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

When the people in front of the gate saw this, some were frightened, some supported it, but in short they made way for him in response to Wuye's shouting.

Gu Yue dragged the girl to the side of the horse and told her to mount: "Hurry up and mount! Wuye, take her and go quickly."

Wu Ye nodded. His master had already gone in, so what objection could he have?

After saying sorry, Wuye carried the girl onto the horse's back, then he mounted the horse himself, and galloped away without a trace.

"Let's go!" Gu Yue also mounted his horse and shouted loudly.

The sounds of beating inside had stopped, the bailiffs were lying on the ground, and Gu Xu and Shi San walked out of the county government gate.

The three of them mounted their horses and left in such a blatant manner.

The yamen runners got up and chased after them, but no one dared to actually search for fear of being beaten. So they pretended to patrol the streets, arrested a few people and pretended to question them, and then reported back: "Sir, everyone has run away."

"Waste, a bunch of waste!" the county magistrate cursed.

It turns out that you are not the one who should be beaten! The yamen runners were so angry that they could not vent their anger.

The county magistrate paced back and forth, his eyes red with anger: "This Liu Kang is always looking for trouble! Not only did he plunder the silver, but he also took the money bag. What a bastard, what a bastard!"

……

The four horses ran all the way to Pinghu Mountain before they stopped one after another.

Wuye jumped off the horse, helped the girl off the horse, and stood still.

"Thank you for saving me, sir." The girl bowed gratefully.

Wuye waved his hand: "You should thank... that scarred man, it was his idea."

As soon as he finished speaking, three horses came slowly, led by Gu Yue.

After he got off the horse, the girl bowed and thanked him again, and also thanked Gu Xushi and the other two people behind her one by one.

Gu Yue said, "I was impulsive and thoughtless. Where are you from? We have angered the county magistrate so much. How are you going to live here... Oh no."

It seems that it is not good for the person's reputation to release him in the street and then snatch him away.

Impulsive!

But his identity should not be exposed. If he wanted to move the gold mine nearby, he might have collusion with local officials, so he could not rashly use his identity as the prince to pressure others.

Prioritization also scores points.

"My name is Zhou Xiuyu, and I'm from Daji Village near Pinghu Town." Zhou Xiuyu said, "My husband and I are the only ones at home..."

Small problem, I can just take her to somewhere else after this is over, Gu Yue thought.

It's just that her husband...

"What's going on with your husband? Tell me in detail." Gu Yue asked.

Zhou Xiuyu thought that since they dared to rob people from the county government, they must be some capable people in the underworld, so she said, "My husband's name is Zhao Gui, and he usually does odd jobs around here. Four months ago, he said he found a human trafficker named Liu Kang in Pinghu Town and introduced a job with good wages. He will start working in two days."

She held back her tears and said, "Four months have passed and I haven't seen him since. I went to ask Liu Kang, but he said my husband didn't work for him... The second time I went back, I saw the money bag I made on the table, and that's when I suspected he had killed someone."

"Does your husband have a lot of silver?" Gu Yue asked.

"Probably not much, just two taels of silver in odds and ends. I'll give it to him to help with relationships and treat people to tea." Zhou Xiuyu said.

"This amount of money is not much, and it's not worth killing someone for it." Gu Yue pondered, "But you made the purse, and it even had gold thread..."

"That gold thread is not obvious! It's less than one centimeter at most. It's a piece of gold particle I picked up on the riverbank and burned it into gold thread myself." Zhou Xiuyu blushed: "But the technique is a bit crude and it cost a lot... I should have sold it directly if I had known."

"Riverbeach? Which mountain's riverbeach?" Gu Yue became alert.

"It's the small river near our Daji Village." Zhou Xiuyu said, "Oh, Daji Village is near Mati Mountain."

Gu Yue immediately took the map off the horse and spread it out to look at it.

"It seems that Wuyan and Wuyun are investigating in the villages and towns near Mati Mountain." Gu Xu said.

"A river that flows with gold..." Gu Yue turned to Zhou Xiuyu and asked, "Can you often find gold in this river?"

"There is a little bit, but it's just gold particles, maybe only one a year." Zhou Xiuyu said.

"The mine is probably around here." Gu Yue said to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu nodded.

"Did your husband tell me what he was going to do?"

"He didn't tell me. I asked him and he said it was a good job, but he wouldn't let me know in advance, he just said it was physical work." Zhou Xiuyu said.

A guess emerged in Gu Yue's mind.

"Where is Liu Kang usually? Did he take the initiative to find your husband, or did your husband find him?"

"My husband found him... He usually works in the government pawnshop in Pinghu Town." Zhou Xiuyu said.

"We know." Gu Yue wanted to check on Liu Kang. "Are you going anywhere? I suggest you don't go home yet, but find a place to hide for a while. The county magistrate doesn't seem to be a generous person."

"I have a distant relative in Fuyuan Town, I can hide there." Zhou Xiuyu said.

Gu Yue felt relieved. Now that they could follow Liu Kang's lead, Gu Yue had a feeling that they would gain something.

To ensure her safety, they sent Zhou Xiuyu to the home of a distant relative in Fuyuan Town before leaving.

The four of them disguised themselves and returned to Pinghu Town. As soon as they entered the town, Wu Ye was immediately amazed at Gu Yue's foresight. He saw a large portrait of Gu Yue posted on the notice board at the entrance of the town, saying that this was a thief roaming around nearby, and a reward of 20 taels of silver was offered.

"Only twenty taels! You're giving it to a beggar!" Gu Yue couldn't help but complain.

The portrait was not very good looking, but when Gu Xu looked at it, he found that it resembled the original Gu Dashi.

"Twenty taels is not a small amount." Wuye said, "This is not the Central Plains, it's not that rich."

Gu Yue curled his lips.

The four did not ride horses to avoid conspicuousness, but walked to the vicinity of the pawnshop.

Because it was not appropriate to show up rashly, they squatted on the roadside and observed the situation in front of the pawnshop. The pawnshop was deserted, with no one around for a long time, and the shopkeeper inside looked like just an employee, not like Liu Kang himself.

According to Zhou Xiuyu's description, Liu Kang was a tall, thin man with a mean look, probably in his thirties.

For some reason, there are three or four pawnshops in Pinghu Town.

"You heard about it too? Hahahahahaha… Liu Kang, that idiot, has finally come to this day."

"I've disliked him for a long time. In my opinion, the county magistrate is also a fool. He is too protective of his own people. Now he got his comeuppance!"

"It's a pity that those people didn't beat that guy up as well..."

There was the sound of chatting.

Gu Yue took a look and saw that the shop next to him seemed to be a pawnshop as well, but it was much smaller. Two unidentified people were sitting in front of the door, chatting.

"You two, you also..." Gu Yue leaned over and winked at Liu Kang's teeth, "Do you think that's not okay?"

"Who are you?" asked the person closer to Gu Yue.

"I was cheated by the man you mentioned before, and worked for a few days for nothing." Gu Yue played the emotional card, "I went to ask for an explanation, but they relied on their connections and threatened to put me in jail..."

The two men's eyes lit up.

A common enemy always brings people closer together!
