If Paris is the fashion capital and city A is the financial center, then city H can also be called a historical and cultural town.

The town is hundreds or even thousands of years old, and is said to have served as the capital of a dynasty in Chinese history.

Walking in the streets and alleys of this city, you are full of cultural heritage, every brick and stone here is like commemorating a memory, and every wisp of air has a simple texture, which makes people involuntarily worship and can't bear to blaspheme.

Anthony has been in this city for nearly a week, he is moving every day, worshipping this ancient town with one step after another, wherever he goes, where he shoots, under his lens, there is the purest and immaculate morning bell tower, there is the most warm and fiery Yellow Mountain, and there is also the most charming and gentle sunset bridge...... Every scene is picturesque, and it is the most unparalleled beauty that this ancient town has shown him.

He thought that this should be able to be used as material for Diana.

However, playing is secondary, and the main purpose of his visit to this ancient town is to check one thing.

Now, standing in front of the door of a quaintly designed mansion, his eyes squinting at the sun, his blue eyes glowing with a faint phosphorescence, scanned by the word 'Gufu' on the signboard.

Yes, this is Mrs. Robin's maiden home.

Someone once said that if you want to know a person's past thoroughly, go to their ancestral home.

Robin's wife, Gu Rong, has lived in H City for generations, and this is undoubtedly her 'root', and she wants to know her hidden secrets, so she has to start snooping from here.

Anthony pursed his lips and stepped forward and knocked on the doorring, the mansion had its original appearance hundreds of years ago, no doorbell, no high-tech, not even wires.

In fact, it is not only this ancient mansion, more than thirty percent of the people in this town are still living in the most traditional way, he has also seen someone draw water from the well, and then use firewood to boil the water for more than an hour, and in fact, with modern technology, it is a matter of five minutes, but they are stubbornly unwilling to accept it, as if it is a flood beast, will defile the purity of their ancestral civilization.

Therefore, this place will also give people a feeling of depression and non-openness, which makes people restrained and dare not make mistakes.

The door was opened by a middle-aged woman dressed in the flag of the Republic of China, who looked like the family's servant, and she looked at Anthony suspiciously: "May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Stephen, I'm a journalist, and I've been doing a report on China's ancient towns recently, and I hope to go in and take a few photos to show people around the world China's unique history. He said in Chinese, which was not very proficient and barely clear, and took out a forged work card and handed it to her.

The woman looked at him: "Then you wait a minute, I'll ask our husband." ”

"Okay, excuse me. ”

The woman closed the door again and went back, and after a while, she reopened the door and said with a smile, "Our husband has agreed, please come in, sir." ”

Anthony smiled, "Thank you." ”

The inside of the ancient mansion is more antique than the outside, and there are still courtyards of ancient buildings, small gardens, and even boudoir attics, and most of them are made of wood, Anthony recorded these pictures with his camera, and sighed in his heart No wonder Mrs. Robin has that kind of temperament that others can't learn, it turns out that the place where she grew up is like this.

After taking the photo, he thanked the servant again and asked, "Can I interview your husband?"

The servant was embarrassed: "Mr. doesn't like to meet people, I'm afraid he won't agree to this." ”

"Oh, that's right. Anthony had expected it, and the question was just a casual question, tilting his head to show a kind smile, "Then can I interview you?"

"Interview me, I'm just a servant, what can I interview?" the maid was stunned.

"You should be working here for a long time, right? I'm sure I'll get useful information from interviewing you, and I'll sort it out and report it when the time comes. Anthony said as he took out a paper coupon from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, smiling indescribably, "I didn't bring any greeting gifts when I came out in a hurry, if you don't dislike it, this voucher is for you, I heard that the crab roe soup dumplings in this restaurant are delicious, you can try it." ”

When the maid saw that it was the most famous restaurant in the local area, and the denomination of the voucher was not small, he was immediately moved, but he still shirked and said, "How embarrassing is this?"

