Chapter 391

"Do it cleanly." Min Rui's voice reached Gu Ling's ears.

Madam Min snorted coldly, "Don't worry."

There was a moment of silence, but Gu Ling didn't leave, she was still waiting quietly in place.He heard Mrs. Min walking in the room, heard the sound of the stool being removed, and the sound of the teacup being picked up and put down.

After about a quarter of an hour, Min Rui said, "I don't know if you have done what your father wants to do."

Mrs. Min immediately stopped her, "Shut up. This has nothing to do with you. If you dare to talk too much, don't expect me to do things for you."

Very informative.Gu Ling thought about the information that Chang'an was ordered to investigate Min Rui's knowledge: Mrs. Min's parents have passed away, and there are no other relatives in the family.Obviously, this is different from what Min Rui and his wife said at the moment.As for "doing things for Min Rui" in Mrs. Min's mouth, Gu Ling has already guessed what it is.

Mr. Qin has already passed the duke title to his son Qin Kang. Now he is just a respected noble old man in the capital of Qianguo. He doesn't have any real power, and he won't have any grudges with anyone.Mrs. Min planned to create an accident and kill Mr. Qin without anyone noticing. There could only be one reason: this was what Min Rui meant.

As for the conflict between Min Rui and Mr. Qin, there is only one thing that counts: Mr. Qin rejected the Min family's marriage proposal and did not marry his daughter Qin Yuan to Min Rui.

Judging from the tone of the couple's conversation, the two are definitely not in love, and it even sounds that not only is there no emotion, but they look at each other and hate each other.If it is said that Min Rui still can't forget Qin Yuan after many years, and is still brooding about the fruitless love back then, it is possible.

Probably because Xing Ji was far away and difficult to deal with, so Min Rui pointed the finger at Mr. Qin.

But at the moment Gu Ling is more interested in Mrs. Min's father.According to what Min Rui meant, his father-in-law was also in the capital, and he was going to do some secret business.Coincidentally, Duanmu Chen had just encountered an assassination last night, and when they got connected, the matter became clear: Mrs. Min's father should be one of the four assassins last night and the fifth person who finally responded.

However, Gu Ling and Su Liang tend to think that the mastermind behind last night's assassination is the mysterious force colluding with Situ Xie, and it is also the traverser who hides deep but is investigating them.

Therefore, Gu Ling immediately speculated that both Min Rui and Mrs. Min were related to that mysterious force, and they must know some secret.

……

Su House.

Seeing that it was noon, Su Liang felt strange that Gu Ling had not come back for a long time.Ordinarily, it doesn't take much effort to apply the needles. In the first two days, Gu Ling came back immediately after finishing her work.

"Why don't you go to Min Mansion to have a look?" Qi Yan asked.

Su Liang nodded, then shook her head quickly, "You go to the old doctor Gao's house first to see if he has returned." She had an intuition that if Gu Ling didn't come back, something unplanned must have happened, and she couldn't escape for the time being.But when the sky is bright and the sun is shining, if it is said that Gu Ling is in trouble and trapped, it is also unlikely.

Su Liang thought of Min Rui and his wife, and wondered if it was Gu Ling who found out that there was something wrong with them?After all, Gu Ling went to Min's house, if something happened, the most likely thing was about Min's house, and Qi Yanming came to ask about it, which might be a bad thing.

Qi Yan took the order and immediately went out to Gao's house.

During lunch, both Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er asked why Gu Ling hadn't come back yet, and Su Liang said he had something to do.

"Then how does master eat?" Ji Xiaoshu asked with a smile.

Zheng'er replied, "Master went to treat people, of course he was entertained."

"I know, to prick someone with a needle." Ji Xiaoshu nodded and asked Su Liang, "Doesn't that really hurt?"

Su Liang smiled, "Do you want to try?"

Ji Xiaoshu immediately shook his head, "I'm not sick, so I don't want to try it anymore. Master, please teach me to give people needles!"

"This is not a simple acupuncture, it requires a lot of medical knowledge. If you are interested, I will teach you slowly." Su Liang said.

The two little guys nodded in unison, expressing their interest.

After lunch, Su Liang drove them upstairs to take a nap, and Gu Xiaonuan was also coaxed to sleep.

