Chapter 346: Divert away
Chapter 346: Divert away
Lin Shuyue's heart tightened and she looked up at Luo Bingwen.
Luo Bingwen looked solemn as he continued, "After interrogating Wang Gao last night, I suddenly remembered that Wang Gao had said that the men in black would send someone to keep an eye on him.
We did not hide the fact that we suppressed the bandits yesterday. If there was really someone keeping an eye on Wang Gao or Tianlang Village, they would definitely know that Gousheng had been rescued from the mountain.
They intend to destroy Gousheng and will definitely not allow Gousheng to live a normal life.
Therefore, I speculate that in order to achieve their goal, they are very likely to take action again and take Gousheng away from the county government office.
Thinking of this, I immediately ordered Ah Huai to quietly transfer Gou Sheng to a heavily guarded dungeon.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, a man in black came to the backyard of the county government office and went straight to the room where Gousheng lived.
I had already ordered my men to lie in ambush in the room, waiting for him. Unfortunately, the opponent was very skilled, and my guards were unable to stop him.
Luo Bingwen's tone was full of regret, but he did find out some things from this fight.
“According to my guards, the opponent’s attacks were brutal and all his moves were lethal. After realizing he had fallen into a trap, he retreated without delay.
Acting this way, he doesn't seem like an ordinary guard, but more like a death squad hired by a powerful family."
Luo Bingwen pronounced the last two words very lightly.
Lin Shuyue's heart also skipped a beat. She had not expected that the child she had casually rescued from the bandits' lair had such a complicated life story and had caused so much trouble.
If she guessed correctly, that group of people should have already set their sights on her. After all, it was she who ruined their plans, and there was no way they would let her go.
Even if the person behind the scenes gets angry and embarrassed, the county magistrate Luo Bingwen may be implicated.
Luo Bingwen shared the same view as her.
"They won't give up. I'm worried that if they can't find Gou Sheng, they'll be desperate and take their anger out on you, young man."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Shuyue and said earnestly, "While their attention is focused on Gou Sheng and they haven't found you yet, I suggest you leave Yaojiang County as soon as possible."
What he didn't mention was the matter of the three boxes of official silver. It was obvious that the power behind this matter must be related to the capital.
It was he who asked Young Master Lin to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, which forced her into danger. No matter what, he had to let her leave safely.
Lin Shuyue was silent for a moment as she stared at the curling mist. Then she looked up at him and said, "As long as Gousheng doesn't leave Yaojiang County, the county government won't have peace. How do you plan to deal with Gousheng? What if they become desperate and attack you directly..."
Luo Bingwen waved his hand to interrupt her, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then put it down steadily. Then he said, "Don't worry, young man. I have the Luo family behind me. They dare not attack me openly. As for Gou Sheng..."
He looked at the koi fish that jumped out from the screen and said thoughtfully, "After the young man leaves, I will send someone to send him to Jiangnan.
I have a good friend who is the magistrate of Wu County in Lizhou, Jiangnan. I would like to ask him to take care of me and raise me as an ordinary child."
As for the child's background, he really could not do anything about it.
Although the Luo family is a prominent family in Wangzhou, it is not worth mentioning in the capital. Saving his life is already a huge risk.
"inappropriate."
Lin Shuyue shook her head and explained to the somewhat puzzled Luo Bingwen, "The fact that they were able to send out death squads shows that Gousheng is extremely important to them.
Before the dog is found, your every move will be under their surveillance, and they will notice as soon as you move.
By then, not only will Gousheng be able to reach Jiangnan safely, but even your friends might be implicated."
Luo Bingwen: "So what do you mean, young man?"
"Leave him to me." Lin Shuyue looked straight into Luo Bingwen's eyes.
"Lin has a way to lure them out of Yaojiang County and then out of their sight."
This was a decision Lin Shuyue made after careful consideration. She was the one who brought Gousheng down the mountain, so let her solve this trouble.
Luo Bingwen hesitated, "But this is too dangerous..."
"Lord Luo, there's no need to worry. People from the martial arts world always have some tricks up their sleeves when they go out." Lin Shuyue said calmly, with a look of indifference in her eyes, as if those people were completely out of her sight.
This is not because she is blindly confident. With her current skills, dealing with a few rats in the gutter is too easy.
Besides, she had never revealed her true identity throughout the journey, so she didn't have to worry about them finding out about her family and implicating them.
Seeing that she didn't look reluctant, Luo Bingwen stood up and bowed to her, "Young Master Lin, your generosity is immense. I am deeply grateful to you."
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Lin Shuyue and Luo Bingwen discussed it and decided to take Gousheng out of the city openly in the afternoon and lead those people out of Yaojiang County.
However, before that, Lin Shuyue planned to communicate with Gousheng first.
After calling Gousheng over, she did not hide anything, but told him the whole story and the subsequent arrangements in detail.
After two days of observation, she knew that although Gousheng, who was only six years old, had no memories of the past, his thinking was more mature than that of other children of the same age.
Instead of hiding it, it is better to tell him the truth so that he can be mentally prepared.
After hearing this, Gousheng was only briefly flustered, but soon calmed down.
However, he was still a child after all, and when he heard that he had caused trouble to others, the guilt on his face was obvious.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would cause you trouble." Tears welled up in Gousheng's dark eyes.
"This is not your fault. You don't have to feel guilty." Luo Bingwen comforted gently.
Lin Shuyue squatted down, looked him in the eyes and said seriously, "Gou Sheng, do you believe me?"
"Yes, I believe in my brother. It was my brother who rescued me from the bandits' lair. My brother is Gousheng's benefactor." Gousheng nodded seriously with a stern face.
Lin Shuyue smiled and touched his head, without saying anything more. After saying goodbye to Luo Bingwen, the three of them, master and servant, took Gou Sheng out of Ruyi Residence.
Considering that Gousheng had no change of clothes, Lin Shuyue took him to a clothing store and bought him some clothes that looked inconspicuous but were made of soft fabrics, and also bought him a few pairs of shoes.
After returning to the inn, Qinghe and Qingzhi tacitly found an excuse to take Gousheng to their room, while Lin Shuyue returned to her room and took out the luggage that she would need next from the space.
After all, Gousheng is here, so he will definitely not be able to take things out of the space as easily as before on the next journey.
After packing the luggage, Qinghe and Qingzhi swiftly loaded the luggage onto the carriage, and then checked out of the hotel with the shopkeeper. The four of them drove the carriage hurriedly towards the west city gate.
They left in a hurry, and it took them less than a quarter of an hour from returning to the inn to checking out. If you didn't know, you would think they were running for their lives.
