Chapter 142: Doubt and Cold(1/2)

Gu Ruxu’s impression is divided into two types.

A simple and crude way to get the torture instruments at hand, usually it has to make people confused and bloody before their parents can be effective.

The other one adopts a gentle attitude. If you don’t see any blood, you don’t force your confession, you will close the door and chat with "calmly". This method is about attacking the heart. For example, Meng Siliang, when he heard that he had grabbed a prisoner, he chatted for three days and three nights without letting everyone meet, forcing the man to even attract several illegitimate children outside.

Another example is her current situation.

It is true that judging by its attitude, it is more like temptation than "interrogation".

But she would never dare to drink the cup of tea in front of her.

"What are the instructions for the lord to call me here?" She put on the most respectful attitude.

The headman said: "Aunt Li has been here for several years. He has never made any mistakes in his work rules. If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to let her continue working in the kitchen. I will pay two taels of silver a month and never treat her badly."

"My aunt is honest and kind. Thanks to the care of the head over the years, Alan thanked her for her aunt." She said politely.

The head continued: "Aunt Li has no children. I heard that he loves your niece quite a bit. I have sent someone to see you in your hometown several times. It is a blessing for you, a girl, to escape from death, to escape from death."

"My father and mother died early, and A Lan dared not say "blessing." She looked sad, recalling her parents, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. "A Lan can live now, and find her aunt, it must be that her parents have knowledge and blessings all the way."

As he said that, he also twisted up his sleeves and wiped his tears.

"Alan is rude, the chief is forgiven..."

"It's okay, it's normal." The head of the government glanced at her and cleared his throat, "You are from Xunzhou, can you always come to Lizhou to walk around?"

Yo, that's the beginning.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head gently: "Xunzhou is far away from Lizhou. If it weren't for the holidays, it wouldn't be here often."

"I heard that the prefect of Xunzhou Fang Yue was quite honest, and the bandits outside Xunzhou City were all courtesy of him."

She sighed: "Prince Fang was indeed upright and loved by the people. Unfortunately, there was a playboy son who was ignorant and irrational. He caused trouble all day long. He raised a woman outside half a year ago. He was not a good match and made the person's belly bigger. Presby Fang was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick. The bandits took advantage of the situation and killed many people in the city. My parents couldn't escape..."

These words were told by Lan Zhou when she sent her in. No matter how she looked at Li Lan's background, she would be the result.

The girl in the boudoir was at the age of marriage and didn't go out often. She had seen Li Lan. Although the girl's face was not as red as her, she also had several birthmarks. Even if someone else talked about it, she couldn't tell it clearly.

In this way, as long as she speaks confidently.

What she said was not much different from the result of sending someone to investigate. If it weren't for Xunzhou people, how could she know the matters in Xunzhou's prefect's mansion?

And the causes and consequences are indeed suitable.

He slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the woman in front of him carefully. It was still the red-spotted face, the ordinary voice, and the timid voice and the shy and cringe-like manner. He didn't quite understand why the palace master suspected the insider and wanted him to try Li Lan first.

"There is Jia Qiaoxinzhai under Anle Bridge in Xunzhou. The dim sum is particularly famous. I don't know if it is still there." He asked with a smile.

Gu Ruxu blinked: "Qiaoxinzhai has been there all the time. The snacks in the store are indeed delicious, but they are not under Anle Bridge, but next to Mingyue Tower. But the person in charge has not been there for many years, so I have misremembered it?"

When she said the first half of the sentence, she felt a faint murderous aura around her. Although she was hidden secretly, there were indeed people in this courtyard.

After she finished the second half of the sentence, her murderous aura suddenly disappeared.

The manager's hand was also put back on the desk from his waist.

Gu Ruxu knew that this level had been passed.

It seems like a few common sentences, if she answered a word wrongly just now, the consequences are really hard to say.

In the place of Changsheng Palace, she eats people and doesn’t spit bones. When she decided to disguise herself, she knew that sooner or later, there would always be doubts.

She is not Li Lan, but she has to try her best to play Li Lan well.

The head of the company came to her today, and she probably knew what the purpose was. After saving Chen Xianbai last night, she returned to the Palace of Eternal Life. Maybe she missed something for a while, which made people doubt it, but

This doubt is probably not enough to make them attack a little girl, so today I called her alone to find her flaws.

Joke, do you have Zhang Liang’s plan and I have to pass the ladder? She checked all the things about Li Lan and Xunzhou in advance and remembered them in her heart first, so that one day when you encounter such a situation, you can successfully get through it.

The head asked a few more questions, and her reply was expected. Although there were any inappropriate words, there was no inappropriate statement.

In this way, the suspicion of the person in charge was gone.

Gu Ruxu saw his expression slowing down a little, and then stood up at the right time: "Master, it's getting late, and my aunt is still waiting for me in the kitchen. I should go back. Do you have any instructions?"

