Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised when he followed Gai Lou back to his home.
He is also considered a confidant around Zhi Zhu, so why does he live in such a shabby place
Gai Lou turned around and saw Wen Qingzhu's eyes. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be surprised, sir. I'm just a retainer next to Master Shi Zhu. This condition is already considered very good. I'm definitely not as good as Master Shi Zhu, but compared to He Lai’s original residence is ten times better here!”
After hearing this, Wen Qingzhu nodded understandingly.
Looking around, this is a small courtyard next to Shizhu Mansion. When I didn't come in, it looked fine.
As soon as I entered, I found that the place was crowded.
In addition to the three main rooms, there is only the kitchen on the left and the stable on the right.
The courtyard is even smaller, only the size of a main room in Shizhu Mansion.
Next to the kitchen and the stable, there is a straw shed.
When she was about to walk into the house, she found that the servant who was leading the way actually turned around and got into the thatched shed next to the kitchen.
Surprised, Wen Qingzhu entered the house anyway.
After taking only two steps, she heard many breathing sounds in the room on the right.
When he reached the front of the building, he turned around and invited her to sit down: "Sir, please sit down. When the girl who cleans my house comes in, I will take you in. My house is very messy now."
Wen Qingzhu shook his head and said: "No need, the more chaotic the place, the more obvious the traces will be."
Gai Lou was about to say something, but two people heard him outside the door.
Turning around, I saw that in addition to the original servant, there was also a black and red girl who looked about ten years old.
"You guys go back! I don't need you!" Gai Lou waved to them to go back.
The servant then led the girl down.
Wen Qingzhu felt that there was something different about that girl, but that was not the problem now.
She had better go to the room on the left first.
As soon as the door was opened, a rotten fragrance came from inside.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu smelled it, he knew that it was an incense to add to the fun. He walked in and saw that apart from a bed that looked pretty good, the rest were various weapons.
Whips, chains, swords, etc.
Some of the weapons looked like they had been there for a long time, but others looked like they were used regularly, such as the spiked whip.
Wen Qingzhu said nothing and walked straight to the bed.
Among the piles of messy clothes, I finally found something different.
Gai Lou followed her and explained with a slight embarrassment: "These clothes are custom-made for the female slaves in the left column. They are easy to identify."
"Do you know that the slave girl is from the left column?" Wen Qingzhu stood up holding a coat.
Gai Lou didn't want to admit it, but he knew that only Wen Qingzhu could help him now, and there was no need for him to lie.
So he nodded honestly.
Wen Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then turned to ask him: "Does that mean you have been coveting the female slave in Zuolan for a long time? Tell me, how did you know that there is a female slave in Zuolan?"
"Yes." Gao Lou saw that Wen Qingzhu was still analyzing the problem carefully and quickly replied, "It was probably in June. I found that the left column had been transporting Qi Ren female slaves, and they were different from those captured from the border villages in the past. That look is really greedy!"
Wen Qingzhu frowned, Gai Lou quickly stopped, and continued: "Anyway, I found out in June. It turned out that Gao Lan was selling slaves, but then I discovered that Zuo Lan was actually more involved. I often go in and out of the military camp, as you know, There are always not enough soldiers and prostitutes, so from time to time we need to find Gaolan, but many times, it is the people who come from Zuolan."
"So, the person who is really in charge of these slaves is actually Zuo Lan?" Wen Qingzhu began to ponder. Previously, something happened to Gao Lan in the palace, and the crime was placed on Xia Feiyuan's head.
She thought it was Lu Ce who did it, and Lu Ce didn't seem to have said anything about it directly.
But Lu Ce mentioned that he only knew about Gao Lan.
For some reason, Wen Qingzhu now felt that Lu Ce must be hiding something from her on purpose.
He lowered his head and looked at the clothes in his hands. He couldn't find much in this uniform clothes.
Wen Qingzhu was about to leave, but when he turned around, he found a familiar stripe in the pile of clothes.
She turned around to get it. The blue collar was very dark in color and looked like it had been there for many years.
"Is this something you have here?" Wen Qingzhu showed Luo Zi to Gai Lou.
He looked at it carefully and shook his head firmly: "No! This thing doesn't look like something we have here!"
Wen Qingzhu threw away his clothes, wrapped his clothes in a handkerchief and left them behind.
As she walked outside, she looked at the room opposite and said: "The people in there have been locked up for a long time, and the air is not circulating, so they are easily suffocated. I will check the left column here, and I will come back to you when there is news."
"Thank you, Master Xiaoshui." Gai Lou thanked him quickly, but when he looked at Wen Qingzhu, his eyes were filled with shock. Why were there so many people in her room
When Wen Qingzhu left, he passed by the thatched shed next to the kitchen and saw a pair of dark eyes through the gap in the thatched shed.
She took a look and felt strange.
But he didn't expect someone to knock on the door frantically, so he went upstairs to open the door and found that the person who came was actually He Lai!
"How did you come!"
As a former competitor, Gai Lou disliked He Lai very much.
Whatever he has now, He Lai doesn't want.
After today's experience, Gai Lou finally understood Master Xiaoshui's abilities, and now he felt more and more jealous and dissatisfied.
Why do all women like pretty boys like He Lai
He didn't like it or not, but he still had to let He Lai in.
He Lai nodded politely to Gai Lou, and then said directly to Wen Qingzhu: "Sir! The little master is missing! Feitian asked me to come over and tell you!"
