Qin Xian 'er nodded. "Other than them, who else has the ability to gather so many scholars in one night? Don't forget, Mister Gu Shunzhang is the world-famous teacher of the emperor. Even Father has to bow to him. "
Teacher of the emperor? Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. As the teacher of the emperor, how could Old Master Gu not judge the situation and go against his own student? He snorted and asked the person who had spoken just now, "What are you doing in the Gu family? Did Old Master Gu Shunzhang send you?"
"We are the guards of the Gu family. The old master went out to travel and hasn't returned yet. Old Madam heard that something happened to the Young Master, so she sent us to investigate, "the person answered hurriedly.
Old Madam? No wonder. Lin Wanrong nodded and said casually, "Your old madam is quite scheming. She can come up with such a brilliant idea of besieging the Lin Mansion in one night. I really admire her. Hehe, is there any expert helping her to come up with the idea?! "
"We don't know." Seeing Official Lin's fake smile and fierce look, the person was so scared that he hurriedly kowtowed. "We are only servants in the family. We really don't know what you are asking."
These two people were also working for others, so their knowledge was limited. Lin Wanrong was too lazy to ask any more questions. She had Si De call over the two bodyguards hidden in the dark and took them away.
"What should we do now, husband? Should we go to the Gu family and settle the score with the old lady? "Miss Qin 'er was impatient. Once she heard that the Gu family had instigated people to cause trouble, she wanted to go there.
"Settle the score? Settle what score? " Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled. "With just these two people, you can confiscate the house of your father's teacher? Isn't that a joke? "
Qin Xian 'er thought about it and also felt that she was too reckless. Gu Shunzhang was the famous teacher of the emperor, and even her father didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him. Who would dare to confiscate his house?
"Then what should we do?" Miss Qin snorted and said in an aggrieved tone, "We can't beat them, and we can't kill them either. Are we just going to let these people surround our house?"
"Don't worry," Lin Wanrong held her hand and said with a smile, "These people are just a motley crew, they won't be able to cause any waves. What's more important is the person hiding behind us! "
"You mean King Cheng?!" Seeing Official Lin's treacherous smile, Miss Qin was instantly delighted, "Husband, can you really catch him?!"
Official Lin stroked her small hand and laughed lewdly. He didn't say yes or no. Miss Qin knew her husband's personality. He wouldn't say anything he wasn't sure of. He calmed down and did not ask any more questions.
Qin Xian 'er found a soft sedan chair and the two of them sat inside. After traveling for a while, they left the scholars behind them far behind. Seeing her husband continuously poking his head out to look around while the small sedan twisted and turned in the alley, Qin Xian 'er was also confused, "Husband, what are you looking at? Where are we going? "
Official Lin smiled mysteriously and didn't answer. Just as Miss Qin was puzzled, the sedan chair stopped. The sedan bearer at the front turned around and said respectfully in a low voice, "Daren, we've arrived."
We've arrived? Qin Xian 'er moved with light steps and slowly got off the sedan chair. She looked around a few times. She was greatly shocked. The place where the two of them were standing was a narrow alley. Even though it was daytime, the light was very dim. On the opposite side of the alley was an extremely large residence that seemed to take up several hundred mu of land. A pair of stone lions stood proudly at the entrance. There was only half a red lacquered door left and it swayed as if it was going to fall. The jade buildings and jade pavilions in the residence stretched as far as the eye could see. The roof beams were all pitch black. A few of the larger pavilions had been burnt to the point that only the skeletons were left. The smell of sulfur and smoke filled the air, choking people's noses. This residence was in ruins and dilapidated. Only the gold bricks and jade roofs that were faintly visible showed the past prosperity and splendor.
"Husband, why did you come back to the wang fu?" Qin Xian 'er looked at him in puzzlement. As it turned out, the small sedan that the two of them had sat in had swayed and returned to the small alley opposite Cheng Wang Fu. Seeing the formerly prosperous wang fu fall overnight, while Qin Xian 'er sighed, she naturally felt it was strange.
