Gu Bai came back soon and checked the Liujiazhuang roughly.

"That Zhuangzi is indeed strange, and it seems that all the people are soldiers, not as those people say, it was done by a group of bandits, according to their own words, most of the people in that Zhuangzi are no longer from their own village, and those strong men in the village will be sent to work in other places, it seems that they are responsible for transportation and digging iron ore."

Gu Bai stood outside the door of the wooden building, the moonlight shining through the leaves, shadowing his face, looking a little mottled.

Gu Chen stood up, his black hair loosely tied behind his head, and the mountain breeze blew slowly at night, no matter how much he saw him, he could not be compared with the great commander in charge of the defense of the entire capital in the court.

"The people in that village are very vigilant, it doesn't seem to be formed in a day or two, on weekdays, they are like ordinary people, there are still people who go into the city to sell some handmade products made by themselves, and at night, there is a large black iron processing workshop, they are very xenophobic, and their subordinates have not entered the village before, they are stared at, and from their mouths, they can't ask anything."

When Gu Chen heard this, his brows tightened, it seemed that the problem in that village was very big.

"They saw that their subordinates only brought a few people, so they wanted to drive their subordinates away, but fortunately they caught a few wastes, they said that they met gangsters on the road, and their subordinates were their benefactors, and kindly sent them back to the village, so those villagers did not hoe their subordinates." Thinking of the situation when he stepped into that village before, Gu Bai still felt cold sweat.

Although he thinks that his martial arts are not bad, but after all, it is a den of tigers and wolves, and it looks like he has been practiced, if there is really a conflict, no matter how high his martial arts are, he will not be able to escape the siege of everyone.

"The subordinates said that they were businessmen, I heard that they were making ironware in the village, and they wanted to go to the workshop to see, they immediately raised their eyebrows, looking like they were going to kill people, and the subordinates finally waited until it was dark, and wanted to go to the night to explore, but I didn't expect that there were masters on duty at night, and the subordinates were almost found before they got close, and the subordinates felt that they saw outsiders entering the village during the day, so they raised their vigilance at night, so they didn't break in again."

Gu Bai gave a detailed report on the process of his two trips to Liujiazhuang, Gu Chen was silent for a long time, and said: "You find an opportunity to arrest the person in charge of the Zhuangzi and try it for trial, there is actually such a big black weapon den at the foot of the imperial city, and those people also blatantly say that there are people in the court, it seems that their backstage is not simple, you should check it carefully." ”

Gu Bai replied and retreated.

Gu Chen returned to the house, Qin Niang leaned on the side of the bed with a sleepy-eyed appearance, and when she saw him come in, she immediately cheered up and asked, "Are you done talking?" What's the situation? ”

Gu Chen walked over, took her to the bed, kissed her on the forehead and said, "Sleep when you are sleepy, it's not too late to ask tomorrow if there is anything." ”

Qin Niang was indeed much sleepier than usual because she was pregnant, so she didn't force herself, nodded and closed her eyes, found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep.

Because the matter of Liujiazhuang may be implicated, Gu Chen and Qin Niang did not stay in Zhuangzi for long, and set off early the next morning to return to Beijing, as for the child named Xiaoyu, Gu Chen sent someone to send him back to his original place.

I thought that the fate of that child and them would stop here.

However, he did not expect that the subordinate sent to escort the child back to his hometown came back and reported: "The village where the child is located seems to be empty anymore, it is a deserted village, leaning against the mountain, and there are not many houses, it seems that it has been deserted for more than a year or two." ”

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, in such a place so close to the capital, it stands to reason that there will not be any deserted villages, but there are also some places where people live in relatively remote areas and the road conditions are not very good.

"The village that the child said was no different from the mountain, and I heard that the people in the village later made some money, so they all moved out, and there was no one in the child's house, although there were traces of cleaning in the house, but it looked more like it was deliberately made to look like someone had lived there." Subordinates look at it more carefully, so they report in more detail.

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed deeply, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The subordinate waited for a while, and then asked, "Master, what should you do with that child?" ”

In this way, most of what the boy said was false, and it is still unclear what the purpose was.

"Let's put him in the Qiankun Center for the time being, and then look back and see what he wants to do." Gu Chen said thoughtfully.

The Qiankun Detention Center is a shelter built by Gu Chen in the name of a private person, specifically to house the families of those soldiers who died in battle, mainly some elderly people and children who are left unattended.

These things should have been managed by the state, but in recent years, there have been wars, the treasury is empty, and natural and man-made disasters in some places have hardly allocated money, so Gu Chen funded the construction of such a place, which is why even if he is not an official, the emperor will give him a little more thin noodles.

