Chapter 176 Chance Encounter
Chapter 176 Chance Encounter
At this moment, a man in gray suddenly slammed into Nangong Yue, knocked her to the ground, and then ran away from her.
"Miss!"
The men next to him were startled and immediately ran up to help him.
"He stole my bag, you guys need to get it back first!"
Nangong Yue touched her waist and found that the brocade bag originally hanging on her waist was missing. Her expression suddenly changed and she immediately reminded the men around her.
"You protect the young lady, we will go after her!"
After saying that, the four men chased in the direction where the man in gray had left, while the rest stayed with Nangong Yue to protect him.
....
"Stop, hand over my lady's things quickly!"
Looking at the man in gray fleeing in front of him, the four of them kept approaching each other, bound to get the lady's things back.
At this time, Gu Chen and others happened to be passing by and saw the man in gray running towards them lamely.
"Sir, he seems to be a thief. Do you want to help?"
Looking at the man in gray running towards him, Liu Yun asked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen said calmly: "Stop him and take a look."
A few seconds later, just as the man in gray was about to pass by Gu Chen, Liu Yun decisively stretched out his golden right foot. The man in gray clothes originally suffered from a leg injury. Liu Yun stumbled and fell directly to the ground. A purple bag flew out of his hand and landed at the feet of Gu Chen and the others.
Liu Yun quickly bent down, picked up the kit on the ground and handed it to Gu Chen.
Then the four men caught up with him, but they didn't pay attention to Liu Yun's movements, nor did they see the kit that fell on the ground. They walked directly in front of the man in gray, grabbed his collar and pulled him away. Get up, "Take out my lady's things."
Looking at the four men in front of him, the man in gray was frightened and panicked, and quickly explained: "No, not here. When we were wrestling just now, the kit fell out!"
"You are still refusing to tell the truth, right? Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"
The subordinates thought that the other party was unwilling to hand over the tips and deliberately lied, and his expression suddenly became furious.
The man in gray clothes was about to cry, "What I said is true. The thing is really not in my hand."
However, at this time, Nangong Yue also caught up. He first looked at the man in gray, then looked at his men, and asked, "Did you get the things back?"
The man carrying the man in gray turned to look at Nangong Yue, "Miss, this guy is unwilling to tell the truth and unwilling to take out his things. How about we punish him and make him be more honest?"
Before Nangong Yue could speak, a male voice suddenly came from behind, "Is this the tip you are talking about!"
Hearing this sudden voice, Nangong Yue was slightly startled, because the voice seemed familiar. When she turned around to look, a familiar face caught her eye, which made her heart tremble.
King Zhuang!
Why is he here? !
She had dealt with him several times and knew very well what kind of person King Zhuang Gu Chen was.
Although he was confused at all times, the appearance, tone of voice, and even temperament of the man in front of him were very similar to the other man.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Gu Chen walked up to her and took out the bag of tips in his hand, "Is this what you are talking about?"
Perhaps because of the veil, Gu Chen could only see a pair of her eyes, so he did not associate the girl in front of him with Princess Yun in Kyoto.
Nangong Yue also reacted at this time, and quickly took the tip bag handed over by the other party, "This is it, thank you sir."
While speaking, she bowed slightly and saluted Gu Chen.
After saying that, she turned to look at her men and ordered: "The thing has been found. You can send him to the Yamen to report to the official!"
As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to report to the police, the man in gray became anxious and quickly knelt down and begged: "Sir, miss, please spare me this time! I can't eat, so I have no choice but to do this kind of theft." As long as you don’t report it to the official, you can do whatever you want me to do.”
"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Take him away!"
Nangong Yue did not sympathize with the other party's pleading and decisively asked his men to take him away.
Gu Chen did not stop him.
Although the man in gray looked pitiful, it was a mistake and it was a fact.
Don't let the other person off easily just because he shows weakness, otherwise after he escapes, he may still attack other people next time. Sending him in is also a chance to give the other person a chance to change his ways.
Although the magistrate of Qingshui County did not do anything, the people below could still help him with such a small matter.
It wasn't until his men left with the man in gray that Nangong Yue looked at Gu Chen again and asked falsely: "I just asked you to help me, sir. I wonder who his name is and where he lives? If you have a chance in the future, I will definitely let my husband come with me." Come and repay the favor.”
"No need, I can't help much, just find the things. Now the matter has been solved, I'll leave first." Gu Chen said calmly, not wanting to negotiate too much with the other party.
Nangong Yue smiled warmly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Young master, I'll invite you first, so I won't disturb you too much, little lady."
"Um."
Gu Chen responded, then left with Liu Yun and others.
Looking at Gu Chen's retreating back, Nangong Yue's eyes showed a look that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
She was very sure that the man just now was Gu Chen.
Because when Xiankeju's gold and silver were stolen, he had an encounter with Jiang Heyan, and the guard next to him was the one who was standing next to Gu Chen just now.
but....
Why did King Zhuang come back to Qingshui County, Huzhou? !
And he actually came here in order not to reveal his identity to the magistrate here.
What is the purpose of his trip?
Could it be that they also came here because of the famine in Huzhou? !
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but frown, feeling a bad feeling in her heart.
After a moment of thinking, Nangong Yue looked at the few assassins around him and whispered: "You guys help me go over and keep an eye on the man in purple just now. Remember! Don't follow too close, lest his followers notice anything strange. .”
"Also, no matter where he goes or what he does, you must always come back and report to me!"
Several of the assassins were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads and responded, "Yes."
Although the matter was agreed to, they were still extremely puzzled.
After all, I won’t be able to stay in Huzhou for more than a few days this time. Shouldn’t we just finish the food store matters? !
Why did the princess ask them to keep an eye on a young man from an aristocratic family? !
Apart from his better temperament, this young man from an aristocratic family didn't see anything unusual about him.
And from the way the princess sounded, she seemed to take the young master of this family seriously, and even reminded them not to get too close.
You must know that they are also second-class guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and their strength is at the fourth level of warriors. It is impossible for ordinary minions to spot their clues.
But now that the princess has given the order, they, the servants, can only do their best to investigate what the princess has told them.
