Lu Zhiyao and Lu Yuanzheng talked in a low voice about Gu Ran's murder, while Lin Yinan listened and did not express any opinions.
He also knew about this. Gu Ran's head was taken away by Li Muchen. Thinking of the reason why Gu Ran was killed, Lin Yinan felt that it was not so difficult to accept.
"Have so many people already known about this?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Yuanzheng with a puzzled look. "Many people have mentioned it to you?"
If the Gu family is just an ordinary businessman, then forget it, but before the Chu family came to Beijing, the Gu family could be regarded as the best in business in this area of the capital, and they paid a lot of money and materials to the court every year, so
Gu Ran had a pretty good relationship with many court officials, and the Ye family was one of them. Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan often appeared together, and the two of them ate, drank, had fun, and did all kinds of bad things. Lu Yuanzheng's relationship was because of Ye Shengnan
, was pulled together by those talkative ministers to talk about Gu Ran's murder.
Gu Nuochu's death has shocked many people, and now the addition of Gu Ran has made many people look at the Chu family. Some people think that the Chu family did it, and some think that the Chu family did not do it at all.
That was necessary because as early as three months after arriving in the capital, the Chu family's business had already surpassed that of the Gu family.
Lu Yuanzheng casually talked to Lu Zhiyao about what he knew, and occasionally mentioned the Chu family. He never thought about the relationship between the Chu family and the Eighth Emperor's Palace.
Lin Yinan didn't speak, but showed an expression of interest, so Lu Yuanzheng talked all the way until he walked into the study room and talked about serious things with the two of them.
If it weren't for the Chu family, Lu Zhiyao thought, she might never have investigated Gu Ran's death.
Gu Nuochu is Gu Ran's only son. Both of them are dead. Lu Zhiyao is not interested in whose hands the Gu family's business falls. However, many of the Chu family's stores have been investigated by the government again and again.
It had to attract her attention.
This matter was not what Chu Ziqian said. Although Chu Ziqian also had a headache because of this matter, he never thought of solving the matter through Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao and Wan Yue, who were sitting at the window seats to eat, were attracted by the large number of officers and soldiers who suddenly poured in from outside. They looked curiously at the menacing arrival of those people and went straight upstairs. They thought there would be
It was so lively to watch, but after about a quarter of an hour, these people slowly left again.
"I was shocked, I thought they were coming for us." Wan Yue whispered to Lu Zhiyao, glanced at the people passing by the window, frowned, and guessed: "What happened?
"
Lu Zhiyao lowered her head and ate in silence, her ears automatically picking up a few words from nearby diners. When she heard those people say that it had been like this here for the past half month, Lu Zhiyao subconsciously felt that maybe things were not that simple.
Even if Chu Ziqian couldn't save his face and asked himself and Lin Yinan for help, he still wouldn't be able to deal with those people in the Yamen. If these people dare to cause trouble like this, there must be someone behind them. Targeting the Chu family specifically is enough.
It was clear that he was a wanted criminal who came to the court, but no clues could be found here.
After eating, Lu Zhiyao took Wan Yue for a walk on the street. Treating the guards who were following him like nothing, the two of them walked and walked for a while before turning around and heading towards the Eighth Emperor's Mansion.
Encountering the oncoming officers and soldiers, Lu Zhiyao raised his eyes and saw that they were the same ones he had just met in the restaurant.
Lu Zhiyao stopped and watched them go away. After returning to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, he immediately found Lan Ruoling and asked about the matter.
Lan Ruoling sighed quietly and reluctantly told Lu Zhiyao the whole story. There was nothing she could do about it, not for anything else but because the emperor had approved it.
"Your Majesty?!" Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment. Did the Chu family offend the Emperor in any way? They probably don't have the courage... "What's going on?" Lu Zhiyao's eyes darkened and he asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that we are indeed looking for some wanted criminal. This order was personally issued by the Minister of Punishment. All the restaurants and inns in the capital have been searched, but you also know that in the capital,
Now more than half of the shops are owned by the Chu family, so they are the ones suffering the biggest losses."
"You can be considered a member of the Ministry of Punishment. Since you are the person the court wants to arrest, there is no reason why you, the detective, should not know the identity of the other party. Who is worthy of having both the emperor and the Minister of Punishment come forward in person? To make it so mysterious?"
The more Lu Zhiyao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, "Does Yinan know about this?"
"I know, but the master doesn't seem to have any intention of getting involved in this matter."
Lu Zhiyao was silent for a moment and waved his hand to Lan Ruoling to leave first. "Please pay attention to this matter for me. I want to know who they are looking for."
In any case, Chu Ziqian is now working for the Eight Emperors Palace. Although this person is not a gentleman, he has been tricked by Lu Zhiyao several times. If he can help, Lu Zhiyao will naturally help. And Lu Zhiyao will help.
