Chapter 380 Inexplicable Disappearance
Love is not ridiculous, what is ridiculous is the person who laughs at it.
People who live seriously do not consider things other than love. They just need to love and be loved. A man and a woman are that simple.
Identity, distance, age... these are the pros and cons that silenced in the minds of merciless people, and they have nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.
Huangfu Sisi never felt that her identity between her and Gu Qing was an obstacle. She was once the daughter of a general, and she had received education in poetry and books. Even though she is now a shameful criminal, she still retains the pride of a general's daughter in her heart.
She didn't feel that she was not worthy of Gu Qing, nor did she care about Gu Qing's fact that she still had a fiancée, and she didn't even mind that even if she was accepted by Gu Qing, she could only be a concubine.
She is a simple relationship with Gu Qing, without any unnecessary impurities. If you like me, I like you, and that's enough.
If you have to say something about obstacles, Bian Lingcheng is the obstacle between her and Gu Qing.
Huangfu Sisi came to meet Bian Lingcheng tonight just to eliminate this obstacle. She didn't want to be Bian Lingcheng's tool anymore, nor did she want Bian Lingcheng to use her to deal with Gu Qing. Although Bian Lingcheng has not given any instructions to hurt Gu Qing at the moment, she knew that if she did not resist, sooner or later, Bian Lingcheng would force her to hurt Gu Qing.
This is what she least wants to see.
Bian Lingcheng was laughing wildly, as if he heard a very funny joke, and he couldn't stand up straight.
In the eyes of philanthropists like Bian Lingcheng, the love between men and women must be weighed. The identities of both parties, the interests of both parties, the family background of both parties, etc., only love that allows each other's interests or power to a higher level is a perfect match.
The difference in identity between Huangfu Sisi and Gu Qing was so great that he couldn't help but laugh wildly.
It was so inappropriate. One was a county marquis and military governor with a great future, and the other was an imperial prisoner who had been pursued by the court for many years. How mentally retarded Mr. Gu would have to accept such a woman entering the Gu family.
And the stupid woman in front of her came to her for a hopeless relationship between men and women, trying to end the relationship she was held captive. This... is even more ridiculous.
Did she think that she could easily be married to Gu Qing without being held captive?
Too simple and stupid.
"Huangfu Sisi, are you blinded by lard?" Bian Lingcheng's laughter suddenly paused, and his face suddenly became as cold as frost.
Huangfu Sisi's cheeks were still bruised and swollen. Bian Lingcheng slapped heavily in the face, and he had no pity for this beautiful woman.
"Bian Jianjun, I just want to feel no guilt when facing him," Huangfu Sisi smiled indifferently and said, "You can go and expose me or send someone to kill me? Even if you die, I will die completely. I... don't want to be the pawn in your hand anymore. Do you understand enough?"
Bian Lingcheng smiled again: "I understand? I understand very much. Is it true? You are here to die tonight."
Huangfu Sisi's bruised pretty face opened with a smile, looking very embarrassed? But her smile was still so charming.
"If my death can end all this ludicrous thing, then? What's the point if I die."
Bian Lingcheng sneered: "Huangfu Sisi? You are no longer the daughter of the governor. Now you are just a stray dog. Even if you die, it is insignificant? You have no bargaining chips in your hands. What conditions do you have to talk to me about?"
"Gu Qing? Do you think Gu Qing is attracted to you? Don't think I don't know that the guy in your store has my spy. Gu Qing is just eating and drinking in your store, and he has no affection for you? A female shopkeeper died in Kucha City. What is it for Gu Qing?"
When talking about Gu Qing? Huangfu Sisi showed a gloomy look.
Bian Lingcheng's words are right. Gu Qing may be ruthless to her? In his eyes, food is more attractive than her? Only he has admitted that she is a friend? He is willing to protect her? But this promise has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women. He really only thinks she is a friend.
For a man who doesn't love himself, facing death without hesitation in a place where he can't see it seems... a bit ridiculous.
Is it worth it?
Perhaps, he was the only light in the endless darkness, giving her hope for life, and making her seem to find the meaning of living in this boring and desperate little town day after day.
Arguing, quarrel, vicious jokes, disgusting faces when picky eating, and the occasional care and pity...
She didn't understand the meaning of happiness, she was just a moth subconsciously pounced on the fire, not afraid of death, she just wanted to fly to the light.
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Huangfu Sisi's mouth and murmured softly: "It's worth it..."
Bian Lingcheng didn't hear it clearly, and looked at her in confusion, with a sharp look in his eyes, and suddenly he called the name of the follower.
The door opened and the follower appeared outside the door.
"Take her out of the Jiedu Mansion..." Bian Lingcheng said a few words coldly: "Kill the stick, find a wild place to bury it."
The follower took the order and grabbed Huangfu Sisi's arm and walked out.
Huangfu Sisi smiled sadly, but did not resist, and followed her follower out.
As soon as he walked down the stone steps, Bian Lingcheng suddenly stopped his follower and his expression became hesitant.
It’s not that he suddenly became kind-hearted and reluctant to kill Huangfu Sisi, but that he was weighing the risks.
According to the inn's eyeliner, although Gu Qing did not think of Huangfu Sisi as men and women, he was very convinced of Huangfu Sisi's cooking skills and had to go for a meal almost every one or two days. If Huangfu Sisi was killed, Gu Qing might pursue it, and then he would be passive.
