Chapter 100: Investigation and Killing (1)
By the time my grandson and I returned to Gongsun's mansion, it was already late at night.
However, we had just stepped into the main hall before we could sit down and rest, when two attendants hurried in and knelt in front of us.
"Doctor, the girl asked me to wait for the little guy in custody... He's dead! β
"What do you say! Didn't I let you watch it so much? Why did you let him die? β
I took a step forward in shock, you must know that that little guy is an important clue to investigate the mastermind behind today, how can he die like this?
The two attendants Xu Shi saw that my face was not good, and immediately fell to the ground and pleaded, "Girl, we really don't know what's going on, the girl was fine when we asked us to take him down, but when we took him to the back house, the person suddenly died." β
The grandson frowned, "Did you find out the cause of death?" β
Speaking of this, the faces of the two attendants were obviously panicked, and the appearance of the two attendants made the grandson aware of a hint of strangeness.
Then he said in a deep voice with some impatience, "Say, what's going on?" β
"This..."The attendant hesitated for a while, and finally presented a wooden box to Gongsun Zidu's hand with trepidation, and said with a very unnatural expression, "It's this thing that killed that little guy!" β
The grandson raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept over the two people in the hall with doubt, and he reached out to take the wooden box.
Just about to open...
"Doctor!" The two attendants suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the box, and then when they came into contact with the eyes of Gongsun Zidu, who were scattered with a thin cold meaning, their bodies stiffened and shrank back.
I had to say with a bitter face, "Doctor, you have to be careful, the little two are watching this strange thing in the box crawl out of the little guy's brain, it can really eat people!" β
"Hugh is talking nonsense!" The grandson scolded sharply, but there was a hint of curiosity in those inky eyes, and after a moment of silence, the slender fingers finally opened the clasp.
And inside the box were a few white worms, and the body was full of blood and piled up, as if they were grabbing something.
I felt sick in my stomach, but my grandson was stunned for a moment, then frowned and removed the tooth hairpin from the top of his head, and removed the worms.
Looking into the box again, the red to purple thing at the bottom almost didn't make me vomit on the spot, and the two little guys were also full of horror, only the grandson still looked calm.
"You say it crawled out of that little guy's head?"
The two attendants were busy with the grandson of the court, still looking shocked, "This thing is very strange, obviously that person was fine before he died, but I don't know why he died so suddenly, the body is also covered with this kind of maggots, and what is even more terrifying is that only two hours after his death, the body has been gnawed by those insects to the point that only the skeleton remains." β
"How come..."I only felt a stagnation in my chest, and an inexplicable sense of fear gradually surfaced in my heart, "Gongsun, who do you say is so vicious, not only to harm you but also their own people?" β
Gongsun Zidu's lips picked out a smile, looked at my panicked look, and finally closed the box in his hand, "I don't dare to pack a ticket for who the murderer is, but this thing is indeed not a maggot, but a kind of Gu poison." β
"Gu poison?"
"Hmm." The grandson nodded, sat down and raised his cup unhurriedly, and took a sip of tea.
I looked at him, and then remembered the contents of the box, and my throat was filled with uncomfortable feelings.
After a pause, I heard my grandson say again, "I remember that the Haiyan Gan clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty published a classic, which said that there are monsters in the box, if ghosts, their demon shapes change, and they are different species, or pigs and dogs, or insects and snakes, and their people know their shapes, and they often do it to the people, and they all die." β
"Miscellaneous species, whether they are pigs and dogs, or insects and snakes, often do to the people, and all of them die?" I muttered, feeling a chill down my spine for some reason.
Gong's grandson glanced at me and said casually, "Gu poison is like that, not only is there a wide variety, but as long as you don't die, you will end up with hemiplegia, like that little guy, I'm afraid that you will be hit by the most powerful moth Gu of the Dian people." β
"Dian tribe!" My heart was shocked, and my fingers subconsciously grasped the dress.
Seeing that I looked a little strange, my grandson asked, "What?" Do you know the Dian people? β
I nodded with difficulty, and immediately thought of the strange person I had seen in the Xianyu Palace, "Gongsun, do you still remember the people who chased and killed me in Zhuyuan?" β
The grandsons listened to my words, their faces turned slightly unnatural, and they nodded.
I continued, "I don't know exactly where I got to those people, so they want to kill me, but if my guess is correct, they are from the Dian tribe, and they still believe in witchcraft!" β
After listening to my words, Gongsun Zidu didn't seem to feel a trace of surprise, but slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, things are a little tricky." β
"How?" I wondered.
The grandson didn't raise his eyes, but raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Zheng Guo has a woman from the Dian tribe, she is not only in a high position, but also a person who believes in witchcraft in your mouth." β
"Who is it?"
Hearing my question, the grandson paused and looked at me and said, "This person is the king's most favored lady now, Ju Yu." β
"That's not what she thinks..."Before this sentence came out, the grandson's eyes suddenly froze.
I was stunned for a moment, and even though I understood that he was reminding me that this sentence could not be said any further, I was silent.
Only then did he sigh again, "If that's the case, then I know what's going on." β
The grandson waved his hand and retreated the two attendants.
When I turned to my confused face, I smiled helplessly, and raised my hand to scrape the tip of my nose, and teased, "If you stare at me like this, if others see it, they will think that your future husband has abused you!" β
"You're still in the mood for a joke!" I glanced at him and simply sat down at the desk.
