Chapter 415 Sophora Japonica Forest
Wang He's lips trembled and he asked: "Sir...how does your Excellency know this?"
Gu Mingda looked at the person in front of him and said, "When you made a spur-of-the-moment idea on the ship and got into the team asking for the reward, I felt something was wrong at that time."
After getting off the boat, Wang He expressed his intention to join the boat. Gu Mingda also lacked manpower, so he agreed.
It's just that he paid careful attention to Wang He later. Wang He might not be able to hide it well. Every time she heard someone mention the Li family, her reaction would be particularly unusual.
Next, it is Wang He's ability to survive. She originally wanted to open a martial arts gym, and the basis for establishing the gym was her family's traditional Huang Family Boxing.
Once traces are exposed and others speculate, the truth of many things will be revealed.
"Your surname was originally Huang, Huang Changquan. I saw him in Fucheng in his early years and I remember it very well." Gu Mingda said.
The Huang family was once a wealthy family in Guanglin Mansion. Although they made their fortune through martial arts, they later had many properties but only a small population, which was the biggest drawback of the Huang family.
The Huang family offended the Li family a few years ago. The Li family took advantage of the power of the imperial concubine. Not only did the Li family have their property embezzled, but the entire family was "accidentally" killed at the hands of bandits.
Wang He is the only survivor of the Huang family.
When she heard Gu Mingda tell her origin, her eyes suddenly turned red and she said, "The Li family has done all kinds of bad things and hurt my parents and relatives. I want to take revenge. Is it wrong?"
Zhang Yuniang was at the side. When she heard what she said, she felt distressed and comforted her: "You are not wrong in doing this. Revenge for your parents is a matter of course. Our Gu family and the Li family are now at odds with each other, so we need you right now." help."
When Wang He heard this, he looked at Gu Mingda in surprise.
Gu Mingda said: "The Li family wants to use the same method they used to deal with your family to deal with the Gu family."
Gu Mingda also talked about the attack he suffered from the censor in the court during this period, and the details of Zhang Yunniang's previous case.
"Since you have been staring at their house, you should be able to tell that he has frequent contacts with the censor during this period." Gu Mingda said.
Wang He nodded and said, "The Li family did have frequent banquets with several royal historians some time ago."
Wang He originally wanted to grab some evidence of Li Ziqin's death, but she stared at it for a long time and saw that the person having the banquet was the censor, so she didn't think much about it.
Gu Mingda asked again: "What about the dealings with the Imperial Preceptor's Office?"
Wang He had obviously been watching for a long time and said: "Every time someone comes to the palace, the Li family's housekeeper will go to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion. During this time, no one comes to the palace, but they are all people from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion." He ran to Li's house, running more and more frequently."
Although Wang He was unable to find out what was going on in Li's family, so much information was enough to explain the problem.
At least when the palace sent people here before, it meant that the palace had a request from the Imperial Preceptor's Office, but now, it seems that the Imperial Preceptor's Office is more anxious.
Thinking of the middle-aged man in gray robe who was responsible for kidnapping and trafficking children, he actually hid with Wu Wulang when the news was tight. It seems that these two people are working for the Li family, but they are responsible for different directions. , the child kidnapped and trafficked by the man in gray robe was finally delivered to the hands of the Imperial Master. The Li family must have something big going on and they need to rely on this Imperial Master.
All of this is related to practicing evil methods. If it weren't for such evil skills, there wouldn't be so many children.
"You often do seedling business, but do you know where there are large locust trees in the city?" Gu Mingda asked.
He asked tentatively, but he didn't expect Wang He to actually know something.
"Although I am in the seedling business, I don't have many customers to buy locust trees. After all, there has always been a saying that people are buried under locust trees. Many wealthy families are taboo about locust trees. However, I have a colleague who bought a locust tree last month. Twenty of them have grown into locust trees, and they are said to be in demand by a big customer."
Gu Mingda immediately asked: "Do you know where those locust trees have been sent?"
Wang He nodded and said: "I vaguely heard what he said. He also said that the customer only wanted locust trees, and they didn't need to arrange planting. The money was very generous, which is very strange."
Gu Mingda's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague feeling that these locust trees also hid something terrible.
Wang He quickly took Gu Mingda to the house where the locust tree was said to be. The place was remote and close to the suburbs, so a large area could be freed up.
It is precisely because there are so few people around that even if something happens, it will not be easily noticed.
Gu Mingda sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire about the owner of the property in this place. On the property deed registered with the government, the owner of the property did not show much abnormality. He seemed to be an ordinary businessman.
Gu Mingda felt that this was the Imperial Prefect's Mansion's way of covering up. He was doing some shameful things behind his back, so naturally he didn't want others to associate this house with the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
But it is precisely because of this method of concealment that it is convenient for Gu Mingda now. If the house is really recorded in the name of the Imperial Master, Gu Mingda would have to obtain the emperor's approval if he wanted to search it. In this way, it would be a big deal. , on the contrary, it is suspected of alerting the enemy.
Gu Mingda not only brought the team of internal guards, but also called on the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
A large group of people arrived at the seemingly ordinary house.
Just at the entrance, I was blocked.
"Who are you? Do you know who our master is? How dare you come to make trouble?" the concierge said viciously.
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, who had come to join in the fun, heard this and suddenly wanted to give up.
But Gu Mingda took the official record document and said, "Your master is the businessman Chen Si. Is there someone else behind him?"
The gatekeeper immediately said arrogantly, "Our master will be the national master appointed by His Majesty in the future! If you want to search this house, our national master will not forgive you!"
The prefect of Jingzhao was about to say wait a moment, but Gu Mingda had already ordered directly: "How dare he randomly associate with the national master and slander the reputation of the national master, why don't you arrest him quickly!"
The team of internal guards immediately took action after hearing this, and the people of Jingzhao Prefecture were a beat slower.
After Gu Mingda had the gatekeeper captured, he immediately walked in aggressively. Before he came to the door, he had borrowed a high place nearby to check the specific location of the locust tree forest in the house. After entering, he went straight to the locust tree forest without any hesitation.
The officials following behind him had already blocked the front and back doors of the house, so that no one could run out casually.
After entering the locust tree forest, everyone felt that there seemed to be an unusually large number of flies in the forest.
Gu Mingda glanced at the soft soil, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but he still ordered: "Dig it up!"
