She always couldn't feel at ease without searching carefully.
However, Gu Qiancheng was different. Qin Jiyan intended to make her the queen within a hundred days. If rumors of matricide broke out at this juncture, it would definitely make it more difficult to establish the queen.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Ziqi and Zinuo looked at Ziyang, as if they were waiting for him to make up his mind.
"Dong dong dong..." The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Ziyang, Ziqi, and Zino, who were hiding in the dry well, immediately tensed up. "No, someone is coming."
Although it is not a crime for a master to kill a slave, a master who murders a slave will still go to jail...
"Dong dong dong..." Gu Qiancheng walked to the dry well, pointed to the bluestone slab above and said, "It's right here, remove the stone, go down and have a look."
Ignoring the shrew-like Mrs. Gu, Gu Qiancheng greeted the old man and then led the Jin Yiwei to search the Gu family mansion again.
Of course, she had doubts that the Loyalty Gu was cast by someone from the Gu family, but the Wu family's spies had been keeping an eye on the Gu family. No one in the Gu family, including Mrs. Gu, had a chance to cast the poison, and judging from their reactions today, they didn't Like a spy.
The old housekeeper received the news and hurried over, "Miss, what's going on?" The old housekeeper looked at Gu Qiancheng with a puzzled expression, but had no intention of stopping him and just stood aside.
"Yes." The two royal guards stepped forward and removed the bluestone slab that was pressing on it. But just when they removed a small opening that could only accommodate one person, a black shadow suddenly popped out of it...
Mrs. Gu saw that everyone had received Gu Qiancheng's guarantee, but she was the only one left out. She was afraid that Gu Qiancheng would not care about her life or death, so she said anxiously: "What about me? What about me? Do you not care about my life or death? Gu Qiancheng Cheng, you have to know that I was bewitched because of you. If you don’t care about me, I will go outside and accuse you of matricide and unfilial piety!”
Gu Qiancheng suspected that the Gu family might be hiding some outsider.
Before searching the house, Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything. So when people saw Jin Yiwei breaking into the yard where Gu Qiancheng lived, everyone opened their mouths in shock. They wanted to remind Jin Yiwei to be careful and not damage the house. However, seeing Gu Qiancheng following behind him, the servant did not dare to say a word.
However, Jin Yiwei still had a sense of discretion and did not mess with Gu Qiancheng's things. After all, they came here to find someone, not to ransack the house.
"Okay!" Ziqi and Zinuo agreed without any hesitation.
"Yes." The old butler took a step back and stood behind Gu Qiancheng dutifully, keeping his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, observing his duties as a servant.
After a search, it was found that no one was hiding in Gu Qiancheng's yard. Jin Yiwei came out to report, but Gu Qiancheng did not rush to tell the people to disperse. He only said: "I remember that there was an abandoned yard separated by a wall from me. There were still people there. There is a dry well, have you searched it?"
Gu Qiancheng's residence was very remote. No one lived in the courtyard around her, and it had long been abandoned.
Gu Qiancheng thought that if someone wanted to hide in the Gu family, that would definitely be a good place.
The dry well that Gu Qiancheng mentioned was in the northwest corner. Almost no one went to that place. The reason why Gu Qiancheng knew it was because the original owner often went there and sometimes hid in the dry well to avoid trouble from Mrs. Gu and Gu Qianxue.
But... his hands are hidden in his sleeves, and most people can't even notice them!
"Then let's go take a look." Gu Qiancheng glanced at the people in the room and walked out first.
The old butler paused for a moment, his old eyes narrowed, but soon he followed Gu Qiancheng like no one else.
There is only a wall between them. You can go through by opening the small door in the middle of the door. Gu Qiancheng walked into the abandoned courtyard first and walked directly in the direction of the dry well.
"What do you care about? You killed my nanny, and I haven't settled the debt with you yet. How do you still want me to care about you?" Gu Qiancheng looked at Mrs. Gu coldly, with cold eyes, as if looking at a dead person. .
The old housekeeper nodded clearly and said: "Miss, I have gathered all the servants in the house and are interrogating them. Do you want to take a look, Miss?" The old housekeeper explained without leaving a trace why he had not appeared before. .
"We'll talk about it later." Gu Qiancheng did not leave in a hurry, but signaled the old housekeeper to wait.
"There are quite a few people there, it's probably not that old guy." The three of them looked at each other, seeing tension and worry in each other's eyes, and knew in their hearts that their guess was right.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Gu threatened the wrong person.
If Gu Qiancheng is threatened by Mrs. Gu, then she is no longer Gu Qiancheng.
"To tell you what, Miss, I've checked all the surrounding yards, and I didn't see the dry well that Miss mentioned." Jin Yiwei thought for a moment, frowned and said.
"You, you... what are you talking nonsense about? When will I kill your nanny?" Mrs. Gu didn't care before and admitted it openly, but after staying in prison for a while, Mrs. Gu no longer dared to respond casually.
When the scumbag died, she checked everyone in the Gu family, and she cleaned up all the servants with problems. She really couldn't think of who could have poisoned the Gu family.
"Humph..." Gu Qiancheng snorted coldly and did not continue to argue with Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu was not the one who actually took action in that incident, but all the people who did it were executed by the old man. She couldn't find any evidence now and could only watch Mrs. Gu be released after being imprisoned for a few months.
The dry well mentioned by Gu Qiancheng is very convenient for hiding people, and it is not easy to be discovered, because the dry well is flat, covered with a bluestone slab, and looks no different from the surrounding roads.
Gu Qiancheng led people to look for dry wells, and the old housekeeper also accompanied him. He followed Gu Qiancheng step by step. He walked unhurriedly and looked the same as usual. Only the fists shrunk in his sleeves gave away the fact that he was True inner reaction.
Ziyang thought for a moment and said, "That thing won't care about our life or death. Let's kill it first."
With Gu Qiancheng on the line, Jin Yiwei had no worries. After rushing into Gu Qiancheng's yard, he searched everything inside and out, even the box where Gu Qiancheng kept his things.
She did not come back today to settle matters with Mrs. Gu, and she does not need to settle matters with Mrs. Gu now. Instead of simply executing her according to the law, Gu Qiancheng prefers to see Mrs. Gu trembling with fear and panic all day long...
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Mrs. Gu has nothing but a life now. She is not afraid of losing anything at all, nor is she afraid that Gu Qiancheng will retaliate against her. Anyway, she has a life. If the Loyalty Gu cannot be solved, she will still survive. not long.
"Looking for a spy." The old housekeeper belonged to Qin Jiyan, and he had not been poisoned by the loyalty poison. Gu Qiancheng still trusted him, but trust was trust, and Gu Qiancheng did not say much in front of the old housekeeper.
Of course, Gu Qiancheng was not sure that there would be someone hiding in the Gu family. He just followed the principle of being cautious and did not let go of any possibility.
