Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Chapter 207 Lure the snake out of its hole

Two days later, the weather was fine.

The transport ship docked at the Yongzhou City Pier.

From one ship at the start, six ships docked in succession, which also attracted a lot of attention.

As soon as the luxurious ship appeared at the dock, it attracted curious eyes from all sides, including the rats in the dark.

However, the nobleman on the ship showed no sign of getting off the ship, and the crowd could not keep staring at him. They could only follow the crowd and pretend to be busy at the dock.

All of this was seen by Bai Qing and the Sixth Elder who were holding telescopes.

……

The boat gang is a major force on the water in Daqing. Although its headquarters is not in Yongzhou City, it does have branches.

The ship docked at the territory belonging to the gang. The nobleman had already mixed in with the gang members and got off the ship. After disguising himself, he followed the people on other ships at the dock and dispersed into Yongzhou City.

After everyone walked away, a middle-aged woman appeared above the luxurious ship, holding a flag and giving orders.

Afterwards, the crowd on the boat and at the dock suddenly became panic-stricken, and many people were knocked to the ground or knocked unconscious by the people next to them.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the person who turned around and tried to escape was restrained by the person who jumped down from the boat.

Afterwards, the person who was knocked unconscious slowly woke up, and together with the person who had struck him, they escorted the person who was restrained later to the boat gang...

The Sixth Elder put away the flag and sneered. Today's flag signal: Lure the snake out of its hole.

……

The inner city of Yongzhou.

It was noon and the taverns and restaurants along the street were full of guests.

After sailing for many days, I got off the boat and stepped foot into the bustling city. I could smell the strong smell of fireworks.

No matter how good the chef's cooking skills are on the ship, the ingredients are limited. After eating fish feasts for many days, every burp will smell like seafood.

Li Jiaojiao and Lu Liang brought Bai Ze, Su Xin, Qing You and Qing Dai to the restaurant with the most people and went straight to the private room upstairs.

The private room was arranged in advance by the boat gang, and the dishes had already been ordered. They were all the restaurant's signature dishes, and the most important thing was that they had nothing to do with fish.

They often go out on boats, and when they come to land from the boats, they know very well what they want most.

"Sir, Madam, please enjoy your meal. I'll be leaving first. Feel free to call me if you have any instructions." The waiter left and tactfully closed the door.

"Madam, come and try the drunken pork ribs. How do they compare to the ones from Zuixianlou?" Lu Liang picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork ribs for Li Jiaojiao and put it in the bowl.

Li Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Liang, picked up the ribs in the bowl, and took a bite. "It tastes good, but it's still a little less cooked than Zuixianlou."

Then, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the handkerchief beside her and wiped her hands, "There's no need to guard here. You guys, go to the lobby downstairs, order a table, and have your meal." She put down the handkerchief, took out a purse from her empty sleeve, and threw it to Su Xin, who was standing closest to her.

Su Xin subconsciously took the thing the girl threw over, and found a heavy purse in her hand. Then she realized, "Girl..." She raised her eyes and wanted to tell the girl that she was not hungry, but then she thought of the girl's temper, and the words on her lips became, "Yes, thank you very much, young lady."

The other three looked at each other in shock, especially Bai Ze, who looked incredulous. Is there such a good thing? Then they realized something and said in unison: "Subordinates, thank you, young lady."

"Well, go ahead, order more dishes, whatever you want to eat. You have money, so you don't have to save it." Li Jiaojiao waved at the people who were smiling happily.

Suxin, Qingdai, Qingyou: ...It is their blessing to have a girl!

Bai Ze: ... I finally understand why Mo Xie wanted to be transferred to the girl's side as a maid. This treatment is simply amazing.

"Yes, thank you, Miss! I'll take my leave!" Everyone thanked him again. Bai Ze shouted especially loudly, trying to wake up the sleeping young master. Can you learn more from the lady? Dear young master...

