Chapter 925: Arriving at Qingshui County, merchants disappearing?
Ten days later.
Suiyang County.
The sky was getting dark. On the wide road, a carriage was moving slowly, flanked by guards on horseback.
Gao Yang sat in the carriage, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.
"This official can almost conclude that the few refugees who went to the Ministry of Justice in Changan to file a complaint definitely have grievances!"
"They might even have been harmed by villains!"
Gao Yang's voice rang out, carrying certainty.
"Young Master hasn't even arrived in Suiyang City, and hasn't even seen that 'Benevolent Liu', yet you have already solved the case?"
"Young Master is truly a god!"
Green Radish heard this, her beautiful eyes looking at Gao Yang filled with worship.
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Gao Yang and then said unhappily, "Green Radish, you are too simple. This is purely because this guy is too lazy. He was jolted for the whole journey, and there were robbers on the road. He feels that it was not easy for the refugees to walk to Changan on foot, so he has this intuition."
"Although there are huge suspicious points, to say it's solving the case is purely nonsense!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Yang's old face turned red.
Shangguan Wan'er understood him so well?
"Ah?"
Green Radish's red lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes shocked.
She stared straight at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang hurriedly changed the subject, "Lord Shangguan, it's your turn to play. You must be focused when playing cards; you cannot divert your attention!"
The carriage space was large. While there were soft cushions on the seats on three sides, there was also a small table in the middle.
Fortunately, when Gao Yang was bored, he ordered people to make a deck of Da Qian poker cards. Although the material was a bit poor, it was not bad for passing the time on the road.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the cards in her hand, and then her jade hand drew two cards, "Pair of threes!"
"Rocket!"
"Your head must be buzzing, right!"
Following Shangguan Wan'er's voice, Gao Yang directly played a rocket, then gave a cheap laugh, staring at Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.
She only played a pair of threes; did he have to be so ruthless?
"Do you want it?"
Shangguan Wan'er shook her head subconsciously.
What could she use to want it?
Gao Yang continued to draw the cards in his hand, then said: "A straight from nine to ace, four twos, three with a pair!"
"Lord Shangguan, you dare to call the landlord with this hand? You lost. According to the rules, take off a piece of clothing!"
Shangguan Wan'er stared at the cards on the table, and the whole person was stunned.
"Rocket, four twos, and a straight!"
"Gao Yang, you are cheating!"
Shangguan Wan'er pointed at Gao Yang, almost concluding.
This guy's cards were too good, and for the past ten days, she had lost more and won less, so she had long felt that Gao Yang was using dirty tricks.
"Tsk tsk, Lord Shangguan can't afford to lose!"
"Who can't afford to lose? This is definitely you playing dirty. The previous days were fine, but these few hands today must have problems!"
Shangguan Wan'er blushed.
Chen Sheng, driving the carriage, was so envious that his eyes turned red.
He sighed in his heart.
Eldest Young Master is indeed Eldest Young Master. Even on a long journey, the world in this carriage is so wonderful.
It's fortunate that Shangguan Wan'er is following; otherwise, if Lady Li had really brought those four beautiful maids, under Gao Yang's lewd power, this journey would have been even more bumpy.
Wu Guang said heartily from the side, "Brother Chen, don't be envious. Once we find an inn, you, me, and Brother Zhao can borrow the Eldest Young Master's poker cards and play a round. Let's also play the rule that whoever loses takes off a piece."
Chen Sheng stared at the hideous scar on Wu Guang's face and his tall build, and he refused decisively, "I refuse!"
"I also refuse!"
On the side, Zhao Da covered his butt and also issued a refusal!
Wu Guang was stunned.
"You don't like playing this game?"
Walking forward for another stretch, Chen Sheng took out a map, looked at the sky, and spoke to the carriage that was falling into an argument.
"Eldest Young Master, ten miles ahead, we will reach the territory of Qingshui County."
"But the mountains are overlapping nearby, and the road is hard to walk. According to the news from the scouts who opened the road, merchants disappearing often happens in this area. Should we rush through the night, or find an inn to rest for a while?"
Accompanied by Chen Sheng's voice, Gao Yang lifted the curtain.
In sight, the sky was dark, and on both sides of the road were undulating mountain ranges.
"There is an inn nearby?" Gao Yang asked curiously.
"According to the scouts, two miles ahead, there is an inn that looks pretty good. It has stood for decades, right on the only way to Qingshui County, near Yunze Village."
Gao Yang raised his eyebrows.
"Then let's go and rest for a night. On this journey, this official's butt has suffered enough!" ===== CHAPTER 927 =====
