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

Use the copper key to open the drawer under the table, and inside are the ink pad and seal box.

The date stamp is a very delicate thing. It consists of a wooden frame, in which different date stamps can be installed. The year and month stamps are specially made in one piece, and you only need to change the date.

At this time, the date installed in the wooden frame was still yesterday, and there was no time to change it. Gu Xu took down the seal heads engraved with "初" and "贰", picked out "拾" and "七" from the box, and pressed them into the wooden frame.

The month's stamps were placed in a corner of the box. There was only last month's stamp, which had dried up after not being used for a long time.

Gu Xu changed the seal, evenly applied ink, compared the position of the seals on other contracts, and pressed it on the new deed paper.

Then he restored the seal, wiped off the wet mark on the top of the seal, and put it back in the drawer as it was.

The new seal has some color flaws, but it's not a big deal. King Yin won't use this thing right away, so it will be fine if it is kept for a while.

But Wu Feng remained silent.

Gu Xu turned his head and saw that Wu Feng was sweating and frowning as he held the luminous stone in his mouth. He handed the stack of contracts to Gu Xu and took the stone off: "Master, no."

Gu Xu frowned. He motioned Wu Feng to turn over the pages, and scanned them one by one. Indeed, he could not find the contract between He Le and Gu Dashi.

"Seventeen's contracts are all here. I also looked for those from the five days before and after, but I still can't find any." Wu Feng said in a low voice.

Gu Xu was silent.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xu said, "Look for the record of the contract."

The two men began to search the room again. Gu Xu wiped the red marks from his fingers and looked at the drawers in deep thought.

"Found it." Wu Feng came over holding a notebook.

This month's record was on the table, and last month's was locked away. I opened the thick blue leather cover and turned to the 17th day, where Gu Dashi's name was prominently listed.

"He Le didn't lie." Gu Xu said.

Wu Feng flipped through the pages and immediately found the reason: "Master, the contract has been taken away."

Gu Xu looked at the gear that Wu Feng was pointing at.

On the 21st of last month, a subordinate of the prefect of Huaizhong Prefecture came with a token to retrieve the deed.

"It's troublesome." Gu Xu said.

"Master..." Wu Feng looked solemn.

"Retreat first. Put everything back in place and let's leave here." Gu Xu ordered.

After carefully restoring the contract books to their original state and locking each drawer, the three of them quietly left the county government office. Wu Feng changed his route halfway to return the key, while Gu Xu and Wu Yun headed towards the alley where Gu Yue was hiding.

When they arrived at the place, there was no trace of Gu Yue and Shi San.

Gu Xu looked around and said, "Go back to the woods."

……

There is a little light in the densely shaded forest.

When Gu Xu came close, he was stopped by a shining dagger. Shi San emerged from the shadows, saw Gu Xu's face clearly, looked him up, and then slowly retreated to the open space in the forest.

Gu Yue asked nervously in the dark: "Shi San, who is it?"

"Dad." Gu Xu called.

Gu Yue showed up immediately, his face as handsome as if it had just cleared up after a rainy day.

"Xiao Xu! How is it, did you get it?" Gu Yue surrounded him attentively.

"No. I'm afraid the contract was transferred by King Yin and is now in his hands." Gu Xu detailed their findings, "The prefect of Huaizhong must have received instructions from King Yin."

"What?!" Gu Yue was shocked.

He wasn't that surprised. If it were him, he would have kept such an important matter in his own hands.

"Why did you come back to the woods? Aren't you supposed to wait in the county?" Gu Xu asked.

"...Don't mention it." Gu Yue's face suddenly turned bad.

After losing the aura of the protagonist, the cannon fodder was simply plagued by bad luck. A patrolling guard deviated from the established route and went to relieve himself under the chinaberry tree. Shi San had just knocked the man unconscious when two people came behind him and asked him to drink after his shift. He and Shi San worked together to hide the man in the bushes and made some noise to divert the two people, so that they could get away. He did not dare to stay in the county town any longer and hurried back to the grove.

Gu Yue reflected that this strategy of waiting outside the county government office was not appropriate. He should have hidden in the woods from the beginning.

Gu Xu was silent for a moment and patted his shoulder.

Fortunately, it didn't attract too much attention.

After a while, Wu Feng came back.

"What should we do next? The contract has fallen into the hands of King Yin. This matter..." Gu Yue said, "Is the prefect of Huaizhong King Yin's man? King Yin doesn't seem to have any power, right?"

Gu Xu had long since given up on asking why he knew so much about the situation, and explained, "The prefect of Huaizhong Prefecture is a relative of the Xu family. The Xu family and King Yin are on the same side."

"You have found out so much?" Gu Yue was surprised.

He knew Xu. In the original story, Xu was ostensibly a force under a certain prince, but actually served King Yin. Later, it seemed that something happened in the harem that exposed their position, so Gu Xu linked some clues to King Yin.

Things in the backyard...it seemed that there was also a plot by Gu Xu's wife, the heroine Yu Weishuang. She held two banquets, talked to some people, and made some arrangements, and then Xu's backyard was in chaos.

Of course, no one was hurt.

The original text of the part involving the house fight was rather vague, and Gu Yue had no idea how it was done. He couldn't even remember the names of the characters in the Xu family.

Maybe when the time comes, he'll be able to remember it?

It's all the author's fault. Because the pornographic plot is so popular, he didn't write the plot properly. The hero and the heroine always say a few words about the situation and then go back to the house. Gu Xu is written as evil and lustful...

As he thought about it, the way he looked at Gu Xu changed.

I'm upset. How can their Xiao Xu be that kind of person? She's obviously gentle, pure and serious.

I really can't imagine that kind of evil and crazy look.

He touched Gu Xu's face and rubbed his head until Gu Xu lowered his head and clamped his wrist, then he smiled.

Gu Xu was really confused. This person always looked at him in a trance, and then laughed to himself after a while, which occasionally gave him goose bumps.

What's wrong with Xu? What are you laughing at? What happened to Xu?

"What are you laughing at again?" Gu Xu asked with a frown.

"I'm thinking about what will happen after you get married." Gu Yue said.

Gu Xu's face suddenly became a little hot, but in the darkness, his tone was calm and Gu Yue could not hear anything: "Why think about these things? Think about the present matter first."

"Oh... yes, yes." Gu Yue clicked his tongue. He had a lot of distracting thoughts.

He calmed down and analyzed, "Since King Yin asked someone to transfer the contract, he was afraid that we would find something wrong and steal it. There is not much difference between leaving it in the prefectural city and the county government, so he must have kept it with him."

Gu Yue got on his horse. Things had come to this point and there was no point in feeding mosquitoes here.

"Let's go back first. It's not easy to break into King Yin's residence... We need to think about what to do about this." Gu Yue said.

But he felt a little heavy in his heart. King Yin might have known their disguise at that time.
