Chapter 292: Dragon Boat Racing

After all the rituals are completed, the dragon boat race will begin.

And now that the gongs and drums are noisy, it is time to start reciting the sacrificial text.

The crowd heard the sound, and the laughter stopped almost instantly.

It was clearly a scene of 10,000 people gathering, but the moment the gongs and drums stopped, all of them were quiet.

Everyone held their breath, not only the adults, but even the children stood up. Qi Qi looked at the old man who walked out of the crowd.

The old man was dressed in a wide robe with wide sleeves, and as he walked, his clothes fluttered like an immortal coming out of a painting.

The fairy wind bones seem to be able to ride the wind back.

Gu Jiu was instantly surprised when he saw that person.

This year's dragon boat festival actually invited Mrs. Zhou!

The Lin family naturally recognized Mrs. Zhou, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they saw this.

Although it is not that he has not invited official family members in previous years, he is as virtuous and respected as Mrs. Zhou. This is the first time this year.

I saw him calmly walk out of the crowd, slowly walked to the high platform, and first saluted between heaven and earth, before he read aloud: "The water of Miluo is surging." Hundreds of people fought hard to cross. The rice dumplings are fragrant and withdraw from the river, and the fish and shrimp eat and give you away--"

His voice is full of praise and admiration.

The doctor was unyielding, threw himself into the river, and defended the last dignity with his own body.

As he chanted loudly, the crowd was quiet at first, but later, they heard the low sobs one after another, and they were a little more sad and angry.

As a doctor, throughout his life, even if he is unyielding and arrogant, he is uneasy in the end.

After reading a sacrificial song, everyone listened to the response: "Sanjiang fish and shrimp, don't eat the bones of the doctor!" “

The rice dumplings that had been prepared earlier were scattered all over the river.

The sun is fine, the waves are sparkling, and when the zongzi enters the water, there will be bursts of water on the river.

Such a scenario. It's moving.

Gu Jiu stood and couldn't help but clench his hands, and even his breathing was lightened, for fear that his breathing would defile such a holy scene.

After the sacrifice was over, someone in the previously quiet crowd spoke intermittently.

The sturdy men who raced the dragon boat had long been ready to go, and just waited for the order from the starter, and rushed out like arrows from the string.

When everyone came back to their senses, they were attracted by this situation, and the sound of waving flags and shouts on the river was endless, and it was really loud in the sky.

The inside of the shed is also lively again.

Gu Jiu helped Lin and Liu to sit down, and while turning around and asking Xiao Er to add new tea, he could hear Lin and Liu talking when he turned around.

"I have rarely come out in these years, but I didn't know that this scene was so shocking."

Even though the Lin family has been in the capital all these years, the rules were strict when they didn't get married, but they were sick later, and it was easy to get to the present, and they actually watched the dragon boat race in a down-to-earth manner.

At this moment, there is no way to describe her shock, Lin took a deep breath, and only felt that his mind was full of the situation.

See her like this. Liu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic in his heart, because he softened his voice and said: "This dragon boat race is held every year, but this old gentleman invited this year is indeed extraordinary. “

Seeing that the two of them were a little depressed, Gu Jiu immediately smiled and echoed: "Mother, do you know who this old gentleman is?" “

Hearing this, Liu looked at her curiously and asked, "Do you know who he is?" “

Gu Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "This is the old lady of Zhou who was praised by the emperor as the pillar of the country, the Zhou family is full of loyal martyrs, the old lady has been for the country all his life, and his only son also died on the battlefield in his early years." Fortunately, there is still a lone seedling, which is Xiao Zhou, who is now in the Ministry of Industry. “

As soon as she said this, Liu knew his identity, but for no reason she remembered the rumors in the capital before, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the tanuki changed the prince's ...... But it's also the Zhou family? “

That's the terrible thing about rumors.

Let you be full of loyalty. But it can't withstand the influence of gossip.

And what can make everyone remember more is those gossip rumors.

