Chapter 84: Murderous Letter (3)
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be shocked, the secret guard was seriously injured, and after this big change, his psychology was close to collapse, and he was running in the starry night, and his body was too overdrawn, and it was already a miracle that he could survive to the Qingyang Hou Mansion.
How can this state withstand Gu Zhengrong's angry slap now.
Sure enough, Gu Zhengrong threw out a slap, and the dark guard, who was already crumbling, immediately fell to the ground.
Gu Chongyang was in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”
The secret guard gasped for breath, and it took a long time to get up on the ground and kneel, he looked at Gu Zhengrong and everyone in the room, and his eyes were desperate: "Although the villain is an insignificant secret guard, he also understands the truth of the lord's humiliation and death, the villain should have died in Hamiwei with Hou Ye, and he will continue to breathe until now, just for Hou Ye's deathbed, and bring the words back to the house." Now, the villain's task is complete, and the villain can also follow Hou Ye. ”
Hearing this, Gu Chongyang shouted badly, and was about to step forward to stop him, but the secret guard had already used all his strength to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but stomp his feet in anger.
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the dereliction of responsibility of the Marquis of Qingyang has already happened and cannot be changed, and the most important thing at the moment is to find out whether the person who colluded with the inside and outside of the Tile Thorn army is the concubine accepted by the Marquis of Qingyang, which is the key to the problem.
Gu Chongyang originally planned to ask this secret guard, but he didn't expect Gu Zhengrong to slap someone to death. How could she not be angry in her heart: "Big brother, you are too reckless, I still have a lot to ask him." ”
"Humph!" Gu Zhengrong glared at the corpse on the ground hatefully and said, "It's not a pity for this kind of person to die, my father is dead, what else is there to ask." ”
Gu Chongyang shook his head angrily, she really couldn't make sense with this kind of dustless Houmen Gongzi.
The eldest lady also realized that something was wrong at this moment, but she didn't want to lose her son's face in front of everyone, especially when her husband was dead, her son was the future successor of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, and she had to maintain her son's dignity.
"Okay, Brother Rong, this kind of thing happened to Master Hou, I know you are sad and sad, and I feel as uncomfortable as you......" The eldest lady covered her chest and said in a choked voice: "I'll deal with it here, you don't care." ”
After speaking, she urged Mama Jin again: "Why don't you find someone to carry the body out quickly." ”
As soon as her words fell, a mother-in-law at the second gate stumbled and ran in in horror: "Madam, madam, something important...... Not good...... Jinyiwei, there are a lot of Jinyiwei outside, surrounding our family. ”
This news was like a bolt from the blue, not to mention the eldest lady Hao, and the other people in the room were also stunned.
However, after a few moments, everyone reacted.
The second young lady Gu Chongzhu was so frightened that she hugged her mother and screamed: "Mother, why did Jinyiwei come to the door?" These people are too bold, quick, let the subordinates close the door and don't let them in. ”
What ignorance! Jinyiwei wants to come to the door, and if you don't cooperate, it is a non-compliance with the order. They don't care if you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion or not, it is not impossible to kill you on the spot.
The second lady was also frightened, and she cried on the spot: "My God, what did Master Hou do, we don't know anything." Those brocade guards are like wolves and tigers, are they going to put us in prison? Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you should find a way. ”
The eldest lady was full of plain face, her expression was flustered, where was her usual shrewdness and steady?
Some of the maids and servants were trembling, some were crying quietly, and some were crying loudly, and they were overwhelmed by the panic.
"Big brother!" Gu Chongyang stepped forward and said to Gu Zhengrong: "My father and second uncle are not at home, and my third uncle is frail and sickly, so you are the pillar of support now." ”
Gu Zhengrong looked at Gu Chongyang as if he had woken up from a dream: "Fourth sister, you're right, I'm ...... What should I do? ”
"Now that the Jinyi Guard has come to the door, our family must send someone to inquire about the situation, and we can't sit here and wait." Gu Chongyang said anxiously: "You call tens of thousands of great housekeepers to support them and see what they mean?" Will they be ordered to take care of us, or will they send us to prison and raid our homes? ”
Prison edicts, raids!
Gu Zhengrong listened to Gu Chongyang's words, he was frightened and cold sweated, he was terrified, his lips trembled, and he said, "I won't go...... I can't go, those people are Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei who kills people without blinking, you can't let me go to death! ”
This bastard!
