Chapter 284: Who Did It?
Gu Zhirong's face flushed, and he made a gesture to get back the glass bottle: "Don't forget it." ”
"Who said I didn't want it?" The young master carefully put away the bottle, and the appearance of cherishing the treasure made Gu Zhirong feel a burst of warmth.
The carriage drove all the way to the foot of the mountain of Hangji Temple, where there was a river, on the bank of the river, a simple boat was waiting there, Lu Shui looked nervously towards the way he came, and when he saw Gu Zhirong getting out of the car, he waved excitedly.
The young master has been escorting Gu Zhirong to the boat, Qin Lu was not at ease, and he followed all the way.
Gu Zhirong got on the boat, beckoned to the young master, and motioned for him to go back. But the young master did not go, but stood on the shore. Gu Zhirong knew that he was going to watch her leave, if she didn't leave, he was afraid that he would stand down for as long as he wanted. So, she sat down on the boat and let the green water sail.
The young master has been standing on the shore, watching the boat gradually sail away, disappearing in the reeds, and finally passing through the dark passage leading to the mansion of the Marquis of Yuanning. Qin Lu knew that he couldn't persuade the young master, so he turned back to the carriage, took a cloak, put it on the young master, and said: "Young master, it is more serious, you are recovering from a serious illness, you must pay more attention to your body." ”
The young master smiled: "Aren't there still you?"
However, his eyes kept looking at the entrance of the secret passage, and even though there were no more boats there, he muttered, "One day, I will let you enter and leave the Yuanning Marquis Mansion freely and openly." ”
Gu Zhirong followed the previous way out of the house, took the waterway, and drove along the dark river to the corridor in front of Liu Yun Courtyard, Mingyue and Mu Jin had been waiting there for a long time, working together to take Gu Zhirong. And Lu Shui and others picked it up, and they returned to the mansion like this.
Yu Xiaotong got the account book and returned to the Yuanning Hou Mansion. didn't rest, and went straight to the hanging flower door of the inner house. Miss Gu Yuanqin had already made Ziyan wait at the door, and when she saw Yu Xiaotong coming, she hurriedly carried a lantern to lead the way in front of her, and brought Yu Xiaotong to the Agarwood Courtyard.
"Cousin, have you got the account book?" Gu Yuanqin didn't expect Yu Xiaotong to do things so neatly and quickly, this was just a pillar of incense. So he took the ledger.
Yu Xiaotong didn't mind Gu Yuanqin asking about the account book directly, because in his opinion, the account book at this time was much more important than his own safety.
He carefully took the ledger out of his bosom. put it on the table in front of Gu Yuanqin, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." ”
Gu Yuanqin's eyes showed a look of joy, and he reached out to take the account book and was about to check it, when he suddenly felt Yu Xiaotong's gaze sweep over. That's when I realized that something was wrong.
She closed the ledger. Said approvingly to Yu Xiaotong: "Cousin, I really didn't expect that over the years, your martial arts are still as good, and in such a short period of time, you actually sneaked into Huiyuan Money Village and retrieved the account book." It's a great skill. And most importantly......"
She raised the account book in her hand: "This is something that the prince never forgets to get, and he really has nothing to do, and he doesn't want you to solve such a big problem for him." Don't worry, cousin, the next time the prince comes to our Yuanning Hou Mansion, I, who is a cousin, will definitely recommend you vigorously in front of the prince. Your path to prosperity will soon be there. ”
Yu Xiaotong smiled and said several words of thanks. Then I went back to rest.
After Yu Xiaotong left, Gu Yuanqin couldn't wait to flip through the account book, and when Ziyan saw this, he hurriedly took scissors to cut the candle flame a little brighter, so that his young lady could check the accounts.
"How could it not be?" Gu Yuanqin checked the account book from beginning to end, and it took nearly half an hour, even checking the corners and corners, but he didn't see anything recorded that he wanted to check.
Ziyan leaned over and said, "I sent my cousin to go, my cousin's name is He Datong." ”
"Of course I do. Gu Yuanqin said impatiently, she wouldn't be stupid enough to look up her name.
"Yes, miss, something seems wrong, how can there be no record?" Even Ziyan saw that the account book was inappropriate, and pointed to a record on it, "Even Zhang Laosan took three taels of silver and recorded it on this, why didn't my cousin's one thousand taels of silver be recorded, besides, Zhang Laosan's silver was the same day as my table deposit." ”
Gu Yuanqin was also puzzled.
At this moment, Ziyan seemed to have discovered something, and shouted, "Miss, look, there is a mezzanine behind this." ”
Gu Yuanqin raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, on the last page, there was a place that protruded slightly, which was obviously a mezzanine.
Gu Yuanqin shook his head: "The record of this account book pays attention to orderliness, where will anyone record this account in the mezzanine?" Even though she said this, she still couldn't suppress her curiosity and opened the mezzanine.
Under this reveal, her face suddenly turned red, and she scolded angrily: "What a reason!"
Ziyan couldn't help but lean her head over to look, and at this look, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, looked at Gu Yuanqin in disbelief, her lips trembled several times before she spoke: "Miss, how can this be?!"
The mezzanine was opened, and it was actually a painting, with a Wang Ba painted on it, and a few small words: "Fourth sister, this late in the middle of the night, I have to work hard for this account book, it's hard!"
Ignoring these words, just looking at that Wang Ba, it is obviously mocking Gu Yuanqin for being the Ba Wang!
As soon as Gu Yuanqin looked at the painting, she knew who painted it, she kept pacing around on the ground, and said hatefully: "This hateful Gu Xiaowu is angry with me!"
Ziyan finally stopped shaking, and asked suspiciously, "Miss, how did the third room know that we were going to steal the account book tonight?"
Gu Yuanqin was so angry that he wanted to smash the cup, and he thought that it was late at night, and the sound in his yard came out, and it would not be good to attract other people's inquiries, so he had to hold back, so angry that the green tendons on his head rose and jumped suddenly.
"That Gu Xiaowu, it's really hateful!" It took a long time for Gu Yuanqin to say this.
In fact, who can complain about it? I can only blame myself for being too stupid and following that Gu Xiaowu's way. Gu Xiaowu couldn't do it alone, and it must be the young master of the powerful Baojian Hall who was helping her, so she was able to get the account book in front of her, and then put the fake account book there, let her get into the trap, take the fake account book back, and take the opportunity to humiliate her.
I'm so angry with her!
Ziyan saw that her face was blue and white when she was angry, worried that something would happen, and hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, you dissipate your anger first, no one expected that things would turn out like this......"
Gu Yuanqin turned his head suddenly, stared at Ziyan with red eyes and asked, "This plan of mine is so seamlessly arranged, who is it that leaked the plan?!"
Ziyan was so shocked that she couldn't even finish her words: "Little ...... Miss, are you supposed to ...... I suspect it was leaked by the slaves, right?"
Gu Yuanqin glanced at her and retracted his gaze: "You don't have that guts, and besides, you don't have such a flexible brain." ”
Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly responded: "Miss is very right. ”
Gu Yuanqin was a little annoyed and said, "Actually, that Gu Xiaowu was so cunning that he actually made me fall into her trap." ”
Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "Miss, are you saying that the seizure of the Huiyuan Money Village was simply done by the third room?" )
