When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt that his previous life was very peaceful, and there was really no doubt about it when he heard it like this. From this point of view, if there is anything wrong, it should be why they came to the capital, and this matter is very important.

"Tell me in detail about their visit to the capital." Gu Chengyu soaked his body in the hot water, only feeling very comfortable.

His hair is long, and he usually washes his hair with homemade soap, and then changes the water after washing it.

The wooden barrel for bathing is also specially made, and there is a wooden stopper underneath, so you don't have to carry water after taking a bath, so you don't have to worry a lot.

"There is something strange about this, they have been in the capital for more than half a month, but the purpose is unknown. If it's really just to find the eldest granddaughter, the little one thinks it's unlikely. Their family is not well-off, and they don't know if they can afford the money on the boat. But they actually came to the capital by boat, and they still had money to stay in the inn. ”

Gu Chengyu thought about it in his heart, although his family was poor, he couldn't just say that he didn't even have the silver to take the boat, maybe it was saved over the years.

However, from Yingnanfu to the capital, it is farther than Jingyuan Mansion to the capital, and a person will need at least about ten taels of silver.

Children are also counted the same as adults, seven or eight years old will receive six or seven taels, according to this calculation, Gu Changbai and them will have to spend thirty or forty taels on a boat.

How can a poor farmer have so much savings? Even if there is, it may not be willing to take it out and take the boat.

Besides, if you come out to find the granddaughter who has been sold, you don't need to drag your family to the capital, what can you do if you bring the little baby? It's just a drag.

and brought the second aunt with him, which is even more incredible.

"Not to mention, before they came, there happened to be a big event in the house. The youngest son of the eldest son of the second old lady is said to have suffered from an emergency, and he went after only one night. It was buried in a hasty overnight, and even the neighbors were very surprised, they had seen this little baby playing in the village before! ”

Gu Chengyu heard Ming Mo say this, and felt very suspicious. What kind of emergency is it that went so quickly?

"Go on!" Gu Chengyu put this suspicion aside for the time being, and planned to analyze it later.

"It's also true that the prefect of Yingnan Mansion caught the flower child, just on the day when the baby was in an emergency. The next day after the baby was in an emergency, the second old lady took his family all the way to the capital to look for relatives. ”

"I asked people to follow my second uncle before, but did you see them to meet any special person?"

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt that there were several suspicious places in it.

"Back to my lord! Not yet! Mingmo replied respectfully.

Gu Chengyu felt that the water was a little cold, so he had to come out of the water. He wiped the water droplets from his body as he thought about the strangeness of this incident.

"Has anyone seen the child's body?"

He suddenly remembered the dead child, and if a child died in an ordinary family, it would be sad to the extreme. Not to mention how long the body will be left, there is no reason to bury it overnight.

Unless, of course, it is a contagious disease that buries people in a hurry.

"The biography of the flying pigeon is not written in such detail, only that the neighbors do not know about it."

Seeing that Gu Chengyu was wearing a white undershirt and a robe on his shoulders, Mingmo hurriedly stepped forward to take the cloth towel and wiped Gu Chengyu's hair.

"So, there's a good chance you've never seen it."

Gu Chengyu analyzed this, and at the same time connected these doubts in his heart.

He has to make the next step of deployment, and the people in Yingnan Mansion are still waiting for his instructions.

First, the little baby died strangely, saying that it was an emergency, and it was buried in the middle of the night, and the neighbors didn't see it.

Since the neighbors were surprised when they found out, it means that they didn't hear any sounds from the second uncle's house the night before, such as crying. The little baby in the family is gone, it is impossible not to be sad, right?

Second, the time when the prefect seized the time to shoot the flower was very coincidental, and it was the same day as the death of the little baby, such a coincidence cannot but make people reminiscent.

Third, Gu Changbai came to the capital to find his granddaughter, why did he bring his granddaughter and second uncle? Wouldn't it be better to entrust these two to the care of the second son?

If the above doubts are connected, then you can figure out the hidden truth.

After sending Mingmo back to rest, he lay on the bed and talked about it and thought about it repeatedly.

The only possibility that can be thought of is that there is someone behind Gu Changbai, and that person is quite cautious in doing things, one link after another.

Starting from catching the flowers, this is a bureau, and the ultimate goal is to let Gu Changbai and them have a legitimate reason to come to the capital.

So what are you doing in the capital? That's for him, of course. In the Gu family, he is the only one who is an official in the court.

The other clansmen are not even merchants, and there is no need to calculate.

It's not that he is self-righteous, since Gu Changbai has already come to the door, the goal is obvious.

Gu Chengyu suddenly sat up when he thought of this, could the little boy have been kidnapped by the people behind Gu Changbai? In order to threaten Gu Changbai and make them obedient.

Otherwise, it can't explain that Gu Changbai and they came to the capital, but they are still so poor and poor.

In order to let Gu Changbai get close to him, those people didn't give Gu Changbai any money, I'm afraid they had the idea of living in his mansion!

Because Gu Changbai came to the door for the first time, he said that he wanted to live in his house.

Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, and felt that he still had to find out from the matter of shooting the flowers.

After all, the timing is too coincidental, and you may be able to find out something by photographing the traces of Hanako.

He got up, put on his clothes, and went to the inner study. Prepare to grind the ink, write the instructions on paper, and tomorrow call the ink flying pigeon to pass the book.

Like Gu Chengyu, who has not yet fallen asleep, it is Xia Qing, the first assistant of the current dynasty.

As soon as he returned from the palace, he immediately summoned the staff of the palace and some officials he trusted to discuss the matter in the study. It's just that half a day has passed, and it's already the second quarter of Youzheng, and these people haven't even come up with any good ideas.

"My lord! In my opinion, the emperor is not what you think! Staff member Zhang Xiansheng thought for a long time before saying to Xia Qing.

Seeing Xia Qing turn around and look at him, he continued: "My lord! At present, there is no one who can compete with you in the court, and the emperor still needs you to help stabilize the court, and there may not be anyone to replace you for the time being. ”

Now that Lord Xia is powerful in the court, the emperor has no perfect plan, and it is impossible to move Lord Xia, which they have analyzed before.

Xia Qing also calmed down at this time, he thought about it for a long time, and felt that he should be worried about nothing. Even if the emperor wants to move him, it is not now.

"Yes! My lord, the lower officials think that Mr. Zhang is reasonable, so you don't have to worry too much. At present, the most important thing is to solve the problem of side pay first. "I want to talk with more like-minded people about "The Road to the Peasant Family's Fortune and Prosperity", and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