A few people went out and closed the door, leaving only Lu Liang and Li Jiaojiao inside.

"You are very nice to them." Lu Liang helped Li Jiaojiao serve the dishes slowly. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he still looked noble.

"I just don't like someone watching me while I eat." Li Jiaojiao always says this stubbornly.

I can't say that I'm used to everyone being equal. That's too bad...

"The recent situation of the Guo family is not very optimistic." Lu Liang did not expose it and changed the subject at the right time.

"What do you mean? Could it be that someone else died? Could it be that Guo Ziheng's father is already dead?" Li Jiaojiao said casually. This is the disadvantage of not being well-informed.

She learned about the "curse" of the Guo family from Guo Ziheng, but because she was not completely sure, she did not ask Guo Ziheng too much.

Now the matter of coming to Yongzhou City was kept secret from Guo Ziheng.

As for the people around her, except for that group of women, the rest were given by Lu Liang in order to protect her, and they were unable to go out to investigate more information.

Therefore, I have no idea what the current situation of the Guo family is.

In this age of information blockade, if you want to know anything other than what you can see with your eyes, you have to spend a huge amount of manpower and resources.

From this we can also see the importance of Wangque Tower.

"Since the curse on the Guo family was reported, they have gradually faded from the public eye. There is not much that can be found out about the current situation of the Guo family.

However, Wangque Tower has clear records of some things. The head of the Guo family, Guo Biao, Guo Ziheng's father, should be nearly 40 years old. "

Lu Liang put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked calmly at the carved wooden windows along the street. The windows were half-closed, so people inside could see outside, but people outside could not see inside.

"Why didn't I hear Guo Ziheng mention it? And why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Jiaojiao put down her chopsticks and was about to get up. She had no intention of eating anymore.

"Don't worry, he's not dead yet. As for why I didn't tell you earlier, it was because I just received the news. The Guo family has been lying about Guo Biao's age to the outside world, and even Guo Biao's two younger brothers have lied about their ages." Lu Liang took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jiaojiao.

Li Jiaojiao took the note and quickly glanced at it. Hmm, she couldn't recognize it all... "Why did they do this? They lied about their age and hid it from God in an attempt to avoid the disaster of turning forty?"

It’s not Li Jiaojiao’s fault for having such wild thoughts. It’s just that the people here believe in these weird and supernatural things.

Even in the previous life, I have heard stories about avoiding the old year.

It is said that if you hide in an underground cellar on New Year’s Eve and come out on the second day of the New Year, the gods who send away the new year will send you one year less...commonly known as hiding from the old year.

“That’s not the case. If it were so easy to pass, it wouldn’t be called a curse.

I guess they wanted to hide it from the younger generation in the family, that is, Guo Ziheng. Guo Ziheng is the only child of the direct line of the Guo family. His second uncle and third uncle have not yet started a family. "

"If you lie about your age, you will never escape the attention of those who have ulterior motives. Anyone who is older will know the year when the Guo family had a baby.

Wangquelou noticed something was wrong because the Guo family's business had been severely eroded recently, but the Guo family did not respond and instead stayed indoors.

After checking, we found that Guo Biao was nearly 40 years old. "

“I think what they are doing now is probably to protect Guo Ziheng who is in Beijing and they don’t want him to know what’s going on at home.

Guo Ziheng is the newly crowned top scholar and is now working in the Ministry of Personnel. His future is limitless and he may have more opportunities and possibilities in the future.

That would be the highest position their Guo family would ever hold in the court, and perhaps it would be able to solve the problem of the curse.

But if he returns home to mourn at this time, he may not have a place in the court three years later. " Lu Liang's expression was indifferent, and he revealed the current situation of the Guo family in a few words.

"Then if people find out that Guo's father has died, but Guo Ziheng has not been in mourning, will Guo Ziheng be accused of being disloyal and unfilial?"

"Yes, but I believe that the Guo family should have a way to deal with it. I just don't know how they plan to do it."
