Chapter 114 I won’t keep you till dawn!
He knew that his master valued his wife, but he did not dare to respond casually to Ran Qingxuan's easy-going attitude.
After all, he is just a slave...
An Yi knew that Ran Qingxuan was teasing him, but his master was right in front of him, so he didn't dare to say anything presumptuous.
"Okay, just do it. Your wife is much more capable than you think!"
"yes."
An Yi left in fear. Ran Qingxuan smiled but said nothing. He sat on the stool and kept imagining Qu Feng's reaction when he saw the A4 paper.
The relaxed and natural smile on his face was something Gu Yanchen had never seen before.
He clenched his palms and planned to change the subject, hoping to divert Ran Qingxuan's attention from the music style.
"That Dai Kun will no longer be a threat to us, but the other one is hard to say. Even if we know his identity, we can't do anything about him now."
"Indeed, but it is a fact that he hurt someone. He Xun will definitely identify this person after he wakes up. Once he identifies him, Fu Fan will definitely not continue to follow the escort team to the northwest."
"I guess once Fu Fan is identified, his superiors will most likely think that he has been exposed. If they think he has said something he shouldn't have said, they will most likely send someone to silence him!"
Gu Yanchen also thought of this, but could only sigh helplessly.
"We can indeed follow Fu Fan's lead to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but we have no way to act with our current identities."
"We don't need to worry about the action. If we want to do it, we can do it. But as you said, with our current status, we can't do anything to the person behind the scenes even if we find him."
Afraid that he would have thoughts of giving up on himself again, Ran Qingxuan changed the subject and continued.
"But knowing who it is is better than guessing blindly, and I think the person behind Fu Fan might be the same person who instructed Aunt Xu to spy on the Gu family."
After Ran Qingxuan's reminder, Gu Yanchen also realized that he couldn't do nothing at this moment.
"If you continue to stay here tonight, I will keep an eye on Fu Fan secretly."
Seeing that he didn't think any more about it, Ran Qingxuan decided to go and check the progress of making the tent.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Bu Wei leading a group of people dressed in yamen uniforms upstairs.
Ran Qingxuan didn't leave. He closed the door and stood there waiting.
Dai Kun, whose foot was half corroded by sulfuric acid, was carried out like a dead dog. When he followed him, he saw Fu Fan also tied up and pushed out.
"Boss, all of this was really ordered by Dai Kun. I am innocent..."
Fu Fan was saying things that had nothing to do with him, but murderous intent flashed in his eyes the moment he met Ran Qingxuan.
He knew he couldn't say anything now...
The tall and thin man who was helping to escort him watched He Xun die in front of him, and was finally revived by Ran Qingxuan.
Since his savior was targeted like this, he naturally couldn't bear to teach him a lesson.
The scabbard smashed down hard, and a big bump instantly appeared on half of Fu Fan's head.
"You're still not behaving yourself even after this. If you dare to glare at me again, I'll dig your eyes out for you!"
The tall and thin man, who was escorting the silent person with his head down, bowed to Ran Qingxuan in gratitude as he passed by her.
Ran Qingxuan nodded and slowly stepped aside.
Bu Wei did not follow him to the county government office, but just told Ran Qingxuan that He Xun had woken up.
Pretending to ask a few questions casually, she learned that the two people were taken to the county government office and were only temporarily detained in the jail.
The county magistrate will wait until He Xun personally testifies tomorrow before he can hear and sentence Dai Kun and Fu Fan.
Ran Qingxuan thought for a moment and returned to the room, telling everyone his speculations one by one.
"There must be more people hiding in the dark than just the two of them. If the people behind the scenes don't want the two of them to reveal more, they might take action in the prison tonight."
Although Gu Yanchen had never committed such a murder in secret, such things were common in Beijing.
"After midnight, people will feel sleepy and the guards will relax and become lazy. It's hard to predict what will happen. To be on the safe side, I plan to wait there at 1:00 p.m. Anyway, the officials won't come into my room in the middle of the night to check if I'm there."
"Do you need me to go with you?" Ran Qingxuan asked somewhat worriedly.
"Just stay in the inn and An San and the others will go with me."
Ran Qingxuan was not completely reassured, so he quietly took out a few replacement boxes for the crossbow and put them on him, and also took some Yunnan Baiyao to stop the bleeding.
These things are essential if an injury occurs.
Everything was arranged perfectly, and Ran Qingxuan was no longer so nervous.
When I went downstairs to the dormitory where the women of the Gu family lived, I found that they had made more than a dozen tents in just a few hours.
This thing doesn't require very good needlework skills, just cut it properly and sew it together where necessary.
Seeing more than a dozen neatly stacked tents, Ran Qingxuan suddenly felt how lucky he was to have reliable teammates around him.
"Sister Ran, take a look, I made this myself."
Chen Yue'er, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, changed her initial willfulness and walked forward with a sewn tent in her arms, excitedly asking for credit.
Ran Qingxuan pretended to be inspecting the tent seriously, unfolded it and began to check it.
The tent she drew was relatively simple, a triangle shape that was more common in her previous life.
The interior of the tent is supported by bamboo poles at the front and back, and strong ropes are sewn on the four corners. The tent can be firmly fixed by wrapping them around wooden sticks and nailing them into the soil.
Moreover, the hemp rope can be fixed on the top of the tent, so there is no need to worry about the tent being blown away in windy days.
As for the doors on both sides, after seeing the first tent, Ran Qingxuan suggested sewing one end of the tent together, and overlapping the other ends and fixing them only at the top, so that the night wind would not enter the tent.
The reason why Ran Qingxuan sewed one end together was because he took safety issues into consideration. After all, the Gu family is basically made up of women, so a good reputation is naturally more important than anything else.
"At first I didn't understand why they sewed one end shut. Now, we won't get wind from both ends at night."
The second sister-in-law looked around the tent, her eyes full of excitement.
"That's true. When the time comes, we can sleep in a circle and build a fire in the middle. We can definitely survive the cold winter in the northwest."
The women were talking about it a lot, but their hands hardly stopped moving, and they even seemed to be getting more and more excited.
Seeing that Ran Qingxuan didn't praise her, Chen Yue'er pouted and was about to leave while holding the tent.
Ran Qingxuan saw this, quietly took out a lollipop from his arms, leaned close to her and whispered.
"Our Yue'er has grown up now. She even made such a good tent. She is much better than those young ladies from official families in Beijing who only rely on their parents. This is a reward from Sister Ran. You must keep it up!"
It was the first time for Chen Yue'er to see a lollipop. When Ran Qingxuan peeled it and fed it to her mouth, the eight-year-old girl was instantly conquered by the lollipop.
Mrs. Xiao Li Ping looked at the tents, which were simple but could shelter from the wind and rain, with envy. Ran Qingxuan noticed the bitterness in her eyes, walked up to her, took out three tents and placed them beside her legs.
