Chapter 101: Zhenwei Escort Agency

Gu Zhang pondered for a while, wondering whether he should agree or not, when he suddenly saw Gu Fei coming out of the pharmacy.

He said to Zhang Ze, "I'll discuss it with my daughter."

He pulled Gu Fei aside and told her the story.

Gu Fei blinked, "Dad, I think it's okay."

"Do you know who this young man is? He is most likely the son of the county magistrate."

"Didn't you want to hire someone from the escort agency a few days ago? The guards of the county magistrate's family must be good, and we know their origins. Besides, they are definitely not short of money and will not be jealous of our little food. If they go with us, it means we have two free guards."

Gu Zhang was a little surprised, "Is he really the son of the county magistrate?"

Gu Fei nodded, "I have seen the lady who was with them that day. She is the county magistrate's wife."

"But, Dad, since they haven't revealed their identities, I think we should pretend not to know."

Gu Zhang nodded slightly, "If they don't say, I won't ask. It's best to pretend not to know."

"The county magistrate is also a rare good official. For this reason, we should protect this young man."

Su Chen lay on Chen Hu's back and watched Gu Zhang and his daughter whispering to each other.

He couldn't understand what a grown man and a little girl could discuss.

Just as he was thinking, the two turned around and walked over. Gu Zhang smiled and said, "It's good to go together. We can take care of each other on the way. The families who came out together agreed to meet at the East City Gate at noon. If you want to leave, don't be late."

Zhang Ze was delighted, "Thank you very much, uncle. Let's go buy a carriage and meet you at noon."

The Gu family strolled around Tongcheng again and bought some expensive vegetables. When passing a big door, Gu Fei said, "Dad, there is a escort agency here."

Gu Zhang looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the door with the words Zhenwei Escort Agency written on it.

Gu Zhang couldn't help asking the old man who was guarding the door, "Father, do you accept escorts to Donghai County?"

The old man waved his hand, "No, there is no manpower. The masters in the escort agency have been sent out."

Gu Zhang had no idea at all.

At this time, in a room in the backyard of the escort agency, Uncle Ma had just finished writing a secret letter, in which he basically wrote down everything Gu Fei had done during this period, trying not to mix personal emotions, so that it would be helpful for the prince to make an accurate judgment.

After writing the secret letter, Uncle Ma sealed it with wax and handed it to the manager of the escort agency, who had his own channels to deliver the secret letter to the prince.

The Gu family never thought that Uncle Ma was in the escort agency. After asking a few questions, they left. It was almost noon. It was not easy to cook in this city, so the family found a restaurant that looked inexpensive and ordered a bowl of knife-cut noodles for each person.

Lian'er originally refused to eat, saying that she would just eat steamed bread, but Gu Fei insisted on ordering a bowl for her.

Several brothers of the Gu family were not full after one bowl, so they asked for another bowl each.

Gu Zhang finally paid the bill, one hundred coins for a bowl of noodles, a total of one or two or three coins of silver.

When the old lady heard one or two or three coins of silver, her body shook a few times, as if she was about to faint.

Before she even walked out of the store, she cursed: "This store is too ruthless. A bowl of noodles costs 100 coins. I have never seen such a thing in my decades of life!"

The store owner glared at the old lady and said, "If you don't have money, don't eat. What are you talking about? What's the price of white flour now?"

"If you shout again, I will beat you up!"