After hesitating for a while, Bian Lingcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Don't kill first, let's take a look in a few days. Find a remote house in the backyard of the Jiedushi Mansion and lock it up. No one is allowed to approach it."
The follower pushed Huangfu Sisi to the backyard.
Bian Lingcheng yawned for a long time. He was tired enough tonight and should have gone to bed long ago.
Before Bian Lingcheng fell asleep, he was still thinking about how to write a memorial that satisfyed Jingshi Pei. All kinds of words flashed like a light in his mind.
As for Huangfu Sisi's life and death, Bian Lingcheng never thought about it at all.
He was just a business woman who showed up in public. Since Gu Qing did not affect her with men and women, even if she disappeared, she would not ask too much. She just lacked a chef with the right taste for cooking, so she would be accustomed to it.
If Gu Qing must pursue it, hehe, she was a criminal offender in the court, and her identity was revealed, I believe Gu Qing would not dare to continue to pursue it.
…………
Three days later.
Gu Qing was in a very unhappy mood, and his face was so gloomy that he could scrape off the frost.
I haven't eaten the dishes made by Huangfu Sisi for three days, so he has to eat them by himself these days. Eating too much barbecue will cause anger, which is particularly harmful to the body of a boy.
Huangfu Sisi disappeared for three days without any signs, and disappeared for no reason. A living person disappeared out of thin air in the small border town of Kucha City, which was impossible to say.
The inn business almost stopped. Only a few old customers still lived in the wing room in the backyard, and the kitchen in the front hall was not turned off. After all, there was still a chef, but Gu Qing had no appetite when the chef made the dishes.
On the fourth day, Gu Qing came to Fuzhi Inn again and sat in the inn front hall in the morning.
He grabbed a guy by chance and asked him the whereabouts of the shopkeeper with a cold face. The guy knew that he was the governor and was so scared that he couldn't answer. He only said that he had not seen the shopkeeper three days ago and had never appeared until today. I don't know where she went, and there was no word left. Several of the guys in the inn were panicked and at a loss. I wonder if the inn would continue to drive.
Gu Qing frowned, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.
There is no reason to disappear out of thin air and don’t even say hello. This is not like Huangfu Sisi’s character. The woman is very cheerful on weekdays. After all, she is a career that welcomes and sends her off. Although she has no relatives in this city, she at least has Gu Qing, a friend. If she plans to leave, she will at least say something to Gu Qing and handle the aftermath of the inn.
The current situation is like she was suddenly tied up with a ticket, and she disappeared without explaining anything.
"Is it the one who sent An Lushan to do it again?" Gu Qing murmured to himself.
There is no way, An Lushan is indeed a major suspect. He used to bribe the archer to cause damage. This time, something happened without warning. Gu Qing had to be the first to suspect An Lushan.
The Anxi Jiedushi’s Jiedushi not only governs the army, but also manages the public security in the city. There are officials in the Jiedushi’s Jiedushi who are specifically responsible for public security, and there are also bad commanders and bad people responsible for arresting thieves and solving cases. However, because the Anxi Jiedushi’s Jiedushi is a military town, the atmosphere of the army is too strong, and people like the bad commanders in the government do not have a high sense of existence. Gu Qing rarely deals with them since he took office.
This time I have to deal with it.
"Han Jie, let the bad coach in the city come to see me immediately!" Gu Qing ordered decisively.
After an incense stick of hour, a bad handsome man rolled and crawled to the inn, stood in front of Gu Qing and kept bowing, and didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his face.
"The Marquis summoned him, and the villain was patrolling the streets. It was too late. The Marquis forgives his crime." The bad handsome man bowed and said in panic.
Gu Qing has been in office for more than a year, and it is the first time he has officially summoned the bad coach so formally. Obviously, something big happened, and a group of bad coaches are worried.
Gu Qing said with a cold face: "I want to report to the official!"
The bad handsome guy was stunned and became more and more frightened.
You are the biggest official in the four towns of Anxi. Who are you reporting to?
"Hao, marquis, the villain is timid and can't stand being scared. Don't joke with the villain..." The bad handsome said with a bitter face.
"Are you very familiar with you? Who is joking with you? I want to report to the official, haven't you heard it clearly?"
The bad handsome man said in panic: "Yes, marquis, please give me instructions if you have something to do."
A little bit of worry appeared in Gu Qing's eyes and said, "I have a friend who has been missing for four days and has not seen anyone even if he calls him. This is not normal. You can immediately mobilize the official servants to find her whereabouts."
The bad handsome asked carefully: "Why did the Marquis disappear and that friend has a name? Can you tell him what he looks like?"
Gu Qing pointed at his feet and said, "You should know this person. She is the shopkeeper of this inn, named...Du Sisi?"
The name is a bit strange. Gu Qing has never called her name before, nor does he know the pseudonym that Huangfu Sisi has always used.
The female shopkeeper of Fuzhi Inn naturally knew the bad handsome guys. He would greet each other enthusiastically every day when patrolling the streets.
So the bad coach was surprised: "Is Manager Du missing?"
Gu Qing said impatiently: "I don't like answering nonsense, hurry up and take action!"
The bad coach hurriedly said, "Yes, the villain will start a search for the bad people in the festival mansion in the whole city."
Gu Qing said again: "I can help if I don't have enough staff. In short, I have to find her whereabouts as soon as possible, so I may be afraid of my life."
Then Gu Qing turned his head and said to Han Jie: "Have Wang Gui recovered?"
Han Jie bowed and said, "I have recovered, I am very happy to jump around."
