Chapter 154: Death
When such a thing happened, Gu Zhan had to clean up the tail of the hand in the palace and find out the reason for Gu Chongting's drugging. In this way, Gu Chongting was locked up in the Zhongxiao Hall, to be precise, in the courtyard on the left side of the Zhongxiao Hall.
This courtyard is very simple, it is a row of three rooms and a wall, where in the past there were thornwood rattan and other punishment utensils, but now they have been temporarily sorted out to detain Gu Chongting.
Guarding here in the Zhongxiao Hall is Gu Zhong, the old servant next to Gu Zhan. He didn't know what was going on in the Zhongxiao Hall, but he just faithfully carried out Gu Zhan's orders, and couldn't let the second master leave the Zhongxiao Hall one step.
Gu Zhong did it, because Gu Chongting really couldn't leave Zhongxiao Hall one step further. When Gu Zhong sent breakfast to Gu Chongting as he had done two days ago, he found that Gu Chongting had fallen to the ground with a dead expression, and he had been dead of anger for a long time!
"Ahhh......h
Gu Zhan in Songling Courtyard soon learned about it. At that time, he was washing the bed, and when he heard the hurried announcement of his subordinates, he was stunned for a moment, and then he stood up suddenly, and his movements were so violent that he hit the copper basin containing water at his side.
With a "clang", the copper basin fell to the ground, and the water also splashed Gu Zhan's clothes. But he didn't realize it, just trembled his lips and asked, "What did you say?" Heavy court...... How is he? ”
"Old lady, the second master has already gone......" said the servant with his head bowed. Early in the morning, when I heard such bad news, the servant's heart beat incessantly. The second master was suddenly imprisoned in Zhongxiao Hall. It's not out of breath. The doorway in this, the servants dare not think of it.
Gu Zhan only felt that his mind was blank, he didn't have any thoughts in his heart, and his steps had taken steps involuntarily.
He didn't know how he ran to Zhongxiao Hall, and when he came back to his senses, Gu Chongting appeared in front of him...... of corpses.
Gu Chongting's death was very peaceful, and he looked like he was asleep from a distance, still looking like he was elegant and handsome, but his face was too pale, and his chest did not rise and fall at all. This reminded Gu Zhan. The man in front of him is not asleep, but dead!
died, and he raised his son for more than thirty years. A son who loves more than his own son. He's dead......
"Ahh Gu Zhan suddenly wailed. His face was already covered with tears, and he walked over tremblingly, gently touching Gu Chongting's face. called in a low voice: "Ting'er ......"
When he ordered Gu Chongting to be imprisoned, Gu Zhan also thought that no matter what happened in the future, he would never admit that Gu Chongting was his son, and he would never forgive him, and even thought about not seeing him again in the future.
But now, Gu Chongting is dead, and only a cold corpse remains. The previous hatred and indifference seemed to have disappeared, and he only felt that a piece of his heart had been stripped away, and the pain was unbearable, and he could only cry again.
Such a big thing spread all over the Gu family in an instant, and the reaction of each courtyard was different.
When Sun Qiluo in the brocade courtyard heard the news of his death, he screamed and wept as he screamed, refusing to accept the bad news. In the past two days, the Gu family has changed too quickly and too much, and she doesn't understand what happened at all.
Two days earlier, Gu Chongting also told her that when the spring was good in February, he would take her to the suburbs of Beijing to step on the spring, and then have a child, and the three of them lived in harmony. However, then Gu Chongting was locked up in Zhongxiao Hall, and the news of his death came out, how could this be?
"Senior brother......" Sun cried out in sorrow, fainting softly.
When the Lian family of Gantang Courtyard heard the news of Gu Chongting's death, his eyes shrank, and there was not much expression on his face, and then he calmly replied: "I know." ”
She has been sitting upright, her demeanor is as dignified as before, looking like a doll, but her hands hanging by her side are shaking incessantly.
The maid Huanhong saw Lian's trembling hands, and thought to herself that after all, even if the wife resented the lord again, she was still very sad, but she couldn't cry.
Lian's mood at the moment is really obscure. After knowing that the shop on Dongcheng Street was transferred, she secretly cursed Gu Chongting's death day and night, and when he was in the most troubled, she had to step on it hard, she had no husband and wife to ask for a split with him, but she wished that she hadn't met this person back then.
However, he really died, so suddenly. Hearing the news of his death, Lian Shi had no sadness or joy, only felt that his heart was empty and there was nothing.
After a long time, Lian Shi said: "Take out the bead curtain that I received before and hang it up." ”
In addition to the Brocade Courtyard and the Gantang Courtyard, the Ruler Courtyard also paid unusual attention to Gu Chongting's death. Gu Yan didn't expect that Gu Chongting would die like this, and the murderer who originally pushed the Gu family to death in the previous life died like this.
"How did he die?" Gu Yan asked Mama Feng, her expression was quite solemn.
Gu Chongting died too suddenly, and the cause of death had to be paid attention to by Gu Yan. She thought that Gu Chongting would never stay, otherwise she would suffer endlessly. It's just that the body is dead, and it will be completely eliminated, so that it will not make waves again.
But for a while, she didn't want to attack Gu Chongting. Gu Yan wants Gu Chongting to die, he must let him die naturally, not die like now.
