Gu Shinwei looked at it, feeling sad and happy at the same time.

His father, Gu Younian, is the only connection between Qianji Chen and Izumo Sword Manor. Without her presence, Liu Yang would have sent this thing to Izumo Sword Manor, and the people in the manor could see it at a glance. This should be the only secret order.

Fortunately, she guessed correctly, otherwise she would have been stabbed to death by Chen Shenji's poisonous needle in the toilet. She would have died with her eyes open, and her infamy would have lasted forever.

She thought as she turned over the lid of the wooden box at her feet.

Sure enough, I saw a dense array of gleaming poisonous needles inside, which made my scalp numb.

She put the lid back on the wooden box. She didn't know how Chen Shenji installed the mechanism. She only heard a click and the wooden box returned to its original shape and became tightly sealed.

"Liu Yang, Chen Shenji said to leave this thing to me, so I took it away. I will return it to him when he comes out in the future."

Liu Yang outside the house listened and responded obediently.

He secretly raised his eyes to glance at Gu Shiwei, but saw that her expression was indifferent, and it didn't look like she was mentioning it casually.

How is this possible?
Li Zhenxian died, and Chen Shenji entered the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. How could he still survive?
If the people kill the officials, they will definitely die.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart, bowed his hands to Gu Shiwei, and stood up, "Liu Yang will never forget your kindness in supporting me. It's just that things like studying for the imperial examination are not something that ordinary people like us can dream about." of."

"Your Excellency must have noticed it. That day when Your Excellency came to my door, Yang deliberately took out a pamphlet and tried his best to show that he was a useful person. All he hoped was to be favored by Your Majesty and take me into the Imperial City Division."

Liu Yang said, clenching his fists.

Study to become a Jinshi, and become an official and stand out!What son doesn't want to be named on the gold medal list and parade through the streets for a day?
He dreamed that sometimes a scholar would come to the shop, and he could remember what he said as soon as he heard it. In terms of intelligence, he asked himself that he was as smart as anyone, but how could a rootless duckweed dream of becoming a towering figure? Big tree?
"My brother is simple and honest, easily deceived, and needs someone to look after him. Studying costs thousands of dollars, how can I get it in vain..."

Before Liu Yang finished speaking, he felt a chill on his head.

For a moment, he thought his hair had been blown away by the wind and he had become bald...

He looked up slightly and saw Gu Shiwei's hand on his head.

Liu Yang was startled and quietly looked at Gu Shiwei's chest and then at the shadow on the ground. Great!Not a ghost!It's a living person!
"You are only 13 years old now, and you are at the age to study. Why do you think so much?"

"There is no pie in the world of Yong Dynasty. I am willing to send you to study because you have something that I can use."

Gu Shiwei's voice was as cold as her hands, but Liu Yang felt inexplicably warm.

He breathed a long sigh of relief...

"What you are doing now is very useful to me. Before you pass the exam, I need you to help me find out some information. Don't worry, if anything happens to you, I will arrange the rest of your brother's life."

"Imperial City Division, this is not the place where a child like you should come."

Gu Shiwei said and took back his hand.

Although Liu Yang is young, she is very optimistic about him. If this child grows up in the future, he will definitely be an extraordinary person.

"You should know that Wang Quan of the Pen, Ink, Paper and Inkstone Shop is dead, right? Wang Xi did not receive the letter. He probably disappeared when he fell into the Yong'an River. In this process, there may be two groups Someone may have taken the letter."

"There were two people on the Yong'an Bridge who witnessed him falling into the water. One of them went into the water and fished Wang Quan out. Find those two people."

Liu Yang nodded. He thought calmly and added, "The second group of people you mentioned may be water ghosts!" "If someone hid in the river in advance and took away the letter while Wang Quan fell into the water, , and then escaped by water... If the two people on the bridge were really just passers-by and not the same group of people in the water, then the people in the water must be water ghosts!"

"Water ghost?" Gu Shiwei asked curiously.

When she was in Bianjing, she focused on practicing swordsmanship, and her understanding of these market affairs was far inferior to Liu Yang's.

Liu Yang nodded and explained patiently, "There are a group of people in Bianjing City who came from the water town. They are proficient in water skills and can hold their breath in the river for a long time. What they do is fish out corpses in lakes and search for sunken treasures in canals... In times of famine, he might even turn into a water bandit."

"We ordinary people call them water ghosts."

"The flow of the Yong'an River is slow, and there are many aquatic plants growing in it. If someone who is not familiar with it lurks in it, it will be easy to get entangled in the aquatic plants, making it difficult to escape... Moreover, this is the Northland, and there are not many people with water access. It is extremely likely that someone is there. I found a water ghost to act."

He said with a relaxed smile on his face.

Liu Yang solemnly saluted Gu Shinwei, "I am willing to obey your arrangements and do my best for you."

Gu Shiwei nodded, "I have arranged a teacher for you and will let Shili inform you. Be a good official in the future and let those people have a way out like you."

Liu Yang trembled and bent even lower.

He is just a boy who welcomes guests. Even if he is allowed to dream, he will not be able to dream such a big dream...

He wanted to ask Gu Shiwei if I could?But he didn't ask because Gu Shiwei had already given the answer.

Liu Yang's eyes turned red thinking about it. A thousand-mile horse met Bole. The most beautiful thing happened to him in his 13 years of life... It would have been great if it hadn't happened in the toilet.

"You should go back first. The restaurant opens early. If you don't go back, you won't be able to sleep for a few hours. If a child doesn't sleep enough, he will grow into a dwarf."

How wonderful it would be if Bole didn't have a long mouth!
Liu Yang thought, cupped his hands, and quickly climbed over the wall and left.

Gu Shiwei restored the toilet to its original state, picked up the wooden box and walked back to the main room where the memorial tablet was placed.

For a moment, those numerous tablets seemed to overlap with those of her father, mother, and brother.

None of them should have died, but they all died. Who will pay for these lives?
She thought, looking a little dazed.

Her memory of the murder case began on a sunny afternoon.

There was a large open space in Chengmingyuan, where her father Gu Younian often taught her swordsmanship. Her mother Zuo Tang would also show off her skills on weekdays, but since she became pregnant again, she relied solely on her mouth to practice swordsmanship.

The Gu family was devoted to studying and wanted to get ahead by taking the imperial examination.

Mr. Gu gave birth to several sons, but they all had mediocre qualifications and could hardly become great talents.The only person who could study well was her father Gu Younian.

But things didn't go as planned. Compared to studying, Gu Younian's talent in martial arts was even more amazing. How powerful was it?Even when walking on the road, Beidou, the martial arts master, would hold his little hand and say, "Young man, you are born to be my disciple because of your extraordinary bones"!
Gu Younian has a young mind and wants to be a knight-errant and travel around the world.

As a person like him, if he thought this way, he would do it casually.

The stories of young heroes are always indispensable for all kinds of romance. Not long after, Gu Younian married Zuo Tang, the heroine of Izumo swordsmanship...

Gu Shiwei has lived in the bird cage of the Gu family since he was a child, and grew up listening to the legends of his father and mother's proud reputation.
