"Third Miss, what are you talking about?, why can't the slave and maid understand?" Xiaolian barely pulled out a smile, and although she was slightly flustered in her heart, she still had the courage to look directly at Gu Qing.

"I know everything, Lian. With a gentle word, it set off a wave in the room, Gu Qing walked up to her, patted her shoulder, and looked at Old Man Du who closed his eyes tightly on the bed, "The so-called mastermind behind the abduction and trafficking case is Old Man Du." ”

The man who pretended to be unconscious on the bed swallowed in his throat, and was terrified by this.

"The reason why Old Man Du captured so many girls is because he wants to use the blood of his virgin to refine the elixir of life, he is afraid of his aging appearance, and hopes that he will be young forever and immortal. ”

Gu Qing was stunned, everyone in the room refused to believe it, even Gu Lin felt incredible, his face was full of suspicion, thinking that it was Gu Qing's prank, and called her in a low voice, not wanting her to talk nonsense in front of everyone.

Xiaolian also said: "Third Miss is really a wonderful idea, where is the elixir of life in the world?Do you believe in the elixir of life?" Gu Qing shook his head, and Xiaolian continued: "Even a person of Miss San's age doesn't believe that such a thing exists in the world, my old man has already seen through the red dust, how can he believe such folk rumors?"

"Qing'er, what are you talking nonsense?" Gu Lin didn't believe her remarks either, thinking that she was stimulated to say nonsense.

Only Murong was not manipulated by words, but only listened to her speech. Gu Qing felt as if he had become different, the sense of mystery between his eyebrows seemed to have disappeared, and his eyes that turned to look at her were a little soft.

Even if she was puzzled, she didn't have the heart to think of an answer at the moment, she just wanted to solve the problem in front of her. Ignoring her father's doubts and Xiaolian's quibbles, she walked under the bed and took out a wooden box, took out a book, turned two pages at random, and held it in her hand to show it to everyone.

This is the proof. Gu Qing's voice resounded throughout the room, Xiaolian's face turned a little pale, how could she forget about this?

"There are some strange spells and methods of refining the elixir, I think, everyone is very confused, why did the old man do this?" She paused slightly, turned her eyes to look at the edge of the bed, and her voice softened: "Old man Du has been busy all his life, desperately earning the rich family property of Du Mansion, and when he wanted to enjoy the blessings, he found that he was over half a hundred years old, and most of his life had gone. I guess the place where you don't need to have immortal medicine is not in Du Mansion at all, right? The old man is in the land business, and it is not difficult to get a place to put the refining tools at random, right?"

At the end of the paragraph, she threw the question to Xiaolian. I saw a hint of dodging in her eyes, her fingers were hidden in her sleeves for a long time and she didn't take them out, and she still said in her mouth: "Where did the third miss hear these words? Did the old lady tell you himself? Or does the third young lady have the ability to read through my old man's thoughts?"

Gu Qing didn't want to argue with her, because she felt that her experience was too sympathetic, and she had been coldly regarded and ridiculed since she was a child, which led to her dark personality now. However, after thinking about it, the same family, the personality and temper can not be changed.

"It's really the old man who told me personally!" Gu Qing suddenly said cheerfully, with a relaxed smile on her face, in the eyes of others, she seemed to be talking about family life, and she didn't have anything to do with the case at all.

Gu Lin wanted to say something to stop him, but was suffocated by Murong's eyes.

She playfully peeked at the old man who had fallen asleep, and knew in her heart that people who fell asleep would also swallow saliva?

turned to ask Xiaolian: "Although you are the aunt of the steward of Du Mansion, no matter how you say it, you are also a subordinate, what qualifications do you have to confront me in the case?"

The word "subordinate" is very unpleasant when I hear it in Xiaolian's ears. She spent nearly 20 years doing her filial piety beside the old man, doing what a child should do, but she never let him look at herself, the status of the maid has never changed, and the ridicule has never changed.

This is a thorn in her heart, and now that Gu Qing says it, she can't help but be a little angry.

"The slave is just following the words of the third lady. I heard that this case was not examined by Master Gu?" she was not to be outdone, and bluntly said that Gu Qing was not qualified to meddle in this matter at all, with a sharp tone in her words.

"It seems that Mu Mou is disturbing you, Wei Cai, let's go. ”

Without waiting for Gu Qing's answer, Murong had already spoken first, and deliberately knocked the basin on his body with affection, in order to support Gu Qing.

It's not fake, the scene is really boring, and he doesn't want to waste any more time. So he led Wei Cai to say goodbye to Gu Lin and then strode away.

Both sides are not pleased, and no one wants to help Xiaolian speak.

Gu Qing didn't want to talk to her in vain, so he threw the elixir book to Gu Lin, regardless of whether he could catch it or not, anyway, he believed in his ability.

