Do it cleanly. Min Rui's voice reached Gu Ling's ears.

Mrs. Min snorted coldly, Don't worry.

There was a period of silence, but Gu Ling did not leave, still waiting quietly. He heard Mrs. Min moving around the room, heard the sound of a stool being moved, and the sound of teacups being picked up and put down.

About a quarter of an hour later, Min Rui said, I don't know if what your father wanted to do has been done.

Mrs. Min immediately stopped her, Shut up. This has nothing to do with you. If you dare to talk too much, don't let me do anything for you.

Very informative. Gu Ling thought of the information Chang'an had been ordered to investigate before that Min Rui knew: Mrs. Min's parents had passed away and she had no other relatives in the family. Obviously, this is different from what Min Rui and his wife said now. Gu Ling had already guessed what Mrs. Min meant by doing things for Min Rui.

Mr. Qin had already passed the title of duke to his son Qin Kang. He was now just a respected aristocratic old man in the capital of Qian Kingdom. He had no real power and would not have any enmity with anyone. Mrs. Min planned to cause an accident and kill Mr. Qin without anyone noticing. There could only be one reason: this was Min Rui's intention.

As for the conflict between Min Rui and Mr. Qin, there can only be one thing: Mr. Qin refused the Min family's marriage proposal and did not marry his daughter Qin Yuan to Min Rui.

Judging from the tone of the conversation between the couple, the two are definitely not in love. They even sound like they have no feelings and dislike each other. It is possible that Min Rui still cannot forget Qin Yuan after so many years and is still brooding over his fruitless love.

Probably because Xing Ji was far away and difficult to deal with, Min Rui pointed the finger at Mr. Qin.

But what Gu Ling is more interested in at the moment is Mrs. Min's father. According to Min Rui, his father-in-law is also in the capital and wants to do something secretive. Coincidentally, Duanmu Chen had just suffered an assassination last night. When they were linked together, it became clear: Mrs. Min's father should be one of the four assassins last night and the fifth person who finally responded.

Gu Ling and Su Liang tended to believe that the person behind last night's assassination was the mysterious force colluding with Situ Xie, and that he was also the time-traveler who was hiding deeply but was investigating them.

Therefore, Gu Ling immediately speculated that Min Rui and Mrs. Min were both people related to that mysterious force, and they must know some secret.

Su Mansion.

Seeing that it was noon, Su Liang felt strange that Gu Ling hadn't come back yet. It is said that acupuncture does not take much effort. In the past two days, Gu Ling came back immediately after finishing his errands.

How about my subordinates go to Min Mansion to have a look? Qi Yan asked.

Su Liang nodded, then quickly shook his head, You first go to Mrs. Gao's doctor's house to see if he has returned. She intuitively felt that Gu Ling's failure to come back must be because something unplanned must have happened, and she could not escape temporarily. But it was clear and sunny, so it was unlikely that Gu Ling was trapped in trouble.

Su Liang thought of Min Rui and his wife, wondering if it was Gu Ling who discovered something was wrong with them? After all, it was the Min family that Gu Ling went to. If something happened, it would most likely be related to the Min family. If Qi Yan came to ask questions, it might be bad.

Qi Yan took the order and immediately went out to Gao's house.

During lunch, Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er both asked Gu Ling why he hadn't come back yet, and Su Liang said that he had something to do.

Then how does master eat? Ji Xiaoshu asked with a smile. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙭.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zheng'er replied, Master goes to treat people, of course there are people to entertain him.

I know, pricking someone with a needle. Ji Xiaoshu nodded and asked Su Liang, Does that really not hurt?

Su Liang smiled and said, Do you want to try it?

Ji Xiaoshu immediately shook his head, I'm not sick, so I won't try. Master, please teach me how to give people acupuncture!

This is not a simple acupuncture, it requires learning a lot of medical science. If you are interested, I will teach you slowly. Su Liang said.

The two little guys nodded in unison, expressing their interest.

After lunch, Su Liang rushed them upstairs to take a nap, and Gu Xiaonuan was also coaxed to sleep.

After a while, Qi Yan came back and said, Old doctor Gao was at home. He said that after the Marquis finished acupuncture, the two of them left the Min family together. The Marquis said that he would go to the Duke's Mansion to visit Mr. Qin, so the two separated. .”

