No.5 Gongzhong

Inside the nursing home.

Gongzhonghao stepped forward respectfully. "I don't know why the abbot asked us to come here?"

The gray-and-white old man held a Buddhist bead and stretched out his other hand. "Master Gongzhong, I invite you to come over and have a look at this thing."

He immediately took it with both hands, frowning.

"What is this? Let me take a look." No.5 snatched it away, looked at it in the palm of his hand, and murmured with his head down: "This, I seem to have seen it not long ago, where did I see it?"

Gong Zhonghao asked calmly: "Excuse me, Abbot, where did you find this?"

"Master Gongzhong, this was discovered by a monk doctor when he was cleaning the accountant room that was on fire."

No.5 stepped forward, stuffed the thing to him, stared at the clear profile face, and asked casually: "Little mouse, have you seen this thing before?"

He turned his head, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "It should belong to Baili's family."

"When you said that, I remembered. I saw it at Baili Zhiqiu's place. Could it be that Baili Zhiqiu was calling for a thief, not a thief, anyway, that's what it meant!" No.5 tilted his head in thought.

"No, it won't. I know Zhiqiu's character. He will definitely not participate in it."

Hearing this firm tone, No.5's expression changed abruptly, the corners of his mouth curled down, and he said with a long face, "What the county magistrate said is very true, and I don't know that lord well, so I shouldn't accuse him casually."

Gong Zhonghao sensed the unhappiness of the person in front of him, and changed the subject: "Abbot, have any women and children disappeared these days?"

"This morning, I ordered the monks and doctors to count the number of people, and no one was found missing. Thanks to my lord's thoughtfulness, I invited the monks from Yuanshan Temple to guard the inside and outside. I feel that those villains dare not do anything wrong for the time being."

"Abbot, let's take our leave first."

"You two, walk slowly!"

Seeing him stepping out of the threshold in a hurry, No.5 followed closely. "Little mouse, where are we going?"

Gongzhong stopped, turned around and answered, "Go to the Yueyue Pavilion."

A few words fell into his ears, and No.5 pouted. "If you want to go, you go by yourself, anyway, the young master will not accompany you."

Gong Zhonghao stared at this moody man, and couldn't help but smile. "Fifth Young Master, are you unwilling to go, or are you afraid to go?"

This person was teasing himself again, No.5 came angrily in front of him, and shouted: "What do you mean you dare not go, I don't want to disturb you guys!"

Gong Zhonghao raised his slender fingers like bamboo branches, gently touched his frown wrinkled with anger, tenderly between his brows. "In my heart, there are only us, not you."

"No, no!" The young man waved his hand with a smile, half of his black hair fluttering in the wind.

Seeing the person coming, he slowly lowered his hand, walked towards him, and asked coldly, "Why are you?"

Xuan Shiyan rubbed his eyes with one hand, pretending to be pitiful. "No, why can't it be me? Your appearance makes me so sad."

"The person the magistrate wants to see is not you, but the patrol envoy, you are making fun of yourself!" No.5 was still angry.

The envoy walked up to the speaker, winked, and said cheerfully: "Young master, it's interesting, very interesting, I discovered a secret, and I came here to tell you."

No.5 raised some interest, and asked with a smile: "Secret, could it be that Xuan Shaoqing discovered such a beautiful woman?"

"No, I think the reason why the children of the Gu clan have been able to gain a firm foothold in the court over the past few years may be because they have a strong backer." on the shoulders of the person in front of you.

Gongzhonghao suddenly increased his tone: "How do you say that?"

The hand that made the envoy trembled, and he quickly put it down, turned around to look at him, and smiled brightly. "I didn't follow Baili Yanxi on purpose. It was entirely because of Zhiqiu and Yiye's affairs, so I wanted to persuade him. Unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered that he and Gu Yi were secretly meeting in a restaurant. It’s not that there are expert guards around, I can hear some of it.”

"Little mouse, let me just say that Baili Zhiqiu may have something to do with the infirmary, but you just don't believe it."
