Contract Prince

Gu Yunjing's tone was very firm: "Deng Kuanding was like me today, someone deliberately approached or had close contact with him. The thief was very smart. After taking his key, he returned it in a short time, so Deng Kuan didn't notice."

Xiao Muxue said slightly: "But this is just your speculation."

Gu Yunjing smiled: "Why, Xue'er doesn't believe my speculation? Although this is a speculation, it provides us with a direction, doesn't it? Otherwise, investigating the case without any clue is really like a headless fly .”

"Next, you just need to ask Deng Kuan who he has had close contact with."

Although Xiao Muxue knew that what Gu Yunjing said was very reasonable, she still worried: "If there are many people who have been in contact with Deng Kuan, wouldn't it be like finding a needle in a haystack?"

Gu Yunjing thought for a while, and said: "Deng Kuan is a clean and honest official, and he rarely goes out to socialize. He is a decent person, and he doesn't go to the place of fireworks and willow lanes."

"As far as I know, after he goes down to court every day, he concentrates on his official duties. Therefore, the people who come into contact with him should all be servants in the household department. You only need to ask them one by one."

Xiao Muxue nodded: "In this way, the scope of the investigation has been narrowed."

After figuring out the case, Gu Yunjing was very happy.Xiao Muxue saw that the son-in-law was in high spirits, so she couldn't help but mention something about the bed.Immediately, he began to tease Her Royal Highness in every possible way.

Xiao Muxue smiled shyly, and beat Gu Yunjing's chest with her fist.After a short meeting, she said softly to Gu Yunjing, "My son-in-law, you took the initiative in the past, how about me this time?"

After Gu Yunjing finished learning the knowledge in the erotic palace pictures, she knew that the fish, water, and joy between a woman and a woman is not like that between a man and a woman, and that between a woman and a woman can attack each other.It's not bad to bring forth new things about the bed. It just so happens that Gu Yunjing also wants to try Her Royal Highness's tricks.So she hooked her chin and said with a smile: "Of course, it's just that the one who takes the initiative will be very tired."

Xiao Muxue also smiled and said: "It's okay, let my wife serve my husband well today."

The two got into bed, drew the curtain, and took off their clothes.Gu Yunjing lay obediently under Xiao Muxue, her neck was slightly raised, her face was pink, her eyes were narrowed, quietly waiting for the favor of the princess.

Although it was the first time for Her Royal Highness to take the initiative, her technique was quite high, which made the son-in-law feel distracted, tender, trembling, constantly climbing up peak after peak, and his body had already turned into a limp puddle.

The spring night is long, and the bed and weft are full of spring scenery, which is extremely tender.Along with the dripping sound of the funnel, there was also the continuous panting and groaning.

If you are successful, why die? You only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.

…………

In the early morning of the second day, Gu Yunjing dragged his tired and limp body towards the household department.Even sitting on the sedan chair, she couldn't exert any strength in her legs.Gu Yunjing pressed the center of his eyebrows, and said to himself: Your Royal Highness is really too tough.

Gu Yunjing told the bearers to drive slowly so that she would have enough time to rest.The bearer slowed down, and she closed her eyes to sleep for a while.When I arrived at Hubu again, my physical condition was much better than before, but I still looked tired after all.

When Deng Kuan saw the son-in-law who came early in the morning, he was very moved. The son-in-law really wanted to check the treasury silver.

"Master Deng, the matter of Ku Yin has some clues." Gu Yunjing couldn't hold back his excitement on his tired face, "Last night, I finally figured out why."

The excitement and excitement on Deng Kuan's face was only a lot more than that of Gu Yunjing.Once the case is solved, the danger of decapitation he faces will be eliminated, and the household department will no longer have to be punished by the court.

"My son-in-law, is it true? That would be great." With this expression and tone, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is grateful, "Master son-in-law, the entire household department of your house has been reborn, and the guilty minister is grateful. In the future If you have something I can do for you, Deng Kuanding will never hesitate to do so!"

As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down.

Seeing this, Gu Yunjing hurriedly supported Deng Kuan, "Master Deng, you don't have to do this. Although I am the imperial son-in-law, I am also a member of the imperial court. It is my duty to eradicate the culprits for the country."

Gu Yunjing paused slightly: "What's more, it's just some eyebrows, I'm afraid it's still far from solving the case."

"Master Deng, who are the people who have had close contact with you recently?"

Deng Kuan heard the words and said: "I rarely communicate with each other and I am busy with government affairs. The people who are very close to me are Master Zhang Changqing and Shi Peng, the personal guard."

Gu Yunjing stared again and asked: "Then what do you think these two people are suspicious of?"

Deng Kuan's face froze, could it be that the son-in-law was suspicious of the two of them?Deng Kuan thought about it for a long time, as if he recalled every bit of his contact with the two of them.After a long time, Deng Kuan shook his head and said, "There is no suspicion, these two are reliable people."