My grandson also walked up to me and sat down, "But even if I know who is plotting against me, what's the use?" If you can't sue without evidence, wouldn't it be self-inflicted trouble to think about it any longer? β
"Heh..."I glanced at someone with a pleasant expression on his face at the moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, thinking that this guy dared to be affectionate, obviously someone wanted to hurt him, but he looked like he had a big intention of breaking the jar.
"However, I didn't dare to ask those two attendants just now, I'm afraid the Madame Juyu you said is not that simple, right? Otherwise, if she has no grievances with you, why would she harm you? β
"Why?" Gong's grandson sneered, "There are some things you don't know, but do you still remember, Zhao Yanyue has been here?" β
"Hmm!"
I nodded busily, and my grandson continued, "Mrs. Juyu is actually Zhao Yanyue's aunt. β
"So that's it, it's all Zhao Yanyue? In order to get revenge on you, she fornicated with Mrs. Juyu? β
"The little girl is very smart!" Gongzi all smiled ruffianly and raised his hand to hook my jaw, "But do you know that most of this is because of you!" β
"Because of me?"
The depths of the eyes of my grandson and grandson were gradually blurred, and a cold expression like a clear spring appeared in my eyes, which made my back unnaturally stiffen.
Seeing this, he deceived himself again, imprisoned me in his arm, and said in a quiet voice, "But it doesn't matter, no matter how those people frame, I will never let you leave me in this life." β
"You... Suddenly, what is this for? I stared at the face that was so close at hand, and I saw a smile on his thin pale pink lips.
And at this time we were so close that when he spoke, his lips were about to touch each other.
My heart pounded uncontrollably, pushing his hand to get up, "Gongsun, I see if you are tired today?" Why don't you go to rest early? β
"What are you nervous about?"
The grandson smiled stupidly, simply wrapped his arms around my waist, moved around a few times, and then gently laid me down on a mahogany chaise longue.
"I..."
I swallowed hard, and I didn't know where to put my eyes for fear of crashing into his eyes.
But my grandson has decided that I am shy, so how can I be let go so easily?
"Don't you want to know why I say it's mostly because of you?"
The grandson chuckled, his knuckled fingers gently brushed off my forehead, and exhaled in my ear, "If you want to know, I'll tell you now!" β
"No, no, no! Hehe! β
I had a bad feeling in my heart, and then I took advantage of the gap between his hand and my cheek, and rolled violently...
"Smack!"
Just when I thought I could escape the clutches, a punch suddenly fell to my ear.
He was holding my hand in my way?
I raised my eyebrows in disbelief.
Raising his eyes again, it was still the peerless face of his grandson with an elusive expression.
"Are you trying to escape?" He smiled bitterly, the curvature of his pale pink thin lips was very beautiful, "Just don't want to see me like this?" But didn't you keep saying that you wanted to marry me in the Yanxia Forest of Lingquan Temple that day? β
"How do you know?" Although this sentence was said in order to provoke Yin Linxi, I clearly remember that I only told him alone, how can my grandson also know? Could it be that our grandson knew all the things we had that day?
I felt a chill all over.
After listening to my words, the grandson's eyes darkened significantly, "Then why don't you do that, as long as you answer me a question, I'll let you go, how about it?" β
"What... What the? My eyes widened, and I was afraid that he would ask if I liked him or something.
provoked the grandson to smile bitterly on his lips, "You don't have to look at me like a frightened deer, do you?" I'm not going to eat you again. β
"Ahh
Overhead, my grandson said to me with a glittering gaze, "Sultan, have you..."
Really!
I skipped a beat in my heart, and my head was racing to think about how I could respond to his words without embarrassing myself.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the words, he suddenly shook his head again, his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of sadness, and he laughed at himself, "It's ridiculous, I wasn't such a layman before I met you!" How's that now..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to his forehead, his peerless face was full of remorse, "If only the person who knew you early was me!" β
I looked at him a little lonely, and my heart felt as if I had been tightened, and I felt a sudden pain.
However, I didn't know how to comfort him, so I had to look at him at a loss for a while... Then he struggled to sit up.
"Sultan..."
At this time, it happened that the grandsons were low.
So as soon as this one fell, the eyes of the two collided straight together.
The body is stiff.
For a long time, the starry eyes moved slightly, and then the thin lips fell down with a straight nose.
It was my grandson who dropped a kiss on my lips?
"Father-in-law and grandson!"
I hurriedly pushed him away, but I didn't expect that he lost his hairpin and was taken down by me, and it was scattered like a waterfall in an instant, adding a touch of seduction to the face below.
"Ahemβ" I coughed dryly and looked away, and before I could see the wound in his eyes, I reached out and grabbed a silk handkerchief from my bosom.
"Let's take a look at this first."
My grandson was stunned for a moment, and then looked at my hand.
"What is this?"
I spread out the silk handkerchief, and a black silver needle immediately appeared in front of me, "This is the silver needle of the poisonous horse, and it is the hand of the coachman." β
After listening to my words, the grandson stretched his eyebrows and raised again, and muttered, "If that's the case..."
The grandson of the male grandson was slightly confused, raised his hand and pinched the silver needle in my hand, "If that's the case, I want to see who wants to harm me!" β
"Hmm!"
I nodded heavily, but in my heart I was very meanly secretly glad that he hadn't done anything to me just now.
It's just that at that time, I didn't think carefully about what my grandson said.
What is it called... The reason why he became the target of the Witch cult is mostly because of me? What does that mean exactly?
