Chapter 118: Submissive Army (2)

Under the leadership of Ge Jingyun and Leng Xiao, the team actually went to the camp by jogging. Gu Yun smiled with relief. Very good, this was the resilience and stubbornness of not admitting defeat that she wanted. After practicing for a day and demonstrating for them countless times, Gu Yun was also a bit tired. Turning around, she saw Han Shu actually standing behind her, his eyes staring at her deeply.

He actually watched for a whole day! Gu Yun smiled sarcastically, "Frontline General Han is very free today?" Didn't he disdain women training troops?

This time Han Shu didn't retort and sarcastically mock her as usual, but asked in a calm voice, "How long a dagger do you need?"

Gu Yun was slightly startled, hesitated for a while, and replied, "Blade five inches, handle two inches." Thinking of the short sword she saw this morning, Gu Yun laughed. What she wanted was a small, exquisite, and practical dagger that was convenient to carry around.

"Fine, I'll prepare it." Throwing down a cold sentence, Han Shu turned and left.

Watching the robust back hurry away, looking like he was in a hurry, Gu Yun raised the corners of her lips again. Men in the army camp are still quite cute.

General's Mansion study.

A cup of warm clear tea was placed on the exquisite yellow pear wood table. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of clear tea and raw wood. Slender fingers pinched a piece, and placed it down slowly. The white piece seemed to have taken the lead. The long finger pinched a black piece again, but didn't place it for a long time. On the chessboard, black and white pieces were fighting, but on both sides of the low table, there was only a plain white figure.

It should have been an elegant and quiet picture, but it was broken by an angry low roar, "The Ministry of Justice threw us such a thing to explain the case of stealing military rations? This is clearly finding a scapegoat!"

Su Yu placed a stack of files heavily on the low table. The white porcelain teacup couldn't withstand the violent force and shook, and the tea spilled all over the table. Su Ren put down the chess piece in his hand and shook his head helplessly. When will Yu learn to be calm?

Picking up the file and reading it, Su Ren raised his thin lips and smiled clearly, "Don't be impatient. Dan Yulan has already intervened in this matter, it won't just end like this."

Marching and fighting, provisions come first, which shows how important military rations are to the army. Something like stealing military rations happened, and the Ministry of Justice naturally had to give them an explanation. A month had passed since the incident, and the Ministry of Justice had to come up with something to explain.

Dan Yulan is indeed more reliable than those officials in the Ministry of Justice, but Su Yu was still unhappy in his heart, sneering, "Who knows! They are all people from the Ministry of Justice, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be in cahoots with those officials!"

Knowing he was talking angry words, Su Ren was too lazy to ignore him, picked up the black piece, and his attention returned to this unsolved chess game.

Su Ren stared at the chessboard intently, looking like he was addicted to it. Su Yu really didn't understand, is playing chess by oneself so interesting?

Su Yu turned around and was about to leave the study, but bumped into Gu Yun who was coming toward him. Looking at the full moon hanging in the sky outside, Su Yu said ungraciously, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Gu Yun didn't even look at him and walked straight to Su Ren.

Su Ren raised his eyes and saw it was Gu Yun, and actually put down the chess piece in his hand and stood up to greet her. Su Yu was stunned and then his face turned black immediately. He hadn't seen his second brother treat him with such importance, and even greet her with a smile!

"Sister-in-law, so free to come over today?"

"Sister-in-law?" His heart was already unhappy, and hearing Su Ren's words, Su Yu was immediately exploded, "Second brother, are you crazy! When did this woman become our sister-in-law? I don't agree!"

Su Ren smiled, and replied seriously, "She is the eldest brother's woman, naturally she is the sister-in-law." Most importantly, Ice Lotus has already chosen her. Even if the eldest brother doesn't agree, it's estimated to be useless, let alone him?

"Go!" Su Yu naturally didn't know the inside story, and sneered with disdain, "She can at most be considered a concubine!"

"You two, I have no interest in listening to such boring topics. I came just to want two things: thirty wooden stakes, fifteen thorny vines at least three zhang long." Regardless of their bickering, Gu Yun just stood there coldly, without any anger, and there was no expression on her face. Dealing with someone like Su Ren, ignoring is the best way, because he won't have any changes because of your anger or a few stimulating words.

Su Ren nodded and smiled, "No problem. They will definitely be delivered by Mao hour tomorrow."

Su Ren didn't ask much, but Su Yu couldn't help asking curiously, "What do you want these things for?" He could understand the wooden stakes, but what use are thorny vines?

Gu Yun turned around slowly, and a brilliant smile suddenly appeared on her face, but the words she spat out were so cold and ruthless, "None of your business!"

Her cherry lips bent, two small dimples hung on the corners of her mouth, and her round eyes bent into a crescent moon. She smiled—really cute. Su Yu was still in a trance because of that sudden smile, and Gu Yun's cold words immediately woke him up.

Damn it, he actually thought she was cute. This woman is a vicious shrew in her bones!

"Qing Mo, don't be too proud!" Perhaps hating his own distraction just now, in order to win back a game, Su Yu said more and more viciously, "Ten more days, I will definitely make you lose miserably. I tell you, the battlefield will always be a man's world! Women should just stay at home obediently, doing laundry, cooking, and nursing children."

Gu Yun raised her eyebrows, sneering in her heart. Did he think he could hit her and humiliate her like this? She was very curious, Su Ling is cold and calm, Su Ren is introverted and cunning, how could Su Yu be so reckless and simple?! But having said that, among the three brothers, Su Yu is still more likable.

