Chapter 115: The Investigation of the Three Rooms
Collusion with the Demon Cultivator, what a big crime.
Especially now that it is still the node of the Seven Sects Discussion Society, even if the purpose of the gathering of the Seven Sects is not clearly stated, but the location of the Discussion Society is set in a view of freedom without any sense of existence, and the discerning person has long seen that it is to suppress the rampant demon cultivation in this part of Lingnan.
In addition, Gu Yunying was originally a disciple of the Heavenly Sect, if he really reported it to the top, maybe their Gu family would end up killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.
Therefore, the third lady who was pointed at her nose and scolded had an extremely ugly face, but she didn't dare to really annoy this Gu Wei, who was completely different from the past: "Do you have any evidence for catching people and stolen goods?" Don't forget, even if you don't like the Gu family anymore, you still come out of here, and if we are really slandered, your reputation will not be much better. ā
The third lady's words were both questioning and coercive, and she resolutely refused to admit that she had anything to do with demon cultivation.
Gu Yunying saw her refusing to admit it, and didn't care if she was lying, she walked up to the vigilant third lady, stepped forward slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Your son's accidental death, haven't you ever suspected it?" ā
After saying this, Gu Yunying raised her head, and sure enough, she saw the shocked expression on the third lady's face: "You, you mean ......?"
"Shh
Gu Yunying pressed her index finger against her lips and signaled her not to speak casually.
The third lady really closed her mouth obediently, and looked at her with both shock and anger, and a trace of panic gradually appeared on her face.
Gu Yunying pressed her shoulder, feeling the woman's trembling body under the palm of her hand, she smiled and ordered: "You are a family member, call all the people in the third room over, I will check them one by one." ā
"Okay." The third lady was silent for a long time, and then turned to order the powerful maids and grandmothers beside her.
The maid and grandmother who received the order were obviously stunned, and they all looked at Gu Yunying in surprise, but they didn't dare to ask more questions and went in all directions of the third room, making sure to find all the people.
Gu Yunying sat on the railing under the corridor, eating melons and fruits in a leisurely manner, but her eyes were back and forth between the subordinates and the Gu family who kept coming.
The evil ring in her hand rattled with her movements, but it was easily covered up in the noisy patio.
The subordinates stood at the back, hunched over and chested, trembling, looking dazed.
The children of the Gu family who were in the forefront heard some news, but they only regarded it as nonsense, and they all glared at Gu Yunying angrily.
Gu Yunying automatically blocked the eyes of these mortals, and swiped over the faces of those Gu family children one by one.
The Gu family is a very traditional family, Gu Qingjiang is also a person who attaches great importance to male superiority and inferiority of women, one wife and multiple concubines are the basic standard, in addition to the three ladies in the main room, and the aunt Liu Sisi, there are several concubines standing on the side, these women are sandwiched between the third lady and Liu Sisi all the year round, and they seem to be submissive and dare not make times.
Although there are many women, there are not many heirs, and the son only has one son-in-law and Gu An, but the sister-in-law died a few years ago, and the rest are all daughters.
The concubine Gu Lanlan happened to be one of the several descendants who were chased and killed by the demon cultivator before and crashed into the carriage of the Sword Sect, and the rest of the three women were huddled together, guarding against Gu Lanlan cautiously, and at the same time complaining about Gu Yunying, who had nothing to do.
Originally, everyone was a concubine who was not taken seriously, and it was even worse than them before, but now it has soared into the sky, and the villain is ambitious, showing off his might, and he really does not deserve to have the favor of others.
Gu Yunying was not stunned, continued to swallow melon seeds, and said, "The last one who looked at me like this has become a blind man." ā
With just this one sentence, all the eyes around her were all set aside.
Yes, Gu Lang was gouged out of his eyes, completely wasted, and now he is still lying on the bed with his life hanging by a thread.
Everyone waited under the sun for a long time, and those who did not cultivate were already so hot that they wiped their sweat, and the rest of the people who were a little cultivated were also pale, but they didn't dare to be too disobedient to Gu Yunying.
Gu Yunying hid under the porch to take advantage of the coolness, and ate plate after plate of melons and fruits, but he didn't speak.
Until Gu Qingjiang, who was belatedly at the gate, looked a little distorted, followed by the third lady with a frosty face, looking at this posture, it seemed that he was forced over by the third lady.
As soon as Gu Qingjiang saw Gu Yunying lying on the railing, his face became even more distorted, his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, it was as if his facial features were misplaced, he thought that this daughter would bring him blessings, but he only thought that it would bring all kinds of troubles, the two daughters of the eldest brother's family were abolished, and he was caught by the old grandmother and the eldest brother last night, and scolded him for teaching his daughter no way.
He felt that he was extremely wronged, teaching his daughter was a matter of a woman's family, what did it have to do with him, a big man.
Relying on his status as an elder in the end, he just stayed in the house and didn't come out, but the door was slammed open, and the hen in his house, who didn't lay eggs, let a few servants drag him by the arm.
It wasn't until he was close to the patio that he let him go for the sake of face.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingjiang pointed to Gu Yunying as the source of all this bad luck, and sure enough, he was born with a father and mother, and he was born against his bones.
"Do you still have a little decency, how can I say that it is also your father, how can you let your own father run to you, this day is often ......" He raised his hand and pointed at Gu Yunying and scolded, scolding so much that he was spitting, and the beard on his chin was also stained a lot.
