Chapter 272 273. Chase

Bai Jinglie looked at him with suspicion. Why did it sound so weird that he liked to hang out in the harem?

Hua Shunming, "If you are fine, kneel down and greet me. I still have many memorials to deal with."

Bai Jinglie, "When will I be allowed to take office?"

After two years of hard work, he was finally promoted from a minor official to the position of prefect and deputy prefect. However, the documents that took him to take office had been withheld for such a long time, so he had no choice but to find them today.

"After this Enke, with you here, you will be more likely to attract those people's attention." Hua Shunming stated his purpose without any concealment.

"You're using me as a shield again?" Bai Jinglie sighed, "Last time you told others that I cried and begged to give you my share. I was almost fed up with the old man at home, and he asked me to give him some share in some ways."

It would be fine to say that, but you should tell me the proportion of the distribution. Now many people think they get the largest share and want to bite off a piece of meat from him.

Sometimes he even envied Gu Wenheng. Although he contributed this thing and occupied the smallest share, this man didn't have to worry about anything and just held the banknotes in his hand.

On the contrary, he has basically been working hard for these two people in the past two years.

"Gu Wenheng should arrive in Beijing in a few days," Hua Shunming was not indifferent to Gu Wenheng and knew all about his situation.

When Bai Jinglie thought of Gu Wenheng, he thought of the banknotes that were sent out regularly. "I haven't seen him for more than two years. He has a good brain and likes to follow the rules in everything he does. Ordinary people can't outwit him."

Hua Shunming, "I want to see how he performs in this exam. If he works hard, I will promise him a bright future."

If it were someone else, Hua Shunming would naturally not make these promises, but after two or three years of getting to know someone, it is enough to understand a person's character.

Plus, this person is not without weaknesses, so he feels he can control him better.

Bai Jinglie, "..." I really feel worried for Gu Wenheng. His good days are probably coming to an end. Someone has long been thinking of treating him like a slave.

"Kneel down and greet me! While you are still in the capital, I will ask the Queen to send some portraits to you."

Bai Jinglie's heart trembled, "... is she also the daughter of a military commander?"

Hua Shunming ignored him. Eunuch Le, who had been standing quietly by the side, came over, stood in front of him, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." Bai Jinglie could only slowly retreat with confusion.

As soon as we entered Beijing, Jiang Zhongfu and his men were already waiting at the city gate.

"Master, Madam." Seeing Gu Wenheng lifting the curtain, Jiang Zhongfu hurried to the car window, "The house has been cleaned up, do you want to go back first?"

Gu Wenheng was also very curious about Shangjing, and asked Ye San to help him find the courtyard here. After getting the feng shui map of the courtyard, Jin Qianqian designed it herself, and then everything else was handled by Butler Fu.

"Let's go! Let's go see how you guys are doing."

Jiang Zhongfu looked anxious, not knowing whether what he did would satisfy the master and his mistress.

Jin Qianqian also looked at the tall city wall curiously, and could vaguely see the soldiers standing on the wall.

"Go away, don't block the road." Suddenly, the sound of whips came from the side, and someone was shouting loudly.

"Master, let's step aside first." Butler Fu, who had been in Beijing all these days, knew that some dignitaries should not be offended, so he waved to Hong Da and others to drive the car aside.

Before they could retreat, the man swung his whip at them, scaring the horses in the second carriage behind, which immediately kicked up their hooves and charged forward.

"Master, be careful." Jiang Zhongfu screamed and ran forward quickly, trying to pull away the horse in front of him, but it was too late.

Hong Da's movements were faster than Butler Fu's. He ran forward with the whip in his hand, and then quickly controlled the horse to the side, narrowly avoiding the collision with the frightened horse.

The guards who were originally guarding the team also chased after them on horseback, and more than a dozen horses surrounded Gu Wenheng and his carriage.

Jin Qianqian's face changed in the carriage, "Madame Duan and the others are still in the carriage, hurry up and send someone to chase them."

Gu Wenheng immediately opened the curtain, stuck his head out and shouted to Lin Dapeng, "Quick, catch up."

Who knew that the man on horseback, whipping his horse, was still there shouting, "Everyone, get out of the way! You're blocking our lady's way."

He chased after them on horseback, looked at Gu Wenheng and said, "Is this convoy yours? Hurry and ask them to get out of the way."

"You were the one who whipped me just now?" Gu Wenheng stared at him, his aura fully revealed. "Who are you from?"

Li Ping was completely stunned, wondering if he was in trouble this time. Which powerful family had he offended?

Gu Wenheng did not give him a chance to think, and ordered the guards who were still standing there in a daze, "Hurry up and go over to check, don't let Madam Duan and the others get hurt."

Guard Lin Peng hesitated, looking at Li Ping who was still holding the whip, "But the master and his wife are here..."

Gu Wenheng pointed at a few people and said, "Go after them, quickly."

With such a reaction speed, Gu Wenheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seems that a simple guard team is not enough, and the response capability must be improved.

When the guards caught up on horseback, Gu Wenheng turned to look at Li Ping and asked, "Can you introduce yourself now?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I was just being naughty and scared you. Please go first." Li Ping felt a little flustered by his gaze and quietly backed away, pulling the leash.

Gu Wenheng was standing in the front yard. His gorgeous clothes and imposing manner made Li Ping feel even more guilty. This time, he was accompanying his wife to Beijing. He didn't think he would cause trouble for the adults at home as soon as he arrived at the city gate.

"You'd better pray that nothing happens to our carriage. Otherwise, no matter who you are, I will always come to your door to demand justice."

Li Ping secretly looked back at his wife's carriage, only to find that a corner of the carriage curtain was fluttering in the wind.

"Li Ping, Madam asks you what's going on here? Why have you stopped here for so long?" At this time, another strong man came on horseback. He was shocked when he saw Gu Wenheng standing on the front shaft of the carriage and the guards who were protecting him.

"You kid, have you caused trouble for the lady again?" The man seemed to have some grudge against Li Ping and directly put the blame on Li Ping.

"No, I was just waving the whip and scared the carriage. I didn't do it on purpose." Li Ping didn't dare to be stubborn this time, but he was still pushing the responsibility away.

Jin Qianqian listened quietly to the noise outside. Seeing that the carriage had not been caught up for such a long time, she became a little anxious. She patted Luo Luo's head soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Luo Luo. Look, your brother is also very brave and is sleeping soundly."

Gu Benluo hugged Jin Qianqian's arms tightly, "Mom, don't be afraid, Luoluo will protect you."