Old Man Du probably didn't sleep well, his breathing was disordered, and his body writhed involuntarily several times, too, a lot of age, and there was always something wrong with his body.

"Hurry up, old man, you didn't faint at all, you just found a reason for yourself to escape. ”

The person on the bed didn't move, but within a few seconds, he really couldn't hold it anymore, opened his eyes, first rolled his eyes to look at the top of the bed, and then moved his gaze to everyone.

Gu Qingdao: "I'm afraid I've disappointed you, I haven't suffered yet, but you don't necessarily." ”

"Where's my medicine......?"

Spit out such a sentence for a long time, he needs more medicine to calm himself and calm his emotions. In his eyes is the fear and panic of the loss of life. The words were said to Xiaolian, but she didn't move, and she didn't rush to give him the medicine as before.

"My medicine, Xiaolian ......" Old Man Du lay on the bed, his tone was weak, and he shouted again.

Xiaolian had already given him one when she came into the room, and the amount of one medicine was too small, and it seemed that she couldn't control the condition.

Xiaolian still didn't move, and her eyes turned into deep despair. Yes, she suddenly despaired. His life ended before he could even begin, and the good years were spent in complaints and pain.

The person lying on the bed in front of him, there is nothing but life for himself, he is not a competent father at all, he is not worthy!

With trembling hands, he took out a medicine bottle in his arms, looked at it for a long time, and threw it out of the door with all his strength, only to hear the sound of the medicine bottle breaking, and the pills rolling all over the ground.

Thinking of the mother who was worse than dead in the cellar, the depression in my heart increased even more.

"Yes, you're right, he did it. Unable to spit out a word, Gu Qing was a little surprised, I don't know why she changed from being aggressive just now to now looking like she is resigned to her fate.

"You...... Are you alright?" she asked.

Xiaolian shook her head with a wry smile: "He caught the person, and he really wanted to refine that kind of thing, but he also went crazy and hurt my mother in a state of mental impermanence." ”

Gu Lin was dumbfounded, he never thought that there would be such a show.

"Am I an accomplice? Can I turn myself in?" she pulled the corner of Gu Qing's clothes, and suddenly raised her head and asked, her eyes full of uneasiness and panic. Gu Qing looked at Gu Lin at a loss, she was not an official, she had no right to speak, and then Xiaolian came to Gu Lin again, knelt on the ground, hid her face and cried: "Will I be beheaded?

Sensing that something was wrong with her, and the doctor who happened to treat Old Man Du did not leave, he gave Xiaolian a little more diagnosis, and saw that she was muttering in her mouth and didn't know what to say, and kept saying that she would not die, whether she would be gouged out of her eyes or something.

After the doctor's diagnosis, he said uncertainly: "Her pressure is too great, and she has oppressed her spirits, so she needs to be taken care of separately, and I can only give an answer after I have a detailed diagnosis." ”

Gu Qing sighed, the shadow of her childhood was too great, and it had been pressed in her heart, especially her mother, who was placed in the wine jar, was especially cruel, filling her entire childhood.

"Father, let's take Xiaolian down first, I'll tell you about her affairs slowly after she returns home, can you solve the case first?" I feel very sorry for Xiaolian, although she deliberately does not let her be punished, but the law is ruthless, the Son of Heaven must be guilty of the same crime as the common people, how can ordinary people escape? I can only think of ways to reduce some crimes.

Of course, Gu Lin had nothing to say, it was his daughter who made a contribution to the case, and she would agree to her plea.

was just curious about the reason, so he asked: "You tell me about Old Man Du's crime, let me judge first, and then explain the case to the emperor in the future." ”

All the words in the room just now, Old Man Du listened to them in his ears, and finally had the strength to summon the maid to support him, and he was facing Gu Lin and the others.

But he didn't want to accept his fate, he would definitely be arrested and put in prison, and what would happen to Dufu's family property when the time came?

No, he can't.

Suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were full of cruelty, his hands were clenched into fists and kept beating on the edge of the bed, and he roared sharply: "Do you want to force the old man to death?

His yelling did not exchange for his youth, not for his wife and daughter, and not for mountains of money.

However, there is a sentence from Gu Qing: "It is said that money is something outside the body, are you happy for your dirty selfish desires, which has led to today's situation?"

"When you were mad and irrational when you created your family business, you killed the people of your original wife, and it was in that situation that you were afraid to share your property with others, abandon your daughter, and let her be a little maid under you for the rest of your life. Those little concubines, even if they are pregnant, have been lost by you by means, right? On the other hand, they were afraid that they would not be able to inherit the family business in their old age, so they heard about folk witchcraft, hoping to borrow some elixir to make themselves live forever in the world. It's pathetic, do you think you can buy anything with money?"

Words and sentences, deep into the heart. When Gu Lin heard this, he was already dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that there was such a narrow-minded person in the world, so narrow-minded that people wanted to drown him with spit.
