The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 613
Gu Chengyu knew that Ning's intention was to keep it as a gift, and such a precious thing must be put to practical use.

Ning really thought so, and Gu Cheng spent a lot of money, she felt a little distressed.

It's just that this child is too filial, and every time he comes, he always brings something to honor her and the old man.

And they were often expensive gifts, which made her a little embarrassed.

When the master was in glory before, it wasn't that no one gave rare treasures, but the ones were so precious that the master didn't allow her to accept them.

However, her eyelids are not so shallow.It seems that this child will not restrain himself until he is married and has a daughter-in-law to take care of him.

"There are still some left in my mansion, so don't worry about it, teacher's wife. Isn't that what you should do to respect your teacher and teacher's wife? Could it be that I often come to the mansion to eat, and my teacher's wife feels distressed?"

Gu Chengyu was grateful for the sincerity of his teacher's wife, and quickly said a few witty words, which made Ning laugh again.

"Look, our house is still short of your food? If you want to say that, next time you come, let the big kitchen pick up the pickles and radishes, so that I can get the old man's reputation of being stingy."

The Ning family's granddaughter has been here for the past two days, and today a junior is here, the more people are lively, the mood will inevitably be better.

Therefore, he also joked with Gu Chengyu.I saw her pointing at Gu Chengyu, laughing hard.

All the women and girls in the room covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed, even Yao Mengxian couldn't help laughing.

Gu Chengyu stayed in the Liang Mansion until the evening before returning, and just as he stepped into the inner courtyard, Ming Mo came to report, saying that news from Ying Nan Mansion had arrived.

"Go to the study!" After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he took the lead to enter the inner study.

"My lord! According to your instructions, our people have already gone to see the dead body of the little baby, and asked the neighbors to identify it. It's just that the dead body seemed to be suffering from some kind of disease. The body was covered with abscesses, and even the face was not spared. has become unrecognizable."

Ming Mo handed the note in his hand to Gu Chengyu to have a look, this is one of them, about the details of identifying the baby.

Gu Chengyu waved his hand, "Just tell me! I won't watch it."

Impatient to see these, he only needs to analyze the results.

"Your second uncle's little grandson's nickname is Xiaoyao. The body is similar to Xiaoyao's body, even fat and thin. Neighbors said that they looked very similar, but they couldn't be sure, after all, the face was completely different. Later I asked the shopkeeper of the nearby medical clinic, and they said that there is no such little baby to go to the doctor."

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Have you asked about this disease? What is it? Could it be smallpox? But smallpox doesn't come on so fast. Even the doctor can't afford to ask, how fast is this? Unless it's poisoned."

"I have already asked those doctors, and they said that smallpox may be more serious, but they said the same as you, saying that there is no such fast."

Ming Mo knew that the adults of his family knew a little about medicine, so he was not surprised.

Gu Chengyu frowned, and then thought of something.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Have you shown the body to the doctor? Are you sure it's smallpox?"

Ming Mo hesitated for a moment before replying: "It is said that I invited it, but the doctor said that he would not treat the dead. The servants who were sent gave him money, but none of them agreed, saying that if it was too expensive, it might be contagious. "

"Let's not be too blatant. After all, the little baby has been dead for several days and was dug out from the ground. It's not good to be too hard on those doctors, lest they spread the word outside."

Gu Chengyu also knew that the ancients shunned these things, and it was normal for them to refuse to look at them. This should not have much to do with the whole matter.

The most important thing now is to find out whether the little baby is Xiaoyao or not.

"Is there any birthmark on Xiaoyao? Have you asked the neighbors to identify it carefully?"

Gu Chengyu knew that the people behind the plan had thoughtful plans, and the planners were very thoughtful.However, if one hundred secrets are neglected, one's feet will be exposed in the end.

The tell is not on the side of the mysterious man, but on Gu Changbai's side.

So, don't be afraid of god-like opponents, but be afraid of pig-like teammates.

Even if nothing was found in Yingnan Mansion, there must be something unusual found in Gu Changbai and Gu Wanfang.

"The neighbors said that they don't know too well, and they haven't seen any birthmarks on Xiaoyao's body."

Ming Mo shook his head and remembered another thing.

"However, there are some clues about patting Hanako."

"How do you say it?" Gu Chengyu knew that Xiaoyao would not get any useful information from him, and when he heard Pai Huazi, he lifted his spirits again.

"The stalker has always been a criminal on the run. Later, when he first arrived in Yingnan Mansion, he was arrested by the prefect of Yingnan Mansion."

Speaking of going to Yingnan Mansion, Gu Chengyu wanted to ask Wu An to help introduce him to open Juxianglou to Yingnan Mansion.

But later, Wu An said that he was not very familiar with the new magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture, so he found a fellow prefect of Yingnan Prefecture.

If you want to check, check whose faction this magistrate belongs to, maybe you can get the answer.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there are other factors involved, it's too troublesome, it's better to stare at Gu Changbai's grandfather and grandson.

"So, I got the news in advance. It seems that the person who took the photo was sent to Yingnan Mansion. Let the people of Yingnan Mansion withdraw it! Yingnan Mansion has found nothing."

Gu Chengyu remembered that Mingmo had sent people to watch the grandpa and grandson these two days, and wondered if they found anything.

"My lord, there is one more thing. You asked people to follow Gu Er's grandfather and grandson, and found that they left the mansion, and indeed said a few words. It's just that Gu Er was very cautious, and our people only vaguely heard a few words. But they were too careful and almost got caught."

"What did you say?" Gu Chengyu felt that Gu Changbai and the others must have said something related to this matter when they left the mansion, but it was a pity that Gu Changbai's vigilance was not small.

Speaking of this, Ming Mo was a little embarrassed, "I only heard about Xiao Yao, what's the purpose?"

"That's all? Did they talk after going back?"

Gu Chengyu didn't expect to hear only this point, but he also concluded based on this point that the dead baby must not be Xiaoyao, maybe Xiaoyao is still alive, but was taken away by those people.

Those people, Li Daitao froze, replaced Xiaoyao with other children.

I just don't know if it was because of the illness, or because of this matter, the innocent little baby was harmed.

"They went into the house as soon as they got back, and the conversation was very quiet, and our people couldn't hear it even if they got close."

Ming Mo was a little disappointed with the group of people that Gu Chengyu later bought. Compared with the T-generation, these people had been trained for longer, but they were not as alert and calm as the T-generation.

Gu Chengyu stroked the paperweight on the table and pondered for a while.

"Find a chance. Don't disturb Gu Changbai and take Gu Wanfang here. He must know something inside."

Ming Mo was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, Gu Wanfang didn't study and stayed in the inn all day.

Gu Changbai doesn't do other business, the two of them can be said to stay together all the time, the difficulty of this matter is how to keep Gu Changbai from knowing.
