C53 (2/2)

She wouldn't let Yun Qianliang have her way just like that. It wouldn't be that easy to win against her.

At this time, Wen Meng's heart was already filled with killing intent towards the person in front of her who was a threat to her, but it was not suitable for him to do anything.

”Alright, I'll meet you tomorrow evening at the temple near the murder case. I'll give you five hundred silver.” Wen Meng let out a relaxed breath, his tone slightly softened, and agreed to the other party's unreasonable request.

”Don't try any tricks.” Shi Yong unconfidently revealed a stern expression.

”I'm just a weak girl. Are you afraid of me?” Wen Meng scoffed at him, purposely provoking him.

”It's a deal.” Shi Yong said cautiously.

Wen Meng nodded and left Shi Yong's residence. As if he had arrived before, he left the eastern side street in a low voice, met up with the servants and servants that went out to purchase, and returned to Gu Xiangfu together.

Gu Shisan looked at Wen Meng and asked the people of Zheng'an Pawnshop to keep their eyes on Shi Yong, in case she ran away, he went back to report.

Wen Meng's personality was untouchable, Shi Yong's existence was a threat to her, and she would probably not leave anyone alive. Especially after she reminded him, Wen Meng wanted to beat her a little, and would definitely kill her to silence her.

”This subordinate understands.”

Gu Shisan had secretly captured and imprisoned them in the dungeon of the Suburban Courtyard. On that day, he personally interrogated them and those who were about to arrive in the Zheng'an Pawnshop were sent to the Gu Xiangfu as guards and sent into the Green Pine Academy. All of them were sent to the for Yun Qianliang's orders, but Yun Qianliang had selected seven of them to be assigned to the various courtyard guards.

The next day, he received a report regarding his investigation of Song Shujin's trip.

”Jin Wang is cautious, it is difficult to find his whereabouts, this subordinate only received some information. Jin Wang will meet with Second Miss Yun at Qu Jiang Hu recently, and will even leave the capital once, but we do not know whether this information is true or not.” Gu Shisi told them all the information he obtained from his investigations, ”This subordinate wants Gu San to help me take note of this, I hope there will be a result.”

”I know.” Yun Qianliang played with the wood in his hands attentively, but after hearing the report he did not have much of a reaction.

Then, Gu Shisan came back from the outside with a cold aura.

”Madam, that Shi Yong is a person who refuses to listen to words no matter how hard he is forced to do it. He refused to speak a single word, and when he knew that we need him to testify, he became even more confident and kept quiet?” After the two nodded as a form of greeting, Gu Shisan bowed and reported back.

”What a hard bone.” Yun Qianliang put down the carving knife in her hand and placed the wood to the side. She raised her eyes and said: ”Don't worry, don't let him die.

”Then the Jing Zhao Mansion …” Gu Shisan asked.

”Go to the Jing Zhao Mansion and tell them the truth. Tell them it is related to the Gu Xiangfu and I need to personally interrogate them before I can hand them over.” Yun Qianliang paused for a moment, then continued: If Master Zhao is in a difficult situation, tell him, he can let the citizens know that the criminals have been caught, but the criminals still have a few unsolved cases in their hands, they need to investigate thoroughly, and when that time comes, they will be convicted, so they can give the citizens an explanation, and that way, he will have a good reputation, and will not insist on having people.

Gu Shisan asked: ”Are we still going to investigate the suspense?”

Yun Qianliang shook her head, she did not say the details, ”Just hand over the information in our hands, and the rest can be left to the Jing Zhao Mansion to busy themselves, so that they will not have the time to ask for more.”

Just like when Gu Shisan came, his lightness skills silently left the Green Pine Academy without alerting anyone else in the manor.

When Thirteen left, the Gu San that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared.

Since that day when Gu Yicheng and his room had parted on bad terms, Gu Yicheng had never been seen in Green Pine Academy. Candles occasionally lit up in Qing Hu Tong, and it was only Steward Gu who went to the study room to retrieve the items for Master, before leaving after.

Yun Qianliang had been very busy recently, he did not have the mind to care about him, nor did he want to care about where Gu Yicheng went.

”Madam, Master asked me to tell you that the Emperor has sent the Jin Wang to the Tan Yue City to conduct a private tax investigation, and he will be leaving soon.” The Gu San spoke concisely and went straight to the point.

”Fourteen, go investigate everything that has happened in Tan Yue City recently. There are no details, I want to know everything.” Yun Qianliang immediately responded the moment he finished speaking. It was obvious that he had been waiting for this news.

Gu Shisi accepted the order and did not stay too long in the Cloud Water Pavilion. Since there were many guards in the shadows in the Green Pine Academy, with Yun Qianliang's safety guaranteed, he could safely leave and do things.

When only Yun Qianliang and his servant were left in the room, Gu San asked a question that he shouldn't have interfered in.

”Has Madame and the Lord Prime Minister quarrelled?”
