MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 64

Seeing the people in the command department looking around, Gu Yun whispered his guess.

Fang Zhan shook his head: "It shouldn't be. If it was just the water leakage caused by the hot and dry weather, then the rice shop wouldn't have caught fire last night..."

After all, there was such a heavy rain yesterday evening, and the weather in Shengshu was a little cooler, so it was almost impossible to catch fire spontaneously under such circumstances.

So this incident is very likely to be done by people, but I don't know who has the courage to do such a reckless thing in the imperial city.

This is the first important thing that Gu Yun has done since he took office.

After looking outside for a while, she prepared to go inside.

Fang Zhan hurriedly followed her footsteps, entered the lobby, looked around, and waved to the commanders: "Did you find anything?"

Several people recognized Fang Zhan and Gu Yun beside him, and the leader greeted them: "My lord, the burning place here is relatively well preserved. Our people found a fire pocket and kerosene in a corner. It is determined that this is arson, but who did it, we have no idea at the moment."

It is determined that it is man-made, then the next step is to check the subtleties.

"There are shops all around here. I wonder if anyone heard or saw anything weird last night?" Fang Zhan continued to ask.

The man nodded: "On weekdays, in the shop, there are people guarding the backyard at night, but it happened that the clerk of this rice shop had something to do at home last night, so no one was guarding him."

In this way, no one will find out that someone has set the fire?

The man didn't hold back, and continued: "However, the shop next to the rice shop is guarded. According to the guy, when he got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night last night, he seemed to have heard movement from here."

"However, he was sleepy and thought it was a mouse or something, so he didn't pay attention. It was also because the fire was getting bigger, and he smelled the thick smoke, so he hurriedly got up to check."

"Because it was discovered in time and it rained last night, the rice shop was not burned to ashes."

After listening to these details, Gu Yun raised her hand and touched her chin. After thinking for a while, she looked at the leader: "Where is the shopkeeper of this rice shop? Have you questioned him?"

If you can take the risk to burn the rice shop, it is very likely that someone who has a grudge with this rice shop did it.

Then you have to check the shopkeeper carefully, if you have offended anyone on weekdays.

"The subordinates have already asked." The leader knew what Gu Yun wanted to say, so he explained the results of his cross-examination in detail, "This rice shop has a very good reputation around here, and the shopkeepers are all very good-natured people , I don’t have any enmity with other people on weekdays. It’s also because they are kind to others, so after the fire was discovered last night, the surrounding neighbors came forward to help put out the fire..."

This is strange.

Since there is no enemy, the reason for seeking revenge and setting fire can be let go.

Can only start from other places.

"Look carefully, don't miss every corner." The experience here is almost there, and Gu Yun plans to go to the next shop that caught fire to take a look.

Walking out of the rice shop, Fang Zhan frowned: "No one is looking for revenge, and it's not just this family that caught fire. I'm afraid this matter is not easy."

Gu Yun didn't speak, she was still thinking about the details that she noticed after releasing her mental power just now.

As an alpha, she is very sensitive to various auras.

Just now she used her mental strength to investigate and found that there was a very strange smell, not like the smell that people in the capital often have.

And judging from the leader's words, that extremely weird place should be the place where the arson started.

Gu Yun was still unable to make a conclusion, so she decided to test to see if the other places also had such a strange smell.

About half an hour later, the two arrived in West City.

Just like before, Gu Yun released his mental power to examine it carefully, and there is also some weird smell here.

Knowing that, she led Fang Zhan to the next shop that was burned.

…

After wandering around like this for an entire afternoon, the sky has gradually faded away.

It got dark.

After inspecting the last shop that caught fire, Fang Zhan looked at Gu Yun thoughtfully, and asked blankly, "What did you find?"

In one afternoon, every store could only find out that someone deliberately set the fire on fire, but there was no trace of the arsonist at all.

But with Gu Yun's appearance, it seems that he has discovered something?

Gu Yun raised his eyes and shook his head at him: "No, I was just wondering if this was actually a coincidence."

She didn't tell Zhan the details she noticed, and after fooling around, she was ready to go home first.

"We'll discuss it when Ma Yinlong comes to report the situation tomorrow. It's getting dark today, so let's go back first."

The lanterns hanging on both sides of the street have already been lit up, and there are fewer pedestrians around. It is indeed a bit late.

Fang Zhan brushed the corner of his clothes, cupped his hands towards Gu Yun and said, "That's fine, then let's take my leave."

After bidding farewell to Gu Yun, he turned around and disappeared among the pedestrians coming and going, and disappeared after a while.

Gu Yun stopped to look at it for a while, then looked away lightly, then turned around and rushed back to the princess mansion.

…

When returning home, Gu Yun didn't see Jiang Libai in the room, and only after asking, did she find out that she was still coaxing Xing Xing at the nanny's place.

She asked Qin'er to reheat the food left for her, and she planned to go to see the princess and the little princess before eating.

Walk out of the inner room and come all the way to Yumengyuan.

Gu Yun waved his hand to the little girl waiting at the door, then pushed the door open and entered.