Zhang Changqing has worked in the household department for decades, and his qualifications are very old.Before Deng Kuan took office, he served as the master.After Deng Kuan took office, Zhang Changqing helped him a lot in official affairs.Therefore, the relationship between Deng Kuan and Zhang Changqing is different from that between ordinary subordinates.

Let's talk about Zhang Changqing's personality. Except for his wife's strict management and a few sips of wine, this Master Zhang has no shortcomings. He is diligent and hard-working, and his work is down-to-earth.He is a reliable person.

The personal guard Shi Peng and Deng Kuan became even closer. Shi Peng was brought out by Deng Kuan from his hometown mansion.Shi Peng has been protecting Deng Kuan's safety since he was young.Although the two are master and servant in name, they are no different from brothers in reality.

Gu Yunjing asked: "Are you sure they can be relied on?"

Deng Kuan said, "Definitely."

"As the saying goes, you know your face but you don't know your heart. It's better to be careful about people and things. I'm not saying that the two of them are murderers, but the case has not been solved yet, and anyone who has had close contact with you cannot rule out suspected."

"Let me ask you again, what unusual behavior did these two people have?" Gu Yunjing added, "The so-called abnormal behavior is whether they deliberately bought you a drink or something."

Gu Yunjing's thinking at this time was that since it was determined that Deng Kuan's key had been stolen, the person who stole it was likely to get him drunk with wine, and then took the opportunity to steal the key.The drunk man was insane, so Deng Kuan didn't find out in time.

Deng Kuan said truthfully: "Unless they are going to an important banquet, criminal officials rarely drink alcohol. They all know my temper, and they will never invite me to drink at banquets."

In today's corrupt court, officials like Deng Kuan are rare.It is precisely because he has so many advantages that the scope of investigation can be reduced so much in a short period of time.

Gu Yunjing thought for a while, and said: "According to you, these two people really have nothing to suspect. Forget it, let's exclude them for the time being, Mr. Deng, think again, have other people deliberately walked with you?" close?"

Gu Yunjing also thought of her urgent experience of losing the jade pendant yesterday, and she reminded: "You can't always focus on the people in the household department. For example, has anyone bumped into you on purpose."

Deng Kuan said: "No." The incident of the horse-drawn carriage crash happened a month ago, and he almost forgot about it.

Gu Yunjing frowned and said, "It shouldn't be, if no one contacts you, how could the key be stolen?"

Could it be that his inference was wrong.Gu Yunjing shook her head, she was very confident in her ability to analyze and deduce, because she never missed a case.

Gu Yunjing said again: "Master Deng, think about it carefully, and don't let go of any strange incidents that have happened to you."

"To be honest, the reason why I made this judgment is because I encountered an incident yesterday. When I passed Xuanwu Street in a carriage, there was a pair of mother and son who were in a hurry because they were too close to the carriage, and the guards were injured. killed the man. And because of this there was a quarrel between the two parties."

"I saw that the old man was very pitiful, so I got out of the carriage and helped her up, and asked the guards to take the mother and son to see the doctor." The expression in Gu Yunjing's eyes was a bit complicated, "It's just a trivial matter, I thought it was over. "

"Who knows, things are far from as simple as I thought. When I came back, I found that the jade pendant I was wearing was missing. The mother and son should be habitual thieves and often use this trick."

After being reminded by the son-in-law, Deng Kuan suddenly realized, and his heart surged, "I remembered, I had almost the same experience as the son-in-law."

"A few months ago, I went back home in a carriage after I went down to court. I also encountered such a thing. The car hit an old beggar, and the beggar was relentless. So I sympathized with him and helped him." Deng Kuan looked at him in disbelief. Gu Yunjing, "Could it be that my key was stolen like this?"

"Nine out of ten." Gu Yunjing nodded, "Do you remember what this old man looks like?"

"Remember." Deng Kuan still had a lot of doubts. He asked Gu Yunjing, "My son-in-law, there is one thing I don't know. The time I have been in contact with this old man is very short. How did he manage to steal the key?" go, and soon returned to me?"

Deng Kuan's words really caught Gu Yunjing's question. She had been concentrating on the level of people who had close contact with Deng Kuan, and she hadn't had time to think about this question.

"Master Deng, as for the details, I haven't thought about it yet. But after analyzing this point, we have judged that the old beggar is suspected of committing a serious crime. Now the top priority is to find this beggar. As for the other, we will analyze it slowly when there are more clues." Bar."

Deng Kuan said: "Okay, then I will ask the painter to paint the portrait of the old beggar."

"My son-in-law, the guilty minister has something else to say." Deng Kuan hesitated for a long time before summoning up his courage and said, "Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate food and money to the troops in front. Although His Majesty is unconscious now, the allocation It is imperative to allocate money for grain.”

"Your Majesty is sick, and the imperial court has no backbone. Someone has to come forward to decide how to allocate the money and food." Deng Kuan knew Gu Yunjing's character, so he had no worries, and boldly expressed his inner thoughts. "The Ministry of Household Affairs only allocates funds, and doesn't care about anything else. If the money and food are left to the disposal of some officials, I'm afraid it will be very little in the hands of the soldiers."
