Gongsun Shengqiu came out of the old lady's room, and he was unhappy in his heart. In fact, when it comes to Zhou Xue, he doesn't like it so much, he has seen a lot of women in this world, and even secretly had a bed with two coquettish women when he was helping to do some money business. Gongsun Shengqiu values the Zhou family behind Zhou Xue more, with the ability and connections of the Zhou family, as well as the women surnamed Zhou who married into the Gongsun family, if they can marry Zhou Xue, the position of the young head of the Gongsun family should be to catch snails in the crockpot - a matter of nine out of ten. The young head of the family is something he thinks about for a long time, far better than the temptation between men and women, he realized from his grandfather Gongsun Guangshun and his second grandfather Gongsun Guangxiao that the status gap between the family and the head of the family is simply the difference between cloud and mud. But he can also feel Zhou Xue's attitude towards himself, the last time the old lady celebrated his birthday, he and Gongsun Shengyan and Gongsun Guangxiao sent Mr. Zhou's father and daughter out together, and deliberately wrapped the noodles that Yusheng bought back the day before in a brocade box, wanting to please Zhou Xue in front of everyone, and secondly, let everyone see the affection he revealed. But she Zhou Xue didn't appreciate it at all, and turned around and got into the sedan chair after saying no, so that she touched the dust of her nose. But before entering the sedan chair, Zhou Xue gave Gongsun Shengyan a look, and he was firmly in his eyes.

"Gongsun Shengyan," he thought silently in his heart, "although you and I are cousins, since you are in my way, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust." ”

Thinking of this, Gongsun Shengqiu shouted twice outside the door: "Yusheng, Yusheng......"

"Young Master Shengqiu, what do you command?" Yusheng pushed the door in, still with a flattering smile.

"The silver ticket you stuffed under the bed in Xiuchun Building last time, are you sure it's stuffed?"

"Absolutely stuffed, Master Katsuka, I swear to God. After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he pointed to the sky.

"Okay, do you know where Gongsun Shengyan has been in the past two days?"

"It seems that I went to get the silk village burned, and I heard from his entourage that he went out early the morning before yesterday and didn't come back for the past two days. ”

"Okay, it's okay for you, you should rest early. Gongsun Shengqiu waved his hand at Yusheng and motioned for him to go out.

Yusheng closed the door from the outside and went back to his room to rest. Gongsun Shengqiu sat and was stunned for a while, this orange peel face Xu Lao Liu, whether the cultivator invited worked or not, after a few days, I didn't see anything wrong with Gongsun Shengyan, it stands to reason that if that cultivator did it, Gongsun Shengyan should have hysteria at this time. Although he said that he didn't know much about cultivators, he had heard people who had Taoist skills and had heard about the things that were used to mess with people's souls. According to the virtue of Gongsun Shenghua, who is now a gentleman, and the Gongsun Shenglin who can't carry it and wilts when he sees people talking, although it seems that the loss of one or two silk villages has not affected Gongsun Shengyan's status, but if he has hysteria, this is not only a hidden danger to his personal health, but a hidden danger to the future of the entire Gongsun family.

"Let's wait two more days. He said to himself in his heart, then changed his clothes and went to bed.

When Gongsun Shengqiu went to sleep with the lights out, a dark figure slowly rose from the roof of his house, this shadow was of medium stature, as if he was wearing a wide robe. After Gongsun Shengqiu came out of the old lady's room, the shadow followed him, and then through his conversation with Yusheng, he unexpectedly found that it was actually Gongsun Shengqiu he was looking for. This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. The shadow jumped from the roof to the wall of the compound, and then quietly moved towards the old lady's courtyard, and took a closer look through the moonlight to see who it was not the robe stranger.

Gongsun Shengyan has been with Wang Zhutou for the past few days.

According to Wang Zhutou's conjecture, the burning of the silk village itself seems strange, and on the first day of searching for the oil oil, he found the oil that was dumped in the abandoned house with the intention of destroying the physical evidence, and he felt that it seemed to involve an unusual relationship. Out of prudence, after he formulated an investigation plan, he specifically instructed the client, Gongsun Shengyan, not to mention the progress of the case to anyone, including Gongsun Guangxiao. Wei Zhukuai also made a breakthrough over there, and after their squatting, they found that there were two sloppy-looking and obscene guys, who actually didn't do anything, and woke up every day to eat and drink with big fish, meat, wine, and food, and pay the bill directly after eating, without even looking at the bill, like a young master and a son.

The money of these two people must not have been earned by themselves, and a discerning person can know it at a glance. Wang Zhutou decided to put a long line to catch a big fish, and let the brothers continue to watch in shifts for two days, only to find that the two of them really ate and slept like pigs, and the tall one occasionally went out once or twice a little farther away, and also pushed Pai Gow and came back. In desperation, he had to call Gongsun Shengyan over, and after dressing up, he followed the brothers for a day, and looked at the two thieves, but Gongsun Shengyan also said that he didn't know these two people.

