Gu Banqin sat on the soft couch, and Jia Jinlu reported what he had heard:

"Niangniang, you personally went to Commander Bi and said that the Hu Ye he introduced was really powerful, according to the minions, the most well-informed Hu Ye in this Jiankang City is this Hu Ye."

"The slave just told Hu Ye about the matter, and guess what, in less than two quarters of an hour, Hu Ye's people came back to inquire about the Fan family's affairs. It's much more than what the minions asked for a long time in Fujia Alley that day. ”

Gu Banqin has seen the ability of that Hu Ye, he and Bi Geng know each other, and it seems that both black and white are eaten.

Gu Banqin wanted to quickly investigate the affairs of Uncle Peony's house, thinking about it, she still had to find someone who knew everything in the city, and suddenly thought of this Hu Ye, dragged her sick body, and regardless of the opposition of Liu Yao, she personally went to find Bi Geng and asked him to help with this matter.

"Tell me, what did Hu Ye find out?"

Gu Banqin rubbed her hands, when she was cutting plum branches before, she was drenched in water, and her hands were a little cold, Caiping saw her sit down and handed her a hand warmer, Gu Banqin asked Jia Jinlu to come close to talk.

Jia Jinlu saw Hu Ye's skills outside the palace today, and his interest was particularly high:

"Hu Ye's people found out that the Fan family did accept a butcher's dowry two months ago, and wanted to marry her sister-in-law with peony, and the dowry of three hundred taels made the Fan family bother to ask about the butcher who had killed three wives."

"But after the Fan family agreed to the butcher, I don't know what's going on, so the matter spread to the palace, let the peony know, and sent a thousand taels of silver to the Fan family overnight, and said that as long as they don't marry her sister, they will be given this amount every year in the future."

"The Fan family is greedy for peony money, but the Fan family has already agreed to the butcher, how can they regret it? I thought of a trick to cover my ears and steal the bell, and sent the peony girl to the outside of the city, and the butcher heard the wind from somewhere, and chased him to Fan's house overnight. ”

"This butcher was originally a splasher, and he had a few strengths to kill pigs, and he smashed the Fan family through that day, saying that if the Fan family didn't hand over the people the next day, he would come over to kill people with a knife, and this matter was what Zhang Yuzhu and I heard about in Fujia Lane."

"At that time, the story of the butcher and the Fan family was spread in the streets, and everyone thought that the Fan family was going to be planted in the hands of the butcher this time, but they didn't expect it, but after one night's work, the butcher was settled, and he didn't dare to mention the trouble with the Fan family again."

Jia Jinlu said quickly, but it was clearly organized, so that people could understand it as soon as they heard it, Gu Banqin thought about it and asked:

"Oh, what else? Where did the peony get so much silver? How did the butcher settle people overnight? ”

When Gu Banqin heard this, he already had a general outline of the peony in his mind, and now he was about to add something specific to this outline.

The 1,000 taels that Peony gave to the Fan family are greasy, and the promise of 1,000 taels per month to the Fan family is even more greasy, and the fierce butcher, how can it be quiet?

It must have been the Fan family who informed Peony of the news that the butcher had come to the door to ask for someone, and then the person behind Peony came forward to settle it for her......

In this way, the logic works.

Jia Jinlu took a breath before continuing to whisper:

"Peony doesn't know where to get so much silver for the Fan family, but the butcher ...... Hu Ye's people found out that the butcher was already in debt outside, how could he take out three hundred taels of silver to make a dowry for the Fan family? Therefore, Hu Ye deduced that this matter, starting from the butcher's proposal to the Fan family, was a situation at all. ”

Gu Banqin's eyes lit up, Jia Jinlu's words were a little unexpected to her, if the incident started with the butcher giving a dowry, then there would be a hidden secret.

The person behind Peony wanted Peony to do things for her, so she came up with the idea of using Peony Girl to control Peony, so she found a notorious butcher.

Let him use a lot of money to attract Peony's uncle and aunt to accept the dowry and agree to the marriage, and then the news was quickly spread to Peony's ears, Peony didn't know why, thinking that there was really a butcher who took a fancy to his sister.

Peony understands the nature of her uncle's greed for money, but she can't take out such a huge amount of money at once, at this time, she will inevitably think of the person behind her who needs her to do things, and the person behind Peony is like this This is how he caught Peony on the hook step by step, making her willing to die.

After all, she received so much money from other people, and in order to keep her sister from being married off by her uncle's family in the future, she also had to give money to her uncle's family continuously, and she wouldn't know that in fact, all the tragic things she encountered now were all the things she thought were made by the people who helped her behind her back.

"The person who laid it out, do you have a clue?"

Gu Banqin has the answer in her heart, but she also wants to confirm it from others, lest she have prejudices against people and be wrong.

