Chapter 112

Back in the bullock cart, Xiao Jingkong had a serious face.

Today, I met a very fierce benefactor. She also said a lot of things that he didn't understand. It didn't seem to be a good thing.

But that's not the point.

He seems to be protected by Gu Yan today

It is clear that he is so much smarter than Gu Yan's brother. He jumps the grade. He takes the first place in the exam every time. Gu Yan's brother is a baby. But when Gu Yan's brother squatted down to wipe his little hand and pulled him to the private school, he had the illusion that he was the baby.

Xiaojingkong fell into deep meditation and lost himself and Gu Yan's position for the first time.

On the other hand, Wang and miss Zhuang went back to the villa.

Miss Zhuang was so tired that she fell asleep.

Princess an told her servant girl: "don't let anyone disturb her rest. No one will come."

The servant girl hesitated and said, "if it were Miss Gu..."

Princess an's eyes were cold: "no!"

"Yes." The servant girl answers in a hurry.

Princess Ann went back to her house.

After a while, the man in black flashed in and gave him a salute: "princess."

Princess an poured himself a cup of tea and said in a light voice, "what's the harvest?"

"The man in black shook his head:" his subordinates have secretly visited all the inns, hospitals and doctors' homes in the town, and have not found any trace of the Empress Dowager

"Maybe she hasn't been to the doctor's, the doctor in the town, and the inn," murmured Princess an

The man in black was puzzled and said, "where will the Empress Dowager go? Is it in which people's home to hide it? "

The king of Anson was silent.

The man in Black said, "it's impossible, princess. Have you forgotten that the Empress Dowager has leprosy? "

In the early stage of leprosy, there are only some small erythema on the body and face, which looks like frostbite or allergy. But as the course of disease lengthens, the symptoms of leprosy will become more and more obvious, and eventually become completely different from normal people.

A leper can't hide unless she's in the woods and alone.

But that's even less likely.

The Empress Dowager has always been a respectable woman. She can't even cook. If she really stays in the old forest, she will starve to death sooner or later before she dies of illness or is bitten to death by a beast.

Princess an said thoughtfully, "you're right, but if she didn't hide, where would she go? She has leprosy, and everywhere she goes she causes a disturbance. "

Humanity in Black: "do you really not consider the possibility of the death of the Empress Dowager?"

An Jun Wang: "I said, live to see a person, die to see a corpse."

The man in black is helpless.

"Maybe someone took her in and cured her."

Humanity in Black: "leprosy can't be cured!" Even Chen Guo, the most skillful doctor, can only delay the symptoms of leprosy. The earlier the intervention, the better the curative effect. He can cure completely unheard of.

Of course, Prince an also knew how unreasonable his guess was, but he didn't want to believe that the Empress Dowager had died alone in a corner rather than being cured.

He said, "go and check the old women who came to Qingquan town last winter, including the villages under your rule."

"Yes."

The man in black was ordered to investigate. His efficiency was much higher than Huang Zhong's and his party. Within a few days, he found two clues: one in Daniu village, the other in Qingquan village, and the two villages were located in the north and south of the town respectively.

"Daniu village was exiled there last winter. When the villagers found out that she was curling up in an abandoned cowshed, they let her live in the cowshed when they saw that she was pitiful. Occasionally, someone gave her something to eat, so that she would not starve to death."

"There's another one?" asked Princess Ann

The man in black then said, "Qingquan village is a distant relative of a scholar in this village. When something happened at home, he came to join him because he had no place for his old age."

From the clues, the old women in Daniu village seem to be more in line with the people they are looking for.

But somehow, the king of an County chose Qingquan village.

There's no reason. It's just intuition.

In order not to scare the snake, Prince an decided to go in person. The man in black and his men were waiting in the town.

Princess an rode to the village.

The days are long in summer, and the light is still bright in the evening.

Prince an tied his horse under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village and walked towards the family according to the map drawn by the man in black.

At this moment, xiaojingkong was feeding chickens in the backyard. He was worried that the chickens would run out, so he closed the door.

The king of onjun raised his hand and knocked at the door.

It's small clearance that opens the door.

On that day, before Gu Jiao started, Xiao Jingkong was brought into the private school by Gu Yan, so he didn't know what happened behind and didn't see Princess an.

However, after getting into the carriage, Prince an looked back and saw Gu Jiao coming out of the private school with Xiao Jingkong's hand. They were accompanied by a young man who looked very similar to Marquis Gu. It must be Gu Yan who was claimed by the imperial doctor that he could not live for 15 years.

It's strange. Why is this little guy here?

"Is this your home?" Asked Princess Ann.

Small clearance did not completely open the door, only opened a crack, revealing a round head: "of course, this is my home, who are you? What are you doing at my house? "

An Jun Wang language and way: "I pass by, want to ask for a bowl of water to drink."

"Then you wait!" Xiaojingkong didn't invite him into the room, but closed the door. After a while, he brought out a bowl of water and said, "here."

Little guy is very wary

Princess an took it, drank the water in the bowl, and then returned the empty bowl to him: "are you alone at home?"

Small clearance instantly alert up, the door is closed a little bit: "are you human teeth? Why do you ask about this? "

The king of an County said quietly, "ah, no, I just drank your water and wanted to give your family a big thanks."

"I'll give you the water, and you'll thank me enough," said xiaojingkong

The king of an County had never seen such a child who didn't play according to the routine. He was stunned and said, "ah, thank you very much. By the way, can I ask you how to get to Daniu village? "

If the small clearance of Xinghua village and Yangliu village still knows, but Daniu village exceeds his common sense reserve, and the small clearance gets stuck on the spot.

Princess an's lips smile: "can you ask your family for me?"