After a while, Qi Yan came back, "Old doctor Gao is at home, he said that after Hou Ye finished giving acupuncture, the two of them left Min's house together. Hou Ye said that he would go to the Duke's mansion to visit Mr. Qin, so the two separated .”

Su Liang's expression was inexplicable, and he suddenly decided to visit Mr. Qin?This is not something Gu Ling would do.There must be some special reason, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Qin himself.

Then I heard Qi Yan say, "This subordinate went to the Duke's mansion again and saw Mr. Qin. He was at home and said that Lord Hou had indeed been there, but he didn't see anyone after entering the mansion, so he left again. I don't know where he went. Mr. Qin also said that he would come to the house to fish tomorrow and asked Lord Hou to make fried fish for him. "

Su Liang nodded, "I see."

Qi Yan frowned, "Then where can I find Lord Hou?"

"You don't need to worry about it, go and ask my fourth master to come over, and then you can go to eat." Su Liang waved his hand.

Based on the information he got at the moment, Su Liang was sure that Gu Ling's visit to see Mr. Qin was just an excuse, and he went to the Duke's Mansion just to "disappear" conveniently.As for where Gu Ling is, Su Liang guessed that it must be Min Shangshu's mansion.He found someone or something wrong in Min's house and needed to investigate secretly, so he turned back through the Duke's mansion where he could come and go freely.

When Cen Man learned that Su Liang was looking for her, she soon came to Yuanming Pavilion.

After entering the door, he took a look at Gu Xiaonuan who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, then sat down beside Su Liang, and asked her softly what's the matter.

"It's okay, this kind of sound won't wake her up." Su Liang said, "I would like to invite the fourth master to visit the Ministry of Industry Minister Min's Mansion, which is next door to the Duke's Mansion."

Cen Man asked what to do, remembering that the Min's house that Gu Ling had gone to today hadn't come back, she frowned, "Xiao Gu will be fine, right?"

Su Liang shook his head, "It's okay. I guess he is hiding somewhere in Min's house to monitor someone, most likely the one who just came back from Min's house is his patient Min Rui."

Cen Man understood, "I'll go over secretly to see if he's there. If he's there, I'll stay and let him come back?"

"Yes." Su Liang nodded, "It doesn't matter if he comes back or not, Master will go and see what he needs."

"Okay." Cen Man stood up after saying that, "I'll change into some light clothes and go."

……

Min Mansion.

Gu Ling heard that Min Rui and Mrs. Min had lunch and drank medicine, but they did not have any more "effective" conversations, and they did not mention what Mrs. Min was about to do, or her father's affairs.

Min Rou came in the middle.When Min Rou was around, the relationship between the husband and wife sounded much better, but as soon as she left, they returned to the state of mutual respect like ice.

Following Su Liang's instructions, Cen Man found Gu Ling under the back window of Min Rui's room.

Gu Ling's body was pressed against the wall, expressionless and motionless.

Cen Man knew that he must be eavesdropping on the people in the room, and this was very important, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed home without discussing with Su Liang in advance.

Gu Ling also saw Cen Man, so she knew that Su Liang must have sent her here.There is no need to talk about the tacit understanding between him and Su Liang.

Cen Man did not approach, but asked with gestures, do you need her to "change shift"?
Gu Ling nodded slightly before Cen Man quietly approached.She still didn't know why she was eavesdropping here, but it was inconvenient to ask right now.

Gu Ling raised one hand, faced Cen Man, wrote the word "female" on the palm of his hand, and then pointed to the wall.

Cen Man understood that it was the woman in the room who was watching.In this way, if Mrs. Min leaves the room, she must follow her.As for Min Rui, who is seriously ill, he can't go anywhere and can't do anything.

Then Gu Ling quietly left.

However, he didn't go home immediately, but went to Duke Qin's mansion again.

Old Duke Qin was taking a nap in the afternoon, when he saw Gu Ling suddenly appearing in his room, he was shocked, patted his chest, and stared at Gu Ling, "You boy, why are you so elusive today? What's the matter?"

"Go fishing at my house." Gu Ling said.

