When he got home, Gu Jialuo first went to Xuanrui Hall to meet the county lord of Qinghe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What do you say? Saw that girl from the Liu family? ”

The county lord of Qinghe was shocked, thanks to her good memory, three years have passed, and she can still remember Liu Chuchu who once knelt and begged her to get started.

But this is not the point, the point is that she deliberately ordered someone to send Liu Chuchu to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to live temporarily, and also arranged a family affair for her.

It's just that Liu Chuchu cried and said that her brother had just died, and according to etiquette, she wanted to keep filial piety for her brother.

That's right, Liu Chuchu is a maid, and according to the etiquette system, she has to serve her brother for a year. Liu Chuchu also said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the elder brother treats her like a parent and is very kind, and she wants to serve her brother for three years.

Liu Chuchu is reasonable, and he looks decisive. Moreover, mourning or something, in the end, it is someone's family matter, and the county lord of Qinghe, as an outsider, is really not easy to interfere with.

So, Liu Chuchu quietly guarded filial piety on the county lord's Zhuangzi. Every day, Su Zhai recites scriptures, closes the door, and behaves very well.

The person sent to 'serve' Liu Chuchu came back and reported truthfully, and the county lord couldn't help but praise when he heard it: This Liu Chuchu is also a well-behaved girl. The reason why she ran to Qi Jiaxing that day and other unusual things must have been the instigation of the eldest princess and her uncontrollable feelings.

Liu Chuchu likes Qi Jinzhi, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the county lord of Qinghe is a proud mother, and naturally he will not ignore Liu Chuchu's eager and admiring eyes when he looks at Qi Jin.

It's a pity that Liu Chuchu appeared too late, and her background was really low, otherwise, with her performance at that time, the county lord of Qinghe was really a little tempted.

The county lord of Qinghe is not a confused mother-in-law, and she can't do the stupid thing of stuffing a woman in her son's room, so no matter how good Liu Chuchu is and how to be filial, the county lord only secretly regrets it in his heart, and he does not have the idea of letting Liu Chuchu enter the Qi family.

At most, the county lord told his subordinates to take care of Liu Chuchu, and not treat her lightly because she was keeping filial piety, and she should be compared to the young lady in the house in terms of food and clothing. Every New Year's Day, the county lord will also order people to send some food and jewelry, lest he wronged this benefactor's sister.

The people below are very reliable, and they will report on Liu Chuchu's recent situation every once in a while. If the county lord is not mistaken, during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, she also asked people to send moon cakes to Zhuangzi.

For a long time, the county lord thought that Liu Chuchu was doing well in Zhuangzi.

Can ...... now

Of course, the county lord would not doubt Gu Jialuo's words, because there was no need for Gu Jialuo to lie about this matter.

"Yes, in fact, there is something I haven't said," Gu Jialuo sat on the other side of the big kang near the window, thought about it, and still told the story of the post house a few days ago, "I just glanced at it that day, and I didn't want to see the girl of the Liu family." At that time, I thought I was dazzled, but today outside the palace gate, I heard her say in person, 'the descendant of Queen Zhenlie', and I was sure that the figure I saw outside the post house that day was indeed her. ”

"Descendants of Empress Zhenyeol? She, she actually got mixed up with the people of the Liu family? ”

The county lord was shocked again, and the expression on his face changed uncertainly.

It took her a while before she shouted angrily, "Someone! ”

The maid who was waiting outside hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, curtsied: "The slave is here!" ”

"Go, go and call Qu Er's steward."

The county lord gritted his teeth, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Can't blame her for being angry, listening to Gu Jialuo's words, she had seen Liu Chuchu in Shu for a month. This means that Liu Chuchu has 'disappeared' for at least two months. Maybe it will be longer, but no one has found it on the Zhuangzi, and no one has returned it.

What's going on?

The people on the Zhuangzi neglected their duties, or were they simply bought?

But no matter what the situation is, the county lord can be sure of one thing, that is, there is a problem with the people in the Zhuangzi and it must be thoroughly investigated!

Gu Jialuo was really angry when he saw that the county took the initiative, so he didn't dare to say much, so he just sat quietly aside.

Not long after, a young man in his twenties entered Xuanrui Hall, he stood outside the door of the west room, and saluted respectfully, "Little Qu Er, I have seen the county lord and the eldest grandmother. ”

"Get on your knees!"

The county lord's cold voice came from the other end of the door panel.

The young man, Qu Er, the second son of Qu's mother, was stunned at first when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, and without saying a word, he fell to his knees with a pop.