Originally she wanted to leave, but seeing him so angry, Gu Yun couldn't help but want to irritate him. She sat on the wooden chair beside the low table, shook her head gently, and sighed pitifully, "Confidence is a good thing, blind confidence is very sad. I sympathize with your ignorance."

"You! You shrew!" Su Ren almost laughed out loud, but Su Yu was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head!

Gu Yun originally wanted to retort, but her eyes accidentally swept over a file on the table. After reading a few lines unintentionally, Gu Yun's heart began to beat wildly. The habitual terminology and exposition method of this autopsy report were exactly the same as Qing's!

Gu Yun hurriedly picked up the file on the table and looked at it carefully. Su Yu was already angry, and now seeing Gu Yun ignoring him, he was even more furious. Snatching back the file, Su Yu said angrily, "What's there to look at! This is not something you should manage."

They had worked together on so many cases, and she knew Qing's autopsy methods and steps like the back of her hand. It was definitely Qing!

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Gu Yun pretended to ask casually, "Who wrote this autopsy report?"

Autopsy report? Su Yu lowered his head and looked at the file Gu Yun was reading just now. It turned out to be a coroner's document! Throwing the file back on the low table, Su Yu replied ungraciously, "Who else but those people in the Ministry of Justice." He only looked at the Ministry of Justice's verdict and was already half-dead with anger, and had no mood to continue reading at all.

People from the Ministry of Justice? This—can't be possible. Gu Yun continued to ask, "Do they write like this usually?"

Su Yu hesitated for a while. How would he know how the Ministry of Justice usually writes!

Su Ren seemed to see Gu Yun's strangeness and replied, "The coroner's document today is indeed a bit different. The wording is exceptionally..." He stopped for a long time and didn't continue. Gu Yun continued, "Accurate and sharp."

"Yes." It was accurate and sharp. He felt the difference when he looked at it for the first time, but couldn't find a word to describe it for a while. She grasped it very accurately.

Could it be that Qing went to the Ministry of Justice after coming to this different world? This is not impossible. Gu Yun continued to ask, "Who is in charge of this case?"

"Why do you ask this?" Su Yu was already impatient. Why is she so annoying today!

Gu Yun shrugged her shoulders, hiding her urgent mood, and asked strangely, "Don't you think the case is full of doubts?"

A flash of strangeness crossed Su Ren's eyes, and he smiled, "Why do you say that?"

Spreading out the file, there were three small volumes inside. Gu Yun analyzed, "The deceased was murdered in prison, and it was after being sentenced to death. Isn't this suspicious? The current murderer is the butler of the deceased's family. The motive for the crime is actually because the master didn't treat him well enough. People are about to die, what kind of deep hatred makes him have to take the risk to kill in person? And the factual basis for identifying the theft of military rations is extremely lacking. Such a case where the autopsy report, case statement, and closing statement are contradictory, and the chain of evidence is clearly not established, is it closed just like that?"

Gu Yun was really puzzled. So many loopholes, don't they find it strange? Even if Su Yu didn't find it because he was careless, Su Ren also turned a blind eye?

Su Ren lowered his head slightly, his face full of surprise and deep thought. She only read it roughly once, and could find the problem so quickly. The analysis was concise and the key points were clear, as if she had seen this kind of thing countless times. What kind of woman is she? Rumors say that the Qing sisters are talented and beautiful. Originally, I thought the so-called "talent" was just poetry, calligraphy, and painting, but she is actually proficient in training troops and good at solving cases? This talent is really a bit special!

Su Ren smiled cunningly. The mistress chosen by Ice Lotus is different!

Feeling Gu Yun's sharp eyes staring at him, Su Ren put away the smile on his face and replied, "This case was originally closed, but later another doubt was discovered, and it has been sent back to the Ministry of Justice for retrial. The current chief judge is Dan Yulan, the Criminal Justice Official who specifically supervises criminal prisons."

Criminal Justice Official? Being able to hold this position, it is estimated that his case-solving ability and autopsy skills are not low. After pondering for a while, Gu Yun continued to ask, "Did he write the autopsy report?"

"Don't know, maybe." Su Ren finally discovered that she had been asking about the so-called autopsy report. Could it be that there is something tricky in this? Su Ren asked calmly, "Are you interested in autopsy?"

Autopsy is Qing's interest! Gu Yun smiled frankly and shook her head, "No, I just think this person is very powerful. Can you help me check who wrote it?" If she could find Qing because of this, that would be great!

"Good." Su Ren nodded readily. He was also interested in this coroner now.

Finally, there was a little news about Qing. Gu Yun was in a good mood. Thinking that this body had two sisters, if Qing came to this different world with her, it was very likely that she entered the sisters of this body. Gu Yun took the opportunity to say, "I've been in Qiongyue for quite some time. I don't know how my two sisters are doing now?"

After such a long time, it is reasonable for her to miss her sisters. Su Yu didn't like her arrogant look, but still comforted her, but the tone was still annoying, "Just stop worrying about that. The food and drink in the palace are good, and they won't treat your eldest sister badly. As for your second sister, you don't need to worry about her even more. There is no mistress in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Lou Xiyan is that kind of gentle person, no one will make things difficult for her."

So one entered the palace and one entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's not easy to see the sister who entered the palace, so let's see the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion first!

Gu Yun, who was still in the modern thinking mode, said casually, "The Prime Minister's Mansion should not be far from the General's Mansion. I want to see my second sister."

"No!" Su Yu shouted sternly.
