105 Chapter 105 A Big Move (2)
After they left, Zhou Ying looked at Gu Chengrui, who was frowning, and asked, “Did you think of something?”
“Don’t you think something’s wrong? What good can they do by gathering so many people in the middle of the night?” Gu Chengrui pondered for a moment before adding, “No, I have to go out tonight and see what the Qiao family or the county governor are up to. Maybe I can find something to use against them. ”
“I’ll go with you.”
“I’ll pass on your offer this time. I’ll go by myself as it’ll be inconvenient for you to follow me. ”
“But ...”
“No buts. I promise you I won’t do anything I’m not confident about. Also, I’ll definitely bring something for self-defense when I go out. ”
Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment and finally gave up. After all, her current body was still a little lacking in physical strength and endurance.
After that, the two of them quickly made dinner. When the village quieted down, Gu Chengrui changed into black clothes. He took a few bags of knockout powder, an anesthetic gun, and a pair of binoculars and left quietly.
After the goods were transported, a team of well-trained people quickly came to guard the cave.
Gu Chengrui’s expression became serious looking at all this. If these were not private soldiers, they must have been provided by someone behind the governor with military power. This was not a joke.
The issue was where such a large amount of grain came from and where it was about to transport.
It seemed that this matter was getting big, and it was not something that a small fry like him could get involved in. He could only silently remark and see if he could find the owner of these lost items.
Thinking of this, he got down from the tree and quietly went down the mountain. After the workers at the foot of the mountain had completely left, he walked along the river bank in the direction of his home.
When he reached a turn, he tripped over something and almost fell. Then, he heard a muffled groan.
Gu Chengrui was shocked, turning around hurriedly and looking down. He realized that he had tripped over a human arm.
Looking at the arm, it was someone with noble status, wearing a jade crown on his head. However, looking at his half-dead appearance, it was obvious that his injuries were severe. After hesitating, Gu Chengrui squatted down and carefully examined him.
Gu Chengrui didn’t expect to meet someone so unlucky. Not only was the person seriously injured, but also poisoned. If the person weren’t treated in time, he wouldn’t be able to live past tonight.