The knee slammed into the cold hard bluestone floor, making a 'thump' sound, which was extremely loud in the quiet room.

"Qu Er, let me ask you, during the August Festival, I ordered you to go to the Zhuangzi in the south of the city to give a festival gift, have you ever been there?" The county lord didn't ask nonsense like 'are you guilty', and asked bluntly.

Qu Er heard that the county lord's tone was wrong, his heart almost raised his throat, and he answered the question very carefully, "Back to the county lord, the little one went, and personally gave the purse, spices and other items you prepared to the girl of the Liu family." ”

"Oh? So, did you see Miss Liu with your own eyes? The county lord asked coldly.

"This ......" Qu Er hesitated, and then said with some embarrassment: "There is a difference between men and women, and the girl of the Liu family is a young lady who has not left the cabinet, and the small and small ones dare not be abrupt." So just said a few words under the porch. However, I saw Miss Liu's two maids, they received the moon cakes and other gifts you sent on behalf of Miss Liu, and Miss Liu also thanked the little one through the window, listen, listen to the voice, it should be Miss Liu herself. ”

Qu Er was able to be the second steward of the Qi family at a young age, in addition to relying on the affection of his parents, he himself was also quite capable.

After listening to a few questions from the county lord, he had already guessed the reason for the county's anger: eight times out of ten, Liu Chuchu had a problem, and it was very likely that this person was 'missing'.

Sure enough, after a short silence, the voice of the county lord sounded again in the west, "You will take a few clever people now, go out of the city overnight to Zhuangzi in the south of the city, go to Zhuangzi first, lock me up with the steward of Zhuangzi and the maid who serves Miss Liu, and then torture them one by one." Hmph, in the past two years, I have not had enough energy, and I haven't taken care of cleaning up the industry, so that some people have forgotten their duty! ”

Qu Er's loyalty, the county lord is trustworthy, and from Qu Er's answer, the county lord also came to a conclusion: It seems that there is indeed a problem with Zhuangzi. Especially the maid who served Liu Chuchu, she simply teamed up with outsiders to deceive her master, as well as the mother-in-law in the courtyard, who probably ate and took benefits, and helped Liu Chuchu's master and servant cover up.

Check, you have to check! may not be able to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes, but the county lord also needs to know who is behind the scenes to calculate their Qi family.

That's right, if you can find out about Liu Chuchu's existence, and bother Baal to get her out, you must know the scene that Liu Chuchu staged in front of the Qi family back then, and you must know the relationship between Liu Chuchu and the Qi family.

At this time, he took Liu Chuchu away, turned his head and pressed a new identity for her to return to the capital, and his intention was self-evident.

"Xiang'er, there must be something strange about this. She's not just targeting you, she's targeting our entire Qi family, and what's more, I'm worried that there's a bigger conspiracy behind the scenes. ”

After sending Qu Er away, the county lord's brows were still tight, and she turned to Gu Jialuo and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly." Also, where is the master, there may also be some trouble, you can discuss it with Brother Jin and see how to deal with it. ”

The county lord hesitated, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "Okay, you want to see the master." ”

If the master was really subdued by the people of Prince An's Mansion, Gu Jialuo could only make corresponding countermeasures if he saw it with his own eyes.

In fact, what the county lord wanted to say more was that Gu Jialuo had better secretly contact the master's henchmen and personal guards. In this way, even if something happens to the master, with those people, Gu Jialuo can do something secretly.

Gu Jialuo heard the meaning of the county lord's words, and nodded slowly, "Mother don't worry, your son can save it!" ”

In the evening, Qi Jinzhi came back from the Dali Temple, and Gu Jialuo, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.

The young couple sat down together for dinner, and then moved to the west room together for tea and chat.

“…… Uncle, how do you think this matter should be handled? ”

Gu Jialuo told Qi Jinzhi everything that happened during the day and the county lord's advice, and then asked in a low voice.

Qi Jinzhi held the tea bowl, pondered for a moment, and asked without answering, "Ah Luo, what do you think?" ”

Gu Jialuo half-lowered his eyelids and said slowly: "I have already asked Xiao Shisan and them to investigate, and my mother is also interrogating, I believe there will be results soon." However, I don't care what happens to Liu Chuchu. I just want to know how the master is now. The attitude of Prince An's Mansion is too strange, I, I'm worried that something might really go wrong with the master. ”

It's been three days since I returned to the capital, but there is less and less news about Master Miaozhen, but Xiao Xuan is jumping up and down.

and the attitude in the palace also made Gu Jialuo frightened.