Su Liang looked confused. Did he suddenly decide to visit Mr. Qin? This is not what Gu Ling would do. There must be some special reason, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Qin himself.

Then I heard Qi Yan say, My subordinates went to the Duke's Mansion again and met Mr. Qin. He was at home and said that the Marquis had indeed been there, but he didn't see anyone after entering the manor, so he left again. I don’t know where he went. Mr. Qin also said that he would come to his house to fish tomorrow and asked Mr. Hou to make fried fish for him.

Su Liang nodded, I understand.

Qi Yan frowned, Then where should we find the Marquis next?

You don't have to worry about it. Go and ask my fourth master to come over, and then you can go and eat. Su Liang waved his hand.

Based on the information obtained at the moment, Su Liang was sure that Gu Ling's visit to Mr. Qin was just an excuse, and that he went to the Duke's Mansion just for the convenience of disappearing. As for where Gu Ling was, Su Liang guessed that it must be Min Shangshu's mansion. He found something wrong with someone or something at Min's house and needed to investigate secretly, so he took the opportunity to go back to the Duke's Mansion, where he could come and go freely.

Cen Man learned that Su Liang was looking for her and soon came to Yuanming Pavilion.

After entering the door, he first looked at Gu Xiaonuan, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, then sat down next to Su Liang and asked her softly what happened.

It's okay, this kind of noise won't wake her up. Su Liang said, I would like to ask the Fourth Master to go to the Minister Min's Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, which is right next to the Duke's Mansion.

Cen Man asked what he was going to do. He remembered that Gu Ling had never returned from the Min family where he went today, so he frowned, Is Xiao Gu okay?

Su Liang shook his head, It's okay. I guess he is hiding somewhere in the Min family to spy on someone. It is most likely the person who just returned from the Min family, his patient Min Rui.

Cen Man understood, I will go over secretly to see if he is there. If he is, I will stay and let him come back?

Yes. Su Liang nodded, It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not. Master will go see what he needs.

Okay. Cen Man said and stood up, I'll change into light clothes and go over.

Min Mansion.

Gu Ling listened as Min Rui and Mrs. Min had lunch and drank medicine, but they did not have any more effective conversations, nor did they mention what Mrs. Min wanted to do or what happened to her father. New 𝟞𝟡book →𝟞𝟡𝕤𝕙𝕦𝕩.𝕔𝕠𝕞

Min Rou came in the middle. When Min Rou was around, the relationship between the couple sounded much better, but as soon as she left, they returned to a state of mutual respect.

Following Su Liang's instructions, Cen Man found Gu Ling under the back window of Min Rui's room.

Gu Ling's body was pressed against the wall, expressionless and motionless.

Cen Man knew that he must be eavesdropping on the people in the room, and this was very important, otherwise he would not have stayed home without consulting Su Liang in advance.

Gu Ling also saw Cen Man and knew that Su Liang must have asked her to come. The tacit understanding between him and Su Liang goes without saying.

Cen Man did not approach, but asked with gestures if she needed to change shifts?

Gu Ling nodded slightly before Cen Man quietly approached. She still didn't know why she was eavesdropping here, but it wasn't convenient to ask right now.

Gu Ling raised a hand, faced Cen Man, wrote the word female on the palm of his hand, and then pointed at the wall.

Cen Man understood that it was the woman in the room who was being monitored. In this way, if Mrs. Min leaves the room, follow her. As for Min Rui, a seriously ill person, he couldn't go anywhere or do anything.

Then Gu Ling left quietly.

However, he did not go home immediately, but went to the Duke of Qin's mansion again.

The old Duke of Qin was taking a nap in the afternoon. When he saw Gu Ling suddenly appearing in his room, he was startled. He patted his chest and stared at Gu Ling, You kid, why are you so mysterious today? What's going on?

Go fishing at my house. Gu Ling said.

The corner of Mr. Qin's mouth twitched, You came here twice just to invite me to go fishing? Why? No, Qi Yan came here at noon and said he was looking for you. I also asked him to tell Xiaoliang that he would go fishing at your house tomorrow. You What's the matter?

