How to break the heroine OOC

The next day.

After coming down to court, Gu Huaijin was called to the imperial study by the empress Si Yi.When the female officer led her in, there was already another young civil servant standing in the imperial study, and this young civil servant was a young girl in her prime.

His name is Yan Congxu, from Huaxi County, Binzhou.Nine years ago, at the age of ten, she won the first prize in the palace examination, becoming the youngest champion since the founding of the Liang Kingdom, and she became famous for a while.Si Yi saw that he was still young, so he didn't directly appoint an official, but let him wait for the Zhaowen Hall.

Three years ago, Yan Congxu accidentally solved the massacre in Yongxingfang, and was later transferred to Dali Temple.After joining the job, this person is like a god in judging cases, and has repeatedly solved strange cases. In less than two years, he was promoted to the head of Dali Temple.At only 19 years old, without relying on the protection of his ancestors, he is already a fifth-rank official wearing a red robe.

Although the two were officials in the same dynasty, Gu Huaijin had only met her a few times, so they could not be regarded as close acquaintances.Seeing her here today, Gu Huaijin's heart is like a mirror. His Majesty attaches great importance to the matter of the Black Fire Sect.

"My subject, Gu Huaijin, has seen His Majesty." Gu Huaijin bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me." Si Yi waved his hand and said, "Huaijin came just in time, this is Yan Sizheng of Dali Temple."

"Yan Sizheng, do you recognize General Gu?"

"Little General Gu is very resourceful, and the battle of Pingchuan was very exciting." Yan Congxu glanced at Gu Huaijin, with admiration on his face.

Gu Huaijin nodded slightly to show humility.

The battle of Pingchuan can be said to be the battle of Gu Huaijin's fame.In the 26th year of Yongxing, the Di people raided Pingchuan, and the coach of Pingchuan was too late to deal with it and lost the opportunity.As a reinforcement, Gu Huaijin did not go straight to Pingchuan, but turned around Pingchuan, outflanked the Di army from behind, and then beheaded General Di Ren in front of the formation, turning the tide of the battle and turning defeat into victory.It was also because of this battle that she won the title of General Longwu.

Si Yi looked at the two young officials next to him with serious expressions, and said in a deep voice, "I want the two of you to thoroughly investigate the Wanhe County Demon Dao together."

"The minister takes orders."

"The minister obeys the order."

The palace road is long, with no end in sight.The ministers of the scattered court had already left, and Gu Huaijin and Yan Congxu walked side by side.

"Little General Gu, after receiving the case documents from Wanhe County, I checked the disappearance files of the capital city and several surrounding counties in the past year, and found some clues."

"Except for the four children in Fengyu Village, the remaining seventeen children in the cave were indeed lost by the capital city and surrounding counties as General Gu found out."

This matter was indeed the result of Gu Huaijin's questioning of those children on the second day, except that they were all from the vicinity of Kyoto, they had nothing in common.These children are male and female, and their ages are different. The older ones are more than ten years old, and the younger ones are only four or five years old. They were all drugged and taken away. After waking up, they have been detained in a room. The dark room was taken to the villa together at the end, and they didn't remember any useful clues.

Before leaving Fengyu Village, the village had handed over those children to the Wanhe county government, and the county government also arranged government servants to escort these children home.

"But there is something weird." Yan Congxu paused, expressing his doubts, "Although the sexes and ages are different, these children were all born in July."

"Another point is that besides the seventeen children near Kyoto, four children born in July have disappeared in the past two months."

Gu Huaijin was a little surprised, she had been back to Beijing for less than two days, and the case documents from Wanhe County were only delivered to Dali Temple yesterday.In less than twelve hours, Yan Sizheng had already found out the relevant matter so clearly.

Everyone in the world knows that the ten-year-old Zhuangyuan Lang is extremely intelligent and talented, but today she feels that behind this talent may be more diligent diligence than ordinary people.

Gu Huaijin admired Yan Sizheng more in his heart.She thought about it for a while, and according to Yan Congxu, at the very beginning, the master and apprentice of the evil way kidnapped 21 children.In addition to the conversation heard in the cave that day, the four children should be accidentally killed by the little Taoist priest, which is why they wanted to steal the four children from the Fengyu Village.

And why after the people in Fengyu Village began to take good care of the children at home, they changed the way of drugging the villagers, fabricating rumors that the mountain god married a wife, and designated Xiaoying, who was also born in July, as the "mountain god's bride".

Such a lot of trouble is all because they need 21 children born in July.

After thinking through all this, Gu Huaijin and Yan Congxu said: "Those four children should have died, and that's why they took the risk and took another four children as substitutes in Fengyu Village. I visited them at night. That villa, at that time, the demon Taoist was taking the blood of these children. I don’t know if Yan Temple can really understand alchemists?"

"Alchemist? Little General Gu is saying that the demon way takes these children's blood donations to make alchemy?" Yan Sizheng understood immediately.

"I heard the conversation between the master and the apprentice that day, and with the information you found, even if they are not alchemy, they are still practicing some kind of evil."

Three days later.

Gu Huaijin got off the horse and handed the reins to the porter boy.Just as he was about to lift his foot to enter the door, he saw Li Zhong walking out of the courtyard.

