Chapter 33 Chang Family Ancestral Hall

After He Xiu returned to the bedroom, he thought back and forth with a clenched heart, secretly glad that he went tonight, otherwise Guan Zhihe would definitely fall into the hands of the man in black, and the more he thought about it, the more cold sweat he had.

One night, he slept on his stomach on the edge of the table, and according to the agreed time on the letterhead last night, He Xiu stood at the counter anxiously waiting for a reply.

When the shopkeepers on the first floor were almost full, a disguised person walked in, and He Xiu recognized this person as Guan Zhihe's maid at first sight.

"My young lady is safe, and she asked me to bring you a letter. A handsome woman dressed in a man's outfit said in a low voice.

He Xiu was grateful in his heart, but he couldn't recognize each other: "That's good, has the assassin been caught?"

"No, at present, the Guan Mansion has strengthened the guards, especially the young lady's bedroom, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, you can rest assured. ”

"That's good, by the way, what does Mr. Sha think about this matter?" He Xiu asked smoothly with a hanging heart.

"I have secretly drawn people inside the Guan Mansion to investigate suspicious people. ”

He Xiu secretly praised Sha Jiannan's approach and said, "When you go back, tell Mr. Sha that you will send someone to dive into the bottom of the lake to see if there is a passage to the outside world at the bottom of the lake." ”

"Understood, okay, I have to go back, or the master will find out. ”

He Xiu caught her words with his eyes, and then deliberately shouted: "Bring a pot of fine spirits, this shopkeeper wants to take it away." ”

The maid dressed by Qiao Zhuang cleverly stuffed the reply into He Xiu's sleeve at the checkout, then lowered the brim of her hat and disappeared into the crowd.

He Xiu hid in a dark corner and couldn't wait to unfold the letter, she saw that Guan Zhihe told him not to worry about himself, and the advice made in his letterhead last night would take time to mention it to his father, and finally expressed some love, etc.

He Xiu put the letter in his arms and came to the front desk, just as he was talking to a regular customer, Sha Jiannan came, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Master Guan was arrested by Guo Mansion, He'er is very anxious, ask me to ask you for ideas." ”

He Xiu couldn't believe his ears, there were assassins visiting the Guan Mansion last night, and today Master Guan was imprisoned, it was too coincidental, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and asked, "Because of what?"

"The ancestral hall that the Guan family was responsible for building for the Chang family suddenly collapsed in the middle of the building last night, and six people were stoned to death. The Chang family reported the matter to the official, and Master Guan, as the first person responsible, was temporarily detained. Sha Jiannan explained the ins and outs of the matter in one go.

After He Xiu came back from Hiding Mountain, he privately inquired that the Chang family started in the iron mining business in Qiman Town, and they also had a lot of assets under their hands.

"How can this be? I have heard of Master Guan's construction team before, both in terms of quality and efficiency, it is well-known, and even the renovation of the residence in the Guo Mansion is based on the construction team of the Guan family, how can it be ...... this time" He Xiu couldn't believe it, and analyzed.

"Brother He, I'm here to inform you, Guan Gongzi has dragged on from his studies, and he can't come back for the time being, Guan Fu has no backbone, so you have to go at this time. Sha Jiannan patted He Xiu's shoulder and said heavily.

"Mr. Sha, please rest assured, no matter what the reason, I will take care of this matter to the end, you go back and tell He'er, I He Xiu will do my best to rescue Master Guan." He Xiu tilted his head and placed Sha Jiannan while thinking of ideas.

"Okay, Brother He, you can rest assured to investigate, I will take care of the safety of He'er and Guanfu. Sha Jiannan patted his chest and said.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll go to Chang's house to see what is going on. ”

After He Xiu took care of the things in the Peng Building, he separated from Sha Jiannan and came to Changfu on horseback.

A person he didn't want to see appeared in front of He Xiu's eyes, and saw Scar dressed in a fast trapping official robe, carrying a saber at his waist, majestically commanding a group of officials to surround the Chang Mansion.

"Boy, why are you here when you don't stay in Huipeng Building?" Scar held the saber in his hand, squinted at He Xiu, and asked.

"The road leads to all directions, stepping on the world, the official won't even care about this, right?" He Xiu sat on the horse's back steadily, looked at the horsewhip with his eyes, and said leisurely.

Seeing that He Xiu didn't look at him squarely, Scar couldn't help but be angry in his heart: "Hmph, boy, don't think I don't know what you're here for, tell you, this is a matter of the government, you'd better participate less, otherwise Master Dao, I will put you in prison together, hum!"

He Xiu turned the horse's head, whipped the horse, and ran towards Guo's mansion.

Guo Zhenxing was also about to go out at this time, He Xiu dismounted and ran quickly to him, and said, "Is Guo Gongzi going to the scene to investigate the murder?"

"Brother He, you are here. Guo Zhenxing asked, holding the reins.

He Xiu didn't look up, and pleaded: "Since Guo Gongzi knows that I will come, then He Xiu doesn't need to tease, I beg to follow Guo Gongzi to the murder scene to investigate and understand the situation." ”

"Hehe, why?" Guo Zhenxing turned over and said, shaking his head and spinning the paper fan.

