Chapter 958: Dragons Have No Leader
"Head of the house, he's dead."
While Yu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately came to Shangguan Shaoqin and knelt down to plead guilty: "The subordinates are incompetent, and the head of the labor family will take action personally, and the head of the family will be punished!" ”
At this moment, he was both afraid and ashamed, he did think a little too highly of himself, and even regarded Gongsun Yi as an ordinary drunk, and looked down on the other party, so that he fell so big.
If it weren't for the other party's trust in Shangguan Shaoqin, once this matter was picked out on the surface, I was afraid that even if he could clear his suspicion, there would be some trouble for the family master's next plan.
Yu Chengzhan knelt tremblingly, his chest was full of remorse, the first time he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the head of the family, something went wrong, he could imagine that he would have to sit on the cold bench for a long time in the family in the future.
However, Yu Cheng was wrong, and Shangguan Shaoqin did not mean to punish him.
"Get up, you have let me down."
Shangguan Shaoqin's faint words made the other party so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head, only to hear him ask again: "I ordered you to poison quietly, but why did you go to the treasury in person?" ”
Yu Cheng replied: "If you go home, your subordinates have investigated, although the Gongsun family has been hit repeatedly, but the family heritage is still a little bit, and the treasury is heavily guarded, if your subordinates sneak into it, I am afraid there will be a risk of exposure." ”
Xu was worried that this explanation was not enough, and Yu Cheng hurriedly added: "But please rest assured, the subordinates went to inform the Gongsun clan guarding the door in the name of the head of the family to prepare some wine to entertain the guests who came to mourn, and it did not arouse their suspicions." ”
Shangguan Shaoqin was noncommittal, and said: "Have you ever thought that if Gongsun Yi really dies from your medicine, the people of the Gongsun family may suspect you?" ”
Yu Cheng bowed: "The head of the family can rest assured, although the treasury is an important place, there are many people coming in and out these days, and the other party is always suspicious, and the subordinates also have legitimate reasons, at this time they are grateful to us, and they will definitely not suspect their subordinates." ”
Yu Cheng seemed to be confident, and Shangguan Shaoqin finally nodded with satisfaction: "Well done." ”
"Thank you, master!" Yu Cheng lowered his head excitedly, and just when he was excited that he was rewarded for his self-assertion, in a trance, a headless corpse appeared in front of him, accompanied by the blood splashing on his neck, which seemed to have a different sense of familiarity.
Boom!
Yu Cheng's head rolled on the ground a few times and landed on the side of Gongsun Yi's corpse.
Shangguan Shaoqin took a few steps backwards to avoid being splashed with the blood, he looked down at the two corpses on the ground, turned and strode out of the room.
At the same time, two silent figures appeared from the shadows, and they silently carried a corpse on their shoulders, and under the cover of the night, each disappeared into the night in different directions.
On the second day, the clansman who brought food and wine to Gongsun Yi knocked on the door for a long time, but never received a response, he boldly pushed the door open, and saw Gongsun Yi lying on the ground without knowing his life or death.
He leaned down tremblingly, reached out to probe the other's snort, and soon, fear crept up the face of the clansman.
Not long after, the Gongsun family got another bad news, since the eldest lady Gongsun Yao, another clansman they had high hopes for died.
The Gongsun family practiced medicine on behalf of the family, and there were many people in the clan who had superb medical skills but were not well-known, and soon the cause of Gongsun Yi's death was found out, which was poisoning.
And the residual wine was found in Gongsun Yi's mouth and body, and after the clues were connected, the people of the Gongsun family naturally thought of the inner ghost.
And the residual wine was found in Gongsun Yi's mouth and body, and after the clues were connected, the people of the Gongsun family naturally thought of the inner ghost.
The wine comes from the treasury, and the important treasury of the clan has not been invaded by foreign enemies, and it is heavily guarded, and only the inner ghosts can poison the wine if they steal from themselves.
And these people are even more divergent thinking, although Gongsun Yi has been drunk and dreaming of death these days, but some things have already penetrated into the bone marrow, and they will not be forgotten when they are drunk.
Gongsun Yi is a master of medicine, and it is extremely difficult to poison him, and if it is light, it can be found before the attack, and if it is heavy, I am afraid that the other party will find out the clues immediately.
If he hadn't forcibly opened his mouth and poured it in, then I'm afraid that this poisoned person was a person that Gongsun Yi trusted very much, and only in this way would the other party be so defenseless.
The clansmen of the Gongsun family are not all incompetent, what they lack is vision and pattern and the courage to take charge of themselves, not brainless.
These people not only suspect that there are ghosts in the family, but also suspect Shangguan Shaoqin, an outsider.
And just when this suspicion intensified, another news came, but it dispelled their suspicions.
In the treasury, the corpse of Yu Cheng, a master of the Shangguan family, was found, and the other party was beheaded with a sword, and the death was exactly the same as that of the eldest lady Gongsun Yao, which was obviously done by the same person!
And Shangguan Shaoqin also told everyone the "truth" he knew after grief.
"Last night, Brother Gongsun quietly came to look for me, saying that he found something strange in the wine, and he wanted to ask me to check, so I sent Brother Yu Cheng to the treasury to investigate, who would have thought"
Shangguan Shaoqin sighed: "It was I who harmed Brother Yu Cheng, I didn't expect the thieves to be so rampant, once or twice to kill people, I really don't take us seriously!" ”
One sentence made the Gongsun family ashamed, but they were also furious.
Yu Cheng's death made everyone basically dispel their suspicions about Shangguan Shaoqin, and the next question is in front of them, who is targeting their Gongsun family?!
The answer to this question is to say no, it is self-deception, but if there is, so far, except for the Shangguan family, which has ruled out suspicion, almost every external condolence force may be a criminal.
The taste of being surrounded by wolves made the Gongsun family feel at risk, and at the same time, they also became more and more dependent on the Shangguan family, after all, with Shangguan Shaoqin here, the other party still dared to make waves, if he was not there, what would the situation become, they couldn't imagine it.
In the end, the result of this incident was that the Gongsun family fell into unprecedented tension, and Shangguan Shaoqin could start to meddle in the affairs of the Gongsun family in a grand manner.
After all, it's not that he wants to interfere now, but that people are begging him to help him definitely one or two, Yu Cheng's death made this group of people angry and faintly happy at the same time, the Shangguan family of the dead person will definitely not give up, they have really become allies on a ship.
And just when Shangguan Shaoqin quietly began to steal beams and change pillars, another question was poked in front of him.
Gongsun is a major force in the rivers and lakes, the family cannot be left without an owner for a day, the eldest lady Gongsun Yao, and the eldest husband Sun Yi are all dead, as for the eldest lady's husband Lu Peng, when everyone thought of him, they only found his body in the room.
Unlike Gongsun Yi and Yu Cheng, Lu Peng did not die of murder, but was starved to death in the room.
I heard that the eldest lady was in charge of the food and living in Lu Peng's yard, and after the eldest lady died, those people had no leader, and they forgot about the food delivery for a while.
However, at this critical juncture, this insignificant little thing is no longer worth everyone's attention, and the clansmen of the Gongsun family want to nominate as a representative at this time, but it is unexpectedly the already notorious young master, Gongsun Cheng.
