"Are you blind when you think Gu Xiaoye?" Gu Yunfei pulled out the dagger and pointed it at Xu Jing's neck: "Do you know the Xuantie dagger?" As long as the master strokes lightly, the blood in your throat will spurt out like wine. ”

Xu Jing was obviously afraid, and his neck subconsciously shrank back.

"This metaphor ......" Yan Suwen shook his head, a little suspicious of how Gu Yunfei's title of general came from.

"I really didn't kill anyone, I just hid in advance when others were going to kill me."

"How do you know someone is going to kill you?"

"Because there are strange things to live in, because someone wants what I have." Xu Jing lowered his head: "I used to want to be like the two adults, using my knowledge to work for the officials and the people." However, the imperial examination was unfavorable, and his name fell to Sun Shan, and he wanted to go out to relax in frustration. It was at that time that I got to know some people. ”

"Who?"

"A bunch of people who make their fortune digging people's graves." Xu Jing was a little embarrassed and said, "At first, I didn't know that they were doing that, I thought they were just simple antiquities dealers. They were not very knowledgeable, and they wanted to sell those things for a good price, so I helped them and made a little money for themselves. Later, when I learned their true identities, I also thought about reporting to the officials, thinking about parting ways with them and leaving them clean. But people, they can't resist the temptation of interests, so I just messed up with them.

About half a year later, we stumbled upon a vein. The vein was not the usual copper, iron, or silver ore, but a gold mine. ”

"Gold mines?"

"Yes, a gold mine, the area is not very large, but it is enough for us ordinary people to enjoy it for several lifetimes."

"No wonder you can make a fortune in just one year."

"Because I have sought ill-gotten gains." Xu Jing smiled, his smile was a little reluctant: "Relying on these ill-gotten gains, I bought all the fields and mountains around the gold mine. My later businesses were also run to hide people's eyes and ears, so as not to attract the attention of the government. Probably because I still have some talent for business, I have slowly grown my business. ”

"Where's your grave robber friends?"

"I don't know. At first, we had some contact, but then it was broken. ”

"Didn't you have an infighting and you killed them all?"

"No, not really. Although this gold mine is rare, the gold mined is divided equally among everyone, and there is no relationship of uneven distribution of benefits. As for me, I like money, but I don't love money very much. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check on my Xu family's business, and my profits will be shared among them. When you don't have this money, you want to have it, but sometimes you don't care very much about it.

Moreover, they are not only pointing to this gold mine. Gold has a price, treasures are priceless, and what they have in their hands is no worse than this gold mine. ”

"We'll investigate this matter, so let's talk about your own problems first." Gu Yunfei looked around the room: "Let's talk first, where has your family gone?" ”

"Dead, all dead!"

"Who killed it?"

"I don't know who it is, but I know that the person who killed my whole family is the one who asked Li Hong to come to my house to propose to my daughter."

"You know, why do you want to marry your daughter to Li Hong?"

"I can't help it." Xu Jing clenched his hands: "Before Li Hong came to my house to propose, I was threatened by others. The man asked me to marry my daughter to Li Hong, and specified that I should bring the title deed with the gold mine to the Li family as a dowry. I confess that I am not a good father, and I have pushed my daughter into the fire pit for my own life. ”

"Your daughter is dead, you know?"

"I know, I chose her maid to dowry, and she also passed on the news of my daughter's murder to me." Xu Jing lowered his head: "I also started to prepare from that day, I deliberately chose a person who looks similar to me to stay by my side, in order to be able to save my life at a critical time." I didn't expect that one day I would actually survive with this. ”

Xu Jing took a deep breath, looked at the room and said slowly: "They cleaned up so cleanly, if I hadn't hidden in the secret room that day and witnessed everything with my own eyes, even I would have to wonder if my family had evaporated overnight." ”

"What's going on?"

"I will never forget the events of that day in my life." Xu Jing looked down at the stone slab in front of him: "Early that morning, I felt flustered, and I felt very unsteady, as if something big was about to happen." When Madame saw that I was restless and very uncomfortable, she gave me a decoction of calmness. After taking the decoction, I fell asleep. But even when I fell asleep, I still felt unsure, and even the dreams I had were nightmares. When I woke up from my nightmare, I made up my mind and started planning everything. ”

"What do you do?"

"I killed a man, the one I found in advance to replace me. I summoned him indoors, tricked him into drinking the poisonous liquor, and when he died, I took off my own clothes and put them on his body, and carried him to the bed. After all this, I wanted to burn him down with this bedroom. I know that a dead man will not speak, but only a charred dead man will not let people see who he really is.

