Chapter 475: Unfilial Son
Unintentionally delaying time, these people moved quickly, and raised their jaws at Gu Jintai.
Almost all of them thought that this was a request for Gu Jintai to come over and exchange hostages.
So everyone watched Gu Jintai walk towards the group of gangsters.
Just when he was about to walk to the opposite side of the gangster, when everyone was caught off guard, the man in black led by him drew a long knife!
There was no room for reaction, everyone's heads went blank, and they watched Gu Jintai fall to the ground!
The old Marquis of Dingguo was the first to come back to his senses, and roared eagerly, but could not do anything except make a sound like a worn-out bellows.
The pampered people screamed in panic, especially the delicate ladies and ladies, who wept out in fright, and after being stopped by the fierce voice of the villain, there was an eerie silence in the hall.
Gu Jintai fell to the ground, bleeding all over the ground.
Because he was lying on his side on the ground and facing the villain, no one could see his current situation clearly, and only guessed that Gu Jintai was afraid that it was over.
Now, who will be the next Dingguo Hou?
People still have the heart to gossip here, not because of how calm they are, but because of habit.
Just when everyone thought that their lives were going to be explained here, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Don't wait for the people outside to come in, the people inside actively help themselves.
The guards and servants, who had been crushed and did not dare to move, rushed back like a dying struggle.
This kind of determination actually interrupted the rhythm of the group of black-clothed masked people, and there was a faint tendency to turn defeat into victory.
Gu Jinzhen stood at the end of the line from beginning to end.
Coming outside is Jing Zhaoyin, who is late every time.
When I think of this Dingguo Marquis Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin is also the first two big.
Family affairs, family affairs, naturally close the door, and solve it by your own family.
It's good that this family got it directly to the Dragon Palace, not to mention it in front of the emperor, and now it has involved everyone in the circle.
The grievances in my heart are uneven, and I still have to do my duty.
Therefore, after Jing Zhaoyin led people to come in in with a bold move, he reprimanded, and the two groups of people faced each other.
I don't know if it's because the people in the government intervened, and the black-clothed man who was still showing off his might before was losing and retreating, and he was about to become a turtle in an urn.
The red-eyed gangster who was killed didn't do anything, and he didn't stop, and rushed towards the old Dingguo Marquis.
Aunt Ruan, who has been standing beside Lao Dingguohou, doesn't know where she got the courage, and the mission is in front of Lao Dingguohou.
It's just that she's a woman, how can she be the opponent of this group of outlaws?
But with a slight tug, she was pushed to the side and slammed into the table.
When she sat down on the ground with her stomach covered, the corners of her skirt were scarlet!
Lao Dingguohou struggled instinctively, but his uncontrollable hands and feet, his body without a center of gravity, how could he be the opponent of these people?
The situation seems to be one-sided again.
Jing Zhaoyin's people did not dare to act rashly.
"Old marquis, I'm sorry, if you want to blame, blame yourself for not knowing current affairs, and you have to let Gu Jintai inherit the title. As long as you cooperate well, we won't want you to do anything, after all, that person specially instructed that you can't take your life until the last resort! β
The old Dingguo Marquis's eyes shrank suddenly.
The man in black behind him didn't know if it was out of fear or what, and he couldn't hold back the conversation as soon as he opened it.
The voice was extremely low, and in a voice that the old Marquis of Dingguo could barely hear, he said: "Speaking of which, the old marquis has raised a good son, I don't know what happened today, is the old marquis satisfied?" β
"Roarβ" bellows-like voice.
Everyone watched the struggle of the old Dingguo Marquis in confusion.
The people on Jing Zhaoyin's side saw a flaw and immediately went up again.
The man in black had no intention of fighting, and used the old Dingguo Marquis as a shield, and gradually retreated, and the family and guards who still regarded death as their home before were very passive because they were afraid.
Finally exiting the encirclement, the masked man led by him kicked Lao Dingguo Marquis in the waist hard, pushing him into the crowd.
The crowd was immediately chaotic, some hurriedly avoided it, and some were eager to catch the old Dingguo Hou.
The commotion of the crowd seriously affected the actions of the officials and gave the men in black time to escape.
By the time the crowd had quieted down, the ballroom was empty.
Lao Dingguohou sat on the ground panting, and the palace doctor hurried to the medicine box.
Although he wanted to avoid suspicion, Gu Jintai's current situation was really not suitable for moving, so after Chang Yulian retreated behind the screen with her female dependents, the house doctor began to check Gu Jintai's situation.
Lao Dingguohou stared at the actions of the palace doctor for a moment, and it was not until the latter swore that Gu Jintai was not injured and that he would be fine after resting in bed for two or three months, and then he let out a heavy breath of turbidity.
"It's just ......" The sudden turn in the words of the house doctor made the heart of the old Dingguo Marquis rise again, "Lord Hou's condition is very serious, if you don't take care of it well, it will leave hidden dangers." β
"Why didn't Master Hou wake up?" Aunt Ruan's pale face asked anxiously.
