2101 Chapter 2100-not easy
At this moment, a bailiff had already entered.
Gu Xin didn’t let them leave, but frowned at ye cuiru, ” “Miss ye, you mean that miss Xie actually knows where Song Yi lives? And you even know about Song Yi’s family situation?”
“Yes,” ye cuiru nodded. Miss Xie knows that brother Yi and I are neighbors, and she would often ask me about brother Yi’s family. Once, miss Xie even asked me to take her to brother Yi’s house, so Auntie also knows miss Xie. It’s just that miss Xie didn’t tell Auntie and brother Yi that she wanted to buy their house. She only muttered to me once.”
Gu Xin looked at her and asked,”other than that, what else?” What else have you not told me? I hope that you can say it all at once and not suddenly think of it again.”
Ye cuiru was stunned for a moment. She did not understand why Gu Xin did not have any reaction when she heard this.
Gu Xin continued to stare at her.
Ye cuiru shook her head. No. That’s all about miss Xie. This commoner only frequently goes to the Xie family’s shop to sell embroidery and does not have much contact with young lady Xie.”
Gu Xin nodded her head and got someone to take her away.
Gu Xin did not let the rest of the ye family leave either.
After she left the interrogation room, she sent people to the South City gate, to the house of the granny sun who made the flower cakes, and to the flower-planting village outside the city to investigate the situation.
“Third miss.” Zheng Qiu did not leave the Yamen. When he saw Gu Xin coming out, he walked up to her.
“Xiao Qiu, how long did it take for Mr. Qin to investigate cases in the past?” Gu Xin felt a little tired and wanted to ask about the other adults.
“Is third young lady tired?” Zheng Qiu smiled and said, ” when Mr. Qin investigated cases in the past, sometimes he could solve them on the spot, sometimes it would take ten days to half a month. This isn’t even accurate.”
“It’s really not easy for you, my Lords!” Gu Xin sighed.
“Third young lady, I’ve asked someone to buy some desserts and went to the kitchen of the Yamen to make some flower tea. Let’s go eat and rest for a while! They’ve gone out to investigate and will only return after at least two hours.” Zheng Qiu suggested.
She could feel that Gu Xin was very tired, but she had a good impression of her. She had accompanied Mr. Qin on all sorts of cases and knew that this was a very tiring task. Hence, she had prepared some snacks and tea for her.
Gu Xin followed Zheng Qiu to the kitchen.
The sky was getting dark, but Gu Xin did not plan to go back so early. She wanted to wait for the person who went to investigate to return so that she could know the situation as soon as possible.
After the governor was done with his work, it was time for the morning sun to set. He packed up and prepared to go home, but when he heard that Gu Xin was still at the Yamen, he could only go and look for her.
The great Zhou’s capital governor’s magistrate, surnamed Liu, was a wily old fox in the officialdom. He was very observant and knew how to deal with matters. He came to the kitchen of the Yamen and sternly bowed to Gu Xin, ” “Greetings, Princess Xinxin!”
“Thank you for your understanding, Princess. I’m not hungry.” Lord Liu shook his head.
“Oh, so Lord Liu is here to ask about the case?” Gu Xin asked.
“The victim is my wife’s niece, so …”
Gu Xin snapped her fingers,’that’s right, you guys have such a relationship. Then it’s time for the Gu to be cast. If Lord Liu is at ease with me, then I’ll go home! I’ll have to wait a little longer.”
