Chapter 222: Broken Jade
When Ning Xi heard this, her heart jumped: "Zhi'er in the end...... What was done? ”
In my impression, my daughter doesn't like to talk, because she is not in good health, she always reads at home, and at most, she can only use some medical skills.
What can such a child who has no quarrel with the world do to attract the disaster of killing?
"It's not certain yet."
Gu Qinghuan said: "We can confirm it until I and Gongzi Yan find evidence." ”
Ning Xi saw that Gu Qinghuan didn't seem to be perfunctory, so he didn't ask more, but said, "If you find out the truth, please be sure to tell me." ”
His face was slightly gloomy, and although he didn't explode, anger surged through his pupils.
"Tell Mr. Ning that it's okay, it's just...... I hope Mr. Ning is not impulsive. ”
Gu Qinghuan said: "No matter who harms Sister Bai Zhi, Master Yan and I will avenge Sister Bai Zhi, we have our plan, if Mr. Ning doesn't greet us, he will take action...... It is likely to cause some irreparable consequences, the other party's power is unthinkable to Mr. Ning, and if one is not careful, it will not be good if he loses his wife and his soldiers. ”
When Ning Xi heard this, he understood that Gu Qinghuan had good intentions, he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
Gu Qinghuan is right, blind revenge, it is likely that the goal has not been achieved, and he has been calculated by the other party.
Seeing that Ning Xi was calm, Gu Qinghuan didn't say anything more, and talked to Ning Xi about Bai Zhi again.
However, when Ning Xi heard that Bai Zhi knew how to make ice, as well as Bai Zhi's usual remarks, he showed a suspicious look, and instead came to ask Gu Qinghuan about Bai Zhi's appearance.
Gu Qinghuan was stunned, so he asked Zhiqiu to bring pen and paper and drew a portrait of Bai Zhi.
Seeing the woman in the painting, Ning Xi's eyes showed sadness, "It's Zhi'er...... She's my daughter...... When I heard what you said earlier, I thought I had the wrong person...... Now it seems that maybe she has been through too much of the days when I was not by her side. ”
When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?" ”
"I just think what you said about Zhi'er is not the same as what I remember."
Ning Xi smiled reluctantly and said, "Although I still have that temperament, I have changed a lot in terms of conversation...... Now that I think about it, it was probably because I had been separated from her for too long, and she had gone through a lot of twists and turns. ”
When Gu Qinghuan heard this, she didn't think much about it, she just nodded and said: "Indeed, Sister Bai Zhi moved from Hanchuan to the imperial capital, and she may have encountered a lot of things in the middle, and when I met her, it was already ten years after she left Hanchuan, ten years is enough to change a person." ”
In her previous life, she was in Pingle Pavilion for six years, and she didn't even know herself, and Bai Zhi may be the same as her.
"This portrait ......" Ning Xi looked at the portrait painted by Gu Qinghuan, stunned.
"If Mr. Ning likes it, just take it."
Gu Qinghuan said: "As long as you don't dislike my poor painting skills, it's fine." ”
"No, it won't."
Ning Xi shook his head, "It's already good." ”
As he spoke, Ning Xi put away the portrait, "It's late, I'll go first." ”
He wanted to be quiet.
Gu Qinghuan didn't stop him, he just asked people to send Ning Xi away.
After Ning Xi left, Gu Qinghuan sat in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly said, "Zhiqiu, Zhiyue, get ready, I'm going out." ”
"It's so late, where is Miss going?" Zhiyue was stunned and a little uneasy.
Gu Qinghuan's previous assassination made the Gu family very sensitive.
"Go to Sister Bai Zhi's house and have a look."
Gu Qinghuan said: "There are many residents there, don't worry. ”
Unless the people of the second prince ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, how dare they do it to her in a crowded place?
"Yes, miss." Zhiyue thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she went to prepare with Zhiqiu.
accompanied by the guards of the Hou Mansion, a group of people arrived at Bai Zhi's house.
Gu Qinghuan is not worried about being seen, she has a good relationship with Bai Zhi, and many people knew about it when she was a child.
After learning of Bai Zhi's death, she came to the deceased's house to take a look, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Entering Bai Zhi's house, Gu Qinghuan saw some traces of being turned, presumably when Li Xiaohu came, he checked here.
"Miss, why do you suddenly want to come to Miss Bai's house to have a look?" Zhiyue asked suspiciously.
Gu Qinghuan said: "I just thought of something. ”
As he spoke, Gu Qinghuan walked straight towards the stove in the corner.
Zhiyue and Zhiqiu glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
When they looked at Gu Qinghuan again, they found that Gu Qinghuan was carefully inspecting the surroundings of the stove, as if they were looking for something.
"Miss?" Zhiqiu was also confused, was Gu Qinghuan looking for something?
At this moment, Gu Qinghuan suddenly squatted down and reached out to touch the small corner between the stove and the wall, where some firewood was placed.
From the firewood, she felt something like a cotton thread.
But the cotton thread seemed to be from a long time ago, and it broke as soon as it was pulled.
"Zhiyue."
Gu Qinghuan took away the firewood and said, "Go outside and borrow tools for digging the soil." ”
When Zhiyue heard this, she knew what Gu Qinghuan had discovered, and hurriedly went out to ask the guards outside, and found a short knife, which could barely dig the soil.
"Miss, come on, slave." Zhiyue said, "Lest you hurt your hand." ”
Gu Qinghuan hesitated, but still nodded: "Hmm." ”
Then he said, "Be careful. ”
Zhiyue said: "The slave knows. ”
As she spoke, Zhiyue squatted down and dug along the place where the cotton thread broke.
Looks like there's something buried under the firewood.
The owner of the buried thing, in order to prevent himself from forgetting the place, left a cotton thread outside as a mark.
Dig up the soil carefully.
Soon, Zhiyue dug out a small cloth bag containing a few things, she didn't look at it, but handed it to Gu Qinghuan.
After Gu Qinghuan took it, he opened it and took a look.
It's a halide.
She had seen brine salts before, so she knew that these dark crystals were salt salts.
"Miss, there's something here."
At this time, Zhiyue seemed to have dug up something else from that place.
As she spoke, Zhiyue took out another cloth bag from the pit.
Maybe it's because the cloth bag is too shabby, and when Zhiyue dug deep before, he didn't pay attention to the strength, which caused the cloth bag to break a hole.
When Zhiyue lifted the cloth bag, the contents of the bag also leaked.
"It's ......"
Zhiyue looked at the small white particles all over the ground, "Salt? ”
Really......
Seeing this, Gu Qinghuan's eyes sank slightly.
The vanishing pot.
And the brine that was dug out of the ground, and the good salt.
Back then, Angelica dahurica did research a way to make brine salt into the salt that is eaten today!
"Miss, there seems to be something here, too."
At this time, Zhiqiu's voice sounded from behind.
Gu Qinghuan was stunned, and when he turned his head, Zhiqiu actually climbed under Bai Zhi's bed!
It seemed that because she was looking for something, Zhiqiu wanted to help, so she searched around and touched the bottom of the bed.
Could it be something else used to make salt?
Gu Qinghuan hurriedly stepped forward, "What is it?" ”
Then, Zhiqiu crawled out from under the bed and handed Gu Qinghuan pieces of fragments, "It's broken jade, it fell in the gap in the corner of the bottom of the bed, if it wasn't for the slave maid who put her face on the wall inside to look at it, she really ignored it!" By the way, Miss, this broken jade seems to have words engraved on it! ”