"Hou Ye has fainted due to excessive blood loss, and he will wake up later, in addition to the decoction, give Hou Ye more things that are easy to digest and nourish blood. Hou Ye has to completely recuperate, and during this time, in addition to not being able to go to the ground, even his thoughts should not be too heavy. Although it did not hurt the vital point, the wound was extremely deep, and it was not easy to recover. Especially now that it is winter, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping warm and prevent the wound from worsening. This time, Hou Ye is really blessed with a great fate, if the next person comes one step late, Hou Ye is afraid that he will be ......"
Aunt Ruan clutched her chest in shock.
Only by experiencing it first-hand can you know how critical the situation was at that time.
"Also, Aunt Ruan, your body...... Also take a good rest. β
"Me? I'm fine, I still have to serve the Hou Ye. Aunt Ruan gasped in pain, but she still stood beside Lao Dingguohou.
The house doctor said: "Aunt Ruan, the small confinement after giving birth is very important, if you don't take care of it well, if you want to conceive, I'm afraid it will be difficult." β
"Small, miscarriage, you mean me, I ......" Aunt Ruan looked at the house doctor in disbelief, and tears slipped down her eyes that were still stubborn before.
After diagnosing Gu Jintai's pulse, the government doctor also diagnosed Aunt Ruan and Lao Dingguohou, so he was also clear about Aunt Ruan's situation.
When the old Dingguo Marquis heard this, his eyes were even redder!
After the government doctor stepped down, the transcripts on the woman's side were almost done.
In any case, these are the parties involved, and Jing Zhaoyin routinely asks about them.
Although there are no useful clues, but in a formality, he can be regarded as dutiful.
Then, on the male guest's side, the process of questioning was also smooth, and everyone was confused, except for describing the scene at that time, the rest were speculations after gossip.
When it was the turn of the old Dingguo Marquis, Jing Zhaoyin couldn't cry or laugh.
Say congratulations, Gu Jintai's inheritance of the title is indeed a big deal, but there was a bloody disaster at the banquet, where did this congratulations come from?
Let's talk about comfort, people are holding a banquet today to celebrate Gu Jintai's succession to the title, where does this comfort begin?
After some struggle, Jing Zhaoyin asked directly: "Old Marquis, think about it carefully, who can you make enemies with during this time?" β
The old Dingguo Marquis stared at Gu Jinxuan intently.
From the time the incident happened to the present, Gu Jinxuan stood quietly in the crowd, watching everything without caring about himself.
Jing Zhaoyin understood, but he didn't dare to ask too bluntly, so he only asked tactfully: "Is Second Master Gu in trouble?" β
Lao Dingguohou couldn't speak well, and now he was so angry that he couldn't say a word, so he pulled Aunt Ruan's hand fiercely and pulled it a few times irritably.
Although the range of action was not large, Aunt Ruan immediately understood what Lao Dingguo meant and her face became embarrassed.
"If Aunt Ruan knows anything, she might as well say it directly. If the official catches the murderer as soon as possible, the Hou Mansion can restore calm as soon as possible. β
"Yes, my lord said so. Speaking of which, this is also the misfortune of the Hou Mansion," Aunt Ruan said in a low voice, "Because the second master is dissatisfied with the Hou Ye letting the third master inherit the title, he has done a big rebellious thing." β
"What does Aunt Ruan mean by the big rebellion?" Jing Zhaoyin asked in detail.
Aunt Ruan glanced at the old Dingguo Marquis, and after getting the latter's tacit approval, she said: "Before, the second master had let people sneak attack the old marquis, and after being caught by the third master's people, the third master thought that the second master was his own brother, so he didn't continue to investigate, just according to the old marquis's intentions, just in case, the lady and the second master were put under house arrest." Even the old marquis personally begged to the emperor, and also gave face to the wife and the second master, without mentioning what the two did. The third master inherited the title, and the old marquis was happy, so he specially held this banquet, but he didn't expect the second master to do something to the third master and the marquis at the banquet. β
"Oh?" Jing Zhaoyin raised his eyebrows, "Aunt Ruan's words, but there is evidence?" β
"The person who attacked the old marquis before is still locked up in the firewood room. The reason why the old marquis did not report to the official was that he thought that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and secondly, he also wanted to give the second master a chance. No matter how angry the second master is, he is also the son of the old marquis, and the old marquis also has expectations for him. No matter what the second master did, the old marquis was tolerant in his heart. Today's matter, the slave maid has no evidence, it's just that as soon as those people came, they said that they wanted the life of the third master, and the slave maid had some guesses in her heart. β
Jing Zhaoyin nodded slightly.
Aunt Ruan's speculation is reasonable.
Although Gu Sanye is a gentleman, he is still a good one in the circle, at least he didn't care about human life, he didn't bully men and women, he just loved to play a little, but he played all the things of losers such as fighting birds and fighting crickets, and never played women, at least, he didn't play women from good families.
Moreover, it is a fighting bird and a cricket, Gu Sanye's reputation in the industry is also good, he admits gambling and loses, never bullies others, and does not pay off accounts or anything, so if you really want to say who Gu Sanye has offended, it is better to believe Aunt Ruan's words, it is Gu Erye's hand, not to mention, Lao Dingguohou still has evidence in his hands.
Because Aunt Ruan didn't know what the man in black whispered to Lao Dingguohou, she could only talk about what happened before.
Jing Zhaoyin pondered for a long time, and said to the old Dingguo Marquis: "So, what does the Hou Ye mean?" β