Wen Qingzhu immediately stepped forward: "Why are you missing? Take me back quickly!"
After leaving here, Wen Qingzhu rushed back to the inn.
Only Gan Song and Zuo Binning were waiting in the room, both of them anxious.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's return, Zuo Binning ran up and said, "Tu Dan just went shopping with the waiter and never came back. Later, Feitian went out to look for them and said they had left the city!"
"How did they get out of the city!" Wen Qingzhu looked very unhappy. At this time, Tudan went out of the city, what if there was an accident
Wen Qingzhu turned to leave, but Gan Song stepped forward and held her.
Turning around, he saw Gan Song pointing into the room. Wen Qingzhu understood that Gan Song had something to say.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and went in.
Gan Song immediately told her: "After you sent Tudan back, the waiter happened to come back with some exquisite gadgets from Daqi. Tudan followed him to go out. I also went there on the first trip. He followed, and when he was about to come back, Tudan suddenly said that he seemed to have seen his mother! We took him to look for it, but found nothing. I was worried that Tudan had discovered his mother? "
"Then why didn't you go out the second time?" Wen Qingzhu tried to calm down.
Gan Song looked outside helplessly: "Isn't this He Lai here? He volunteered to take Tudan out. I didn't want to go out with him, but Tudan left while I was busy."
"Then why is He Lai back?" Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong, but Tu Dan was not such an impulsive person.
Gan Song pointed outside: "You have to ask He Lai about this."
Wen Qingzhu thanked Gan Song and turned around to go out.
But he saw He Lai still standing at the door, his eyes a little uneasy.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and asked him, "You followed Tudan out. Why didn't you say anything just now?"
He Lai hesitated and said, "Actually, I didn't go out with the little adults, I just took them out."
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes, looked at him steadily and said, "You are not such a person. I know you may have your own affairs, but if something happens to Tudan, you are the biggest responsibility."
She turned around and went out, riding directly to the palace.
Zhi Zhu is busy now, so it would be most appropriate to find Qiu Lin.
When they arrived at the palace, Qiu Lin was not there either.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the second prince's palace. She really didn't want to go to him at this time.
But now something unexpected happened to Tudan. If something happens, only the second prince can help her!
While she was hesitating, He Lai rushed over.
"Sir! Feitian is back with the little master!"
Wen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed and she was about to follow He Lai back when she suddenly felt someone watching her from behind.
Glancing sideways behind him, Wen Qingzhu looked solemn and followed He Lai quickly away on horseback.
As soon as they left, the second prince and Qiu Lin appeared at the door of the hall.
The second prince said with a pity look on his face: "What a great opportunity, but it's a pity that it has come back."
Qiu Lin did not answer his words, but raised another question: "Don't you think it's strange, Prince? Master Xiaoshui is not the mother of that little master. Looking at his appearance today, his mother seems to be someone else."
"On our grasslands, countless tribes have been exterminated. Just like my mother's mother tribe, isn't it powerless to face the annexation of various tribes and tribes?"
The second prince knew that there was something wrong with Xiao Shui, but he was not afraid.
He turned to look at Qiu Lin and said: "I promoted you with my own hands. You did a good job last time. When I marry Attiya as my wife, you can take the place of Corpse Zhu. You have to remember , Firstly, forbearance can be exchanged for greater glory, as long as you have the strength, any conspiracy and trick is out of the question!"
"Thank you, Prince, for teaching me. I understand." Qiu Lin lowered his head in shame. It turned out that the second prince knew what he was thinking.
The second prince nodded with satisfaction, stood with his hands behind his back, looked into the distance and said: "Attiya will also come this time, be prepared, I must capture her this time!"
"Yes!" Qiu Lin nodded seriously, and then quickly retreated.
Back at the inn, Wen Qingzhu saw Tu Dan as soon as he entered the courtyard.
He was standing in the yard, his eyes were still red, and the tears on his face were not dry. Feitian was persuading him.
Wen Qingzhu paused to collect himself, then quickly walked over and called him: "Tudan."
Tudan turned around and saw Wen Qingzhu. Tears welled up in his eyes again. He jumped directly into his words and choked up: "Sister! I saw my mother! I really saw her! She was captured by bad guys! I want to save her. , but I can’t catch up!”
Wen Qingzhu touched his head and said nothing.
I'm afraid the idiot mother will really show up this time.
After resting for a while, Wen Qingzhu took Tu Dan in to rest.
After thinking for a while, she took out the handkerchief holding the old knot, opened it and handed it to him to see: "Look at this, is it your mother's?"
In an instant, Tu Dan's eyes widened.
Wen Qingzhu's eyebrows darkened, it seemed that she was really Tudan's biological mother.
Tudan reached out and took the Luozi, and cried loudly, crying so heartbreakingly that his heart ached.
Wen Qingzhu hugged him gently, and it took him a long time to comfort him.
Tudan held the handkerchief tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "This is my mother's thing. It belongs to her. I won't remember it wrong. This was when my mother and my father got married. My mother beat my father. Yes, my father died, and my mother has always carried this with her."
"That's fine." Wen Qingzhu wiped his tears and asked, "Tell me, where did you see your mother twice? What exactly happened?"
Tudan nodded and told her everything that happened before.
If Wen Qingzhu didn't understand something, he asked again and again in detail.
Until she couldn't find anything out in the end, she asked Zuo Binning to take care of Tudan and sleep.
She turned around and went out, looked at He Lai and said, "Do you want to make up for it?"
