Chapter 1720: Where Did You Hide Him?Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong saw that Han Yao was putting on an act. After the subordinate was slapped, he immediately lowered his head and apologized. His attitude was very sincere.
"Pfft..." Gu Yundong snorted and finally put away the crossbow. She looked at Han Yao and said, "You’d better be more careful next time. This is not the marquis family’s fief. This is the Xuanhe Prefecture. You can’t do whatever you want. What if you develop a habit in the future and break into someone’s house when you go to the capital? That would be a joke."
Han Yao’s expression turned extremely ugly. Was she trying to say that his marquis family did not have much power, but they had quite a bit of pomp and circumstances?
This woman...
He smiled and cupped his hands. "I’ve learned something."
With that, he left with his subordinates.
As soon as Han Yao left, Constable Jian pursed his lips. When he turned around, he immediately gave Gu Yundong a thumbs up.
"Madam Shao is good. Only you would dare to face him head-on. You don’t even know how troublesome this marquis family is. They want us to arrange for guards, help capture assassins, and serve them well. Their attitude is so bossy that they really treat this as their own fief. But the problem is that Marquis Pingnan’s fief isn’t big, right? What’s there to be smug about?"
Gu Yundong smiled. "After staying in their own fief for so long, they thought that they could really be in charge. They think too highly of themselves."
As a local tyrant, over time, he had automatically removed the ’local’.
Constable Jian nodded in agreement. This was the Xuanhe Prefecture. If not for the fact that Marquis Pingnan had been poisoned and was in his territory, the prefecture magistrate would not have ignored them.
Recently, he had a lot of things to do. Marquis Pingnan even bothered him again and again.
Marquis Pingnan was not the only dignitary in the current Xuanhe Prefecture.
"Mrs. Shao, since there’s nothing else here, we’ll take our leave first. Please don’t mind us for disturbing you earlier."
Gu Yundong waved her hand. "It’s alright. You can go about your business. You’re searching for the assassin not only for the sake of the marquis family, but also for the citizens of our prefectural city. It’s been hard on you. Don’t worry, if I see anyone suspicious, I’ll definitely send them to the government office for you to deal with."
She was giving herself a way out. After all, if she changed her mind later and felt that the unconscious man was not a good person, she would send him to the government office.
Constable Jian cupped his hands. "In that case, I’ll thank Madam Shao first."
After saying that, he walked out of the backyard with a few constables.
When he went out, he happened to see Tong Shuitao bringing Doctor Xiong over.
When the two sides met, they were stunned for a moment. However, Tong Shuitao quickly helped Doctor Xiong in and asked anxiously, "Miss, Doctor Xiong is here. How’s Little Six?"
Before Gu Yundong could answer, Little Six spoke first. "I’m fine."
"Little Six, you’re awake. You scared me to death just now. I thought something had happened to you. You have to be careful next time. Don’t be distracted, especially since this courtyard is filled with tools."
Constable Jian listened to them and shook his head with a smile. He strode to the next house to search.
Doctor Xiong entered and immediately checked Little Six’s injuries.
Gu Yundong asked Tong Shuitao to close the door and hurried to the shop in front.
When she went in to take a look, there was indeed no sign of the stranger.
She asked Little Six, who was sitting in the courtyard, curiously, "Where did you hide him?"
Little Six shook his head and smiled. "I didn’t hide him."
