that Gu Zichen was not allowed to find the government, Gu Zijun, who finally had the opportunity to please the governor of Changdu, was immediately unhappy. He just didn't stand up to provoke Gu Zichen. His eyes almost jumped out of sparks. Gu Zichen, who still didn't give him a look, said angrily, "Why not? You lost the goods yourself, why don't you let the officer report? Zichen, this is your fault. If the government comes forward, at least there is hope to get the goods back from the robbers..."
"If the government comes forward, it is bound to scare the snakes. When they search the mountain, the bandits will pack their things and take them away. They are not fools. Do you know that the government is still waiting for you to catch them in the stockade?"
Hu Li took a look at Gu Zichen and knew that he did not want to have a positive conflict with Gu Zijun in front of Mr. Gu. Therefore, in the afternoon, the two hid in the room and talked secretly and assigned their respective tasks for a long time. Although it was the first time to cooperate, Gu Zichen cooperated quite tacitly. The look also relaxed a little.
"What's wrong with Mr. Hu?"
"I'm a wild man. There is no clever plan. I just know how to track it in the mountains and forests, and I also know the strongholds of several bandits and villages on the clip road. It's not me who really has a way, but the second young master..."
"He?"
Gu Zijun seemed to be really impatient. He couldn't hear anyone mention Gu Zichen at all. At this moment, he showed a disdainful look without concealment, which made Gu Shixing immediately snorted coldly. Then he completely closed his voice with dissatisfaction. Gu Shixing turned his eyes to Gu Zichen. In his heart about his son's ability, In fact, he still knows that he is indeed a business material. When he first came into contact with his family's business, he directly talked about this cooperation with Asla.
However, the more capable Gu Zichen is, the more worried and uneasy Gu Shixing is.
"What do you think of Chen'er?"
"Father, I believe in An Yu and Hu Li. Although they are only villagers at the foot of Jiazi Mountain, they are more familiar with that place than us outsiders. If you don't disturb the government, it doesn't mean that I can't use the power of the government. If the child is in trouble, I believe that Bai Rui will not help me. But if your father comes forward and Lord Bai's announcement comes out, he will openly invite the government to search the mountain order, and it will always be more convenient to investigate secretly.
"You mean, let Hu Li lead the way, and you let Bai Rui take the people of the government to secretly touch the mountain?"
Gu Zichen nodded and continued to say, "I said hello to Master Jia of Changxing Dart Bureau before I left for the loss of goods. No matter what accident and situation happened, I had to strictly guard the news and not let the outside world know that there was an accident. Father, you know better than me about the cooperation with Asla this time. How many thoughts? If they know that there is something wrong with our delivery of goods this time, I believe that He Shuyan will try his best to seize the opportunity.
Gu Zichen said these words in a hurry, and his tone was still plain, but it brought out all the key points that Gu Shixing cared about, and also let An Yu know that Gu Zichen was not completely empty. Although he didn't touch much of family business, he couldn't see what confidants he had at home for the time being. However, he still has an official friend named Bai Rui, who he doesn't know who he is.
Another point is that the Gu family is not a dominant one in the cloth industry in Changdu, and there is also a sworni. The person named He Shuyan should be a difficult person to deal with. Otherwise, Gu Shixing would not show hatred and become serious when he heard his name. An Yu subconsciously kept several key points revealed by Gu Zichen in mind. She already had a concern in her heart about who was an enemy or a friend, but she didn't care at all. At this time, she turned Gu Zichen to be her own person and naturally considered things from his perspective. What's wrong?
"How sure are you?"
"If the father trusts the child and gives the child the full power to deal with this matter, and gives the child half a month. If the child can't get the goods back, the child will be disposed of by the father."
"It seems that you are ready."
"Please ask the father to give the child this opportunity to make up for it."
"Anyway, this has happened. If you are sure to persuade Bai Rui to come forward, just do as you say."
"Thank you, father!"
"Dad! How can this be? You didn't ask me to go to Lord Bai tomorrow..."
Without waiting for Gu Zijun's protest, Gu Shixing rubbed his temples impatiently. Gu Fang immediately stood up behind him and massaged him to relieve his fatigue. Gu Shixing slowly said, "Don't say anything. For Lord Bai, Chen'er is indeed the best person to be willing to come forward. Choose."
Gu Shixing's affirmation made An Yu more curious about Gu Zichen. Is he really a little white sheep or a big gray wolf in sheep's clothing? On the surface, he seems to have no place at home, how can he get along so well outside? Even in the affairs of the government, Gu Shixing will admit to his face that Gu Zichen's ability is far greater than Gu Zijun's? Since the He family is the sworn end of the Gu family, which can make Gu Shixing taboo a little, it must be a big family in Changdu. Gu Zichen can actually grab the opportunity to cooperate with Asla from the He family.
It seems that... Gu Zichen is not simple. Is it really a big gray wolf just waiting for the opportunity?
