Shangguan Xiu was thoughtful, silent for a while, and then he asked again, "How many enemies does the Gu family have?"

Fan Tianyu said: "The Gu family has been in business for generations, especially in Gu Chunyuan's generation, the business is getting bigger and bigger, almost monopolizing the entire cloth industry in the country of Feng, and the peers who have been squeezed by the Gu family to the point of having no way out can basically be regarded as the enemies of the Gu family.

"Looking at the handwriting left by the murderer on the wall, it should be that there is a blood feud with the Gu family. ”

But it cannot be ruled out that the murderer had ulterior motives and deliberately diverted the target. ”

"If analyzed in this way, the murderer could be anyone. ”

"But no matter who the murderer is, he must have a very fierce conflict or competition with the Gu family, and if he can hire or dispatch a group of such powerful killers, the identity of the real murderer is definitely not simple, and it is definitely not something that ordinary businessmen can do. ”

"You mean, the murderer is from the court?"

"It's possible. ”

"Who could it be?" "If the Gu family's people die, whoever gains the most may be the real murderer." "You mean...... The Cai family?" "I don't dare to assert it, but the Cai family does have the ability to do this. ”

Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed with a gleam, the Cai family's suspicion was indeed very great. The Cai family has always been eyeing the Gu family's business, and there was a case in Shangjing where the Cai family hired a murderer to kidnap Qingling, and this time the Gu family's tragedy can be linked to the Cai family's previous behavior. He took a deep breath, changed his words, and asked, "Why was Qing Ling able to escape this catastrophe?"

"It was saved by someone. ”

"Who rescued her?" "I don't know, it is said that it is two people who saved Miss Qingling, and after they rescued Miss Qingling, they sent her to the door of Taixue Pavilion, and then the officers and soldiers of Taixue Pavilion found Miss Qingling unconscious, so they brought her into Taixue Pavilion, and then, the court learned of this, it is said that His Majesty personally ordered that Taixue Pavilion should be placed in Miss Qingling, and she must not be allowed to have another accident, and now, Miss Qingling still lives in Taixue Pavilion. ”

I see. Shangguan Xiu sighed. Tang Ling didn't have much benevolence to himself, and often took revenge, but he was very good to Qing Ling, just because she was willing to take special care of Qing Ling, he was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart.

Taixue Pavilion is not the place where ordinary people can live in, and those who can live in it are high-ranking historians and ministers of the court, who are responsible for compiling the emperors and histories of the previous dynasty. Tang Ling was able to place Gu Qingling in the Taixue Pavilion, which could also be regarded as an exception.

The Gu Mansion has already been carefully cleaned up, even if the killer has any clues, there is nothing left now, and it is pointless to continue to check here. Shangguan Xiu turned around and said, "Go to Taixue Pavilion." ”

Taixue Pavilion, located in the west city of the imperial town, is a magnificent official residence. Standing outside the Taixue Pavilion, you can see the Taixue Building at first glance, a four-storey four-storey quadrangular tower, the whole is dark red, a typical Fengguo-style building.

As soon as Shangguan Xiu and his party walked to the door of Taixue Pavilion, they were stopped by the soldiers. Shangguan Xiu showed his official credentials and said bluntly: "I want to see Gu Qingling." ”

Now Shangguan Xiu's title is not a battalion captain, but the head of a county given by the emperor himself.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu's official certificate, the soldiers' faces changed, and they hurriedly returned the official certificate respectfully, bowed down and hugged their fists to salute, and said: "It turned out to be Lord Shangguan, disrespectful and disrespectful, and the villain will report to it here." ”

The soldiers entered the Taixue Pavilion for a short time, and an old man came out of it, wearing an official uniform, sixty years old, with gray hair and beard, but he was full of energy, his face was full of red light, and he had an old pedant atmosphere on his body.

This old man is the highest official of the Taixue Pavilion, Taishi Wanjun.

In the past, Taishi was a big official, but later his status gradually decreased, and he became an old scholar who specialized in compiling the history of the country and the emperor.

Wan Jun walked up to Shangguan Xiu, and with just a glance, he could be sure that this person was indeed Shangguan Xiu. As a Taishi, he is familiar with every grass and tree in the Wind Country, but anyone who is a little famous in the Wind Country, Wan Jun knows it well.

He bowed to Shangguan Xiu and said, "I don't know that Lord Shangguan is coming, and I will miss it!"

"This senior is ......"

"The old man is too Shi Wanjun. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Wan. Shangguan Xiu returned the salute, without any extra nonsense, he went straight to the point and asked, "May I ask Lord Wan, can Miss Gu Qingling Gu be in the Taixue Pavilion?"

"Lord Shangguan wants to see Miss Gu?"

"Yes!" Seeing Wan Jun's suspicious face, Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "She is my fiancée." ”

"Huh?" Wan Jun was taken aback, and hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Lord Shangguan, please come inside." ”

"Lord Wan, please. ”

Under the guidance of Wan Jun, Shangguan Xiu and others walked into the Taixue Pavilion.

The environment of Taixue Pavilion is very quiet, there are a lot of flowers and plants planted in it, artificial rockeries can be seen everywhere, there are two small lakes dug artificially inside, there are pavilions built in the lake, beautiful.

