Gu Qingyan returned to the execution room just to observe the changes in the expressions of the others after the person came back, if nothing else, they would inevitably be suspicious in their hearts.

After a while, Dong Ran came back with someone, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pat his arm, and when he turned around, he smiled slightly, and his movements and expressions were in one go.

Gu Qingyan in the shadows nodded with satisfaction, saw the reactions of several other people, and waited for someone to show a flaw so that she would know who to let Dong Ran take next.

"Master." This time, it was Holly who discovered the clue first.

Looking in the direction that Holly was looking, Gu Qingyan saw that one person was clasping his hands, and his eyes would look away from time to time, wanting to communicate with his eyes, but he found that the other people did not want to respond to him.

Gu Qingyan waved his hand and walked out of the torture room with Holly.

"The others in Shimen didn't find anything, did they?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Holly knew that Gu Qingyan still had concerns about the people inside the Shimen since the last trial, and took advantage of the fact that they went to Xieyang City for the past two days, Holly took several other ghost guards inside and out to thoroughly investigate, but all the faces were checked again.

So he said, "It's all confirmed." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded and responded: "I'll go to the other garden, you can retreat first." ”

"Yes, master."

Holly retreated, and Gu Qingyan went to the other garden, at this time Bailimo should still be there, but Gu Qingyan wanted to find Gu Ning first and then discuss things with Bailimo.

When Gu Qing was smoking the garden, he saw Bai Limo and Xing Ming fighting in the front yard, Gu Ning and Yun Luan were sitting in front of the house, burning incense on the desk, with a stove next to it, and warm water on it.

Gu Qingyan walked around the corridor, and when she got closer, she saw that Yun Luan seemed to be embroidering something in her hand, and Gu Ning was helping her with the thread on the side, so that the husband and wife were in harmony and the years were quiet.

Gu Qingyan leaned forward and saluted: "Dad, mother." ”

Yun Luan put down the things in his hand when he heard the sound, beckoned, and asked Gu Qingyan to go to her side: "Come on, come here." ”

Gu Qingyan walked over obediently, snuggled up to Yun Luan's side, said a few words, picked up the embroidery that had just been put down by Yun Luan, and looked at it carefully.

It should be just embroidered, and you can only vaguely see a silhouette depicted, Yun Luan is making a hook on the edge, Gu Qingyan picked it up and looked at it upside down, and saw that the pattern was a pile of persimmons, with a wishful next to it.

"Mother's embroidery is all the best, it's definitely not for me." muttered a word and sprinkled coquettishly.

Yun Luan scratched Gu Qingyan's nose: "You, who said that you didn't need these things." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, and I don't know when the patterns on her body gradually became simple, even if they were embroidered with some patterns, they were embroidered directly when they were making clothes. The embroidery piece is really useless, so the son mentioned it to Yun Luan.

"But why did my mother remember to embroider this?" Gu Qingyan asked, thinking about it carefully, she hadn't seen Yun Luan move needlework for a long time.

Yun Luan picked up the embroidery piece and said, "In the past, when we traveled abroad, we didn't have the time to do this. This time is not all in the valley, it should be all a pastime. ”

After Gu Qingyan heard this, she actually heard another meaning, and pulled Yunluan's hand: "Mother, but you feel bored staying in the valley?" ”

Yun Luan looked at her expression of reluctance to trouble them, instantly understood, patted Gu Qingyan's hand, and said with a smile: "You girl, what are you thinking, after so many years, can't you let us rest for a while?" ”

"Yes, yes." Gu Qingyan hurriedly coaxed, "Then why did the third brother get into contact with the third master?" ”

Gu Qingyan saw that Baili Mo and they didn't mean to stop, so he asked.

Gu Ning looked at Xing Ming and them, looked back, and then said, "Your third master is checking whether your third brother's skills are retreating or advancing, or..."

Gu Qingyan saw the look in his father's eyes when he looked at him, and knew what he wanted to do, so he hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, Dad, my daughter has time to make it herself every day, I want to do it in the morning and in the evening, but this person in the rivers and lakes refuses, so there is no need to check, no need to check." ”

As he spoke, he ducked behind Yun Luan, only poking his head out of Yun Luan's shoulder, watching Gu Ning's reaction with dripping eyes.

Gu Ning snorted lightly and asked her, "Do you have anything else to do here?" ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, silently came out from behind Yun Luan in Gu Ning's eyes, sat up straight, and explained his intention.

"A few days ago, someone inquired about the mountain behind Shimen, so I asked Holly and them to pay attention, and yesterday they ran into five people head-on and tied them up and took them to the torture room."

"It seems that you don't have a clue, ask for help with your third brother?" Gu Ning said.

