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

As expected, the notice board stated the recruitment information for workers. However, He Gui and his companions did not look carefully when they entered the town, so they missed it.

The job application location was in a small house not far from here. He Gui found the address and took Shi Si and Shi Wu in.

There were quite a few people in the small courtyard, and those sitting at the table were registering the information of the visitors.

There were also some building materials for building a house in the yard, but not too many, and it was obvious that they had just started preparations.

The person at the table frowned when he saw He Gui come in.

Compared to the men who did farm work, He Gui looked thin, but the four and five stones behind him made up for it. The waiter at the table asked, "Are you here to work?"

He Gui said: "No, I came to ask something."

"Who are you?" The waiter seemed very alert. "Why are you asking? It's inconvenient. Let's go!"

He Gui was stunned.

It's understandable that the guy was unwilling to help him, but looking at his reaction, he seemed a little too sensitive, as if he was afraid of something.

The waiter saw him standing there motionless and got a little anxious. Just as he was about to scold him, someone behind him said, "Hey? Aren't you the... Manager He?"

He Gui looked at the person who spoke.

They recognized each other immediately - the one who was speaking was a steward from the third branch of the Su family. They had inevitably dealt with each other during the New Year banquets, so they became familiar with each other.

"Manager Su." He Gui was very happy and immediately bowed with both hands. "I didn't expect to see you here."

After saying this, he immediately realized something. Manager Su waved his hand and pulled him into the house: "Come on, let's talk inside. Are these two Shi Si and Shi Wu? Come in together."

The four of them walked into the house.

He Gui's face had turned serious. "What's going on, Manager Su? Why did your Su family buy a house in Liuli Town? I heard from the boss of the dental shop that it was a big merchant who moved out from Luoyang. Could it be you?"

Manager Su also had a worried look on his face: "Stop talking, there is no Su family now. But why did you come to Liuli Town? Young Master Gu Xu from Luoyang is doing very well now, why didn't you follow him?"

He Gui said: "Our master is Gu Dashi."

Manager Su was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Boss Gu... I also met him once. There were so many rumors in the capital before, and I didn't quite believe them. It's a pity that he is dead now, and he still has a bad reputation. It's really..."

He recalled the previous rumors and asked hurriedly, "Could it really be that Young Master Gu did it?"

He Gui just shook his head: "I don't know the details. What's going on with the Su family?"

"You... you have been away for a long time, right? News just came out a few days ago that the Su family was confiscated." Steward Su said, "Fortunately, our third branch was separated a while ago, so we were spared from prison. Now the master has decided to settle in Liuli Town and asked us to buy a house first."

He Gui said: "So that's how it is..."

The Su family, why did the Su family suddenly go to jail?

Could it be that Boss Gu’s speculation before his death was true?

He Gui felt vaguely uneasy.

"What is the current situation in the capital?" He Gui asked.

"The emperor was seriously ill and was about to die, so the prince took over the government for a period of time. As a result, the emperor took the medicine sent by Xidi and got better." Steward Su said, "The Su family's property was confiscated this time because of the emperor's order. The eldest master was plotting a rebellion, and it is said that there is solid evidence..."

He was very worried: "If the emperor issues an order to punish all nine clans, then our third branch will not be able to escape either."

He Gui said: "There has been no precedent of killing nine clans in the past few hundred years. The emperor will not do this easily."

Steward Su said, "I hope so. After all, my third branch was not involved in this, and we took the initiative to distance ourselves from it and left Luoyang. If the emperor wants to maintain a good reputation, he won't insist on involving us."

He sighed and then asked, "What about you? Boss Gu is already... you guys are free, so why did you come back to Liuli Town?"

He thought that it was probably Gu Xu who did it, otherwise these three people would not have left the glory and wealth in Luoyang and run to this small place.

"What's the situation with Gu Xu in Beijing?" He Gui asked.

"Gu Xu? He's got his hands on the Crown Prince..." Steward Su said, "The Crown Prince is marrying Jing's older twin sister, and Gu Xu seems to be marrying the younger sister. I think it's better for you not to go back."

"What?!" He Gui opened his eyes wide.

marry……

If Boss Gu is still alive, he must be very sad! The relationship between him and Gu Xu was seen by all of them. Except for a few ignorant people, who could not understand the meaning behind it?

Boss Gu even lost his life for Gu Xu's reputation, and this Gu Xu just... turned around and wanted to marry someone else? !

He Gui clenched his fists, anger rising in his chest.

Fortunately, they did not rashly go to Luoyang to meet Gu Xu, because this heartless man might have killed the three of them in a blink of an eye!

Shi Si and Shi Wu at the back were stunned and hadn't reacted to what was happening.

Steward Su said, "If you have nowhere to go, why don't you stay here with me for a while."

……

Gu Xu raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose.

He had been having an itchy nose since the beginning.

He stood outside the guest house of Marquis Dunxin's mansion for a while, finally took a deep breath, and stepped into the yard.

Gu Yue was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard drinking tea. He faced the room where the "wedding supplies" were placed, looking at the closed door, and he felt annoyed no matter how he looked at it.

Diaphragm response.

The tea gradually cooled down.

The people of Wumen had noticed Gu Xu's arrival in advance, so naturally no one would come forward to add water at this time. Gu Yue drank two sips of herbal tea, and felt a tightness in his chest, so he put down the cup and stood up.

He turned his head and met a pair of deep eyes.

Gu Yue froze in place.

Gu Xu...

He seemed to have lost some weight, and his face no longer looked as youthful as before. At first glance, he had completely become the handsome and steady young man described in the books, except that there were obvious blue spots under his eyes, making him look a little shabby.

Gu Yue secretly exhaled.

His eyes involuntarily became red, and he tried hard to hold back his overflowing emotions. He turned around and pretended not to see him.

Just as he was about to walk into the house, Gu Xu spoke first.

"Stop," he said.

Gu Yue's steps froze again.

It was still the original voice, but it sounded a little cold.

He could only turn around, smile, and ask, "Who are you?"

Gu Xu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He refused to take his eyes away from his face for even a moment, trying to read any hint of emotion on the other's face, but there was none.

Gu Xu said: "I am Gu Xu."

Gu Yue's face was frozen, with no change in his expression: "Oh, you are the master they are talking about."

"It's me." Gu Xu said.

After a moment of stalemate, Gu Xu took the initiative to test: "What... is your name?"

Gu Yue's eyes wandered for a moment. However, the red silk cloth and lanterns were everywhere in his vision. He paused and said.

"What does it have to do with you?"