"Just because Guo Gongzi also wants to leave her gratitude to you in He'er's heart!" He Xiu said with a needle to seal his throat and go straight to the point of Guo Zhenxing.

"Haha, since that's the case, then Ben Gongzi can't let you go, Brother He is a smart person, he should know what Ben Gongzi means. ”

He Xiu's eyebrows were lowered, and after thinking less, he said: "I come and go freely in the nest of the double spirit leopard, if the son wants to go, He Xiu is willing to serve at any time." ”

"Haha, this son really didn't look away, come on, prepare a horse for Brother He, he won't be able to keep up for a while, drive!" Guo Zhenxing whipped the horse and left.

He Xiu still rode his horse and chased after him.

A light horse of dozens of people stopped in front of the door of Changfu, and Scar hurriedly stepped forward to restrain Guo Zhenxing's horse: "Childe, why are you here in person?"

"My son couldn't rest assured, so I came to check in person, how is the situation inside?" Guo Zhenxing turned over and jumped off the horse, threw the horsewhip to Scar and said.

"Hui Gongzi, his subordinates are sorting out the collapsed debris, and I believe they will be able to enter and check it soon. Scar said respectfully, bowing his head.

"Brother He was invited by this son, if he asks about the details of the murder case in a while, you have to tell him without reservation, do you know?" Guo Zhenxing deliberately let go of his voice when he said the last sentence.

Scar looked at He Xiu, a wave of boredom shot out of his eyes, and he said unwillingly: "Understood!"

He Xiu asked: "Guo Gongzi, He Xiu wants to go in and check the scene now, is it okay?"

"Okay, this son also has this intention, leading the way. ”

Scar hurriedly ran all the way to the front, about a cup of tea, and He Xiu heard someone crying.

"O ancestors of the Chang family, the covenant is incompetent, disturbing the spirits of your ancestors in heaven, the covenant is really shameless to see you, woo woo ......"

He Xiu saw a man in his fifties facing a piece of ruins, kneeling on the ground and holding a broken tablet, hammering his chest and crying bitterly, and a young man beside him comforted him alone with tears in his eyes.

"Please mourn Uncle Chang, my father will definitely handle this matter impartially and give Uncle Chang a reasonable explanation. Guo Zhenxing bowed and said modestly.

"Oh, Gongzi Xie is concerned, I've caused trouble to Lord Guo!" Chang Zheng also got up and saluted.

"Chang An thanked Gongzi and Uncle Guo!"

He Xiu saw that the young man who had comforted Chang Zheng just now also thanked Guo Zhenxing, and he remembered that he had seen this young man in the cave that day.

After Guo Zhenxing introduced He Xiu to the two, the group stepped on the ruins and groped for their own ways to find the reason for the collapse of the ancestral hall.

He Xiu saw the waist in the ruins, the main beam of the house painted with red paint all over, the main beam was intact, in addition to the smell of paint, he could also smell a woody fragrance, obviously it was a newly cut trunk, and then pulled out the beam in the soil and broken tiles, and saw that the beam was also painted with red paint, after careful investigation, it was confirmed that it was also new wood, and no abnormality was found.

He Xiu rubbed his head, took the beam in his hand, and found that the weight of the beam here was much lighter than the one just now, and then picked up the two beams and knocked each other, and a crisp sound came out, and he was very puzzled in his heart, these wooden beams were all newly cut tree trunks, how could there be such a sound.

Guo Zhenxing also noticed after hearing the abnormal noise, He Xiu put down the beam and threw away the soil with his hands, everything was normal, and then put a rub of soil in his mouth, chewed with his hind teeth, and felt that he had chewed some small hard foreign objects.

He Xiu spit out the foreign object and found that it was a small stone grain like a grain of rice, so he turned his attention to the blue-gray mud brick, picked up a mud brick and threw it into the air, and the mud brick fell to the ground intact.

Guo Zhenxing's side also asked people to dig out the foundation of the east foot of the ancestral hall, and He Xiu saw that the foundation was deep and extremely strong, which was not the cause of the collapse of the building.

After He Xiu and Guo Zhenxing investigated the scene, they both set the final conclusion on the beam of the ancestral hall.

Guo Zhenxing ordered the officials to split the beam, and everyone present changed color, and the inside of the beam was close to a hollow state.

Chang Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Please call the shots, Guan Kaihui used the rotten wood to make the beams of my Chang family's ancestral hall, which is the main reason for this accident, and his behavior is really shameful, please Guo Gongzi to be the master of the Chang family." ”

Chang An also echoed and said: "Please Gongzi Guo, Uncle Guo is the master, and Guan Kaihui will be handled according to the law, so as to comfort the soul of my Chang family's ancestors in the sky." ”

Guo Zhenxing didn't expect things to be like this, but he was very proud in his heart, Guan Kaihui was in a lawsuit that lost his head, and he was the master of this lawsuit, so he could turn his hands into clouds and rain in an instant.

He Xiu saw Guo Zhenxing's thoughts, and couldn't help but be anxious, and said in his heart, Guan Zhihe would definitely give everything for his father's life in exchange for his thoughtfulness, which was also in Guo Zhenxing's heart, if he was a righteous man and a gentleman, it would be okay, but he only saw selfless possession in his eyes, and did not see a trace of love for He'er.
