delicious little cook

Chapter 696 The whereabouts are unknown
When Gu Yun entered Chengjun Prince's Mansion, the big housekeeper who had been waiting at the door came forward to lead to the main room of the guest courtyard. It was all set up, and there were all kinds of drinks, snacks and refreshments. After sitting for a while, the palace chief followed He came over, holding a thin envelope in his hand and shaking it in front of Gu Yun's eyes.

"I thought you'd come sooner."

Gu Yun stretched out his hand to pick it up, "I always have to tidy up the rewards."

Upon hearing this, the palace chief followed, his eyes swept from Gu Yun's head to his feet, he scanned up and down twice, and finally realized.

"Oh, I got a new hairpin, what is carved on it? A praying mantis? It's not right to ask you to abstain from sex. A pair of praying mantises only need a bug."

"There's also a female hairpin." Gu Yun slapped Gong Zhangji's messy hand on his head, opened the envelope and took out a thin piece of paper from inside.

"Oh~~~~~ female hairpin? So it was ordered to abstain from sex?" Gong Changji deliberately elongated his voice, lifted up his clothes and sat down by Gu Yun's right hand, holding the jug and filling them with wine, seemingly Joking and joking, in fact, all the attention is on Gu Yun, and he is ready to push him on the chair at any time.

He read the thin page of paper in Gu Yun's hand four or five times over and over again, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and finally he sighed and put it aside.

That page was actually a document proving that after Bai Yehong's family arrived at Chunshuibao, they were assigned a place to serve their sentences. A month later, a mudslide occurred, and the place where the Bai family lived and worked happened to be the hardest-hit area. Several villages were all buried, and everyone in the Bai family was the same as the others. They were all declared missing. After so many years, they are now suspected to be dead.

Seeing that Gu Yun didn't jump, the palace chief relaxed a little, pretending to be relaxed, took a sip of his wine, and clicked his tongue twice.

"You know that Spring Water Fort is a traditional mining area and battlefield. Countless battles have been fought for that place from ancient times to the present, and it has been snatched away like a saw. If it wasn't for the caravan who went there and saw the situation there with their own eyes. The environment, those of us who lived in the capital since we were young, can’t even imagine how bad it is. Now a new village has been built where the mudslides buried it, and new prisoners have been replaced to work there, except for the army of Chunshuibao and guarding prisoners. The supervisors, the other people hardly knew that this happened back then, but it was a common thing over there, and everyone was insensitive. I heard from the people I sent that the people there knew that someone was looking for them. Bai Yehong's family was reluctant to check the files at the beginning, and the reason was straightforward, if they were not among the existing crowd, they would either have served their sentence or died."

"But your people still let them produce official documents."

"Spend money, people in that place have today and tomorrow, and money can best communicate with ghosts and gods."

"Thanks, I'll give you how much it cost."

"Go, go, I sent you this little money? Don't talk about it." Gong Changji picked up his chopsticks and tapped Gu Yun's wine glass, "I've finished investigating the affairs of the Bai family, let's drink and drink, and we'll talk about the future after this meal."

Gu Yun picked up the wine glass and took a sip before putting it down. Seeing that the dishes on the table didn't have the appetite to pick up the chopsticks, his eyes straightened.

Seeing this scene, the palace chief lost the mood to eat and drink by himself, got up slightly and passed Gu Yun, reached out and took the document on the table, folded it slowly and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"Leave this to me. When do you want to tell Bai Kou that her family is gone? You decide for yourself. In short, I promise that neither the princess nor I will talk to her."

Gu Yun blinked, recovered from his distraction, and looked at Gong Changji blankly, "What did you say?"

"I said you should stop being in a daze and drink and eat vegetables."

However, Gu Yun raised his right hand to hold Gong Changji's left wrist, and looked into his eyes with piercing eyes, "You really haven't kept any information from me?"

"What do you think I'm hiding from you?"

"The prisoner should report to the court if he has an accident at the place where he is serving his sentence, right?"

"Yes."

"The winter hunting of the year before last, the sage was furious at Bai Kou in his tent and told the past. Bai Yehong was the head chef at that time. He was fully responsible for the poor food and drink of the distinguished guests of the mission. The sage told Bai Kou at that time that they would atone for their sins forever."

"Ah, probably."

"If Bai Yehong's family really suffered a catastrophe, would the saint say that they should forever atone for the [-] soldiers who went abroad to fight? Only by living can they atone for their sins, but how can they atone for their sins after death? The lives of his family are worth more than [-] soldiers And the lives of their survivors? Since the sage said so, either he really didn't know what happened to Bai Yehong, and it was the Ministry of Criminal Justice's fault for not reporting the truth, or..."

"Either the sage knows that Bai Yehong's family is fine..." Gong Changji followed Gu Yun's train of thought, and suddenly felt a little dry, took a big sip of wine, and rolled his eyes thoughtfully.

Gu Yun caught Gong Changji's expression and squeezed his wrist vigorously, "Do you really have other news that you haven't told me?"

"It's not from Chunshui Castle, it's an unconfirmed folk gossip, but if you use the Bai family as an introduction, it seems that you can get in touch with Chunshui Castle."

"Tell me."

"It's about your second grandfather."

"My second grandfather?!" Gu Yun was taken aback, "Why, it's none of his business again?"

"In your grandfather's generation, only your second grandfather joined the army, right?"

"That's right, the descendants of his family are all in the army. I didn't hear that he is currently stationed in Spring Water Fort."

"Of course he is not in Chunshui Castle, but when the caravan was resting in a town two hundred miles away from Chunshui Castle, they heard the old people chatting and said something. At the same time that year, your second grandfather led A changing army stayed in that town for a few days."

Gu Yun's heart was beating violently, he stood up suddenly with his eyes wide open, the chair creaked loudly behind him, immediately there was a girl outside the door asking what the lord's order was, she was dismissed by Gong Zhangji, and then got up to help him chair, dragging Gu Yun to sit him down.

"Calm down, don't get excited, I've told you what my people told me."

"The two places are two hundred miles apart, and it takes one day for the horses in the cavalry to go, right?"

"That's right, Chunshuibao is the main mining area, and the road from there is a flat road, which is maintained by people every day, so it's very easy to ride a horse." Gong Changji blinked innocently, "I didn't hint anything."

Gu Yun just brought it up in one breath, but was so shocked by the words of the palace chief that he swallowed it down.

"Yes, you didn't imply. This is a folk gossip about the army on the border. Even if I know it, I can't write to my second grandfather to verify it. Even if it is really related to him, he can't admit it."

"The Bai family started out as military cooks. If they were really picked up by the second grandfather, they would have been hidden in the army for so many years without anyone noticing, but they can't be verified or falsified, so they can only be gossip. Talk, don't take it seriously."

Gong Changji smiled and picked up a chopstick dish for Gu Yun.
