After chatting for a while, Yunxi looked into the distance and suddenly said, "Okay, I have to leave."

"Oh well!"

Gu Ming knew that she should have a task, so he nodded and responded.

Anyway, there are opportunities to meet again in the future.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

Yunxi squatted down again and asked with a loving look on Qianxun's little hand.

"The person is called Mu Qianxun."

"Well, my sister gives you a small gift..."

Yun Xi raised his hand and a pearl appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"Thank you, Sister Yunxi!"

The little girl was bought up immediately. She said politely and took it with a look of joy.

Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, but quickly stepped forward and said, "No, no, Qianxun, please return it to Sister Yunxi."

"Why?"

Chihiro was unhappy and pouted.

"Miss Yun, this gift is really precious, why don't you give her another smaller one..."

Helplessly, Gu Ming had to smile bitterly at Yunxi.

That's right, this pearl is really big, about the size of a pigeon egg, and emits a charming fluorescence. You don't need to guess that it is a rare product.

If you want to sell it on the market, it may be worth thousands of taels of silver?

After all, things are precious because they are rare.

"No matter how precious it is, it is not as good as the Qianli Mirror you gave last time. Okay, this is what I gave to Chihiro... Chihiro, my sister is gone, I will take you to play next time."

"Hehe, goodbye Sister Yunxi!"

It's really a child, and he bought it with a pearl and waved his hands happily.

"this……"

Looking at Yuxi's back as he was leaving, Gu Ming shook his head helplessly.

Then he looked at Chihiro and said, "Chenghiro, you cannot ask other people's gifts at will in the future, especially valuable gifts."

"Where is it expensive? When they are on the island, there are more pearls than this one..."

Obviously, Chihiro didn't think this thing was expensive.

Indeed, when she was on the island, she had seen too many rare treasures...

Of course, it is only relatively speaking. For people in the secular world, it may be called a rare treasure. In the eyes of the little girl, or to the Mu family, it is just a few gadgets.

After all, the height and level of both sides are different.

After saying this, Gu Ming seemed to have some insight and nodded slightly, "Okay, then you have put it away. Maybe there are many pearls like this in your house, but in this world, it is really precious."

In order to give Qianxun a specific image, Gu Ming simply embodies it: "If you take this pearl in the city, you can at least change it to a large courtyard, there are many maids and many delicious food..."

"Wow?"

Chihiro drooled faintly.

"Brother-in-law, why don't we sell it and buy a large yard, and then buy a lot of delicious food?"

Gu Ming: "..."

I would have known that I wouldn't have said that.

"Qianxun, this is a gift from Sister Yuxi kindly gave you. How can I sell it? Besides, my brother-in-law is not short of money now...

Well, at least you can live a worry-free life.

Besides, isn’t my brother-in-law working hard to make money now?

I will definitely buy a large yard for you to live in in the future, but you are not allowed to think about selling pearls or something.”

"Uh-huh!"

Chihiro is good at this. He admits his mistakes very quickly and is not the kind of rebellious child.

This is what Gu Ming likes and feels most.

At first, I thought I had picked up a small bag, but now I don’t think so anymore.

At first, Chihiro is good to take.

He doesn't have to bother with it. He listens to his words at home and never runs around alone.

Of course, this is not her nature.

When she was on the island, she was covered with footprints. After such an accident, she began to become sensible.

Secondly, this girl has great potential.

It can be said that if you really want to fight, Gu Ming is no match for her at all now.

In addition, the little white fox, who has unknown strength, is a great help to Gu Ming.

In life, with such a happy fruit, there is also a kind of warmth of relatives relying on each other.

Afterwards, Gu Ming took Qianxun to the ancient temple for a while, and then he started to return home.

...

Two days later.

A storm is coming quietly.

At noon, Gu Ming was called by Jin Buhuan after dinner.

"Gu Bantu, you have to be prepared..."

As soon as we met, Jin Buhuan said this.

Gu Ming frowned and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with the captain? Is there anyone trying to attack his subordinates?"

"Things are not that simple..."

Jin Buhuan shook his head with a serious face.

After a moment of silence, he said again: "This time, the opponent came straight to the captain, and it can even be understood as coming for Lord Ma."

"Master Ma? This..."

Gu Ming vaguely guessed that a high-level confrontation might be about to begin.

However, high-level confrontations usually begin at the lower level of both sides. At that time, I don’t know how many people will be involved.

"I guess you have heard some rumors that once the prefect leaves office, one person may be promoted and taken over to his position.

The situation is still unclear, and each has its own advantages and political achievements.

That's why...forget it, you don't need to mention these processes, you know what's going on.

It was calm before, and everyone relied on their own abilities.

But now, the other party seemed to be unable to sit still, and actually started to play some tricks..."

"Master Captain, what do you mean by saying, what actions did Lord Bi do? It has something to do with you and me?"

"Haha, not bad. Two years ago, Lord Ma had a major case that caused a sensation in Gusu Prefecture.

At that time, more than a dozen children were missing in Gusu Prefecture, aged between three and ten, both men and women.

Among them, seven or eight are children from wealthy families, and even children from officials from Gusu Prefecture.

The case also alarmed the court and ordered the Gusu Mansion to solve the case within a time limit.

At that time, Lord Ma was the one who was mainly responsible for the case, including this captain, who also participated in the case.

After investigation, the abductor of the child was suspected to be related to the Hu people..."

"Hu people? Are those Western Regions people?"

“Yes, but not just them, but locals are involved.

At first, Lord Ma suspected that the group of people were kidnapped and wanted to extort money.

But after careful analysis, it doesn't look very similar.

After all, the other party not all kidnapped the children of rich families, and several children of ordinary people.

After a closer look, I found another suspicious point.

Although these children have different ages, their birthdays are on the same day...

Therefore, it was initially suspected that the other party might be an evil organization and arrested these children for sacrifice to heaven and gods.

So the whole city was deployed for control, including the surrounding areas of Gusu, and many people were sent to investigate secretly.

In the end...it failed.

A few days later, the children's bones were discovered by local people in a valley west of the city.

The situation is terrible...

Moreover, there is a platform similar to an altar nearby, which further confirms Lord Ma’s original inference.

In a fit of anger, Lord Ma personally led a team to search everywhere, and all the Hu people in the city were taken to the yamen to investigate one by one.
