At night, Guo Rongxi invited a few elders of the Guo family to come over, and the main courtyard of the Guo family was brightly lit.

The things that Mrs. Xie told him when she returned home were too shocking, Guo Rongxi was angry and angry, and even Guo Sheng, who was tied up, was beaten and his nose was swollen.

Yun Jinchu sat on the rattan chair in the pavilion in the courtyard where the Guo family had placed them, and Sang Ye squatted on the edge of the pool next to him, staring at the carp in the pool.

The night wind was a little cold in the autumn weather, and Mo Xuanchen took the cloak and landed on her: "Be careful of catching a cold." ”

Yun Jinchu looked up at him, obviously from the angle of death, looking at the person from the bottom up, there was only a big face left, but the moonlight was hazy to cover Mo Xuanchen's face after his disguise, and the slender neck and tall figure were so good-looking that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"I don't know what's going on with the Guo family." Yun Jinchu tugged at the cloak on his body.

Mo Xuanchen sat beside her: "Zhu Qi has already gone to explore, and he should be back soon." ”

Yun Jinchu also believed that it was not difficult for Zhu Qi's ability to probe the Guo family, she turned her head sideways and asked him: "You asked Xiahou Yu to take someone to find out the news in the city, will it alarm the Guo family?" ”

"What about the alarm."

Mo Xuanchen leaned back lazily following her example, "When Mrs. Xie comes back, Guo Rongxi will naturally know about the affairs in Beijing, and the news of the account book came from their Guo family, and it is good to say that Guo Sheng accidentally learned about it, but if it is not good, it is to collude with the four princes and the Zhennan Palace." ”

"The former lady of the Xie family can't hide her words, do you think Emperor Jing won't send someone to track down the account books after seeing her in private last time? He didn't find out about southern Hebei because the news was incomplete and we deliberately covered it up, but the news came back from Guangning Mansion before, and Jin Linwei and Yingwei had already gone to the palace over there. ”

The matter between the four princes and Rong Xian was exposed too coincidentally, how could Emperor Jing not be suspicious.

After Mrs. Xie replied in the palace last time, Emperor Jing later summoned Mrs. Xie alone once again and asked about the account book, but because they had already confessed, and Mrs. Xie was also afraid that the Guo family and herself would be implicated, so she bit her nephew Guo Sheng to death and did not confess to her.

But the Guo family doesn't know about it.

The four princes were imprisoned, and Emperor Jing severely punished them.

The news of his collusion with the king of Zhennan to smuggle forbidden goods spread all over the world, and the account book was known to everyone.

Mo Xuanchen lay on the rattan chair and said softly: "Guo Rongxi is afraid that it will be too late to be frightened at this time, even if he notices that someone is inquiring in the city, as long as he does not directly find the Guo family, he will only think that it is the court or His Majesty's people, he is too late to avoid suspicion, how dare he come forward to investigate." ”

"That's right."

Yun Jinchu thought about it, the ledger is now a hot potato, whoever touches it will die.

The night breeze is cool, the osmanthus tree in the courtyard is blown to the rustle, the fragrance permeates the whole courtyard, the yellow and clear tree by tree, under the moonlight to look quite good.

Yun Jinchu leaned on the rattan chair and chatted with Mo Xuanchen, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the mulberry leaf "black hand" towards the carp in the pool, grabbed the carp's gills and dragged it outward, she grabbed the pine nut and smashed it lightly in front of her, splashing a trace of water.

"Don't laugh at other people's fish, this fish is not delicious."

"Oh."

Mulberry pouted and threw the fish back into the pool.

There was the sound of footsteps from far and near, and Yun Jinchu turned his head to see Zhu Qi coming from the front of the courtyard.

"The prince, the princess."

"How?"

Zhu Qi said in a low voice: "My subordinates took people to visit the Guo family, and there is nothing unusual about this Guo family, and there is no place where the guards are particularly strict or can be held and imprisoned for a long time. ”

"Tonight, when Guo Rongxi sent someone to invite the elders of the Guo family to come over, he asked Guo Sheng to be tied up, and after he came, he was beaten hard, and threatened to expel Guo Sheng from the Guo family, and the secret guard who monitored said that Guo Rongxi was extremely angry, and the elders of the Guo family were also frightened, and the Guo family seemed to really don't know."

Yun Jinchu frowned: "Where is Mrs. Xie?" ”

"She was guarded by Guo Rongxi, and Mrs. Guo asked her about the affairs in Beijing, obviously suspicious of her words, but the princess had already explained, and Mrs. Xie was also afraid of death, and she didn't dare to say anything that shouldn't be said, what the Guo family knows now is what we let them know."

Zhu Qi is a good hand at finding out the news, and he touched the Guo family in a short time.

Yun Jinchu turned his head to look at Mo Xuanchen.

Mo Xuanchen asked, "What about Guo Sheng?" ”

Zhu Qi said: "I was thrown into the firewood room by Guo Rongxi. ”

Mo Xuanchen frowned: "He didn't confess?" ”

"No, he only said that he learned the news by chance, and in order to sell well with the Xie family and get close to Mrs. Xie, he sent the news to Beijing."

Zhu Qi said in a low voice, "At that time, there were many people in the main courtyard of the Guo family, and there were people guarding outside, and the secret guard only heard this, and Guo Sheng looked at it as a wine bag and rice bag, and fainted crying and screaming after a meal, thinking that he would not lie." ”

Yun Jinchu sat up: "If you can't lie, it doesn't mean that there is no problem." ”

"This world is so big, how can the people of the Guo family hear the news of the account book, and this person is still close to the daughter of the Guo family who married into the Xie family and even married the Song family?"

In another person, this news will not reach the capital, and the Xie family will not find the Song family to find her.

Even if this Guo Sheng really learned the news by chance, the person who sent him this "accident" must have done it on purpose.

Yun Jinchu said in a deep voice: "Zhu Qi, you ask people to go to Guo Sheng's mansion and search for anything available." ”

"Yes."

She turned her head to look at Mo Xuanchen: "Let's go meet Guo Sheng." ”

Mo Xuanchen nodded: "Okay." ”

……

Guo Rongxi and the Guo family were always caught off guard by the news brought back by Mrs. Xie, Guo Sheng didn't ask anything after being beaten, and after the person fainted, he was sent to the backyard firewood room and locked up, and there were two tall Guo family servants guarding the door.

It was already nightfall, and tea was brought from the kitchen.

One of the servants had eaten the tea and had a sudden stomachache, so he went to the hut with his stomach covered, while the other leaned against the door and yawned, and after a while a strange smell came, and he suddenly fell to the side.

Zhu Qi sat on the ground with one hand, leaned against the door and looked as if he was asleep from a distance.

"People are in there." Zhu Qi said in a low voice.

Mo Xuanchen and Yun Jinchu pushed the door in, and saw the unconscious man lying on the ground in the messy firewood room by the moonlight shining in from the window.

"It's pretty good to sleep."

Yun Jinchu casually took a wooden stick and threw it towards Guo Sheng's bloody buttocks.

The stick smashed on the wound, and Guo Sheng, who was unconscious, suddenly woke up with a shudder, and he opened his mouth in pain and wanted to scream, but before the scream came out, he was kicked in the jaw by Mo Xuanchen.

The scream instantly turned into a painful snort, and Guo Sheng lay on the ground in a cold sweat.
