Wei Yuanchen sat in the main hall of the Gu family and picked up the tea on the table.

Removing the small cover bell, there is clear tea soup inside.

Wei Yuanchen took a sip and carefully remembered the reason why Marquis Huaiyuan was sent to Shanxi.

Marquis Huaiyuan was impeached by the Censor for selling horse manure in Taipu Temple for privately selling horse manure. Marquis Huaiyuan not only refused to plead guilty but also talked freely. Horse manure should not be wasted. The high-ranking and noble farmer needs to pour manure every year. It is better to send someone to take it away. In this way, the court will lose the trouble of disposing of horse manure and can also use this money to fill the national treasury.

This Huaiyuan Marquis had previously fought in the northwest with "free blood" and now he has come up with such a bad idea to bring horse manure to the court. The censor believed that Huaiyuan Marquis' actions were indeed a disgrace to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, even though Mr. Huaiyuan did not have the money to sell horse manure, he was sent by the emperor to visit Taipu Temple in Shanxi. The court still spread the jokes of this down-and-out nobleman, saying that Mr. Huaiyuan could not fight, but he knew the color of the horse's fur and mouth. If he went on a war in the future, it would be better to let him manage the military and horses, and he might as well make a fortune for military supplies.

After the Marquis Huaiyuan arrived in Shanxi, he seemed to be devoted to raising horses. The next day there was a memorial praising how powerful he was. He bred many good horses for the Great Zhou Dynasty and asked the court to read the horses. The emperor refused to approve it. Marquis Huaiyuan never tire of delivering the memorial and presented the name of the horses to the emperor for preview, and wanted to bring these war horses of excellent bloodline into the capital.

The emperor was disturbed by the Marquis of Huaiyuan and simply agreed to the Marquis of Huaiyuan. So the Marquis of Huaiyuan carefully counted the number of war horses in Shanxi, waiting for Taipu Temple, the Ministry of War and the officials of the Ministry of Lishui.

At this moment, the court's war horse was stolen, and the case alarmed the court.

Now, it seems to him that the war horses were probably not stolen, but that there were not so many war horses at all. Just like Ao Cang was burned seven years ago, who knows how much food was there? Such actions are just to cover up.

Marquis Huaiyuan accidentally uncovered the curtain of the Shanxi case.

When he came to Taiyuan Prefecture from the capital, Wei Yuanchen suspected that Huaiyuan Hou was not as stupid as it appeared. After discovering the strangeness of the Gu family, he became more and more sure of this.

However, Marquis Huaiyuan was far away in the capital at this time. Mrs. Lin seemed to know nothing about the inside story, and the Gu family had no aides. Mr., who was the person who helped Marquis Huaiyuan take charge of the overall situation?

Think about what Nie Chen and Liu Su said. Liu Su was rescued by the doctor. Nie Chen made the elder pretend to be a "Pearl Thief" to investigate the case that year. All of these happened after Huaiyuan Hou came to Shanxi.

Now the clues of attacking Han Yu's people have also been brought to Miss Gu.

Before, he just suspected Miss Gu, but now he can be sure that she is just pretending to be stupid.

Pearl Thieves?

How can a noble daughter know how to use mandala flowers and sleeve arrows with machine-clad sleeves? Is she any other ability?

The case of "Pearl Thieves" can be investigated, but who did you learn these skills from?

When she first saw her at Jinta Temple, she accidentally tripped on a rope and fell into his arms, as if her hand had touched his waist.

He had a Fu Xin of the Inspector hanging on his waist. Is she intentionally investigating his identity?

Wei Yuanchen's face sank. He didn't realize it until now. Thinking about her holding his legs tightly that day, she didn't know what bad idea was in her mind at that time. If he didn't throw her away, would she take the opportunity to touch her?

If it weren't for the determination that the "Pearl Thief" of that year was dead, he would have been fooled around.

"Master Wei." Mrs. Lin came in and looked at Wei Yuanchen. Maybe he had been busy all night, and Master Wei's face didn't look very good and looked particularly pale.

Wei Yuanchen stood up and saw Mrs. Lin's greeting, and glanced out the door. Miss Gu stood openly at the door and played, obviously being eavesdropping.

This is her family, and she is not mentally conscious, and everything she does is reasonable.

Wei Yuanchen sat down and accidentally touched the thing in his hand during his movements. It was a small ball woven by bamboo. There were colorful lines and bells tied to the ball. It was something that children like to play with. He bought it on the way he came.

If she wants to be a child, he will buy the items the child likes.

Seeing the bamboo ball rolling to the door, Mrs. Lin didn't understand what Lord Wei meant.

"Ms. Gu was frightened at the village, so I bought some small things, hoping that Miss Gu would like it," Wei Yuanchen said, "It's not a valuable thing."

Wei Yuanchen said as he stood up and wanted to pick up the bamboo ball. The pair of embroidered shoes at the door moved over at this time, stepped into the house, and held the bamboo ball in his hand first.

Sure enough, Wei Yuanchen smiled in his heart.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the bamboo ball happily. She was standing at the door just now and must have been noticed by Lord Wei. She was a kid who likes to play. How could she not be moved when she saw such fancy toys? In order to avoid being suspected by Lord Wei, she had to pick it up.

However, this also gave her a reason, so that she could walk into the house naturally and sit on a chair and listen to Lord Wei talk to her mother.

Gu Mingzhu walked to Mrs. Lin and sat down, and began to play with bamboo balls with concentration. The little bell made a crisp sound under her fiddling.

Wei Yuanchen looked natural, and his eyes seemed to have not stopped at Gu Mingzhu. He looked straight at Mrs. Lin: "Han Yu confessed that he had put the income from years of greed into the outside house. I took people to search for some silver, which was far less than the income from Tieshan Mine in the past seven years.

Now it seems that the money, iron tools and war horses should be in the same place."

The war horse case is what Mrs. Lin cares about the most, and it is also news that Miss Gu doesn't want to miss.

Mrs. Lin frowned and thought for a moment and didn't know how to speak.

Wei Yuanchen said: "Madam, you must have heard that Shanxi is the place for the prince, and Han Yu, the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, is probably the prince's person."

Mrs. Lin nodded: "There is such a guess."

Wei Yuanchen continued: "Han Yu has an account outside the house, which clearly remembers the filial piety of sending him to the Prince's Mansion every year. The prince has made Han Yu make money in Shanxi, but iron tools and troops are not necessarily what the prince wants. As the crown prince, hiding these things privately will cause the emperor to suspect. The prince is not smart but should not be so stupid. Han Yu may have used his work for the prince, but in fact he plans for others."

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips and said without hesitation: The prince is not smart, I am afraid that Lord Wei is the only one, but what Lord Wei said makes sense. Han Yu did this not only to be able to do things under the protection of the prince, but also to push the prince when he exposed his feet.

Mrs. Lin understood: "Mr. Wei means, is there someone else behind Han Yu?" The prince of this dynasty has been fighting for the position of crown prince openly and secretly, but I don't know which prince is doing this. After Lord Wei reminded them, they must be more careful and must not get involved.

As he was talking, Chujiu stepped forward and reported: "San Master, there is news in the capital..."

Wei Yuanchen did not ask Chujiu to finish his words. Chujiu handed over a note. Wei Yuanchen glanced at it and put it into his waist.
