Everyone was still silent, Yuan Bao'er nodded and patted the corner of the robe.

"Okay, I see, that's it."

She got up and left.

The craftsmen felt open in their hearts and watched her leave.

Only an old man in the corner looked apprehensive for a moment, and then changed into a good old man when people looked at him.

Everyone waited until Yuan Bao'er was completely far away before they gathered in a pile to discuss.

Naturally, everyone has been denying it, insisting that even the family has never said a word.

Everyone has been working for many years, and they all know what their temperament is.

If you say no, you don't.

Everyone laughed and laughed, and I don't know who talked about the old man in the corner.

"Wang Laohan, it's you, do you have anything to say?"

Wang Laohan's face changed slightly, and someone laughed, "He usually looks like a noodle melon, and he doesn't dare to borrow his guts." ”

"That's not necessarily, he drank a few taels of sour soup and changed people."

Wang Laohan's face turned red all of a sudden.

Everyone laughed and joked with the descendant who mentioned this, "Wang Laohan has become a relative since he was married, so he can't be honest, doesn't he say that he has quit drinking?" ”

"That's it," Wang Laohan held back for a while before he said, "I won't drink anymore." ”

Everyone laughed, and the topic changed to fear.

Wang Laohan married a decent lady at an age, and he was not a father before he was a grandfather.

At this time, I went to the lady, so I was naturally a little afraid.

Everyone usually likes to joke about Wang Laohan, who holds a pear flower and presses a begonia, Wang Laohan has a good temper and is not angry.

But today, I don't know if the previous topic annoyed him, everyone just said a few words, Wang Laohan drooped his eyelids, and took the opportunity to leave after a while.

Everyone usually has a good relationship, and when they see her like this, they all reflect on it.

"I'm afraid it's a bit too much, but you should pay attention to it in the future."

Everyone said one after another, busy with the work at hand, and didn't take it to heart at all.

It's just that the next day, Wang Laohan didn't come, and everyone laughed twice, and they were afraid that he would be angry when they heard about it later, so they all stopped talking.

But because of this, no one remembered to go to his house to look for it.

After another two days, Wang Laohan still hasn't come.

The big guys were waiting for a part that Wang Laohan had in hand, and seeing that he was delayed, everyone was in a hurry, so someone went to his house to look for it.

It doesn't matter if you go, it alarms half of Kyoto's government.

In the early morning, Yuan Baoer returned home exhausted.

Gu Sheng came over from the study, "How is it?" ”

Yuan Bao'er shook her head, "It has been dealt with a long time ago, and the people stayed there, just waiting to be discovered." ”

She took the tea handed over by Gu Sheng and took two sips before gritting her teeth with hatred.

"This man is really vicious," she said, "and his wife is pregnant." ”

"It must have been done by an acquaintance," Gu Sheng said.

Yuan Bao'er nodded, she thought so too, otherwise there was no need to kill people.

She asked about the leak of secrets on the front foot, and he had an accident on the back foot, which was too coincidental.

"What are you going to do?"

"Check it," Yuan Bao'er said: "The mouse also came to help, check who the old man usually interacts with, and the situation of his wife." ”

Although Yuan Baoer has a good relationship with her subordinates, she has never been involved in the family, so she only knows that Wang Laohan and old trees have planted new flowers, but she doesn't know what the flowers are.

Gu Sheng nodded, and when he saw Yuan Bao'er's tired face, he dragged her to rest.

Yuan Bao'er has been busy all day for this, and she really can't hold it anymore at this time.

After taking a shower, my eyelids sank terribly, and I fell asleep in just two breaths.

Gu Sheng sat on the side, kneaded her hair dry, and then went to bed to rest.

The next day, Yuan Baoer hurriedly went out.

She went to the Kyoto Mansion first, where the people from the Zhongshu Mansion were already there. 、

Everyone saluted, and the person from the Zhongshu Mansion took the right hand book, indicating that he would also participate in this matter.

Yuan Bao'er recalled in her heart that this person seemed to say that his name was Zhou Ming.

"Lord Zhou," Yuan Bao'er smiled, "I don't know what you are in charge of in the Zhongshu Mansion?" ”

Zhou Ming smiled slightly, "I will mainly sort out the official documents submitted from all over the country, classify them, and hand them over to Zaifu or other departments." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled and wanted to speak.

I don't want Zhou Ming's painting style to change, "But I have practiced the law since I was enlightened, and I have been in the cold and summer for more than ten years, although I don't dare to say that I have memorized it backwards, I can also take it as a few treasures." ”

When Yuan Bao'er heard this, she wilted.

Isn't this the same as Cui Jiu?

