Gu Jiuge settled Nantian and Huiqiu, asked Aunt Li for some clothes, and kept the silver to come down, and then he and Mu Liang went on the road. Fortunately, there was a hunter in the village, and there were two horses at home, so Gu Jiuge borrowed one for the time being.

I abandoned the carriage and started much faster.

What was supposed to be a six- or seven-day journey now takes only five days. Although I arrived in Jiangnan, there was still a trouble. Gu Jiuge didn't know where Lin Luoshi's hometown was, but he had heard her mention that her family was in the silk brocade business.

And when they entered the city, they changed their clothes.

During this period of time, Gu Jiuge was already a little overwhelmed, Mu Liang was distressed, and said, "Let's eat something first." ”

Gu Jiuge pondered for a moment and snorted. The two of them found a big restaurant, and people came and went, so they should be able to find out a lot of things.

Seeing that the two of them were extraordinary, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile, bent down and said respectfully: "Two distinguished guests, please." ”

"This little brother, I'll ask you about something." Gu Jiuge sat down, looked at him and said very kindly.

The shopkeeper had never seen such a stunning woman as Gu Jiuge in his life, and he had already lost his soul, and when he heard Gu Jiuge say this, he naturally responded happily and said, "Madam, just ask." ”

"It's nothing, I'm a foreigner, I heard that there is a silk brocade in Jiangnan where the silk brocade is very good, so I want to ask the little brother if he knows where this silk village is?" Gu Jiuge asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper scratched his head when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Madame, this is embarrassing, there are so many silk villages in our city, I really don't know which one Madame is talking about." ”

Mu Liang said in a deep voice: "The shop owner's surname is Lin." ”

In this way, it should be possible to narrow down the scope. At the beginning, I heard what Lin Luoshi said, Lin's Silk Village did a good job, and I could hear about it.

Xiao Er thought about it again when he heard this, and then he made a look of sudden realization, patted his head, and said, "Childe is talking about Lin's Silk Village." ”

Mu Liang nodded.

"Do you know where the little brother is?"

After hearing this, the smile on Xiao Er's face dissipated, and he said regretfully: "That silk village is indeed still there, but it has long been surnamed Lin." If Madame wants to go, go out of our door, and go west to the end of the street, and you will see it, which is the largest silk house in our city. ”

Gu Jiuge frowned slightly.

Don't have the surname Lin anymore?

"Thank you, little brother, please help us keep a room, let's come when we go." Gu Jiuge was very puzzled in his heart, there was really no way to sit here honestly and have a meal, he took out a silver ingot from his purse and put it on the table, looked at the little two and said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Gu Jiuge made such a generous move, the shopkeeper naturally had no reason to deserve it, accepted the money, and said happily: "Madame, just go, the little one will definitely arrange it for you." ”

Mu Liang really couldn't resist Gu Jiuge, so he could only accompany her out of the door. The two of them followed the direction of the shop's little two fingers and found the silk village. As the shopkeeper said, this shop is no longer surnamed Lin.

"What does Madame need?" As soon as Gu Jiuge entered the door, he saw a woman coming over. Gu Jiuge took a look, and thought that the person in front of him was the shopkeeper.

Gu Jiuge smiled lightly and said, "Madam, I have something to ask, I don't know where the original shopkeeper of this shop went?" ”

When the woman heard Gu Jiu Ge ask, the smile on her face was scattered, but she still said kindly: "My shop also changed hands, and the original shopkeeper disappeared after selling the shop to me, I really don't know." ”

Gu Jiuge was thoughtful when he heard this, and asked again, "Then does he have any relatives here?" Or where is his home? ”

The woman sighed lightly when she heard this, waved her hand again and again, and said, "Where does he have any relatives, even if he does, people will not recognize him." ”

Seeing her say this, Gu Jiuge became more and more sure that there must be something strange in this. Or maybe that's the key to finding out the truth.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiuge took off a jade bracelet of excellent color from his wrist, handed it to the woman, and said with a smile: "Delay Madame for some time, it's just that I do have something important to do with him." ”

The woman saw that Gu Jiuge was beautiful, and her speech and demeanor were also generous and decent, which made people very comfortable, so she did not refuse, and ordered the two women to take a good look at the shop in front, and she took Gu Jiuge and the others to the backyard.

The three of them sat down, and Gu Jiuge said softly: "Madam, can you tell me about this Lin Clan's Silk Village." ”

The woman thought for a moment and said, "My Zhuangzi was originally the Lin family's silk village, and the shopkeeper was Mrs. Lin. Everyone in Jiangnan City knows Mrs. Lin, and her mother's family has been running a dyeing workshop for three generations to do silk business. Later, with the support of her mother's family, she opened this shop, she is very attentive to this shop, and she has done everything herself, and the business is very good. ”

Gu Jiuge didn't interrupt her when he heard this, wanting to collect as much information as possible.

