Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Chapter 118

Hearing Gu Lang's questioning, the man in front of him immediately said: "It was the Zhao family who ordered them to do this, and they also charged money to do things, so they don't know why the Zhao family suddenly did this."

When Gu Lang heard this, he lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and then asked casually, "Is there any gain from staring at the people in the Chen family?"

The man thought for a while, then looked at the master in front of him, and replied: "The eldest son of Chen came back five days ago, and he went to Zhao's house after that. Because the matter is kept secret, not many people know about it."

Speaking of this, the man seemed to have suddenly realized something, looked up at the master in front of him, and saw him standing there expressionless, as if he had already guessed such an answer.

Sure enough, after listening to the man's report, Gu Lang directly ordered: "Someone go and check, is there anything in the Chen family's hands that could make the Zhao family afraid."

"Yes." The man agreed, and at the same time, he was secretly annoyed in his heart. They hadn't thought of such an obvious answer before.

Gu Lang continued: "Those people are useless, send them to the government and tell them everything they have done."

"Yes."

After giving these instructions, Gu Lang seemed to have thought of something again. He opened a drawer on the bookcase behind him, took out a stack of papers, handed it to the man in front of him, and ordered quietly: "Give these to the man in front of you." County magistrate, he should know what to do after seeing it."

"Yes."

Gu Lang waved his hand to let him go down to do some work, but he himself slowly turned his head to look at the empty drawer, and smiled softly, his voice showed a bit of sarcasm in the empty room.

Everyone thought that the reason why the Gu family suffered the disaster back then was because the Gu family was too rich, so they were spied on by the gangsters, which caused trouble for themselves.

But no one knows that it is true that the misfortune due to wealth is true, and that the gangster is false.What their Gu family recruited was not a wealthy wolf from outside, but a white-eyed wolf close to their family.

Back then, the head of the Gu family was kind-hearted, and on the way to play, she rescued a family that had been in distress. Seeing that most of them were old people and children, she brought them back and placed them in a remote courtyard, and planned to let them leave after they had recuperated.

Later, the master of the Gu family saw that the owner of the rescued person was very scheming and had a lot of insight into the way of doing business, so he loved him and lent money to them to open a store. Give support and help them grow bigger step by step.

It's a pity that people's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant.At that time, the county magistrate started coveting the Gu family's wealth, and after repeated extortions to no avail, coupled with the increasing pressure from the officials above, he gradually developed a crooked mind.

I don't know how that family colluded with the county magistrate. I only know that they reached an agreement, and then there was the tragedy of the Gu family, and then there was the first family in the county that suddenly became famous, Zhao Home.

It wasn't until Gu Lang came back that those dusty truths were gradually unearthed.The things that were taken out of the drawer just now are the evidences collected by Gu Lang after he came back.

Originally, Gu Lang planned to take things slowly, let the Zhao family suffer a little bit of decline, make them suffer even more frightening anxiety than Ling Chi, and let everything that the Gu family suffered be repeated on the Zhao family.

Just like a cat catching a mouse, after playing enough, he bites hard and eats it.

Gu Lang felt that he had the patience and the ability. He had been planning for this day for so many years, and it was not too short of time.

Gu Lang originally thought that way. He felt that if there were no accidents, everything would go according to his plan. He could even foresee the scene of the family who had avenged their kindness and revenge, crying and regretting in front of him.

However, when Gu Lang woke up from his drowsiness that day, felt the warmth under his palm, and looked at Chen Xing who did not forget to put his cheek on his hand when he fell asleep, he suddenly didn't want to do that.

At that moment, Gu Lang even felt that he heard a sigh from the bottom of his heart. He could play slowly with Zhao's family, but he couldn't stand Chen Xing's accident because of him.So, he compromised, he gave up his long-term planning, and chose a quick solution.

When thinking of this, Gu Lang's eyes were a little gloomy, and he was still vaguely unwilling, but then when his eyes fell on the wind chimes hanging not far away, they suddenly softened.

The string of wind chimes was bought from an old couple with gray hair that day when Chen Xing took Gu Lang out for a walk after dinner.

Until now, Gu Lang still remembers Chen Xing's happy look when he looked at him. He smiled and said to himself: "Gu Lang, you see they have been together for so long, we can be like them in the future."

Gu Lang remembered that at that time, he answered with incomparable certainty, "Yeah."

Chen Xing began to worry from the moment he stepped out of Gu's mansion. All the way, he was thinking that Gu Lang's health was not well yet, and whether there would be any accidents when Gu Lang was alone at home.

Chen Xing wanted to finish it early and go back early, so he went to the farthest stewed meat shop first, and before he got there, he saw the door of the shop, which was originally empty. People joined in, looking extraordinarily lively.

Hearing the yelling from the shop, and seeing the quick work in the shop cutting meat and collecting money, Chen Xing felt that he should not need to intervene here, so he turned around and went to the winery.

