"Hey, isn't this Miss Gu? How do you have time to be here today? Seeing Gu Tongye coming this way, the little second sister of the restaurant immediately stepped forward to greet her.
Gu Tongye glanced around, because it was still early, there were not many people who came to eat, and there were only three or four people in bits and pieces.
"Bring me a basket of steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, oh, and a pot of peach blossom stuff!" Gu Tongye said and walked upstairs to the top floor, walked to the staircase, thought about it again and again, turned around and said, "By the way, let your shopkeeper come over to see me, I have something to ask her." ”
When Gu Tongye sat down on the stool and didn't sit warm, Wang Ren hurriedly ran upstairs, and when he saw that there was only Gu Tongye who came, he was obviously relieved.
"Miss Gu hasn't seen you for a long time, why do you have time to come here today?" Wang Ren walked over and asked diligently, and at the same time personally poured a cup of peach blossom brew for Gu Tongye.
Gu Tongye didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point, "I have something to ask for, and I hope that the king's shopkeeper will agree." ”
When Wang Ren heard this, his heart immediately beat a drum, and he said, "Miss Gu laughed, you and Lord Xing are confidants and friends, how can you need the help of a small person like me, hehe." ”
Gu Tongye curled the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Shopkeeper Wang, don't be modest, don't hide it, I just came here to ask Ling Lang about some things, and I have no intention of disturbing each other, so you don't have to think about it." ”
Wang Ren muttered in his heart, after doing it for a long time, this person is still here for Xiao Mi'er, presumably for the murder of Lord Qin, but it is useless for her to come to Xiao Mi'er, he and Lord Qin are just nodding friends, and he can't ask anything if he asks. Besides, if the matter between Xiao Qi'er and Lord Qin is made public, it will definitely have an impact on Xiao Qi'er's reputation.
After thinking about it again, Wang Ren was also a little hesitant, but as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, since the last time Gu Tongye and Xing Manlan came together, Wang Ren automatically classified Gu Tongye as a faction of the government.
"This, I don't know what Miss Gu is looking for me?" Wang Ren rubbed his hands and asked.
Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Gu Tongye also knew Wang Ren's thoughts, so he said frankly, "I want to ask Ling Lang something about Lord Qin, don't worry, as long as you can tell the truth, I will definitely estimate Ling Lang's reputation." ”
If they tell the truth, does that mean that if they can't tell the truth, she won't care about the reputation of the little girl? Wang Ren muttered helplessly in his heart, thinking of her simple little son, he couldn't help but have a handful of bitter tears, raising a child who is a hundred years old, and he is worried about ninety-nine!
"The old body naturally believes in Miss Gu, but ...... Alas, please wait a moment for Miss Gu. Wang Ren thought about it again, but finally relented, got up and said helplessly, turned around and walked downstairs.
Gu Tongye smiled and nodded, not urging. Just when Wang Ren left, he finished eating the steamed buns and clear porridge, and after two glasses of wine, the whole person became warm.
With a sound of footsteps, Wang Ren and Xiao Qi'er went upstairs, Xiao Qi'er's face was covered with a thin veil, and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried.
Although men and women don't kiss, Wang Ren actually guarded himself from coming to this stage, why, are he afraid that she will eat her precious son?
Thinking of this, Gu Tongye couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and looked at Xiao Qi'er a little more.
"Miss Gu, this is Xiao Xiao'er." Wang Ren said, and in a blink of an eye, he scolded Xiao Qi'er with a straight face, "Why don't you come over and salute Miss Gu." ”
"Cao Min Wang Mo has seen Miss Gu." Xiao Xiao'er's real name is Wang Mo, and when she saw Gu Tongye, she naturally hurriedly saluted, and her voice carried a softness unique to a teenager.
Gu Tongye got up and wanted to help him up, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, he caught a glimpse of Wang Ren's worried expression, and the direction of his hand suddenly turned, pretending to provoke a fire next to him.
"Don't use these false courtesies, I'll just ask you a few questions, you just have to tell me honestly." After pretending to finish the fire and sit back on the stool, Gu Tongye said with a smile.
