Novel Bin Chapter 389 - 389: What About Your Father?
As expected, after two drawings, Qin Wenzheng’s eyes began to light up. Then, he started to draw.
He seemed to have found the feeling. After drawing, he looked at it carefully for a moment. Then, he looked up and said, “Thank you. I’ll go back and think about it. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll come and ask you.”
“You really don’t hold back.”
“You said it. A deal is a deal. I don’t have to be polite.”
Gu Yundong choked. Seeing that he had rolled up the drawing paper and was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, “Wait for me for a while.”
As she spoke, she lowered her head and quickly focused on drawing a few portraits.
It was a few unfamiliar faces. Qin Wenzheng looked at her in confusion.
Gu Yundong handed him the three drawings. “You said that several people in the prefectural city have already learned this drawing method, so I don’t have to worry about being exposed. This is my aunt, her husband, and Fourth Uncle. I know that you have connections in the prefectural city, so I would like to trouble you to paste them to the eye-catching place at the city gate.”
Qin Wenzheng did not refuse. After taking a look, he accepted them.
“What about your father?”
At the mention of Gu Dajiang, Gu Yundong was still a little hesitant. After some thought, she told Qin Wenzheng what she had heard in Qing’an Prefecture.
Qin Wenzheng frowned slightly when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Your concerns are right. I didn’t expect your father to be involved in the capture of the bandits. If his portrait is used by the bandits to find him, not only will we not be able to find your father, but we will also harm him.”
As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “Since both you and your father are related to this matter, I won’t hide it from you. There’s indeed someone behind the bandit leader that was captured in the Xuanhe Prefecture that day. Furthermore, they might be in the Xuanhe Prefecture. After those bandits harmed the Qing’an Prefecture, he didn’t escape elsewhere. Instead, he came to the Xuanhe Prefecture.”
Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment before rejoicing. Previously, she had thought that the matter was not as serious as she had imagined. After all, both she and Gu Dajiang were insignificant people. Even if they played a certain role in capturing bandits, those bandits might not remember small fries like them.
Now that she heard Qin Wenzheng say it so seriously, she thought that it was right to take away the missing person notices when she left the Qing’an Prefecture.
Qin Wenzheng: “I’ll get someone to post these three portraits to the prefectural city. You can also draw two portraits of Gu Dajiang for me. I’ll get someone to secretly keep an eye on them without exposing the portraits.”
Gu Yundong nodded and lowered his head to continue drawing.
Qin Wenzheng said, “Moreover, according to you, the commander your father met back then was Commander Zhao from the Xuanhe Prefecture. Ever since he contributed to pacifying the chaos, he has already gone to the capital. I’ll write a letter and ask my friends in the capital to ask Commander Zhao if there’s any news of your father.”
Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up and she could not help but stop drawing. “Thank you.”
“There’s no need. Actually, you said that your father only left Qing’an Prefecture half a month after quelling the chaos. He must have confirmed that you were not there and even learned about your whereabouts. There are only two places he can go. One is Gu village, and the other is Xuanhe Prefecture.”
Gu Yundong thought so too. If her father was in Xuanhe Prefecture, using Qin Wenzheng’s help would naturally be better than finding a needle in a haystack.
She finished drawing the portraits and handed them to Qin Wenzheng.
Before he left, she couldn’t help but ask..
