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

Chapter 46: It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves, so they’ll use them to their advantage

Compared with Gu Yu's doubts and worries, Tan Zhixu was much calmer.

She opened the curtain with her hand and looked towards the street. Gu Huaijing's extremely enchanting face flashed in her mind.

In fact, his face is the most beautiful one on a woman's body. It's a pity that he has a cold face all day long.

"Miss?"

Gu Yu waited for a long time, but did not see Tan Zhixu replying to him. He suddenly became anxious and called out slightly coquettishly.

Tan Zhixu turned his head, looked into Gu Yu's indignant eyes, chuckled and said, "Lead the snake out of its hole."

Gu Yu felt that his brain was not enough again.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Tan Zhixu blankly, and saw that her young lady had a smile as bright as a flower.

"If someone really poisoned Gu Huaijing, and he hasn't detoxified yet, do you think the person who poisoned him will take action?"

"Yes, of course he won't be able to sit still. Mr. Gu is really smart."

Gu Yu suddenly understood, silently gave a thumbs up, looked at Tan Zhixu, the smile in his eyes became stronger, "Miss, do you and Mr. Gu have an understanding of each other? You know him so well, do you really not think about it anymore? "

"Don't say this in front of outsiders. Even if someone asks, you must say you're not familiar with it, you know?"

Tanzhi Xu Qiandu looked at Gu Yu imploringly. It was not that he thought this girl would betray him, but he was worried that she would be tricked by others, especially a scheming person like Song Ling'er.

Gu Yu nodded fiercely.

Of course she understood this, but she just felt it was a pity.

After Gu Huaijing detoxified, Tan Zhixu never met him again.

Three days later, something happened at the dock, and Gu Huaijing didn't show up. It was Teng Xi who came with the guards to investigate.

"Miss Tan, are you okay?" Teng Xi looked around Tan Zhixu from top to bottom and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no external injuries.

Tan Zhixu had a panoramic view of his movements, and it seemed that Gu Huaijing was responsible again.

"It's okay, Master Teng. The goods on the Houfu pier were robbed. How do you think this should be handled?"

Tan Zhixu expected that the Zhou family would take action, so he sent people to guard him every night. Last night, Foreman Liu sent people to the Hou Mansion to send a message.

"Second Madam, someone wants to rob the goods."

Upon hearing the news, Tan Zhixu couldn't hide his excitement and directly asked the messenger to go back and report, "Let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Even though Foreman Liu looked like a rough guy, he understood what Tan Zhixu meant. He let his brothers fall asleep and watched helplessly as the group of people in night clothes took the goods away, and they followed quietly.

In the early morning of the next day, Tan Zhixu pretended to have just learned about the matter and came to the dock in a panic. At the same time, he asked Gu Yu to go to Hedao Yamen.

When the officer heard that the Hou Mansion had lost its goods, he became extremely nervous. After all, the Hou Mansion's goods accounted for most of the dock. If they were all lost, it would be a big case.

After the yamen officer reported the matter to the commander-in-chief, Gu Huaijing found out not long after.

He had been pretending to be injured in the past few days, so naturally he couldn't go to the dock in person, so he asked Teng Xi to go.

"Come here, count the goods, seal off the dock, and call out all those who were at the dock last night for questioning."

"Yes."

Fujiki quickly investigated and quickly summoned everyone to start interrogation.

During the interrogation by the guards and government officials, Tengxi quietly came to Gu Yu and said, "Miss Gu Yu, thank you for the bezoar."

"It's okay, that's my little one..." Gu Yu blurted out. Halfway through her words, she suddenly thought that her young lady had told her not to let outsiders know about this matter.

Gu Yu covered her mouth, blinked and looked at Teng Xi, "You, what did you say? What bezoar? What is that?"

She pretended to be messy, but a smile flashed in Tengxi's eyes.

It's really the medicine given by Miss Tan. It seems that the master is not wishful thinking.

"It's okay. If Miss Gu Yu doesn't know, I won't ask. As for the goods, do you and Miss Tan have any suspicions?"

"I do, but my lady won't let me tell you." Gu Yu looked at Teng Xi in embarrassment.

Tengxi was confused for a while, then leaned over and whispered: "I won't tell others, I will investigate quietly." When their eyes met, Tengxi was quite sincere, while Gu Yu was quite scrutinizing.

In the end, Tengxi got what he wanted, and Gu Yu warned sternly, "Don't say it was me who said it."

"Yes, thank you Miss Guyu."

"It's hard work."

Guyu smiled and turned to look for Tan Zhixu.

Not long after, Gu Yu found Tan Zhixu in the crowd and gave her a reassuring gesture. Tan Zhixu smiled knowingly, walked slowly to Foreman Liu, looked around, and whispered: "In an hour, the goods will be delivered." Move it away, deliver the goods as originally planned, and leave evidence to prove that our goods were stored there."

"Yes, little one understands."

Foreman Liu nodded naively.

Here Tengxi asked everyone, no one saw who moved the goods last night, but he found a piece of silver where the goods were lost.

It is engraved with the seal of the Hou Mansion.

Teng Xi looked at the money in his hand and then at Gu Yu.

No wonder this girl suspected that Zhou, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, was hiding and stealing because she couldn't make any money.

Thinking of this, Tengxi left with his guards, leaving the yamen servant to continue the investigation.

Canal Admiral's Residence.

Tengxi quickly came to Gu Huaijing's bedroom with his robe in hand, "Sir, Miss Tan has lost some goods."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Huaijing looked helplessly at Teng Xi.

If he remembered correctly, he asked Teng Xi to investigate.

Facing Gu Huaijing's helpless eyes, Teng Xi reacted and smiled awkwardly, "Sir, the silver coin found at the crime scene belongs to the Hou Mansion. My subordinates checked that it belongs to the big house of the Hou Mansion."

"You suspect Mrs. Zhou?"

"It's not a suspicion, it's probably because Gu Yu said that Miss Tan has made a lot of money for the Hou Mansion recently, but the shops run by the Zhou family are not profitable. The subordinates thought that she was jealous, so she committed theft."

"Check the warehouse in the Zhou family's name in the Hou Mansion. It was lost last night. It should not be transported away today."

"Yes."

Teng Xi raised his feet and was about to leave, but suddenly turned back to look at Gu Huaijing, "Sir, the bezoar was indeed given to me by Miss Tan."

Gu Huaijing, who was doing a river patrol map, froze in his hands and slowly raised his eyes to look at Teng Xi.

Teng Xi nodded, "It's Gu Yu."

"Go and check."

"Yes."

After Teng Xi left, Gu Huaijing could not calm down. He put down his pen and came to the window to look at the peach blossom tree not far away.

For whom do the peach blossoms bloom?

"Tan Zhixu, what do you want to do?"

Gu Huaijing was full of doubts, but could never find the answer.

At this time, Foreman Liu had already sent people to move all the goods away. After leaving evidence, he hid in the dark and saw Teng Xi bringing people to investigate, and then quietly went back to tell Tan Zhixu.

Everything was according to Tan Zhixu's plan. She didn't waste a moment and hurried back to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as she arrived in the backyard, she heard the sounds of Zhou and Lian'er confronting each other. She turned her eyes and lifted her skirt to enter.

"Sister-in-law, something is wrong!"

Tan Zhixu hurriedly came to Zhou, not caring about her quarrel with Lian'er, and directly pulled her to one side, "The goods at the dock were stolen? Have the goods from your shop arrived in the past few days?"