Wang Mo nodded, his eyes reddened again, "As long as I can find the murderer of Lord Qin, I will listen to Miss Gu for everything!" ”
What an infatuation.
"I don't know how Prince Wang and Lord Qin met? What do you usually talk about? Gu Tongye asked with a smile.
Wang Mo thought about it, shook his head and said, "Actually, Lord Qin doesn't come here very often, and even if he comes, he won't be able to sit for long before leaving, so I don't know anything about her very well." I only heard her say that her ancestral home is Jian'an, and then it seems that for some reason the family moved down, and later returned to Jian'an. ”
Gu Tongye nodded, and asked again, "Think about it carefully, did she say anything else besides these?" ”
Wang Mo shook his head with a sad expression, "Lord Qin is a good person, she is talented and gentle towards people, even if she is very loving to beggars and orphans, she will never look down on people like those young ladies of the family, but will give those poor people a bite to eat, but why is it that such a good person refuses to let her go, Lord Qin is so good." ”
Seeing that Wang Mo's eyes were redder and redder the more he spoke, and two bubbles of tears were about to flow out, although Gu Tongye felt that it was not authentic to peel off other people's scars like this, he couldn't give up halfway, so he asked, "Beggar orphans?" What's going on? ”
Wang Mo blinked, gently wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and choked up, "That day, Lord Qin came to the restaurant to eat, and happened to meet a beggar who came to the door to beg for food, and the little second sister was afraid that the beggar would scare the diners in the house, so she said that she wanted to drive him away, and the noise downstairs attracted the attention of Lord Qin, and Lord Qin relieved the beggar and bought some food for the beggar with money."
Lord Qin said that everyone needs help from others, and she was the same back then, if it weren't for the kindness of that benefactor, maybe she would have died on the streets. The grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates, although I am a man, I also understand these truths, but it is a pity that Lord Qin is such a good person, but in the end he ended up with such a miserable end......"
Wang Mo kept wiping his tears, babbling about Qin Hairong, he remembered every time he met, every time he talked about her, in addition to tears, his eyes were more in love.
Gu Tongye sighed in her heart, Qin Hairong couldn't come for a while, but it was enough to make this young man miss her for a lifetime. I don't know if one day she Gu Tongye dies, will anyone think about her for the rest of her life-
After coming out of the restaurant, Gu Tongye tightened the clothes on his body and walked towards the yamen with stiff legs.
The weather was a little gloomy, the cold wind was even colder, and the vendors on the streets were not as lively as usual, scattered on both sides of the street, looking pitiful.
Almost all the yamen officials already knew Gu Tongye, so they didn't ask anything when they saw her come to the door, they just said hello and let her into the inner house.
"Ridiculous, it's just nonsense, as an official of the imperial court, how could this official do such a filthy thing, Xing Manlan, don't think I don't know your mind, I sue you, you want me to carry this inexplicable black cauldron, you dream!"
Just a few steps into the inner house, Gu Tongye heard Lin Yuanshuang's loud shouting, and his tone was very angry.
"Why should Lord Lin be angry, yes or no, he has his own evidence to speak!" Xing Manlan said with a sneer.
It seems that Xing Manlan has found something, but he doesn't know what is going on, which actually makes Lin Yuanshuang so irritable.
Gu Tongye shook his head with a smile, stepped into the house with light steps, glanced around, and said in surprise, "Hey, why is it so lively today, have you eaten yet?" ”
Lin Yuanshuang glared at Gu Tongye resentfully, her expression grim.
Xing Manlan was the opposite, as soon as he saw Gu Tongye, he immediately laughed, winked at her, and the corners of his mouth grinned behind his ears, "Miss Gu, you are finally here, we are here to discuss the matter of Lord Lin." ”
"Oh? I don't know what's going on? Gu Tongye pretended not to know, and found a leeward position to sit down.
Xing Manlan was not in a hurry to say, but smiled, "Before this matter is investigated, I don't want to speculate, and wait." ”
"Humph! I want to see what evidence you have! Lin Yuanshuang shook the hem of her clothes and sat on the Taishi chair, her eyes full of contempt.