But she also has a hard life, her husband Lin Dahai was a down-and-out talent when he was young, a poor scholar, and he still had some ambition back then, and he also said that he wanted to get fame. But after getting married, Lin Dahai didn't think about the way of career, and lived all day long by Mrs. Lin's shop, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and everything was accounted for. At this, she sighed lightly and shook her head regretfully.

"And then?" Gu Jiuge asked softly.

Later, Mrs. Lin fell ill and died. The shop was unattended, the business was getting worse and worse, and the only old customers were still looking at Mrs. Lin's past face. The woman paused, and then said, "That Lin Dahai didn't care about anything, he still ate, drank, prostitute and gambled, and lost all his family savings, and finally there was no way, so he sold the shop." I used to be friends with Mrs. Lin in a handkerchief, and I couldn't see her hard work being ruined like this, so I took over. ”

"Lin Dahai is so unenterprising, haven't the people from Mrs. Lin's mother's family looked for him?" Gu Jiuge asked suspiciously.

The woman shook her head and said, "Where does she have any mother's family, she died a few years after she got married." Otherwise, she would not have been pinched to that point by Lin Dahai back then. ”

Gu Jiuge was a little sympathetic when he heard this, and said: "I heard that Mrs. Lin has a daughter, where is her daughter now, can the woman know?" ”

"Wrong, wrong." The woman waved her hand and said with a smile.

Gu Jiuge was stunned for a moment, glanced at Mu Liang, and then said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Not one daughter, it's two." The woman gestured with her finger out.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Jiuge couldn't slow down, in the past and present lives combined, she didn't know that Lin Luoshi had a sister?

"And ah, it's still a twin sister, the appearance is average, if it weren't for the birthmark on my sister's shoulder, I'm afraid my mother wouldn't be able to tell it." The woman said with a smile, and the smile on her face increased at the mention of Mrs. Lin's child.

Gu Jiuge was shocked in his heart, setting off a stormy wave.

Twin sisters, I see!

"Then, Lin Luoshi, is it a sister or a sister?" Gu Jiuge asked tentatively.

When the woman heard Lin Luoshi's name, the smile on her face was even greater, mixed with a little distressed look, and said: "Luoshi is a younger sister, she has followed her mother's temperament since she was a child, although she is gentle and demure, but she is not completely temperless, she has her own opinions. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have ended up like that. ”

At this, her brows furrowed, and her face was full of distress.

Gu Jiuge asked, "What's the end?" ”

At the beginning, Lin Dahai wanted to sell the shop, but Luo Shi didn't agree to anything, and was beaten up. Later, Lin Dahai spent all the money he used to sell the shop, and because he was good at gambling, he owed gambling debts, and he couldn't repay them, so he ...... He sold it to those who gambled on it. It's been almost a year, and I don't know how the kid is doing now. ”

Gu Jiuge took a deep breath to calm himself down, trying not to let her see anything abnormal, and then asked, "What about my sister?" Didn't Mrs. Lin have two daughters? Where is my sister now? ”

The woman frowned when she heard this, and said: "Sister Lin Rushui is a clever person, she knows how to please Lin Dahai, every time Lin Dahai owes gambling debts, she will always have a way to help him pay back, so Lin Dahai is reluctant to sell her and keep her with her." But I haven't seen his father and daughter for a few days, and I don't know where they went. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiuge already had a calculation in her heart, if things were really as she thought, then it should be her sister Lin Rushui who is trapped in the General's Mansion now!

And Lin Luoshi, life and death are uncertain.

Gu Jiuge fell into deep thought, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. She should have thought that Lin Luoshi disappeared for no reason, and she was afraid that she would be taken away, so she took the opportunity to drop her bag, and when Zhao Bingye went to save people, she would hand over her sister Lin Rushui. It's no wonder that her temperament changed greatly during that time, and she even perjured Zhao Bingye to frame her.

The General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for anyone to enter and leave the General's Mansion freely without being discovered. But if Lin Rushui secretly brought Hongying into the mansion, who would have thought of suspecting her?

I have to say that the queen really took advantage of the loophole this time. If it weren't for Gu Jiuge's insistence, I was afraid that Zhao Bingye would lose his life for no apparent reason. And the General's Mansion will be completely discredited because of this matter, which is really a good strategy.

"Ge'er?" Mu Liang didn't get a response even after calling a few times, so he couldn't help but raise his voice. Gu Jiuge came to his senses when he heard this, and the expression in his eyes was complicated, angry and anxious.

Mu Liang stroked her back and said softly: "Now that the truth is clear, the top priority is to find Lin Dahai's father and daughter as soon as possible." And your sister-in-law, I'm afraid that this time is already more auspicious. ”

Gu Jiuge nodded when he heard this, slowed down, and then looked at the woman and said, "Thank you, madam, but please keep today's matter a secret." ”

The woman only thought that Lin Dahai had caused some trouble outside, and nodded again and again to reassure.

Gu Jiuge and the others left the silk village.

"Lin Rushui is in the royal city, and Lin Dahai must be there. We ran away. Gu Jiuge said coldly.
