After Gu Pianran received the news, Bei Yutang naturally received the news as well.
"Go to a deserted village." Bei Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
What exactly are they planning?
However, no matter what his plan was, Lei Yuting had already detained him. In the prison, he couldn't cause any big trouble.
"Dark night."
Appearing in the dark night.
"From now on, you must keep an eye on Tang Yu. We can't let him die like this."
"yes."

That night, Gu Pianran went to a place alone and quietly. The alley was dark, and she could only move forward with the help of the faint moonlight. When she arrived at a place, she saw a person squatting in a corner.
Gu Pianran appeared and woke up the people in the corner.
She lifted the lid of the basket and took out the food inside. The fragrant smell of food tempted the hungry people.
After she put her things down, she left the place.
The man in the corner watched her leave and didn't go over to eat. However, the delicious smell made his eyes sparkle. He stared at the intersection, and when she didn't appear for a long time, he moved over cautiously.
He grabbed the roast chicken on the plate and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
After finishing a roast chicken, he stared at the bowl of braised pork and fragrant white rice.
He subconsciously looked towards the intersection and saw that the man had not returned for a long time. He moved over again and started eating the bowl of fragrant white rice. He ate the bowl of white rice with great relish, without any vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, a bowl of white rice and a bowl of braised pork were finished.
The man covered his swollen belly and retreated comfortably into his hut. A moment later, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the pain made him fall down and roll on the ground.
When his body stopped twitching, Qi Qiao began to bleed dark red blood.
Gu Pianran, who had been waiting not far away, quietly waited for the sound to stop after hearing the painful groan. When the alley returned to silence, she slowly walked out. Holding a lantern, she walked towards the shack. The dim light shone on the man's face, revealing that his face was covered with blisters, some of which had even turned to pus.
It was indeed smallpox.
Gu Pianran put away the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the person in front of him, and threw the candle in his hand directly into the shack. The flames instantly engulfed him and the shack behind him.
Gu Pianran returned home and washed the dishes.
The next day, Gu Pianran went to the messenger's courtyard.
Niu Dazhuang was flattered to see the eldest lady coming.
"Miss." Niu Dazhuang stood where he was, not daring to move.
Gu Pianran smiled gently and said, "Sit down, don't be shy. Did you have a good rest last night?"
"It's great. It's the softest bed I've ever slept in."
Gu Pianran gave Dongmei a wink, and Dongmei opened the door and brought out plates of dishes.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Niu Dazhuang looked at the plates of chicken, duck, fish and meat and swallowed his saliva unconsciously. The meal prepared for him yesterday was simple vegetables, white rice, and some minced meat.
This was already a very good meal for Niu Dazhuang, who was born in poverty.
At that time, I was still thinking that living in a wealthy family was good, and the food the servants ate was better than that of the landlords.
Today, the eldest lady personally brought him food, and it was all delicious fish and meat, which made him flattered.
"Eat. I wanted to let you rest for a few more days, but Gu Yun's situation in Yanzhou is getting worse the longer we delay, so I have no choice but to send you back."
