Chapter 73
The police quickly captured the strong man, and the beggar was about to leave, but Gu Lingyan called to stop him.

Gu Lingyan cupped his hands and said: "Dare to ask my brother's name, where does he live, and who else is in the family?"

The beggar frowned, but for the sake of the silver in his hand, he still answered her question, "My name is Tang Shaowen, and I live in a ruined temple on North Street. At home—" said Here, his face darkened, but then he replied: "Nowadays, there is only Shemei in the family."

Gu Lingyan narrowed her beautiful eyes and began to think deeply.

His name is Tang Shaowen. As far as she knows, this Tang surname is the surname of a nobleman in Tianhan Kingdom, but the name Shaowen is not something ordinary people can get. Looking at his delicate skin, I think he must not be a A rough worker, combined with these points, she was even more sure of her previous opinion of him.

"Miss, if it's okay, I'll leave first. My sister is still waiting for my lunch in the temple!"

Gu Lingyan raised her hand and said, "Wait a minute, little brother, don't go, I just haven't eaten, or I'm in that restaurant." She pointed to a restaurant next to her, "Call your sister over here Let me be the host, and everyone will have a good meal together." After finishing speaking, her eyes fell on the young man who was still half sitting on the ground.

Tang Shaowen hesitated for a moment, and saw that the young lady was beautiful and harmless, and she gave him a piece of silver when she rescued someone just now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go down and call She Come, sister."

Gu Lingyan said: "Well, we will wait for you at the restaurant."

Tang Shaowen cupped his hands, turned and left.

The young boy didn't expect that this sister not only saved him, but also invited him to the restaurant for dinner, he immediately expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Yixiu, for saving me."

Gu Lingyan helped Yixiu up, and said with a smile, "It's okay, let's go to the restaurant!"

Gu Lingyan and Yixiu waited for less than a quarter of an hour before Tang Shaowen led a little girl about ten years old into the restaurant.

Gu Lingyan looked at the little girl, and also discovered her difference.

Although the little girl was dressed in rags, she had good skin, delicate features, a pair of big eyes, both black and bright, and her walking posture was obviously trained since she was a child.

Seeing Gu Lingyan sizing up his younger sister carefully, Tang Shaowen introduced, "My younger sister's name is Tang Ruowen."

Gu Lingyan smiled and nodded, then politely gave up his seat to the siblings.

Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Tang Shaowen couldn't help swallowing, Gu Lingyan hurriedly greeted: "Eat quickly!" After finishing speaking, he was the first to stick out his chopsticks, and took a bite of each dish .

Gu Lingyan's method is just to reassure the brothers and sisters that there is no poison in this dish.

Seeing this, the brothers and sisters were really relieved, and Tang Shaowen blushed, feeling that he should not use the heart of a villain to cross the belly of a gentleman.

When the meal was almost finished, Gu Lingyan started chatting.

"Brother Tang, I want to know about your family's situation." Gu Lingyan did not hide his thoughts.

Because Tang Shaowen was mentally prepared, he knew that this lady must be curious about him, so he began to talk about the sad things about his family.

"My Tang family was originally a big family in this imperial city, and our family is in the business of medicinal materials."

Gu Lingyan's ears perked up even more when he heard the word medicinal materials.

"But just half a year ago, because of one incident, the family changed drastically, resulting in the tragic death of our parents, and our brothers and sisters fell to the streets." Tang Shaowen said here, his eyes were red, and tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Lingyan hastily poured him a cup of tea himself, "May I ask why Brother Tang's family has undergone great changes, and why his parents died tragically."

Tang Shaowen looked up at Gu Lingyan, but he didn't know why she wanted to know about his painful past so much.

Gu Lingyan knew that he had doubts, so he explained: "To be honest, I came to buy shops on Huangcheng Street today, and now I have bought ten shops, but I don't have anyone who can do business, so People who can do business are especially needed now. Just now I saw Brother Tang, although he was dressed in shabby clothes, but his demeanor was different from ordinary people, so I guessed that you were in trouble recently, so I wanted to get to know you better and see if I could accept it. used."

Tang Shaowen nodded and said, "So that's the case."

At this time, the younger sister who had been silent all this time suddenly said happily: "Sister, my brother is very good at doing business. In the past, he took care of most of the family's business, and he managed it in an orderly manner."

Gu Lingyan wondered: "Why is the business so well-organized, but so difficult?"

After Tang Shaowen understood Gu Lingyan's intentions, he told Gu Lingyan the truth.

It turned out that his father met a herbal medicine merchant a few years ago, and he has been doing business with him since then. Just half a year ago, his father received a large order from the army, and needed to supply a large amount of herbal medicine to the frontier army. His family didn't have enough herbs in stock, so his father approached the merchant and bought almost half of the herbs from him.But who knows, when all the herbal medicines were collected and sent to Lianjiang, many soldiers in the army were poisoned and fell ill due to the medicines. Later, the military doctor found out that there was something wrong with the medicines supplied by his family. Half of the medicines were poisonous. counterfeit medicine.

What happened later, you don't need to think about it to know that selling fake medicines to the army is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. Later, in order to save a pair of children, his parents went to the palace to plead guilty, and committed suicide on the spot. Finished.

After hearing this story, Gu Lingyan's heart became heavy. A good family has fallen to such a state just because it made friends with inappropriate people, alas!
However, speaking of these things, the general's grandfather should also know about it. Half a year ago, the general's grandfather was guarding the frontier.

After dinner, Gu Lingyan brought the siblings and the young man back to the General's Mansion.

When Tang Shaowen learned that this young lady was the second young lady of the General's Mansion, Gu Lingyan, and also the concubine of His Royal Highness King Mo, he was shocked and hurriedly dragged his sister to kowtow.

Gu Lingyan quickly helped the two brothers and sisters up, but Tang Shaowen didn't dare to enter the general's mansion because he was afraid that General Gu would take his anger out on him because of the medicinal herbs.

Later, after Gu Lingyan used her status as princess to keep them safe, Tang Shaowen followed her into the General's Mansion nervously.

It was late at this time, and most of the guests in the general's mansion had already left.

Hong Yu was anxiously waiting in the main courtyard at this time, when she saw Gu Lingyan coming in, she shouted happily: "Second Miss is back, Second Miss is back—"

Gu Lingyan thought about it, guessing that he sneaked away, Grandpa must be worried.

Hong Yu followed behind her and said, "Second Miss, General Gu and His Royal Highness Mo Wang are still waiting in the lobby, His Highness Mo Wang—"