Gu Chongyang was so angry that his face turned green: "Aren't you very majestic just now?" There are no other men in the house, if you don't go, who will? ”
"Let the second brother go!" Gu Zhengrong suddenly pointed at Gu Mingming and said, "The second brother is only one year younger than me, you let him go." ”
Gu Mingxi listened, and his already sincere face added a little fear: "I'm not going, the eldest uncle is gone, the eldest brother is the heir, and if you want to go, the eldest brother will go." ”
The two brothers shirked each other, Gu Chongyang was so angry that he stomped his feet, these two people couldn't be counted on, so she had to go to the eldest lady: "Auntie, what the hell, you should also come out with a charter." ”
"I'll go." The eldest lady didn't have any blood on her face, and said reluctantly: "Four girls, help me up, I'll go see what's going on." ”
Gu Chongyang and Mama Jin almost put the eldest lady up, one left and one right.
"Nonsense!" I only heard an angry shout outside, accompanied by the sound of crutches hitting the ground heavily: "Brother Peng's daughter-in-law is like this now, how did she go?" Mama Jin, you are also the old man in the family, how can the fourth lady come with your wife? She looks like a mourner, how can she go out to negotiate with the people of Jinyiwei? ”
"Old lady of the long house!"
Seeing Mrs. Cui standing under the corridor surrounded by Mama Ding, Mrs. Ying, and five or six maids-in-law, Gu Chongyang only felt that he had found the backbone of the heart all of a sudden.
She hurriedly walked over and said, "Old lady, Jinyiwei has arrived at the door, what do you say I should do?" ”
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen in the Gu family's century-old foundation, what is this!" Old Madam Cui said, "Go in and talk." ”
Gu Chongyang hurriedly welcomed Mrs. Cui into the house and sat on the upper seat.
The eldest lady had tears in her eyes and a face full of guilt: "Auntie ......"
"Okay, I already know everything, don't say anything, you sit down first, I'll ask you."
When Old Madam Cui spoke, the calm and sophisticated appearance of Mount Tai collapsing forward without falling made Gu Chongyang's also calm down.
The people who were originally panicked also calmed down a lot because of the arrival of Old Madam Cui.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the corpse of the secret guard on the ground, Old Madam Cui asked with a sinking face.
Gu Chongyang said: "It's the secret guard next to Hou Ye, who came all the way from Hamiwei to report to us." ”
"How did you die here?" Old Madam Cui scolded: "Mama Jin is not going to find someone to carry the body down, if this is seen by the people of Jinyiwei, it will be nothing to do."
Mama Jin woke up like a dream, and quickly found someone to carry the body and left.
"The rumors and rumors outside say that the Hou Ye is collaborating with the enemy and treason, I absolutely don't believe it. The sons and daughters of the Gu family would never commit treason. Old Madam Cui's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then said, "The most important thing at the moment is to find out where Master Hou is now." Secondly, it is necessary to find out whether the person who should be in harmony with the tile spur is the concubine of the Hou Ye. ”
"What did the Dark Guard say?"
"Old lady, the Hou Ye was caught by the tile thorn, and in order to avoid humiliation, he drew his sword and killed himself, and he was martyred."
"Kill yourself!" A touch of gloom flashed on Old Madam Cui's face, and then she said: "Since it is self-killing, there must be a corpse, and there will definitely be news coming out, and the people of Jinyiwei can naturally find out about this." As long as they are not collaborating with the enemy and treason, none of these people here will have to worry about their lives. ”
She asked again, "What is the matter with the concubine?" ”
There was silence, and no one answered.
When Mrs. Cui saw this, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and she said, "Why don't you speak?" Don't talk about it now, do you have to wait until you are caught by Jinyiwei and tortured in prison? ”
"I don't know." Gu Chongyang shook his head and said, "Before he could ask, the secret guard bit his tongue and committed suicide." ”
Old Madam Cui's face fell suddenly: "He traveled thousands of miles to the capital to report the news, and he bit his tongue and committed suicide before he could say it clearly?" ”
"It's Brother Rong." The second lady stood up and complained: "Brother Rong slapped the secret guard, and said that the secret guard was a waste, and the secret guard bit his tongue and committed suicide." ”
"Confused!" Mrs. Cui's husband and son died one after another, and only one grandson was still ill all the year round, and the perennial widowhood and many unsatisfactory things made her hone her joy and anger, but after listening to the words of the second lady, she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart: "There is such a big thing, you don't think about how to solve it, but want to beat others." Brother Rong'er, you are also the son of everyone, your father is no longer here, you should support the family business, look at your reckless nature, how can people rest assured that the Qingyang Hou Mansion will be in your hands! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room changed color.
Gu Zhengrong was okay, he was just uncomfortable because he was reprimanded in public.
But the eldest lady Hao's heart suddenly rose, for no other reason, just because the title of this marquis was originally a long house, whether it was the old Qingyang Marquis, or the newly dead Qingyang Hou Gu Zhanming, the title was just borrowed.
If the old lady of the long room is reasonable, they are afraid that the second room will return this position to the long room.
How can that work!
The position can only belong to her son Rong Ge'er, why should the sick man who can't stand up in the long house rob her son?