After seeing her, Li Zhong greeted her with a smile, leaned over and said: "Miss, Madam, when I went to the street today, I met Mrs. Zuo Shilang, so I went to her house to play the horse crane, and said that I would go to Yongning Lane when you came back." Bring her back."

Gu Huaijin remembered that her aunt was never the kind of mother who clings to her children, how could she be asked to pick her up at the Minister's Mansion for no reason today.A strange thought flashed in her heart, she thought about it carefully, Zuo Shilang is only thirty-two this year, and none of the children in the family are under ten years old.

A Niang should not introduce the yellow-haired boy to her, maybe she was thinking too much.

Gu Huaijin walked towards the carriage in front of the house, thought of something else, and asked: "Uncle Zhong, did Father say when he will return?"

Gu Huaijin's father had been to Qiwu Mountain Villa for more than five days, which was normal, but she had something to confirm with him, so she always seemed a little impatient.

"The general didn't mention it when he left. Miss, did you find him for something?"

Li Zhong was originally a soldier under General Gu. He injured his right leg in a battle more than ten years ago. General Gu transferred him to work at home.He also watched Gu Huaijin grow up, and knew the temperament of the little general of the Gu family very well.

"It doesn't matter." Gu Huaijin left three words indifferently, turned and left.

Yongning Lane, the home of Zuo Shilang.

"Little General Gu, this way please." The servant in Zuo Shilang's house led Gu Huaijin to the backyard.

There were several women in fine clothes sitting in the gazebo in the backyard, Gu Huaijin went over to say hello to them one by one.In addition to the four people playing the horse hanging, there was a girl in pink sitting beside Mrs. Zuo Shilang in the courtyard.The girl was wearing a tulle face, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but her pair of moist eyes made people look a little familiar.

Gu Huaijin nodded slightly and then looked away, never seeing the girl's face under the veil, a blush suddenly appeared.

"Huaijin is here."

The Qi family saw her daughter the moment she stepped into the courtyard gate, and while she beckoned Gu Huaijin to sit next to her, she shouted to everyone at the table: "Wait, whoever ordered the chicken, I'm screwed. "

"Clearly! Sister Qi, you are really lucky." Mrs. Zuo Shilang, who was opposite, praised with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Xifeng, you have won several times in a row today. You are so lucky, you can't leave so early, you must play with us to your heart's content." The woman on the left smiled and said.

"Then I'll play with you for a while longer." Qi Xifeng said to Gu Huaijin with a beaming face, "Aniang is lucky, Huaijin wait a moment."

"Sister Qi, how can I do it at this moment."

"I see us playing horses, Huai Jin is bored waiting here." The woman on the right glanced at the girl in pink, then at the lady on the left, and said with a smile: "Didn't you just now?" He also told us that Zhenzhen has not gone out to see when she came to the capital. This is not right, letting Huaijin accompany her to go out for a walk is much more interesting than sitting here with us."

"This is not the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days. I heard that there will be a temple fair in the south of the city in the past few days, and it is very lively." The woman on the other side answered.

Gu Huaijin's eyebrows twitched, as early as when she saw the girl in pink, she felt that something was wrong.

"Will Huaijin be willing?" Madam Zuo Shilang asked with a smile.

"Why don't you want to." Qi Xifeng answered for her without giving Gu Huaijin a chance to refute, "Zhenzhen is unfamiliar with the place when she first came to the capital, so Huaijin accompanied Miss Zhenzhen to the temple fair."

At this moment, Gu Huaijin completely understood why her mother uncharacteristically asked her to come to Zuo Shilang's residence to pick her up today.

From the very beginning to this moment, everything has been arranged long ago. Gu Huaijin felt helpless and a little funny in her heart. It's hard for her straightforward mother to make so many twists and turns and pull so many people to accompany her to make arrangements for her. Had such a special blind date.

She was unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't refute her mother's face in public, so she had to agree to this matter and took Jiang Zhenzhen to the temple fair in the south of the city.

In the carriage, the two sat opposite each other speechless.

"Little General Gu, do you still remember me?" The girl asked shyly in a voice like a mosquito.

"You are?" Gu Huaijin was a little puzzled, "Where did we meet?"

"My name is Jiang Zhenzhen." The girl couldn't wait to introduce her name, and said with a little loss, "On the sixth day of August, during the Qianqiu Festival in Shangzhou City, I accidentally fell into the river, and it was General Gu who rescued me."

"So it's you." Gu Huaijin was a little surprised.

It was dark that day, and after saving people, she followed Su Yu and left without paying attention to the appearance of the person who fell into the water.What's more, Jiang Zhenzhen's whole body was drenched that day, her makeup and hair were messed up, and she had nothing similar to today.

"General Gu's life-saving grace, Zhen Zhen will thank you in time in the future, if..."

The girl's eyebrows and eyes were slightly lowered, and the red glow on her face was faintly visible under the tulle, she was very delicate and cute.Her tone was tactful, and she spoke slowly, but was interrupted by a flat voice.

"Miss Jiang doesn't need to take it to heart." Gu Huaijin didn't look at her, and stretched out his hand to open the curtain, "Miss Jiang, the temple fair is here."

Miss Jiang was slightly dazed, and got out of the carriage after her.

Looking at the main street of the temple fair not far away, Gu Huaijin couldn't help but frown.

She wanted to look away, but she stopped when she saw two girls feeding each other in front of a small stall.
