Grandfather, Bu Shuyuan, a chess piece, is going to be abandoned by the other party, and the opinion of the granddaughter-in-law is that it is better to let her 'die' like this, and see what other actions those people can make behind. Qin Niang knew what Old Man Gu was going to say to her when she was alone in the courtyard, and she didn't talk nonsense, and directly said her thoughts.

Old Man Gu's eyes deepened, and he naturally knew that what she said about letting Bu Shuyuan die, she was not really watching her die, but announcing her death to the outside world, and then seeing if she could lure the snake out of the hole.

"Now that you've thought about it, then let's do it, but even if this person is immortal, he can't stay in the Gu family anymore." Old Man Gu's eyes flashed complicatedly, but then he became firm, "Let her see how these so-called accomplices of hers finally abandoned her, if she wakes up, let her explain clearly, if she is obsessed, ......"

The latter words, Old Man Gu didn't say any more, but Qin Niang already understood.

If you are obsessed, then the Gu family will not be able to tolerate the existence of a black sheep, after all, for the entire family, a granddaughter who has not existed for more than ten years is nothing at all.

"I know, I will try my best to induce her to confess who else is in the capital, but my granddaughter-in-law feels that she may not know everything." Qin Niang looked at Old Man Gu with clear eyes, "There may be many chess pieces like her, and this kind of chess pieces that have gone through a generation are not as loyal as the first generation." ”

Therefore, like this, I am not sure if it is a very loyal chess piece like the first generation, it is impossible for Miao Jiang to reveal too much inside information to them, even if they act according to the arrangement, they will only tell them who they can find and how to act after they arrive at the destination, and she probably doesn't know.

Qin Niang didn't want to kill Bu Shuyuan in the first place, but if she didn't repent, then for the safety of the whole country and the reputation of the Gu family, she couldn't keep her.

By the time Qin Niang left the Gu Mansion with Ying'er, the sky had gradually darkened.

The little girl was obviously very crazy this day, and she was a little drowsy as soon as she got into the carriage, Qin Niang was afraid that she would fall asleep and didn't want to get up for dinner, so she asked Qiu Tao to buy some meat porridge at the restaurant next to her, and let the child eat some in the carriage first.

The little girl was not sleepy after seeing the food, if it wasn't late, Old Man Gu would have left them to finish dinner before leaving, and when he smelled the fragrance, he decisively decided to eat and go to bed again.

Qin Niang wiped the corners of her mouth from time to time, and said jokingly: "Look at you, eating something can make the whole face flower, like a kitten, and your father won't dare to recognize it when he comes back." ”

The little girl tilted her head, and the ribbon on her bun fluttered with her swaying, making her whole little face more flexible: "No, Daddy said that he knows and likes what Ying'er has become." ”

After saying that, she began to drink her porridge again.

By the time she finished drinking the porridge, Gu Zhai was also close at hand.

The mother and daughter got out of the carriage one after the other and walked towards Qinyuan.

Early the next morning, news came out from the Gu family's old house that Bu Shuyuan had died, and suddenly, the entire capital was in an uproar.

That girl was still alive and kicking a few days ago, and she made good friends with those noble girls in various provinces in Beijing, and often went to Yongfangzhai to listen to music and paintings, how can you say that death is death?

So, some people began to inquire, it didn't matter if they didn't inquire, they were shocked when they inquired, and it was said that they were murdered and poisoned to death.

For this reason, Jing Zhaoyin was also alarmed, and Li Mu took Wuzuo to the autopsy early in the morning, and came to the conclusion that he was indeed poisoned and died.

Jing Zhao Yin Mansion also issued an order for those who had intersected with Miss Bu to automatically go to Jing Zhao Yin Mansion to cooperate with the investigation.

For a while, the nobles in Beijing who had crossed paths with Bu Shuyuan were all panicked.

No one wanted to get into a lawsuit, and they didn't want to be suspected of killing Bu Shuyuan, so for this reason, those noble ladies couldn't help but gather in Yuehua Tower.

"What to do? Why did the girl die? Now Jing Zhaoyin wants to pass us on, and I don't know what he wants to ask, is it possible, he suspects that someone among us has harmed her? One of the round-faced girls in green shirts said anxiously.

"Who knows? Yesterday was fine, how can you say that death is death? She is a girl with no identity and no status, no matter how high her status is, she is just stained with the light of the Gu family, in the final analysis, she is also a fatherless, motherless, and no one to support her, who can harm such a person? Another girl in Tsing Yi also frowned and said.

"What do we do now? If you don't get in, you won't be able to get out, right? We are still women who have not yet left the cabinet, if we enter Jing Zhaoyin, how will we talk about people in the future? The third person also said with a sad face.

"According to me, why don't we go together, there is a way to do the law and not to choose the public, and we haven't committed anything, what are we afraid of."

