201 Uprooted

These secret guards did not start escort agencies to make money. They mainly wanted to hide their identities, and secondly, they were to grasp the dynamics of the capital. Therefore, when Deyang Hou didn't know them when they opened their new openings, they asked them to transport escorts, which made them wary and told Gu Yan back.

Gu Yan also wondered why Deyang Hou Mansion did this. Logically, they were looking for an escort agency they were familiar with, or had good reputations, but they came to the door to ask for escorts the day after they opened, which made them suspicious.

To be cautious, Gu Yan called An Er, who had learned to unlock the lock, and asked him to open the brocade box to see what was inside.

After seeing the brocade box, An Er's expression changed and he couldn't lock it.

Gu Yan felt even more that something was wrong here, so she directly called Yan Dong.

He has been walking in the world for many years in the severe winter, and by chance he has mastered the ability to pick a lock. Maybe he can open this lock.

Yan Dong has been with Death every day to guide him in killing skills. Apart from contacting Death and the members of the Blood Killing, he doesn't do anything, and he doesn't go out to see outsiders. They entered Beijing early two years ago, so they haven't seen Gu Yan for two years.

When Gu Yan saw Yan Dong, he didn't say nonsense. He threw the brocade box in front of Yan Dong and asked him to find a way to open it.

Yan Dong wanted to say a few words to Gu Yan, but he didn't expect Gu Yan to come up and let him do his work. He even said a few words, which made Gu Yan glar and then hold back.

Yan Dong was stunned when he saw the lock on the brocade box. After reading it for a long time, he said with a serious expression: "This lock was created by Master Tong, the most famous locksmith in Qianliang, a hundred and fifty years ago. He studied unlocking the locks all his life. Each lock he created was only one key. Once locked, only the person holding the key could open it. However..., after this person died, it was a book that specifically wrote about the method of opening the lock he created. That book... was your luck, just so happened to be my reading."

Gu Yan was very dissatisfied with Yan Dong's breathing. She thought she could not open the brocade box. She was about to destroy it and then closed the escort agency. Unexpectedly, Yan Dong knew how to unlock the lock.

Gu Yan rolled his eyes and ignored him. Yan Dong had enough trouble. When he saw Gu Yan rolling his eyes, he knew that he could not continue making trouble. He happily started to unlock the lock.

Even Yan Dong himself tinkered with it for two hours before opening it. Gu Yan picked up the book in her hand and read it. Seeing that it was blank, she immediately felt that things were not good.

Because the matter was serious, Gu Yan called Gu An. The two of them worked hard in the study for a night but couldn't figure it out. Gu Yan was so angry that she threw it into the basin beside her.

Unexpectedly, the handwriting was quickly displayed on the book. Gu Yan quickly took out the book, carefully disassembled the book, put it into the basin of water, and soon saw the dense small characters written on the book.

Gu An was shocked and immediately spread all the papers, writing while his handwriting was still thrusting.

When the two of them copied the books, the papers were all dried again and the handwriting on them disappeared.

"What did this be written on? Why is it gone again? It seems that the one on it is not ink."

Gu Yan narrowed her eyes, "I know."

In fact, it is very simple. Wet the two pieces of paper with water, put them together, and write them with a pencil. After writing, you can see that there are also handwriting on the paper below, just like writing on the pencil. Then dry the paper below, and the words on the top disappear and there is nothing. If you want to see it out, wet it with water.

Gu Yan told Gu An about the method, and Gu An found a charcoal pen to do the experiment, and then believed what Gu Yan said.

"So that's it. This Deyang Hou is not simple, and he actually thought of this method."

"Maybe it was a coincidence like me."

Gu Yan was afraid that Gu An would not answer when she asked her how she knew, so she couldn't say that she knew about it in her previous life, right? She simply took this opportunity to cover it up directly.

Gu An didn't ask in detail, "What should we do about this thing? Do we know now if we should tell the emperor? If we say it, the secret guards... No, we can't talk about this matter yet, we can only step up the surveillance of the Deyang Hou Mansion, but if we say it in the future, there will be no evidence."

Gu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, staring at the blank books on the table and staring at the same time.

After a long time, Gu Yan breathed out.

"Forget it, let me leave it."

Gu An wanted to ask Gu Yan what to do, but Gu Yan had already left with the booklet. The next day, he handed the blank booklet to Gu An and asked him to keep it.

Gu Yan handed the book he had written in person to the secret guards and asked them to rush to Luancheng, and must snatch these four days from the road to prevent people from doubting.

From now on, Deyang Hou Mansion would send Jinbo to Luancheng for the first year, and the escort agency they entrust was different every time. Gu Yan asked the secret guard to replace the Jinbo, and after she copied it, she asked someone to change it back.

