Chapter 639 Mother and Child Gu
Jiang Youzhen returned to his seat, seemingly leisurely, but always paying attention to Huang Mintao's every move.
But until lunch, the other party did not make any movement. However, this was within Jiang Youzhen's expectations. Judging from his behavior, he probably didn't know that she had sent someone to follow and investigate him.
"Sir Huang, the things delivered today are late? Do you want to take them with me first?" After Jiang Youzhen sorted out the books, files and documents in his hands, he placed them all in the bookcase next to him.
This is your own private bookcase and can be locked.
"I'd better wait until next time to taste the delicacies in your house. They will be delivered soon today. I will just wait for them."
Huang Mintao was washing his brush, then looked up and said to Jiang Youzhen with a smile.
"Then I'll go first." Jiang Youzhen nodded, then left the hall and went to the next room.
When Huang Mintao saw Jiang Youzhen leave, he immediately looked behind him. His eyes fell on the lock on the bookcase, and he looked away after a moment.
After a short rest after dinner, Jiang Youzhen planned to get up and go to the Ministry of Personnel.
When he saw Mu Yuan on the way, he immediately came to meet him. He saluted first, and after checking that there was no one around, he whispered, "Sir, as you expected, he did it."
Jiang Youzhen sneered, "You can't wait any longer."
"Always keep an eye on his every move, and we solved this matter in the past two days."
Mu Yuan immediately nodded and said, "Yes!"
Jiang Youzhen went to the Ministry of Personnel and continued to copy documents. In fact, she had almost finished it. There were only a few officials in the capital, and she was quite familiar with them.
As for the local officials, she had searched through documents from many years ago and had compiled most of them. The rest were low-ranking clerks and military generals.
The Ministry of Personnel also has many records of the military officers' official positions, but those of low rank are also a troublesome matter to add up at once. She plans to ask Fang Zhongyi, who should know more about these.
I looked at the time and there was still one hour before the end of the work.
But she thought it was almost time and she still had some small things to do.
As she returned to the Hanlin Academy, she was thinking about how to make the plan more thorough.
After thinking for a long time, she felt that even if she found out, it would not cause much trouble. In this case, it would be better to let Huang Mintao stir up more trouble.
The day after tomorrow is the day when the Emperor personally selects officials from the Hanlin Academy to give lectures at Wenyuan Pavilion. The timing is just right.
She has been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and finally she has to show her face in front of the emperor.
After being dismissed from his post, Huang Mintao returned home and went to the study immediately.
He took out the file from the bookcase, opened it and took a look. After finally confirming it, he immediately took out the copper basin, lit the file on fire, and threw it into the copper basin.
As he watched the flames devour the files bit by bit, a smile appeared on his lips.
Suddenly, a figure wearing a cloak appeared in the study. A cool breeze swept over, causing Huang Mintao to shiver in the weather that was about to arrive in early summer.
He quickly raised his head to look at the person who came and was immediately shocked. The cloaked man covered his entire body and his face could not be seen clearly. But every time Huang Mintao saw him, he would shudder and feel a chill all over his body.
"Why are you here now?" Huang Mintao was very nervous. This man came here in broad daylight.
He quickly stepped forward, opened the window and looked out. The cloaked man sneered at his appearance.
"Don't worry! No one will notice. With all these good-for-nothings in your family, they can't even see a piece of my clothes."
Huang Mintao curled his lips, but when he closed the window and turned around, a smile appeared on his face.
"But something?"
Speaking of this, the cloaked man snorted coldly, "You are in trouble."
Huang Mintao was stunned. "What do you mean? How did I get into trouble?"
"Did you find someone from the Red Gate?"
Huang Mintao was suddenly startled. "Yes! I told you before that someone was following me. Since you guys were unwilling to help, I had to find someone to solve the problem myself. Fortunately, the Red Gate is a gang organization. As long as you can afford the money, they don't care who the employer is."
His family was originally a merchant family, and they became a wealthy family, so naturally they couldn't be too clean.
His father had done all the shameful things that happened because of the invitation from the Red Gate.
"Idiot! That person should just be following you and won't attack you. I already dispatched people to hide in the dark yesterday, but you found someone from the Red Gate and he killed my people."
The cloak is so popular, this Huang Mintao is really too afraid of death.
After discovering that he was being followed, he immediately asked himself to take action. But now was an extraordinary period, and he did not dare to act rashly.
Fearing that Huang Mintao might do something bad, he thought about it and decided to send a guard yesterday to investigate. Unexpectedly, the guard was killed by the people from Hongmen.
Huang Mintao didn't expect that he would end up making things worse. "Why didn't you tell me? But how do you know that your people were killed by the Red Gate people?"
"When the Red Gate assassins accept a mission, they will cut off a portion of the corpse's little finger after killing someone."
Huang Mintao was dissatisfied when he heard this. It was just the loss of a guard. Was it necessary to mobilize so many troops? Just because this guard was easily killed by the Red Gate Death Soldiers, it showed that this guard's martial arts was not very good.
The cloaked man snorted when he saw Huang Mintao's nonchalant look, "Originally, things weren't that complicated, but you muddied the waters. I put a mother-child Gu in the body of the guard. After the host dies, as long as it stays within five breaths and doesn't exceed the range, the child Gu can find a new host and survive.
But when I noticed the unusual movement of the sub-Gu, I immediately went to look for the sub-Gu, and found that the sub-Gu was dead. "
Huang Mintao has always felt disgusted by the poisonous insects that this person talked about, and he has no idea about their habits.
"No host was found, so isn't it normal for him to die?"
"No! After it found a new host, the new host was killed." The cloaked man's sinister voice sounded.
"Are you saying that the assassin from the Red Gate is dead?" Huang Mintao's expression became serious and he was very frightened.
If the Red Gate warriors died, the people who were following him would definitely do something bad to him.
"Yes, he was killed by an expert in archery. Because as long as he is within fifty steps, the Zi Gu can get into his body when he is not paying attention. This person did not get close to the Red Gate Death Soldiers, which means he used a crossbow."
Huang Mintao's face turned pale. Who could it be? But why didn't that person kill the people from Hongmen and do nothing to him? Could it be that he was just trying to monitor him?
"It's a pity that I haven't found the body yet, and I can't sense the mother-child Gu anymore." The cloaked man was very upset. The mother-child Gu was not an ordinary thing. He had spent a lot of effort to refine it.
He tried for ten years before he finally created this pair. When he first experimented with the guards, there was no trace of the sub-Gu.
Although he now knew the formula, the herbs needed to refine it were hard to come by, and it would take another year or two to refine it.
