Chapter 54: A Foot Taller Than Him

Gu Lin had already ordered people to search all over the Du Mansion, and Old Man Du talked and laughed with them without showing any traces on the surface, but there was a big stone hanging in his heart.

However, paper can't always contain fire. His desolate courtyard in the center of the mansion was finally discovered, along with a dozen or twenty women inside.

Gu Lin personally counted the number of people, and reported their names, and he recorded them one by one.

The women, who had not seen the sun for a long time, were filled with excitement and uneasiness when they were found and stepped out of the dark room. They finally ushered in a new life, but they had to accept the cold treatment of others.

However, Gu Lin was disappointed that he didn't find Gu Qing's figure.

Old Man Du sat on the chair with his head tilted, closed his eyes tightly, and held the cane in his hand hard and refused to let it go. He knew that from the moment Murong arrived, he had been completely exposed.

Murong glanced lightly and said, "There is one person missing." ”

The guards looked at each other, they had turned the Du Mansion upside down, not a single fly or mosquito could be found, and there was no shadow of anyone else.

Gu Lin was also extremely unhappy in his heart, but as a court official, he couldn't be angry with Master Du just because Gu Qing was his daughter, and if it spread out, it would not be good for his reputation.

Still calmly asked, "I'm afraid the old man has forgotten something, right?"

Old Man Du slowly opened his eyes, his dark eyes couldn't see any thoughts, he glanced at everyone present, barely stood up straight with the support of the maid, and said in a dumb voice: "What else does Master Gu want to know?

"Old man, you are already guilty of committing a crime, plus bribing government personnel, the crime is added to one degree. At this juncture, you still deceived the court officials and didn't want to turn yourself in?" Gu Lin asked in a deep voice.

Old Man Du said lightly, "What am I deceiving? Master Gu must not bully us ordinary people just because he is an official? Anyway, I have searched and searched the mansion, and I have searched and searched, if you are happy, even if you pry the Du Mansion up from the ground, the old man will have nothing to say!"

He simply tore his face, he was an old man, he had tossed for most of his life, and he had never hesitated when he wanted to kill his wife, so what was he afraid of the scene in front of him? He didn't believe it, Gu Lin, this old guy, really dared to condemn him.

"You ......" Gu Lin was so angry that he pointed at him again and again and couldn't speak, and finally he was helpless, flicked his sleeves, turned his back to the past and didn't want to reason with him anymore.

Calm down and think about it, Old Man Du is very confident, is he really clear of conscience, Gu Qing has never been in Du Mansion?

No, he didn't believe it. Liu Piaopiao said that Gu Qing once suspected that the mastermind behind the abduction and trafficking case was Master Du, but it was so coincidental that she disappeared on the spot just after suspecting her all her life.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a thief and was afraid of being poked out of the basket by Gu Qing, how could he do this extra thing?

"Alright, Master Gu. You should send someone to send the women back first, so as not to worry their families. Murong's voice sounded, and although Gu Lin didn't understand what it meant, he could only do this.

The old man doesn't care about anything, and it's really hard to mess with his majestic appearance at the moment. Gu Lin shook his head, in the current world, wicked people are also doing so reasonably, it's ridiculous!

The women, escorted by the guards, were about to leave the house and return to their homes when a voice deliberately shouted, "Where is Sister Gu Qing?"

The person who spoke was Ah Zi.

The other women looked at each other, not knowing what she meant, but Xiaoyue, who was at the very end, understood and immediately replied, "I don't know where she was taken." ”

Although the sound was very small, everyone present could hear it clearly. Gu Lin raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Old Man Du, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

Ah Zi and Xiaoyue were also broken, if it weren't for Lord Gu and the prime minister to uphold justice, they wouldn't dare to speak boldly.

Old Man Du was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and without Xiaolian by his side, there was no one to make ideas for him. Gu Lin asked him again and again, and Old Man Du stood up on crutches, with one hand behind his back, and just about to speak, his eyes were closed, and he fell straight over.

The old man fell and frightened everyone, and everyone hurriedly carried him into the room, and hurriedly called the doctor to see him. According to the doctor, Mr. Du suffered from madness.

Gu Lin obviously didn't believe the conclusion given by the doctor, and he could be diagnosed with madness just because he fainted? Hua Tuo didn't have such good eyesight in the world.

"The old man is really crazy, yes, I have prescribed him medicine for several years, and the condition is good and bad, this is a mental disease, and there is no way to solve it fundamentally. Afraid that a few adults would not believe it, the doctor explained: "Isn't there still medicine in your mansion? If you don't believe it, you can ask the old man's maid to take out the medicine and show it to everyone." ”

A little maid whispered: "The master's medicine is all in charge of Aunt Xiaolian." ”

"Where's she?"

"I haven't seen my aunt since the adults arrived. ”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener had a heart, Murong glanced at his eyes and said nothing.

"Go and get her quickly, and the officer will question her. Gu Lin commanded.

