On the way home, Gongsun Shengyan didn't feel like he was riding a horse, more like a fish swimming happily in the water, he didn't bother to look at the scene around him at all, his mind was full of Zhou Xue's blushing face, and her ears were also the sound of her humming back and forth. With a great sense of happiness and novelty, he arrived home groggily. As soon as he got off the horse, he saw the men outside the gate turn around and run towards the courtyard.

"Hell, running so fast. Gongsun Shengyan thought to himself, handed the reins to another subordinate, and stepped into the courtyard.

After walking not far, two burly Jiading came over, Gongsun Shengqiu followed behind the two Jiading, Gongsun Shengyan just nodded to greet his cousin, Jiading coldly grabbed his two arms, and then heard Gongsun Shengqiu shouting frantically: "Tie him up for me!"

"Brother Shengqiu, what do you mean by this?" Gongsun Shengyan was confused.

"What do you mean, I'm going to let you, an unfilial descendant, know what retribution is today!" Gongsun Shengqiu rushed up and gave him a resounding slap in the face, "Tie it up and pull it to the backyard." ”

"Young Master Shengyan, I'm offended. The family said something, tied Gongsun Shengyan three times by two, and dragged them to the backyard together.

The backyard was brightly lit, and the men of the family were all present, and they sat in a half-circle, both looking sad and angry, and in the middle of the half-circle were two corpses side by side, covered with white cloths. Gongsun Shengyan was escorted by the family and walked directly to the corpse.

"Kneel!" Gongsun Shengqiu shouted at Gongsun Shengyan.

Gongsun Shengyan didn't kneel with his neck stiffened, he still hasn't figured out what is going on, who are these two corpses, why are the family members with such expressions, and what is the reason why Gongsun Shengqiu led people to tie himself up. His mind was full of questions, but not a single one was answered for the time being.

Gongsun Shengqiu saw that he didn't kneel, and made a look at Jiading, who understood, pressed Gongsun Shengyan's neck, and kicked him behind his knees, Gongsun Shengyan couldn't bear it, stood unsteadily, and had to pounce and kneel in front of the corpse.

"Second grandfather, our murderer Gongsun Shengyan has already captured you, and if you have a spirit in the sky, you can also turn a blind eye. Gongsun Shengqiu cried and bowed down next to Gongsun Guangxiao's body.

"What are you talking about?" Gongsun Shengyan asked after listening to Gongsun Shengqiu's words, his two eyes were almost bursting out, and he stared at him without turning his bloodshots.

"Why did you kill the second grandfather, say!" Gongsun Shengqiu stood up, grabbed Gongsun Shengyan's hair with one hand, lifted his head like this, and with the other hand, he used ten great force, and slapped him in the face without saying anything. Gongsun Shengyan was beaten directly and staggered, falling to the side, his face swollen up, and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

How did Gongsun Shengyan know that Gongsun Shengqiu took advantage of his absence in the early morning to stuff the bodies of Gongsun Guangxiao and Yusheng under his bed, and then not long after dawn, he deliberately went to Gongsun Guangxiao's room, pretending to have something, and let everyone know the news that Gongsun Guangxiao was missing. The person sent to the old lady's grave to find it came back to report that Gongsun Guangxiao was not found, so Gongsun Shengqiu sent out several subordinates, respectively, to Gongsun Guangxiao is most accustomed to going to several places to find, after the scene is done, Gongsun Shengqiu excused himself that he had not seen Gongsun Shengyan for a day, and asked his subordinates to accompany him to Gongsun Shengyan's room to find him, and then pretended to smell in the room for a while, saying that the smell was wrong, and finally pretended to be shocked and pulled out the bodies of the two from under the bed with the subordinates. Calculating the time, Gongsun Shengyan had just come out of Mr. Zhou's room at that time.

"I didn't kill my uncle!" Gongsun Shengyan defended loudly.

"Then why is the corpse under your bed?" Gongsun Guangshun stood up at this time, pointing to his nephew and asked.

"Dad, I didn't kill my uncle and grandfather, I really didn't!" Gongsun Shengyan looked at his father, Gongsun Maode, and shouted heartbreakingly.

Gongsun Maode sat still with tears in his eyes, he couldn't speak at this time, the only thing he could do was to hope that his son was not a murderer, if the misfortune was true, he could only beg Gongsun Guangshun and Gongsun Shengqiu not to report to the official.

"My second brother was not in the room early in the morning, Katsuyan, the janitor said that you came back in the early morning. At that time, everyone was asleep, tell me the truth, what did you do?" Gongsun Guangshun asked in an interrogative tone.

"I slept, I really slept. Gongsun Shengyan roared.

"Who can prove it?" shouted Gongsun Shengqiu as he walked over and pointed to his nose.

“......”

Indeed, no one can prove that if Gongsun Shengyan came back to talk to Gongsun Guangxiao, and as a result, because of a dispute, he killed Gongsun Guangxiao, and unfortunately because Yusheng saw it and took Yusheng's life, this reasoning is logically reasonable.

"Let's lock it up first. Gongsun Shengqiu pretended to be distressed and waved his hand at the two family members holding Gongsun Shengyan and motioned to pull him down.

"Dad, Grandpa, Daddy......" Gongsun Shengyan cried out in a lost soul, his voice getting farther and farther away.

"Shengyan ......" Gongsun Shenghua didn't believe that Gongsun Shengyan was a murderer, and looked at the direction where he was dragged away and cried loudly.

