After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 352 Song Linger is making trouble, does Tan know Xu?

At that time, night fell, and the Shaanbei Pier was shrouded in a tense and mysterious atmosphere.

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu sat opposite each other with solemn expressions.

He told Tan Zhixu the content of Fei Ge's letter, and the two people frowned at the disappearance of the secret guard.

"This matter is very strange. It stands to reason that these secret guards are all carefully selected capable people. How could they disappear silently?" Tan Zhixu said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with vigilance and determination.

"I suspect that there may be more unpredictable forces behind this." Gu Huaijing analyzed with a deep look, "Song Ling'er's sudden arrival in northern Shaanxi may not be an accident."

"Song Linger?" Tan Zhixu was surprised and felt that something was wrong.

Song Ling'er originally

Early the next morning, people in the teahouse started talking heatedly again. An old man selling tofu clapped his hands on the table and exclaimed: "Have you heard? All the informants sent by Mr. Gu are gone!"

"That's right!" A boatman next to him agreed, "It is said that it is also related to the person behind the scenes who controls the president of the Chamber of Commerce. It is really getting more and more complicated."

The news spread like wildfire, and people on the dock were panicked.

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu decided to investigate in depth. On the one hand, they stabilized people's hearts, and on the other hand, they made secret plans to prepare for the coming storm.

After Mr. Liu was taken down, the dock seemed calm on the surface, but in fact there was an undercurrent.

Many people admire Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu, but are also worried about the challenges they are about to face.

In an inconspicuous tavern, several dock workers were talking among themselves: "Master Gu and Shopkeeper Tan may have to deal with some big shot this time."

"That's right, then who is Song Ling'er? Why did she make such a big fuss when she first arrived?" The young scholar frowned in confusion.

While everyone was discussing, Gu Yu hurried over to find Tan Zhixu and whispered: "Master, I just got the news that Song Ling'er has entered the city, and she is accompanied by a group of followers with high martial arts skills."

When Tan Zhixu heard this, his eyes became firmer: "It seems that a tough battle is inevitable. Brother Jing, we must strike first."

Gu Huaijing clenched his fists and returned his firm gaze: "Xu Xu, don't worry, no matter who your opponent is, I won't let you get hurt at all."

That night, the moonlight was hazy, and the atmosphere on the dock became even more eerie.

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu disguised themselves, sneaked into the city, and laid a dragnet where Song Ling'er might appear.

Sure enough, not long after, Song Ling'er, dressed in black, appeared on the street with a group of followers. Her sharp eyes swept around, as if she had sensed the danger.

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu cooperated tacitly, showing off their master style with every move, and quickly surrounded Song Ling'er and her entourage.

Faced with the sudden change, Song Ling'er sneered and said, "Mr. Gu, you have a good trick."

"We just want to know the truth." Gu Huaijing pointed his sword pointedly at Song Ling'er and said firmly, "Why did my secret guard disappear for no reason? What is your purpose here?"

As the fierce battle broke out, the truth gradually emerged, and the mysterious force behind Song Ling'er also emerged. And all this was seen by the onlookers, whose faces were full of shock, fear, and incomparable admiration and expectation for Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu.

During the fierce fight, although Song Ling'er was stabbed in the right arm by Gu Huaijing's sword, she was so strong that she used her strength to jump onto the roof and disappeared into the night.

The onlookers were all amazed at this thrilling showdown and talked about it one after another.

"It's really not easy for the eldest lady of the Song family to have such skills!" The old man selling tofu was dumbfounded.

"Master Gu's momentum is truly unrivaled." The boatman was in awe.

The next day, Song Ling'er was injured and found Tan Zhixu. She looked pale but still proud and asked, "Are you and Gu Huaijing in the same group?"

Tan Zhixu sat in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, gently stroking the tea cup in his hand, and responded calmly: "I am the second wife of the Hou Mansion, you are the eldest lady of the Song family, and we are a family. Gu Huaijing is an official of the imperial court, how dare I interact with Does he have too many connections?"

Song Ling'er examined Tan Zhixu and couldn't find any flaw in her expression. She was secretly confused, but she could do nothing about it. She endured the pain and snorted coldly: "I hope it's as you said, otherwise, don't blame me for not missing my second brother."

At the same time, Gu Huaijing was secretly investigating for clues about the mysterious force. As the investigation deepened, he discovered that this force seemed to be related to some powerful people within the imperial court.

Gu Huaijing frowned, knowing that once this matter was revealed, it would cause a huge wave.

The news spread like wildfire at the dock. People were full of praise for Gu Huaijing's wisdom and bravery, but they were also worried about the huge crisis he was about to face.

In the tavern, several dockworkers discussed worriedly: "Master Gu is afraid that he will break the news this time. The person behind the scenes will not let him go easily."

The young scholar slapped the table and stood up, with admiration and expectation in his eyes: "If Mr. Gu can uncover this shady curtain, we will definitely be able to restore peace to northern Shaanxi!"

That night, the moonlight filled the streets and alleys, and Gu Huaijing stood alone at the top of the city, looking into the distance.

He knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he must move forward for the sake of the safety of the people and justice.

At this moment, Tan Zhixu was also praying silently in the Hou Mansion, with determination in his heart: "Brother Jing, no matter where you go, I am willing to fight side by side with you and ride the storm together."

Late at night, a dark shadow quietly sneaked into Tan Zhixu's yard, and it was Song Ling'er who came.

She knelt on one knee in front of Tan Zhixu and whispered: "Second sister-in-law, I believe you. But if someone uses my Song family to deal with Gu Huaijing, I will never tolerate it. I am willing to help you find out the truth."

Facing Song Ling'er's transformation, Tan Zhixu's eyes flashed with surprise and emotion. She held Song Ling'er's hand tightly: "Ling'er, what are you talking about? How can anyone use our Song family to deal with it?" Gu Huaijing, even if there is such a person, it has nothing to do with us."

In the early morning of the next day, the sun shone on the bluestone road in front of the Hou Mansion. Song Ling'er, dressed in gorgeous clothes, strode into the shop run by Tan Zhixu.

She looked around, her eyes as sharp as an eagle, and announced: "From today on, I, Song Ling'er, as the eldest daughter of the Hou family, will personally take over this shop."

The guys looked at each other, and one of the experienced shopkeepers stepped forward with a smile on his face but could not hide his doubts, "Miss, this shop has always been managed by the second lady. Our business is booming, so there is no need..."

"Nothing necessary?" Song Ling'er interrupted him and said coldly, "My Song family and Gu Huai Jing are at odds with each other. How can I let the people around him make a lot of money under my eyes? You just obey orders. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
