Gu Juan put down the wine bowl he had just picked up, although it was not close to each other, but with his strong perception ability, he still heard the butler's whisper clearly, word for word.

He pondered what he had just heard, looked up at Zhang Yuanwai, and said with a smile, "Zhang Yuanwai, how can you say that it is also your uncle, it is cold outside, it is better to invite people in to drink wine to warm up, if there is anything difficult to solve in his old man, he can also say to me who rides thousands of households to listen to it and see if there is a solution." ”

Zhang Yuanwai was stunned suddenly, glanced at Gu Juan with a frightened face, got up and saluted with some hesitation, and said, "The grass people don't dare to deceive the two adults, it's really because what my distant clan uncle said is too weird and difficult to understand, the grass people also sent people to investigate at the beginning, and even reported to the government later, but in the end there is no evidence, maybe it's just that my clan uncle has lost his heart and is crazy, and he says some weird crazy things to confuse people's hearts." ”

"Oh?" Gu Juan played with the wine bowl in his hand, revealing a gentle smile, "Outside of Zhang Yuan, this official likes to listen to the stories of those gods and gods the most, especially since this matter seems to involve Guling City near Zuo, and I hope to make it clear." ”

Speaking of this, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and when he spoke again, his face had become cold and ruthless, "If something really happens in Guling City, but the staff is still hiding the truth from the official, and after the incident is out of control, once a hat that is not reported is buckled from top to bottom, I just don't know if Zhang Yuanwai's head is big enough, and whether it is hard enough." ”

Zhang Yuan's face was pale outside, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at the two horsemen sitting in the seat blankly, and suddenly sighed after a long time, "Well, since the two adults ordered it, the grass people don't dare to hide anything...... Please wait a while, and the grass people will go and call my distant uncle to come over. ”

Gu Juan watched playfully as Zhang Yuanwai left the table with the housekeeper, and took another sip of wine and said, "Counselor Zhu, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhu Zhan put down the chopsticks, his brows furrowed and loosened, and he thought about it and said slowly, "Returning to the hundred households, although the subordinates didn't hear what they whispered just now, but looking at the expressions of the master and the steward, they must have something in their hearts, and they deliberately made a look of wanting to hide it, but the real purpose seems to be deliberately trying to cover it up and expose the matter in front of the adults." ”

Gu Juan was noncommittal, picked up a chopstick sauce and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said with a smile, "Then let's wait and see." ”

After a short time, Zhang Yuan went out and returned, leading an old farmer in shabby clothes to Gu Ju.

Zhang Yuanwai, the distant clan uncle, didn't dare to look at Gu Juan who was sitting in the center, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't stop kowtowing, and he couldn't even say a word of neatness.

"Old man, get up and sit down and talk......... It's freezing outside, drink a few bowls of soju to warm up your body, and take this time to think about what you want to say to the official, come, we'll talk after eating and drinking. ”

Lao Zhangtou sat down at the table in fear, cowering and lifting the chopsticks, and didn't know where to stretch it, so he could only drink one sip after another.

After a few glasses of spirits, Lao Zhangtou was already a little drunk, and after sitting down, he stretched out his chopsticks for the first time to pick up a piece of braised pork.

Gu Juan made a look, Zhu Zan immediately understood, put a large pot full of stewed chicken just served in front of Lao Zhangtou, and sat down himself, while giving him vegetables, he frequently persuaded him to drink.

The imperial court counselor Tiqi personally distributed vegetables to persuade wine, not only the old Zhang Tou, even Zhang Yuanwai had never seen such a battle, where was there any reason to refuse, immediately a mouthful of meat with a sip of wine, and after a while, he drank a jar full of spirits.

Gu Juan filled his wine glass, got up and saluted Lao Zhangtou, and said with a smile: "The old man eats very fragrantly, and I can see that my appetite has increased greatly, come, I will toast Mr. Zhang." ”

Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, this adult sitting on the main seat really didn't have any intention of looking down on himself, his heart was hot, and he hurriedly picked up the cup and drank it with Gu Ju.

After eating and drinking for a while, Gu Juan put down his chopsticks and smiled at the old Zhang Tou, who was already seven or eight points saturated and eight or nine points drunk: "Zhang Yuanwai said that you have something to report to the official, and now there are no outsiders in the room, if you have anything to say, the old gentleman will say it directly." ”

Lao Zhang's eyes were hot, he burped, looked up cautiously, and said: "Little Lao'er is a carpenter, just five days ago, Xiao Lao'er thought about selling something for money while he was a year ago, so he picked two loads of newly made benches to sell in Guling City, but only sold less than half from morning to afternoon, Xiao Lao'er was cold, hungry and disappointed, so he thought of finding a roadside stall to eat a bowl of hot noodles and go home." ”

Gu Juan picked up the wine bowl and touched Lao Zhangtou, drank it all, and motioned for him to continue.

Lao Zhangtou also let go at this time, without the cringe and fear when he first came in, "Little Lao'er found a noodle stall, spent a few pennies to ask for a sour noodle soup, and made a bowl of soju, sat there and ate slowly, at that time I didn't know what was going on, originally a jar of wine was nothing to drink, that day it was just such a bowl of wine in the stomach, I was so drunk that I couldn't even stand steadily, so I had to lean against the wall to rest for a while, just wait for the wine to go down and then go." ”

"As a result, the little old man rested, and it was dark. Lao Zhangtou took another big sip of wine, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he stroked his chest and gasped a few times before he continued, "I rushed towards the city gate in a panic, but after all, it was a little late to catch up, the city gate has been closed and locked, and if you want to get out, you can only wait for the next morning." ”

"I feel sorry for spending money, but this day is freezing and I don't dare to carry it outside, so I had to find a few copper coins, go to find an inn, and ask for a bunk in the most ordinary Chase room, although there are many noisy and chaotic people, but it is better than being frozen to death outside. ”

After dark, everyone quickly lay down and fell asleep, and then slept until midnight, Xiao Lao'er suddenly woke up from the cold, and was just about to wrap the broken quilt and continue to sleep, but suddenly found that the Chase shop was a little too quiet...... Whether it was the sound of snoring, grinding teeth, or farting, all disappeared, and the Chase Shop, where a dozen people lived, was quiet like a graveyard in the wilderness at that time. ”

Lao Zhangtou raised his head and glanced at a few people, sighed and said, "This adult, little Lao'er was scared out of a cold sweat at that time, and immediately wanted to put on his clothes and escape out of the door, but he was horrified to find that I couldn't move, my body was stiff like a dead tree, and I couldn't even blink my eyes......"

I waited in fear in the dark for I don't know how long, and the little old man suddenly heard the door of the Chase Shop being opened, and then I didn't hear the footsteps, but I felt as if something had entered the house from the outside, and then stuck to my face, and it felt like a cold and slippery snake rubbing against my body...... I was terrified, but I couldn't do anything about it, so I let the thing burrow around me, until suddenly my eyes went dark and I fell asleep again. ”
