Old Madam Gu frowned: "The person hasn't come back yet, it's just that even you think so, I guess this matter is really related to the Shen family." ...... year It shouldn't have been done like that, that kid was still so young......"

Gu Lian said: "That child is naturally smart, although she is not yet five years old, she knows a lot of things, and she saw the death of the Shen family with her own eyes, in case she mentions it in front of the Shen family...... Therefore, although her son is reluctant, she really can't keep it. ”

Old Madam Gu sighed: "It's all your sins!" ”

Gu Lian wiped his face: "Mother, the matter has come to this, and it is unintentional to talk about anything else." Let's still think about it, if that Lin Ruan is really related to the Shen family, or even the child back then, what should we do? ”

Old Madam Gu grabbed the Buddha beads in her hand and dialed them: "There are dozens of people up and down the Gu family, no matter what, the old body must protect them." After the people who went to Huaiyang Mansion come back, let's make a decision. ”

Gu Lian immediately relieved Old Madam Gu's meaning: "Then the son will wait patiently first." ”

The Buddha beads in Mrs. Gu's hand kept dialing: "Go and find the family of the person who did things for you back then, in case they also know something about the things back then...... The events of that year must not be known to anyone, especially the Shen family! ”

Gu Lian immediately said, "Okay, son, I'll do it." ”

That night, the back door of Gu's mansion opened, and more than a dozen sturdy men came out of the back door carrying a few sacks and stuffed the sacks into a carriage without any signs.

After daybreak, the carriage swayed through most of Kyoto out of the city and into the barren mountains in the distance.

When I arrived in the mountains, there were already a few fierce men waiting there, and next to it was a big pit about a foot deep.

When the carriage stopped, the strong man stepped forward without saying a word, took down the sack in the cart, threw it into the pit, then filled it with soil, stepped on it, and sprinkled some grass seeds on it.

When the work was done, the driver gave a bag of silver to some of the strong men, and after the carriage left, the strong men also left in the other direction.

A few people waited in the forest for a while, and after the strong men left, they came out, found something to pick up the soil on the pit, dragged out a sack, opened it, and saw that there was a dead body bleeding from seven orifices.

The men looked at each other, then tied up the sack and buried it again.

Back at the county lord's mansion, Jia Thirteen reported the matter of those dead bodies to Lin Ruan.

After Lin Ruan heard this, he was also shocked, and hurriedly activated his ability to let those "intelligence officers" come back.

But the "informants" did not bring back much useful information, because the subordinates were poisoned without knowing it.

The only clue that made Lin Ruan feel useful was that these dead subordinates were all from the Gu family's three rooms, including Gu Lian's entourage, Gu San's personal maid ring, and Gu Ruan's maid ring, as well as a few rough mothers-in-law and miscellaneous servants.

These people are all from the Gu family's three rooms, and most of them are people who have to be used by the owners of the three houses, and they were all poisoned all at once, which can only show one problem, they know something they shouldn't know.

It seems that the Gu family's melons are very big.

So Lin Ruan sent some more "intelligence officers" over, covering water, land and air, and basically every corner of the Gu family had her eyeliner.

I don't believe in such a big deal, and I can't pick up this earth-shattering melon.

After arranging these things, Lin Ruan took his maid ring and guards, prepared some generous gifts, and went to visit Tong's house.

Tong Miaoxin fell into the water because of her, the situation is much more serious than her, it has been a few days, and she has not been able to get out of bed. A few days ago, someone from Tong's Mansion sent some things over, saying that it was to thank her for saving Tong Miaoxin's life, which made her feel very embarrassed.

After all, Tong Miaoxin was really implicated by her that day, and she asked Xiao Lu to give Tong Mansion a return gift, but she still didn't feel enough, so she decided to visit her in person.

When Lin Ruan arrived, Tong Shilang went to the court and was not at home, and Mrs. Tong heard that she was coming, so she hurriedly went to the gate to greet her.

As soon as she saw Mrs. Tong come out, she saluted decently: "I've seen Mrs. Tong." ”

Mrs. Tong hurriedly turned sideways to avoid: "The county lord can't help it, where can the concubine receive your courtesy." ”

Although Tong Shilang is from the third grade, she is also from the third grade, but Lin Ruan's grade is different from the grade she received from her husband's meritorious service, although it is also from the third grade, but Lin Ruan does not have to salute her.

Lin Ruan smiled and stood up straight: "Madame should be blessed, Miss Miaoxin suffered because of me, Madame not only did not blame me, but sent so many things to visit me, so that I really didn't want to go." ”

Mrs. Tong sighed and said: "I don't blame the county lord for this matter, only blame that Gu Ruan is too domineering, Miaoxin falling into the water is not what the county lord wants, not to mention that Miaoxin can survive, thanks to the county lord." The county lord must not blame himself, otherwise I will not be at peace in my heart. ”

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded: "Then we won't mention this matter anymore, by the way, madam, Miao Xin and her body are better, I came here today to visit her." ”

Mrs. Tong smiled and said, "It's better, yesterday I discussed with her that we would go to your house together in a few days, but I never thought that you would come over today." If that girl had known that you were coming, she might have been so happy. Let's go, I'll take you to her courtyard. ”

Lin Ruan followed Mrs. Tong into the Shilang Mansion, and after turning around, he arrived at Tong Miaoxin's courtyard.

Before Mrs. Tong entered the door, she raised her voice and said, "Miaoxin, let's see who is coming." ”

Tong Miaoxin was leaning on the bed and reading the notebook, and when she heard Mrs. Tong's voice, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stuffed the notebook into the quilt, then turned her head to look at it, and suddenly her eyes widened in disbelief: "County Lord!" What are you doing here? ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "I came to visit you, how are you doing?" Is it better? ”

Tong Miaoxin looked at Lin Ruan with sparkling eyes: "It's much better, thank you to the county lord." ”

Yahuan moved a chair over, Lin Ruan sat down and said: "What happened that day, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that Gu Ruan to be so arrogant, causing you to be innocent and suffer such a big crime." Fortunately, you have a great fortune, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to Tong Shilang and his wife. ”

Tong Miaoxin looked at her with burning eyes: "County Lord, I don't blame you for what happened that day, really." Gu Ruan has always been domineering, and I didn't expect her to push me, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go up and stop her. ”

When Mrs. Tong heard this, she couldn't help coughing embarrassedly, this is a sincere girl!

Lin Ruan said: "Don't do this again in the future, when you meet someone like Gu Ruan, the best way is to ensure your safety first, and then decide whether you want to make a move depending on the situation." Even if you don't make a move, it doesn't matter, because that's none of your business. ”