"I'm not sure." Lin Wanrong spread his hands helplessly and pointed at the person walking in the distance, "It's this boy who called me over."
The muscular man walking in the distance was tall and sturdy. His footsteps were hurried. When he saw the two of them, he instantly knelt in joy, "This lowly officer Gao Qiu greets Princess Ni Shang and Official Lin."
Gao Qiu's clothes were disheveled, his beard bristling, his eyes bloodshot like he hadn't slept at all last night. Lin Wanrong snickered, "Don't give me these fake friendships. Brother Gao, you've worked hard."
Qin Xian 'er thought of what her husband had said before they left the fu and instantly understood. She pulled Lin Wanrong and asked, "Husband, what did you send Gao Qiu to do? Why did we end up back at the wang fu?"
"You'll have to ask Brother Gao. I'm the same as you, completely confused." Lin Wanrong smiled and shrugged, his expression also somewhat puzzled.
"Commander Gao, what's going on?" Qin Xian 'er turned her gaze to Gao Qiu, her tone unconsciously taking on some authority.
Gao Qiu was still somewhat afraid of this witch princess. He hurriedly cupped his hands and reported, "Princess, this matter has to start from last night. Last night, this lowly official received orders from Lin daren to sneak into the wang fu. I wanted to find some evidence and investigate the situation. Who knew that the courtyard of the wang fu was too big and this lowly official got lost inside. I don't know how, but I saw the courtyard of the wang fu on fire — — Oh, Princess, you have to believe this lowly official. I really didn't light the fire. Lin daren can testify for this lowly official … "
"En, I can testify." Lin daren's face was full of righteousness as he said sternly, "With Brother Gao's personality, he can even rape and pillage. He could even rape and pillage, but low-level things like arson were not worthy of his attention. It must have been a good man who couldn't stand King Cheng's evil actions and set the fire in anger. It has nothing to do with Brother Gao. "
Miss Qin didn't know what was going on. Seeing her husband and Gao Qiu giving false testimony, she couldn't help but giggle. She couldn't help but giggle. "Commander Gao, the weather is dry. It's inevitable to lose a candle. I don't care about such a small matter. Just pick the important ones to say. "
As expected from husband and wife. Even the way they spoke was eighty percent similar to Brother Lin's. Gao Qiu laughed and smiled, "Thank you Princess for your understanding, this lowly official is grateful. Speaking of which, last night the wang fu caught fire. This lowly official walked around the wang fu and tried his best to put out the fire. Afterwards, I personally saw Princess and Lin daren show their might, instantly subduing hundreds of guards. Princess is benevolent and kind. You also personally released all these people who broke the rules. Such magnanimity moved the heavens, shocking the gods and ghosts. This lowly official and the brothers under me respect you greatly. "
"Brother Gao, just pick the important ones to say. Brother, I still have a broken leg. I really can't listen to your Dragon's Gate Formation. "This time even Lin daren couldn't stand his flattery, smiling as he interrupted his words.
"Yes, yes." Gao Qiu's face flushed red as he replied. His expression slowly became serious, "After Princess released those dozens of guards, my brothers and I received orders from Lin daren to secretly follow behind these people …"
Qin Xian 'er was stunned. Then, she thought back to how her husband told her to release the guards. She instantly clapped her hands in distress, "Aiya, why didn't I think of that idea?! I was wondering why Husband suddenly became so magnanimous. So it was because the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. "
What kind of words were those? Was she not magnanimous usually? Lin daren was helpless. Qin Xian 'er looked at him in delight and then said to Gao Qiu, "Quickly continue. What else did Husband tell you? He really has many tricks up his sleeves. "
"Yes. My brothers and I split into several groups to follow the guards of the wang fu that were released by the princess to investigate their tracks. They chased. Out of the dozens of people, most of them listened to Princess's instructions. They turned over a new leaf and directly went away … "
Qin Xian 'er nodded her head and smiled, "So, there are exceptions?!"
"That's right. Princess is really smart, I really admire you!" Gao Qiu bowed and started to suck up to her.
