Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The people who came were Jingcun and an unfamiliar guy.

Gu Yue still had an impression of the tall and handsome guy's face. When he saw him, he immediately smiled with relief.

"Here I come, brother!" said Gu Yue.

Jingcun nodded, took out the key and opened the cell door: "You can leave now."

"Okay." Gu Yue said with a smile.

The unknown person kept a close eye on Gu Yue and the other three the entire time, guarding against them as if they were thieves, fearing that Gu Yue would pass something to Jing Cun when he wasn't paying attention.

Gu Yue blocked his view and straightened Gu Xu's clothes, then put on the hat. The group walked out of the prison and followed Jing Cun to the prison gate.

The long-lost sunshine, clouds floating in the sky, and the weather is great.

"Lord Jing, what do you think of this case?" Gu Yue asked.

"The pepper garden was burned and we found nothing." Jingcun said with a cold face.

what? !

Gu Yue was horrified.

The stranger immediately became alert and stared at them.

“All?! All the things of Lord Han are gone?!” Gu Yue’s eyes were almost red.

"No, the only things on fire were the yard where the manager lives and the nearby fields. Most of the other plants were fine, except that their leaves were burnt." Jingcun said.

"Are there any pepper trees? The pepper there is like Sichuan pepper, in grains, and I don't know if it has any fruit yet." Gu Yue did not forget to act in front of strangers.

"...Some of the people I brought with me know that thing, but it's not a tree, it's a vine." Jingcun was speechless, "The prince said that thanks to you accidentally providing a clue, he dug two for you."

...Qin Zhaoyue, a good man.

Gu Yue was about to cry.

Although the crops may not survive, it is a good intention to do so. This prince is indeed as meticulous as described in the original text.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Do I need to go and express my gratitude?" Gu Yue asked.

"No need, just get out of here." The stranger said immediately.

"Indeed, it is not necessary. The reward the prince gave you is limited to this. You should not try to get close to His Highness again in the future." Jingcun said coldly, "You dragged the prince in to help you out without reason. Who do you think His Highness is? You even caused His Highness to be scolded."

Gu Yue was not angry. He knew that this was a smokescreen to confuse the person next to him, so he smiled along with it, acting like an ordinary person: "I was wrong... I only did this in a desperate situation. I won't dare to do it again next time."

Dare you next time!

But thinking of Gu Xu's strange temper, Gu Yue changed his mind and decided not to do it again.

This is because Gu Yue had read the original text and knew that the prince was not a fool who would punish others just because he was a little unhappy, so he boldly called him to help. If it was the stupid Third Prince, or the smiling tiger like the King of Yin, he would rather die than encounter any trouble in front of them.

If he was taken advantage of, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Shi San was lurking around but didn't show up, so Gu Yue didn't rush and followed Jing Cun out of the government office. When they got to the back door, they saw... nothing, just a bare street.

Where's the car?

The stranger took the opportunity to say, "The cart you took has been returned to the car dealership. You can rent another one."

Gu Yue's expression remained unchanged.

Of course, the cart was taken away and carefully searched by Wen Qing's men. I'm afraid Wu Yan and his men were also stopped along the way and the luggage of the convoy that came along was checked under some pretext.

To check whether they had brought any physical evidence from the pepper garden.

Gu Yue will not give the account book to anyone for the time being.

Jingcun walked them halfway and then left. The stranger stared at the group of four for a long time before leaving, looking back every few steps.

Qin Zhaoyue was staring at these people, so he naturally couldn't act rashly, otherwise he would be caught immediately, and then Wen Qing would be in danger.

They were suspected - the emperor and the prince knew it, but they just lacked evidence. Their current situation was not suitable for any more trouble, so Wen Qing had to behave himself for a long time.

There are still a lot of things going on in the capital, and it is not wise to waste too much time with these people.

This is what Gu Yue guessed, and Wen Qing did exactly that.

Three days were enough time for the prince to send back several urgent reports, but there was no decision from the capital, which meant that the evidence was not sufficient to convict both of them. Gu Dashi did not have any decisive evidence to present to the prince.

Therefore, even though Wen Qing was very concerned about the intelligence revealed by the man named Gu Dashi, he had to put it aside for now.

Just ask people to keep a close eye on it.

Because the prince was involved in this incident, even the Yuzhou Sima came to Yuning Prefecture to take charge of the situation. The pepper garden was hastily set on fire with kerosene, and the hemp leaf warehouse and account books were burned to ashes. There was no evidence to prove that Sarhan was involved in drugs, let alone Wen Qing and Tang Wuling.

In the end, the incident was ostensibly determined to be Sarhan's tax evasion, the Jiaoyuan was sealed off, and Wen and Tang were ordered to return to Beijing immediately.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu, who had successfully hidden themselves in the incident, got on Wu Yan's carriage that had come to pick them up, and set out on their journey home along the official road.

……

"Were you stopped to inspect the carriage?" Gu Yue asked.

"Yeah. We hid the important things in advance and they didn't notice anything." Wu Yan replied.

"That bunch of bastards!" Wu Huo cursed, "They cut off the cloth covering our carriage to see if there was any smuggled stuff, and they still didn't pay me. If A Yan hadn't stopped them, I would have beaten them all into pig heads..."

"Where are my things?" Gu Xu asked.

"Under the carriage seat, nothing is missing." Wu Yan answered again.

Gu Xu pushed the front of the car and got into the carriage. The curtain dropped and Gu Yue couldn't see what he was doing inside.

"Those people didn't give you too much trouble, did they? What was your reaction? Did you resist?" Gu Yue continued to ask.

"No." Wu Yan said.

"Of course I don't agree with their search! But those bastards actually have official evidence, so there's nothing we can do. We can't just kill them all." Wu Huo shrugged.

"Hmm..." Then Wuyan and Wuhuo's reactions were normal. There was nothing wrong with it, and it shouldn't arouse suspicion.

"Afeng, why don't you say anything?" Wu Huo noticed that Wu Feng had been sitting there without moving. "It's not like your style."

Wu Feng looked like he had lost his soul and said nothing.

"I'm exhausted these past few days." Wu Yun explained, "The cell is pretty... pretty bad. The food is terrible, too."

He was still tactful.

"We will all be cellmates from now on, haha." Gu Yue told a joke.

No one laughed.

Gu Yue was embarrassed for a moment.

Wu Feng's mind was full of... What was going on between the master and that Gu Dashi? The deep love between father and son, was this deep love between father and son a little weird?

Gu Yue tried to save himself: "Why hasn't Shi San come back yet? Could he have been captured by someone?..."

……

Gu Xu squatted in the carriage.

He pulled the small wooden box out from under the seat and opened it.

A couple of people were lying quietly on a pile of loose silver.