Wan Jun walked inside with Shangguan Xiu and introduced: "Miss Gu's family has suddenly suffered such a big change, and the blow she has received is really too great. ”

"Is Qing Ling injured?" Shangguan Xiu asked nervously.

"Although he is not injured, but, alas!" Wan Jun sighed and shook his head helplessly. Just looking at his expression, you can know that Gu Qingling's current situation is very bad. Shangguan Xiu was even more anxious, and he couldn't wait for his son to fly to Gu Qingling's side.

In the depths of the Taixue Pavilion, everyone came to an antique wooden attic, and Wan Jun said, "Miss Gu lives in it, old man...... I won't accompany Lord Shangguan in. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wan!" Shangguan Xiu arched his hand to Wan Jun, and then strode into the attic. There were only two little maids on the first floor, and under the guidance of the maids, Shangguan Xiu went up to the second floor and finally met Gu Qingling, who he had been thinking about for a long time these days.

When I first saw her, Shangguan Xiu almost couldn't recognize her, and the whole person was so haggard that she couldn't look like her, and she was already so thin that she was out of shape. She sat there, not feeling the slightest hint of anger on her pale little face, as if she might die at any moment.

Shangguan Xiu looked at her intently, as if his heart had been cut by a knife. He walked forward slowly, came to Gu Qingling's side, and said quietly, "Qingling, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Gu Qingling, who was sitting on the windowsill, didn't move, as if she hadn't heard his words, her eyes looked out of the window blankly, she was here, but her heart didn't know where it flew.

"Qingling, yes...... It's me!" Shangguan Xiu bent over and gently held her shoulder.

Feeling his touch, Gu Qingling turned his head mechanically, and looked at Shangguan Xiu with empty eyes. Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but she didn't say a word.

Shangguan Xiu couldn't help it anymore, took Gu Qingling into his arms, hugged her with both arms, and whispered in her ear at the same time: "It's okay, it's okay now, I'm here to ......" He didn't dare to hug too hard, Gu Qingling was as fragile as an epiphany.

Being held by Shangguan Xiu, Gu Qingling's little face was attached to his shoulder, feeling the warmth on his body, smelling the familiar breath on his body, I don't know how long it took, bean-sized tears flowed out of her eyes, and her two small hands also tightly grasped Shangguan Xiu's clothes.

Seeing this, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Zhao Chen, and Fan Tianyu, who were standing outside the door, glanced at each other and walked to the attic with interest.

"It's so pitiful, Miss Gu is so pitiful. Wu Yufei shook her head and muttered, seeing that the whole door was killed, she didn't dare to imagine how Gu Qingling, who was on the spot, felt at that time.

She gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Who did this? If you find him out, you will be cut by a thousand knives!"

Xiao Jue patted her on the shoulder and comforted her silently. Zhao Chen frowned, bowed his head and said nothing, as far as the clues he had so far, there was no way to deduce who the real culprit was behind the scenes.

Fan Tianyu calmly analyzed: "The people who have seen the real murderer, except for Miss Gu, are the two mysterious people who saved Miss Gu. ”

"Ah Xiu...... ......"They were talking, and Gu Qingling's hoarse cry suddenly came from upstairs. Zhao Chen sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's good to cry, it's good to cry, it's not bad for people to cry, people are suffocated......"

Listening to the intermittent miserable and desolate cry upstairs, everyone was in a bad mood, and they turned their heads to look at the garden outside the building one by one, and they stopped talking.

I don't know how long it took, the crying upstairs subsided, and with the slight sound of footsteps, Shangguan Xiu came from upstairs.

His coat was gone, and his shoulders and chest were still wet. He walked up to Xiao Jue and the others, and explained in a low voice: "You go and inform Lord Wan to see if we can live in Taixue Pavilion tonight." ”

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue nodded in response.

"Also, let the kitchen prepare some light porridge and vegetables. ”

"Yes. ”

"Go ahead. ”

"Brother Xiu, Miss Gu, she ......"

"She's asleep, and I have to go back to her now. Shangguan Xiu finished explaining and walked back to the second floor. Looking at Gu Qingling lying on the bed, even if he was asleep, his two little hands were still clutching his coat, Shangguan Xiu couldn't imagine the fright and blow she received at that time.

He walked lightly, walked to the bed, gently picked up his coat, slowly put it on his body, and then slowly lay down beside Gu Qingling, hugging her gently.

He wouldn't leave Gu Qingling alone in Yuzhen, he wanted to take her back to Zhenjun, back to the place where he would never dare to hurt her again.

He will marry her, let her be his rightful wife, and take care of her for the rest of his life. It's not just out of responsibility, it's a real feeling from his heart.

The arrival of Shangguan Xiu reopened Gu Qingling's originally closed heart door. However, when she heard Shangguan Xiu say that she would take her to Zhenjun, Gu Qingling did not agree, she insisted on staying in Yuzhen, staying in this place where she was born and raised, there are not only all the memories of her since she was a child, but also the responsibility that she can't shirk, that is, the huge business of the Gu family.

Wan Jun was not bad, and agreed that Shangguan Xiu and the others could stay in Taixue Pavilion. Shangguan Xiu stayed here for three days, and during these three days, he stayed by Gu Qingling's side all the time, taking care of her daily life, and he didn't say a word about the tragedy that happened that night.

He understood that every mention of that night's events was a heavy blow to Gu Qingling, and now she couldn't withstand any more blows.
