Ming Mo returned to the Gu Mansion and said that only three children had been saved. The children were not very old, one legitimate daughter was twelve years old, the other two were boys, one was still in infancy, and the other was only five years old.
Gu Chengyu knew that the Guo family only had these two younger sons. The girl's family didn't go out often, so they could find someone to replace them, but those descendants had no choice but to give up.
Gu Chengyu ordered Ming Yan to place the few people properly and not to look for them in the near future, so as not to be discovered by interested parties. He showed the token to Guo Shi, and regardless of Guo Shi's tears, he packed him and the staff to Hu Maoshen.
As for the internal agent in Wanfu, Gu Chengyu didn't bother with it. Now that he has found the staff, are he afraid that he can't find the internal agent? Naturally, it was left to Hu Maoshen to worry about.
Everything was ready, all he needed was the east wind. At midnight, he went to visit Dali Temple at night.
However, he then remembered that there was one more thing he had not done.
"Ming Mo! Take someone to put all the valuable things in the house into the dark room and replace them with some worthless things."
Gu Chengyu remembered what Zhu Pang had said last time that the search by the soldiers and horses was like locusts crossing the border. After the search, all the wooden furniture in the house would be destroyed, and the porcelain would be shattered into pieces. Those small and valuable things would be taken away by these people.
Gu Chengyu has added many expensive items to his house in the past two years, and he is reluctant to give away good things to others.
Mingmo paused, a little dazed. At this serious moment, his young master actually still had the heart to think about this.
Gu Chengyu finally waited until midnight to prepare the incense in the space. Speaking of incense, this one is an improved version. This one is effective. You can wake up after half an hour of sleep. You will not notice anything strange after that. You just think that you are
I just fell asleep accidentally.
Half an hour was enough for him to do his work. He checked the time in the space and put on black night clothes.
"Young Master, you should go as a young man!" Ming Mo saw that Gu Chengyu was about to set off and quickly tried to dissuade him. Dali Temple was heavily guarded. How could the young master break in by himself, no matter how high his martial arts skills were?
"No need, you wait in the house, maybe there will be a tough battle tomorrow. I'll come back as soon as I go, don't worry." After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he tapped his feet a few times and disappeared into the night.
Ming Mo knew that the young master always did what he was sure of and did not like disobedient servants. He could only worry in the house that the young master was very skilled in martial arts and might do bad things if he went there.
Gu Chengyu took advantage of the night and lightly tapped on the roof of the house, heading towards the Dali Temple. The moon tonight was big and round, and the moonlight was bright and clear. It covered the gardens of wealthy families with a layer of silver frost, and looked at the beautiful scenery.
, but Gu Chengyu had no intention of admiring this scene.
He quietly came to the outside of Dali Temple and found two soldiers guarding the gate. There were two teams of soldiers patrolling outside. He took a look and found that if he wanted to go in, he could only wait for the opportunity, which could only be when they changed shifts.
Go in.
Gu Chengyu stayed on guard for about half an hour. When he saw that the soldiers had just handed over, he expected that it must be time for a shift change, so there would definitely be no shift change in a short time, so he felt relieved.
After walking around on the roof, I found that there was only one house inside that was slightly lower. The other places, even those with floors, were guarded by soldiers.
Clinging on the roof, Gu Chengyu glanced at the moonlight in the sky, and just wanted to curse. Damn it, it's not half a moon, the moon is too round and too bright, right? Tonight is really not a good time! It's a pity that the time has not waited for him.
, he can only act tonight.
Looking at the soldiers guarding there, he decided to take care of that one first so that he could get down from the low courtyard.
Gu Chengyu moved slowly, holding his breath. He sprinkled a little powder, and the soldier fainted when he smelled it. Gu Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward, leaned his body against the pillar next to him, and used the medicine in his hand to
The spear was pressed against him to prevent him from falling. This way, when he woke up, he could give the illusion that he had accidentally fallen asleep.
Gu Chengyu flew downwards, avoiding the patrolling soldiers all the way, and saw an entrance with the word "Tian Prison" on it. There were two soldiers guarding the prison that day.
Gu Chengyu finally felt that he had underestimated Dali Temple before. There were really two guards in one level, and several groups of soldiers were required to patrol.
He looked at the row of soldiers who just passed by, looked at the two gatekeepers, and quickly sprinkled the poison out. Fortunately, those soldiers did not patrol this place all the time.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fall, Gu Chengyu followed suit and leaned their bodies against the wall. He had just seen the patrol pattern of these people on the roof, and it would only take about a quarter of an hour for them to patrol this place.
Gu Chengyu knew that time was running out, so he took off the key from the guard and opened the door to the prison.
After closing the door and entering, he found that there were several rows of cells inside. Some cells had people in them, while others were empty. Fortunately, there were not many people, otherwise Gu Chengyu would have spent a lot of time looking for people. And if he woke up with a start,
After catching the prisoner, these people still don't know if they will scream.
Gu Chengyu walked very lightly and searched through two rows of cells, but could not find Wan Xuenian or Song Shujing. He looked at the structure of the cell and found that there were several separate cells inside.
He suddenly remembered that Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing had just been detained. Their matter had not been resolved yet, so in order to prevent them from coming into contact with outsiders, of course they had to be detained in separate cells.
Gu Chengyu stepped forward and was about to walk there, but suddenly heard voices.
"Brother Wang, you can't sleep! If an adult interrogates you at night and sees you asleep, we won't be able to eat and walk around!"
A sound suddenly sounded, startling the unsuspecting Gu Chengyu. He hid to the side and looked around, fearing that the sound would wake up the prisoners in the cell.
"What are you afraid of? Is there anyone who can come in in this prison? You don't even know what kind of place this is. You just ask them to come, but they still refuse to come!"
Then, there was the sound of one of them snoring, but the other one also became unresponsive.
After waiting for a few breaths, the prisoners didn't respond. I guess they were used to it. Some of them were still injured, so they probably didn't have the energy to mind the guards' business. But to be on the safe side, Gu Chengyu still drugged him.
It was sprinkled on the cells of those prisoners. There were not many prisoners, so Gu Chengyu didn't spend much time.
Gu Chengyu was relieved and took a look at the entrance and found that there were wine and food in front of the two of them. One of them was a little sleepy and yawning violently, and the other was already lying on the table with his eyes closed, thinking he had fallen asleep.
Gu Chengyu took a look and realized that this man must not be able to bear it. Sure enough, the jailer saw that the other man was asleep, so he also fell asleep on his stomach. He crept in and sprinkled the drug, and the two of them fell asleep immediately.
It's getting heavier.
After taking a look at the cells, I saw that there was someone in the one here, and there was someone in the other one behind this one.
"But Mr. Wan?" This cell was close to the jailer, so he guessed that Wan Xuenian was incarcerated.
Gu Chengyu had seen the portraits of Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing. The man was lying on his back, with only his face covered by messy hair, so his face could not be seen clearly.
"Ahem!" Wan Xuenian seemed to hear someone calling him in a daze. It was such a familiar name. He had heard it for decades.
