Chapter 046: Phalanges

"Who is she?"

The banquet of the waiter of the Criminal Department was either rich or expensive, and ninety percent of the people who went to the banquet were familiar with each other, only Yan Suwen, who was following Gu Changfeng, was an unfamiliar face. As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes immediately surrounded, some scrutinized, some guessed, and some were hostile and contemptuous. But in my heart, I was also puzzled about her identity.

"Who she is, do you know?"

"I don't know, I've never seen a woman appear next to Gu Xiang."

"She, could she be the legendary woman who wants to marry Gu Xiang?"

"You mean the second miss of the Yan family who is indecent."

"I guess it's her."

"Joke! What kind of person is Gu Xiang, how could he bring such a woman to the banquet. ”

"That's it, Gu Xiang and her are only married when they were young, and they are not the person they like, how could they bring her to this kind of scene."

Everyone was talking, and some words reached Yan Suwen's ears and Gu Changfeng's ears.

"Xiaguan see Xiangye!" Zuo Zongquan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, led his wife to greet him: "The prime minister can come, the lower officials are grateful, and the disdain is even more brilliant." ”

"Zuo-sama doesn't have to be formal."

"This isβ€”"

"Mrs. Nature!" Gu Changfeng's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it clearly.

"Husband...... Madam? Zuo-sama's voice began to stutter.

"That's right, she is the lady Yan Su who hasn't passed through the door yet." Gu Changfeng said, and added: "It's not too soon." ”

"Congratulations to Xiangye! Congratulations! Xiaguan Zuo Zongquan has seen Madame! ”

"Lord Zuo doesn't have to be polite." Yan Suwen also learned from Gu Changfeng's appearance.

He said that she was the wife of the prime minister who he had never come to the door, and since she was the wife of the prime minister, she naturally had to learn a little bit of his style.

Behind him, the young ladies of the official family who had just discussed began to whisper again.

In the previous life, Yan Suwen underwent special training organized by the organization, and his ear power was better than that of ordinary people. After being reborn as Yan Suwen, she also willingly or unintentionally follow the previous training method, so she heard them whispering.

Gu Changfeng can naturally hear it.

"Gu Xiang's wife?" There was an official lady whose voice was sharp, and she didn't want to believe it: "When did Gu Xiang get married?" ”

"I haven't gotten married yet, Gu Xianggang didn't say it, it's his wife who hasn't passed through the door yet."

"I don't need you to remind you, I heard that just now. Miss Ben meant, Gu Xiang, when did he have this lady who had never passed through the door. ”

"It is said that Mrs. Gu set a baby for Gu Xiang in the early years."

"She was lucky to have such a person as Gu Xiang for nothing." The official lady gritted her teeth with hatred: "Gu Xiang, this doll is pro, Miss Ben has also heard of it." But Miss Ben also heard that the Gu family was planning to withdraw from this family business. ”

"I've heard that, too. But I also heard that it was Gu Xiang who went to Jingxin Nunnery to handle the case, and it happened that his future wife was also there. I don't know what means she used to ...... with Gu Xiang Gu Xiang married her, maybe he was helpless. ”

"It's so hateful, Miss Ben must teach her a lesson."

"Miss Di, don't be impulsive! Didn't the young lady see Gu Xiang's appearance just now? ”

"What does Gu Xiang look like?"

"Gu Xiang didn't have the slightest helplessness, but was a little happy."

"Rejoice? Your eyes see that he is glad! I know, you wish Gu Xiang could marry the second miss of the Yan family, because you, like her, are from a low background, and you all dream of marrying Gu Xiang. Do you think that Gu Xiang can accept the second miss of the Yan family, so he can accept you. Hmph, you don't look at yourself, just the way you were born, even if you are a concubine for Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang will feel disgusting. ”

"Miss Di's background is indeed noble, but what she just said does not match Miss's noble identity."

"Qiu Jirong, are you looking for death?"

"People will die sooner or later, and Jirong never shies away from the question of life and death. It's just that this finding death has never been something Ji Rong will do, but it looks like what you are doing, Miss Di. ”

"You-"

As soon as one hand was raised, it was bumped down by Yan Suwen's "inadvertent passing".

"Sorry! The road is narrow, so it didn't hurt you. ”

"You-"

That Miss Di wanted to use the excuse to play, but found that she was suddenly speechless. She was so anxious that she only shed tears, and she didn't care about continuing to be embarrassed by Yan Su's question, so she turned around and ran towards a pair of gorgeously dressed people.

"What's wrong with Miss Di?" Qiu Jirong asked.

"I guess it hurt me." Yan Suwen looked at Qiu Jirong and replied: "There are many people, the road is narrow, and the young lady is standing and refuses to move, and in desperation, Suwen is also cured and squeezed." ”

"Qiu Jirong."

Yan Su asked.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they hated seeing each other late, and they were born to be best friends.