All the ones that should be asked were asked, but they didn't try it out. It would be inappropriate to force a maid to keep a maid.

He waved his hand and said, "Go."

"I took my leave." She was blessed and walked out of the yard.

At this point, she felt that the head's suspicion of her should be dispelled. It's better to be cautious when he is in the enemy camp. Let's calm down for a few more days. Anyway, the system has given it for three months, and it's only half a month, so there is no need to worry.

Besides, her internal injuries have not yet healed, so it is not advisable to cause trouble.

Looking back at the yard, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go back to the backyard.

At this moment, a hidden weapon suddenly flew behind her. She noticed it and pretended to tidy up her clothes, turned her side slightly, and avoided it.

After a glance at the sight of the light, a stone rolled down in the grass. The "hidden weapon" just now was this thing.

Unable to think about it, another one flew over.

She had no choice but to pretend to sprain her ankle before avoiding this.

There were no stones that were smashed for no reason in the Palace of Eternal Life. She remembered the previous temptation, and the tone she had just passed was raised to her throat again.

This suspicion is not over yet!

She didn't know how many killers were ambushing around her, but she had two stones in a row. It seemed that she wanted to test her martial arts skills. If the filling was exposed at this time, she wouldn't even think about explaining it clearly even if she opened her mouth!

She was lucky to dodge one stone and two stones, but she was a coincidence when she was dodging away.

When the third stone hit her right shoulder, she thought about it, but this time she didn't avoid it, and gritted her teeth and carried it down.

"Ouch!" She restrained her instinct to avoid, but could not control the pain.

The force on the stone pushed her out - and behind her was a deep pond.

Subconsciously, I thought of using my palm to leverage my strength and pushed myself back, but at this moment I felt a creepy look.

In the shadow of the tree, Ruan Fangting was staring at this side. Any rash move could not escape his eyes.

Why did this damn baby come here in person?

Gu Ruxu cursed in her heart and stopped her hand in time. The result was also as expected by her—

Plop!

Water splashed everywhere, and she was thrusting desperately on the water!

"Help! Help...help...help!help!..." she shouted loudly.

No one around responded.

Even the head of the courtyard never came out to take a look.

Gu Ruxu knows how to swim, but Li Lan doesn't. The moment she fell into the water, she knew that she wouldn't be able to get through this level without doing the whole set of the play.

She "struggled" in the water for a while, but no one paid attention to it. If she dragged it again, it seemed too unreasonable. She had to hold her breath secretly, pretended to be exhausted, and slowly sank under the water.

"Lord of the Palace, she has sunk." The head of the director stood beside Ruan Fangting, watching the woman in the pond gradually lose her head. "This pond is quite deep, and it may drown people. Judging from her just now, she will not be able to do anything. She is subordinate..."

"Wait a little longer." Ruan Fangting stared at the calm water surface and refused to let anyone come forward to rescue him.

There was silence everywhere, and the water was dormant.

Gu Ruxu covered his mouth and nose, stabilized his breath, looked up at the water, and decided to spend some money with these people.

But after holding this breath for a long time, I couldn't hold it in my throat, and my throat was still itchy. I couldn't choke it out in one breath, which made me feel particularly uncomfortable.

Her internal injuries could not withstand the water for too long, but the person above her had not come down to save her for a long time.

Ruan Fangting's move was really insidious. She had no other way except to endure it. If she killed her impulse at this time, she would be in no way sure of the outcome.

She waited for too long, and every moment seemed to be stretched out, endlessly. She couldn't help coughing, choking with a sip of water, and felt so uncomfortable that she was in a daze.

She knew this feeling was about to suffocate.

It is said that the body of a drowning person was particularly terrifying after it surfaced. She obviously didn't like this way of death.

The eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred. She gradually had no energy to think. The broken light on the water surface was dazzling, but the surroundings gradually became dark. Suddenly, a hand lifted her out of the water and threw it on the shore.

"Cough cough!...Cough cough..." Her eyes turned dark, and she couldn't see who picked her up, but she knew that it must be Ruan Fangting who agreed.

She couldn't even speak at the moment, and she just tried to spit out the water from her lung tube first. This feeling of dying was so uncomfortable. She lay on the ground and finally calmed down.

At this time, there was no one around.

Ruan Fangting was gone.

It seemed that she had let herself die, and she laughed weakly.

This is also good. At least it dispels Ruan Fangting's suspicion of her, at least she has survived it.

After resting for a while, she covered her right shoulder and slowly walked towards the backyard.

After all this trouble, she had no energy to go back to the kitchen to do things. Even in summer, the water in the mountains was bone-cold. After soaking for a long time, she felt cold and her hands and feet stiff. She returned to the house in a drowsy manner, climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.

Today is over. I will think about what will happen tomorrow.
