Chapter 571: The Liveliness of the Gu Mansion
The subordinates didn't dare to do it casually, so they went to ask for the opinions of the three daughters-in-law of the Gu family.
The three daughters-in-law of the Gu family were completely frightened at this time, but they couldn't help but save people, so Gu Qian's wife screamed: "You rush over, lead the snake away, lead it to the side, and then shoot it again, quick, go quickly!" ”
The subordinates were terrified, and they were also afraid of such a big death. Especially when they met the snake's eyes, they unconsciously wanted to step back.
Mrs. Gu yelled: "Whoever dares to run will be killed on the spot!" ”
At this time, the people didn't dare to run, so they could only rush up.
It's strange to say that the big snake that looked like it was about to eat people just now turned around and fled.
Mrs. Gu was overjoyed: "Quick, it's scared, catch up and kill it!" ”
The people suddenly became emboldened, and chased the serpent with sticks, and some of them shot the serpent with bows and arrows.
Then, just as the arrow was about to hit the big snake, the big snake suddenly shook and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.
Such an evil thing made everyone almost collapse with fear.
The three ladies of the Gu family also screamed in fright: "Quick, come here, gather around us, quickly!" The snake is fine, it will be invisible, you hurry up and protect us! ”
The masters and sons of the Gu family were in a mess, some went to protect the three ladies, some went to rescue the four mothers and sons who were frightened by snakes, and some went around looking for snakes.
At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers wearing iron armor poured into the Gu Mansion.
The captain in the lead said: "We are the Kyoto Forbidden Army, just now the people in your mansion said that a giant snake appeared in the mansion?" We're here to help, where is the snake? ”
There is a curfew in Kyoto, and the curfew in the outer city is extremely strict. The inner city is a little more relaxed, but not just everyone can walk around at night.
Just now, many people of the Gu family were so frightened by the giant snake that they opened the door of the mansion and fled, attracting Jin Wuwei who was patrolling the city. The subordinates were frightened and incoherent, and kept saying that there was a snake demon in the house and wanted to eat people.
They are in charge of the safety of Kyoto, and although they can't figure out what nonsense these subordinates are talking about, they must come and check on their responsibilities.
But where is the serpent? It's!
Du Wei asked Jin Wuwei to rummage in the garden for a long time, and he didn't even find a single bug.
So the lieutenant said very dissatisfied: "Ladies, the curfew regulations of the imperial court are clearly written, and no one is allowed to go out and walk without a valid reason after the curfew begins. It's a bit ridiculous that you've made such a fuss tonight, and you must send a person in charge to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to explain tonight's events. If you don't know how to deal with it, you must know what to do. ”
Jin Wuwei had a high status in the Great Zhou Dynasty and was responsible for the security of the entire Kyoto, including the Imperial Palace. Even if they are princes and important ministers, they can't easily offend them. Therefore, even if this captain spoke very rudely, the three ladies of the Gu family did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, and only wiped their tears vigorously.
The lieutenant didn't accept this, so he stood there and asked them to quickly send a representative out and go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with them.
On this big night, it must be inconvenient for the women to go out, let alone go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so in the end, they can only let Gu Qian, who has just woken up but has not yet recovered his soul, go.
And the people of the Gu Mansion continued to tense their nerves and rummage around the mansion for the shadow of the "snake demon".
Several masters of the Gu Mansion couldn't explain it at this time,
Lin Ruan was amused to death by them.
After appreciating the chaos of the Gu family, Lin Ruan instructed those "intelligence officers" to continue to stare at the Gu family, then withdrew his ability and went to sleep.
When he got up early the next morning, Lin Ruan listened to Lu Cao and a few little girls chatting and gossiping outside the door.
He called the green calyx in and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Lu Calyx looked excited: "County Lord, something is wrong, a snake demon appeared in the Gu Mansion last night, it is said that there is a house as big as a house, and the old lady Gu's house has collapsed." ”
Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows: "Snake demon? Which one is this singing, the Great Zhou Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, Lang Lang Qiankun, how to say that it is evil. You guys, don't follow the foolishness, we don't care what people outside say, but we are not allowed to spread those hearsay nonsense in our house. ”
Lu Calyx shook his head: "County Lord, this is not nonsense, to put it mildly, the Gu family was so noisy in the middle of the night last night that half of the inner city heard the movement." Many of the Gu family's subordinates were so frightened that they escaped from the house despite the curfew, which alarmed Jin Wuwei. ”
Lin Ruan pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that there are monsters?" Did Jin Wuwei also see it? ”
Jin Luan smiled eatingly: "Jin Wuwei didn't see it, he is asking the Gu family to come up with evidence at this time, otherwise they will be held accountable for the people in their mansion who disturbed the curfew last night." ”
Lin Ruan shrugged: "Doesn't that mean there are no snake demons at all?" Don't listen to the wind and the rain. ”
Lu Cao said: "County lord, it's really not the hearsay of the slaves, the masters of the Gu family all moved out of the Zhongxiao Mansion at dawn today and avoided in the other courtyard. At this time, someone in the house is being sent to rummage, saying that they are digging three feet into the ground, and they must find out the snake. Say that you should eliminate the evil for the people, and not let the serpent hurt anyone. ”
Lin Ruan couldn't laugh in his heart, let alone three feet, even if they dug through the earth, they couldn't find the "snake demon".
It's a pity that the joy of the success of the prank can only be enjoyed by herself, and she can't tell others, which is really a little less interesting.
Lin Ruan suddenly sighed: "Life, it's really lonely like snow!" ”
Green Calyx and Jinluan blinked, completely unaware of why their master suddenly made such a noise.
Only the flying feather next to him glanced at Lin Ruan deeply. She always felt that her master seemed to know everything about the affairs of the Gu Mansion.
Lin Ruan noticed Feifu's eyes and turned back to her and smiled slightly.
Xiao Jingchen went to the county lord's mansion after going down to the court, and after waving the maids away, he pinched her nose and said, "You were too naughty about the Gu Mansion last night." ”
Lin Ruan grinned: "Compared to the things they did, what is my prank?" ”
The corners of Xiao Jingchen's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of pampering: "Old Madam Gu was too frightened, and she is still unconscious." Old Uncle Gu's body is not good, he has been sick in bed, and after being alarmed last night, he is not very well. As for the three brothers of the Gu family, they all died today and did not go to court. ”
Lin Ruan was in a very good mood: "By the way, where did Ding Rui take people?" ”
This is the old Wang who asked.
Xiao Jingchen didn't hide it from her: "In Jinyiwei's prison, it's safe there." ”
Lin Ruan was a little curious: "Why would you send someone to intercept it?" ”
Xiao Jingchen smiled: "The Gu family is investigating you in private, how could I not pay close attention to them." That old Wang family is not good to you, I was originally worried that they would get together and plot to kill you, but I didn't expect to find out that the Gu family was going to kill people. Ding Rui and the others robbed the people first and controlled them in their hands, so that they could find out what the Gu family wanted to do. ”