Seeing that the wine shop was also in good business, and after Qiu Jiu arranged everything in an orderly manner, he just said a few words and left.

Finally came to the small restaurant, looking at the people coming and going, Chen Xing raised his feet and walked straight in.

It was just that the moment Chen Xing entered the door, he saw Qiu Wu, the acting store manager, politely sending a middle-aged man out, and the man's face was depressed at this moment.

When Qiu Wu saw Chen Xing coming, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at him with some joy and said, "Little boss, why are you free today?"

Before Chen Xing could speak in the future, the man looked like a cat that smelled fishy, ​​and fixed his eyes on Chen Xing, and then his eyes seemed to emit light, and he said happily to Chen Xing: " Boss Chen, long time no see!"

Chen Xing watched him staring at him happily, but felt a little baffled, because he didn't seem to have this person in his memory, so why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic about him.

The man didn't seem to notice Chen Xing's indifference. He looked at Chen Xing with a smile on his face, rubbed his hands together and said, "Boss Chen, I was the shopkeeper Wu who supplied goods to your store."

Chen Xing had a little impression of this, but he remembered that shopkeeper Wu was also one of the suppliers who refused to supply them under the duress of the Chen family.Since they refused to supply the goods that time, Chen Xing and his shop have not continued to do business with shopkeeper Wu, but they don't know what he is doing this time.

Just when Chen Xing was about to ask about the specific situation, Qiu Wu, who was standing aside, spoke first, and he smiled politely at Shopkeeper Wu, but there was a bit of doubt in his tone, "Treasurer Wu , we have enough ingredients for this period of time, and we don’t need other suppliers for the time being. If necessary, we will send people to your store to buy them. It’s not too early today, please come back, shopkeeper Wu !"

Looking at the still clear sky outside, shopkeeper Wu couldn't tell what Qiuwu meant to see off the guests.It's just that he looked at Chen Xing and saw that he was only looking at the situation in the store and didn't pay attention to the situation here at all, let alone say a word to let him stay.

Shopkeeper Wu sighed, finally greeted Chen Xing, turned and left.

After shopkeeper Wu left, Qiuwu explained to him the reason why shopkeeper Wu came this time. It turned out that shopkeeper Wu's business has been getting more and more sluggish recently. Chen's small restaurant.

Their current supply of ingredients has fixed channels, and Qiuwu rejected the proposal of shopkeeper Wu to continue supplying them, so the one just came out.

Regarding Qiuwu's approach, Chen Xing nodded his head and considered that it was over. After all, he didn't have much affection for such a man who followed the wind, but he couldn't do things that made things worse, so he could only ignore him. up.

Chen Xing stayed in the store for a while, went to the kitchen to have a look, and taught the chef in charge of a simple dish that was easy to copy. After confirming that there was no place for himself, he went to the dessert shop not far away to buy After picking up Gu Lang's favorite pastry, he went back to Gu's mansion.

After returning to Gu's mansion, Chen Xing went back to his room and changed his clothes, then went to the kitchen to light a fire and put the medicine that Gu Lang wanted to drink later into the medicine pot to cook.

While fanning the fire, Chen Xing was thinking about how long it would take for the medicine to recover, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the door.He turned his head and looked over, only to see Gu Lang who was wearing a plain white gown and a thin cape came in.

As soon as Chen Xing saw that it was him, he quickly put down the fan in his hand and walked up to Gu Lang, holding his hand and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Gu Lang lowered his head and looked at him, his slightly pale face was still a little less bloody, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was gentle, he said: "Didn't you tell me to remember to take the medicine on time when you left? I looked at the time It's almost there, so I came here to prepare the decoction, but I didn't expect that you were already here, why did you come back so early?"

Chen Xing pulled Gu Lang to sit in a leeward place and asked him to sit properly, making sure that he would not be blown by the wind outside, then looked at him and said, "I went for a tour today, and all the guys in the shop do it. It was good, so I came back early."

Chen Xing told Gu Lang what he saw and heard when he went out, while paying attention to the fire of boiling the medicine, when the time was almost up, he poured out the medicine and put it in front of Gu Lang.

Looking at the medicine that still smelled of bitterness, Chen Xing suddenly thought of something again, and quickly took the package of desserts he bought when he came back, put it in front of Gu Lang, and smiled brightly at him, "Originally I was I planned to bring you the medicine later, and I will bring it to you together, but I didn't expect you to come here by yourself, and after drinking the medicine, I just happened to be eating sweet mouth."

Gu Lang lowered his head and glanced at the few desserts in Chen Xing's hand. They were all his favorite and hard to buy desserts. Obviously, Chen Xing spent a lot of effort to buy them.Thinking of this, Gu Lang raised his head and showed Chen Xing an intoxicating smile.
