Chapter 55
Meng Tianyin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said:
"A few years ago, Han Song went to Beijing to investigate and met Duan Yi'an, who was still a concubine of the Chai Mansion at that time. He knew that she was also from Dali, and even more that she came here for the sake of anger. He was overjoyed and brought her back to Hangzhou."

"Etc., etc."

Gu Yi interrupted Meng Tianyin's words.

"The building chief is saying that Duan Yi'an is the concubine of Chai Mansion? Which Chai Mansion?"

Meng Tianyin lowered his voice: "It's Chai Yonghui, the third son of Chai Zongxun, the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty."

Hearing this, Gu Yi was quite frightened, and hurriedly said: "Isn't Emperor Zhou Gong dispatched to Fangzhou by the Taizu? Why is his son in Kaifeng?"

"This matter is secret, and I don't know much about it. I only know that Juan Wuxi was in Chai Yonghui's hands at the time. After Chai Yonghui died, Duan Yi'an got Juan Wuxi, and Han Song met Duan Yi'an by chance, and brought her to Hangzhou. "

"This--"

Gu Yi was at a loss for a moment. Chai Yonghui was a descendant of the Later Zhou Dynasty, so it was not surprising that the resentment fell into his hands.

It's just that after Emperor Taizu "added the yellow robe", Feng Chai Zongxun became King Zheng, and Empress Dowager Fu became Empress Dowager Zhou, and sent their mother and son, along with other relatives of the Chai family, to Fangzhou.

It stands to reason that the descendants of Chai Zongxun should also be in Fangzhou. How could they appear in Kyoto?
Gu Yi couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that these were all royal secrets, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and said:
"So, Duan Yi'an went to Chai Yonghui's side with all his heart and soul, just to get Juan Wrathy?"

"Well, maybe it is." Meng Tianyin looked at Gu Shenyan, hesitated for a moment, "About Duan Yi'an, I only found out that she was actually Chai Yonghui's concubine on the day she assassinated Han Song."

"I don't care about ordinary things, and I have no interest in Juan Wuxi. Han Song and I grew up together, and his father has been loyal to my father for many years. Therefore, Han Songzhi is looking for Juan Wuxi, and I don't want to go too far. obstruct, and Han Song rarely told me about his plan."

After Meng Tianyin finished speaking, she felt ashamed for not providing more useful information.

Gu Tixing thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for telling the truth. Xiao Yi, you send Mr. Meng off."

After sending Meng Tianyin away, Gu Yi returned to the living room: "Father, how much credibility is there in the words of Mr. Meng?"

"Oh?" Gu Tixing looked at Gu Yi critically, and asked, "Xiao Yi thinks, how credible is Mr. Meng's words?"

"I don't think he's lying, it's just about Duan Yi'an, I still have doubts."

"Xiao Yi doesn't need to talk about it. He knows what Meng Tianyin said." Gu Shenyan interrupted Gu Yi and said, "By the way, Du Zhaoyan rescued Xiaochen. Is Xiaochen safe now?"

Gu Yi was puzzled when his father kept silent about Duan Yi'an, but he followed Gu Shenyan's order and stopped asking, and replied respectfully:
"Brother Du and Miss Xiaochen are both in the Huxin Pavilion now, with Uncle Wu here, even if the people from the state government go there, they can't do anything to them."

Gu Shenyan nodded in satisfaction: "That's great, you should pay more attention, so that the child won't be caught by Wang Qinruo's men again."

Speaking of this, Gu Yi told Gu Shenyan exactly what happened at the Shocui Tower just now, and said:
"Lin Xiandao didn't take advantage of the Shocui Tower, and he will definitely fan the flames in front of Wang Qinruo. I'm worried that they will treat the Shocui Tower."

Gu Shenyan waved his hand: "Shuocuilou is an official restaurant, Wang Qinruo won't do anything to it."

