Text Chapter 166: The Second Uninvited Guest
Everyone knows that he is a gentleman, a scourge of Kyoto, and a pest......
But all the children of the family with a good reputation disdain to be with him, let alone encounter such a situation, not all of them are afraid of dirty water and avoid it.
But Ye Ling is here......
Gu Jinyan's heart was slightly warm, his nose was a little sour, and when he heard the news of the third uncle's death, he couldn't hold back and didn't cry, lest he be looked at by those who were ready to see his jokes, but now when he saw Ling Tiansu who was wet, he almost couldn't help it.
He pretended to smile reluctantly, and said: "I have something to reassure you, I'm not good, it's my third uncle who has an accident......
Gu Jinyan's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end, he looked down at the body covered by the white cloth, and his expression was a little sad.
The second master Gu Siming's eyes kept wandering over the two of them, and said coldly: "Your Royal Highness, my third brother died, and the body was found not long ago, and I didn't have time to buy a coffin, so I have no plans to welcome guests to incense for the time being, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to go back to the house first, if the prince really has a heart, you might as well wait for some time." ”
This sentence contains another meaning, the news of Gu Heyan's death was only discovered early this morning, and it was just after noon, and the prince of the world rushed over in a hurry, if you say that you have no other thoughts, hum, who will believe it.
Gu Jinyan directly ignored his second uncle, walked down slowly from the high platform, and said to Ling Tiansu: "There are too many idlers here, let's take a step to talk." ”
Gu Siming's face suddenly became gloomy, an idler?
Next, Gu Jinyan led Ling Tiansu towards the hall of the Chamber of Commerce. This made him frown, and this kid became more and more unruly.
Walking to a no-man's land, Gu Jinyan looked back at Ling Tiansu and said, "Brother Ling, why are you here." ”
Ling Tiansu coughed lightly and said, "I received news this morning, I heard that Steward Gu died mysteriously, and Gu Shao, you are on duty in the Hengyuan Chamber of Commerce during this time, and I am a little worried that you will be overwhelmed, so take a look." ”
Gu Jinyan's heart warmed slightly, he clenched his fist and punched him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then you can't even use an umbrella, look at you, you are all drenched in soup, where is there still a bit of a world." ”
Ling Tiansu took this punch firmly, and said solemnly: "Gu Shao, I want to ask, at that time, when Steward Gu died, did he find anything unusual around, and what was the cause of his death, can you tell him one by one?"
Gu Jinyan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Are you interested in my third uncle's murder?"
Ling Tiansu didn't want to hide it from him, nodded and said, "Yes, I want to find out who the murderer is, as for why, I'm sorry, I can't tell Gu Shao about you, and I also ask Gu Shao to help me hide it." ”
Gu Jinyan was slightly stunned, a little surprised by his honesty, and then said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
He also didn't ask Ling Tiansu why he was so eager to find out the reason for the murderer.
Ling Tiansu continued: "Steward Gu has just passed away, and the group of people in my hall seem to be not of the same mind as Gu Shao, presumably Gu Shao will be very hard in the next period, and he has to deal with Steward Gu's posthumous affairs and find out the murderer, so it is better for me to do my part, anyway, we all want to find out who the murderer is." At least...... I am more reliable than the clansmen in the hall who have the same surname as Gu Shao. ”
Gu Jinyan stared at Ling Tiansu with burning eyes, and said, "Okay, since we are friends, we might as well cooperate like this." ”
Next, Gu Jinyan described Gu Heyan's death and what happened.
Gu Heyan spent the whole night at the Hengyuan Chamber of Commerce sorting out the account books and projects last night, and did not return home.
There is also a caretaker outside the account room, protecting his safety.
But the night passed, there was no sound of fighting in the room, and the next morning, when the next person went to deliver food, he found Gu Heyan, who was as stiff as a corpse falling to the ground, and the cause of death was just like the death of He Xiutu, the sect leader of the Sect of Destruction, his skin was abnormally blue, and all his vitality was plundered, but there was no trace of external injuries on his body, only a little red on his eyebrows.
All this happened silently......
The more Ling Tiansu listened, his face became heavier and heavier.
Such a strange method, even an ordinary Tongyuan powerhouse may not be able to do it, not to mention that a strong person who has cultivated to the peak of Tongyuan will put down his body and kill such a weak middle-aged man.
Even if the Tongyuan powerhouse can shake people's internal organs to shreds through their clothes and flesh, then there should be flesh and blood residues left in their bodies, how can it be as if they disappeared out of thin air, and their bodies are still glowing with strange iron blue.
Ling Tiansu made another rude request, "Can I see Steward Gu's body?"
Gu Jinyan frowned deeply, a little reluctant.
After all, the deceased is gone, and it may not be good to be disturbed by others again.