Gu Qingyan shook her head: "It's not all, it's one thing for these people to not open their mouths, my daughter always has a way, but there are a few points that I have to roughly understand before starting." ”

"Oh? Then tell me about it. ”

"First, the identities of these people are really difficult to ascertain, they are too clean, and even the weapons they use are ordinary things. Besides, since they can do these things, their tone is naturally tight. ”

"They're not out of the ordinary?"

"No, just from the fact that they only keep their mouths shut and do not need to die when they are captured, it seems that they are not very loyal to their employers, and there is no life and death order. But one thing I've just affirmed is that they may have the power or someone in the hands of the employer. ”

"What do you want to exchange?"

This is the second doubt that the daughter wants to say. Shimen and Peach Blossom Stream, what needs to be investigated like this? ”

When Gu Ning said this, a thought flashed in his mind, but he just guessed that he couldn't be sure, raised his eyes to Gu Qingyan's eyes, and found that she was the same, so the two exchanged eyes.

"When did these people show up?" Gu Ning asked.

"After Chinese New Year's Eve." Gu Qing flute.

Yun Lun had been following their thoughts, and at this time he instinctively said: "On Chinese New Year's Eve and beyond, there are only outsiders who have come to the valley..."

"Grandpa Guo." Gu Qing said, "Mother, do you know King Yijun?" ”

Yun Luan didn't know why Gu Qingyan suddenly mentioned the people in the capital except for King Yu, and thought about it after being slightly stunned: "King Yijun? ”

Gu Qingyan added: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Twelve Princes." ”

"Twelve?" Yun Luan went through his memory, and then he had a vague impression, "The one with the five princes and the same mother?" ”

Gu Qingyan nodded in confusion, Yuwang should mean this.

"Why did you mention him?" Yun Luan asked.

Gu Qingyan told them in detail about their meeting with King Yu in Xieyang City from beginning to toe.

As he was talking, Bai Limo and Xing Ming also ended the competition, and they came over together, without interrupting Gu Qingyan's narration, and listened to it first.

After listening, Yunluan dialect: "So that's the case." I remember, twelve is the little five concubines in the grace when conceived, pregnant with him during that time did not suffer less, I thought that the birth of another prince can go to grace again, which into the child as soon as the birth of the little five gave birth to a serious illness, the child did not fall to anything good, and then the little five biological mother tried her best to regain her favor, this child should have been raised by the side of the grandmother. ”

"So, his mother doesn't really want to see this child?" Xing Ming said.

Yun Luan nodded. Gu Qingyan never thought that he would still be able to hear about the palace like this.

"Xiao Wu's child was already weak and sickly, but fortunately, he was smart and had the grace of the ancestors, but at that time, he often went to raise his grandmother, and he should have gone to see his younger brother."

"In this way, when everyone was cold, my brother was taken care of by my brother, and now that my brother is an adult, it is not impossible to do something for my brother." Gu Ning said.

Yun Luan nodded, if it weren't for the fact that the first five princes were competing with the current emperor, the child in her impression was a gentle and elegant appearance and kind to others.

"So, do you suspect that these people want to use the Peach Blossom Stream to find loopholes in order to become the handle of King Yu, and finally bring down King Yu?" Gu Ning looked at Gu Qingyan in thought.

I saw Gu Qingyan nodded: "That day, Father-in-law Guo came to deliver the decree, do you remember the gift list that was sent together?" ”

Yun Luan nodded, she had read the gift list later, a full six folds, Gu Qingyan's copy of everything from pearl hairpin earrings to silk cloth to the house display, even Xu Shaolin, Zong Yue, and Baili Mo were all listed.

"On that day, these things were received together with the gifts sent by others during the day, and it was only during the banquet that Guo Gonggong..."

Baili Mo thought about it and found something wrong, and Gu Qingyan and the others also found loopholes in it.

In those days, there were many things, and even though more people were dispatched, no one thought that the other things sent were no different, and the things sent in the capital were not bad, but the problem was the people.

"Baili, you must find out how many people came out of the capital that day and how many people went back, and how many people went back in several waves." Xing Ming suddenly felt that something was big and ordered Baili Mo.

Bai Limo responded, "Yes, Master." ”

"I don't think it's going to be that much trouble." Gu Ning said, "Yan'er, who sent someone back to follow Gonggong Guo when he left you that day?" ”

Baili Mo said: "Master, the one who sent the disciples. ”

"What do you say about the return?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary." Bailimo replied truthfully.

Gu Ning nodded and looked at everyone: "That's it, it's obvious that you don't need to send someone to walk more." ”

"Tell me more." Yun Luan didn't understand, and urged Gu Ning to finish the story.

