After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 414 The secret hidden in the heart

The beggar seemed to be afraid that the family would not believe him, so he turned to Zhang Yunniang and said, "I recognize you too. You often go to the houses of dignitaries."

Even Mrs. Gu, this beggar can tell you things that the old lady often watches.

Looking at the beggar, Gu Mingda's hope ignited again. After all, this man seemed to have a really good memory.

"The person I'm looking for is a beggar about eight or nine years old. He used to be active on this street. He talks crazy..." Gu Mingda was halfway through his sentence.

The beggar immediately picked up the other half: "You said something about saving lives and not wanting to die, right? I can find this person."

Gu Mingda was about to nod.

The beggar added: "That beggar has indeed been staying on this street, but he is already dead."

Gu Mingda:…

Gu Mingda didn't expect that his work would be in vain. Then he thought about it, this man was crazy, and it didn't seem strange that he died without knowing when.

But when the stall owner took back the empty bowl and was far enough away from here, the beggar spoke again: "I know everything about him."

A glimmer of hope arose in Gu Mingda's heart. He also knew that this man was cautious and would not let go of the rabbit before he saw it. He said, "I'm going to ask the doctor to treat your brother right now."

The beggar breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingda was a man of action, so he invited a doctor he knew well on the spot and followed the beggar to the bridge where he and his brother now lived.

The beggar's brother looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. His face was red with fever and he was restless in his sleep. He coughed from time to time.

Gu Mingda took a look at the environment of the bridge cave. It could be said that it was drafty from all sides, and the bedding and bedding on the ground were all in a mess.

"This child is probably infected with wind-chill because it has been raining a while ago. I will prescribe a few medicines and pay attention to filling his stomach, and he should be fine," the doctor explained.

It's just that the two of them don't have pots or stoves specially used to boil medicine. Even if they are both beggars, they can't fill their stomachs.

Gu Mingda ordered Qi Dashan, the chief attendant at the side, to buy some bedding for the brothers.

But Niu Niu grabbed her father's sleeve and said, "They are so pitiful. Otherwise, we should take them in."

Those who can be reduced to beggars are not all beards and tails. After all, people who are intact can sell themselves as slaves to earn a living after they have no other options. The older beggars have broken an arm and have not grown it. Well, it is still in a crooked state, and the smaller beggar is not only mute, but also lame in one leg.

The big beggar also heard this from the side. He was already a very smart beggar. He could get some rewards by occasionally selling some information, but he was still miserable.

Although he didn't want to continue living like this, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed to the Gu family, and said, "I injured my arm, but I will work hard. When my brother recovers, he will work with me." Let’s work hard together…”

Gu Mingda nodded and said: "Since you are willing to follow us back, I will definitely not miss you a meal in the future."

Gu Mingda only took in two disabled servants for the sake of his daughter's happiness. After the deed of betrayal was completed, he pressed his fingerprints and watched with his own eyes as his brother's medicine was cooked.

The beggar who called Zhang Shitou immediately told the story about the crazy little beggar like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

"I don't know where the little lunatic came from. I just liked him, so my brother and I agreed to let him follow us. We couldn't find food some time ago, and my brother and I didn't have time to take care of him. He likes to go everywhere. He was running around, and it took my brother and I several days to find him. When we found him, we happened to see him being lifted up high by a middle-aged man, thrown to the ground... and beaten to death..."

If he hadn't known that Gu Mingda was the top scholar in his current subject and had now given the deed of betrayal to the Gu family, Zhang Shitou would not have dared to say anything about it. When Gu Mingda heard this, the first reaction in his mind was that this person had been murdered and silenced.

"Who killed him?" Gu Mingda asked.

Zhang Shitou shook his head and said: "I don't know who that person is. His appearance is hidden in the shadows and I didn't see it clearly. I just remember that he was very tall and had a jade flute hanging from his waist."

"When that little lunatic was alive, did he say where he came from?" Gu Mingda asked.

Zhang Shitou still shook his head and said: "The little lunatic can't explain clearly, but he once said a few strange words, about the man-eating Sophora japonica forest, the great heavenly master with hands full of blood..."

Gu Mingda's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He has a very good memory. He once heard from his colleagues that Dao was the imperial master of the dynasty, so he was called "Great Heavenly Master" by them. This was the title that the imperial master liked to hear the most.

As for Sophora japonica Lin, Gu Mingda still wanted to inquire more.

"Sir, the Imperial Master has always lived in seclusion. He has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. He only concentrates on cultivating Taoism in his own Imperial Master's Mansion. The Imperial Master's Mansion is a gift from the emperor and is inhabited by successive Imperial Masters. I have never heard of any locust flower forest in it."

Gu Mingda frowned when he heard the news from his men.

After the case was investigated to this point, they thought that the Li family was behind the scenes. Now that the Imperial Master's Office was involved, they felt that the problem seemed serious.

"As for what your Excellency asked about, the contact between the Li family and the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, my subordinates only inquired and found out that it seems that the Imperial Preceptor could become the Imperial Preceptor because the empress of the Li family tried her best to recommend it, saying that she had met him in Guanglin Mansion. This Master of the State performs miracles.”

When Gu Mingda heard this, he couldn't figure out for a while whether it was the Li family or the national master who took the lead in this matter.

In Zhang Yunniang's case, everything pointed to Li Ziqin, but the emperor still didn't attack this person. It was obvious that the emperor's heart was very important to the Li family. Now that there is no concrete evidence, he can't directly search the Li family to find the child.

After his subordinates left, Gu Mingda asked the housekeeper to find Wang He.

Wang He went to Beijing by boat and took refuge with Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing. After Wang He came to Beijing and encountered difficulties, he came to see Gu Mingda. Gu Mingda gave Wang He a test and asked Wang He to find out where her difficulties came from. Come.

Wang He passed the test, and Gu Mingda determined that although Wang He was a woman, her ability to do things was not bad, so he helped her.

Wang He didn't dare to neglect after receiving the news. She first came to Beijing with her brothers to open a martial arts **** agency. After being embarrassed, she also understood that the water was deep here. Now she is taking her brothers to do some purchasing of stones and wood. .

"Sir, what do you want from me?" Wang He asked.

Gu Mingda looked at her steadily and said, "You seemed to have made a big deal half a month ago, purchasing rockery for Mr. Cheng's garden."

Wang He nodded.

Mr. Cheng's house was right next door to the Li family. Gu Mingda asked, "What about the Li family next door? Is there anything unusual going on these days?"

When Wang He heard this, his expression changed, but he quickly said: "Sir, this villain is just a businessman and is not looking at the Li family."

Gu Mingda looked at her deeply and said, "You have a grudge against the Li family. It's impossible for you not to pay attention to the Li family."

The deepest secret in Wang He's heart was revealed by Gu Mingda, and his face suddenly turned pale.