"You're welcome, it's as it should be. Anthony looked away and casually pointed in a quieter direction, "Please take me over there to have a look." ”

"Okay, okay, Mr. Reporter come with me here. ”

The so-called cannibalistic soft-mouthed and short-handed, accepted Anthony's 'bribe', this servant's attitude towards him was obviously attentive, and he introduced him to every pavilion here, he occasionally nodded and echoed a few words, so that she felt that he was listening carefully to her introduction.

Saying that, they came to a merit tablet, which is engraved with the famous and great people of the Gu clan, the first one can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period, it can be seen that the history of this family is ancient, and the servants are all proud to mention these: "Our ancient mansion is also a local noble family! Our old lady and master are all contemporary Hongru, respected all their lives, that is, our husband has taught and educated people for decades, and now it is also full of peach and plum!"

Anthony smiled and nodded: "It's really a scholarly family." ”

"No, there are few people who are worthy of the words 'scholarly family' now. Saying that, she became curious again, "Mr. Reporter also came to interview when he heard the signboard of our ancient mansion, right?"

Anthony shook his head, saw that the timing was right, and took the opportunity to cut into the topic: "Actually, the first time I learned about Gufu was because of Robin's wife Gu Rong, she is very popular among our media in the world, and I also accidentally found out that she was from H City, so I found this place by accident." ”

"She......" The servant showed a disgusted expression on her face, and lowered her voice and admonished, "I'll tell you quietly, it's better not to mention her name in the ancient mansion, otherwise you will be easily kicked out." ”

Anthony's eyebrows furrowed, full of puzzlement: "Is Ms. Gu Rong very unpopular in the ancient mansion?"

The servant's eyes widened: "It's not enough, she has always been regarded as a disgrace and stain on the Gu clan!"

Anthony was stunned, although he had already prepared that Mrs. Robin might be a little mentally prepared for a bad past here, but he didn't expect that those things would be so serious that even a servant in the family would dare to despise her.

"Can you tell me in detail? I don't scribble, I'm just curious. Anthony gave her another voucher, and this time the servant did not shirk it, but took it and pulled him to a more secluded corner, and began to tell the story of the deliberate abandonment of the years.

"She used to be very indecent, hooking up outside all day long, and the water-based poplar ......"

After leaving the ancient mansion, Anthony went back to the hotel, and after waiting for a while, a man who was dressed in a low-key way and looked very inconspicuous knocked on the door, quickly handed him an envelope, and invited him to say: "This is Mr. You asked me to investigate, this matter was blocked by the Gu family using great connections, it is not easy to investigate, and it took me a lot of effort to get these evidence." ”

Anthony looked at the photo in the envelope, took an envelope on the shelf and threw it to him, the man padded the pad, the weight was already making him smile, and then opened the envelope to see that it was still full of euros, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he bowed again and again and thanked him: "Then I won't bother Mr., if there is anything you need help in the future, just ask, there is nothing in H City that I can't find." ”

Anthony pointed to the man in the photo and asked, "Where is this man now?"

"Oh, this man. The man glanced at it and said, "He was sentenced to life imprisonment in prison more than 20 years ago, and then he behaved well in prison, so he was sentenced to a fixed period of time, and he was imprisoned for more than ten years, and he was only released from prison about five or six years ago, and he left H City after he was released from prison, where did he go, if Mr. wants to know, I will check again, but this is not within the scope of H City, it is more difficult to investigate, I have to mobilize my friends to help, so you see ......"

Anthony closed the photo and said lightly: "Find this person, I won't let you suffer if I pay him." ”

The man suddenly smiled, nodded again and again, said a few more words and left.

Anthony closed the door, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and corroborated the things that this ruffian found out and the words said by the servants of the ancient mansion, which seemed to be in agreement, could it be true that what Mrs. Robin, who now looks graceful and elegant, really did in the first place, even abandon her husband and daughter?