Go today. Gu Ling said, Don't let anyone know that I invited you to go. I will go home and wait for you.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Ling disappeared again. Mr. Qin was stunned for a moment. It took him a moment to react. He couldn't help complaining, How can Xiao Liang tolerate this kid... but he forgot that he had treated Gu Ling. He praised Gu Ling a lot and always talked about Gu Ling when educating his grandson.

Of course, just a few comments. Not long after, Mr. Qin changed his clothes, asked his servants to prepare the car, and said he was going to Su Mansion for fishing.

Qin Kang happened to come over, Didn't Dad say we'll go there tomorrow?

Mr. Qin said calmly, I took a nap and dreamed about Nuan Nuan. I missed her. Anyway, I have nothing to do today. Xiao Liang is not an outsider, so there is no need to say hello in advance.

Qin Kang smiled, Okay. I originally wanted to play two games with dad.

I want to play chess with Xue Qing's father, but I don't have time. After finishing his words, Mr. Qin ordered his entourage to take his fishing gear and go out.

As soon as he left the yard, he turned to Qin Kang and said, Your orchid has bloomed, give me a pot.

Qin Kang raised a lot of rare orchids, and one of them just bloomed this morning. He coughed lightly when he heard this, Dad is going fishing, what do you want the orchids for?

How can there be any reason to come in empty-handed? Bring it to Nuannuan to play with. Mr. Qin said cheerfully.

Qin Kang: ...There is no reason to come empty-handed. Now the center of Su Mansion seems to be little girl Gu Nuannuan, but she is too young. What fun is there in orchids?

But Qin Kang still asked Mr. Qin to take his favorite flower away. After all, he also liked Nuannuan very much. A pot of orchids was nothing.

When Mr. Qin left the house and came to the Su family, Gu Ling had already returned home secretly.

When Su Liang saw him, she asked, Is there something wrong with Min Rui and his wife?

Gu Ling nodded, Mrs. Min's hall is dark.

Su Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, She is not the one who is sick. Could it be that she wants to kill someone?

Gu Ling nodded again and told the useful information he overheard.

Su Liang was simply drunk, Mrs. Min wants to kill Grandpa Qin? Is it because Grandpa Qin didn't marry his daughter to Min Rui? Min Rui must be sick! After so many years, he has married a wife and had a daughter, and he still misses Qin What did Yuan do?

Gu Ling's expression was calm and he said, You will be punished.

Min Rui may not really love Qin Yuan that much, otherwise he would not have been with Mrs. Min and given birth to a daughter. But he must have the character to get whatever he wants. If he doesn't get it, he will suffer and feel that others are sorry for him. He is the youngest son of Lord Min, and he was obviously spoiled. Mr. Qin once mentioned that Min Rui had been favored by his grandmother since he was a child, and Mr. Min could not control him. If your life is too smooth, you won't be able to accept any setbacks or failures.

Min Rui's father-in-law... Su Liang said thoughtfully, Perhaps he was one of the assassins last night, and the two who escaped are more likely. The fact that their family of three can return to the capital shows that Mrs. Min's father is not a small player.

In this way, Su Liang also understood why Gu Ling never relaxed in monitoring Mrs. Min after discovering the problem. Because this may be the breakthrough in the biggest mystery they are currently facing, you cannot miss every word Min Rui and his wife say, as it may provide key information.

Su Liang asked Cen Man to go instead of Lao Mu because Cen Man had been blind for many years and his hearing was sharper than ordinary people, making him suitable for surveillance and eavesdropping.

Then Grandpa Qin... Su Liang was wondering if Mrs. Min would take action today. Cen Man would definitely take action to save Mr. Qin, but in this case, how would the couple react after the shady thing was revealed?

Gu Ling reached out and rubbed Su Liang's eyebrows, I invited him to come fishing. He should be here soon.

Su Liang's eyes lit up, Yes! If you delay and don't give that woman a chance to make a move, she and Min Rui may provide us with more information.

In view of the fact that the top master last night was a dead soldier, Su Liang felt that once the matter was revealed, it would be difficult to pry the Min Rui couple's mouths open. Even if they confessed, it would be difficult to verify the authenticity, and they might be misled.