When Master Miao Zhen was just unconscious, how shocked, anxious and worried was the saint?! Even a fool can see how much the sage values the master.

But now?

Since the Master was welcomed back to the palace, the saint had only visited him twice in the first few days, and had not been seen since.

Except for the occasional question about the master's condition, he didn't say anything else.

This—this is very inconsistent with the intimate relationship between the saint and the master.

Especially when the sage suddenly pardoned the master's 'enemy' and promoted the old man of the Liu family, many nobles who knew about the old case muttered to themselves.

Some people who think they are clever still speculate that perhaps the saint is not as close to the master as he appears. In the past, the reason why he had a lot of favor for the master was not because of the deep love between brothers and sisters, but because he was afraid of the mysterious power in the master's hands.

Now that the master is sick, that mysterious force is leaderless, and is being co-opted or disintegrated by the saints.

Without the hole cards, Master Miao Zhen is just the daughter of a down-and-out prince, an old nun who doesn't even have a title.

Those people with big brains, in order to prove their guesses, also folded their hands and counted them, hey, the master has been in a coma for more than three months.

For such a long time, it is indeed enough for the saint to do some tricks and feet.

In addition, the master's illness is very similar to Concubine Liu Xian's. Concubine Liu Xian has been in a coma for more than a year. In this case, Master Yomo will also be in a 'coma' for a long time.

She looks like this, it's strange that the people below her are unpopular.

Perhaps, without the help of the saints, those people will leave one after another and find their own way out.

Also, Xiao Xuan is not treated by a saint, which is a semi-open secret in Beijing.

But now he has been promoted for no reason, and even the people recommended by him have been reused, what does this mean, it is by no means that the saint is dizzy, but clearly 'rewarding merit'.

What kind of merit do you say?

Hmm, let's pinch our fingers and do the math: Dominate Master Miaozhen? Or secretly control Miao Zhen's henchmen, and then help the saint take down that mysterious power?

…… All kinds of rumors are quietly circulating in the streets, and Gu Jialuo has only been back for three days, and he has heard a lot.

Gu Jialuo naturally wouldn't believe that the shadow guards under Master Miaozhen would betray, but the master's body was indeed worrying.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, Gu Jialuo could not rest assured.

Qi Jinzhi understood Gu Jialuo's thoughts, he was silent for a moment, suddenly put the tea bowl on the kang table, raised his eyes to look at the sky outside the window, and muttered, "This is appropriate." ”

Gu Jialuo was stunned for a moment and followed his gaze. The sky outside the window has completely darkened, there are no stars in the distant sky, only layers of clouds, if there is no candlelight, there is a bit of a sense of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers outside.

Gu Jialuo suddenly understood what Qi Jinzhi meant, and chuckled, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fire to the sky." Uncle, it seems that we have to do something today, otherwise we will live up to such good 'weather'. ”

Qi Jinzhi jumped directly from the big kang near the window, stretched his lower limbs, and then shook his head at Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo also got off the kang and followed Qi Jinzhi into the inner room.

A quarter of an hour later, Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo each changed into black night clothes and walked out.

"My uncle and I have already slept, if there is nothing to do, no one is allowed to disturb us!"

Gu Jialuo put down the layers of curtains on the bed, blew out the candles in the room, and commanded the crape myrtle and Zisu who were waiting outside the bed.

How smart Er Zi is, as if he didn't see the two masters in night clothes, he agreed, bowed and retreated.

When they walked outside, they thoughtfully sent out all the second-class maids who were waiting outside, and then the two of them each brought a drum pier and sat silently outside the door to guard.

Qi Jinzhi jumped on the big kang near the window, opened the window, and beckoned to Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo came to his side lightly, Qi Jinzhi reached out to catch her, and with a force, he jumped out of the room directly with Gu Jialuo in his arms.

In the endless dark night, the whistling north wind was blowing, and Qi Jinzhi took Gu Jialuo all the way to Prince An's mansion a few blocks away.

Fortunately, Qi Jin's kung fu was good, and Gu Jialuo was not a complete burden, and the husband and wife successfully bypassed the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were patrolling the night, evaded the guards of Prince An's mansion, and easily climbed into the high wall of the palace.

"Xiao 13 has inquired, the master is in the Furong Garden in the atrium, located on the east side of the central axis of the palace......"

Gu Jialuo whispered in Qi Jinzhi's ear.

Qi Jinzhi argued the direction of the debate, luckily dantian, pulled Gu Jialuo and went straight to Furong Garden.
