Hearing this, Gong Yuhua shook her head and said, "I wonder why Brother Guan has been missing for so long. It turns out he went to catch a thief. This guy is so bold. He dared to come to my house and set fire to it."
In fact, there are some flaws in Guan Heng's words. If the other party wants to get to the bottom of it, there will inevitably be some things that are difficult to explain away. However, now that Bian Qing and Yuhua are in a hurry to interrogate the captured guy, they have not carefully thought about Guan Heng's words.
"Tell me, who are you?" Bian Qing picked up the opponent's collar, shook his fist and shouted: "You dare to come to the commander's house to cause trouble, you are really impatient."
Gong Yuhua also rolled up her sleeves and shouted: "That's right, if you don't tell me, I'll beat him to death!"
"Cousin, Yuhua, please stop first..."
At this moment, Gongwu, the pale-faced commander of the city guards, came from the inner room with the support of a servant. He first smiled at Guan Heng and said: "Brother Guan, how are you? This is our first formal official meeting." We met, and I heard that you specially sent me some medicine to treat my injuries, thank you very much."
"Oh, my cousin's injury is not healed, so don't come out." Bian Qing said quickly at this time: "We are just dealing with some minor matters."
"No, it's not a trivial matter." Gongwu said to the two servants beside him at this moment: "You go out and close the door."
Seeing this scene, Guan Heng said, "You have something important to discuss, right? Then I'll go back too."
"No, no, I have no intention of hiding this matter from Brother Guan. After all, you are my savior, and you are also a friend of Yuhua, Bian Qing and my cousin. Also, you arrested someone for our city guard. The gangster who kidnapped the woman is enough to prove that Brother Guan is definitely worthy of my trust."
Gongwu said at this time: "Everyone, sit down first, Bian Qing, you sit closer to the door, keep an eye on this prisoner, and pay attention to what's going on outside."
After a slight pause, Gongwu continued: "Because of Brother Guan's elixir, I felt that my situation was very good. Just when I wanted to walk around the room to stretch my body, a man on duty near the palace of the co-lord came over. Good friend, he told me a very important thing, that is, an assassin broke into the palace half an hour ago."
"What?! An assassin has entered the palace?" The most surprised people present were Bian Qing and Yuhua. Guan Heng also showed a stunned expression in order to avoid unnecessary complications.
"Yes, our commander's residence is not far from the outer wall of the palace. It was disrupted and set on fire just now."
Gongwu sighed, and then said: "I'm afraid that the timing is so coincidental, it is very likely to be related to the assassin. If that is the case, our family and the whole family will be dead."
"Wait a minute." When Guan Heng saw that the time was right, he immediately said with a sudden change of heart: "Brother Gongwu is saying that those assassins may have borrowed a way to enter the palace from the Commander's Mansion?"
"This young man is really attentive. Fortunately he is our friend, otherwise I would have had a headache."
Gongwu thought that Guan Heng came to this conclusion because he listened to his own words, and couldn't help but secretly admire him. How did he know that Guan Heng simply followed the three assassins into the co-lord's palace.
"Listening to what you said, I suddenly remembered something." Guan Heng said at this time: "I accidentally heard Yuhua say before that when she was young, she and several maids would occasionally get through the hole in the wall and run to the common house. Playing over there in the main palace, Yuhua, is there such a thing?"
"Yes, you didn't want to inquire at that time..."
Hearing this, Gong Yuhua almost said the words "Bronze-ribbed Qiu-eyed Beast" at the end, but she suddenly remembered that she couldn't talk about this matter with her brother, and at this time, Guan Heng and Bian Qing both meant a lot. Glancing at her, Yuhua immediately swallowed the second half of her words.
"Brother Guan, what do you mean?"
"Yes." Guan Heng saw a trace of anxiety flashing in Gongwu's eyes, and immediately replied: "I think, since even Jade Flower as a child can get through the hole in the wall and reach the palace, those assassins will naturally have the same possibility, right? , Yuhua, do you still remember where the hole in the wall was when you were a child?"
"Oh, I went there to play for the last time when I was fourteen, but my brother found me when I came back and beat me severely."
At this time, Yuhua glanced at Gongwu timidly, and then whispered: "Later, my eldest brother sent people to completely seal the hole in the wall. In recent years, many rooms have been built in the mansion. I can't remember the details for a long time." location."
"Well, you have to rely on me to guide you now." Guan Heng thought, and then said to Bian Qing and Gongwu: "The house was in such chaos just now, did you find any servants or maids missing? According to my explanation, If someone really disappears at this time, they are either killed or..."
After all, those two people were also the chief and deputy commanders of the city guards. After Guan Heng's prompting, they immediately said in unison: "If they are not killed, they are fellow assassins!"
"Well... let me think about it." Bian Qing was just responsible for leading everyone to put out the fire and put order in the house. He thought for a moment and said immediately: "Yes, the manager once said that the cook in the house suddenly disappeared. Right Yes, only him."
Bian Qing said in his heart: "Apart from the cook, the only one left is Guan Heng. I didn't see him just now, but Guan Heng is trustworthy, and he is going to catch a thief, so there is no need to doubt him." So he didn't say this. The remarks.
"That's right, Bian Qing, hurry up and see what's wrong with the kitchen." Guan Heng said anxiously: "I think, with the chaos and fire in the Commander's Mansion just now, plus the assassins breaking into the palace, there might be a problem with It doesn’t matter where the kitchen is.”
As soon as Guan Heng said these words, he had already vaguely pointed out that the kitchen was very likely to have a "secret path" to the palace of the co-lord. This statement was like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing the heads of the three siblings Gongwu, Yuhua and Bian Qing to buzz. , if this is true and is discovered by the co-owner or other people with ulterior motives, it will be a capital crime for the whole family.
Because after all, the assassins sneaked into the palace through the commander's mansion. It is impossible to argue that Gongwu, the commander of the city guards, was an accomplice of the assassins.
Seeing that the three people were stunned for a moment, Guan Heng immediately whispered: "Bian Qing, what are you still doing? Go to the kitchen and take a look."
This was the second time Guan Heng used the word "kitchen" accurately. Gongwu next to him suddenly woke up and said immediately: "Cousin, go quickly. If there is really a problem, remember to find some reliable people to wipe out the traces first. go."
This is the shrewdness of Gongwu. In any case, as the head of the family, he must first find a way to cover up the matter and not let the co-owner know, so that the whole family will be safe.
"Yes." Bian Qing opened the door and ran out as fast as he could.
Another thing that Gongwu thought of at this time was that Guan Heng knew too much and he had to tie this person to himself. At least the two parties could not become enemies. Otherwise, Guan Heng only had to tilt his mouth. If something leaks out, his whole family will be destroyed.
