Chapter 141 The first meeting with Shi Lei
“Gu Xu, I will send you here today.”
Wait until we are still about a hundred meters away from the Exorcist Department of Laizhou Prefecture At that moment, Chen Jisheng suddenly stopped and said to Gu Xu next to him.
"Are you going back?"
"Yes," Chen Jisheng nodded, "Yishui Yamen still has many things that I need to deal with. In the next few days, I will need you. Take care of yourself.”
"Master Chen, don't worry," Gu Xu said with a slight smile, "I dare not say anything else, but I am still confident in self-protection."
Hearing this, Chen Jisheng glanced at Gu Xu's pocket.
He can guess without thinking that Gu Xu is now equipped with "Breaking Sky Pearl", "Stand-in Bracelet", "Jinghong Pen", and hundreds of various talismans and seals. .
“Without further ado, I wish you all the best!” Chen Jisheng also smiled and reached out to pat Gu Xu on the shoulder.
After saying that, he turned around and left, no longer caring.
Gu Xu stood quietly, watching Chen Jisheng's figure disappear from the end of his field of vision.
"Master Chen, you should also take care of yourself." He said softly.
Then he turned around and walked along the gray marble stairs into the solemn door of the Exorcism Department.
…………
Shi Lei was sitting in the lobby of the Yamen, silently sizing up the young man walking towards him.
I saw that his face was like a crown jade, his eyes were like bright stars, he looked handsome and elegant, and he had a good demeanor.
Although there is still a bit of childishness on his face, his eyes are calm and profound - neither excited nor nervous, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts.
Although Shi Lei, as a governor of a government, has already seen countless people.
But he had to admit that among all the "Shenji Camp" geniuses who arrived in Laizhou Mansion, the young man in front of him had the most outstanding appearance and temperament.
"This boy is so handsome. He must have caused trouble to many girls since he was a child!" Shi Lei couldn't help but comment in his mind.
Then, the young man took a step forward, bowed to Shi Lei and said:
"Xiaguan Yishui Exorcism Department's experience, Gu Xu, has met Mr. Shi!"
Hearing him Shi Lei was stunned for a moment.
“What’s your name?”
“My surname is Gu and my given name is Xu. I have an experience in the Yishui Exorcism Department.”
Having said this, Gu Xu showed his "Magic Token" in front of Shi Lei.
Shi Lei saw a clear "Suzaku" pattern on the back of the token.
“Are you ‘Suzaku’?” He frowned slightly.
"Yes, sir." Gu Xu replied politely.
“Yishui people?”
"Yes."
"Did you solve the case of Lu's murderous house?"
"Yes."
"So did the new owner of 'Jinghong Pen' You?"
"Yes."
Shi Lei's expression suddenly became alert.
He clearly remembered that Shi Xiaohan described the appearance of the young man named Gu Xu in his letter as "so-so". But when he saw it today, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart -
"This is not 'so-so', this is simply 'the jade tree is facing the wind', 'the watch that banishes the immortal'" !”
“That girl Shi Xiaohan dared to lie to me!”
"When she grew up, not only did she become tougher, but she actually lied to others!"
Shi Lei knew his daughter well and knew that although she didn't admit it with her mouth, she was a real "face control" in her heart. .
If such a handsome young man appeared next to her, I am afraid that the girl would not be able to take her eyes away.
What's more, they work as officials in the same yamen and see each other every day.
What's more, according to the recent news in the Di newspaper, this young man can be regarded as one of the best among people. Not only is his talent for cultivation extremely outstanding, but he has also done many things that ordinary people can't do. He has been awarded the title of Exorcist Department The appreciation of the Chief Secretary.
What's more, many of the geniuses who came to Laizhou Prefecture Yamen to report mentioned "Gu Xu" or "Suzaku", which obviously proves that this person is outstanding even in the "Shenji Camp".
Such an eye-catching person was described by his daughter as "okay", "okay", "much worse than me"...
Between these two people There must be a ghost in the room!
Thinking of this, Shi Lei narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, he doesn't really care about his future son-in-law's family background.
He would even rather have Shi Xiaohan marry into a wealthy family, get involved in the whirlpool of power, fight with people day and night, and sometimes have to compete with her husband's concubines for favor...
Let her marry a relatively ordinary person, but one who cares about her enough and is willing to protect her from wind and rain.
After all, Shi Xiaohan’s character is not one for scheming.
If you fight with others, you will probably be eaten in two days without any bones left.
Anyway, the Shi family has plenty of money, enough for them to spend their lives safely without worries.
Although the young man in front of him was born a commoner, his conditions were extremely excellent, both in appearance and in terms of his cultivation potential.
If they were really in love, Shi Lei would not stop them.
"I just don't know what his character is like..." Shi Lei thought as he held up the black gauze hat on his head, "This boy named Gu Xu is so handsome, and with his talent and Si The Lord Chief's favor for him will definitely occupy a place on the stage of power in Daqi in the future... In the minds of girls from the Daqi Dynasty, he must have extraordinary charm...
"I'm really not sure , will he engage in philandering outside in the future... Even if he is really a gentleman now, I can't guarantee that he will be able to resist the temptation from the outside after he becomes famous... After all, power and wealth can easily be combined into one. People corrupt..."
"Oh, how wonderful it would be if all the men in the world were as dedicated as me!
"Also, that girl Shi Xiaohan actually lied in front of me for this brat! Did she not even want me as her father after having a lover?
"..."
< br>…………
Gu Xu may never have imagined——
As a complete daughter-in-law, Shi Lei vaguely guessed that the relationship between Gu Xu and his precious daughter might have something to do with it. After Mao Ni, he has even considered the hidden dangers that may arise in their married life
Gu Xu only saw Shi Lei sitting behind the desk with a gloomy face, silent for a long time, and seemed to be in a somewhat unhappy mood.
After a while, Shi Lei looked at him seriously and said slowly: "Gu Xu, you are an official in Yishui, you should know my daughter Shi Xiaohan, right?"
< br>"I do know you, sir." Gu Xu nodded and answered honestly.
At the same time, Gu Xu was thinking in his mind: I remember Shi Xiaohan said that her father was an amiable and very talkative person - but why did he look like he was going to give me a blow today? ? Is it because she mentioned me in her letter? But the question is, how does she describe our relationship? Did she ever reveal to her father that she had thoughts about me?
He suddenly felt extremely troubled by the questions that Shi Lei might ask next.
PS: There is only one chapter left today. I've been working overtime and staying up late recently, and I feel like I'm not in a good state. Kavin is a bit powerful, so I need to take some time to sort out the follow-up details.
Thanks for the 100 reward from the points system!
