Seeing Huiming crying pitifully, Gan Jiangnan finally let out a sigh. He looked up at Su Mingyu and said, "What else do you want to know?"
"I want to know about the time when Gu Ruobai was injured. He hid in a local salt merchant's mansion. Did you lead people to kill dozens of people in that mansion after you found out?"
When Su Mingyu said this, she deliberately glanced at Tang Yan not far away.
Tang Yan just had a gloomy face, showing no sign of joy or sorrow.
"How could it be?" Gan Jiangnan was so excited that he almost jumped off the stool. "It's true that I betrayed King Ruixian, but I didn't try to wipe him out."
"I know about the incident you mentioned. It was Zhang Wencai who led people to do it. At that time, Zhang Wencai was determined to kill King Ruixian. But when he found the salt merchant's mansion, he didn't see King Ruixian. Enraged, he ordered the massacre of the whole mansion."
"How do you know that?" Su Mingyu frowned. "Were you involved?"
"I wasn't!" Gan Jiangnan sighed. "I just heard about it from Zhang Wencai later. It's really a sin. So many people just died like that."
Su Mingyu stole a glance at Tang Yan from the corner of her eye and found that his face was as gloomy as water. But fortunately, there was still reason in his eyes. So Su Mingyu continued to ask, "I want the evidence of your contact with Zhang Wencai. You should know the saying that empty words aren't convincing."
"It's with Lin Feng. He has the letters Zhang Wencai sent me before." Gan Jiangnan let out a long sigh, looking much older.
Su Mingyu nodded and looked back at Tang Yan. "So you can go and find the evidence now."
"You're being a bit too ruthless with this move." Tang Yan said, giving a look to the people behind him, signaling them to go and handle it quickly.
Su Mingyu ignored Tang Yan. Instead, she walked to Xiaobao's side and picked him up. She squinted at him and smiled. "Xiaobao is so amazing! You acted so well! Wait here. Sister will ask someone to prepare a big meal for you."
"Really!" Xiaobao stared at Gan Jiangnan and Huiming with bright, excited eyes. "Dad ~ Mom ~ Xiaobao earned delicious food for you by himself!"
Gan Jiangnan forced a smile. "Yes, Xiaobao is so good."
Su Mingyu put Xiaobao on the ground. "Go and play."
"Okay!" Xiaobao grinned. "Sister, I still want to eat fish. Can you add a fish for Xiaobao?"
"Sure, sure. You can eat whatever you want." Su Mingyu ruffled Xiaobao's hair and then left the room with a smile.
Watching Su Mingyu leave, Huiming finally couldn't hold back. She rushed forward, hugged Xiaobao and cried. "Xiaobao! Xiaobao!"
Gan Jiangnan also gritted his teeth and stepped forward, hugging the two of them tightly.
"You're quite something. I thought you were really going to do something to that kid." Tang Yan leaned against the door, looking at the scene inside through the crack, and teased Su Mingyu who had just come out.
Su Mingyu curled her lips. "Since you think so, they will too. That's exactly what I want."
With that, Su Mingyu strode out. Seeing the dazzling sunlight outside, she let out a long sigh of relief.
In the 21st century, she did kill a lot of people. But now that she had a child, she found that she was gradually becoming gentler.
Tang Yan's men were very efficient. They got the evidence of the contact between Zhang Wencai and Gan Jiangnan that night.
Looking at the table full of letters, Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Gan Jiangnan said that at first, Zhang Wencai only wanted some unimportant things. Later, he wanted more important information. But during this period, he would occasionally ask for some strange information. Why is that?"
With that, Su Mingyu pointed to an inquiry about military grain reserves on the table. "As a vice - minister of the Ministry of War, how could Zhang Wencai not know the information about the grain and forage? Why did he ask Gan Jiangnan to check it specifically?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Yan looked at Su Mingyu with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Do you think it's possible that he knew there was a problem with the military grain, so he wanted to confirm it?"
"Zhang Wencai can't be that stupid, can he? As a person in the Ministry of War, he would actually do something to the grain and forage?" Tang Yan frowned. "I think it's meaningless for us to investigate this. Let's just go and find Zhang Wencai directly. I want to kill him with my own hands."
Seeing the anger in Tang Yan's eyes, Su Mingyu pursed her lips and gently comforted him. "Of course you can go and kill him now. But if you do, we won't be able to catch the person behind him."
"The person behind him?" Tang Yan snorted. "How do you know there's a so - called person behind him?"
"He had no grudge against Gu Ruobai. Why did he want to kill him?" Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Moreover, killing a prince would bring him no benefits at all. If it weren't for someone like you who has a blood feud with him, why would he go to so much trouble to kill him?"
"I don't deny that you have a point, but I'm under no obligation to cooperate with you to catch some spy." Tang Yan said coldly. "I just want to avenge my family!"
Su Mingyu took a deep breath. "I didn't say you can't avenge your family. I just hope we can be more cautious about this. How about we find Gu Ruobai to discuss it?"
"Do you only have Gu Ruobai in your eyes?" Tang Yan's tone got even worse. "This is my business. Why do I have to ask someone who brought a disaster to my mansion?"
Seeing how stubborn he was, Su Mingyu rubbed her temples. "But this matter also concerns Gu Ruobai's leg. I think he has the right to know."
"What? If I don't tell him, am I in debt to him?" Tang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Su Mingyu, clearly in a bad mood.
Su Mingyu didn't back down either. "You have your hatred for the destruction of your family, and Gu Ruobai has his hatred for his broken leg. Shouldn't you two be on the same side?"
"Don't I need to remind you that all my pain was brought by Gu Ruobai?" Tang Yan snorted. "You only have Gu Ruobai in your eyes. When have you ever looked at others?"
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes impatiently. "He is my husband. Naturally, I should have him in my eyes."
Tang Yan's face darkened. "Don't mention this matter again. I caught the person, and I got the information. I won't tell Gu Ruobai."
Seeing how stubborn he was, Su Mingyu was too lazy to say anything more. "Fine, whatever you say. I'm going to rest."
Watching Su Mingyu's back as she left, Tang Yan clenched his fists irritably. Why was this Su Mingyu always so annoying!
Although she said that to Tang Yan, Su Mingyu still secretly sent out the information that Gan Jiangnan had revealed at night to let Gu Ruobai know.
After doing all this, Su Mingyu looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. She had gradually started to have some pregnancy reactions recently. Whenever this happened, she always missed Gu Ruobai very much.
