The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

Chapter 19 Stealing Children

"Grandma, there seems to be a child crying." Gu Wenque had a martial arts background and was quite courageous. He immediately looked around and saw no children.

Gu Mengyin took out a Tongling as big as a bull's eye from her waist. The Tongling was held in her hand without any wind.

"Auntie, what is this?"

"Ring the bell of resentment. If there is an innocent soul nearby, it will ring."

"Dingling, dinging, dinging," as soon as Gu Mengyin finished speaking, the ringing bell in her hand began to shake gently.

A dark shadow quickly flashed through the alley beside him. Gu Mengyin's eyebrows darkened and she turned around to chase after him.

"Grandma, wait for me."

The black shadow was extremely fast and disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.

Gu Mengyin held out a tracking talisman with her fingertips. The talisman quickly followed the black shadow, and finally disappeared outside an inconspicuous house.

The dark shadow entered the house.

Gu Mengyin was about to turn over and go in when there was a rush of footsteps behind her.

"You little thief, stop here."

The imperial guards on night patrol quickly stepped forward and surrounded Gu Mengyin.

The leader of the imperial army, Gu Mengyin, glanced up and down and asked warily: "Who are you, and why are you still wandering on the street in the middle of the night?"

Gu Mengyin looked calm and said: "I just came out of a friend's house and am ready to go home."

The Imperial Guard sneered, "Many children have been lost in the city recently. I think you are the thief who stole the children. Get her!"

"Stop, stop it!" Gu Wenque finally caught up and stopped in front of Gu Mengyin, panting heavily.

"Li He, this is the eldest lady of our Gu family. She is not a thief at all. We came back so late because we had something to do tonight. Don't arrest the wrong person."

Li He sneered, "No wonder, I just said that so many children have gone missing recently but no clues can be found. It turns out that you, the traitor, worked together with those people to capture them all!"

"You, Li He, don't slander anyone!" Gu Wenque was so angry that his neck turned red.

Li He sneered even more, "I said you are thieves but you are, take them down!"

"You kid is clearly seeking revenge!"

Gu Wenque and Li He were in different teams. They had a little friction and had a fight before. Li He felt embarrassed when he lost to Gu Wenque. He always wanted to regain his position, but finally got this opportunity. He won't let him go easily.

"Yes, what can you do, arrest him!"

Gu Mengyin thought about the black shadow and just wanted to go in quickly to find out.

She raised her hand impatiently and slapped Li He on the face.

"what!"

Li He's body drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air like a rag, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Hurry up." Gu Mengyin urged impatiently.

Gu Wenque recovered from the shock again.

"okay."

More than a dozen Forbidden Army trash seemed to be left in a dark corner of the alley, and Gu Wenque still felt that he still had more to say.

"Don't run around here, I'll go in and take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Mengyin turned over and entered the house behind her.

It was quiet in the house, and there was no reaction inside despite the loud noise made outside the door just now.

Gu Mengyin searched around the yard but couldn't find the shadow, so she had no choice but to climb over the wall and leave.

As soon as she left, there was a phantom of a child looming behind her.

"Grandma, what were you chasing just now?" Gu Wenque didn't see the black shadow, he just watched Gu Mengyin run and he followed suit.

Gu Mengyin frowned slightly and shook her head, "It's nothing, maybe it's a little wild cat."

"Oh." Gu Wenque didn't think much about it.After the two returned to Gu Mansion, they went back to rest.

Unexpectedly, before dawn, the Gu family was surrounded by officials.

The second master, Gu Ming'an, was about to go out to go to the Yamen. When he came out, he saw his colleague blocking the door with a solemn face, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Old Wang, you are already full. Why did you bring so many people to my house so early in the morning?"

Mr. Wang patted Gu Ming'an's hand away and said, "Three more children were lost in the city last night. The Imperial Army found that the suspect had hid in the Gu Mansion. Your Excellency ordered us to come and search."

When Gu Ming'an heard that, it was okay. He was also co-investigating the missing child case. He knew that Jing Zhaoyin had a headache because of this matter, but he had a headache, and he couldn't just catch people with his eyes closed.

"Why is there a child-stealing suspect in our house? There must be a mistake."

Wang Captou took out the search warrant uprightly, and now Gu Ming'an had nothing to say.

"Okay, okay, we are not afraid of shadows. You can search us."

Wang Captou led the officials into the Gu Mansion, "Call everyone to the front yard."

Gu Ming'an was extremely angry, but he still found someone to explain the situation to Gu Jiancheng.

Gu Jiancheng was stunned after hearing this, and then became angry.

He thought that the Gu family was innocent, how could he bear to be framed like this?

Gu Jiancheng brought his sons to Wang Baotou.

Wang Captou said politely: "Is everyone here?"

"Wang Captou, you are going too far. How do you expect our Gu family to behave in the future after you search like this?"

Before Wang Captou could speak, Li He, with a bruised nose and swollen face, barged in with a group of forbidden troops.

"Excessive? When we were on patrol last night, we saw Gu Wenque and a woman sneaking outside someone's house. Early the next morning, someone went to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to report that their child was missing. If Gu Wenque Que and the others are innocent, why did they attack us last night?"

They knew that Gu Wenque and Gu Mengyin went out overnight last night, but how could they steal the child.

"This is just a misunderstanding. There was a reason for what happened last night."

"No matter what it is, let us search the house first."

"Search for me."

Li He gave an order, and the imperial troops poured into the Gu Mansion one after another.

Wang Captou wanted to keep his relationship with Gu Ming'an from becoming so tense, but with Li He here, he couldn't say anything, so he could only ask the official to follow him to search.

"You guys are just going too far."

Gu Mengyin was drowsily sleeping in the yard when she heard a movement coming from the yard.

She frowned impatiently and turned over to continue sleeping.

But the movement in the yard was so loud that she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

The veins on her forehead jumped suddenly, and she sat up from the bed.

"What are you doing? This is my eldest lady's house. No one can go in until the eldest lady wakes up!"

Li He had a scowl on his face, it was this eldest lady, he wanted her to know her mistake today!

Li He pushed the maid away and kicked the door open.

But as soon as he stepped in with his front foot, he was knocked out by a powerful impact.

"what!"

Li He bumped into the Forbidden Army behind him, and several people fell to the ground.

"There are children inside. There must be children hidden inside. Let me go in and search."

"Who is disturbing my dream?"

A light cyan figure leaned against the door frame, her long black hair hanging casually on her shoulders, and the angry eyes under her hair glowed with a faint red light, making people shudder.
