The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

When Gu Deyin heard the details of his father and brother being hunted, his hands clenched into fists out of anger. He wished he could return to the capital right now and kill Xu, Mu and others.

No wonder no news came back to either of them. It turned out that all the ways out were blocked by the enemy. The reason why they were able to survive for so long was all thanks to Bo Qingya bringing many good soldiers and the cover of the mountains and forests. Otherwise, they would have died long ago. .

If she had no memory of her previous life and failed to remind her sworn brother Bo Qingya, the consequences would be the same as in her previous life. Just thinking of this made her shiver with fear.

"It's okay. Don't worry. I promise you that I will rescue both your father and brother safely..."

Xiao Mingzhang saw her shivering constantly and quickly held her hand to calm her down.

Unexpectedly, the furious Gu Deyin threw away his hand and shouted at him.

"When I informed the prince about this matter before, the prince promised me that he would protect my father and brother. He also sent your cronies to deal with the matter. Why is this situation still happening?"

After shouting these words, she began to regret it. Now and then, Xiao Mingzhang is not a god. He cannot predict all subsequent developments. It is even worse to blame him now.

Seeing Xiao Mingzhang's eyes dimming, she quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't vent to you, I'm just... too worried about them..."

At this point, she was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

Xiao Mingzhang said solemnly, "You don't need to apologize. I didn't do a good job in this matter."

Gu Deyin had regained her senses by now. Abusing and blaming each other was of no use at this moment. Besides, Xiao Mingzhang didn't owe her anything.

"No, you have lost your memory. It is not your turn to be responsible for what happened in the past. Besides, I don't know what happened to the people you sent. After all, it is beyond your reach and it is understandable that you are beyond your power."

She took the initiative to reach out and hold Xiao Mingzhang's cold hand. At this moment, she was the considerate Gu Deyin again.

"Don't be affected by what I just said. It was just nonsense that I was distracted by. It cannot be taken seriously. Besides, I still need your help."

Xiao Mingzhang looked at her steadily for a long time, making sure that what she said was true, and his expression softened a little.

When he looked at the secret guard again, he was still the regent.

"You have heard what Miss Gu said. Go and find out what happened to the people who were sent to rescue Mr. Gu and his party."

The secret guard immediately fled after responding.

But before he left, he took another deep look at Gu Deyin. Before, he thought it was very strange that the prince only remembered Gu Deyin after losing his memory. Looking at it now, it seemed that the prince had ulterior motives.

He is also a man, and he understands how a man looks at a woman.

The way the prince looked at Gu Deyin now was different from any other woman he had looked at before.

After understanding his master's attitude towards Gu Deyin, he worked even harder on this matter, always trying to please the woman his master liked.

As for whether Gu Deyin can become the hostess, it depends on her fortune. This is not something he, a secret guard, would think about, but taking the opportunity to increase his presence in front of Gu Deyin is necessary.

As soon as he worked hard, he quickly found out the truth of the matter.

Only then did Gu Deyin know that the person in charge of the rescue sent by Xiao Mingzhang had already been killed by the government here, and then used his name to contact the palace, so that the palace was not suspicious.

Bo Qingya had been in charge of the government here before, and someone probably sent him a message secretly. He escaped with Gu Lao, but he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the bandits, and they kept going around.

The chief official of the government here was just a prefect. After checking his resume, I found out that he was inextricably linked to King Yu and had already secretly taken refuge with King Yu.

Gu Deyin suddenly realized, no wonder the Xu family and the Mu family would choose this place to do something. It turned out that this place was full of their own people. By analogy, the water bandits who killed her father in her previous life also colluded with the local government.

She wished she could give herself a slap in the face in her previous life, but she never suspected that this was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Thinking of Mu's cousin, her expression changed, and she suddenly stood up, drew another portrait of Mu's cousin, and handed it to Xiao Mingzhang, who looked solemn.

"Do you still remember this person?"

Xiao Mingzhang shook his head. He had no impression of this person at all.

"How can you draw his portrait?"

He seemed to be asking casually, but his hand holding the drawing paper couldn't help but tighten.

Gu Deyin didn't notice his little move and said directly.

"This is the cousin of Mu, the third wife of the Marquis of Xuanning. He is a military general in King Yu's fiefdom. It was he who acted as the intermediary to kill my father and brother. As long as this person's whereabouts are strictly investigated, it will not be difficult. Find out how many officials from various places he has contacted, and use this as a reference to find out many people from King Yu."

Xiao Mingzhang said before that he would investigate this person strictly, but what happened to him happened to happen, and the case is still under trial, so it is not surprising that Xiao Mingzhang has not taken any action yet.

After all, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Xiao Mingzhang's deployment was aimed at King Yu himself. As for those minions, he could only deal with them afterwards.

She doesn't mind contributing to this. The official who killed his father and brother in his previous life will definitely not get good things in this life, and this person will definitely be implicated.

She wanted to avenge herself from her previous life.

When Xiao Mingzhang heard this, he looked at Gu Deyin with more enthusiasm. She always surprises him inadvertently.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Deyin looked at him puzzled.

Xiao Mingzhang coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. The method you mentioned is feasible."

For some small officials who committed crimes, they were not within the scope of the attack. After all, there was no thief leader, so these people were nothing to worry about. They were slowly replaced afterwards. They could not make waves, but they could only disgust people.

But it’s not bad to eat these people in one pot, so as not to continue to be disgusted by them.

He handed the portrait to the secret guard.

"Immediately send people to investigate this man's whereabouts over the past few years. Everyone who has been in contact with him will be included in the focus of the investigation. Like the prefect of this place, once it is verified, he will be dismissed from office and will never be used. They will also be held accountable for their crimes. .”

The secret guard hurriedly accepted the task, but secretly his heart was full of enthusiasm. If he could handle this job well, he would definitely be promoted. As for whether he could be transferred to the front of the screen, it would depend on his luck. .

Gu Deyin saw Xiao Mingzhang's crispness in swatting away the secret guard, and couldn't help sizing him up.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Mingzhang felt uncomfortable looking at her, so he had to ask.

However, Gu Deyin cleared her throat and took the opportunity to ask the question she wanted to know most.

"Have you really lost your memory?" (End of Chapter)