"Shengqiu, ah......" Seeing his son being taken away, Gongsun Maode couldn't sit still anymore, and walked over tremblingly, wanting to say a few words for his son, but as soon as he opened his mouth to shout a name, tears fell in strings, "Shengqiu, you are cousins, you are related by blood, uncle implores you for one thing, you must check it out before making a decision." ”

"Uncle, the matter has come to this, we can only lock up Shengyan first," he pointed to the corpse on the ground, "No matter what, I want to avenge this for the second grandfather, whether Shengyan did it or not." After speaking, he beckoned and called a few subordinates to temporarily prepare for the funeral of Gongsun Guangxiao.

It is said that happiness and misfortune are not a single line, and the Gongsun family has experienced such painful blows one after another, everyone is like a frosted eggplant, and their faces are gloomy. Gongsun Shengqiu sat alone in the room, without lighting the lamp, like a sculpture in the dark, motionless. The sound of people outside the house gradually quieted down, only the insects could be heard chirping, Gongsun Shengqiu walked to the side of the bed and looked up at the moon, and continued to sit back, about an hour later, finally got up again, took a bottle of wine from the table in the outhouse, opened it and poured some on his shirt and neckline, and wiped some wine on his head, and then rinsed his mouth with wine and wiped his neck, then took the wine bottle that was almost bottoming out, mixed some water into it, and walked to Gongsun Shenghua's room step by step.

"Shenghua!" Gongsun Shengqiu slammed the door hard.

"Brother Shengqiu, what's the matter?" Gongsun Shenghua didn't seem to be asleep yet, and opened the door as soon as he kicked his shoes.

"It's okay, I'm bored, I want to talk to you. Gongsun Shengqiu pretended to be a little drunk.

"Oh. "Gongsun Shenghua seems to be in a very bad mood, and he must have lost sleep because of these things.

"Hi ......" Gongsun Shengqiu closed the door, sat on the stool, and let out a long sigh.

The two brothers sat silently at each other, just consumed.

"I don't have much wine, do you have anything else, come have a drink with me." Gongsun Shengqiu shook his wine bottle.

Gongsun Shenghua got up and took two cups and a bottle of wine, poured out a glass first, and then when he was about to pour it, Gongsun Shengqiu stopped him with his hand, meaning to drink the wine he brought, he didn't mind, watching Gongsun Shengqiu fill the cup with water, and then the two of them picked up the cup and touched it, and drank it all. After drinking two or three cups, the conversation box of the two brothers opened, but no matter what Gongsun Shenghua said, Gongsun Shengqiu guided the topic to everyone wearing open crotch pants when they were young.

"Brother, did you say he did it?" Gongsun Shenghua wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked as he stared at the Falcon on the side of the wall.

"I ...... I really hope ...... He didn't do it. Gongsun Shengqiu began to pretend to be drunk, burping with his head down, and pointing his hand at the sky.

"There's no reason for him to do that. Gongsun Shenghua said word by word.

"Grandpa Guangshun...... Grandpa is going to send him to see the official tomorrow, and he has met the official...... It has nothing to do with us, life and death...... Life and death are up to heaven. Gongsun Shengqiu began to shake the plan out slowly, but in fact, Gongsun Guangshun didn't mention the matter of seeing the official at all.

"I can't see the official!" Gongsun Shenghua slammed the table hard with the strength of the wine, "This is a family matter." ”

"It's dead...... Shenghua, two lives...... How can I do it if I don't see the official. Seeing an official is a beating, and many people ...... I can't eat the board, and I will make a move. Gongsun Shengqiu didn't look at his cousin either, but just carefully distinguished his tone with his ears.

"That's the end of Katsuyan. ”

"Unless...... Unless he escapes......" Gongsun Shengqiu said this, his head fell heavily on the table, and his hand drooped, and by the way, he broke the wine bottle he brought.

"Brother Shengqiu, Brother Shengqiu. Gongsun Shenghua shook Gongsun Shengqiu, but Gongsun Shengqiu did not react, like a wild dog that had been knocked unconscious.

Gongsun Shenghua beckoned his subordinates to carry Gongsun Shengqiu back, and paced back and forth in the room by himself. Gongsun Shengqiu's last words made him fall into a huge contradiction. Logically speaking, he didn't want to believe that Gongsun Shengyan was the murderer, but logically, Gongsun Shengyan had the biggest suspicion. Even his family didn't trust him, if he met with the official, what would happen to the official's family, he really wanted to call first and then try again, as he just said, he didn't dare to think about it again. On weekdays, Gongsun Shenghua's life is only birds and women, but this does not show how bad a person he is, on the contrary, he is unwilling to think about many things, he is too lazy to think about them, and it is his favorite thing to seize the time to have fun. In his heart, he cherishes his family very much, and under the protection of his family, he was able to do something that seemed out of the ordinary without being held accountable. Brother Shengqiu can see that he is also very reluctant, after all, they are all cousins, even if he doesn't believe that Gongsun Shengyan is the murderer, for the interests of the family, he has to send Gongsun Shengyan to the government.

Gongsun Shenghua sat back at the table and poured himself another glass of wine. Although Gongsun Guangxiao is his own grandfather, he has always treated their brothers with a bowl of water, and he has never been partial because he is his own grandson, and even in harmless matters, he is more willing to joke with the two brothers Shengqiu and Shengyan. "Katsu Yan has no reason to kill my grandfather. He said to himself a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart, but he couldn't get around the bend of reporting to the official. The pain that Gongsun Shengqiu showed in front of him just now slashed at his heart like a steel knife, making him feel as if he would lose this cousin who had been playing since he was a child tomorrow. Gongsun Shenghua picked up the wine in front of him and drank it with his head up, threw the wine glass against the corner of the wall, and went out against the night.