"My adult is very busy. You can go to other places to inquire! If you go east, the seventh family's surname is Luo. Second uncle Luo is a driver of ox carts. He knows every village! " Small clearance to point out a clear road, decisively close the door, do not forget to plug the bolt!

Jiaojiao said, when there is no adult at home, never let strangers in!

He is a child, his aunt is an old man, they are not adults!

Anyhow, the king of an County was also a person who had been abroad. He had rich experience, but he was turned away by a child.

But he didn't give up so easily. If the front door didn't work, he went through the back door.

He has to see the old lady today.

Princess Ann went around the back door.

The back door of the kitchen was also closed, but not locked.

The prince of an stopped, pushed the door open and stepped in.

His footsteps were so light that there was almost no sound.

Just as he took three or two steps, a figure suddenly appeared behind the door and knocked down on his head with a rolling pin.

With a bang, the king of onjun was knocked unconscious.

The old lady threw the rolling pin back on the chopping board and looked down at the prince of an who was not saving people. She snorted angrily: "sneaky, it's not a good thing to see it!"

The old lady heard all the conversations between the king of an County and Xiao Jingkong. She was always asking if the adults were there. When she was refused, she sneaked in through the back door. Thief, proper thief!

It's not surprising that the old lady was so suspicious. After the family's life was not so hard, some thieves really worried about it. However, the thieves were all at night. Gu Jiao and Gu Yan's Secret guards were all there at night. They could solve the problem in a few minutes.

I didn't expect the thief to be so brave and dare to come to the door and follow things in the daytime!

The old lady looked at the handsome side face and tut tut said, "even if you eat by your face, it's better than being a little thief. But... I'm a little familiar with this guy... Have I met him somewhere? "

Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan came back from cutting firewood on the mountain. He was still unconscious on the floor of the kitchen.

Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun put down the two bundles of firewood behind them, and Gu Yan also put down the small basket of dead branches and leaves he had collected.

"Jiaojiao, I've been robbed at home. My aunt is so powerful that she knocked the thief out!"

Small clearance a second incarnation of small trumpet essence, said things through said.

But Gu Jiao quickly recognized that he was not a thief, but a young man in royal clothes whom Gu Jinyu had met outside the private school a few days ago, the prince of an.

Gu Jiao's impression of him is not good or bad. He didn't protect his own sister. He also apologized to Marquis Gu for being so reasonable at a young age. I don't know whether he was too fair and kind, or whether he was not simple at all.

Anyway, he can't have an accident in their house.

Gu Jiao takes people to Gu Xiaoshun's house.

The old lady was really merciless. He had a big bag on his head and shed a little blood. Gu Jiao gave him medicine and wrapped a circle of gauze.

Then Gu Jiao took out the silver needle and pricked it on his acupoints.

Princess an opened his eyes slowly.

The king's facial features are not particularly delicate, but he has a downright temperament.

His eyes are beautiful, but they don't seem right.

Gu Jiao gave him a strange look, took her hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

He didn't respond.

What happened?

Are you blind?

Now it was dark, and there was only a faint oil lamp in the room.

Gu Jiao turned on the wick, but he still couldn't see it.

But he was not flustered, did not show the slightest difference, he calmly closed his eyes: "my eyes hurt."

The first thing to wake up is not to ask where it is and who you are, but to cover up the fact that you can't see.

What a strange man.

Since he said so, Gu Jiao naturally won't expose him. After all, no one can guarantee whether there will be any cost after exposing him.

The more you know, the faster you die.

"Don't open it. I'll find some herbal medicine for you." Gu Jiao said, casually made some mint leaves, wrapped in cloth and covered his eyes.

"Jiao Jiao!" Small clearance from the door into a small head, "is he awake?"

It's the little guy's voice.

Princess an began to guess Gu Jiao's identity in his heart. If he guessed correctly, she should be the woman who had a dispute with her sister that day.

But isn't she Ding'an Hou's daughter?

How can you live in a place like this?

"He's awake." Gu Jiao asked, "are you hungry?"

"Well, I'm hungry." Xiaojingkong nodded honestly and asked, "what's the matter with him?"

Gu Jiao whispered: "he's OK, but his eyes are a little uncomfortable."

"Will he blame his aunt?" he said

Gu Jiao looked at Princess an: "recently, there have been several burglars at home. You come in through the back door. My aunt treats you as a thief."

"It's mine, not mine." Said the prince.

"He doesn't blame his aunt." Gu Jiao turned to Xiao Jingkong and said, "you go to eat some snacks first, and I'll cook right away."

The little clearance walked away at ease.

Listening to Gu Jiao's voice, Princess an found it hard to connect her with the woman who slapped his sister and Gu Jinyu. It seemed that they were two people, and it seemed that her patience and gentleness were all given to her family.

There was no one else in the room. Gu Jiaocai asked again, "why did the prince of an come suddenly?"

At first, I was just guessing that the king of an County confirmed her identity completely. After all, it is impossible for people who have not seen him to know that he is the king of an County.

The king of an County could not tell her that I suspected the Empress Dowager was hiding in your house. He hesitated for a moment and said, "to tell you the truth, I'm here to apologize. Miss Gu was wronged by my sister."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

For a moment, Princess an couldn't tell whether she believed or not: "you said... It was your aunt who just knocked me out?"

Gu Jiao said: "what's the matter?"

"She's got a lot of strength," said the king with a quiet smile

It seems that the other party is not the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager knew him.

Princess an was going to leave. At this moment, a small voice came from the backyard: "Jiaojiao! My aunt is eating preserves again

"I didn't! Little monk, don't talk nonsense

"I'm not a monk!"

"You're a little bald!"

The sound

Princess an felt that he was shaking all over, and the whole person froze!
