Chapter 071: The Mystery of the Gu Clan

The villain has always been like a mosquito and a fly, buzzing and annoying. If they disdain to put down their bodies and fight with them, they will treat themselves as if they are the kings of heaven, until the person who is entangled can bear it anymore and slaps him to death, and then realizes that he is just a fly.

Liang Yongde is such a figure. Zhan Wenbing, who was annoyed this time, cleaned him up half to death as soon as he went back. He first hired someone to smash Liang Yongde's porcelain shop, and then cut off his source of purchases, and just like that, a porcelain shop that was already operating poorly closed its doors. Before Liang Yongde could fight back, his gambling house was closed down by the government on the grounds that someone had reported that they had engaged in illegal activities. Liang Yongde, who was cut off from his financial resources all of a sudden, was shocked and angry, and hurriedly ran to his sister to calculate the matter, wanting her to say a few kind words in front of the prefect. Who knows, but she was blamed by her sister for affecting her, and now even the prefect loves to ignore her. Only then did Liang Yongde know that he shouldn't provoke Zhan Wenbing, but it was too late to regret it. Zhan Wenbing didn't even give him a chance to take a breath, and sued the Zheng Pozi and him to the government together, accused of conspiracy to commit murder and arson, and the human and material evidence was complete. Hearing the news, the people of Hangzhou all applauded.

At the same time, Lin Mubai was not idle. As soon as Zhan Wenbing left that day, he called two henchmen over and asked them to investigate the details of Zhan Wenbing, and specially asked him to check his deceased wife. After a few days, he was disappointed by the news he brought back. Judging from the information currently available, Zhan Wenbing is a clean businessman, and his life trajectory cannot have any intersection with his eldest brother who fought on the battlefield. And his late wife, Gu, was an ordinary woman who lived in a simple place, and few people had seen her, only heard that she was frail and sickly, and had been sick for many years. The two henchmen checked for a few days and only found out that the Gu family's name was Gu Liuxin, but they couldn't find out where his maiden family came from.

Lin Mubai, who couldn't get the result, was very frustrated in his heart, but his intuition told him that this Gu family must have some origin. Just as he was about to go out to investigate in person, he heard from the housekeeper of the Qi family that Zhan Wenbing had personally prepared a generous gift to thank him, and sent a post to invite the Lin and Qi families to Zhanyuan for a banquet again. After taking the post, Lin Mubai couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It's just the right time!" ”

So Lin Qi's two families happily went to the banquet. This time, Zhan Wenbing also specially invited several chefs from the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou, "Xiangmanlou", to take charge of the dishes, and they all made the signature dishes of Xiangmanlou. The table was full of delicacies, and everyone was amazed by what they ate. Only Zhan Qingqing, who had just recovered from illness, was a little depressed, because she accidentally lost her mother's relics and has not yet found them. Zhilan hurriedly comforted her and said, "It's a blessing to be able to pick up a life in such a big disaster, and your mother must not blame you for this." Qi Xuan on the side was also busy putting some dishes into her bowl for Zhan Qingqing, and said, "Yes, she saw you jumping around, and it was too late to be happy!" Zhan Qingqing forced a smile at this time.

During the banquet, Lin Mubai found an excuse and went out alone. Based on the descriptions of the previous two subordinates, he soon found the courtyard where the Gu family used to live in this large Zhan Garden. I heard from my subordinates that since Gu's death, no one has lived here for a long time, and few people have set foot here except for the mother-in-law who comes to clean every few days. So Lin Mubai pushed open the door and walked in with confidence. Seeing that the room was cleaned up concisely and cleanly, and the old things used by the Gu family were still neatly placed in the house, Lin Mubai stepped forward to look through them one by one, and there was nothing unusual, he couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking too much.

Looking around, he saw that there were still three or two old books on the table by the window, so he stepped forward to pick one up and flipped through it slightly. It turns out that this is a hand-copied Buddhist scripture, which is densely filled with dignified and beautiful fly-headed small letters, and the strokes are extremely neat, which shows the sincerity of the person who copied the scriptures. Lin Mubai turned over these books one after another, and they were all the same.

For some reason, looking at the fresh and beautiful handwriting, he only felt a little familiar. After staring at the book for a long time, Lin Mubai finally remembered: This handwriting is somewhat similar to the eldest brother's handwriting!

He was so excited by this discovery that his hand holding the book trembled slightly. This woman must have had a very close relationship with her eldest brother, otherwise it would not have been possible to even have such a similar handwriting. It's just that how could a Jiangnan woman from the Gu family have an intersection with her eldest brother? At this time, a name that had been forgotten by him for a long time slowly came to his mind - Rose.

Lin Mubai was not very sure that this Gu Liuxin was Rose at this time, but as far as he knew, except for his sister-in-law Han Sumei, Rose had a close relationship with her eldest brother. Although she approached the eldest brother because of the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect, being able to make someone like the eldest brother deliver her sincerity must have been after a long period of getting along and brewing. Thinking of this, Lin Mubai couldn't help but throw the Buddhist scripture to the ground. If this is true, then this Gu Liuxin is the enemy who killed his brother! No matter how sincere she is to the Buddha, she can't erase her sins!

So Lin Mubai left this place in a hurry, planning to go to Zhan Wenbing to verify the identity of the Gu family. Before he entered the hall, he saw Zhan Wenbingzheng from a distance talking in front of Zhan Shaofeng with a sad face. So Lin Mubai hid behind a tree nearby, and his luck lifted his internal strength, and the conversation between the two reached his ears word for word.

"Child, Daddy knows that you still have some resentment in your heart about what happened back then. However, Daddy really didn't have the intention of abandoning you back then...... When you come back, you should give your father a chance to compensate you, okay? Let's set up another tablet for your mother......"

Zhan Shaofeng remained silent and did not speak. I only heard Zhan Wenbing say again: "Child...... Even if Daddy begs you, our Zhan family is the only one of you, who can hand over such a big family business if it is not handed over to you......"

"Don't you still have a daughter, Zhan Qingqing? Let her inherit the same. Zhan Shaofeng said coldly.

"This ...... This is different......" Zhan Wenbing hesitated for a long time before he said again: "Actually...... Daddy, there's only one son, you. Qingqing is not my own daughter. ”

Lin Mubai, who was hiding behind a tree and listening, was stunned for a moment.