Jia Jinlu bit his lip and seemed to be a little hesitant, but when he saw Gu Banqin's expression of raising his eyebrows, he no longer hid it, and whispered to Gu Banqin:

"Hu Ye's people went to check on the butcher and found that he had a relationship with Zhang Li, the head of the Gu family, two months ago, Zhang Li had borrowed hundreds of taels of silver to the butcher, and Hu Ye himself said that if it weren't for someone who should cooperate with the outside, with the ability of the Fan family, where would he have the ability to pass the news into the palace to give the peony to know, so the person behind this must be inseparable from the Gu family."

This answer was not too surprising to Gu Banqin.

She had guessed that now in the harem, it was estimated that only Gu Nianshu would think of killing her in that cruel way, and now after many verifications, Gu Banqin no longer has to worry about wronging Gu Nianshu.

In the bedroom, only Jia Jinlu and Liu Wu were on the side, Liu Wu was very surprised by Jia Jinlu's inquiry, she didn't know why Gu Banqin had to investigate the peony as soon as she returned to the palace, and thought that the peony was serving the wrong place.

But now after listening to Jia Jinlu's words, Liu Wu naturally sensed that something was wrong, and asked Gu Banqin:

"Niangniang, what is the Gu family so deliberate about taking peony for? Even if Peony is a medical girl in Lihua Palace, but the medicinal food she made for Niangniang, and the medicine she boiled, were all handled by the Tai Hospital, so what did the Gu family want her to do? ”

"The slave maid expected that no matter how bold the peony was, she wouldn't dare to do anything in the mother's diet and medicine, these things came down one by one, and she didn't have a chance to do it at all."

Gu Banqin didn't speak, but swept his gaze to the dresser, Liu Wu and Jia Jinlu followed Gu Banqin's gaze, and Liu Wu woke up suddenly.

In the past few days, Niangniang has not put on makeup because she is sick, but she still has no idea of putting on makeup after getting better today, and Liu Wu knows that the rouge used by Gu Banqin recently, and even the rouge used by the palace maids in the entire Lihua Palace are all from the hands of peony......

Gu Banqin saw that Liu Wu's face had changed greatly, and subconsciously reached out and touched his face, and couldn't help but feel funny, and said:

"She's for me, and she's not stupid enough to put poison into the rouge of all of you."

Liu Fu thinks about it, this is also the truth, the peony is the mother, and she doesn't have so much poison in her hands to harm everyone in Lihua Palace......

Raising his eyes and catching a glimpse of Gu Banqin's smiling expression, Liu Fu thought of his reaction, blushed embarrassedly, and asked Gu Banqin:

"Now that Niangniang has already investigated clearly, what should we do next? Do you want slaves and maids to go and get people now? ”

Gu Banqin shook her head silently, if Gu Banqin wanted to take the peony, then she would have sent someone there as early as when she knew that rouge was poisonous.

But if she does it now, then at most she will pull out a peony, and the people and things behind her will not be implicated at all.

Because in this plan, Peony is just a harmful chess piece, and she may not even know about herself, and it turns out that what she took the initiative to find was calculated by others.

Thinking of this, Gu Banqin beckoned to Jia Jinlu, Jia Jinlu came over with his ear, Gu Banqin said a few words in Jia Jinlu's ear, Jia Jinlu nodded while listening, and after Gu Banqin finished speaking, Jia Jinlu saluted and said: "Yes, the slave knows, so let's do it." ”

After speaking, he also stepped down from in front of Gu Banqin, and Liu Wu sighed: "Niangniang, since you all know, why don't you tell us these days, we also recommend the rouge made by peony to you, so we can be regarded as harming Niangniang." ”

Gu Banqin smiled and shook his head: "Yes, so, now I will punish you to change the rouge made by peony for a box, and everything will be business as usual from tomorrow." ”

Since you want to do a play, you naturally have to do a full set, and Gu Banqin can't always wear makeup, only when she puts on makeup, she won't startle the snake, so that the things behind her can unfold more smoothly.

Two days later, Peony hurriedly entered her room, and took out a second note from outside the palace from her cuff, the first one received yesterday, both of which were written by her sister herself.

The person who sent the letter was also sent by the same person Peony had made an appointment with her sister, and Peony did not have any suspicions, opened the note and read the words, and then rolled up the paper again in a hurry.

The note said that in the past two days, the butcher who proposed marriage went to the door again, this time he really went with a pig-killing knife, and Fan Cha slashed him.

The butcher still said the same thing, since the Fan family accepted the dowry, then it was necessary to marry someone to him, the Fan family was frightened, and proposed to return the butcher's dowry of three hundred taels of silver on the spot.

But the butcher was determined to marry someone, and he didn't want to return the silver, and when he left, he said that he was giving the Fan family three days to think about it, and if the Fan family dared to make a small move to send people away or something, the butcher said that he would definitely come to the door to kill all the people in the Fan family, and then flee from Jiankang by himself.

Fan Cha had heard from the outside that the butcher had killed several people, and he was so frightened that he would marry the butcher three days later.

My sister had no choice but to find the little eunuch stationed in the procurement office outside the palace who had agreed with Peony, stuffed the silver, and asked him to send the letter to the palace overnight.