Therefore, Mrs. Min's plan to kill Mr. Qin must be delayed without leaving any trace, so that the couple thinks they are plotting something secretly. Maybe it would be better to wait until Mrs. Min's father went to find them.

After Gu Ling took a shower and changed clothes, he looked at his daughter. Su Liang went to make him a bowl of hot noodle soup.

As soon as he finished eating, Mr. Qin came, and Gu Xiaonuan also woke up.

As soon as Mr. Qin entered the door, he went straight to Gu Xiaonuan with a pot of orchids in full bloom, Nuan Nuan, let's see what Grandpa brought you?

Then, Gu Xiaonuan grabbed the orchid with her small hands and pulled it away...

Mr. Qin laughed loudly, Nuan Nuan is so strong! He will definitely be a master in the future!

Su Liang: ...Everyone takes care of Gu Xiaonuan like a baby. She must shoulder the responsibility of being a strict mother and educate her daughter well. She can't be too spoiled, but let's wait until she becomes sensible.

Mr. Qin played with Gu Xiaonuan for a while before he remembered to ask Gu Ling what happened today.

It was Su Liang who explained, The emperor was assassinated last night. Two assassins escaped. We are afraid that Grandpa Qin is in danger.

Mr. Qin looked strange, Why am I the only one in danger when the assassin escapes?

Su Liang said bluntly, Actually, it was Gu Ling who overheard Min Rui and his wife conspiring to kill Grandpa Qin.

Mr. Qin looked at Su Liang in disbelief, Who? Min Rui? He wants to harm me? Why... Before he finished speaking, Mr. Qin had already realized why, because apart from the rejected marriage, there was nothing else. possible.

He's simply... crazy! He doesn't know what to say! He's crazy! Back then, I saw that he was indecisive, headstrong, incompetent and arrogant! Why should I marry my daughter to him? Mr. Qin scolded angrily.

Gu Xiaonuan babbling a few times, Mr. Qin quickly calmed down, Don't be afraid Nuannuan, Grandpa is scolding a beast.

Gu Xiaonuan was not afraid, she just wanted to play outside.

Gu Ling finished eating the noodles, put down his chopsticks, and carried Gu Xiaonuan out. Mr. Qin took a deep breath and said with a cold face, So Xiao Gu went home to see if I was okay? What are you going to do?

We hope that Grandpa Qin will remain calm for now, pretend not to know anything, and just be careful. Our people are keeping an eye on the couple and will stop them if they take action. But before that, we have to investigate them secretly. We can't To arouse the enemy. Su Liang said.

Mr. Qin's expression became condensed, You mean, besides wanting to harm me, they have other suspicious things?

Su Liang nodded, The origin of Min Rui's wife is very suspicious.

Mr. Qin knew that when Su Liang said this, it meant that they were inseparable. He took a deep breath and said, The rest of the Min family won't be in danger, right?

They want to do a 'big thing' and won't act rashly. Su Liang said. However, the attempt to murder Mr. Qin is already an extraneous act. This is related to the extremely poor relationship between Min Rui and his wife on the surface. Because of this, the interests of the couple are inconsistent and they think about different things. If there is a conflict, trouble will arise.

I understand. Mr. Qin nodded, Then I will listen to you. I go out every day these days and never leave alone.

If Gu Ling hadn't called Mr. Qin over, he would have gone fishing in his garden this afternoon, and his fishing habit was not to let his servants watch him for fear that any movement would disturb the fish. It's usually fine, but if someone wants to harm him deliberately, it will be dangerous.

This is also the reason why Gu Ling saw the black mist between Mrs. Min's eyebrows. If she didn't stop him, she had a great chance of succeeding.

Su Liang smiled and said, Grandpa Qin, don't be nervous, everything will be fine.

Of course I believe you. It's just... alas! Mr. Qin sighed deeply, It's all bad luck! He thought of his daughter again. Although Mr. Qin is dissatisfied with his son-in-law Xing Ji, at least his character is not a problem.

Mr. Qin went fishing. Su Liang looked at the bright sky outside and let out a long sigh of relief. The mysterious force, the mysterious time traveler, has revealed the tip of the iceberg, but it is not enough...
