Chapter 012 Detecting Anomalies
Second Young Master Qi also wanted to make friends with Gu Zhao. In his opinion, what happened two years ago was indeed discouraging. It is not too much for Gu Zhao to be so defensive this time.
Two years ago, Gu Zhao and Song Ze stayed in the same room as the other candidates, so it was impossible not to pay attention to eating before the exam, but the two of them got the trick when everyone else was fine, so the possibility of an accident is a bit low when you think about it carefully.
Of course, he hopes that Gu Zhao's development will get better and better in the future, which is also beneficial to the Qi family. It would be even better if Gu Zhao can enter the officialdom, and he can echo each other in the officialdom with his uncle and brother. Of course, it is too early to say these words First of all, Gu Zhao had to pass the county examination and get the title of Tongsheng.
Within two days, Second Young Master Qi sent them over in person. A woman was in charge of cooking, and one of the two servants acted as Gu Zhao's book boy, and the other was responsible for the personal safety of the house and Gu Zhao. After Second Young Master Qi left, Gu Zhao The three of them made another arrangement. He didn't need anyone to wait around him. He hoped that the three of them would help him keep an eye on the surrounding situation and see if anyone was keeping an eye on his whereabouts.
Gu Zhao was not worried that this arrangement would reach Qi Er Shao's ears, so let's just treat him as a little nervous, anyway, he doesn't mind doing something else at this time.
As Gu Zhao expected, Er Shao Qi knew about these arrangements. He was a little surprised, and said to his confidant Li Wen, "Is this Mr. Gu..."
Qi Er Shao didn't know how to describe Gu Zhao, should it be said that Gu Zhao had persecution paranoia?
Li Wen followed the young master to Gu Zhao's place to bring back the icing sugar. The quality of the twenty catties of icing sugar did not decrease at all. The young master was very satisfied. He thought for a while and said, "Young master Gu doesn't look like someone who is too careful, maybe Something really happened."
Qi Ershao nodded: "You are right. I have dealt with Gu Zhao several times, and I feel that he is more straightforward than ordinary scholars. Maybe there is something really wrong. Since Mr. Gu is so defensive, it is better to have more Point, Li Wen, you arrange a few people to help watch the point, and report to me in time if there is anything unusual."
"Okay, Second Young Master, the younger one will arrange it now."
After borrowing the help of Second Young Master Qi to make arrangements, Gu Zhao was able to make final preparations for the exam with peace of mind, and stopped asking about other nosy matters. He didn't believe that after all this was going on, someone could do something about it. It's not that he can deal with it now, so why not go home and farm as soon as possible.
Gu Zhao's attitude was frank, and he didn't bother to ask after he arranged the matter. After three days, it was the woman who specially cooked for Gu Zhao who finally discovered the abnormality, but she didn't know whether to tell Mr. Gu.
"What do you think we should do? The exam is about to take place, Mr. Gu is at a crucial time, would it be wrong to disturb Mr. Gu at this time?"
This woman's surname is Li. When she used her identity to go out to buy vegetables, she quickly established a relationship with her neighbors. Women of her age like gossip the most, and she collected information from these gossips. information, it turned out that she heard that someone really inquired about Mr. Gu who rented here.
"But Mr. Gu said that if you find something, you should tell him." Another person said naively.
"Tell me what? What are you talking about?" Gu Zhao, who came out to stretch, just heard the last sentence.
The three of them glanced at each other, and there was no need to be entangled now, so Mrs. Li came over and told Gu Zhao the news.
Gu Zhao's lazy waist was half stretched and froze there, and he slowly lowered his arms and said in surprise: "There is really someone there."
The three of them are confused, isn't it Mr. Gu himself who wants to be on guard?
Gu Zhao didn't notice their expressions, walked into the yard, twisted his waist and kicked his legs, and asked, "Tell me about the specific situation."
"Oh, okay." Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to tell Gu Zhao the specific situation. After the second young master told them to come over, they would all listen to Mr. Gu. Then Mr. Gu couldn't hide anything from her when he asked her. .
According to the information collected by Mrs. Li, three days after Gu Zhao moved in, someone came to this residential area to inquire about Gu Zhao's situation intentionally or unintentionally. Later, this person came twice. According to the woman, this person was a follower. Her mother-in-law, who was about the same age, did not ask other people for the next two times, but came to find a man named Tian Shan. The woman also said that if it wasn't because the woman was not young, she would have thought this woman It's Tian Shan's good friend, and Tian Shan is a local guy who has been idle all day long, a bachelor who is almost 30 years old and hasn't married a wife.
Hearing these things, Gu Zhao just raised his eyebrows, and didn't stop twisting his waist and kicking his legs. The three of them, Mrs. Li, admired him for being so calm.
For Gu Zhao, this is equivalent to the second boot that he was waiting for finally hit the ground, let him know that someone is really watching him, he can't understand, he is a farm boy, he is in the way of someone, and he wants to do it so big He, judging from what happened two years ago, the other party obviously didn't want him to stand out, and wanted to block his way to the imperial examination, but thinking carefully about the experience of the past ten years, Gu Zhao can only say, could it be that he committed murder and set fire in his previous life? , That's why the enemies stared at him so much?
No, his last life was the last life. In that kind of environment, how could it be his turn for an ordinary person to kill, set fire and do all kinds of evil? At best, he was only self-protection and self-defense.
"Grandma Li is amazing, you can find out such specific information so quickly, so the next thing you need to do is to find out what is the origin of the woman you found, why is she staring at me, and help me stare at that woman What about Tianshan?"
"Yes, young master, young master, do you want to tell our second young master about this?" The book boy responded immediately.
"Did Er Shao Qi know what I asked you to do? Then tell you Er Shao is defenseless. I borrowed from you to accept Er Shao's love. It's the same if I owe you more."
The book boy agreed with a grin, saying that Mr. Gu has a good temper, and he no longer thinks Mr. Gu is suspicious and neurotic. This shows that someone really wants to harm Mr. Gu, but fortunately Mr. Gu is alert enough.
The book boy took the time to go back to Qi's mansion that day, and told Second Young Master Qi about this. Second Young Master Qi was just as surprised as they were. He didn't expect to catch a tail, and then Second Young Master Qi took over the investigation of the woman. , lest they startle the snake, the book boy brought these words back to Gu Zhao, Gu Zhao was so satisfied, so they just need to stare at the man named Tian Shan.
Sure enough, this kind of thing needs to be done by local snakes, otherwise it would take Gu Zhao alone to track down the whereabouts and identity of the woman. He came to meet Gu Zhao himself, because the results of the investigation also surprised him.
After Qi Er Shao came over, he just looked at Gu Zhao and didn't speak. The old god Gu Zhao continued to read the book on the ground, just read it, he won't lose a piece of meat.
Second Young Master Qi suddenly laughed: "Young Master Gu, aren't you worried about the people staring at you?"
Gu Zhao smiled slightly: "Worry is all about worry, but you can't affect your life because of worry. Can the second young master say it? Isn't that woman's background simple?"
He had already guessed that, according to Mrs. Li's description, that woman's clothes didn't look like ordinary people's, which made Gu Zhao more and more puzzled, but if he couldn't figure it out, he just put it aside and waited for the results of the investigation, so as not to delay his study time .
