It was written concisely on the paper that the matter of the Gu family that was inspected was not much different from the news received by Jinling City, that is, it did not have much significance.

"Regarding the affairs of the Gu family, there are different opinions in the city, but most of them are just gossip, which is really not credible." The shopkeeper saluted, "Whether the pavilion master can be trusted or not, what is written on this paper is all confirmed." ”

For example, it is true that the Gu family collaborated with the enemy, because there were indeed people from the Gu family who had contact with the outside of the Guan.

For another example, although the Gu family collaborated with the enemy, there was no private hiding of weapons in the house, and it was true that there were no troops to buy horses, and until the Gu family was destroyed, there was not a single soldier for the Gu family to call.

There are some facts on the paper, but these things are already known to Qi Yue, and the news was sent to Jinling City earlier, isn't it the same? It's really nothing unusual.

"Collaborating with the enemy, and not recruiting troops, this is a bit ......" Qi Yue frowned, "But is there anything else?" For example, what happened after the collapse of the Gu family, the haunted thing. ”

The shopkeeper reacted immediately, "Holy Sect? ”

"I've encountered a lot of strange things along the way, especially this Holy Sect, it's really weird, what do they want to do, what do they do, have you checked clearly?" Qi Yue raised his eyes to look at him.

The shopkeeper bowed, "My subordinates have only been in Lizhou for two years, and when they came, the Holy Sect already existed, and they all knew it from the mouths of the people, and they didn't know the reason for it. However, this haunted thing of the Gu family, the subordinates have been paying attention to it, it is not a demon, it is simply man-made! ”

"What do you know?" Qi Yue asked.

The shopkeeper approached and lowered his voice and said, "The people sent out by my subordinates have seen those people of the Holy Sect with their own eyes, pretending to be gods and ghosts to scare the people, and the next day they killed people in the name of ghosts and gods to collect money, and they also used this as a threat to force the government to recognize the Holy Religion, and let them act recklessly. ”

"I knew it was a trick." Qi Yue didn't doubt the ambition of these people at all, and even the stone statue of Baili Chang'an began to be carved, it was definitely not a simple evil thing, these people had a bigger conspiracy, "Could it be that no one has noticed it for so long?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "The Pavilion Master doesn't know, this Holy Sect is the best at demagoguery, and it intersperses a lot of their meticulous work in the crowd, using it as eyes and ears, in order to seek more miracles to deceive everyone. Over the years, the people have been delirious by them, and many of them are willing to die for the sake of the Holy Religion, which is very frightening. ”

"To deceive the world, you should be killed!" Qi Yue drank low.

The shopkeeper bowed, "Yes!" ”

"Contact everyone in the city, and prepare for the spies. Tonight, I'll go and visit the Gu family first, and you can set me up a place to live. Qi Yue got up and walked out, "Also, are there any spies from the Sui Palace's house in the city?" ”

Sui Wangfu?

The shopkeeper was stunned, "I haven't noticed it for the time being." ”

"Then keep an eye on it." Qi Yue jumped and disappeared into the wall.

The shopkeeper frowned, and immediately turned his head to look at the guy beside him, "Go and inform everyone immediately, the pavilion master has arrived, come and assemble after dark tomorrow, remember to be quiet, don't alarm the people of the Holy Sect." ”

"Yes!" The man bowed his head and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper looked at the wall, and the person chosen by the eldest princess was really good at martial arts.

Family.

It's not difficult to find the Gu family, the ruins of the Gu family are like purgatory, and the weird legends that have permeated Lizhou over the years are enough to make people daunted and retreat.

Qi Yue stood on top of that ruin, looking at the place that had been burned down by a fire many years ago, and he was also clear about the affairs of the Gu family, and later learned that it was Zi Lan's hand.

The little girl is ruthless enough, the chickens and dogs are not left, and there is really no living thing at all.

This fire burned Gu's house inside and out, and after years of wind and rain, it collapsed everywhere, and only outside the dilapidated wall, there were still three or three pieces of incense and candle offerings.

This shows the fear of all the people in the city.

Qi Yue stood on top of the ruins, and walked towards the inside, the Gu family's mansion is not small, after all, it is the Gu family who was once the first emperor's teacher, and it is a scholarly family with a high gate.

Nowadays, even the cloister and the courtyard are not clear, the beams and pillars that have been burned to charcoal, because of the erosion of wind and rain, have long been broken into several sections, no longer the same as before, the wild grass grows out of the cracks in the stones, and the vines drill out from the corners of the wall, lingering on the entire decadent frame, making the originally gloomy place even more treacherous and terrifying.

As the people say, purgatory on earth is nothing more than that.

The corpse has long been buried, and all that remains here is some resentment, as soon as the wind blows, it will whist, as if someone is crying, as if someone is complaining, how unwilling......

Qi Yue stepped past the broken beam, walked through the overgrown front yard, walked towards the back, and stopped in the most inconspicuous corner.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust and mud.

Xu was the rain of the previous two days, so that there was something underneath, revealing a faint corner, I couldn't see what it was, buried under the dust and mud and did not see the light of day.

Qi Yue squatted down, looked left and right, picked up the stone on the ground, and gently scraped the faint shiny thing.

In an instant, the mud came out.

It looks like an iron box, and looking at the remaining traces of wooden boards on the side, it should be placed in a cabinet, perhaps a bookcase or a dresser, after the fire, it was buried in ashes, blending with the dust and mud.

Only after the rain will appear, and now the moon stars are scarce, and the iron box is slightly reflective.

The rusty iron box has long been dilapidated, and some places have been corroded out of rust holes, and it is not the iron box itself that shines faintly, but the things hidden in the box.

A silver ring, stained with dust and ashes, looking at the ashes, only a few places still show the true color of the silver, the original single return to the moonlight is slightly dim, will not be seen.

Fortunately, the moonlight is good tonight.

The surrounding barren grass was long, Qi Yue squatted in it, carefully rubbing the silver ring in his hand, trying to see the original face of the silver ring, but the dust and mud were embedded in the cracks, and he couldn't do it at all.

I had no choice but to put the silver ring in my arms first, and then look through the contents of the iron box.

At the bottom of the iron box, a piece of paper was dissolved, because the wind and rain and time were too long, it had long been dissolved with the iron box, even if it was a Daluo Immortal, it could not be fully expanded, and naturally there was no way to know what was written on it, only that there was a piece of paper inside.

That's all!

In the box, there are still jade beads thrown one by one, the tassels have long been rotten, and they melt at the touch, but the jade beads are still crystal clear, the color is bright white, and it is really a superior thing......