The things he solves for the emperor every year are not just a matter of silver.

"Yes." The subordinate answered and quickly retreated.

Qin Niang's hand reached out from behind, wrapped around his waist, and asked, "Is there a problem with that child?" "97 Chinese

She also heard the report of her subordinates just now, so she also knew that the child's origin was a little unknown, and there were few words of truth in his words.

It's just that he specially came to reveal to them what is the purpose of Liujiazhuang's place?

"At the moment, it seems that this child is not innocent." Gu Chen held her hand, through the thin fabric, he could clearly feel her face against his back, and his heart was soft, "However, no matter what his purpose is, I will find out, don't worry." ”

"Hmm." Qin Niang replied in a low voice, since she was pregnant, her brain has hardly been used, and she is now more and more accustomed to letting Gu Chen be in charge of everything, as if as long as he is there, her heart will be settled.

However, the people sent out by Gu Chen went one after another, but no one was able to find out the specific inside story of that Liujiazhuang, and in the end, they had to disguise themselves as fleeing villagers and blend in.

"Isn't that village xenophobic? How did your people get in? Qin Niang smacked her tongue and asked in amazement.

I have to admit that the people under Gu Chen are still very powerful, they are not only efficient in doing things, but also very methodical, and they are specially trained at a glance.

"Although they are xenophobic, they do not exclude women and half-grown children." Gu Chen tugged at the corners of his lips and said.

Qin Niang looked at him in surprise: "You even have women and children under your hands?" ”

Gu Chen tugged at the corners of his lips, stared at her and said, "Look at what you said, it seems that the people under my hands can't get married." ”

Qin Niang choked, and then asked again: "Even if they become relatives and have children, can they let their wives and children do such a dangerous thing, okay?" ”

Gu Chen stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, since this matter has to be done by people, I will naturally choose a woman with special training to do it, and their children, from the moment they are born, have received all kinds of special training, they know more than you, and they will be fine." ”

Qin Niang heard him say this, and then she was relieved.

However, it is also thanks to Gu Chen that he can find such a combination, otherwise, that Liu Jiazhuang will really not be able to find out the truth for a while.

A few days after Gu Chen's people infiltrated Liujiazhuang, a shocking news came back, saying that they had seen Yang Hong meet with the owner of Liujiazhuang in private, and this news immediately made Qin Niang not calm.

"No way, my eldest brother can't do something like that." Although she is a few years younger than Yang Hong, she has also been pampered by Yang Hong since she was a child, Yang Hong's personality, she knows best, even if he wants to do such a thing, he will not be stupid enough to do it at the foot of the imperial city.

"I also believe that the black Zhuangzi has nothing to do with your eldest brother, it's just that my people saw Yang Hong sneakily go to the Zhuangzi at night and make an appointment to meet the owner of the village, because they were afraid of being discovered, the spies stood far away, so they didn't hear what they said, it's just that there is a problem with this Zhuangzi, and if Yang Hong's appearance there is known to others, no matter why he goes there, it is not a good thing for him."

Gu Chen twisted his eyebrows, looked at Qin Niang and said seriously.

Qin Niang opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word, she knew that Gu Chen was right, this matter was really weird everywhere, and besides, the Yang family has always done things above board, and it is impossible to do such a disgraceful thing.

"Qin'er, my people know your eldest brother, so she is sure that she is not mistaken, as for why your eldest brother appeared there, it is better for you to go back to your parents' house and ask him, if he has any other plans, it is better to inform us in advance, otherwise, in case this matter is operated by someone with a heart, it will not be good." Gu Chen looked at her fixedly and said.

Qin Niang took a few deep breaths, calmed down for a while, and then nodded: "Yes, I want to go back to my parents' house and ask him in person." ”

With that, she got up and was about to walk out.

Gu Chen stopped her and said, "It's getting late now, why don't you go early tomorrow morning?" ”

Qin Niang glanced at the sky, it was past the time of Shen, and when she returned to Yang's house at this time, she was afraid that she would not have time to come back, but when she thought of Yang Hong's matter, if she couldn't ask clearly today, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

Gu Chen seemed to see the struggle and scruples in her heart, so he could only sigh and say, "Okay, if you insist on going now, then go ahead, it's a big deal to stay in Yang Mansion for one night and come back tomorrow." ”

When Qin Niang heard this, her eyes immediately lit up: "Then I'll go change my clothes." ”

With that, she quickly turned around and entered the inner room, Gu Chen looked at her anxious back helplessly, and said, "Be careful, don't go so fast." ”

As he spoke, he lifted his heel.
