My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 444 Where to find clues?
Mr. Songshan looked at Lord Gu and clapped his hands, saying, "Yes, Master Nantang has seen this level, it is indeed true."

Lord Gu nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yuan humbly asked: "I heard that there is a deeper meaning, sir?"

Mr. Songshan smiled and said, “That’s natural.”

Qin Yuan thought about it and smiled: "I'm afraid this is not the right time to talk about it."

Mr. Songshan nodded.

"It all depends on whether it's a coincidence. It would be bad to reveal it too early. Whether it works or not depends on how things develop."

Qin Yuan stopped talking and lowered his head to drink tea.

The two Gu brothers were watching them playing charades from the side, and they felt from the bottom of their hearts that how could intellectuals be so abominable!
half an hour.

Qin Yuan put down the teacup and asked, "Didn't you ask me to come here to discuss something? Why don't you say anything now that I'm here?"

Mr. Songshan said: "You can discuss this only if you see this level, otherwise what are we discussing?"

Qin Yuan just laughed.

Cui Ming came over and added tea for everyone.

Qin Yuan asked: "May I ask if it is possible to discuss it now?"

Mr. Songshan said leisurely: "Although it is not a secret, I feel that the secret should not be passed on to others, so the secret is the key to success."

The implication is that Mr. Gu Liu and Cui Ming are getting in the way here.

Master Gu Liu was speechless, and stood up angrily and said, "In that case, I will not disturb your private conversation."

You can’t understand it here anyway, so let’s leave this blessing to the third brother alone.

Master Gu Liu looked at his third brother deeply.

Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "Cui Ming is waiting outside. We are going to discuss important matters, but Sixth Master, you don't have to leave. I have something here that is also related to you."

Cui Ming responded and walked out gracefully.

Mr. Gu Liu paused, but did not sit down immediately. He just looked at Mr. Songshan half-sitting.

Seeing that Mr. Songshan had no objection, he sat down.

Mr. Songshan asked curiously, "What big event is related to Master Liu?"

Qin Yuan said: "I think Mr. Songshan also knows about Zhao's affairs. Speaking of which, this matter is also somewhat related to Mr. Songshan."

"Oh?"

Mr. Matsuyama was even more surprised.

Lord Gu waited quietly for his young wife to speak.

Qin Yuan said solemnly, "The two children of the Zhao family were adopted by the elder brother Cheng in the clan. They now live in the courtyard next door. The Marquis brought them to have dinner with you last time."

Mr. Matsuyama nodded, indicating that he remembered it.

Qin Yuan added, "Now the two children have not yet hired a teacher, and the Sixth Master's children have returned from the Imperial College to observe mourning at home. We can't let them neglect their studies. I was thinking that if Mr. Songshan is free, would he be willing to help teach the children?"

Mr. Songshan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Since I want to accept Sixth Master as my disciple, I can also teach his children. However, there is still a law of affinity between people. If we don't get along, I can't delay the children. I have to find someone else who is compatible with me to teach them."

Master Gu Liu hurriedly said with a smile: "Thank you, Master. Of course."

Mr. Songshan glanced at Lord Gu and said, "As for Pang Cheng and Pang Yu, I can't teach them. I noticed when we had dinner together last time. These two kids are a bit wild and I'm afraid they won't be able to accept my control. It's better for Pang Cheng to learn martial arts. As for Pang Yu, he can learn to read and write with him, but there's no need to teach him more advanced knowledge."

Qin Yuan waited for a while, and seeing that Gu Jinghui had nothing to say, she said, "Then ask my father to recommend a few teachers." Gu Jinghui said, "Then I'll trouble Madam and Master Taishan."

Qin Yuan said: "Sister-in-law Cheng owes me a favor for this matter."

Mr. Gu Liu just looked at Mr. Gu Hou and smiled.

Lord Gu said, "Madam did this for my sake, and I appreciate it in my heart."

Mr. Matsuyama smiled and nodded.

"Is that all?"

Qin Yuan continued, "Sister-in-law Cheng came home today and told me something. The emperor wants to hold a big birthday party for the queen mother, so the Wucheng Military Department will conduct a strict check on the household and business registers. Brother Cheng asked her to bring a message, asking if we can use this to check the whereabouts of Zhao and Xu Zhen."

Master Gu Liu immediately said, "Of course we want it. Our mansion will pay for it. If Xu Zhen can be found, the knot between the Xu and Gu families will be resolved."

Lord Gu pressed his thumb, making a clicking sound, and it was obvious that he was very uneasy.

Mr. Songshan pondered for a moment and said, "It is too easy to hide people in the capital. Even the Five Cities Army is not allowed to go to some places."

Master Gu Liu asked, "What is that place?"

Mr. Songshan said, "That's why they say that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. This is something that you, a young man, don't know. I'm afraid you will never think of it in your lifetime."

Gu Liuye smiled and said, "After all, I grew up in the capital, and I have been to many places."

Because Qin Yuan was present, he couldn't say it out loud.

He had also been to many brothels and other places of high culture.

Mr. Songshan rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I hadn't asked around along the way, I wouldn't have known that the drainage canals in the capital are so deep and wide, and that there are many homeless people who take shelter there. In addition, there are gangs of ruffians who use those places as their hideouts. These are all things that the Wucheng Bingmasi and the Ministry of Works can investigate with a little effort."

Gu Liuye exclaimed: "The sewer? It's dirty and smelly there, how can someone hide there?"

Qin Yuan said: "I have heard people say that thieves broke into the treasury through the drainage channel and stole."

"and after?"

"Later... the thief climbed in because he was hungry and thin. He carried the gold bricks out, but when he was passing through the pipe, he ran out of energy and hit his head. He died inside."

Mr. Gu Liu sighed for a long time.

Gu Jinghui glanced at Qin Yuan, picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "This can be solved. Please ask the Ditch Division of the Ministry of Works to bring people to dredge and clear the silt. I can send soldiers from my camp to help search."

Qin Yuan nodded: "Yes, there must be guilds of beggars and porters in the capital who are responsible for cleaning up the filth on the streets, or associations of street cleaners who are responsible for maintaining the ditches. They should know a lot."

Gu Jinghui nodded, secretly amazed.

The young wife knew more about these things than he did, and did not look like a lady who grew up in a boudoir at all.

Mr. Gu Liu was shocked.

Mr. Songshan said quietly, "There are also places that we cannot go to, for example, some kidnappers have backers. Brothels, theaters, and tile houses are all places where goods are sold. If there is no intelligence, it is useless to just search the door. If the rich and powerful hide someone in the mansion, it will be useless even if the household registration is checked."

Everyone fell silent.

After half a cup of tea, Master Gu Liu said, "We have to look for it anyway... otherwise... otherwise..."

Gu Jinghui said: “Of course I have to look for it.”

Mr. Gu Liu pricked up his ears to listen to the second half of the sentence, but received nothing.

Qin Yuan suddenly said, "Mr. Songshan just told me that it is difficult to find the hiding places of kidnappers and dignitaries, but it will be easy if we have the tip-off."

Master Gu Liu sat up straight and asked, "Where can we find clues?"
