Chapter 173: Mystery

The matter is relatively old, it really happened a long time ago.

The room was very quiet. They were drinking tea or grooming their pets, and no one could speak to urge them.

They are partners. If Gongsun Yuchen is willing to talk, they will listen and work with him to find a solution. If he is not willing to talk, then they will not ask and wait until he is willing to speak.

Gongsun Yuchen said: "Actually, there is nothing to say. I was still very young at the time. I vaguely remember that my father suddenly came back in a hurry one day, and then he had a quarrel with my mother."

Back then, the Gongsun family was rising from a humble family. Mr. Gongsun himself was outstanding in ability, and he managed to accumulate a huge family fortune and make many friends.

Gongsun Yuchen said: "My parents have a very good relationship. In my memory, they have never quarreled. The quarrel that year shocked everyone in the house."

Gongsun Jinwei nodded, she seemed to remember this.

Gongsun Yuchen said: "Yes, it was this time that we had a quarrel. Mother took you back to your grandfather's house."

Gongsun Jinwei nodded and asked, "What next?"

Gongsun Yuchen said: "Dad had a bad temper at that time. He often locked himself in the house to drink without seeing anyone. Suddenly one day, a guest from Gongsun's house came to visit, and dad and that person were staying in the study.

It took a long time, and there were even quarrels."

Gongsun Yuchen, who was six or seven years old, was left alone in Gongsun's mansion by his mother. He looked independent and strong on the outside, but in fact he was very scared inside, especially since his mother left for several days and never came back.

Gongsun Yuchen was afraid, but he didn't know what to do. The child's simple thought was that if his mother was not in the house, he would go find his father. Then whenever he had time every day, he would stay outside the study.

Gongsun Yuchen personally witnessed the quarrel and also saw the figure leaving, with hurried steps and an angry look on his face.

One day later, Mr. Gongsun went to fetch the lady back. The matter was over like this. Madam and Mr. Gongsun reconciled. The servants in Gongsun's house and the two young masters were very happy.

Gongsun Yuchen said: "Ning'er, after hearing your words today, I finally remembered that the pharmacist looks familiar to me. I must have met him at that time."

It was difficult for Gongsun Yuchen to remember the chance encounter back then and still recognize the pharmacist after so many years.

Gongsun Yuchen smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to forget someone like him once you've seen him."

Everyone thought for a while and decided that what Gongsun Yuchen said was reasonable. The pharmacist had a sharp words, a gloomy temperament, and an unlucky look on his body. It was indeed not easy to forget.

Jiang Ningxuan tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and regular sounds echoed throughout the room. It turned out that this matter also involved grudges from her previous life.

So far, things have been basically figured out, but there are still more mysteries waiting for them.

Duanmuwen said carefully: "How did the pharmacist know our itinerary?"

Mo Xingyuan said worriedly: "How did the pharmacist recognize you two brothers and sisters when things are over in such a hurry?"

When adults grow up, their appearance and body shape will not change much, but children are different. Not to mention more than ten years, even a few years later, unfamiliar people will not recognize them when they see them.

These mysteries come one after another, all of which are unsolved.

Gongsun Yuchen struggled to explain: "I thought about it for a long time. When that man came to see my father, I only met him once, and he didn't see me."

Gongsun Jinwei grabbed her brother's hand, feeling surprised, angry, and finally worried.

Gongsun Jinwei turned to look at Jiang Ningxuan and asked: "Ning'er, did he tell us how he recognized us and what was the purpose of arresting us?"

Jiang Ningxuan said: "He said he would use your blood to make medicine."

Gongsun Yuchen asked: "Who ordered it?"

Jiang Ningxuan shook his head. He didn't tell anyone about this. Yue Wei tried his best and failed to find out the truth.

At this point, it seems that they have solved a conspiracy, but what lies before everyone is more mysteries.

Gongsun Yuchen said: "Sister, I plan to return to my hometown after returning to my master's door and handing in my mission."

Gongsun Jinwei nodded, naturally she wanted to go back with her brother.

Mo Xingyuan said: "Take me with you and go together."

Gongsun Yuchen was very moved.

Jiang Ningxuan said: "Go back to the teacher's gate first."

Inside the Yamen, in the study.

The old man who was dealing with official documents heard a movement outside the house, and a box was thrown in through the open window.

"Who is that?" the guard yelled, looking around but not finding any deliberate figure, looking around with wary eyes.

"Stop looking for it."

"Sir...ok."

Looking at the letter in his hand, he landed on the seal on the last page. He hurriedly looked through the official documents on the bookshelf and found what he wanted. Of course, it was exactly the same.

He took a breath and turned over the things that were brought to him. His vision went dark and he wanted to faint.

It's over, it's all over!

Outside the house, hurried footsteps sounded, and the guards came to report that many people had been thrown outside the Yamen, with ropes tied around their bodies, and a note on their back with their names written on it.

The guard said: "My lord, I don't know who is so bold and dares to openly challenge your majesty. I will take someone to check."

"No!" said a panicked voice, with a sharp voice, "You all stop, don't move around, get back."

The sharp sound made the people standing outside the house jump and all looked at the master.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" asked a concerned voice.

"Stop, don't move." The people in the room shouted again, and rushed out in a hurry. Seeing that the government servants were still there, they felt relieved, their bodies softened, and they held on to the door frame and sat down little by little.

Is your lord possessed by evil spirits?

"Come back and tell me clearly, what's outside the Yamen?" He casually called the person standing next to him and asked.

The called yamen officer explained the situation again and looked at his lord carefully.

It was brought to him with the intention of letting him deal with it. In other words, the master had no plans to deal with him as well for the time being.

"Hehe!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he giggled.

The government officials looked at each other and were convinced that their master was indeed not normal today.

"Let's go, let's open a court to interrogate the case and bring the criminal." He stepped forward quickly, with vigorous movements, leaving the government officials behind him behind, and they all gave him strange looks.

Sir, it’s so strange today!

Outside the Yamen, Yue Wei hid among the people watching, watching the case in the courtroom, and after it was over, turned around and left.

"Okay!" the people exclaimed in relief, cheering one after another, Lord Qingtian.

Outside the city, the carriage had already set off at dawn. It took a long time and was far away.

Jiang Ningxuan put down the pen in her hand, gently dried the ink on the note, and reached out to touch the carrier pigeon eating next to her: "Go, little guy, bring the news to your master."