"I was strangled to death with a rattan stick. It should be in the middle of the night last night, someone sneaked into Zhongxiao Hall and killed him. Mama Wind calmly described the scene she had guessed.
She had just returned from Zhongxiao Hall, and she had already personally examined Gu Chongting's corpse before she came to this judgment.
"Did Grandma Zuo notice any movement?" Gu Yan said. Mama Feng's shot at you has already been good, if someone from the Gu family sneaks in, she should be aware of it.
"The slave noticed that something was wrong at the time, but because it was the northwest direction, and I thought it was more important for the young master, I didn't go in person." Mama Feng said this, looking quite self-reproachful.
This was the case with her thoughts and actions last night, and in her early opinion, the northwest side was mostly the ancestral hall, the Buddha Hall, and the Torture Hall, and the masters were not there, even if there was any abnormality, it was not an important abnormality.
Didn't think of an oversight. Gu Chongting died, Mama Feng's heart was a little sad, and she felt that Gu Chongting's death was caused by her negligence.
"Mama, you didn't expect such a thing to happen, don't blame yourself. The murderer comes prepared, and he will not give up until the goal is achieved, even if you can stop it once, it may not be able to stop it a second time, and the result is the same. Gu Yan comforted like this, guessing the person who killed Gu Chongting.
The world says that the death of one person is a great good. But Gu Yan never felt that way. The bad guys are dead. It does not mean that the bad people are good, and the evil deeds they have done will not perish. Regarding Gu Chongting's death, she did not feel guilty or regretful, let alone sad.
From this point of view. Gu Yan's heart is much more sober and cold than Gu Zhan, Gu Chongting and others. I'm not a Buddha. He who harms me and kills me. How can you have compassion?!
After Gu Chongting's death, the only thing she cared about was, who killed Gu Chongting? Thinking of the things that Gu Chongting did in the palace. Gu Yan thought very lightly that he was killed because someone wanted to hide the truth.
Why did Gu Chongting save medicine in the palace? This question is what Gu Yan thinks, and it is also what Gu Zhan has been investigating in the past two days. He was a small court official who murdered the emperor and had no practical benefit at all, so who was he instructed by? The person who instructed Gu Chongting to take the drug must be the one who killed Gu Chongting.
Who could it be? Gu Yan sketched a human figure in his heart, and then said in a low voice: "It's him again......"
This "him", the first person Gu Yan thought of was Qin Ji. There is no way, the influence of the previous life is too profound, and in this life, Gu Chongting and Qin Ji have a relationship, she can't think of Qin Ji, it's difficult.
At this moment, Qin Ji was leaning on the head of the bed, his face was a little pale, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "The matter has been done?" ”
"It's done, Gu Chongting is dead." Li Chu replied. To be honest, he has been by Qin Ji's side for a long time, and he still can't see through this prince and why he did these things.
Previously, Shizi was ambushed in the alley and was wounded by a sword and poison, and he has not recovered yet. But during the period of recuperation, the prince's mind has never been stable, and he is still planning something.
In Li Chu's opinion, this matter is not so important, at least, it is not as important as tracking down the murderer in the alley. However, the master still put this matter first, so that Li Chu didn't know what to say.
"Shizi, His Royal Highness seems to have heard something, and when he left yesterday, he also asked his subordinates if they knew about the fire in the Shangshi Bureau." Li Chu thought about it for a while and said so.
The fire in the Shang Food Bureau, and the Ninth Highness kicked the food box, such a thing can easily make someone with a heart think of something, let alone a person with a clear mind like the Third Highness. He would ask about the fire, and he would be suspicious. Li Chu couldn't understand why the master didn't tell His Royal Highness about the drugging, anyway, this matter was for the sake of His Royal Highness, why didn't he sue him?
"Just say that you don't know, tell everyone to keep their mouths tighter, and this matter must not be known to His Highness." Qin Ji commanded, his voice raised, and his brows furrowed.
Although these things are only good for the three princes, although Qin Ji can do it, he can't let the three princes know, but he can't admit that he has done such a thing. Because, he can't let the third prince suspect him and be afraid of him.
As for the heart of the three princes, Qin Ji knew too clearly. If he knew that he had done such a thing, even if it was for his own good, he would have thought that he would dare to do anything with a ruthless heart.
Even the emperor dares to plot, he may think, will one day, he even dare to murder him? Qin Ji didn't dare to take such a risk.
Li Chu nodded, indicating that he was clear, knowing that this matter must not enter the ears of the third prince. After thinking about it, he asked: "Shizi, Gu Chongting is dead, and the tail of the Gu family's hand is ......" -- what he wanted to ask was what kind of Cheng dù should be done on the tail of the Gu family.
Qin Ji didn't have the slightest mercy for this kind of person who ruined his plan, not to mention, Gu Chongting also broke the matter between him and the third prince, even if Gu Chongting was dead, he couldn't leave a hidden danger!
Then, he said four words coldly, which made Li Chu's heart frightened.
(Extra: The dimension of goodness is different.) Everyone doesn't like Gu Zhan, probably because his dimension of goodness is wrong. I'll work hard today, three more! Praise for it, haha! (To be continued......)