As a result, before I could do it, the bedroom door was slammed open. A figure pushed open the door and tried to step in, but was beheaded at the threshold, and the head was like a melon, and Gollum rolled to this point. She looked at me sideways, her face full of confusion. It was my wife, and she didn't even know how she died the moment her head was cut off.

Immediately after, I heard the sound of a fight outside. My Xu family's family members are also selected, and I know that they can barely resist for a while. Taking advantage of that, I opened the mechanism in this bedroom and hid inside. Later, you should be able to imagine that the entire Xu family except for me is all dead, and not a single one is left alive.

For three days, I hid in the secret room for three whole days. At first, I was worried that they would find me. Probably because of the stand-in I was looking for, they thought I was dead, so they didn't look for it any further, and I barely survived this life. Three days later, I carefully crawled out of the chamber and cleaned up all the crimes, except for the scattered blood stains on the ground. ”

"Since you are alive, why don't you report to the official?"

"Reporter? Let the murderer know that he didn't cut the grass and continue to come back and kill me? Although I am not smart, I am not stupid, I can slaughter my Xu family overnight, and I can disturb the scene so clean without panic and hands, the background of these gangsters is by no means simple, maybe they are people in the government. ”

"Presumptuous!"

"Yunfei, let him continue."

"It seems that Gu Xiangzhi believed what I said. Also, this is a bright and clear thing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if it weren't for the official background, who would be able to do such a bold thing. ”

"If you are alive, why don't you run away?"

"Escape? Where to flee? Is there any safer place in the world than this house? Besides, all the gold and silver I have left are in the secret room, and at this time, I have no way to take these riches out without knowing it. ”

"You must be hiding something else besides the veins." Gu Yunfei stared at Xu Jing, and that gaze made his scalp feel numb.

"Why did Gu Xiang say that?"

"The Xu family's mineral vein has been sent to the Li Mansion as a dowry, and your daughter Xu Linyu may have been murdered because of this incident, and the title deed must have fallen into the hands of the person who wanted to get it. That being the case, why did they massacre your Xu family? It's one thing to cover up the truth, but it's more important that you have something else in your hands. ”

"Gu Xiang is worthy of being Gu Xiang, I do have something in my hand, something that is more expensive than a gold mine. I can give this kind of thing to Gu Xiang, but I have a request, I hope that Gu Xiang can send someone to protect me from Guiyun Town, and be able to give me a new identity. Only when Xu Jing is really dead can I live safely.

In the days when these people were not human and ghosts, I also thought clearly and figured out what to do, even if I had more wealth, I didn't have my life to spend it, and it was not in vain. The gold and silver in my secret room are enough for me to enjoy the rest of my life, and all I want for now is peace. ”

"Okay, I promise you."

"Gu Xiang is full of words, Xu Jing believes it."

"What about that thing?"

"In the secret room, if Gu Xiangruo believes Xu Jing, you can ask General Gu Xiao to accompany me to get it."

"I'll go with you, I don't believe it, what kind of waves can you make from under my hands." Gu Yunfei shook the dagger in his hand: "Go, where is the secret room?" ”

"The secret room, right at your feet, General Gu."

Gu Yunfei moved his feet, and Xu Jing opened the secret room in front of Gu Changfeng and Yan Suwen. In the secret room, there were boxes of things that were opened, and they were either gold, silver and jade, or celebrity calligraphy and paintings, some of which were priceless, and some of which were priceless.

"I know that even if Xiangye sends someone to protect it, I can't take all the things in this secret room with me. I only need two boxes of gold, and the rest will go to Xiangye. As for whether Xiang Ye will hand it over to the court or stay by himself, Xu Jing will not ask, let alone inquire. Tonight, what happened in the Xu family's old mansion, Xu Jing will never reveal half a word to the public. ”

"Tell me, what is that thing you're hiding?"

"A book."

"A book?"

"Yes, a book that records all the ore vein resources of my Great Wei." Xu Jing paused and continued: "This book was found in the tomb of a warlock in the previous dynasty. The person who wrote the book, I don't know what kind of psychology it is, writes the whole book obscurely, and hides the information of those veins in those seemingly disorganized and nonsense sentences. The gold mine was found according to the records of this book. Ever since my companions disappeared one after another, I knew that the secret of possession of the vein and possession of the book could not be kept. ”
