The Gu family suspected that the eldest master was killed, so they hurriedly let people into the palace and asked Gu Qiancheng to come back for an autopsy, but ......

"What about finding out? He's dead. "Died on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and died on the day after Qin Silent Yan hinted to everyone that he would make her a queen.

It's really time to die, and if you want to say that it was an accident, no one really believes it.

"Then don't you check it?" Second Uncle Gu looked dazed, and didn't seem to understand what Gu Qiancheng meant.

"Check, of course I have to check, I always want to know how he died." Although no matter how her scumbag father died, she had to keep filial piety for him for three years, but only by finding out the cause of death could the murderer be found, and only then would she know who she was, seeing that she was so unpleasant, she actually murdered her father on the first day of the New Year.

Third Uncle Gu nodded: "No matter what, we must find out the matter clearly, otherwise we won't be able to feel at ease." "If someone really killed his eldest brother in order to prevent Gu Qiancheng from becoming the queen, then ...... They must find out who the enemy is, or they will not know who will die next.

"Qiancheng go and have a look." Old lady Gu spoke, Gu Qiancheng was blessed, and then walked out, Gu Cheng said and hurriedly stood up, "Big sister, I'll go with you." ”

"Chengyi......" Aunt Gu was a little unhappy, she was really unlucky to see the corpse on the first day of the New Year, she didn't want her son to go, but Uncle Gu nodded and agreed, "Let Chengyi go together." ”

At this time, Gu Chengzhi couldn't stand still, so he had to say, "I'll go too." ”

Gu Qiancheng didn't care, he slowed down at the door, and waited for the two of them to come out before walking towards the study together.

On the way, Gu Chengyi quickened his steps and walked to Gu Qiancheng's side, and said worriedly: "Big sister, will the death of the uncle bring you a lot of trouble?" In the morning, when the old lady heard the news of her uncle's death, she fainted directly. He also said, "Heaven is going to destroy my Gu family", but Gu Chengyi doesn't dare to say this now.

"It's going to be a bit of a problem." The biggest trouble is that she has to keep filial piety for three years, and no matter how Qin Xiaoyan is, it is impossible to wait for three years to be established.

Moreover, she didn't dare to guarantee that after three years of filial piety, there would be no death in the family, and she would have to keep filial piety at that time......

"Ah...... So what to do? Big sister, can I help you? Gu Chengyi looked worried, and his pink face wrinkled.

Gu Qiancheng patted his head, "You just need to read hard and be admitted to the Jinshi." "Chengyi is a nephew, and he only needs to keep filial piety for a month, and he will not delay the imperial examination.

"Big sister, don't worry, the master said that I can be admitted to Xiucai this year, and if I am lucky, I may be able to be admitted to the lifter, but ...... Jinshi will have to wait at least five years, and I am not sure about the imperial examination in two years. And after being admitted to the Jinshi, he can only start as a seven-rank petty official, and he will become Gu Qiancheng's reliance at least ten years later.

"That's enough, you study hard is the biggest help for me." Gu Qiancheng didn't want to put too much pressure on Chengyi, but he couldn't do it without pressure, the third generation of the Gu family could only take the road of the imperial examination.

"Big sister, don't worry, I won't let you down." Gu Chengyi said solemnly, Chengzhi followed behind the two, his face was gloomy, and he didn't speak, and Gu Qiancheng and Chengyi didn't mean to talk to him.

When the three of them came to the study, Gu Qiancheng's maid had already brought the tools used in Gu Qiancheng's autopsy, Gu Qiancheng motioned to Chengyi and Chenghuan to wait for her outside, put on gloves and masks, and went in with a toolbox.

The eldest man of the Gu family was lying upright on the ground, his eyes were wide, his face was iron-blue, twisted, and hideous, and he seemed to have endured great pain before he died.

The clothes on the body were pulled apart, and judging from the angle and traces, they should have pulled it apart by themselves; There were tumbling marks on the floor, the table was not visible, and the chairs had traces of moving.

Gu Qiancheng unbuttoned the Gu family's shirt, and when he saw the impact marks on his body, he was sure that the Gu family's master had hit the table and chair before he died.

In addition to the impact marks, there are several finger marks on the neck of the eldest master, which are grabbed by himself after comparison.

In addition to the eldest lord in the house, there is no trace of the second person, and the wine and food on the table have been cold and non-toxic, so it is certain that the eldest master of the Gu family was not poisoned.

Gu Qiancheng preliminarily guessed that the reason for the eldest master's fatality should be related to the throat. However, judging from the surface of the corpse, it was not suffocation, it should be something else.

Gu Qiancheng frowned slightly, took out a knife, and directly cut the eldest master's trachea......

"Sure enough, it wasn't suffocation." As Gu Qiancheng expected, the eldest master had nothing in his throat, and there was no problem of suffocation.

Gu Qiancheng continued to cut down, and then she saw ......

White worms the size of ants crawled out of the throat of the Gu family's eldest master!

"What is this?" Gu Qiancheng's face changed greatly, he took a few steps back, and the corner of his eyes swept to Chengyi and Chengzhi outside the door, and shouted eagerly: "Chengyi, get out of here." ”

"Big sister, what's wrong?" Gu Chengyi asked worriedly, and was about to walk in with his legs, but was stopped by Gu Qiancheng, "Get out of here quickly and ask the old lady to come over." ”

Chengyi still wanted to fight for it, but was pulled away by Gu Chengzhi, "Listen to the big sister, don't make trouble for the big sister." ”

Gu Chengyi glanced at Qiancheng worriedly, turned around, and quickly ran towards the main hall......

Soon, the old lady and the second and third uncles came over. Gu Qiancheng asked everyone else to leave, and only let these three people in.

"Qiancheng, what did you find?" Along the way, Old Lady Gu was out of breath, even with the help of Second and Third Uncle Gu, she looked like she was stumbling.

"Old lady, look at ......" Gu Qiancheng used a dagger to pick open the clothes on the Gu family's eldest master, and saw ...... He was covered with white bugs, and those small bugs were eating at his corpse.

"Vomit ......" Second Master Gu immediately spit out, the old lady and the third uncle have seen the world in the end, although their faces are ugly, they are not out of shape.

"Qiancheng, what is this?" Third Uncle Gu asked.

"It should be a Gu worm." Gu Qiancheng wasn't sure, after all, she didn't know much about Gu worms.

"Gu worms? Who would use Gu worms to harm your father? A touch of ruthlessness flashed in the old lady's eyes, and the green tendons in her right hand bulged.

You must know that the death of the eldest master of the Gu family is not only the loss of a son for the old lady, but also the possibility that the Gu family will lose the opportunity to make a comeback.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet last night, no one in the capital knew that the emperor valued Gu Qiancheng. Even if Gu Qiancheng can't be the queen, it is definitely the respect of the imperial concubine, and when the time comes, with Qin Xiaoyan's favor, even if Gu Qiancheng is the imperial concubine, he doesn't need to put the queen in his eyes.

The old lady thought about it last night, how the Gu family will develop in the future, but now?

As soon as the eldest master of the Gu family died, Gu Qiancheng wanted to keep filial piety, and this qiē was all in vain, how could this be called why the old lady Gu didn't hate?
