Chapter 480: Never Lose, Never Forget
"You've got the wrong person. My last name is not Yelu. My last name is Li, Li Laozhuang, and my family lives in a village 20 miles outside the city."

The hunter is still holding on.

Gu Shiliu laughed wildly, "Li Laozhuang, hahaha, if it was someone else I might admit my mistake, but you... I definitely won't admit my mistake."

Gu Shiba smiled secretly, then quickly put away his smile and stared at the hunter with a stern face.

Yelu Xianyong was the most courageous general beside Yelu Guzha, but he was extremely ugly and anyone who had seen him would never forget him.

The hunter was about to argue when he suddenly heard the sound of a whip breaking through the air. He lowered his head but still failed to dodge.

The tightly wrapped headscarf was removed, revealing her face completely.

There is nothing more to say now.

"I, I just have one question, how did you know it was me?"

Yelu Xianyong couldn't figure it out.

Gu Shiba was about to answer when Gu Shiliu said, "Just tell me what you need to tell me, and I'll tell you."

Gu Shiba quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

That was a close call, I almost said it out loud.

"If you want to kill me, kill me. If you want to cut me up, cut me up. I have nothing to say." Yelu Xianyong was ready to die.

Gu Shiliu smiled and said, "Wait until you stay for two days. It's easy to come but hard to leave."

He waved his hand and ordered, "Take him away and take good care of my old acquaintance in Saibei."

"Got it, Brother Sixteen."

Several guards dragged Yelu Xianyong away with a smile.

Gu Shiba was still in shock and said, "Thank goodness Madam has a keen nose and could tell something was wrong right away. She is also very thoughtful and meticulous, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to catch him so easily."

If this person is alarmed, it will be difficult to catch him.

It was a great achievement to capture Yelu Xianyong without any effort.

Gu Shiliu said with a smile: "Madam's ability is beyond our reach."

Then he glanced at Gu Shiba and said, "It seems that we should use our brains more in the future. Otherwise, we have sent Yelu Xianyong to our doorstep and let him escape. If we let him succeed, I don't know how they will laugh at our incompetence behind our backs."

Gu Shiba was stunned for a moment, then said, "Who doesn't want to use their brain? But you also need to have the ability to use it, right? I know I'm stupid, so I just need to do the things that smart people ask me to do."

In this respect, I am much better than many people.

Gu Shiliu had nothing to say.

Gu Shiba asked again, "Why did you catch up with us only now? We have been waiting for you at the city gate for at least half an hour, and General Jin and the others are still waiting in the temple?"

Gu Shiliu said, "We ordered people to tie up and interrogate the monks and Taoist priests that Madam pointed out. We dug up all the dirt in the dry well and searched the collapsed house again. We only found this."

As he spoke, he took out a small gold ornament from his body. On it were engraved the words "Never Lose, Never Forget". There was also a small logo at the end, which looked like some kind of animal.

The carving is exquisite and looks very valuable.

Gu Shiba asked: "Could it be a woman?"

"I don't know," Gu Shiliu said, "I don't know where the other bones are. We have to look for them again. I can't tell from just this one. It's possible that it belongs to a man."

Then this gold ornament might have been given by his lover, so he always carried it with him.

Gu Shiba gasped: "It's not certain that this person died in that yard, but his head was thrown into the dry well?"

Gu Shiliu said: "The silk has all rotted, and there are other bones as well, but they can't piece together a person." "Hiss..."

Gu Shiba frowned.

This is even scarier.

Is this still dismemberment?
How much resentment must one have towards the dead person to treat him like this?
"…Then…do we still need to tell the Madam?"

It’s so scary…women are all timid.

Gu Shiliu disagreed and said, "Of course I have to tell her. Madam is not an ordinary lady. I have reported this to the Marquis, and he asked me to report it to the Jingzhao Yinfu and ask them to send someone to investigate. Now I am afraid that General Jin is still guarding outside the temple with his soldiers, and not even a fly can fly out of the temple."

……

Since returning home, Gu Baozhu has been staying in Wutong Garden and refused to leave.

"Good Third Sister-in-law, we two are the best in the world. You have to help me. I can't let mother beat me again and make me kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment."

Qin Yuan was helpless: "If you don't change your clothes and go see mother, Rong Mama will have already made the complaint."

Gu Baozhu said: "She and mother are in cahoots. No matter how fast I am, I can't be faster than her mouth."

Qin Yuan said: "Then I will change my clothes and go to see the old lady. What about you?"

Gu Baozhu hesitated: "...Then I..."

Qin Yuan said, "You don't have to worry so much. Have you forgotten that the Xu family's child picked up a skull in the ancestral temple? I'm afraid the old lady can't take care of you."

"But, but, you can't avoid the fifteenth day if you can avoid it."

Gu Baozhu looked pitiful.

"What's eleven? What's fifteen? Gu Baozhu, what did you do again?"

Lord Gu's voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Baozhu was so frightened that she screamed a lot. After she finished screaming, she realized that the couple was standing hand in hand affectionately.

If she hadn't been there, I'm afraid we would have hugged each other.

Gu Baozhu felt bored: "... Third brother, why are you coming back here if you are not doing important work in the government office?"

Lord Gu said, "Madam was attacked by the Yelu clan on her way back from the ancestral temple. If this isn't a big deal, then what is?"

"The Yelu clan? An attack?"

Gu Baozhu said in a daze: "How come I don't know anything? Third brother, are you mistaken? I came back with my sister-in-law, and we were sitting in the same carriage."

Lord Gu sighed, "Gu Baozhu, sometimes the difference between people is not just in their names, not just in their clothes, not just in their conversation and knowledge, but also in their brains. On your way back, you didn't know that your third sister-in-law caught Yelu Xianyong without making a sound, right? He was the most brave general beside Yelu Guzha."

Gu Baozhu opened her mouth wide and took a long time to close it.

"You, you, are you talking about that hunter? Is it Yelu Xianyong?"

But no one paid any attention to her.

Qin Yuan has gone to the bathroom to change clothes.

Lord Gu was walking around the room leisurely with his hands behind his back, humming a tune. Gu Baozhu knew that her third brother was in a very good mood at the moment, and suddenly she remembered a saying - A short absence is better than a new marriage.

Then he thought to himself, "Didn't they say that my third brother's thing was not good enough? Maybe it's fake."

Lord Gu felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he asked, "What did you ask your third sister-in-law to do just now? Did you do something in the ancestral temple?"

Gu Baozhu said with a guilty conscience, "That's right. At that time, I just thought that if Third Brother encountered such a thing, he would not be afraid and would protect the elderly, children, women and children, so I rushed out. What should I do now? I'm afraid that Mother will blame me. Third Brother, my wounds have only healed for a few days. Am I going to be beaten again?"
