Gu Mansion.
In the past few days, Gu Siyuan's health has almost improved, and he can at least walk back and forth in the yard. However, his body has suffered too much and needs more time to recover.
At this moment, he was sitting in the yard basking in the sun while the afternoon sun was not too harsh.
Suddenly, I heard a boy come to report that a man named Meng Yi was here, and he was waiting to see the head of the Gu family in the front hall.
However, at this time, Gu Zongmin was not at the house, so the servants had no choice but to invite Gu Siyuan to meet the lieutenant general.
Gu Siyuan walked towards the front hall, thinking in his mind, why did Meng Yi come here at this time?
Could it be because of the well salt?
Want a piece of the action too?
That won't work!
This is Ran Fang's business. Even if someone wants to get involved, they must get Ran Fang's consent, otherwise no one can!
Ever since he was rescued by Ran Fang last time, Gu Siyuan's respect for Ran Fang was beyond words.
If his health hadn't allowed him to do so, he would have personally gone to Xianyang Prison to thank Ran Fang.
Just as he was thinking about it, he had already arrived at the front hall. When he walked in, he saluted Meng Yi who was sitting there, "I have seen General Zhonglang."
Meng Yi glanced at Gu Siyuan with some suspicion in his eyes. Did he let a child fool him?
"Where's the head of the Gu family?"
"Why do you let a young boy like you come to see me?"
This was the second time Gu Siyuan had experienced such a thing.
He thought of Ran Fang again. At that time, he was laughed at by Ran Fang because he was trying to be strong. Now that he was looked down upon by Meng Yi, the rebellious spirit in Gu Siyuan's heart came back.
For a while, he didn't have a good attitude towards Meng Yi's words.
Sitting directly on the couch under Meng Yi, he said lightly: "My father is busy with work and has no time to entertain the general, so he asked me to drag my injured body here."
"I wonder what Zhonglang will do with my father?"
From the time he failed to catch Zhang Liang in the morning to the time he came to Gu's house, Meng Yi felt that he had not been having a good time the whole day.
His Majesty is chasing this matter very urgently, but he has no clues at all now. He only needs to investigate some basic information about the man in Xianyang City.
How does this make him go back to work?
When he thought about being punished by His Majesty when he returned, he became even more anxious. He slapped the table with a "snap" and yelled: "What?!"
"What do I want to do, and I still have to talk to you?!"
"Call your father over. I have something to ask him!"
Gu Siyuan was not frightened at all, and looked at him playfully, not worried at all that he would catch him.
He even sat there and drank a cup of tea, frowning slightly and letting out a soft "poof".
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, no wonder Ran Fang said this tea didn't taste good, it really got worse the more he drank it.
"I didn't even notice it after drinking it for so long, but Ran Fang tasted it after just one drink. He's really a genius!"
It has to be said that Gu Siyuan now feels a sense of blind admiration for Ran Fang.
When doing anything, he would always think of following Ran Fang.
Now facing Meng Yi, he also wanted to imitate Ran Fang's calm and gentle atmosphere, and said, "I'm sorry, my father went out to check the accounts today. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back until evening."
"If you don't mind, just wait here."
Meng Yi took a deep breath. If he delayed any longer, he would really be scolded to death by His Majesty.
Thinking about it, he tried his best to control the expression on his face, and his tone was slightly softer, "Where is the head of the Gu family checking the accounts?"
"I can go to him directly."
Gu Siyuan felt uncomfortable with Meng Yi's attitude as soon as he came in. Now even if he softens, he still feels that his tone is still a bit tough, which makes him even more unhappy.
He lowered his head and pretended to think for a moment.
"This... I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly."
"You also know the Gu family's property. He may be in the east of the city now. By the time you get there, he may be in the west of the city. I don't know where he is now."
"How about I give you a route and you can try to catch up?"
Perhaps because he didn't expect Gu Siyuan to be so difficult to deal with, Meng Yi couldn't control the expression on his face and slapped the table with all his strength. In an instant, the table fell apart.
"You are making fun of me!"
Maybe because he didn't expect Meng Yi to have such a bad temper, Gu Siyuan also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He touched the wound on his body with his hand. If he was beaten by Meng Yi now, his father would not be able to give him an explanation.
After all, who doesn't know that when Meng Yi comes out to do things, he does things for His Majesty.
If he really made him anxious, then the Gu family wouldn't be able to protect him. The expression on his face changed again and again, and his expression was really helpless.
"I really don't know. During this time, I am recovering from my injuries at home, and my father is taking care of the Gu family's affairs."
"He went out early in the morning. I really don't know where he went, otherwise I would have told you. I don't even know when he will come back."
"But, you can leave a message. If he comes back, I will ask him to find you. How about that?"
Seeing that he was telling the truth and didn't look like he was lying, Meng Yi's anger dissipated a little.
Sitting there, he glanced at Gu Siyuan and then at the broken table. Thinking about it, he didn't dare to lie to himself anymore.
"Then tell Gu Zongmin that I want news about Zhang Zifang, and he will send it to me as soon as he comes back."
"Zhang Zifang?" Gu Siyuan was a little surprised and muttered the name. He seemed to have heard of it. He was the person who met Ran Fang in Xianyang Prison.
He couldn't help but ask: "May I ask General Zhonglang, what do you want to see this person for?"
"What? You know?"
Meng Yi stood up, glanced at Gu Siyuan disdainfully, and started to leave.
Before he had even taken two steps, he heard Gu Siyuan say, "I think I've heard of him. He's a wine shop owner, right?"
Meng Yi stopped as he was about to go out and turned back to look at Gu Siyuan.
"What else? What else do you know?"
Seeing him like this, Gu Siyuan knew that his guess was correct, that this was really the person.
He thought for a moment, and heard his father mention it in the past few days. This person seemed to be very important to Ran Fang, and now he needs to be investigated by His Majesty.
Should this person be allowed to serve as an official in the court?
"I don't know much. I just heard that he was the owner of a wine shop. At that time, he asked to go to Xianyang Prison to see Ran Fang. My father took the lead in investigating this person."
"I heard that I only came to Xianyang last year, but the wine shop has been there for many years. Everyone thought that the owner had changed, and no one asked."
"But in the first few days of every year, he always seems to go out of town for a while, and I don't know what he is going to do?"
"It's just outside the city in Xishan. There seems to be a Mo family living there."
Meng Yi thought for a while, this person must have laid out a plan in Xianyang City a long time ago and gave himself an official status in Xianyang City, so they did not find out.
His Majesty was assassinated five years ago, but the ovary only came last year. If he was the assassin, where had he been all these years?
Now he suddenly appeared in Xianyang City and went directly to Xianyang City to meet Ran Fang. What is the relationship between Ran Fang and Zhang Zifang?
These are all problems, and the most important thing now involves the Mo family.
"Mo family?"
"What is his relationship with the Mo family?"
Gu Siyuan sat there, shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Then it's up to Zhonglang Jiang to investigate."
