Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

The prefect did not immediately summon Gu Yanran and the Zhenguo Duke's office. Instead, he sent people to a certain place to look for the Gu family and the bandits. He wanted to understand the situation. After the situation was clear, he would summon the Zhenguo Duke's office. It’s not too late to wait.

In addition to sending people to An Ran to find out the situation, the prefect also sent people to quietly check on the situation of the Zhenguo Palace and Gu Yanran and others to see what their current situation was.

In the end, it was discovered that the Gu family was not dead and was even preparing for a wedding. However, the horses ridden by the bandits were found in the village, and the dead bodies of the bandits were found on a certain mountain top - that was when An Ran saw that Wang Mazi was dead. If they don't come, they release the body of the bandit. After all, it is not easy to keep it in the space. Although it is stationary in the space, the blood will not continue to flow and will not pollute other places in the space, but the space contains eight A corpse is quite disgusting, so of course I can get rid of it if I can.

The situation on the Gu family side did not surprise the prefect, because Wang Mazi wrote in his diary that the people on the Gu family side were suspected to have been rescued by a queen, and the queen even asked him to return to Beijing to investigate the murderer.

It was after reading his investigation results that the prefect found out that the murderer was Gu Yanran and that he had blackmailed Gu Yanran.

Now that the other party has disappeared, the prefect feels that it is probably related to this threat, and the Zhenguo government will probably take care of him.

The reason why it was said that it was the Duke of Zhen who took care of it, not that Gu Yanran took care of it, because the prefect felt that judging from Wang Mazi's records, Gu Yanran had average abilities and did not look like someone who could deal with Wang Mazi, so Wang Mazi should It was the Duke of Zhen who took care of him.

Of course, this is just his guess, and it is possible that Prince Zhongguo took care of it. However, Prince Zhongguo is too young and may not be able to handle it well, so it is more likely that Duke Zhenguo is responsible.

As for the situation of Gu Yanran and the Zhenguo Duke and others, the confidants sent by the prefect to investigate came back and said that Gu Yanran and the Zhenguo Duke were very anxious and seemed to be looking for something, but there was nothing about Zhongguo Gongzi and Zhongguo Gong. This fact also confirmed his guess. Obviously, the person who helped Gu Yanran deal with Wang Mazi should be the Duke of Zhen.

At the same time, the prefect immediately realized that what the two men were looking for was probably the kind of thing that would reveal what they had done.

Could it be this diary? !

Isn't it? They can completely deny this and say that it was framed by others. After all, the evidence is not conclusive at all. After all, who would regard a person's diary as evidence.

What could it be that makes them so afraid?

The prefect discussed the matter with his confidants who knew the situation before.

"How should we deal with this matter? Should we directly call Duke Zhen and Miss Gu for questioning? Or should we collect evidence first, and then arrest them directly after the evidence is conclusive?"

The confidant hurriedly said: "I think the latter one is good. After all, this record is just a record, not any special evidence. I will call Duke Zhen and Miss Gu for questioning. As long as they refuse to admit it, we will kill them." There is nothing we can do about them. On the contrary, we will only alert them. If they don’t do anything in the future, then we won’t be able to find out anything about them. At most, it will only make them have a bad reputation, without any substantial blow.”

"But how can we make the evidence conclusive? No more evidence has been found now."

The confidant said: "Why not spread the news about the survival of the Gu family and the fake daughter to Miss Gu's ears? If the other party hears that the Gu family is alive and strikes again, then she can be caught and revealed. .”

This man actually thought of An Ran together, which saved An Ran some trouble.

After listening to the advice of his confidant, the magistrate couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is a good idea. If this record is false, Miss Gu has not done such a thing. I heard that the Gu family is not dead, so there shouldn't be anything strange. In response, we will not take revenge again; on the contrary, if it is true, we may take action again."

"Your Excellency is wise! Otherwise, just do it like this?"

The prefect nodded and said: "Try this method first. If they stop, we will find another way to detect the case. If they stop, we can catch him."

Just do what you said, and the prefect immediately spread the news to Gu Yanran's ears that the Gu family was not dead but had been rescued.

How to get rid of this rumor? It's simple. I bought a servant from the Gu family and came to the capital. When someone in the Zhongguo Palace was buying a servant, they let him in. When someone in the Zhongguo Palace heard that the other party came from the hometown of his young mistress, He couldn't help but ask about Gu Yanran's adoptive parents.

The man naturally talked about how the Gu family was doing at the moment.

In fact, even if no one takes the initiative to ask, this person will take the initiative to say it under arrangement.

The reason why the prefect only sent people to let the rumor reach Gu Yanran's ears, but not to the ears of the Duke of Zhen, is also very simple. Firstly, the Duke of Zhen is very cunning, and it is easy for him to see through the little tricks he plays, so it is useless. ; Secondly, it is Gu Yanran who hates the Gu family. Hearing that the Gu family is not dead, he might make trouble for the Gu family again. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about her daughter killing someone now. It is impossible to kill the Gu family again, so if she wants to lure the snake out of the hole, she can only put the wind in Gu Yanran's ears.

The magistrate's method was obviously effective. The magistrate was pleased to see that after he did this, Gu Yanran had new news.

But it was said that Gu Yanran and Zhen Guogong and his wife were still worried about Wang Mazi's backup for a while. They didn't know that someone reported Wang Mazi's disappearance to the Yamen. The Yamen had already opened the case, and they were worried. Before the wave calmed down, another wave arose. When she heard the news, Gu Yanran's face suddenly changed color.

is this real? If it's true, she worked hard for a long time and spent so much money, but it didn't work?

This is naturally not what she wants to hear. After all, once Gu Anran survives, if something like that happens to her like in her previous life and she becomes more developed, wouldn't she be angry to death?

No, the hard life of her previous life cannot be wasted, and she must not let Gu Anran live a better life!

But first, let’s see if this is true.

So Gu Yanran immediately sent someone to the Gu family to check on the situation.

Of course, depending on the situation, things like this are fair and square, so she can directly send her servants to check it out. The excuse is also ready. If anyone asks, she will say that it is her former adoptive parents' home, and she misses it a little. Plus I heard that the fake daughter was getting married, so I sent someone to check it out.

In order to show that she missed her, she even asked someone to bring something back. Although it wasn't much, at least it was meaningful.

Soon, people sent by Gu Yanran arrived at the Gu family and found that the Gu family was indeed fine, and the fake daughter was indeed getting married.

Immediately, he gave them the things Gu Yanran got, saying that they were gifts from Gu Yanran after hearing about it.