"So? This time I gave their guilt to it?"

Tang was a little curious and worried. If Emperor Wen of Wei knew that Gu An had concealed him for two years before he could tell these things, the consequences would be...

Gu Yan nodded, "I handed over it, but it was not what we handed over it, it was discovered by the emperor himself, and it has nothing to do with us."

Tang was stunned again, "What's going on?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yan sighed, "It's all Thirteen's credit."

Tang quickly asked, and then Gu Yan continued to talk.

The secret guard Thirteen was a pseudonym Shishan. After entering the palace, he was assigned to a eunuch in the harem to serve the old eunuch. The old eunuch was a general manager who followed the old emperor when he was the last emperor. He liked Thirteen very much. Maybe because he was old, he coaxed him to teach him his abilities and connections for about a year, and then the old eunuch died.

After the old eunuch died, Thirteen stayed at the old eunuch's residence as the old eunuch's godson. Because Thirteen's move was deeply loved by many eunuchs, they all said that he had feelings and righteousness and loved to make friends with him.

Sun Ying was the chief manager of Emperor Wen of Wei and had a lifelong relationship with the old eunuch. He used to drink and chat with the old eunuch, and also met Thirteen. After the old eunuch died, Sun Ying saw Thirteen keep guarding the old eunuch's residence and claimed to be the old eunuch's grandson. He thought he was very good at being a human being, so he transferred Thirteen to the front of the imperial court.

Once, Sun Ying suffered from a cold wind, and others took this opportunity to join Emperor Wen of Wei, hoping to replace Sun Ying's position, but only Thirteen did not go, but took care of him by his side until he recovered from illness.

Sun Ying was moved and kept Thirteen with him after he recovered from his illness, allowing him to show his face in front of Emperor Wen of Wei many times. After a long time, Emperor Wen of Wei also knew Thirteen and remembered Thirteen in his heart.

Later, when Emperor Wen of Wei saw that he did what he ordered beautifully without saying a word, he slowly became more and more dependent. Even so, Thirteen was very low-key, putting Sun Ying first in everything.

Sun Ying was more satisfied with Thirteen, which also made him stay with Emperor Wen of Wei a lot longer.

Last night, Thirteen received a message from Gu An, asking him to find a way to expose the Deyang Hou. After Emperor Wen of Wei rested that night, he took Sun Ying to the side hall to rest, saying that he helped Sun Ying watch the night.

Thirteen helped Sun Ying watch the night more than once or twice. Sun Ying was used to it and didn't care, so she went directly to the side hall.

Thirteen saw Sun Ying enter the side hall and stood outside the emperor's bedroom, listening to the movements in the side hall.

Sun Ying was woken up by the meows in the middle of the night. The palace was too big and there were many wild cats. Sun Ying didn't care too much at first, but the meows became louder and louder, and he had to get up to drive the cat in the side hall.

When he came to drive the cat, Sun Ying discovered something amazing. He found a piece of snack in the corner where the wild cat stayed. The snack was poisonous. The wild cat couldn't bear it after eating it and saw it. It was about to lose weight. This scared Sun Ying and quickly called Thirteen to take the people to check it out.

When Thirteen saw the snacks on the ground, his face changed drastically. He immediately ran to the table to check. When he saw that the snacks on the table were missing, he said to Sun Ying with a pale face that this should have been the snacks in front of Emperor Wen of Wei. Because Emperor Wen of Wei was useless, Thirteen placed them in the side hall, afraid that Sun Ying could still put them on the cushion in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect that the snacks would be poisonous and allowed the wild cat to eat them.

Sun Ying was afraid that there would be other dirty things in the palace, so he quickly asked someone to search the palace. After this investigation, he turned out the booklets and charcoal pens hidden in the crack behind a cabinet.

When Sun Ying saw that there were no words on it, but the book was hidden tightly, he felt suspicious and immediately reported it to Emperor Wen of Wei.

After learning about it, Emperor Wen of Wei stopped sleeping and immediately asked someone to check the booklet. A bunch of people searched for half a night but couldn't find it out. Later, the booklet came to Emperor Wen of Wei again.

At this time, Sun Ying brought the tea handed to him by Thirteen to Emperor Wen of Wei. He advised him a few words and said that he would investigate again tomorrow and ask Emperor Wen of Wei to rest quickly.

Emperor Wen of Wei was almost poisoned to death but couldn't find anything useful, so he waved his hand and knocked over the teacup.

The tea was poured onto the booklet, and the handwriting was soon revealed. Emperor Wen of Wei was overjoyed and quickly looked down. This look almost made Emperor Wen of Wei die of anger.

The above records the daily life of Emperor Wen of Wei and every decree he gave.