But Du Mansion is so big, the little maid doesn't know where to look for her, I heard the older generation of people mention it, saying that Xiaolian's mother is locked up in the cellar, who knows if it's true or not? The cellar can't even fly into it, how can anyone live there? Besides, even if someone is alive inside, no one has ever brought tea and water inside, and I don't know whether she is dead or alive?

Gu Lin's orders she didn't dare to disobey, but she didn't dare to go to the cellar, which was the forbidden land of Dufu. If the old man comes to his senses and blames her, it will be a disaster.

The little maid looked embarrassed, didn't say anything, and didn't take action at all. Gu Lin snorted coldly in his heart, could it be that the subordinates of the Du Mansion are also going to turn the sky upside down?

When he gave another stern command, the little maid hesitated to say what was in her heart.

Old Man Du's eyes trembled slightly, his fingers were tightly knocked in the quilt, and the little girl who spoke in his mind was eager to cut a thousand knives. Where did he faint? It was just an expedient measure, and the two generals in front of him forced him to hand him over, and he could only come up with this way to slow down. I didn't expect that all of my subordinates were guys who ate inside and out!

The first reaction when he heard the word cellar, Gu Lin thought that maybe Gu Qing would be hidden inside, and he planned to check it out in person.

As soon as she walked out of the door, a woman dressed as a maid Ying Ying walked over, her expression was calm, and when she saw Gu Lin, she leaned over and saluted, "Slave Xiaolian has seen an adult." ”

She is Xiaolian.

I didn't expect to meet her outside the door, Gu Lin didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "Please also ask Miss Xiaolian to take us to the cellar, the case is important, and we can't delay." ”

"Oh, my lord is going to the cellar, but there is nothing in the cellar but the grave of his dead mother. Xiaolian covered her mouth and chuckled: "Didn't the adults feel sorry for the deceased mother when they saw that they didn't get the Du family's half of the cemetery, and wanted to burn two sticks of incense for her?"

Some people around thought it was funny and burst out laughing.

Gu Lin turned around and glared at him fiercely, and the man immediately narrowed his eyes and didn't dare to laugh again.

Seeing that Xiaolian's expression was not the slightest bit unusual, Gu Lin began to be suspicious, a woman who had not left the pavilion, when she talked about her deceased mother, her tone was so calm and light, as if she had nothing to do with herself.

At this moment, among the many women who were abducted, Ah Zi ran out while the guards were not aware of it.

On the other side, Xiaolian didn't give them a way out, neither did Gu Lin in front of them, nor did they do it in the back. When the little maid who spoke before saw Xiaolian coming, she hung her head and didn't say a word. They all knew how to go to the cellar, but no one dared to go, not to mention that Xiaolian was present, and no one was willing to squeak.

"Your old man has fainted, is there any medicine?" Murong said softly, and after saying that, it also eased the tense atmosphere of the confrontation between Gu Lin and Xiaolian.

Xiaolian hurriedly said: "Yes." Saying that, he quickly took out a pill from his arms, ran to the side of the bed in three steps and two steps, and saw that Old Man Du was unconscious, so he hurriedly put the pill in his mouth.

Murong clasped his hands to his chest and watched everything quietly, but there was a trace of incomprehension in his eyes at Xiaolian.

"So, is he really crazy?" Gu Lin was still skeptical.

Murong smiled lightly: "Yes, my lord, you should indeed believe it." ”

Wei Cai pulled the corner of his clothes behind him: "This maid called Xiaolian, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Murong also knew that from the moment she appeared in the conversation with Gu Lin to the time before, her face was extremely calm, but she was a little flustered after hearing that Old Man Du had fainted. If she is really a maid, I have to boast that she is a good subordinate who is loyal to her master.

"The girls have all been found, and my lord's crime has been decided, I wonder what else is going on with the adults?" Although Xiaolian turned her back to them, there was a coldness in her tone.

The girls were found? She said just a few words from her mouth, but the weight was extremely large, and what those girls suffered in Du Mansion became a huge psychological shadow.

It seems that for Xiaolian, it is all ordinary and trivial.

"Of course there's something, and it's a big deal!"

A clear voice came from far and near, and everyone looked at it, wasn't the woman with a smiling face Gu Qing?

Gu Lin stepped forward quickly, looked at her from beginning to end, and kept asking, "Qing'er, is it really you, where have you been, and are you injured?"

Gu Qing shook his head again and again, but when his eyes touched Murong who was sitting upright in the room, he couldn't help but be stunned, why was he here?

"You?" Xiaolian was surprised, and her legs softened suddenly, but she still pretended to be calm.

"Surprised, isn't it? Your father is right, I get along well with my new friends. She looked at Ah Zi on the side, it was her, and took the risk to go to the cellar to find her. There was a black hole in the cellar, and she heard Ah Zi shouting outside, so she answered casually.

Xiaolian's fingernails hidden in her sleeves were embedded in the flesh, and she knew that she must not be soft-hearted towards the woman in front of her, and she was still to blame for her negligence.
