Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 211 Taking the Body as Bait
The shadow of Jin Linwei can be seen everywhere on the street, but it happened after Gu Changbo's accident, which made Baiguan Xungui have many speculations about Gu Changbo's death.

The street where Guchangbo's mansion is located is completely white, with the sound of mourning and music.

Mrs. Gu Changbo endured grief and fear to manage the funeral, and Dai Ze, who was titled the No. [-] rich man in the capital, seemed much more sensible.

Until he heard that Ms. Kou from Qingsong Bookstore sent someone to send a sacrificial ceremony.

"Miss Kou—" Dai Ze murmured, and suddenly jumped up, "Mother, I have something to go out for!"

Mrs. Gu Changbo asked hoarsely, "Where are you going?"

"There is something urgent, come back soon!"

Dai Ze was still wearing filial piety clothes, but ran out regardless.

The steward chased after the reminder, Dai Ze took off his filial piety hat and rode away.

At this time, there were also some people who came to express their condolences. Seeing this scene, they looked at each other with a meaning in their eyes: there is such a dude, Guchangbo's mansion will be destroyed.

But this is just a feeling for Guchangbo's son being so generous. Guchangbo's mansion is not so easy to fall, after all, there is still King Qing.

Dai Ze didn't think so much, he only knew that his father died inexplicably, and Miss Kou is a capable person, maybe she can clear up his doubts.

He rode his horse and rushed to Qingsong Bookstore.

It was still early in the morning, not long after the bookstore opened, Shi Shi was walking out with a broom, and almost collided with Dai Ze who ran in.

"Where's Miss Kou?" Dai Ze asked, grabbing Shi Shi's skirt.

Shi Shi was stunned: "Mr. Dai?"

Liu Zhou rushed over when he heard the movement: "Mr. Dai, are you looking for our boss? Shitou, go and call the boss here."

Dai Ze let go of his hand, and the stone got free and ran away quickly.

Shopkeeper Hu also surrounded him: "Mr. Dai, please sit down."

Originally, they had seen too many young masters from wealthy families, so they wouldn't be so cautious.But Mr. Dai just died, what if he goes crazy?
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xin You to come over.

"Master Dai—"

Dai Ze rushed over and grabbed Xin You's wrist: "Miss Kou, I have something to look for you!"

Xin You's eyes fell on the boy's hand holding her wrist, and she wasn't annoyed: "Then let's talk in the reception room."

In the reception room, the apricot blossoms in the big belly blue vase were replaced by wild cherry blossoms, and spring is everywhere.

Xin You spoke first: "I've heard about your mansion. My condolences to Mr. Dai."

Dai Ze couldn't listen to such polite words at all, he stared at Xin You and asked, "Miss Kou, don't you know how to read physiognomy? Can you see why my father was killed?"

In the past few days, he has been in a daze, as if in a dream, and he doesn't believe that his father is dead at all.

How could it be, his father scolded him obviously before entering the palace, as he did many times before.

But this time, it was his father's body that came back.

Xin You took a careful look at Dai Ze, with a strange look on her face, but she shook her head: "I, a little girl, can't talk about matters of the Tian family."

Dai Ze noticed the strangeness of the girl opposite and became excited: "Miss Kou, did you see something? You must have seen it! Tell me, I promise not to talk nonsense!"

In front of Xin You, the young man shed tears.

Xinyou hesitated.

"Miss Kou, I beg you!" Dai Ze's eyes were red, and there was a madness that would not stop until he reached his goal.

Xin You's expression was shaken, and she finally said, "From Mr. Dai's face, I can only see that Ling Xianzun's accident is related to—"

"What is it related to?" Dai Ze asked nervously.

Xin You showed embarrassment: "I told you, Mr. Dai probably won't believe it."

"You say so!"

"It's related to His Royal Highness King Qing."

Dai Ze's first reaction was impossible: "How could my cousin harm my father!"

Xin You's tone was calm: "It's not that His Royal Highness King Qing harmed Ling Xianzun, but that it was related to him."

"What is that for?" Dai Ze felt relieved.

He couldn't accept the possibility that his cousin killed his father at all.

Xin You shook her head slightly: "I can see this because Mr. Dai and Ling Xianzun are blood relatives. As for why it is related to His Highness King Qing, I can't tell from your face."

"I can't tell—" Dai Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then what if I show my cousin? Will you see it?"

"This—" Xin You frowned, "I don't know. Besides, His Royal Highness King Qing wouldn't believe this..."

Daize left, just like when he came, he hurried away.

Xin You stood outside Qingsong Bookstore, watching the young man galloping away from sight with a blank expression on his face.

The bait has been cast, will it attract that fish?
Xinyou is quite confident about this.

The death of Uncle Gu Chang had a great impact on Queen Qing's mother and son.If King Qing didn't know, he would be no less eager to know the truth than Dai Ze.If he knew, how could he be indifferent to her who said this.

Dai Ze went straight to Prince Qing's Mansion.

Gu Changbo is King Qing's uncle, no matter what taboos he committed against Emperor Xing Yuan, King Qing could not stay out of it, otherwise it would be too cold to talk about.In the past few days, King Qing went to Guchangbo Mansion in the morning, and returned to the mansion when it was dark.

At this time, King Qing was about to go out, when he saw Dai Ze, he was shocked: "Cousin, why are you here?"

"Cousin, I have something to tell you." Dai Ze swept away the people following King Qing with a solemn expression.

King Qing waved his hand to signal the waiters to back down: "What do you want to say, cousin?"

"Do you know what happened to my father?"

King Qing's expression froze, and his tone was warning: "I don't know. Cousin, I don't care what you usually do. Don't mess around at this time."

He was already terrified by his uncle's sudden murder and couldn't sleep at night, if his cousin made any trouble, it would be a disaster for him.

"Miss Kou might know." Dai Ze lowered his voice.

"Who?" King Qing shouted, with veins popping out of his forehead.

"Miss Kou."

King Qing stared closely at Dai Ze: "Cousin, this is not the time for joking."

"I didn't! Cousin, haven't you heard that Ms. Kou knows how to look at faces? Before the earthquake in Beiloufang area, so many people survived because Ms. Kou saw that a prison student in the Imperial College had a bloody disaster, and that student lived there." In Beiloufang..."

After hearing Dai Ze's words, King Qing felt it was absurd: "Do you also believe such bizarre rumors?"

"Of course it's not the only thing. Cousin knows about Zhang Xu, right? He gets beaten every month because he failed the exam. Years ago, she went to Ms. Kou to see her. Ms. Kou said that he wouldn't get beaten in this monthly exam. Guess what? Zhang Shoufu was too busy to go home because of the disaster in Dingbei, he really escaped..."

King Qing still didn't believe it, but Dai Ze's words didn't seem to be fabricated, so he asked: "Even if Miss Kou really has this ability, my cousin just asked her to go and see, what did you come to the palace for?"

Dai Ze paused for a moment, with a heavy expression on his face: "I've searched, Miss Kou found out that my father's accident is related to my cousin..."

King Qing's eyes tightened, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Why is it related to me?"

Dai Ze didn't see the murderous intent in King Qing's eyes, and said to himself: "She can't see much from my face. If my cousin asks her to take a look—"

"shut up!"

King Qing shouted, Dai Ze was stunned.
