Chapter 419: Surrender

The two looked back with a fluke mood, and saw Gu Fei standing by the door, with a handkerchief covering her face, looking at them.

The two dared not play tricks anymore, and honestly confessed everything they had done over the years.

These two really deserved death. They had abducted and sold more than a dozen girls and wives, and seven or eight children over the years.

When the prefect heard this, it was unacceptable. They abducted and sold so many people. He immediately recorded the confession and put them in jail. He also asked the clerk to quickly compare the cases of missing people in the past so that he could notify the family members and maybe find a few of them.

Gu Fei then slowly walked back to the inn.

After not returning for a night, the inn was still the same. Lian'er and Yan'er were sitting at the counter worried. The young lady did not return for a night, and they didn't know whether she went home or what?

If she went home in the past, she would definitely say hello to them. Yesterday, she had lunch and said she was going to the pharmacy to buy medicine, but she never came back.

They didn't dare to tell anyone, for fear of affecting Gu Fei's reputation. Suddenly seeing Gu Fei appear at the door, they both ran out, suppressing their joy, "Miss, you're back——"

Gu Fei yawned, "I'm so tired, Lian'er, go to the pharmacy at the end of the street and buy me a medicine called Huang Zhizi."

Lian'er wanted to ask where Gu Fei was last night, but she didn't dare to ask. Gu Fei gave her a small ingot of silver, and Lian'er took the silver and went to the pharmacy.

Yan'er saw that Lian'er didn't dare to ask, so she didn't dare to say anything either.

Lian'er went to the pharmacy to weigh the medicine. The clerk packed it for her while chatting, "Yesterday, a girl came to buy yellow gardenia, but she was kidnapped. The medicine is still there. Alas, I reported it to the police, but I don't know if the girl has been found."

Lian'er couldn't help asking, "What clothes did the girl wear? Was she pretty?"

The clerk glanced at Lian'er and said, "She was wearing a silver-blue brocade dress. She was pretty."

Lian'er's face turned pale. Didn't the girl wear a silver-blue dress when she came back this morning?

She took the medicine package, gave the silver, and left in a hurry.

Back in the store, Lian'er handed the medicine package to Gu Fei. Gu Fei poured a bowl of hot water, took a few yellow gardenias, crushed them and soaked them in it.

Lian'er whispered, "Miss, were you kidnapped yesterday?"

Gu Fei was washing her face. After hearing what Lian'er said, she nodded, "How did you know?"

"The clerk in the drugstore saw it and said it was a new thing. He also said that he reported it to the police yesterday."

Gu Fei smiled, "Thank him very much."

Lian'er looked at Gu Fei worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?"

Gu Fei glanced at her, "Do you think I'm in trouble?"

Lian'er shook her head and smiled, "No, I was confused. Miss is so good at fighting that the bad guys can't beat Miss."

Gu Fei washed her face, smiled, and dipped her finger in the water in the bowl to take a look.

The water made from the yellow gardenia is indeed yellow, with a little red. The clerk said that this is usually used to dye clothes.

After wiping the entire face, Gu Fei asked Lian'er, "How is it?"

Lian'er nodded, "Much better, but her face looks yellow, a bit strange."

Gu Fei smiled, "Let him be."

After sending Lian'er away, Gu Fei counted the silver on him. The inn has been open for three months. Except for the first month when the business was poor, the profit in the last two months was more than 1,000 taels of silver.

There were more than 8,000 taels of silver left.