She can't afford to mess with such a person.

She smiled and nodded, "That's just right, Lord Zhou has rich theoretical knowledge, and Lord Zhang has rich experience in handling cases, and they have always been able to arrest the murderer in a few days." ”

Zai Fu has already intervened, and it is still in this form, Yuan Bao'er knows that she must withdraw from this matter.

Otherwise, if something happens in the future, she won't be able to eat and walk around.

She immediately made a decision, withdrew the foot she stepped out, and arched her hand towards the two, "Then I'll wait for the two of you to have good news." ”

She walked away without looking back.

Zhang Fuyin didn't even say anything, he could only watch Yuan Bao'er leave.

Zhou Ming smiled slightly, "Master Zhang, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Zhang Fuyin burst out of scolding in his heart, but there was a wry smile on his face, "This matter is really inexplicable, I haven't figured it out yet." ”

"So I have an idea," Zhou Ming was waiting for, and he immediately laid out the cause and effect relationship that he had been thinking about all night.

Zhang Fuyin was very impatient, but for the sake of Zaifu's face, he had to listen patiently.

Yuan Bao'er left the government office and went to the Ministry of Industry.

Halfway through, after thinking about it, she went to find the mouse again.

The mouse was about to enter the mansion, and when he saw Yuan Bao'er coming, he hurriedly invited her in.

"How's it going?"

Yuan Bao'er knew very well in her heart, and Zaifu's intervention meant that there was something else going on, and she had to find out what was going on before they made a move.

Whether it is to give Wang Laohan justice, or to find out the leakage of the drawings of the Ministry of Engineering, this matter is full of strangeness, and she must not let them run ahead.

The mouse poured her a cup of tea, and waited for Yuan Bao'er to sit down before saying, "Someone heard that before Wang Laohan's accident, there was a noise in the house, and it sounded like their husband and wife were arguing. ”

"Because of what?"

The two died later, and Yuan Baoer naturally cared about why the two quarreled.

The mouse shook his head, "The two of them quarreled a lot, but they never mentioned why." ”

Yuan Bao'er smacked her mouth, "It's hard work, you continue to investigate, I'll go back and ask." ”

The mouse nodded, watched her go out, called a few of his cronies, and ordered them to continue to stare at the vicinity of Wang Laohan's house, and it was best to inquire about something.

Of course, by the way, they also monitor the Zhongshu Mansion, no matter what the news, they must make sure that they get it as soon as possible.

Bu Yiwei is the most well-informed, and the matter of his own peak and left and right is not a secret to them at all.

The mouse emphasized so much, obviously in his position on this matter, he was biased towards Gu Sheng.

On the other side, Yuan Bao'er had already gone to the workshop, and the craftsmen already knew about Wang Laohan, and when they saw Yuan Bao'er coming, they hurriedly surrounded him.

"My lord, what's going on? Can you catch the murderer? ”

Yuan Bao'er shook her head, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she said, "Who of you have seen Wang Laohan in the past two days?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and someone in the crowd said: "She had a few words with us that day, where do we dare to provoke him?" ”

"Quarrelsome?"

Wang Laohan is a well-known good man, quarreling about this, saying who it is, Yuan Baoer believes it, but he is the only one, Yuan Baoer is a little surprised.

Everyone nodded, and since this was mentioned, everyone also opened the conversation.

"In the past, everyone used to joke, and he didn't do much, and he laughed with me, but he didn't know what happened that day, so he came at us."

"We didn't say anything."

Yuan Bao'er nodded, her eyes slowly passed, and she noticed that someone in the crowd was leaking a look of disapproval.

"Xu Ming, come with me," she immediately took the roll call and took him outside the workshop.

"What did you say that day?"

Xu Ming was embarrassed to say that they made fun of his young lady, so he said vaguely: "It's nothing." ”

Yuan Bao'er narrowed her eyes, "This matter may be related to the cause of his death, are you sure not to say it." ”

Xu Ming didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he hurriedly explained the cause and effect clearly, and said: "We used to say this before, and it was much more than that. ”

"He doesn't get angry, and sometimes he agrees."

The words reveal that they don't care about their business.

How could Yuan Bao'er not understand his careful thoughts.

But this is not the time to think about this, she nodded casually, and asked Wang Laohan about his demeanor and demeanor at that time, as well as various differences.

After asking several times to make sure there was no problem, he let the person go.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, wanting to go in and see the baggage, but when she heard the people inside talking, she thought about it and left.

Back at the mansion, the more Yuan Baoer thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

A person who doesn't care about the reputation of the lady at all, or rather, doesn't care about the fun of the workers, how can he suddenly mind.