"Husband, look." Qin Xian 'er smiled as she rolled her eyes at Lin daren, "These people followed you and didn't learn much else. Their sucking up skills were all taught to them by you."
"I am ashamed, I am ashamed. Princess is praising me too much." Gao Qiu said sincerely, "How can the light of a firefly compete with the moon? My small skills can't even compare to one ten-thousandth of Lin Daren's. It is all because of his teachings … "
"What teachings." Lin Daren couldn't take it anymore and scoffed, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't play around. What kind of exceptions are you talking about? Tell me honestly. "
"Yes, yes." Gao Qiu smiled flatteringly and said, "I've been through a lot of hardships, wandering for a day and a night without a good night's sleep. I only ate ten steamed buns along the way, and I've been following behind the two of them the whole time. Finally, my hard work pays off, and I've found something."
This old kid didn't suck up to him and instead praised himself like a flower. Lin Daren was totally speechless. Xian 'er smiled and said, "Commander Gao, as long as you handle this matter well, this consort will definitely report to Imperial Father and grant you a great merit. Quickly tell me what you found out. "
"I don't ask for rewards, I just want to protect the Emperor forever. Long live the Emperor. " Gao Qiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before he stood up and looked around. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I've been following two of them. These two brats are very vigilant. They've been walking and stopping along the way, and they've been circling around to see if anyone's following them. Luckily, I am skilled and daring. I am also quick-witted and didn't let them notice me. When it was noon today, I made a shocking discovery. The two of them went in circles and returned to the Wang Manor … "
Damn, after listening to Old Gao brag for so long, this last sentence was the most important. Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, "Returned to the Wang Manor? Then where are they, where are they now?! "
"That's where the weird thing happened." Gao Qiu frowned, his face filled with confusion, "Once they returned to the Wang Manor, I didn't dare to be careless and immediately sent people to invite Brother Lin. What I don't understand is that after the two of them entered the Wang Manor, they disappeared without a trace and couldn't be found anymore. "
"Disappeared?!" Lin Wanrong said in shock, "Did they run from another path?!"
Gao Qiu shook his head solemnly, "We have eyes all around. Even if they grow wings. It's impossible for them to escape under our eyes. "
Gao Qiu said it so confidently. When he followed them, their tracks hadn't been exposed. There was no reason for the two of them to escape. But why did they disappear after entering the Wang Manor? Lin Wanrong gave a long sigh, his brows tightly furrowed. He leaned back on the wheelchair and started to think.
Qin Xian 'er also knew that this was a crucial time. She didn't dare to interrupt Lin Wanrong's train of thought. She reached out a small hand and started to massage his shoulder.
Lin Daren gave a comfortable hum and patted Xian 'er's small hand. He slowly opened his eyes, a light shooting out, "Gao Dage, have you carefully searched the inside and outside of the Wang Manor? Are there any tunnels or secret rooms? "
Gao Qiu hurriedly shook his head, "At the start, this lowly official also thought so. Cheng Wang used the tunnels to escape from Xiang Guo Temple so I paid special attention. But, during the chaos last night, we have searched the inside and outside of the Wang Manor. We have already searched three times. The house, the boudoir, the garden, the kitchen, any place that we could stay, we didn't miss a single one. Who would have thought that this Wang Manor is so clean and clean. We didn't even see an entrance to a secret room. There isn't a single flaw. It really is puzzling. "
There wasn't a single flaw? That was too strange! Lin Wanrong sneered coldly, "If there really isn't a single flaw, then that would be the biggest flaw! Gao Dage, immediately organize people to search again. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find those two people. "
Gao Qiu made a sound of acknowledgment and then asked in confusion, "Lin Xiongdi, are these two guards so important that you have to mobilize so many people?!"
"It's not that they are important — —" Lin Daren closed his eyes in thought and snickered coldly, "— — but the person hiding behind them — — Gao Dage, you have to finish this matter. If my guess isn't wrong, the big fish that we are looking for is hiding in the Wang Manor. "
"What?!" Qin Xian 'er and Gao Qiu exclaimed at the same time.