There is another thing that I am vaguely worried about in my heart. Xia Han is also considered a prisoner of the imperial court. Her existence should not be discovered, right?
The queen's people have always stayed in the Eight Emperors Mansion and have never left. During this period, Lu Zhiyao also found out how many masters were hidden inside. Regarding the fact that there are people accompanying him every time he goes out, Lu Zhiyao
At first it didn't seem like anything, but then it gradually started to feel like it was really inconvenient. This also made Lu Zhiyao want to speed up and get rid of these annoying minions as soon as possible.
It was late at night and Lin Yinan had not returned to his room to rest. Lu Zhiyao walked slowly to the study, knocked on the door and walked in.
Closing the door with her backhand, she looked at the two people not far away and asked softly: "Did I come at the wrong time?"
"No." Lin Yinan smiled slightly and let her pass. After Lu Zhiyao approached, he continued talking to Chu Ziqian about the topic just now.
Lu Zhiyao listened quietly to the side. Sure enough, it was about the matter about the Ministry of Punishment.
"You should have conducted your own private investigation, right?" Lu Zhiyao asked, "Nothing was found?"
Chu Ziqian shook his head, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and replied: "Maybe it's aimed at our family, but it's true that there are no problems with the Gu family."
"The Gu family probably doesn't have the strength to hire people from the Ministry of Punishment to deal with you, right?" Lu Zhiyao frowned and looked at Lin Yinan, but he did not express his opinion on this.
"Li Muchen did what happened to the Gu family. You can take him with you to investigate. You have to ensure Xia Han's safety. If there are not enough manpower, you can tell me."
The name Xia Han spoken from Lin Yinan's mouth made Lu Zhiyao take a breath. After Chu Ziqian and Lin Yinan settled the matter and left, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head for a while and said nothing, which made Lin Yinan quite concerned.
.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yinan stood up and walked to Lu Zhiyao, looking down at her and asked.
"It's okay." Lu Zhiyao forced a smile and said, "Leave the Chu family's affairs to me."
"Are you interested?"
"It's okay." Lu Zhiyao replied perfunctorily. She originally wanted to ask Lin Yinan about Xia Han, but she didn't expect that he had already taken care of it. Facing him who had taken care of everything, she couldn't say thank you.
Exit. "Did you send Chu Ziqian to Xiaohan?"
Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao intently, and the room fell into silence for a moment. As if he wanted to read Lu Zhiyao's thoughts, Lin Yinan kept staring into her eyes.
"You should repay me with your love, and we will talk about the rest later." Lin Yinan stretched out his long arms and pulled Lu Zhiyao into his arms, extinguished the candle and hugged her out of the study.
Lu Zhiyao pushed him uncomfortably and looked back towards the study room. "Have you arranged for someone to be there?"
"Can you detect it?" Lu Zhiyao's keen sense made Lin Yinan look at him with admiration again. There was indeed someone guarding outside the study, but if it was the previous Lu Zhiyao, he would not be able to feel it.
"Well...it's just a feeling." Lu Zhiyao replied vaguely, and was pulled back to the room by Lin Yinan. He didn't wake up until his clothes were taken off his body.
After not sleeping well all night, Lu Zhiyao climbed out of bed feeling sore the next morning. While Lin Yinan had already gotten up and left, he hurriedly put on his clothes, straightened the bed and went out.
"Madam, you're awake." Wan Yue, who was working in the yard, turned to look at Lu Zhiyao and said with a smile: "The master just went out a while ago and said he wouldn't let me ask you to have breakfast. I didn't expect you to get up by yourself."
Lu Zhiyao's face turned slightly red and he asked, "Has he left the house?"
"Well, it seems that he has entered the palace." Wan Yue nodded, then put down what she was doing, and said to Lu Zhiyao: "Madam, I tried to cook the two dishes we went to eat yesterday. You can try it later.
try?"
"Well, bring it here."
Lu Zhiyao's cooking skills are not good, but her two maids are really good. Although Lu Zhiyao followed them into the kitchen twice, it was still the same as before, and the food he cooked was inedible. So in
After Lin Yinan ate the meal she carefully prepared and had diarrhea for two days, Lu Zhiyao completely gave up the idea of entering the kitchen. However, her mouth was also made more and more naughty by the maid, and now the restaurant in the capital
She had eaten almost all of it. Recently, she thought there was a restaurant that cooked pretty good food, so she went there twice more. Later, she found out that it was owned by Chu Ziqian’s family. Before she even asked Chu Ziqian to get her money back for the meal, she
It's a matter of investigation by the government.
After eating the food cooked by Wanyue, Lu Zhiyao said thoughtfully: "It seems that the taste is a bit lacking."
"I think so too." Wan Yue also said with a look of approval: "How about... Madam, can you take me to eat again someday?"
"You girl." Lu Zhiyao looked at Wanyue with a smile and asked, "Is it true that you can't make it, or are you greedy for the food in the restaurant?"