The corners of Old Master Qin's mouth twitched, "You came twice just to ask me to go fishing? Why? No, Qi Yan came here at noon and said he was looking for you, and I asked him to tell Xiaoliang that he would go fishing at your house tomorrow. You What's the matter?"

"Go today." Gu Ling said, "Don't let people know that I invited you to go. I'll wait for you when I go home."

In the blink of an eye, Gu Ling disappeared again. Mr. Qin was stunned for a while before he realized it, and couldn't help complaining, "How can Xiao Liang bear this kid's temper..." But he forgot that he once treated Gu Ling Ling praised him greatly, and always talked about Gu Ling when educating his grandson.

Of course, just a few words of complaint.Not long after, Mr. Qin changed his clothes, asked his servants to prepare a car, and said that he was going to Su's mansion for fishing.

Qin Kang happened to come over, "Didn't Dad say that we will go again tomorrow?"

Mr. Qin said in a godlike way, "I took a nap for a while and dreamed of Nuan Nuan. I miss her. Anyway, I'm fine today. Xiao Liang is not an outsider, so I don't need to say hello in advance."

Qin Kang smiled, "Okay. I wanted to play two games with dad."

"I want to play chess to find Xueqing's father, I don't have time." After saying that, Old Master Qin ordered his followers to take his fishing tackle and go out.

As soon as he got out of the yard, he turned to Qin Kang and said, "Your orchids are blooming, give me a pot."

Qin Kang raised a lot of precious orchids, one of which just bloomed this morning, coughed lightly when he heard the words, "Father is going fishing, what do you want with orchids?"

"How can there be any reason to come to the door empty-handed? Take it to Nuannuan to play with." Mr. Qin said cheerfully.

Qin Kang: ...There is no reason to come to the door empty-handed. Now the center of the Su Mansion seems to be the little girl Gu Nuannuan, but she is too young, what's so interesting about orchids?

But Qin Kang still let Mr. Qin take away his favorite flowers. After all, he also likes Nuan Nuan, so what is a pot of orchids?
When old master Qin left the mansion to go to Su's house, Gu Ling had already returned home in secret.

When Su Liang saw him, he asked, "Is there something wrong with Min Rui and his wife?"

Gu Ling nodded, "Mrs. Min's seal is black."

Su Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's not her who is sick, is she going to kill someone?"

Gu Ling nodded again, and said the useful information he overheard.

Su Liang was almost drunk, "Mrs. Min wants to kill Grandpa Qin? Is it because Grandpa Qin didn't marry his daughter to Min Rui? Min Rui is sick! After all these years, he has married a wife and had a daughter, and he still misses Qin What is Yuan doing?"

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "You will be punished."

Min Rui may not really love Qin Yuan that much, otherwise he wouldn't be with Mrs. Min and have a daughter.But he must get everything he wants, and if he doesn't get it, he will suffer and feel that others are sorry for his character.He is the youngest son of Old Shangshu Min, and he was obviously spoiled back then.Old Master Qin once mentioned that Min Rui was loved by his grandmother the most since he was a child, and Old Master Min couldn't control him.If you live too smoothly, you can't accept any setbacks and failures.

"Min Rui's father-in-law..." Su Liang thought thoughtfully, "Maybe he was one of the assassins last night, and it is more likely that the two escaped. The fact that their family of three can return to the capital shows that Mrs. Min's father is not a minor character. "

In this way, Su Liang also understood why Gu Ling kept monitoring Mrs. Min even after discovering the problem.Because this may be the breakthrough point for the biggest mystery they are facing at the moment, and they must not miss every word that Min Rui and his wife said, which may provide key information.

The reason why Su Liang asked Cen Man to go instead of Lao Mu was because Cen Man had been blind for many years, and her hearing was sharper than ordinary people, so she was suitable for surveillance and eavesdropping.

"Then Grandpa Qin..." Su Liang was wondering if Mrs. Min would do it today, and Cen Man would definitely rescue Mr. Qin at that time, but in this way, how would the couple react after the shady things were revealed?
Gu Ling stretched out her hand to rub Su Liang's eyebrows, "I invited him to fish, and he should be there soon."

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "Yes! If you delay the time and don't give that woman a chance to attack, she and Min Rui may give us more information."

