Chapter 203 You reminded me of something
Bai Ziyu's voice was a little vague in the sound of rain, but Gu Siqing felt like thunder exploding in her ears and suddenly held his hand.
"You reminded me of something! A very important thing! Thank you so much! You go back first, I want to go to Zui Xiang Lou." Gu Siqing let go of Bai Ziyu's hand and ran towards Zui Xiang Lou.
Bai Ziyu glanced at her hand which still had the residual warmth of her skin. A few drops of rain fell on his palm, and then he clenched his hand thoughtfully.
Gu Siqing did not meet Chi Hongyuan, but asked Hong Girl to help him find someone.
Chi Hongyuan had already given instructions earlier, so as soon as Gu Siqing opened her mouth, Miss Hong agreed. It was just to investigate some old events of the Zhou family, which didn't require much effort.
Chi Hongyuan had developed Zui Xiang Lou's intelligence network very well. Gu Siqing only had to wait in the private room for two hours, and Hong found out all the information she wanted.
"Sir." Miss Hong put the letter on the table in front of Gu Siqing, "This is all the information you want. In addition, we have found some other things. Please take a look."
When Miss Hong stood up and stepped aside, she glanced at Gu Siqing a few times. Her master had said before that Young Master Liu was a woman, so she should take good care of him in the future and make sure nothing went wrong.
In the past, Hong Gu Niang just thought that Liu Suifeng was not fully grown yet, so her frame was small, but she didn't expect that she was actually a girl.
"Thank you very much. Miss Hong, please leave first. I will take a closer look myself." Gu Siqing picked up the letter on the table and opened it, thinking that it was no wonder that Chi Hongyuan could find out her background.
Not to mention her trivial matters, even the Zhou family's past affairs could be found out in less than two hours, let alone her? Gu Siqing frowned slightly. Maybe, she could cultivate her own intelligence network?
After unfolding the letter and seeing the first line of words, Gu Siqing smiled. Zhou Junyuan really didn't let her down. He was always accurate in catching the opponent's braids.
As the most outstanding son-in-law of the Minister of War, he was very close to Lord Zhao.
The two of them were close, but it wasn't because they had a really good relationship, but rather they were close friends who were in cahoots with each other. With Zhao Yinlian acting as a bridge, it turned out that there was something fishy going on between the two.
I don't know where Hong Girl and her friends got the ability and means to get the accounts and transactions between the Minister of War and Zhou Jun who was far away in the army over the years.
Gu Siqing was not good at other things, but when it came to accounting, she was second to none. After just looking at the first page of the account book, Gu Siqing saw a lot of loopholes.
In the account books, it is unclear where a lot of money went. These two people were bold enough to openly embezzle food and money. In addition, Zhou Junyuan has been firmly defending the prince's position over the years, which does not necessarily mean he is loyal to the emperor.
Who doesn't know that the prince is mediocre? Zhou Junyuan's actions show his wolfish ambitions.
"Clang!" Gu Siqing was watching so intently that he accidentally knocked over the oil lamp on the table with his elbow.
The oil lamp fell to the ground, and the fire started burning along with the kerosene. The flickering flames in front of her eyes aroused Gu Siqing's fear. The moment she stood up, she saw the letter on the table and immediately went over to pick it up.
"Miss!" Miss Hong, who was waiting outside the door, heard the noise and pushed the door open. Seeing the overturned oil lamp, she immediately pulled Gu Siqing away and said, "Come with me first. Someone will take care of it here."
Miss Hong quickly took Gu Siqing out of the private room. At the same time, someone came with water to put out the fire.
"Girl..." When they reached the empty private room, Miss Hong almost blurted out the word "girl". After calming down, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately changed her words, "Sir, are you okay?"
After closing the door, Miss Hong discovered that Gu Siqing's hands were as cold as ice. Miss Hong looked up in surprise and saw Gu Siqing with his eyes wide open, holding a stack of letters in his arms, staring blankly ahead.
"Young Master? Are you injured anywhere?" Miss Hong's heart skipped a beat and she raised her hand and waved it in front of Gu Siqing.
Gu Siqing just came to his senses, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
When she woke up, Gu Siqing had been ill for two days. She asked and found out that it was the people from Ruyi Pavilion who sent her back. As for the letters, Guihua helped her put them in a box.
"Go and get the box." Gu Siqing struggled to sit up.
Seeing this, Guihua immediately handed the box on the desk to her and asked, "Can you see if anything is missing?"
Gu Siqing opened the box and looked through it, making sure that nothing was missing, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Over the years, Zhao Yinlian took advantage of the relationship between her father and her husband to accept bribes in private when attending banquets in other places, and helped the husband or son of the noble lady in the officialdom to rise to a high position.
There were even people who sold minor official positions. Most of the young generals around Zhou Junyuan had bought their military merits. All the things Zhao Yinlian did were serious crimes.
Although she was still ill, she was still ecstatic holding these charges that Zhao Yinlian had "delivered to her door".
The evidence she had found before could only send Zhao Yinlian to jail at most. She would still need to do some things herself afterwards, but with these, it would be much easier.
If the evidence she had before was only 70% certain, now it is 100% certain.
"Miss, you are still ill. The doctor said you need to rest well. You fainted because you were too frightened. What happened in Ruyi Pavilion that day?"
Guihua sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Gu Siqing who was hugging the box with some worry. The master had been ill for two days after being sent back, and was like this again when he woke up. Anyone who saw him would be worried. I don't know what happened in Ruyi Pavilion.
"I'm fine. I think I was too tired, so the evil wind entered my body and I became ill. Now I'm better, right?" Gu Siqing smiled at her.
This was not a lie. She had never felt so happy since she was reborn. Soon all the grudges would be settled. However, the incident at Zui Xiang Lou happened suddenly that day. There were many things she had not had time to confirm. She had to go to Zui Xiang Lou again without delay.
Gu Siqing closed the box, lifted the quilt and was about to get off the bed. Guihua was so scared that she quickly pushed him back onto the bed.
"Miss, where are you going? Tell me what you want to get. You just woke up, so you need to rest and recuperate."
Guihua pressed her hand with great force. Gu Siqing glanced at her and knew that she would not be able to leave the house today.
"I'm a little thirsty. Go and get me a cup of tea." Gu Siqing's voice was hoarse and a little weak. Just by listening to her voice, one could tell that she was seriously ill.
Thinking that besides Osmanthus, there were also Peanut, mother and grandmother, Gu Siqing had to suppress his excitement and decided to recuperate for two days and have a good rest before going to Zuixianglou.
After lying in bed for two days, Gu Siqing did nothing but take medicine and sleep, and he recovered quickly.
On the third day, while Yin Yaoxin, her grandmother, and Zhen went to the mountain to burn incense, she immediately changed into men's clothes and left the house.
