Gu Chengfeng mused, "So what they mean is… the child actually did not die. After being buried in the ground, he cried again. A kind person who happened to pa.s.s by heard him and dug him up. And that kid is your younger brother? That little monk? Who's going to adopt him?"

Gu Jiao answered calmly, "Yu Qinw.a.n.g and Qinw.a.n.gfei."

Gu Chengfeng sucked in a breath of cold air!

He just knew nothing good came by being with this girl!

She actually wanted to steal something from the imperial prince of the State of Liang!

Was he finally going to turn into an international thief?

Gu Jiao looked at him seriously and said, "A thief who refuses to go international is nothing but a worthless thief."

Gu Chengfeng：“…”

"I won't do it." It was too dangerous. He might lose his life once they got caught.

"I’ll add another five hundred taels." Gu Jiao paused before adding, "Plus I’ll cure your brother's baldness."

Gu Chengfeng：“…”

Since Little Jing Kong shaved half of Gu Chenglin's head, that half of Gu Chenglin's hair hadn't grown a bit. At first, in order to even the look at least, he also shaved off the remaining half, but this other half had grown by half an inch after some time while the half shaved by Little Jing Kong was still barren.

What a d.a.m.n cursed hand!

Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and ultimately agreed!

The two of them sneaked out of the Marquis Estate.

In fact, Gu Chengfeng still had some fears concerning this matter. He thought of countless other ways along the way, such as asking Gu Jiao to request Old Marquis’s help instead, and then Old Marquis would talk to the Emperor about it.

But on second thought, Yu Qinw.a.n.g's att.i.tude was too tough. Asking the Emperor to offend the State of Liang for the sake of an orphan was simply a bad deal.

The State of Zhao couldn’t afford to offend the State of Liang. Even if they had better technology and didn’t want the technology of the State of Liang, they could only remain silent in front of the State of Liang.

After all, even an innocent man could be accused of a crime by treasuring a jade ring. The State of Zhao couldn’t be too high-profile, otherwise it wouldn’t just be the State of Liang that would come to cut their fat. If they made a big noise, the State of Jin and the State of Yan might also come.

It was true that they could only start from Yu Qinw.a.n.g’s side.

But, getting Yu Qinw.a.n.g to give up the idea of recognizing his son, how could that be easy?

He even brought out the colored gla.s.s technology, which just showed how determined he was.

The two of them were walking on the roof when Gu Chengfeng suddenly looked at Gu Jiao and said, "Hey, I say, are you really not considering sending that little guy away?"

As he could see, that little guy was a real handful. If his third brother was anything like that little guy, he would have gone crazy long ago!

Gu Jiao glared at him, "Shut up if you don't want me to kick you down from here."

Gu Chengfeng closed his mouth resentfully.

The purpose of the two of them tonight was very clear, that was to find the place where the child's body was buried back then and see if there were the bones of his remains.

If there were, it proved that Little Jing Kong wasn’t the son of Yu Qinw.a.n.g and Qinw.a.n.gfei.

Gu Jiao cast Gu Chengfeng a meaningful glance the moment they arrived outside the wall of the imperial garden.

Go in.

Gu Chengfeng clenched his fists. Why was he the one to do such dangerous things every time?

Gu Jiao mouthed to him that she would not go in.

Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and climbed into the courtyard wall.

The imperial garden was heavily guarded, and Yu Qingw.a.n.g’s courtyard was surrounded by a lot of dark guards of the State of Liang. However, Gu Chengfeng still managed to sneak into Yu Qinw.a.n.g and Qinw.a.n.gfei’s bedroom with his excellent qinggong techniques and many years of experience.

It took him about two quarters of an hour to come out again.

"How did it go?" Gu Jiao looked at him.

Gu Chengfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "It's on the Dongcao slope in the south of the city."

Gu Jiao said coldly, "Lead the way."

Gu Chengfeng glanced at her speechlessly, "You won't ask me how I found out?"

“No.”

Gu Chengfeng who wanted to show off, "…"

Whatever, he would still say it!

The more she looked indifferent, the more he wanted to say it!

"I went to check the soles of Yu Qinw.a.n.g’s shoes. Yu Qinw.a.n.g must have the same idea as us. To prove the child's background, the first thing to investigate was the place where the body was buried. I found yellow soil and red moss under the soles of Yu Qinw.a.n.g’s shoes, as well as the shoes of his two personal guards. It’s common to see a lot of green mosses, but red mosses are rare. In addition, there are also the leaves of pine needles. The only place that fits this landscape is the Dongcao slope in the south of the city."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Oh?

Aren't you at all impressed by this young master’s cleverness?

The Dongcao slope wasn’t too far, and the two people were also fast on their feet, so they arrived in more than half an hour or so.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g probably didn't want anyone to find this place, so he specially destroyed the traces of the scene before leaving, but this could not be hidden from the eyes of Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng at all.

The two people soon found a clue.

"It should be around here."

Gu Chengfeng looked around and spoke.

Generally speaking, the ground where soil had been touched would have a different color from its surrounding area, which should be easy to distinguish. However, at first glance, they failed to see any difference.

Suddenly, Gu Jiao's eyes fell on a pile of bushes.

She went over and pulled open the bushes to reveal a big rock inside.

"Move the rock." Gu Jiao said.

Gu Chengfeng came over and used all his strength to move the stone away.

Underneath the stone was obviously a new heap of soil as it was darker and wetter than the nearby soil.

Holding a lantern, Gu Jiao took out a small shovel from her back basket and threw it to Gu Chengfeng, "Dig."

Gu Chengfeng: So this time I’m a coolie?

Gu Chengfeng sweated like rain for a quarter of an hour before finally digging out a small coffin.

Gu Chengfeng looked at the coffin and then jumped back up to the surface, "Dig, dig, dig ... I already dug it up, you do the rest!"

Gu Jiao looked askance at him and said, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Gu Chengfeng responded confidently, "Who said I’m afraid of ghosts? I'm just tired! I can't do all the work by myself."

A grown guy like him was actually afraid of ghosts, hehehe.

Gu Jiao jumped down and used a dagger to pry the nails out of the coffin one by one, and when she reached the last nail, Gu Chengfeng swiftly hid behind her!

Gu Jiao：“…”

Gu Jiao opened the coffin, looked inside and said to Gu Chengfeng, "Take a look."

Gu Chengfeng turned his face away, "I don't want to!"

"You do, look."

"I won't look! I won't look! Not even if I die!"

Gu Jiao grabbed him out from behind her and forced him to look into the coffin.
