Chapter 341 Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free



"Gentlemen, would you like to dine? Please come in quickly; our shop has fresh and delicious food," Gu Yun Chu said to the two.

Gu Yun Chu asked this question because the two of them were standing at the door and didn't seem to have any intention of going in to eat.

The two ignored Gu Yun Chu and stood in front of the portrait of Chang'an drawn by Gu Li Li at the door.

"Why does this person look so much like His Highness?" Wei Yue frowned slightly as he looked at the portrait in front of him.

It's similar, but not quite.

Wei Yin was also frowning as he looked at the portrait in front of him.

“Your Highness isn’t that thin, nor that dark-skinned. And Your Highness’s eyes don’t look that honest and simple!” Gu Yin shook his head and said.

This is nothing like their prince. Not to mention how fair-skinned he is, just look at his sharp eyes, and no one dares to meet his gaze.

The two of them simply couldn't believe that their prince would be so honest and unassuming.

The person in the portrait does resemble His Highness in appearance, but their temperament is vastly different.

Gu Yun Chu watched the two people standing in front of the portrait whispering to each other and assumed they knew Chang An.

Just as he was about to go up and continue the conversation, he was called inside by the loud shouts of the customers in the restaurant.

Gu Yun Chu had no choice but to hurry back to the restaurant to see what the guests wanted.

Wei Yue and Wei Yin stood outside the door for a long time, muttering to themselves, before deciding to ask Gu Yun Chu, who had just been standing next to them.

When she turned around, she found that Gu Yun Chu was no longer there.

"Brother, shall we go in and ask that waiter?" Wei Yin asked tentatively.

Wei Yin didn't suggest having a meal together.

They have been searching for the person for several months, enduring hardships and sleeping outdoors every day.

Although the aroma inside is indeed tempting, finding His Highness is the priority.

I passed by this restaurant today and saw the portrait on the wall, so I quickly came over to take a look.

Wei Yin felt that although the person in the portrait resembled His Highness, it could not be the same person.

But even if it's not the same person, we should still ask.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

Wei Yue nodded, and the two walked inside.

Baiweixuan was unusually busy today, and the two of them couldn't get a word in edgewise to ask Gu Yun Chu.

Moreover, Huang Zhixiong inexplicably led him to a table and made him order several dishes.

Looking at the three dishes and soup in front of him, Wei Yin felt a surge of guilt welling up from the bottom of his heart.

His Highness's fate is still unknown, how can they be sitting comfortably in a restaurant having a meal?

"Sigh! Let's eat first. We'll have the energy to keep searching when we're full," Wei Yue said with a sigh.

Filled with remorse, the two ate five bowls of rice in a row.

Wei Yue felt that this was the best meal he had ever eaten in his life.

Huang Zhixiong would also recommend some of Baiweixuan's signature dishes.

The two put down their bowls and chopsticks, and looking at the empty dishes, a feeling of guilt welled up again.

"Would you like another pot of tea, sir?" Gu Yun Chu asked as she watched the two finish their meal.

Just now, the two of them were looking at Chang'an's portrait at the door, and Gu Yun Chu wanted to ask them if they knew Chang'an.

However, Gu Yun Chu glanced sideways at the two swords under the table and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The two men were dressed in black, had such cold eyes, and carried weapons with them.

Could this be an assassin?!

This immediately reminded Gu Yun Chu of the origin of Chang'an; he was rescued from the vast ocean by his sister.

Moreover, Chang'an is both literate and martial; my sister once said that his identity is probably not simple.

Could it be that Chang'an is like those legitimate sons in operas, persecuted and hunted down by illegitimate sons?

Chang'an finally jumped into the sea to save his life.

The illegitimate son thought that the legitimate son had been eliminated, but he accidentally heard that the legitimate son was in Donghai Town.

That's why they sent assassins to Donghai Town – they wanted to eliminate them completely!

Thinking of this, large beads of sweat involuntarily rolled down Gu Yun Chu's forehead.

"Hey bro, what's wrong with you? I'm asking you a question, why are you ignoring me?" Wei Yue looked at Gu Yun Chu in front of him with a puzzled expression.

He just came over to ask them if they wanted tea, so why does he seem to be daydreaming now?

I spoke to him several times, but he ignored me.

Gu Yun Chu was lost in her own fantasy when Wei Yue suddenly woke her up. She quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"No... I'm sorry, sir. I was just thinking about something and got distracted. What did you say to me just now?" Gu Yun Chu said, trying to appear calm.

In reality, his heart was pounding like a drum, fearing that he might say the wrong thing and lose his life.

The play also says that these cold-blooded killers are the most ruthless, killing without blinking an eye.

Wei Yue asked several times in a row, and was already getting impatient.

"I'm asking you, who is the person outside the door to you, and where are they now!" Wei Yue shouted coldly.

Listening to Wei Yue's tone, Gu Yun Chu became even more certain that the two of them had come to seek revenge on Chang'an.

Chang'an just happened to be away on a long trip, so as long as I make up a pretext, I can cover it up.

Gu Yun Chu immediately thought of how to answer.

"This man is a big, simple-minded guy from Guihua Village. He went missing a while ago. My family is familiar with his parents, so we helped put up his picture to find him!" Gu Yun Chu made up.

At that moment, Chang'an, who was driving the carriage, sneezed several times in a row.

"Chang'an, it's getting cold. I'll drive the carriage, so you can put on another coat," Li Ershu said to Chang'an with a smile.

Chang'an shook his head, indicating that he wasn't cold. Gu Lili was currently dozing inside, so he decided not to disturb her.

Li Ershu looked at Chang'an's clothes, then at his own, and realized that Chang'an seemed to have more clothes than him.

He stopped talking and continued looking at the road ahead.

Wei Yue tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips, then scrutinized Gu Yun Chu's expression, trying to see if he was lying.

Gu Yun Chu noticed Wei Yue's probing gaze, but still calmly smiled at the two of them.

"Have you found that person?" Wei Yin asked.

Gu Yun Chu coughed and said, "We did find him, but he died because he accidentally fell into the water!"

At the same time, Gu Yun Chu muttered to herself, "Chang'an, oh Chang'an, I'm not cursing you, I'm only saying this for your own life..."

Chang'an, who was driving the carriage, sneezed a few more times. At the same time, he muttered to himself that when they arrived at Tianning Town and checked into an inn, he must make sure the waiter made ginger tea to ward off the cold.

Upon hearing that the person in the portrait was dead, Wei Yue immediately stood up and slammed his hand on the table.

The bowls and chopsticks on the table were all shattered, and the solid wood table even had faint cracks.

Wei Yue's sudden action startled Gu Yun Chu.