Hearing Liu's words, Gu Jiu groaned for a while and told the Zhou family about it. At the end, he said: "Speaking of which, this is also a evil slave, and the Zhou family is still very dignified." “

Although...... When Mrs. Zhou dealt with it before, she was indeed a little confused.

After all, in some cases, the integrity of this thing cannot be offset by the actual benefits.

Liu only knew the rumors on the street, but he didn't know that the actual situation was like this, after listening to it. couldn't help but gasp, frowned, and said: "This evil slave is too terrifying, he has been in the mansion for so many years, but fortunately, Mrs. Xiao Zhou has a great life." “

Gu Jiu's heart is not fateful, otherwise how can he survive?

She just thought of this, but suddenly remembered something very serious, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Mother, our family has asked a doctor for consultation all these years." Have you ever invited a doctor named Li Yue? “

Hearing this, Liu Shi was stunned, and thought for a while before saying, "You suddenly told me this, I really can't tell you if there is one." “

Over the years, the family has also invited a lot of doctors, large and small, not only the usual family members to see a doctor, but Gu Nianlan alone, at that time, the doctors of Xichu who could invite all the doctors were invited by the Gu family.

At this time, Gu Jiu asked this, but Liu was a little confused for a while, she went through the names of the doctors in her mind, but most of them couldn't even remember their faces clearly because of the years, let alone the names.

Therefore, Liu Shifu asked again: "What's the matter, but what's the problem?" “

Gu Jiu thought about it, and because of the seriousness of the matter, he didn't hide it from her, frowned and said softly: "The poison on my mother-in-law's body, and the poison on Mrs. Xiao Zhou's body." It was all under the command of a doctor named Li Yue, and I suspect that the man is a habitual offender. Although we have a doctor in our family, we often ask outside doctors to come to the house, and I just remembered about it. I'm afraid that my family will also be tricked. “

Now the Lin family's poison is confirmed to be Qin Zhao's, but Zhou Yao's has not found the murderer, but it is estimated that it was also committed by the family.

Although the Gu family said that the house was harmonious, it was difficult to guarantee that Li Yue himself was not clean. What if you get dirty?

Gu Jiu hadn't thought about these things before, but it was only after hearing Liu's words that he broke out in a cold sweat in his heart.

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Liu was also taken aback. Subconsciously said: "This is indeed not a trivial matter, it doesn't matter, there are records kept at home over the years, and when I go back in the evening, I will let the steward check it." “

Now that she heard this, she felt a little worried in her heart. In case the family really invited this doctor, that person is a person who can poison, and whatever you add to the medicine is enough for people to bear.

Seeing that the Liu family was a little uneasy, Gu Jiu comforted him softly: "But you don't have to worry too much, our family is fine now, and we are probably safe, but I just tell you to take precautions." “

Hearing this, Liu nodded, in the end, he was a little unsure.

On the contrary, the Lin family on the side heard it and asked curiously: "Then isn't Li Yue locked up in a prison now, wouldn't it be good to interrogate?" “

Seeing her ask, Gu Jiu thought about it, but he didn't hide it from her, because he whispered: "He's dead." “

"Dead?"

Lin frowned slightly, recalled the verdict at that time, and asked hesitantly: "Didn't he be beheaded after the autumn, did I remember it wrong?" “

Seeing this, Gu Jiu coughed, this matter is not very good, so he simply lowered his voice and said, "Listen to my husband, it may be the uncle's hand." “

She said uncle, Lin didn't react for a while. When I saw her vague expression, I remembered that my ex-husband was now demoted to Mingyang Uncle by the emperor, isn't he an uncle!

Thinking of this, Lin Shifu sneered again and said, "He is a good means." “

Li Yue has now confessed, and he has been sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, what else is there to kill people?

Unless it's to protect his favorite.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jiu was a little unstable, because he comforted softly: "Don't take it to heart, that person is also a man who has done a lot of evil, and he is innocent of death." “

She comforted herself, but Lin smiled, patted her hand and said, "I'm not confused, I naturally know, don't worry, I don't care about them now." “
