Chapter 131 Catch Her Slippery Little Husband
“Brother-in-law, was the scene terrifying?”
“Yes, it was bloody and very scary! So, do you want to go back?”
“No way! It’s hard to get a chance to come with you all, so don’t think about sending me back.”
“……”
On the way to the county office with the bailiffs, Gu Yu looked at his younger brother-in-law next to him, full of curiosity, and felt a bitterness he couldn’t express!
Before, when Gu Mengyao clearly didn’t want Gu Qingheng to go, Gu Qingheng had set his sights on Gu Yu and quickly ran to his side, whispering a few words.
This made Gu Mengyao curious, not knowing what Gu Qingheng wanted to say.
Given Gu Yu’s personality of fearing trouble, he would definitely be more unwilling than her to bring Gu Qingheng along.
Therefore, Gu Qingheng’s efforts were wasted.
It would have been better if he had guaranteed her that he wouldn’t cause trouble, would study diligently and listen, and would even help her catch Gu Yu and get him into bed…
If that were the case, Gu Mengyao would consider bringing Gu Qingheng along.
Of course, the latter half of the sentence was the most important.
Being able to catch her slippery little husband was the most important thing!
However, after Gu Qingheng said a few words, Gu Yu’s originally relaxed expression became extremely stiff. He wished he could hit his younger brother-in-law on the head with a stick and make him completely forget everything!
When did he gain so much of his hidden information!
Some things, if Gu Qingheng hadn’t said them, Gu Yu would have thought no one else knew and that he had kept them very well hidden.
However, he had overlooked his younger brother-in-law’s ability to gather information.
Looking at Gu Mengyao with some guilt, Gu Yu finally gritted his teeth and decided to bring Gu Qingheng to Lian Town.
This decision made Gu Mengyao begin to suspect, and she became even more curious about what Gu Qingheng had said to make Gu Yu react so strongly… Could it be related to her?
If that were the case, Gu Mengyao wouldn’t let such an opportunity pass by for nothing.
As long as she found Gu Yu’s weakness, she could blackmail Gu Yu into doing this and that!
With this thought, Gu Mengyao didn’t refuse. As the group hurried towards Lian Town, she took Gu Qingheng to the side and began to thoroughly interrogate her brother about what he had just said.
However, because she had promised Gu Yu, Gu Qingheng couldn’t reveal what he had just said.
Therefore, Gu Mengyao didn’t get any useful information and had to give up helplessly in the end.
Gu Yu had already guessed that this would happen, so after making arrangements with Gu Qingheng, he wasn’t too panicked. Instead, he leisurely walked with the group, with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
Gu Qingheng only had one chance to threaten him with his hidden information. If he tried to do it again in the future, Gu Yu had already said he would retaliate.
Gu Qingheng didn’t disbelieve Gu Yu’s words.
However, although he had wasted a good card, it was worth it to see the traces left by the monster with his own eyes!
Under such circumstances, the group did not delay and soon arrived at the county office.
At this moment, Bai Wangzhi was naturally not asleep. He was pacing back and forth in the yamen with a frown, looking very conflicted. His advisor and the bailiffs beside him didn’t even dare to breathe, lest they disturb the magistrate’s thoughts.
This matter was no small matter, especially since it involved the Gu family… it was even more troublesome!
Thinking of the news from the capital, the Gu family was currently in high favor. If anything happened, Lian Town would also suffer!
As he thought about it, Bai Wangzhi couldn’t help but sigh. Then, just as he was about to instruct someone to see if the Gu family had arrived, he saw Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao walk in quickly from the door.
Immediately, the worried look on Bai Wangzhi’s face disappeared, and he replaced it with a forced smile, preparing to go over and greet them.
“Alright, there’s no need for pleasantries. Let’s get straight to business! How is that monster related to our Gu family?”
“This…”
However, just as Magistrate Bai was about to say something, Gu Yu waved his hand directly, as if he didn’t want to waste any time. He cut straight to the chase, wanting to quickly understand the ins and outs of the matter.
The bailiff who had accompanied them all the way didn’t know much. Listening to him beat around the bush, Gu Yu felt it was better to guess himself.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the county office, he directly confronted Magistrate Bai.
When Magistrate Bai heard Gu Yu’s words, his expression couldn’t help but freeze. Then, he couldn’t help but glare at the bailiff who had followed him, thinking to himself that this kid was really unable to keep his mouth shut, how could he blurt out anything!
Glared at by the magistrate, the bailiff felt very wronged.
He hadn’t said anything!
He hadn’t even mentioned a single word.
Everything had been guessed by this Gu Yu himself.
Although he also felt puzzled as to why he could guess so accurately…
“Don’t look at others, speak quickly! Otherwise, are you looking for us to come over so you can drink tea late at night and urge me to go to the latrine at night?”
“Cough cough, actually, this matter is a long story…”
Then, Magistrate Bai did not hide anything and told the whole story in detail.
It turned out that since five days ago, strange events had occurred in Lian Town.
First, chickens and dogs went missing. A group of people came to the county office crying, saying that some damned person had stolen their livestock, not leaving even one, which was truly heartless!
If it were usual times, such a matter would be nothing major.
After all, there were always some petty thieves everywhere.
However, after a group of people came to report the crime, things became abnormal!
Even if they were really addicted to stealing, they couldn’t have stolen from so many houses at once!
This was a group crime!
Given the severity of the case, Magistrate Bai immediately sent people to investigate thoroughly, but after searching for several days, there were no clues, and the number of families who had lost livestock also increased.
Seeing so many people coming to cry every day, Magistrate Bai felt his head was about to split.
However, it was useless if no clues could be found.
Or rather, someone was deliberately committing such acts in Lian Town just to challenge his authority as the magistrate!
When Magistrate Bai thought of this possibility, he was furious and wanted to capture the culprit as soon as possible.
However, before the case of missing livestock had passed, a murder case occurred!
This made Magistrate Bai even more troubled.
Especially since the victim’s death was extremely tragic.
After the coroner examined the body, it was found that the deceased had been torn apart by wild beasts. Comparing the traces of the wounds, it should have been a wolf, but the footprints left on the body were those of a cow…
This discovery truly made Magistrate Bai so angry that he wanted to curse.
However, he still held back.
But, after the second murder case occurred, looking at the “Gu” character written in blood at the scene, Magistrate Bai started to sweat profusely when he saw it.
If the “Gu” character was too broad, then next to it, a “fire” character, which was clearly not finished by Yu…