Emperor Wen of Wei asked someone to dip the book of the work and slowly finished reading all the contents.

In addition to Emperor Wen of Wei's daily life, there are also records of things happening in various parts of the Great Wei, from merchants to civilians, from officials to lowly slaves to women in the back house, everything is recorded in all aspects, regardless of size, and some of the contents in it seem to be coherent, and there should be records in the past.

Emperor Wen of Wei finally found a mark in the lower corner of the book. The mark was inconspicuous and very ordinary, but Emperor Wen of Wei still found its origin from his memory.

This is one of the marks that Emperor Wen of Wei asked him to write down when he was a child when he was learning the skills of the emperor. If he remembered correctly, this mark belonged to Deyang Hou Mansion.

Emperor Wen of Wei didn't understand why Deyang Hou Mansion knew so many things, so he said it casually.

Sun Ying was next to Emperor Wen of Wei at that time and immediately thought of the ladies who got married in Deyang Hou Mansion.

As soon as Sun Ying mentioned the suspicion, Emperor Wen of Wei immediately understood.

The Deyang Hou Mansion was dilapidated on the surface and sold his daughter to seek honor, but in fact he sent his daughter to various places as a spy.

What's wrong? Emperor Wen of Wei was furious and suddenly thought of Qianliang. Hou Deyang was the undercover agent of Qianliang.

When it was the morning court today, Emperor Wen of Wei issued an order to confiscate the house despite the death of Deyang Hou. He found the book that Gu Yan had already placed in the study room in Deyang Hou's study.

Tang was sweating all over, and no longer needed a sweat towel. He wiped his face with his sleeve and asked Gu Yan tremblingly.

"So you arranged this? Let Deyang Hou die first to spend more night planning this big thing?"

Gu Yan nodded, "Yes, this matter can only be discovered by the emperor himself, otherwise the books in the past will be useless. If the emperor knows that our family deducted the books but did not tell him, then we are just covering up. At this time, not only the Deyang Hou Mansion will be put in prison, but also us."

Tang nodded and swallowed.

"You are right. You can't get this credit. You'd better give it to the emperor himself. This matter is too big and you'll lose your life if you don't do it well."

In the evening, Gu An came back, hurriedly changed his clothes and sat on the chair, staring at Gu Yan and rolling his eyes.

Gu Yan found it funny, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Gu An put the teacup heavily, "What do you think? You can't calm down if you cause trouble every day? You were locked up and forgot when you caused a big disaster two years ago? You caused a lot of trouble and you have to send out the prepared credits. What do you want? You're happy for a while, what can you do? How troublesome!"

Gu Yan listened to the training humbly and felt that she was reckless this time.

"Yes, dad, I know I was reckless this time, but Tao Jiaming's eyes were too explicit, and I was disgusting."

When it comes to this, Gu An is also full of anger.

The daughter he raised carefully was teased by someone, and he had no place to extricate his anger. Fortunately, Deyang Hou Mansion had a handle on his hands, otherwise Gu Yan would be in trouble this time.

Gu Yan looked around and said, "Where is my brother?"

Gu An glared at Gu Yan, "It's not for you? Your brother was sent to Deyang Hou Mansion to search the house. How could he not do his best? How did you think the two books hidden in the palace were found? Didn't your brother instigate Tan Songyuan to search it? But one advantage is that Deyang Hou Mansion is not as broken as the surface, and a lot of silver is dug out from the ground. I think your brother can get a piece of the pie."

Gu Yan rolled her eyes secretly.

How much can you be greedy? Can so many people be brought out when they see them? Emperor Wen of Wei was so treacherous and sloppy, so could these people under his command emptied Deyang Hou Mansion?

As expected, the next day, Emperor Wen of Wei was furious when he learned that there was a large amount of silver under the Deyang Hou Mansion and ordered Liu Mingyi to investigate thoroughly.

Gu An left behind and ignored the matter. In a few days, Liu Mingyi found out the matter almost completely.

Deyang Hou Mansion was a spy from the Qianliang who was determined to counterattack the Great Wei, and those money were the future of the dowry shop of the married wife, and they would be used when the Qianliang counterattack the Great Wei.

Liu Mingyi was quick-witted and Emperor Wen of Wei was faster than him. After Liu Mingyi submitted evidence, Emperor Wen of Wei issued an order that day.

The Deyang Hou Mansion was a spy from the front brigade. The Deyang Hou Mansion, regardless of gender, age, and the whole tribe was executed. The married woman gave her a glass of poisoned wine.

It’s okay for others to do it, but it’s a pity that the daughter-in-law who married into the Deyang Hou Mansion and the young ladies who were married and who had not married, they would follow the crowd without knowing anything.
