[QTC] MBDT Chapter 1457

As soon as Bei Lin entered the house, he immediately summoned his trusted deputy general.

“General.” Yan Liben saluted and stood respectfully below.

“Liben, I have something for you to do. This matter must be carried out in secret, and no one else must know about it.”

Seeing his solemn expression, Yan Liben understood the importance of the matter.

“I will definitely keep this secret and not let anyone else know.”

“Help me investigate a woman.” Bei Lin said in a deep voice.

When Yan Liben heard the word ‘woman’, his expression was slightly stunned.

“Gu Pianran, the legitimate daughter of the imperial merchant Gu family.”

He and his father were away from home all year round, leaving only his mother and sister in the capital. They learned a lot about things through intelligence. After Yutang’s death, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

He didn’t believe that Yutang died of illness, so he secretly sent someone to check on Tang Jingyu. But everything was normal.

All the evidence could prove that Yutang died of illness. (T/N: But her body had been eaten by a dog. How could that scumbag provide Yutang’s corpse?)

However, he still couldn’t accept this reason in his heart.

Today, when he saw the interaction between Tang Jingyu and Gu Pianran, an idea flashed in his mind. If he couldn’t find any clues from Tang Jingyu, he would investigate Gu Pianran.

“She and Tang Jingyu have a close relationship. You should focus on investigating the relationship between them. The more detailed, the better.” Bei Lin ordered in a deep voice.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there is no absolute secret.

Following Gu Pianran’s line, he would see if Yutang really died of illness. If the final conclusion was this, he would accept it.

Yan Liben originally thought that the general was attracted to the girl, but unexpectedly, it was because of the young lady’s affairs.

Yan Liben knew the importance of the matter and replied solemnly, “I will act carefully and prudently.”

“Well. Go ahead.”

After Yan Liben left, Bei Lin put away the portrait on the table. The woman in the painting was stunningly beautiful and looked three or four points like him.

“If he betrayed you, I will give up everything for you and seek justice for you.”

A hint of cruelty flashed across Bei Lin’s eyes.

***

Gu Pianran did not return to the Gu family until noon the next day.

No one in the Gu family dared to ask about her absence all night. The servants and maids below pretended not to see anything and did their own work.

Gu Pianran returned to the study. A group of stewards was waiting outside early. After meeting the steward and dealing with the matters at hand, she thought of Gu Qing and Bing Ji Cream.

It had been so long, but there was still no news, which made Gu Pianran very dissatisfied.

“Come here.” Gu Pianran shouted to the outside of the house.

Soon, a maid pushed the door and entered hurriedly, “Miss.”

“Xinghua, tell someone to deliver the letter to Gu Qing as soon as possible.” Gu Pianran ordered.

Xinghua took the letter, turned around, and went out immediately.

***

In an inconspicuous town in the Great Zhou Dynasty, thousands of miles away, a mother and son were carrying a backpack and heading home. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Aunt Xu from next door coming out.

“Sister, Sister.” Aunt Xu stopped her as soon as she saw her.

“Sister Xu, what’s the matter?” Bei Yutang asked with a smile.

Aunt Xu asked mysteriously, “You probably don’t know about Master Zhang yet, right?”

“Didn’t Master Zhang run away?” Bei Yutang said, pretending to be puzzled.

Aunt Xu smiled mysteriously, “That’s all old news. I’m telling you, Master Zhang is dead.”

Bei Yutang looked at her in surprise, “Why is he dead?”