Jiang Libai was hugging little Xingxing as she walked and coaxed her, but the low cry still came from the baby.

"What happened to the stars?" Gu Yun hurried forward.

Seeing that Gu Yun came back, Jiang Libai stopped in her tracks, frowning tightly: "Ever since dinner, Xing Xing has been crying, no matter how coaxed she is."

The little pitiful in her arms was crying sadly, and the little pearls kept pouring out as if they didn't want money, which made Jiang Libai and Gu Yun feel bad.

Gu Yun stretched out her hand, touched Xing Xing's little face, and was about to wipe those little pearls.

When her fingertips touched her, she seemed to turn her head away, and her tear-filled eyes also turned to Gu Yun's direction.

Hearing that her crying became softer, Jiang Libai hurriedly stuffed her into Gu Yun's arms, "She might miss you, so please coax her well."

The little boy is almost three months old, and he is a little heavy to hold.

Gu Yun patted her little butt, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Little baby, don't be sad, mom...Daddy is back...don't cry."

Strange to say, being held in Gu Yun's arms, Xing Xing, who was still crying just now, slowly stopped crying, and her big round eyes also stared at Gu Yun intently, as if she really knew her.

"She's so clingy to you." Jiang Libai at the side was a little jealous when she saw that Gu Yun had coaxed Xing Xing in a short while.

But seeing that she finally stopped crying, she became curious.

"When you left in the afternoon, she was a little sleepy. I carried her to dinner, and she started crying... Could it be that she really misses you?"

But does a two-month-old baby really understand what longing is?

Gu Yun looked down, Xing Xing had already grabbed her little hand, and that little head seemed to be thrusting into her arms all the time?

Hearing what the Seventh Princess said just now, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

"She probably really misses me." She said slowly, and began to release some pheromones little by little.

But Xing Xing didn't seem to respond, and she wondered if she was wrong.

Xing Xing is not familiar with her pheromone breath?

But Xing Xing seems to like the smell of her body very much?

Gu Yun was a little confused.

But it's enough to coax the stars. As for the reason, we will discuss it later.

Xing Xing seemed to be tired from crying too, and his eyelids were beginning to close.

Jiang Libai winked at Gu Yun, Gu Yun understood, and walked towards her little bed while patting Xing Xing's little butt.

Xing Xing, who was fast asleep with her eyes closed, was slowly placed in the soft crib. Gu Yun stared at her soft face, and slowly withdrew her hand when there was no sign of waking up.

Jiang Libai took advantage of the situation and pulled up the small quilt, covering her body gently.

The two of them lowered their breathing at the same time, and slowly got up.

After Jiang Libai whispered a few words to the nanny, she took Gu Yun's hand and left together.

The moon is shining brightly outside the courtyard, and there is a gentle breeze.

Looking at the shadows of the two of them snuggling up on the ground, Jiang Libai held Gu Yun's hand even tighter.

"Are you tired today?"

Gu Yun shook her head: "It's okay." Her physical strength is not bad, and she didn't feel tired after working all afternoon.

It was Fang Zhan who kept whispering in her ear, which made her want to turn off her hearing.

Jiang Libai thought of Gu Yun's unusually abundant energy, so she didn't worry about whether she would be tired anymore.

"I checked around the capital today, what's the result?" She asked about the business.

Hearing this, Gu Yun turned to look at her and raised her eyebrows: "You really have eyeliner, do you know what I have done?"

Jiang Libai didn't expect her focus to be on this.

Immediately, I was a little speechless: "You are patrolling around in the street, even if I didn't ask the eyeliner, just the gossip of the people below can enter my ears..."

"Xiaochi, who brought the food, couldn't keep his mouth shut. When he delivered the food before dinner, he missed a few words with the wooden paddle, saying that he saw you and went to check in the shop of the water..."

Speaking of this, she grabbed Gu Yun's jaw and snorted softly: "So I don't need to use eyeliner, I can know what you are doing."

The girl is extremely arrogant, her slightly pursed mouth looks pink and cherry red, and she looks very kissable.

Gu Yun glanced at Chunxi who was not far away from them, and stopped thinking about kissing her.

"Yes, the princess knows what she wants to know, and I will definitely not hide anything from the princess."

Jiang Libai grinned: "I have eyeliner, you can't hide it from me."

Joyfully returning to the house, Jiang Libai took off her outer skirt and began to wash, "So today I went to investigate with that golden lump of the Fang family, but there was no result?"

"It's not like there is nothing." Gu Yun took the towel that Jiang Libai had wiped his hands and put it into the water, and then said a little puzzled: "Golden bumps? You mean Fang Zhan?"

Jiang Libai lifted up her skirt, waiting for Gu Yun to wash her feet, "That's right."

"Now he is the only seedling of their Fang family. The Fang family sees him like an eyeball. Isn't it just a golden bump?"

Gu Yun never knew about these things.

Seeing that she was interested, Jiang Libai also picked up some information she knew, and chatted with Gu Yun: "Their family has never taken concubines, so the incense has never been prosperous. He used to only have a younger sister, but he only had a younger sister when he was six years old. After Yuan married and passed away years ago, the Fang family now has only his blood."
