Gu Huainian frowned, made a quick decision, and looked at his four subordinates: "You four, guard the gates of the Gu Mansion."
"Yes, sir." The four subordinates left quickly.
"Go to the Dali Temple and call people to search the general's mansion." Gu Huainian said to the remaining subordinate.
"Yes, sir." The man left.
Gu Huainian looked at the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, take me to Zhuyue's residence quickly!"
"yes."
Gu Huainian followed the housekeeper into a courtyard.
The butler pointed to one of the rooms and said, "Sir, this is Zhuyue's room."
Gu Huainian walked up and kicked the door open.
The room was tidy and empty.
Gu Huainian quickly searched the room but found no obvious evidence.
Gu Huainian flipped through Zhuyue's clothes, and the portrait appeared in his mind.
Some of people's little preferences never change. The clothes worn by the people in the portraits and these clothes may seem completely different styles, but they actually have something in common, such as floral decorations and some small details...
Gu Huainian was absolutely certain that Zhuyue was the one who hired a killer to kill Tangli!
Why did she do that?
Is Zhuyue being instructed by someone, or does he have a grudge against Tangli?
She is Aying's maid. Does Aying know that she does all this?
Gu Huainian frowned slightly.
He didn't believe that Aying would do this, but as the Chief Justice, he had to put aside his personal feelings and analyze all the possibilities.
While Gu Huainian was lost in thought, a figure rushed in.
"Brother!" The person who came was Gu Ying. She asked innocently, "I heard from the servants that you were looking for something in Zhuyue's room. What happened to Zhuyue?"
In fact, when she heard that her brother broke into Zhuyue's room, she knew that her brother had found out about Zhuyue.
It only took two days. Her brother was indeed very perceptive.
Fortunately, she was very clear about her brother's abilities, so she let Zhuyue hide yesterday.
By this time, Zhuyue had already left the capital. As long as Zhuyue couldn't be found, the clues would be tied to her, and the case would remain unsolved.
Gu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I was vigilant, otherwise I would have been caught every month and the consequences would have been disastrous.
If Zhuyue hadn't been useful to her, she would have killed her long ago. Zhuyue was such a smooth knife to use that Gu Ying couldn't bear to kill her, thinking she might be able to use her again someday.
Gu Huainian looked at his sister's innocent face and observed silently.
He is good at observing people's micro-expressions and analyzing whether they are lying.
He observed for a moment and initially concluded that his sister might not know about this.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his sister was not involved, otherwise...
However, he still felt a lingering fear when he thought about the dangerous person like Zhuyue lurking around his sister.
Just as he was about to speak, a subordinate came over quickly and said respectfully, "Sir, we have searched the entire general's mansion, but we can't find Zhuyue."
Gu Ying was very surprised: "Zhuyue is missing?"
Gu Huainian looked at Gu Ying with a gentle expression: "Yes, Ying, when was the last time you saw Zhuyue?"
Gu Ying thought about it seriously, and then said, "Yesterday evening, and then I haven't seen her since. Brother, when you asked this, I suddenly felt a little strange. What Zhuyue said yesterday was like she was saying goodbye to me."
"What did she say?" Gu Huainian asked.
"She told me to take care of myself." Gu Ying said, "Brother, what happened to Zhuyue? Did something happen to her? She, a little maid, disappeared. Was she kidnapped by bad guys?"
The more Gu Ying thought about it, the more nervous she became. She couldn't help but grab Gu Huainian's arm, her face full of worry.
His naive sister treated Zhuyue as an ordinary maid, not knowing how dangerous this maid was.
Gu Huainian patted her shoulder and said soothingly, "Zhuyue is not an ordinary person. She is the one who hired someone to kill Tangli."
"How is it possible? Impossible! Zhuyue has been with me for so many years, and I know her very well. How could she kill someone?" Gu Ying said in disbelief.
"Aying, you can judge a person by his appearance but not his heart, do you understand? Brother will not lie to you." Gu Huainian's expression was very serious.
His sister is still too naive and doesn't know how treacherous people are.
Gu Ying stared at his serious face and nodded slowly.
"I believe in my brother."
"If you see Zhuyue, or if Zhuyue contacts you, please tell me, okay?" Gu Huainian said.
Gu Ying nodded again.
She still couldn't believe it, and was a little scared: "Brother, is Zhuyue really that bad?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and I will protect you." Gu Huainian said softly.
With Gu Huainian's gentle comfort, Gu Ying seemed less scared.
…
Two days passed in a flash, and the murderer who wanted to kill Tangli was still not caught.
Lord Wu and Madam Wu were both very worried about her safety.
Lord Wu went to the Dali Temple every day to follow the progress of the case. He would not be able to rest assured until the murderer was caught.
Madam Wu arranged several guards to follow Tangli.
"Mom, Wei Qing has arranged people to follow me, don't worry." Tang Li said.
"It's safer to have more people." Mrs. Wu said.
Anyway, she couldn't bear to see her daughter-in-law get hurt.
Before, her wife was being hunted by assassins, and she was still terrified just thinking about it. She said someone was following her, but where did that person go when Tangli was being hunted?
Mrs. Wu no longer trusts those individuals at all.
If those secret guards knew what Madam Wu was thinking, they would definitely cry out in injustice.
Tangli was so powerful that they didn't need to take any action at all. They could only watch the fun.
"Let them follow. Once the case is solved, if you don't want them to follow anymore, forget it." Mrs. Wu insisted.
Tang Li knew that Madam Wu was really worried about her, and she felt warm in her heart, so she could only agree to her request.
Therefore, every time Tang Li went out, he was followed by a large group of people.
One day, Tangli was walking on the street when he saw a group of people gathered in front of him.
That place is where notices are posted. There are so many people here, so I guess there must be something new.
Tangli thought for a moment and walked over.
Sure enough, there was a new notice posted there, arresting a wanted criminal. Tang Li looked at the criminal's portrait and recognized her identity at a glance.
She is the maid beside Gu Ying.
It seems that the Dali Temple has found this maid, but she ran away, so the clue was lost.
Tangli was not disappointed.
She didn't think that this incident would expose Gu Ying's vicious true face.
Gu Ying is the heroine after all, and according to the established trajectory, she is the one who will become the queen. She is not only vicious, but also very smart, so it is definitely not that easy to be brought down.
It was normal for Gu Ying to sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot and sacrifice the maid.
Tang Li had an impression of this maid. She had seen her in Li Village. This maid was very skilled and was considered Gu Ying's right-hand man.
Now that the notice has been released, it means that the maid is either dead or has escaped.
If he died, it would mean that one of Gu Ying's arms would be cut off; if he escaped, he would be like a time bomb, making Gu Ying uneasy.
No matter what, she won't lose.
A smile appeared on Tang Li's lips, and her contest with Gu Ying continued.