In view of the fact that the top master last night was a dead man, Su Liang felt that once the matter was revealed, it might be difficult to pry Min Rui and his wife's mouth away. Even if they confessed, it would be difficult to verify the authenticity, and they might be misled.

Therefore, Mrs. Min's plan to kill Mr. Qin must be delayed without any trace, so that the couple thinks they are plotting something without anyone noticing.Maybe it would be even better if Mrs. Min's father went to find them.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Gu Ling looked at her daughter, and Su Liang went to make him a bowl of hot noodle soup.

Just after eating, Mr. Qin came, just as Gu Xiaonuan also woke up.

As soon as Mr. Qin entered the door, he went straight to Gu Xiaonuan with a pot of orchids in full bloom, "Nuan Nuan, what did Grandpa bring you?"

Then, Gu Xiaonuan grabbed the orchid with her small hand and pulled it away...

Mr. Qin laughed loudly, "Nuannuan is so powerful! He must be a master in the future!"

Su Liang: ...Everyone cares for Gu Xiaonuan as a treasure. She must shoulder the responsibility of being a strict mother and educate her daughter well.

Old Master Qin teased Gu Xiaonuan for a while before he remembered to ask Gu Ling what happened today.

It was Su Liang who explained, "The emperor was assassinated last night, and two assassins escaped. We are afraid that Grandpa Qin will be in danger."

Mr. Qin looked strange, "Why is it that I am in danger when the assassin escapes?"

Su Liang said bluntly, "Actually, Gu Ling overheard that Min Rui and his wife were plotting to kill Grandpa Qin."

Old Master Qin looked at Su Liang in disbelief, "Who? Min Rui? He wants to kill me? Why..." Before he finished speaking, Old Master Qin already realized why, because apart from the rejected marriage more than 20 years ago, There is no other possibility.

"He's just...crazy! I don't know what to say! He's insane! Back then, I saw that he was indecisive, self-willed, incompetent and arrogant! Why should you marry your daughter to him?" Mr. Qin scolded angrily.

Gu Xiaonuan babbled a few times, and Mr. Qin quickly calmed down, "Don't be afraid of Nuannuan, the grandpa scolded the beast."

Gu Xiaonuan was not afraid, she just wanted to play outside.

After Gu Ling finished eating the noodles, she put down her chopsticks and went out with Gu Xiaonuan in her arms. Mr. Qin took a deep breath and said with a cold face, "So Xiao Gu is going to see if I'm okay? What are you going to do?"

"Grandpa Qin keeps his face and pretends he doesn't know anything. Be careful. Our people are staring at the couple. If they attack, we will stop them. But before that, we have to investigate them secretly, so we can't startle the snake." Su Cool said.

Mr. Qin's expression was condensed, "You mean, besides murdering me, they have other suspicious things?"

Su Liang nodded, "Mrs. Min Rui's background is very suspicious."

Mr. Qin knew that what Su Liang said meant that he was close to each other.He took a deep breath, "Then the rest of the Min family will not be in danger, right?"

"They want to do 'big things', and they won't act rashly." Su Liang said.However, murdering Mr. Qin is already an incident. It has something to do with the superficially loving relationship between Min Rui and his wife. Because of this, the couple's interests are inconsistent and they think different things. Conflicts will cause trouble.

"I understand." Mr. Qin nodded, "Then I'll listen to you. I go out every day these days, and I don't leave orders."

If Gu Ling hadn't called Mr. Qin over, he would have been fishing in his garden this afternoon, and his fishing habit was not to let his servants watch over him, lest any movement would disturb the fish.It's usually fine, but if someone wants to deliberately harm him, it will be dangerous.

This is also the reason why Gu Ling saw the black mist between Mrs. Min's eyebrows.If she doesn't try to stop her, she has a great hope of succeeding.

Su Liang smiled, "Grandpa Qin doesn't need to be nervous, nothing will happen."

"Of course I believe you. It's just... oh!" Mr. Qin sighed deeply, "It's all evil fate!" He thought of his daughter again.Although the son-in-law Xing Ji also made Mr. Qin dissatisfied, at least his character is fine.

After talking about the business, Mr. Qin went fishing.

Looking at the bright sky outside, Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief.The mysterious force, the mysterious traveler, has revealed the tip of the iceberg, but the information we have now is far from enough...
