Gu Junwen and the other two were making sarcastic remarks and arguing in the room when Li Xianhua suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.
Before he entered the house, the voice had already arrived:
"Oh no, oh no, three masters..."
But when he saw the scene in front of him, the rest of his words were stuck in his throat as if the pause button had been pressed.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yanzhou looked at the two people who didn't respond and had to ask.
Li Xianhua felt the aura in the room and swallowed his saliva: "It's the smoke yard. Another male corpse was found in the smoke yard.
And the coroners have come to the conclusion that the six bodies dug up the day before were all female."
In an instant, the room became quiet.
The case becomes more and more complicated: a hidden brothel and more and more corpses are buried right under the feet of the emperor.
It seems that a breakthrough must be made before things continue to escalate, otherwise they will suffer as well.
After all, Emperor Mingde was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Gu Junwen was the best example.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and Li Xianhua quietly left and closed the door.
Ye Nanyi was looking through the old case files, Qin Yanzhou was pacing back and forth thinking carefully, and Gu Junwen was...
I'm shipping CP.
"Tongtong, look at how well these two people work together. There's no way a third person can get in between them."
Gu Junwen stood by the window, secretly looking at the two people busy in the room.
System 101 has already laid down. In addition to being indirectly ambitious, it is now just like Gu Junwen, a salted fish that continues to eat and wait for death:
"Host, it is true that you put it that way."
"How about calling them Nanzhou CP? You'll be one of the spectators when the time comes."
"Keep your word."
If there was a plate of melon seeds, Gu Junwen and the system could probably get together to have a tea chat.
"This is the joy of slacking off." Gu Junwen closed his eyes, looking as relaxed as if he was on vacation on a sunny beach, a smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Major General Gu? Major General Gu." A loud but slightly greasy male voice sounded.
Finally, with the persistence of the owner of that voice, Gu Junwen was awakened from his fantasy.
When Gu Junwen opened his eyes, his gaze met a wall of flesh.
At some point, a sturdy man stood in front of her.
The man in front of him was tall, with layers of fat on his body, making him look bloated like a balloon. He had to take a breath after walking every two steps.
Although it was the coldest season in Kyoto, he was only wearing a custom-made oversized short-sleeved uniform, with a faint scholarly air about him.
"Oh, it's Chen Youzhi, Master Chen."
Gu Junwen recognized the fat man in front of him as Qiu Niang’s old lover, Chen Youzhi, whom he met in Duiyanyuan yesterday.
"General Gu has a good memory. I am Chen Youzhi. However, I am only a first-rank official in the capital. I dare not address you as sir in front of you three."
Chen Youzhi smiled, and his fat body trembled with his movements.
"Speak to the point!" Ye Nanyi spoke impatiently, and then he glared at Gu Junwen.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Youzhi was frightened and shuddered, subconsciously touching the non-existent sweat on his head.
"General Gu, I am here on behalf of the Du family, the victim of the Yanliu Pavilion case. The former head of the Du family was my teacher. My teacher..."
Chen Youzhi grabbed Gu Junwen excitedly, and in an instant his thoughts were clearly known to Gu Junwen.
"This is General Gu who is going to stir up the situation in Kyoto. If I can get in touch with him, I will definitely be able to reap a lot of benefits when his grand plan is completed."
Gu Jun's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Officials in Kyoto were divided into nine ranks, with the first rank being the lowest and the ninth rank being the highest. There were many first-rank officials like Chen Youzhi in Kyoto.
It's not that he looks down on Chen Youzhi because of his low official rank. Gu Junwen also knows that the average person in Kyoto is very cautious.
But my lords, why do you always bring a useless girl like her with you when you are calculating your own things?
She just wanted to stand on the city wall of Kyoto and loudly announce: She, Gu Junwen, had no definite purpose.
However, she also knew that doing so would only bring shame upon herself and no one would believe her.
But no matter how he thought about it, Gu Junwen was still forced to start business mode.
She interrupted Chen Youzhi and said, "Don't worry, Master Chen. We are aware of all this and we will definitely give justice to the Du family."
"Then I'll have to trouble you three adults!" Chen Youzhi bowed deeply to the three people, thanked them repeatedly, and then stepped out.
"So, Master Gu," Qin Yanzhou's joking voice came, "the victim is here, don't let me dream there, come on, look through the files, we have to go out to look for other clues this afternoon."
"Oh oh oh." Gu Junwen concealed his embarrassment, stretched, and walked over.
It's nice to go out for a walk in the afternoon.
Yonghua Palace
Queen Su was wearing her regular dress today, with only the simplest butterfly hairpin, and was sitting on a small couch by the window.
Her fingers, wearing red armor, were slightly raised as she carefully looked through the recent financial expenditure account book of the inner palace, adding a few entries from time to time.
"The Queen."
Lan Juan, the maidservant who came with Empress Su's dowry, walked in quickly with her head down, holding a plate.
Lan Juan bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this is the new winter plum blossom that bloomed this year. Minister Su sent someone to bring it here from Lingbei."
"Father is the one who understands me." Queen Su put down the account book, picked up a wintersweet from the plate, put it to her nose, closed her eyes and sniffed it.
"Empress, please tell the kitchen to make some plum blossom cakes. The plum blossoms look great today."
"I always trust you to do things." Queen Su put down the wintersweet and smiled slightly.