Gu Ning sighed lightly and analyzed with them: "Madam, you are from the palace, you should know how many people will be sent according to Yan'er's grade?" ”

Yun Luan replied: "One messenger personally envoys to the inner prison, two followers to the internal eunuchs and three envoys to the inner supervisors, plus eight iron cavalry escorts, a total of fourteen people. ”

"How many came to us that day?"

Gu Qingyan remembered so much, she had to see these people that day, how could she count them.

Fortunately, Baili Mo silently wrote it down: "There are exactly fourteen people." ”

"If there is no more, no less, this part of the population will naturally not have problems." Gu Ning said.

Yun Luan felt that he was talking nonsense after going around, so he glared, and Gu Ning reassured: "Listen to me." ”

Then he asked Bailimo: "How many people do you estimate they need to send things?" ”

Baili Mo thought about being caught by Xu Shaolin that day and went to the warehouse to help sort out the several large boxes, and he had a headache when he thought about it: "About seven or eight cars come over, if there are four people in a car, plus escorts, there are fifty people younger." ”

"What do you think?" Gu Ning asked Yunluan.

Yun Luan knew what Gu Ning wanted to know, and said: "The palace has to transport things out, and the escorts are generally deployed by the commander of the forbidden army, if there is no problem with this part of the people, there will generally be nothing." But the people who drove the car were deployed, not to mention the emperor, even the officials above the second rank did not need their interference, and the people below naturally arranged it. ”

"This is the person who is most prone to problems, but if there is no problem in this part, there are two reasons, either we are too worried, or someone knows that there is a difference, but hides it and turns a blind eye." Gu Qingyan said coldly.

Gu Ning nodded, now everyone understood what he had just said without wasting effort.

Obviously, the person is already in Gu Qingyan's hands, which proves that it is not that they are too worried, then it is the latter, so there must be a problem in the middle, so there is no need to prove it, even if you want to investigate, it is also to find out who is hiding it in the middle, so even if this person is not the direct employer of the five people, he is also the head of these five people.

Baili Mo immediately sent someone to send a message to Xi Du, and when Xi Du arrived at Yuhua Tower, he asked him to find out about the matter first.

"So, what about the people in your torture cell?" Baili Mo asked Gu Qingyan, he couldn't keep it closed like this.

Gu Qingyan said: "Don't worry, there will be results in three or five days, these days I let Holly eat and drink well, and from time to time bring someone out to let him, whether he can ask or not, when the time comes, I will send it back, and continue to serve with good food and drink." ”

People will always be suspicious of unknown actions, as long as they have doubts, they will think crankily, as long as they think cranky, they will subconsciously follow their own cognition, Gu Qingyan is not afraid that they will not speak when the time comes.

"By the way, third brother, if there is a result in the West decision within three or five days, let him..."

Baili Mo knew how to say: "Know, let them not implicate innocent people." ”

Even if those five people opened their mouths, Gu Qingyan would not let them get out of the stone gate alive, as for what they were concerned about, after all, they were all innocently implicated.

"Do you have anything else?" Gu Ning looked at Gu Qingyan and found that she still seemed to have some concerns.

Gu Qingyan said: "Dad, apart from us, there are still people who know the old ghost, whether it is the original person or the current one?" ”

Gu Ning thought for a while and said, "Except for Xianjun and us, no one else knew about it at the beginning, and now only a few of you know." ”

"The emperor doesn't know?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Yun Luan shook his head: "We said at the beginning, the end of this matter is with us, if you are not in charge of Shimen, otherwise we will not inform you." ”

"But in this case, it is not entirely certain that he will not know." Gu Qing flute.

Obviously, they also agreed with Gu Qingyan's words, so it was difficult to answer for a while, but Bai Limo opened his mouth first: "If we turn our eyes back, it is very important who Guo Gonggong obeys here." ”

"Tell me about it." Xing Ming sometimes feels that Bailimo's analytical ability is no less than Xu Shaolin.

Baili Mo sorted out his thoughts, in fact, this matter is very easy to understand, now there is no situation in the court where the power of the internal supervisor is tilted towards the government and the opposition, not to mention that the internal supervisor who came to pass the decree is not the highest level of internal supervision in the palace, so even if this matter is covered by him, most of the cases are also under the orders of people in higher positions.

"As long as you know who he obeys, you will naturally find the source of the matter." Bailimo finished.

Gu Qingyan followed the words: "Actually, you don't need to work too hard, just prove that person is not the person I guessed in my heart." ”

She knew very well that there was only one person who could target them like this now, at least that one was currently on the surface - King Yijun.

Baili Mo nodded, since there is a goal, starting with this goal is the fastest way to get feedback.