Gu Yunying listened to these scolding contents, which were nothing more than heavenly and moral, swallowed a melon seed, and spit in the direction of Gu Qingjiang: "Phew! ā
Gu Qingjiang's face was blue and red with anger, and he pointed at her and trembled for a long time, but he was so angry that he shouldn't have scolded her.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Gu Yunying stood up, patted off the dust and fruit crumbs on her dress, and walked straight in front of Gu Lanlan.
"What do you want to do?" Gu Lanlan took a few steps back with some fear, but in order not to lose face, she still stiffened her neck and said angrily.
Gu Yunying waved his hand and asked with a smile: "Don't be like this, I don't doubt you, I just want to ask you a few questions, don't be nervous." ā
Gu Lanlan frowned, with a small face, she knew how bad the true character of the woman in front of her was, and she had bullied her before, so her heart was half afraid and half weak.
"I remember that you were out training before when you encountered a sneak attack by a demon cultivator, and you were chased before you ran into my carriage, right?" Gu Yunying asked.
Gu Lanlan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that she would ask this question as soon as she opened her mouth, but fortunately, she reported to her family several times when she came back, and now she can recite it backwards without thinking about it with her eyes closed.
So, she recounted the whole story again.
Including the fact that they received news from the family to let them come back, and then suddenly encountered an attack by a demon cultivator on the road, and in a panic, they bumped into the carriage of the Sword Sect, which was regarded as the last straw to save their lives, but they did not expect that when they approached the carriage of the Sword Sect, the demon cultivator really stopped.
"No, no, no, that's more than that." Gu Yunying interrupted her words and circled around Gu Lanlan, "Then why did the demon cultivator attack you?" Was it a coincidence or did you run into the Sword Sect's carriage while you were running for your life? ā
"Also, you've all seen that Demon Xiu stop, why did you still hurt my senior brother's Flame Horse?"
Gu Lanlan was stumped by these three sudden questions, she only needed to repeat these situations before, but now that she thinks about it, there are really a lot of problems.
Just when Gu Lanlan was deep in thought, Gu Yunying walked towards the group of people who were talking about it again, stood in front of them, and asked, "Among you, the people who have served Gu Lanlan's brother are all out of the ranks!" ā
Gu Lanlan's brother?
Isn't that the young master of the third room who died unexpectedly three years ago?
For a while, all the subordinates stopped talking, they all looked at me, I looked at you, you instigated me, I pleaded with you, but no one dared to really step forward.
Gu Yunying had already guessed such a situation, she turned her head to look at the third lady: "Third lady, you should have an impression of the person who has served your son, right?" ā
The third lady's face was tense, the same as Gu Lanlan's appearance, but it looked even more vicissitudes, her eyebrows and eyes had a kind of anger that could not be dispersed, and she pointed out the people who appeared next to her son one by one.
Those who were pointed all knelt down, and those who were not pointed out were also relieved.
Gu Yunying looked at the dozen or so kneeling subordinates neatly, bent down slightly, and smiled innocently: "Don't be nervous, I'm not the kind of person who refers to a deer as a horse and reverses black and white, I only ask you one question." ā
"Do you think the young master's death was an accident?"
"There is no reward for answering correctly, but if you answer incorrectly, then you will be punished for lying."
Gu Yunying straightened her waist again, and sure enough, she saw the third lady's increasingly cold eyes, she beckoned, and said, "Third lady, order a stick of incense, give them some time to think about it, if you answer wrong, I think you have more means to punish your subordinates than me." ā
The third lady took several deep breaths before her reddened eyes withdrew her tears, and told the maids to do as she pleased.
"What's going on? Is there something else going on in my son's death? Gu Qingjiang was reminiscent, and wanted to drag Gu Yunying to ask for an accurate answer.
No matter how confused he is, no matter how much he doesn't care about his daughter, his son is a piece of meat in his heart, and he doesn't have many heirs, and he sees it more important than his eyes.
After the death of his sister-in-law, he put all his love on Gu An.
This also led to Gu An's young master's temper, as well as the situation of Liu Sisi walking sideways in the third room, but now that Gu An is missing, it has made him anxious, if he finds out that his sister-in-law was killed by others, Gu Qingjiang feels that he will really go crazy.
Gu Yunying dodged the emotional Gu Qingjiang's pull, and she took the little incense from the maid's hand.
"You're all optimistic, I'll give you an hour of incense."
The subordinates looked at each other, and no one dared to really answer, or really suspect, and only wanted to turn the big thing into a small thing, and the small thing into a small thing, so a group of people kowtowed vigorously, indicating that they didn't know at all.
Gu Yunying can also understand the wisdom of these subordinates, but what she needs is not these.
"It seems that the time of a stick of incense is still too long for you."
So in front of everyone, Gu Yunying put the stick of incense in front of him, and then blew it vigorously!
Dumbfounded: "!! ā
"The time is coming, you guys hurry up and think clearly, don't wait for the obsolete time!"
The little fragrance in Gu Yunying's hand was thin and short, and she was standing on the tuyere, blowing a few times so hard, burning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Feeling the burning speed of this incense sticking faster, those subordinates also had a heavier sense of oppression, as if their lives were linked to this incense, especially the cold gaze of the masters on the side, if this thing was not clean, it probably would not be better for the rest of their lives.
The subordinates swallowed their saliva, the atmosphere gradually solidified, and the tension continued to spread, and the subordinates would talk to each other at first, but now no one dared to speak.
"IāI say!"
Suddenly, a young man jumped out of the crowd.
