The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 357 Waiting for the loyal servant in the back alley

So, she made up a "mystery" left by Jiang Xun to test Tao Ran.

If Tao Ran is related to the people behind the scenes, then someone will soon come to her to "steal" evidence.

Although Gu Shiwei didn't say anything, Han Shiyan also understood what she meant, and now he felt a little confused.

Regardless of whether Tao Ran was right or wrong, at least what he said was true: Jiang Xun's teacher was Han Jingyan's father. Because it is so easy to verify, people with missing heads will just open their mouths.

Combined with Han Jingyan's passive handling of the case, and the phrase "the world of our fathers"...

He couldn't help but become suspicious of the Han family.

Although the Han family is not as rich as Mrs. Wang Yushi's daily income, the family has a profound background and there is no need to steal any tax money! The eldest uncle is already a very popular minister, so why would he instruct Li Changxing to assassinate officials?

Could it be that they secretly formed a team and had the intention of seizing the heir?
Han Shiyan pursed his lips and looked at Gu Shiwei aside.

If the eldest uncle or even the entire Han family is the murderer of Gu Younian, how should he get along with Gu Shiwei in the future? Just thinking about this, Han Shiyan felt that his heart began to twitch and hurt.

"Gu..."

Halfway through Han Shiyan's words, he heard movement in the back garden.

"You old man, you really think that your son will be an old man when he becomes an official. Even if he becomes a general, we will still be a mud-legged man in the countryside of Suzhou. That little brat has forgotten his roots and dares to scare me with death. What are you doing? Stop me from beating him to death with a mallet!"

"Look at what you are doing so obediently? Three sticks can't beat a fart. Why didn't you cry when your son died earlier?"

"Then Jiang Xun is dead, old man Jiang is crying so much that he has to ask his own father to pay tribute to his son. You are a good old guy, and you haven't done anything for a long time. Maybe you think that no one will be able to take care of your son after he dies. You, you still want to go out and steal people!"

"What are you still waiting for? Why don't you water it faster? What's so good about this capital is that even if it doesn't rain, the vegetables will be dried to death!"

Gu Shinwei ate the pear candy and listened to the movement inside. After a while, a slow voice came out, "I'm not thinking about whether our Fugu Village's feng shui has been ruined and our hair is white." People send black-haired people.”

"Ah! Crow's Mouth! My son is fine! You old thing!"

Gu Shiwei listened, speechless, and his breathing became weak.

Through the courtyard wall, the two of them could clearly hear the sound of splashing water. When the voices inside gradually faded away, the small black corner door opened.

Butler Wang of the Tao Mansion poked his head and looked around with a wary expression. When he saw Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan, his serious face suddenly became expressional.

His lips trembled, and he walked up to Gu Shiwei and said, "Master Gu, follow me."

Gu Shiwei nodded, and Butler Wang trotted towards the depths of the back alley. When he arrived at a locked door, he took out the key and opened the door.

There is an ordinary small courtyard here, which is covered with thick leaves. It looks like no one has lived in it for several years.

There were many holes in the paper on the windows, but no one had repaired them. Butler Wang glanced at the small courtyard with some nostalgia and bowed deeply to Gu Shiwei.

"Since Mr. Gu is waiting for me at the corner gate of the backyard, he must have recognized the old slave. At Mrs. Wang's birthday party three years ago, I was the one who sent you out from this corner gate. Your carriage was parked in the back alley. …”

"I didn't expect that things would change after three years..."

He sniffed as he spoke, wiped his eyes again, and looked at Gu Shiwei excitedly, "Since Mr. Gu entered the Imperial City Division, I have been waiting. Waiting to hear about the flying bird case. The day of re-investigation. Waiting for the day when Mr. Gu and my master can clear up their grievances..."

"This old slave has no ability and no way to avenge your lord. I can only find a way to return to this house and guard it for your lord."

"I thought that maybe one day, the master's wife and the young man could come back..."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and looked at Gu Shiwei with bright eyes, "I heard that your Excellency adopted a child named Jing... That child has leg problems that make it difficult for him to walk... That child..."

Gu Shiwei nodded towards Butler Wang.

The butler swayed and covered his mouth. His eyes were particularly firm and his voice was a bit softer.

"Okay, okay! Finally, my wait has not been in vain. I still want to watch our brother Jing get married and have children..." He said, wiping his eyes, "Your Excellency has been very kind to my Wang family. Even if the old slave trades his life for it, there is nothing he can do in return."

"Your Majesty came to ask Tao Ran today, but is Tao Ran related to the Fei Que case? If your Majesty has anything to ask, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Gu Shiwei didn't hesitate, "Does Tao Ran always have this kind of temperament? And that fake death pill?"

Butler Wang nodded, "Indeed, Mr. Tao is a bit out of character on weekdays. He is from Fugu Village in Suzhou. His ancestors have been farmers for eight generations, and his family is very poor. After entering Bianjing, he was worried that his family would make a joke, so So I found Yazi and bought some servants who had been released by wealthy families. "

"I was the one who entered the house after he entered the palace. I was shocked when I saw him taking this medicine for the first time, but Madam and the others were very calm."

"This time today is the longest time he has held his breath for the longest time. He didn't wake up, so Madam asked me to arrange it..."

Gu Shiwei was not surprised. They were officials in the same dynasty. Although he had never dealt with Tao Ran before, he could tell what his temper was as soon as he inquired about it.

"Does Tao Ran have any close supporters or people he respects? Or is there anyone from a high-ranking family with whom he has close contacts?"

Butler Wang thought for a while, "They are mainly old acquaintances from the front office and water transportation, and they are basically military attachés. On the other hand, Mrs. Wang Yuan's family background is good. She is the distant cousin of Lu Guogong, and her father was also born as a Jinshi. Now It’s not in Beijing.”

"Mrs. Wang often goes to the ladies' flower parties. One of the people she is close to is Mrs. Li from Jiubaixiang, and the other is Mrs. Qiu from the fourth room of the Han family. They are handkerchief friends in the boudoir."

Gu Shiwei listened and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a guy! What a great guy!
Are all the ladies in Bianjing City spiders turned into spirits? Just one person can bring out a bunch of acquaintances!

The Han family has a great business, so Gu Shiwei, the wife of the fourth room of the Han family, naturally didn't recognize her, but looking at Han Shiyan's unkind expression, she knew that the Han family, the fourth room of the Han family, should be his family.

As for Mrs. Li in Jiubaixiang, she couldn't be more familiar with her.

The mother of her good friend Li Mingfang is Mrs. Li from Jiubaixiang.
