Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 64
Gu Zhou stopped and said, "What's the hurry?" and left.

Xiao Wang said: "There are too few clues. It's not that easy to find out. Take your time!"

"I think it's hard to find someone to use as a scapegoat! I'm so annoyed with the whining, how about I admit it?" Ji Yunchen looked at Xiao Wang with a half-smile but not a smile.

"Yun Chen, stop joking. Everyone here can recognize me, except you."

"Why can't I? So what if I just kill those Dayuan people?" Ji Yunchen disagreed.

Xiao Wang sighed: "You still like to act impulsively, and you haven't changed it after all these years."

"I don't have the ability to change things when His Highness the Crown Prince asks. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a deep love, which makes others envious." Ji Yunchen had a sneer in his eyes.

Xiao Wang stopped talking and took a deep breath: "There are some things that can't be explained in just a few words. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Ji Yunchen sneered: "How am I qualified to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to explain anything to me? Nan Zhi is no longer here anyway."

Ji Yunchen took the food and left. He passed by Prince Su He and ignored him without even glancing at him.

Prince Su He was very angry. This son was too arrogant, and he became arrogant because of his family background and the military achievements he had picked up after following Shangguan Feng.Even the Emperor of Da Qi had to be polite and give him three points when he saw him. Is this guy a piece of cake?

Prince Su He came to Xiao Wang's table and sat down.

"Your Highness, this little prince is too rude to you. He doesn't act like a courtier at all." Su He provoked discord.

Xiao Wang smiled bitterly: "There is some misunderstanding between me and him. He is annoyed with me!"

"You are the king, and he is the minister. Don't you have a saying in Daqi... If the king wants his minister to die, he must die. Even if you are sorry for him, he deserves to suffer. How dare you slander him? This is in our great abyss, He would have been taken out and beheaded a long time ago."

"Daqi and Dayuan are still different." Xiao Wang said in a good temper.

Prince Su He shook his head inwardly. It seemed that the newly promoted Crown Prince was weaker and more incompetent than his father.

However, this is a good thing for Dayuan.

One after another, the adults all got up. Everyone had breakfast and waited for Gu Zhouting to arrange today's investigation. As a result, Gu Zhouting's attendant said that Mr. Gu stayed up all night sorting out the files and needed to catch up on his sleep in the morning.

This……

When everyone was resting, Gu Zhou stopped working alone. When everyone was rested and energetic and ready to start work, he ran to sleep.

What is this called?
All the adults looked at His Royal Highness.

Xiao Wang wanted to say: Then everyone should continue to rest.

Prince Su He said: "Master Gu, can't you handle the case without him? In my opinion, your method of handling the case is too mild and has no deterrent effect at all. You should conduct a large-scale search. Maybe you can find some evidence." , and then torture each suspect..."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Wang interrupted him.

"Master Gu is the presiding judge of this case. How to investigate the case must be based on Master Gu's opinion."

"Then search, in case there is any unexpected discovery."

Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's fine."

Gu Zhou stopped in the room and closed his eyes to rest. Mo Yu came in and said, "Sir, Prince Su He proposed to search the inn, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed."

Gu Zhouting raised the corners of his lips: "Can't you stand it any longer?"

Mo Yu discovered just yesterday that Prince Su He's people were sneaking through every corpse, as well as the rooms of Luo Du and others.

It seemed that there was no gain, so Su He became anxious.

"My lord, what do you think they are looking for?"

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Dayuan's caravan has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Daqi in the past two years. Do you think they are really doing business? They are just selling dog meat on sheep's heads. What they do is the behavior of spies. They must have some traces of... We have important information related to Da Qi, otherwise Su He won’t come here in person, just send a subordinate.”

"What should we do? What if the things are found..." The warrior who killed Dayuan was exposed.

Gu Zhouting didn't take it seriously: "Since this man can kill thirteen people from Dayuan without a trace, this little thing shouldn't trouble him. However, you'd better keep an eye on him."

"Yes!" Mo Yu retreated.

Gu Zhouting continued to close his eyes and rest his mind. This case was becoming more and more interesting.Yu Niang came out of the kitchen with a food box and was about to go upstairs when she was stopped by a guard: "Don't go up. We have to search every room. Everyone must gather in the lobby."

After the guard finished speaking, he left. Yu Niang hesitated on the spot, not knowing whether to go up and call her or listen to the guard and wait below.

At this moment, someone suddenly bumped into her from behind. Yu Niang staggered and was about to fall down.

One hand supported her, and the other caught the food box that was almost out of her hands.

"Is the lady all right?"

Yu Niang was shocked, and when she looked back, she found that it was an official who was one of the suspects.

This man is tall and tall, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He is the most handsome among the officials. I don’t know his name.

The man handed the food box back to her and clasped his fists at her: "I'm sorry, I left in a hurry and didn't see my wife standing here, which frightened her."

He was so polite that Yu Niang was embarrassed to lose her temper: "Look more carefully next time."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Yuniang went to occupy an empty table first, and after a while, Jiang Wanning came down.

Lin Ruoruo muttered: "Aren't you looking for the murderer? Why are you still checking the house?"

Lin Ruoruo complained quite a bit about the ward rounds. They were women's dependents, and the boxes were filled with women's underwear. Is it normal for a group of men to rummage through them?

Jiang Wan Ning's attitude was calm: "We are the people and they are officials. We can't stop them from doing what they want to do. Let them go!"

"Madam, let's have breakfast first! I made some millet porridge, but I might have spilled it."

Yu Niang opened the food box: "Hey... what is this?"

Jiang Wanning's heart skipped a beat when she saw the thing, and she quickly held down Yuniang's hand to stop her from taking out the bamboo tube.

"Let me see, has the porridge been spilled?" Jiang Wanning stood up and leaned over, looking around. Fortunately, no one was paying attention, so she quietly stuffed the bamboo tube into her sleeve.

"It's okay, it's okay, it only spilled a little."

Lin Ruoruo and others looked at her in surprise.

Jiang Wanning whispered: "Just pretend that nothing happened, otherwise everyone's life will be in danger."

The government officials and Prince Suhe's people searched the room with great fanfare. They must be looking for something, which is very important.

But now a bamboo tube appears out of thin air in Yu Niang's food box. This bamboo tube may be what the government is looking for.

Can she prove her innocence by handing over the bamboo tube now?
That's impossible. She and her people will be regarded as the first suspects, and they will definitely face severe torture.

So, she had to keep this thing safe.

Lin Ruoruo and others turned pale.

Yuniang’s hands shaking when serving dishes.

"If you don't want to die, calm down."

Everyone secretly adjusted their breathing and forced themselves to calm down.

"Yu Niang, who has touched this food box?" Jiang Wanning asked in a low voice.

Yu Niang looked around, her eyes locked on the official who was far away from their table.

He was the only one who touched the food box.

Jiang Wanning followed Yu Niang's gaze and looked at the official.

The man smiled at her.

Jiang Wan Ning looked back expressionlessly, wondering: Why does this guy think things are safe with her?What makes him think she will keep his secret?