"You said it lightly, as soon as you go in, others don't care if you commit a crime or not, then Li Mu is really, can't you ask us to inquire elsewhere? We have to go to the Yamen, and when we enter the Yamen, who knows how he will treat us. ”

Seven or eight people suddenly argued word by word, and no one could fight for a victory, and in the end, it was Sun Rou, the second daughter of the Sun family, who said: "There will be no result if we continue to argue here, why don't we go directly to Mrs. Li and ask." ”

If you go to the Li Mansion to find Mrs. Li, then you don't need to go to the Yamen, if they have anything to say, you can also let Mrs. Li convey it on their behalf, so that they can not only complete their reputation, but also cooperate with the government to investigate the case, in her opinion, it couldn't be better.

"Second Miss Sun's idea is good, let's send someone to Li's house to deliver a letter now, presumably Lord Li will also rush back to the house when he hears the news, when he wants to know something, let Mrs. Li ask." The girl in the green shirt stroked her palms and said, "It's still Miss Sun who thinks thoughtfully, I was stunned just now." ”

The second girl who was praised smiled shyly, lowered her head, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and when she raised her head again, she regained her shy and shy appearance.

After the subordinates who were sent came back to report the news, the group marched out of Yuehua Tower and headed towards the Li Mansion.

As soon as the group of girls left, a figure who had been sitting in the corner stood up, put a broken silver on the table, and turned around and walked out of Yuehua Tower.

Here, Qin Niang just came out of the military department, and transported the weapons made from the iron shop to hand over to the military department, and after the inventory was completed, it was registered, and the secret guard came to report, saying that those noble girls in Beijing went to the Li Mansion.

Qin Niang knew what they were thinking when she heard it, and she didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the secret guard said that it was the second girl of the Sun family who made this opinion, so she couldn't help but pause.

This Sun family is also a relative of the emperor, is the former queen Xu's maiden relatives, because of the relationship of the former queen, the emperor has always been very kind to the Sun family, Ren Guanglu doctor, acting on the emperor's orders, those officials in Beijing have to give three points of color when they meet.

The status in Beijing is very different.

Over the years, with the death of Empress Xu, Empress Xu's relatives have been very low-key, and even the prince has never jumped out to help in the rebellion, so the emperor did not do anything to them, and gave the same trust.

Now, has the second lady of the Sun family ever had a relationship with Bu Shuyuan?

The Sun family's status has not been affected in any way, and they never disdain to deliberately make friends with anyone, let alone please anyone, for no reason, why do you want to make friends with a girl of unknown origin like Bu Shuyuan?

This is very thought-provoking.

"This second girl Sun is so clever, it's very surprising, you should keep an eye on it and see what they said after they went to the Li Mansion." Qin Niang said that, and sent the secret guard away.

After she returned to Gu's house, Steward Liu immediately came to look for her.

"Young lady, there is news from Huaizhou, there are always people who have disappeared for no reason recently, and they are all young and middle-aged and labor, at the beginning there were only one or two occasionally, but gradually there are more and more, there are no people alive, no corpses are dead, there is really no way to check over there, so I passed the book to report." Steward Liu said in a deep voice.

Qin Niang wrinkled her brows and muttered, "Missing for no reason? ”

Steward Liu nodded: "Speaking of which, these things have existed since King Huai moved to Huaizhou, but at the beginning, there were not many people, so they did not attract the attention of others, and no one reported to the official, but gradually there were more and more people, and some villages almost had no labor." ”

Therefore, it has attracted the attention of the Sekifu.

Moreover, the locals especially believe in the gods, and there is a saying that as long as a person goes missing, maybe he has been summoned by the gods and cannot report to the officials.

So their people didn't notice it at first, and only occasionally heard people talk about people who were favored by the gods, but if they asked a few more words, those ordinary people would keep their mouths shut up, for fear of revealing the secret of heaven and being retaliated by the gods.

Therefore, such a big thing has not been reported back until now.

"Didn't you find out where those people went missing?" Qin Niang asked.

"I didn't find out, it's just that a very strange phenomenon happened there, that is, every time someone goes missing, something bad will happen, such as a flood or a rockfall in the mountains, and every time at this time, those ordinary people will automatically offer those young and strong men to quench the thunderous wrath of the gods."

Therefore, over time, there are almost no young men in that area, and now as long as they go to Huaizhou, everywhere they go is full of old people and women.

And when those children reach the age of twelve or thirteen, when the next disaster occurs, they will also be chosen by the villagers to be dedicated to the gods, and gradually, there are not many male children there.

There are no men in Huaizhou, and no one has planted those labor crops every year, so Huaizhou has owed a large amount of taxes in recent years.

But I don't know what's going on, the excerpts of previous years were almost intercepted without being delivered to the Huaizhou realm, so the capital never knew that the situation over there had reached such a situation.

If it weren't for one of them, they wouldn't have known that someone had covered the sky with one hand.