Gu Yi suddenly understood that Shuocuilou was a big taxpayer, and Wang Qin would only attack Shuocuilou if he was full and had nothing to do.

The father and son were speechless for a while, seeing that Gu Yi was still sitting still, Gu Shenyan looked sideways and said, "What else is there?"

"This..." Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, hesitantly said, "Father, aren't you going back home today?"

The expression on Gu Shenyan's face froze instantly, his right hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and he glanced at Gu Yi expressionlessly: "You're starting to care about daddy's business."

"Father, today is Mother's birthday, you—"

"Okay, there's no need to talk about it. I'm busy with criminal matters, and my father still has business affairs to deal with. You can go back."

"Dad, dad—"

Gu Shenyan's tall back quickly disappeared through the side door, and Gu Yi silently watched the direction he was leaving for a long time.
Gu's mansion is only a state capital street away from the Criminal Division. When Gu Yi returned to the mansion, his eldest brother Gu Sizhi was calling the servants to arrange the courtyard.

Seeing Gu Yi coming back alone, the smile on Gu Sizhi's face paused, and he patted his younger brother's shoulder earnestly: "Mother is in the Buddhist hall, I'll leave it to you."

Gu Yi nodded gently.

When they came to the backyard, the servants greeted Gu Yi one after another when they saw him. Gu Yi nodded in response one by one, and quietly entered the Buddhist hall.

A woman in deep clothes was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue. Looking from where Gu Yi was, the tall and mighty Buddha statue reflected the woman's petite and thin body.

Gu Yi was heartbroken for a moment, feeling resentful towards his father for neglecting his mother.

Although the father and mother have been husband and wife for decades, but these years, they seem like strangers to each other.

"Mom, the baby is back."

The woman didn't open her eyes, she just gave a faint "hmm".

Gu Yi came over and knelt down in front of the Buddha with the woman, took out something from his arms, and said seriously: "Mother, my son went to Baoyue Temple yesterday and asked for a peace talisman for mother, mother should take it."

"Xiao Yi has a heart." The woman responded lightly, "Let it go, don't talk too much in front of the Buddha."

"Yes."

Gu Yi closed his eyes tightly, clasped his hands together, and made a pious wish in front of the Buddha statue. At the end, he stood up and bowed deeply to the woman: "Mother, take your leave."

The woman nodded imperceptibly.

After leaving the Buddhist hall, Gu Yi sighed heavily, and Gu Sizhi walked over: "How is it?"

Gu Yi shook his head helplessly, and Gu Sizhi also sighed.

"What about the second brother and younger sister?"

"On the first day of the trip, I went to the Liuyifang Musical Instrument Shop. The little girl's wild girl has been missing since yesterday, and I don't know where she went crazy."

Gu Sizhi expressed that he was very tired. His father didn't come home, his mother didn't care about things, and his younger brothers and sisters only knew to run out all day. In such a huge family, he had to take care of everything up and down.

Gu Yi smiled and said, "Brother, you have worked hard."

"You boy, it's good to know that big brother has worked hard." Gu Sizhi punched Gu Yi's shoulder and sighed, "You said, what is the reason why father and mother are at odds this time? Dad didn't even come back for mother's birthday. gone."

In the past, although the father and mother were indifferent, they would still have a symbolic "joy" on each other's birthdays.

Gu Yi spread his hands: "Who knows?"

"Aren't you known as a reasoning prodigy in Hangzhou? You can't even figure out your own affairs. I think your name as a reasoning prodigy is purely absurd."

Gu Yi looked deeply at his elder brother, his eyes sparkling:
"I do have a guess."

"What guess?"

"I'll tell my elder brother when I'm sure about this guess."

Seeing that Gu Yi made a circle instead, Gu Sizhi gave a spoiled smile:
"Okay, wait until you're sure. You have to make sure quickly, or if your parents keep ignoring each other like this, brother, I won't be able to hold on anymore."

For a moment, Gu Yi felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavy.