Here, Yan Suwen was chatting with Qiu Jirong, who had just met.

Over there, Gu Changfeng, who was deliberately snubbed by Yan Suwen, gave Gu Yunfei a look in private.

Not long after the Zuo family banquet began, a cook in charge of serving food stepped on something and fell into the courtyard with a plate. The cook knew that she had made a big mistake, hurriedly cleaned up, and when she turned to leave, she was stopped by Gu Yunfei.

"What's wrong?"

"If you go back to your grandfather, you accidentally stepped on something while walking, and your feet slipped and you fell."

"It's not hurt, is it?"

"No, no!" The cook didn't know why this official was concerned about herself, but she felt that a catastrophe was coming, so she quickly shook her head.

"It's good that it's not hurt, be careful next time." Gu Yunfei said as he pulled the food that the cook had just put away with his hand: "What is this?" ”

"This isβ€”" The cook stared at the bone that looked like a human finger that came from nowhere, and her face turned white instantly: "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't know what this is." ”

"It's like a person's little thumb." Gu Yunfei shook the white bone: "Oh, it's wrong, it's not the little thumb, it's the white bone that the little thumb turns into after it rots." Tsk, it looks like it's still some years old. ”

"The slave doesn't know, the slave really doesn't know." The cook knelt on the ground with a "plop", and the whole person trembled with fright.

"Get up, I only said that this seems to be a human thumb bone, but I didn't say that it must have something to do with you." Gu Yunfei motioned to the cook to get up: "You said you just stepped on something." Isn't that what you're stepping on? If you look closely, there are shoe prints on it. It's really strange, how could this Lord Zuo's housewarming banquet understand that a small section of human bones appeared for no reason. ”

The cook's face was like ashes, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak anymore, and her whole person fell to the ground, trembling.

"What's wrong?"

"Back to Xiangye's words, his subordinates picked up a small section of human bones from this overturned dish."

Gu Yunfei handed the small section of human bones to Gu Changfeng.

"Madame, come and see, these are human bones." Gu Changfeng didn't pick it up, but turned to Yan Su, who had already come out and was going to take a look at the bustle, and asked.

Yan Suwen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was now the lady in his mouth, so he lowered his head and stepped forward, took the bone first, and then looked at it carefully before replying: "It's a human bone, and it's still a little thumb." Judging by the direction of bone growth, it should be the little phalange of the right hand. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the cut of the bone again.

"This small section of bone was cut off with a sharp object. You see, my lord, the cut surface of this bone is very rough, which means that this person is extremely impatient when cutting it. In addition, this cut is fresh, so the bone is not cut while the person is alive, but when it has become white bones. It was a postmortem injury, and the one with the little finger bone cut off should have been dead for a long time. ”

"Lord Zuo?"

"Xiaguan is here! The lower official is here! Zuo Zongquan wiped the cold sweat on his head and walked over with a hunched waist.

"Explain it to you."

"Back to Xiangye's words, this subordinate really doesn't know." Zuo Zongquan was a little panicked in his heart: "Xiangye, you know, this house was bought by Xia Guan a year ago. The reason why he bought this house was because Xia Guan planned to take over his wife and children who had lived in his hometown for a long time. Today's banquet is also a housewarming banquet for housewarming, and the cooks and cooks are invited from various restaurants and restaurants in Yecheng. If the prime minister doesn't believe it, he can let General Gu go to investigate, and if there is a lie, the subordinate is willing to accept the guilt. ”

"Benxiang didn't ask you about the house, but asked you where this bone came from?"

"The lower officials don't know, the lower officials really don't know."

"She doesn't know, and you don't know, could it be that this bone came out of itself?"

"Master, this bone may really come out of itself." Gu Yunfei arched his hand: "My subordinate just asked the cook who served the food, and the cook said that she stepped on something and fell down." When the subordinates came out, the cook was scrambling to clean up the food scattered on the ground because she was afraid. This bone may have been picked up by the cook unintentionally in a panic and mixed into the meal. ”

Gu Changfeng glanced at the cook who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked Zuo Zongquan: "Lord Zuo doesn't mind digging up your yard in his own right." ”

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

"Yunfei."

"Yes!" Gu Yunfei waved his hand, and the family members in Zuofu immediately surrounded him. He pointed to the place where the cook had just fallen and said, "Dig! If you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig for me! ”

Digging three feet into the ground, the family dug up a box.

The box is made of wood, because it is buried in the ground all year round, and the color is somewhat black. When I got closer, I could vaguely smell a strange smell. Driven by curiosity, the ladies and ladies who had come to the banquet also gathered around. They were eager to know what was in the wooden box buried deep in the courtyard of the Zuo family.

The box was opened, but the onlookers felt that their limbs were cold, especially those who were timid, and they screamed directly, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

In the open wooden box, there were two upper limbs with sleeves, that is, two arms that had been cut off with sharp weapons, and one of them was missing a little thumb.
