Chapter 474: Seduction
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You all seem to be highly skilled in martial arts. If you want to find evidence, you can just sneak in, right?” Gu Yundongwas so angry that she laughed. “I’m a weak woman, and you actually handed the most important thing to me? Do you think I’m too good-looking and want others to chop me into pieces?” Mo Xulin was speechless. Miss, don’t feel so good about yourself, alright?
He coughed lightly and said, “The Xin residence is heavily guarded. It’s naturally not a problem for us to sneak in, but it’s easy to alert the enemy.” Heavily guarded? Didn’t her father, Gu Dajiang, sneak in?
No, Gu Dajiang could only ask around outside. He couldn’t go to the master’s courtyard, let alone the places where evidence was placed.
Mo Xulin continued, “Actually, it’s not like no one has infiltrated the Xin family before. They even entered Master Xin’s study, but there’s nothing in the study. If we want to find evidence of guilt, I’m afraid a few days won’t be enough.” If you can’t find it in the study, do you think I can?
“Once we alert the enemy, the Xin family will be easy. We can just capture them anyway, but the forces in the capital that colluded with the Xin family will be on guard…”
Gu Yundong was enlightened. “Are you making such a big move this time? It won’t be easy to clean up the mess.”
So, what the emperor really wanted to deal with were those people in the capital?
All the more reason for her not to get involved.
Mo Xulin lowered his eyes. He could not say anything in front of Gu Yundong. However, seeing that she was unwilling, he immediately thought of what Qin Wenzheng had said. He could only take a step back and say, “Miss Gu, if you’re really unwilling, then… can you figure out the approximate location of the important letters in the Xin residence?” Seeing that Gu Yundong wanted to refute, he immediately added, “Lord Qin said that since Miss Gu has the ability to obtain the news that Xin Zhiyuan colluded with another country, you can definitely do these things.”
“He really thinks highly of me.”
“Lord Qin also said that if Miss makes a great contribution and the Xin family is raided later, Miss can choose a few valuable items first…”
Gu Yundong stood up. “Alright, I’ll go back and think about it.”
She kept the letter and turned to leave the small courtyard.
When the others saw this, they looked at each other and asked Mo Xulin, “Did she agree or not?”
Mo Xulin was unfathomable. “What do you think?” However, he quickly restrained his expression. “Inform the Duan family and ask them to cooperate with us if necessary.”
“Should we inform Commander Liu of Wanqing Prefecture?” One had to bring troops over to arrest a family. “It’s said that Commander Liu doesn’t have a good relationship with the prefecture magistrate. Perhaps he can help.”
However, Mo Xulin shook his head. “It’s hard to say if they’re not on good terms. Maybe they’re just putting on a show for us. Third Brother has already gone elsewhere to mobilize troops. Let’s wait a few more days.”
The others in the courtyard quickly went to work.
Gu Yundong felt a headache when she returned to the inn. Qin Wenzheng was indeed unreliable.
However, although she was cursing Qin Wenzheng in her heart, her mind still started to spin.
In the following days, Gu Yundong was very busy.
Tong Shuitao did not know what she was doing. In any case, she would do whatever Young Miss instructed her to do.
Gu Dajiang was a little worried. He had once asked Gu Yundong, but she said that it was for business.
Only Xue Rong started to feel uneasy.
A few days later, when he saw Gu Yundong writing the names of everyone in the Xin family on paper in the room, his thoughts were finally confirmed. He had a feeling that it was just as he expected.