Ling Tiansu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll just take a look, and I will definitely not do anything disrespectful to Steward Gu's body." ”
Gu Jinyan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, but the group of people outside is very difficult, if they know about it, they will definitely obstruct it, so let's do it, tonight, you come to me at the back door of my Gu Mansion, knock on the left door three times, knock on the right door, and someone will come to inform me, and at that time, I will come with you to see the body of the third uncle." ”
The back door of Gu's mansion was specially customized by Gu Jinyan, but the sound of the left door and the right door knocking was different, which made it even more convenient for him to sneak out in the middle of the night to drink flower wine with those fox friends when his sister restricted his freedom.
Ling Tiansu smiled, naturally knowing what the original purpose of his little methods was, and nodded.
Gu Jinyan said: "Okay, I have a lot of things to do, you go back and change your clothes first, and then come to me at night." ”
The two discussed, and Ling Tiansu was about to leave, but who knew that he was suddenly stopped by Gu Jinyan.
"That's right, Brother Ling. ”
Ling Tiansu looked back at him suspiciously.
Gu Jinyan smiled at him kindly, "Thank you for coming to see me today." ”
Ling Tiansu was a little embarrassed to laugh at him twice, he was really embarrassed to tell him, in fact, he just found an excuse to come here to investigate the case.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to explain the truth, he suddenly discovered that in fact, this notorious Gu family master was actually not so bad-hearted, at least deep in his heart, he still retained a trace of innocence that ordinary people did not have.
Maybe Gu Jinyan, who seems to have no heart and no lungs, is afraid that he is more eager to get a sincere friendship than anyone else.
Ling Tiansu couldn't bear to puncture his beautiful thoughts, so he smiled and left.
With Ling Tiansu's departure, Gu Jinyan returned to the lobby, and at this time, he also heard the whispers of many people in the hall.
Most of them were dissatisfied with his rude attitude in his eyes, he smiled coldly, he Gu Jinyan did things, when do you need to see the faces of your group of clowns.
Seeing Gu Jinyan's arrival, the volume of his speech was not deliberately lowered, but even increased by a point.
They have long seen that this Gu family who eats idle meals and doesn't do serious things is not pleasing to the eye, why are the good things born to be yours.
Today, the third uncle who has always protected you is gone, except for your father, who is weak, let's see who dares to stand on your side.
A child of the Gu family greeted Gu Jinyan respectfully, and said: "Gu Shao, since the third master has gone, shouldn't you inform the eldest lady of this death, the eldest lady is far away from the frontier at the moment, I am afraid that the news is inadvertently well-informed, if the news is transmitted by Feishu at this moment, the eldest lady may be able to rush back to see the third master for the last time." ”
Gu Jinyan didn't answer his words immediately, and the smile on his face that had not yet subsided was hung up with the usual careless smile.
He took two steps forward and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, but his eyes turned to his second uncle, he remembered that this child of the Gu family was his person.
Although he was smiling, his eyes seemed to be quenched with ice, and the hand that patted his shoulder suddenly clasped his shoulder like an eagle's claw.
The Gu family's face changed drastically, for fear that this uncertain Gu Dashao would suddenly become difficult.
Gu Jinyan's subordinates forced, pulled him in front of him, looked at him deeply, and said coldly in his ear: "If you dare to let my second sister know about this, I won't care that you and Ben Shao have the same surname, if my sister rushes back because of your mouth, Ben Shao ...... Definitely, cut off the flesh off your body piece by piece!"
Gu Jinyan's tone was extremely serious, making people not doubt the authenticity of his words at all.
The young man's face turned blue and his body trembled slightly, he knew that this Gu Da Shao had always been absurd and ruthless in doing things, so he swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva.
Difficult to say: "Gu Shao said and laughed, the little one was just worried that the eldest lady would not be able to see the third master for the last time, so he asked many times, since Gu Shao said that he couldn't disturb the eldest lady, then the small one would not have much to do." ”
Gu Jinyan smiled and said, "I hope you can do what you say." ”
With that, he let go of his shoulders and turned to leave.
The young Gu family disciple rubbed his aching shoulders, didn't dare to look at his second master, and retreated into the crowd in embarrassment, muttering to himself in his heart, it was really a fairy fight, and it was always them mortals who suffered.
Second Master Gu Siming's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, and said, "Useless waste!"
Just as everyone was cleaning up the mourning hall, the second uninvited guest was also invited.
............
The originally closed door was gently pushed open by a bare hand again......
The creaking sound of the door drew everyone's attention to the side, only to see a thin woman in a blood-colored robe pushing the door in.
Her hair was slightly wet from the rain, and the umbrella in her hand had long been put away.
Everyone was speechless, today is not a good day, why did two big people come one after another who can't be provoked.
When Ling Tiansu left, Gu Erye locked the gate, and the inside of the gate was firmly locked by a big black iron lock, afraid of another troublemaker who was not long-eyed.
Well, even if you use the Darkiron Lock, it's useless, because this troublemaker is not only big, but also strong enough to crush them all.
Gu Erye clearly saw that the moment the door that was originally locked by the big lock of the dark iron was pushed open, the big lock on the inside of the gate was as fragile as a tofu block, and it turned into dust silently in an instant.
