Chapter 786: She’s Not a Devil

Gu Yundong watched as Steward Zhou walked over. Not long after, he walked into the teahouse and hurriedly went upstairs.

He seemed to be here to reserve a seat, but just as he was about to speak to the waiter, he saw Gu Yundong, who was sitting on the second floor and looking at him with a faint smile.

Steward Zhou’s expression changed drastically. He turned around and left.

Gu Yundong was instantly amused. She was not a devil, and this was not his territory or his teahouse. Would she not be allowed to sit here?

Steward Zhou left the teahouse and looked up. Unexpectedly, his eyes met Gu Yundong’s. His face turned pale and he hurriedly ran back to the Zhou residence.

Gu Yundong was speechless.

Ever since Steward Zhou entered the residence, no one had come out from that door.

Of course, she couldn’t see the back door of the Zhou Mansion, and she didn’t know if they would use the back door.

Gu Yundong could not help but rub her nose. It seemed that he was so scared that he did not even dare to leave the house. It was simply a sin.

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard exclamations.

“Coming, coming.”

Gu Dajiang also said, “The prison vans are here.”

Gu Yundong no longer paid attention to the Zhou Mansion. She looked at the three prison vans passing by the street downstairs.

There was only one person in the first two prison carts, but there were three people squatting in the last one.

This time, these five people were the ones who were to be executed.

The prison carts were extremely slow, so it did not stop the onlookers by the roadside from throwing mud and rotten leaves at them.

The people at the table next to Gu Yundong were chatting. They were talking about the death row prisoners in the prison cart.

“Serves them right. This kind of evil bandit should have been executed long ago.”

Someone seemed to not know the identities of the prisoners and asked, “Are these bandits?”

“What else?” Those who knew looked indignant. “You haven’t forgotten what happened in Qing’an Prefecture last year, right? Back then, the bandit leader barged into the government office and even dared to kill the officials. They also robbed all the rich families in the city. What’s even more abominable is that they didn’t let go of those innocent citizens. They killed everyone they saw. They’re worse than beasts.”

“They used the refugees outside the city at that time to incite the refugees to break into the prefectural city, so that they could fish in troubled waters and do all kinds of bad things. Fortunately, Commander Zhao of our Xuanhe Prefecture led troops to quell the chaos back then. They killed and captured a lot of criminals, but that bandit leader still escaped. It was not easy for him to run to our Xuanhe Prefecture until he was captured. The five people who were executed today were the remnants of that group of bandits. They were arrested one after another in the past year.”

“Do you see the men in the two prison carts in front? Those two are small leaders. I heard that they killed a few people during the robbery. The last three aren’t good people either. They’re all ruthless people who do bad things.”

As he spoke, the person suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, “I also heard that someone might come to rescue the prisoners today.”

Everyone was shocked. “Someone might come to rescue the prisoners? Then how dare you come out here to watch the commotion?”

That person snorted softly. “What’s there to be afraid of? The government office has already sent people to the surrounding area with many soldiers. It’s fine if they don’t come to rescue the prisoners. As long as they come, they won’t be able to return. We’re on the second floor of this teahouse. We’re safe.”

Gu Yundong was speechless. ‘You’re amazing. You even know about the government office. Moreover, the second floor is not safe at all.’

She and Gu Dajiang looked at each other. So this was the identity of the prisoner downstairs.

Speaking of which, they had an ill-fated encounter with the father and daughter.
