Chapter 357: Loyal Servants in the Back Alley
Therefore, she made up a "mystery" left by Jiang Xun to test Tao Ran.
If Tao Ran is related to the person behind the scenes, then someone will soon come to her to "steal" the evidence.
Although Gu Shiwei didn't say it, Han Shiyan also understood what she meant, but his heart was a little messy at this time.
Tao Ran doesn't matter if it's right or evil, at least what he said, Jiang Xun's teacher is Han Jingyan's father, it's true. Because this kind of information is very easy to verify, people with a lack of braincase will come with their mouths open.
Combined with Han Jingyan's passive handling of the case, and the world of his father's ......
He couldn't help but be suspicious of the Han family.
Although the Han family is not as good as Mrs. Wang Yushi, the family has a deep heritage, and there is no need to steal any tax silver! The eldest uncle is already a very popular minister, why did he instruct Li Changxing to assassinate the official's family?
Could it be that they quietly stood in line and also had the heart to win the heir?
Han Shiyan pursed his lips and looked at Gu Shiwei on the side.
If the eldest uncle or even the entire Han family is the murderer of Gu Younian, then how should he get along with Gu Shiwei in the future? Just thinking about it, Han Shiyan felt that his heart began to ache one by one.
"Gu ......"
Halfway through Han Shiyan's words, he heard movement in the back garden.
"You old thing, you really think that your son is an old lady when he becomes an official. He is a general, and we are still mud legs in the countryside of Suzhou. That little cub forgot Ben, and dared to scare the old lady with death, why did you stop me and prevent me from beating him to death with a mallet! β
"What do you think you're doing with your promises? Three sticks can't hit a fart, why didn't you cry when your son died before? β
"Then Jiang Xun died, and the old man Jiang was crying so much, he sent his father to wear linen and filial piety for his son. You're a good old thing, you haven't moved for a long time. Don't you think that when your son dies, no one will be able to control you, and you will go out and steal people! β
"What are you still doing? Don't water it quickly. What's good in this capital, it doesn't rain, and the dishes will die dry! β
Gu Shiwei ate the pear paste candy, pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside, and after a long while, a slow voice sounded, "I'm not thinking, is our Fugu Village being damaged Feng Shui, and the white-haired people are sending the black-haired people." β
"Ahh Crow's beak! My son is doing well! You old thing! β
Gu Shiwei listened, without words, and his breathing was a little weaker.
The two of them could clearly hear the sound of splashing water through the courtyard wall, and when the voices inside gradually moved away, the small black corner door opened.
The Wang steward of the Tao Mansion poked his head and looked around vigilantly, seeing Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan, his serious face suddenly had an expression.
His lips trembled, and he walked up to Gu Shiwei, "Master Gu, come with the villain." β
Gu Shiwei nodded, and the steward Wang trotted towards the depths of the back alley, and when he arrived at a gate locked with a lock, he took out the key and opened the door.
It's a small, ordinary courtyard covered with thick foliage, and it looks like it hasn't been inhabited for years.
There were so many holes in the paper on the windows that no one had repaired.
The steward Wang glanced at the small courtyard with some nostalgia, and bowed deeply to Gu Shiwei.
"Since Master Gu is waiting for me at the corner gate of the backyard, he must have recognized the old slave. Three years ago, at Mrs. Wang's birthday banquet, I sent your lord out of this corner gate, and your carriage stopped in the back alley......"
"I didn't expect that after three years, things are not people......"
He sniffed as he spoke, wiped his eyes again, and looked at Gu Shiwei excitedly, "Ever since Lord Gu entered the Imperial City Division, the old slave has been waiting. Waiting for the day when we heard that the Sparrow case was re-investigated. Waiting for the day when Lord Gu and my family lord will clear their grievances......"
"The old slave has no ability, and there is no way to avenge the adult. I can only find a way to return to this mansion and guard it for the adults. β
"I think that one day, Mrs. Zhujun and Xiaolangjun will be able to come back......"
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and looked at Gu Shiwei with sparkling eyes, "I heard that adults have adopted a child named Jing ...... The child had a leg problem that was not good for him...... The kid ......."
Gu Shiwei nodded at Steward Wang.
The butler shook his body and covered his mouth, his gaze was extraordinarily firm, and his voice was even quieter.
"Good, good! The old slave finally didn't wait in vain, the old slave still has to watch our Brother Jing marry a wife and have children......" he said, wiping his eyes, "The lord has great kindness to my Wang family, and the old slave is unable to repay him with this life." β
"My lord came to the door today to ask Tao Ran, but Tao Ran has something to do with the Flying Sparrow case? If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, the old slave must know everything. β
Gu Shiwei didn't hesitate, "Is that Tao Ran's temperament like this on weekdays?" And that fake death pill? β
Steward Wang nodded, "That's true, Lord Tao is a little out of tune on weekdays. He is a native of Fugu Village, Suzhou, and his ancestors have been farmers for eight generations, and his family is poor. After entering Bianjing, he was worried that his family would make jokes, so he looked for people and bought some servants released by rich and noble families in the past. β
"I am the house he entered after entering the front division of the palace. I was shocked the first time I saw him take this medicine, but they were very calm. β
"Today is the longest time he has held his breath, and he has not woken up, so Mrs. asked me to arrange the ......"
Gu Shiwei was not surprised, they were officials in the same dynasty, although they had not dealt with Tao Ran before, but he knew what kind of character he was as soon as he inquired.
"Does Tao Ran have any close backers, or people he respects? Or is there any person who has a close relationship with the high-ranking people? β
Steward Wang thought for a while, "The main ones are some palace leaders and old acquaintances on Caoyun, and they are basically military attachΓ©s. However, Mrs. Wang's Yuan family has a good background, she is a distant cousin of Lu Guogong, and her father was also born in Jinshi, and now she is not in Beijing. β
"Mrs. Wang often goes to the lady's flower party, and the person who is better with her is Mrs. Li from Jiubai Lane, and the other is Mrs. Qiu from the fourth room of the Han family, and they are handkerchiefs in the boudoir."
Gu Shiwei listened, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, good guy! What good guys!
Are the ladies in this Bianjing City all spiders and spirits? Any one can rip out a bunch of acquaintances!
The Han family has a big business, and Gu Shiwei, the wife of the fourth room of the Han family, naturally doesn't recognize it, but when she looks at Han Shiyan's unkind face, she knows that the Han family in the fourth room of the Han family should be his family.
As for Mrs. Li in Jiubai Lane, she couldn't be more familiar.
Her friend Li Mingfang's mother is Mrs. Li of Jiubai Lane.