Now that there is no evidence and no physical evidence, if these two people are arrested and tortured, they may be able to ask about the ugly people, but they are afraid that their superiors will run away when they hear the news and run away. What's worse is that these two people will not let go when they are killed, not because they are worried that they will be strong-willed, but because they are afraid that their upper family will be more frightening than the official family, and the people who dare to burn the Gongsun family's silk village must not be ordinary people. Wang Zhutou and Wei Zhukuai and Gongsun Shengyan discussed it, and decided to withdraw the fire oil search in the whole city, one of the Taoists who was arrested before could not stand the coercion and intimidation, but also confessed a few dirty things of stealing chickens and dogs, so he simply took him first, and announced to the public that the major suspect had been arrested, leaving only the eyeliner that Xu Laoliu and Xu Laoba were watching.

After arranging the following progress, Gongsun Shengyan returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he heard that the old lady was seriously ill, so anxious that he was so anxious that he came to the old lady's residence in a hurry, and when he pushed the door in, he found that the elders of the family were gathered in front of the hospital bed, and Dr. Huo was sitting near the old lady's head, with a solemn face.

"Guangxiao," Doctor Huo got up and patted Gongsun Guangxiao's shoulder, and then shook his head, "Do you want to think about it carefully, the old lady is very well maintained on weekdays, let's wait, he still has a glimmer of hope to wake up, if I have to wake him up with a silver needle, then no matter whether he can wake up or not, how long he will wake up, it will cause irreparable damage to him because of too strong stimulation." ”

"Doctor Huo, this is a decision made by our brothers and sisters together, and we won't change it, so I invited you again in the middle of the night, you just let it go, what is the result, our brothers and sisters have recognized it. Besides, the old lady does have a wish that has not been fulfilled, and our children and grandchildren must also confirm something with him. Gongsun Guangxiao's tone was resolute.

"Good. Dr. Huo didn't say much, and glanced at the old lady on the hospital bed, in fact, the old lady was already out of breath and less in and in, the so-called being able to wake up by himself, everyone understood in their hearts that it was nothing more than a kind of sustenance.

Dr. Huo took out the silver needle from the medicine box, wiped it carefully with folded white silk, then stretched out his right hand, pinched the silver needle with the finger belly of the finger, and pierced four needles on the top of the old woman's head and the tiger's mouth, then took a slender silver needle that was twice as long as the usual silver needle, and took a slight aim and pierced it straight at the base of the tongue.

"Ah......h

"If you have something to say, ask quickly, don't delay. I waited outside the door. After Dr. Huo finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, and the young man followed with the medicine box on his back.

This is not the time to say thanks, Gongsun Guangxiao didn't have time to wait for Dr. Huo to close the door from the outside, so he hurriedly said to the old lady: "Dad, can you hear me?"

The old lady and grandson Yu spit out two words with difficulty: "Yes." ”

The people present were all sad when they heard this, originally his life was like a candle in the wind, fluttering and about to be extinguished, after this stimulation, how difficult it was to say these two words.

"Dad, the matter of the young family master, now that our brothers and sisters are here, I want you to make a decision. Gongsun Guangxiao didn't talk nonsense, and directly said the purpose. This is a race against time, and no one knows how long the old lady will last.

The old lady rolled her eyes hard and looked at the people around her, in addition to her son's, Gongsun Shengyan was actually present. He waved his hand at Gongsun Shengyan and said, "Shengyan, you go out first." ”

Gongsun Shengyan knew that the stakes were high, and he immediately went out after listening to the old lady's words. The old lady took a few breaths and said in a weak voice: "Candidate for the young family master, I don't say that you also have a direction in your heart, I will only say one thing," he paused, "As soon as possible." I agree with you in what you choose, but since this matter has been raised, it must be as soon as possible, so as not to be estranged by brothers. ”

"I see, Dad. Gongsun Guangxiao was about to cry, "I want to choose one between Katsuqiu and Katsuyan." ”

"Yes, both children are fine. Life and death are fateful, and they should be treated indifferently. I'm over 90 years old...... cough, cough, naturally ......" The old lady began to pant violently when she said this, her chest kept rising and falling, and the children around her kept screaming "Daddy, Daddy", and the women had begun to panic. The old lady gasped seven or eight times, and suddenly he didn't lift his breath, his head was lifted up, and then he fell down hard and fell to the side.

"Daddy......" everyone shouted in unison, and then began to cry loudly.

From top to bottom of the Gongsun family, all relatives and family members are dressed in vegetarian clothes. The old lady died in the early morning, and the crane traveled westward, which made this big family fall into great sorrow from the carnival half a month ago. The monk had already begun to enter the practice, and the old lady's courtyard was filled with the sound of chanting, low and thick, accompanied by the sound of knocking wooden fish, all escorting the old lady. The paper people and paper horses are also tied up one after another, and the white gifts given by relatives and friends who came to mourn are about to burst the whole yard.

The whole day passed in such a chaotic atmosphere, and at night the filial son and filial grandson had to guard the spirit, Gongsun Shengqiu was wearing a filial piety suit, with a filial piety belt tied on his head, and knelt in front of the coffin for more than an hour, feeling dizzy and numb in his legs, and his waist was about to be his own. He looked up and saw that no one else was much better than him. couldn't hold on anymore, Gongsun Shengqiu motioned to his subordinates to help him up, excused himself to go to Xiaojie, went back to his room and lay down in his clothes, and then sent his subordinates away. He had just been a little dazed when he heard the door knock, the oil lamp still on, and by the dim light he saw a wide figure come in sideways, and then turned and closed the door, and dropped the latch.