Is it because the lady is pregnant?

After all, he is also old, and he is eager to be a child.

Yuan Baoer thought about it for a long time, but she had no clue, so she could only give up.

When he got home, Gu Sheng was looking at the map, and Yuan Baoer walked over and looked at it twice, becoming more and more silent.

Gu Sheng saw that she had a heart, and smiled and pulled her to sit down on the couch by the window.

"Don't worry, just 20,000 people, as long as you give me enough time, you can take it."

Yuan Bao'er said: "There is a lot of water in the south, this is the weakness of you and the Xiaocai battalion, and using your weakness to attack their strengths is a matter of half the effort, or even no success." ”

Gu Sheng smiled, "Anyway, there are few of them. ”

"That's the one that gives me the upper hand."

"Besides, the way to fight a war is not just a water war, if he wants to play, it also depends on whether I should or not."

"Can you bear it?"

Yuan Bao'er was most worried about Gu Sheng's spirit that sometimes rushed up, for fear that he would do irrational things that would endanger his life because of his momentary anger.

Gu Sheng nodded, held her hand, and said softly: "For the sake of you and the child, I will hold back." ”

After receiving his affirmative reply, Yuan Baoer finally relieved.

Gu Sheng saw that there was no joy on her face, so he said, "Is there no clue yet?" ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded and sighed softly.

"There must be something wrong with this, but I can't find a reason for it yet."

Gu Sheng smiled, "This matter is actually simple. ”

Yuan Baoer rolled her eyes.

Gu Sheng said: "That old man Wang, he is old and has not yet married, and his family background must be very bad. ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, "In the early years, his mother was seriously ill and had been on the bed for many years. ”

"It's been these two years, his mother left, and he saved some money and said that he was a daughter-in-law."

Gu Sheng snorted, "At a young age, the family is still surrounded by four walls." I heard that he married a lady with excellent appearance, and he can also run a family, and his personality is even more amiable and kind. ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, a little surprised.

"You've been inquiring very carefully."

Gu Sheng smiled, "It's all obvious, so I asked someone in the alley and found out." ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, not quite understanding what Gu Sheng meant by this.

Gu Sheng felt that he had ordered it very thoroughly, but seeing that Yuan Bao'er was still confused, he remembered that she was not his subordinate, so he patiently explained, "An old man who has nothing, is so lucky, he marries a lady who can't be found with a lantern as soon as he marries, and his luck is really good." ”

"But no," Yuan Bao'er said casually, and then came to her senses, "You mean that his wife cheated on marriage." ”

Gu Sheng smiled and did not comment.

"No," Yuan Bao'er shook her head, "the craftsman who is there also said yes." ”

"No one is perfect, how can everything be good."

Gu Sheng said: "I am 100,000 satisfied with you, but that's because I have you in my heart, so I turn a blind eye." ”

"You know that you have been taught by Master Cheng, and the teaching you have received is higher than theirs, so in the eyes of others, it is also a lot of faults."

"She is a village woman, but she is unanimously praised like this, you think it is normal."

Naturally not.

Yuan Bao'er wrinkled her brows and thought for a while, "According to your inference, there must be someone behind this." ”

One of the cheating marriages is dead, so the remaining one is the one who killed Wang Laohan.

Gu Sheng nodded, "This person is definitely not a stranger, I should know him and his family very well." ”

"I know," Yuan Bao'er remembered that the day before, when she followed the officials of the government to investigate the case, she had heard that Wang Laohan's family had fled the famine in the early years, and had some kinship with the grocery store proprietress at the mouth of the alley.

She got up and went out.

Gu Sheng planned to put away the table and prepare to eat.

Seeing Yuan Baoer going out, he was busy following.

Yuan Bao'er held him down, "You stay at home to prepare, you don't have to waste your time for trivial things." ”

Secrets have been leaked, and it is not a big deal to find out who it is sooner or later.

Compared with this, Yuan Baoer was more worried about Gu Sheng's trip to Huainan.

There is a bed crossbow that is not inferior to this side, and it is more than enough to defend the city.

If Gu Sheng is a strong attack, he will inevitably sacrifice many soldiers.

This kind of result is not what Yuan Baoer wants to see.

"Okay, then I'll stay at home."

Gu Sheng has now dumped all the work of Bu Yiwei to the mouse, although he is still Bu Shuai, but the real power is already in the hands of the mouse.

Just like him and Wen Shuai back then.

Yuan Bao'er walked out of the house and went straight to the workshop.

It's time to get off work, and the craftsmen are getting ready to go outside.

Yuan Bao'er stopped everyone, "Today I went to find out about Wang Laohan, and there are some problems in this. ”
