Chapter 295 Ubang
"Then, the madam came. On the surface, she smiled and served us tea and water, but in fact... she didn't want the courtesan to say anything she shouldn't. So the courtesan started crying and laughing, and the madam said that it was because of her love of crying and laughing that she won the favor of more adults. We didn't dare to ask what was going on, so we could only cooperate with her acting. Maybe the madam got tired of it, and left when she saw that we were about to leave. The young lady then quietly told us that Madam Rong was beautiful and untainted by the world, and it was really a waste of her talent to stay in Hua Man Lou."
Zhao Huaiqing paused after he finished speaking, and looked at Gu Qingyun with a burning gaze, "The young lady's voice was trembling when she said this, and she seemed very scared... In the end, she opened her mouth, but no sound came out."
As they spoke, Zhao Huaiqing and Xin Hai began to use their mouths to shape their words. Gu Qingyun and Wu Huan's pupils could not help but dilate. These two words were a little too clear, "Wu Bang."
Wubang, a nomadic people on the southwestern border of the Dayan Dynasty, are good at riding and shooting. In recent years, their Khan has become more and more ferocious and seems to want to swallow up the Dayan Dynasty. They can be regarded as a strong competitor of the Dayan Dynasty in recent years.
If there weren't a few capable generals on the border, they would have been invaded long ago.
"Wu Bang? Is that what I thought it meant?" Wu Huan smacked his lips. Over the years, the Dali Temple had caught quite a few spies, not to mention the Ministry of Justice, the Kyoto Yamen and the yamen in various places. The number of spies caught was endless.
"Madam Rong is a beauty of the country. She was taken to Wubang, but she is untainted by the muddy water. It is possible to give her to the royal family there."
Xin Hai explained in a rare way.
To be honest, this is not impossible, it is even the most likely possibility... Then a young lady disappeared under the noses of the entire Kyoto Prefecture, and disappeared very cleanly, and even began to erase all traces of her existence.
If he was taken to Ubang, everything would be explained.
She was brought to Wubang by the spies left behind in the Dayan Dynasty. No matter what the reason was, Madam Rong was nothing more than a plaything in their eyes.
As for a plaything, if you can gain the Khan's trust, you can get the information you want.
If she can't get any information, with Madam Rong's ability, it would be good for her to accompany the royal family and get something out of it.
Even if one wants to achieve the purpose of cooperation, it would be much more convenient to have a young lady in the middle. She can pass messages between them, and it is easier to do it with her soft jade and warm fragrance than with several grown men.
But no matter what the purpose was, this was a horrifying thing. A young lady who was well-known throughout Kyoto Prefecture was taken thousands of miles away to be a spy, or even just a plaything...
"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. What if that courtesan is just talking nonsense? But if this is true, we must report it to the emperor immediately."
There is no trivial matter in espionage. Once there is such a suspicion, most of the time it will require the secret guards to take action and go thousands of miles away to investigate.
Of course, because of this, Gu Qingyun knew that whether Madam Rong was alive or dead, she would most likely not come back.
Then, Madam Xiaorong probably knew something, which is why she died in public.
Of course, she may have climbed to that position step by step, only to realize that she could never turn back.
"I'm going to see the governor of Kyoto." Gu Qingyun closed his eyes tiredly. He had been looking through files and looking for clues everywhere in the past few days. It could almost be said that he was looking for clues in the cracks.
The other party is most likely an experienced person who did a great job on this matter, cleanly and neatly, making it impossible for anyone to find him.
Walking on the road, Gu Qingyun couldn't help but recall everything about Hua Manlou last year.
Although Madam Na Rong was a courtesan, she was not under anyone's surveillance. It could be said that anything could happen in that place where all kinds of people mixed together.
In this case, let Madam Rong become famous, and then disappear. At least when she is given away, it will be an exquisite gift and will please people.
But how did the current courtesan know this?
Perhaps she was also asked if she was willing to go to an enemy country? Perhaps someone had told her that the greater the fame, the more dangerous it was.
Or maybe, as long as it is not clean, it will not be remembered by so many people.
She actually did it. In the past year and a half, Hua Manlou no longer made as much money as before. Even though she became an oiran, few people remembered her.
As Gu Qingyun was thinking, he walked to the front of the Kyoto government office.
"Sir Shaoqing, why are you here?" The clerk at the door recognized him and greeted him loudly.
I don’t know if the Kyoto governor has brainwashed everyone recently, but when they see Gu Qingyun, they feel like they have seen a savior.
Gu Qingyun paused, and before he could react, the governor of Kyoto was already in front of him.
"Master Shaoqing, have you discovered anything?"
. . . . . . Gu Qingyun.
Gu Qingyun was always speechless when he saw the look on Kyoto prefect's face.
The door was not a good place to talk. When the governor of Kyoto saw Gu Qingyun's expression, he immediately understood and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Gu Qingyun nodded helplessly. There was nothing he could do. Madam Rong's case had indeed been handed over to the Dali Temple and must be investigated by the Dali Temple.
"Have you discovered anything recently?" Gu Qingyun took the initiative.
The governor of Kyoto scratched his head and said, "I read the coroner's report again and it seems that there is no obvious trace of poison. I really don't know if Madam Rong made a mistake."
Gu Qingyun suddenly felt a blackness in front of his eyes and an intense pain came from his head, as if countless steel needles were piercing his brain at the same time.
I didn’t sleep well last night, and I didn’t sleep well the night before. If I continue like this, it will either shorten my life or…
"Failed? She practiced for so long, and that night was her debut night, how could she suddenly fail?"
Gu Qingyun didn't believe it. How could such a coincidence happen?
"I don't believe it either, but I can't find any new clues after searching. The owner and madam of Yan Gui Pavilion are both cunning people. They just give you Tai Chi no matter what you ask them. They keep beating around the bush."
The governor of Kyoto was also very annoyed by this. It would have been fine if he didn't know anything about it, but doing Tai Chi was really annoying.
When asked about key points, he pretended not to understand, and when asked again, he started begging for mercy.
I couldn't find any evidence and couldn't bring it back for questioning.
"These brothels and brothels really know how to... Every household knows how to practice Tai Chi. It's really annoying."
Gu Qingyun had a deep understanding that compared to those who cared about their reputation, these so-called people in the underworld were even more difficult to deal with. Some of them were always shameless and slippery like loaches, and there was no way they could deal with them at all.
Walking to the desk of the Kyoto prefect, Gu Qingyun looked around before telling him the news he had received today.
