Chapter 632 Transfer

Gao Jin returned to the Meng Mansion after midnight. He went to see Meng Renping first.

After answering some of Meng Renping's questions and getting Meng Renping's consent, he went to the second gate, handed some copper coins to the gatekeeper, and asked the gatekeeper to help pass a message to Taichen Courtyard.

The gatekeeper at the second gate was familiar with the gatekeepers at other courtyards and was agile. She came back in a few moments and said to Gao Jin, "I'll let you in, but only for a little while. Don't stay for long."

Gao Jin thanked him repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

It was not at night that he entered the backyard. Gao Jin was very experienced and had experience in dealing with the gatekeepers. After entering the backyard, he just walked straight, without looking around or rushing around, and went directly to Taichen Courtyard.

The old woman guarding the gate of Taichen Courtyard was already waiting in front of the gate. When she saw Gao Jin, she said, "Aunt Shangchun is just inside the gate. I will lead you in and wait for you to come out."

"Thank you." Gao Jin was very sensible and stuffed another handful of copper coins into the gatekeeper's pocket at Taichen Courtyard.

The gatekeeper smiled with her old eyes curved: "You're welcome!"

Aunt Shangchun was standing under the veranda on the left side of the courtyard waiting. When the gatekeeper brought Gao Jin in with a smile, she understood what was going on and curled her lips.

"Aunt Shangchun." Gao Jin knew that Shangchun was in charge of all the affairs of Taichen Courtyard. The most important thing was that Shangchun was the housekeeper whom Meng Shisan trusted. Every time he came, he would be addressed with respect.

"Follow me." Shangchun nodded and said kindly.

She also had a very good impression of Gao Jin. After all, Gao Jin was sensible and capable, and could help Meng Shisan with many things, so she naturally looked up to him.

Meng Shisan was still thinking about how Li Shou liked her so much that he wanted to marry her, and was worried about the matter of the Crown Princess, so she had not fallen asleep yet. She was sitting in the corridor of Mingxiao Hall, leaning against a pillar and daydreaming. When she heard Gao Jin coming back from work, she asked Shangchun, who was standing beside her, to bring Gao Jin in.

When Shangchun brought Gao Jin to the porch in front of Mingxiao Hall, Baozhu had already brewed some fragrant tea, and Jinyin had also served two plates of easy-to-eat snacks.

Meng Shisan was still sitting in a chair on the porch, half leaning back, eating snacks and drinking tea.

As soon as Gao Jin arrived, she asked Jin Yin to serve the snacks that had just been brought out from the small kitchen to Gao Jin to try.

"Thank you for your consideration, Miss. I have already eaten outside." Gao Jin said truthfully with a flushed face. Although he was almost drooling at the plate of plum-shaped pastries in front of him, he really couldn't eat any more at the moment.

Meng Shisan saw the greed in Gao Jin's eyes and told Jin Yin, "Add two more plates of snacks and pack them together with this one. Let Gao Jin take them back later."

"Yes." Jin Yin accepted the order, turned around and went back to the small kitchen to get some snacks.

"Thank you, Miss!" Gao Jin thanked.

"Have we found any clues about the two witnesses provided by Mr. Cui Qi?" Meng Shisan got to the point right away.

Gao recently wanted to report this matter as well: "There is some progress. I have placed them together in a safe place. That place was requested by the young master from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince some time ago. It is within the sphere of influence that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can fully control, and it is very safe."

There was no need for Meng Shisan to ask whether the place was safe or not. Gao Jin reported it directly. She nodded with satisfaction and asked something else: "Do they agree to be witnesses?"

"There is a prerequisite. As long as we can guarantee and fulfill the prerequisite, both of them agree to serve as witnesses." Gao Jin has done many things like this for Meng Renping in the past, and now he is familiar with it.

"What are you worried about?" Meng Shisan asked.

Takakita said, "As long as we can ensure the safety of their families, they will be fine."

"Then their families..."

"Can't find it."

Meng Shisan was not surprised to hear this answer: "I think they were transferred away...but have you found out who they were?" Gao Jin could also think that the families of the two witnesses might have been transferred away in order to threaten the two witnesses. So after failing to find their families, he also asked his men to cast a wide net to look for them.

However, it was not found.

"I am useless. I couldn't even find a clue." Gao Jin lowered his head.

"It was unintentional. If nothing is found, it cannot be blamed on you." Meng Shisan said with great understanding.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jin lowered his head even lower.

Meng Shisan asked again: "After investigating the collapse of the lamp mountain, are there any other breakthroughs?"

If the two of them find that they cannot make a breakthrough here, then she can only start from other aspects.

Gao Jin thought for a moment and replied, "Miss, I have found something. I wonder if it can be considered a breakthrough."

"You said."

"While I was monitoring the collapse of the lantern mountain, I noticed a person who appeared several times. I checked that person, but did not find anything suspicious."

Meng Shisan asked: "I didn't find anything suspicious, but your intuition still feels that there is something suspicious?"

"Yes." This is what Gao Jin meant.

"Tell me in detail, what is it about that person that makes you feel suspicious?" Meng Shisan asked Gao Jin to elaborate.

Gao Jin immediately answered in detail: "It is like this..."

By the time Gao Jin left the backyard and returned to the front yard, it was already dark.

He returned to Jianfengyuan with three packs of hot snacks. He first went to the tea room and made himself a pot of tea. Then he walked to Meng Renping's dormitory and shared the snacks given by Meng Shisanshang with Gao Yuan who was still on duty.

They sat on the ground and ate with relish.

With Meng Shisan's advice and Guo Rong's approval, Shi Lianchun shamelessly followed Guo Rong into the Guo Mansion that day.

After learning about Shi Lianchun's purpose, Guo Rong's mother's face instantly turned ugly.

Although Shi Lianchun was timid and naive, she was more sensitive because she lived in the Lu Mansion. When she saw the sudden change in Guo Rong's mother's face, her face also turned pale.

Seeing this, Guo Rong couldn't help but protect Shi Lianchun. Just as she was about to say a few more words for Shi Lianchun, her mother pulled her into the flower hall next door without saying a word.

Soon, the sound of Guo Rong being scolded could be heard from the hall.

When Shi Lianchun heard Guo Rong's mother scolding Guo Rong for being ignorant and causing trouble for Guo Rong's father, she was so desperate that she almost couldn't stand.

When he left Guo's house again, the golden crow had already set in the west.

Guo Rong personally escorted Shi Lianchun out and said to her with tears in her eyes: "Chunchun, don't be sad. Wait until my father comes back and I will ask him for mercy. My mother doesn't understand anything either..."

"Arong." Shi Lian interrupted Guo Rong's assurance in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.

Guo Rong became quiet and looked at her best friend without saying a word.

Shi Lianchun paused for a long time, wiped the tears from her face, and then slowly said, "Arong, thank you, thank you so much."
