Chapter 21: Contrary to common sense
"Hahahaha, everyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the old man has something to do temporarily, and he came a little late, so you have been waiting for a long time, don't blame you."
With a burst of laughter, two figures walked in from the outside.
These two people, one of them is an old man, this old man is strong, but he is blind in one eye, and his appearance is a little fierce, it is the head of the Sun family, named Sun Li.
The other was a middle-aged man, who looked six or seven points similar to the old man, and this person was Sun Li's son, named Sun Changzhi.
After Sun Li entered the inner hall, he saw that Zhou Rang was also here, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he came to Zhou Rang and laughed: "Hahaha, it turns out that Brother Zhou is also here, it is not easy to see Brother Zhou, it seems that he didn't come in vain today, he didn't come in vain!" ”
Behind Sun Li, Sun Changzhi also clasped his fists and saluted Zhou Rang, and called Uncle Zhou.
Zhou Rang stroked his beard, smiled slightly, did not speak, nodded, and said hello.
Sun Li didn't care, he looked around, glanced at everyone, and said, "Yo, it seems that you have all been here for a while, and you are really complete today." ”
After saying this, he greeted Sun Changzhi, and the two sat down by themselves, and then he said to Fang Zhen: "Fang Xian's nephew mourns, I heard about Fang Zhi County, there are many places that are not clear, Fang Zhi County loves the people like a son, such a good person, he suddenly encountered a catastrophe, if Fang Xian's nephew wants to investigate, if there is anything that needs the help of my Sun family, just say it, my Sun family will definitely help, there is no other word." ”
When Fang Zhen heard this, he just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Sun Li turned his head to look at the head of the Zhao family again, and began to greet him for a while, the head of the Zhao family smiled politely and coped with a few words.
Of the seven major families in Ningcheng, only the Sun family and the Zhou family have the highest seniority and the oldest, and the remaining five families are all about the same age as Fang Zhen.
In this way, the heads of several major families in Ningcheng were greeted by Sun Li one by one and greeted each other.
It was as if today's occasion was like a tea party held by his grandson's family, with constant laughter, as if Gu Shen did not exist at all.
Wu Qian stood at the door, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Shen who was sitting on the top a few times, and he found that Gu Shen had been looking as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest joy or anger.
This couldn't help but make him sigh secretly in his heart, this Lord Gu's city government is really unusual, if he was an ordinary person of this age, he was ignored like this, it is estimated that he would not be able to hold it back for a long time, and he would lose his temper.
After a long time, Sun Li looked at Gu Shen who was sitting at the top, and said with a smile: "This is Gu Shen Gu from the Tiandu Jing Tiansi, right?" ”
"What advice does the head of the Sun family have?" Gu Shen looked at him calmly.
Sun Li said: "I don't dare to give advice, but I am so young and has such a status for Gu Xunshou, who can surpass our group of people, so that the old man can't help but sigh secretly in his heart, what a hero is a young man." ”
"Compared with Gu Patrol, my grandson Sun Jie is not worth mentioning at all." As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he hated that iron could not be made of steel.
At the same time, Sun Li was secretly observing Gu Shen's expression, and when he saw that Gu Shen didn't react when he heard the word "Sun Jie", he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
Sun Jie is the son-in-law who insulted Gu Shen in Yixianglou before, shot at Gu Shen, and was injured in the end.
At this moment, Sun Jie was still lying in a coma at Sun's house, but the perpetrator Gu Shen was sitting here in a good manner, and even had to give orders to them, and it seemed that Gu Shen had no impression of Sun Jie at all, which couldn't help but make Sun Li even more angry.
Of course, even so, on the surface, he still looks kind and smiling.
"From the moment I entered the door to the present, the head of the Sun family has been talking non-stop, and now I can say enough?" Gu Shen said expressionlessly.
"Hahaha, it's no wonder that Patrol Gu is not strange, it's really a long time since we've seen each other, and today we just happened to gather here at this juncture, people are getting old, and I can't help but say more, I think Patrol Gu has a lot, you won't blame me for being an old man, right?" Sun Li was blind in one eye, like a smiling tiger, and said to Gu Shen with a smile.
Seeing this, a smile also appeared at the corner of Gu Shen's mouth, and said: "Since the Sun family master is so hospitable, then tomorrow, I will start the search from the Sun family first, I think the Sun family master should not have any opinions, right?" ”
"Search? What search? Hearing this, Sun Li's face suddenly changed.
Gu Shen said lightly: "There are demons lurking in Ningcheng, it is very likely to possess someone's body, the Oiran of Yixianglou, and Fang Yong, the magistrate of Ningcheng, both of them are like this, therefore, for the safety of the people in the city, and for the safety of everyone here, it is natural to search the whole city, and tomorrow, let's start with your Sun family." ”
Hearing that there were demons lurking in Ningcheng, Gu Shen still had to search the whole city, and many people's faces changed.
But Fang Zhen was relieved in his heart, and secretly exhaled, it turned out that Gu Shen didn't intend to target the Fang family, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
"Where did Patrol Gu get this news from, of course, I don't suspect Patrol Gu, but if you want to search, you have to let us know some reasons, right?" Sun Li said with a frown.
When the other heads of the family heard this, they also nodded one after another, and they wanted to search them for no reason, and these people naturally would not be willing.
Gu Shen said: "It was Fang Zhixian who told me before he died. ”
"Fang Yong?" Sun Li said with some doubts: "But didn't Patrol Gu just say that Fang Zhixian was possessed by demons, as far as the old man knows, people who are possessed by demons and ghosts will be polluted and become puppets of demons, is what such a person said credible?" ”
When Fang Zhen heard this, his face suddenly changed, he stood up directly, glared at Sun Li, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Sun Li smiled and said, "Nephew Fang Xian, don't be impatient, I just said one of the possibilities." ”
Fang Zhen glanced at Gu Shen twice, took a deep breath, and sat down again.
Gu Shen said: "Believe it or not, this is the official's business, you just need to do it, what's more, didn't the head of the Sun family say just now that there are many doubts about the affairs of Fang Zhi County, why don't you insist on it at this time?" ”
Sun Li stroked his beard, looked at Gu Shen with one eye, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, I just said, what I said before is just one of the possibilities, I still have the greatest doubts about Fang Zhixian's death, because there were no witnesses at that time, and there was no evidence to prove that Fang Zhixian was really possessed by demons." ”
Hearing this, Gu Shen's face was calm, he looked at Sun Li, and said, "In this way, the head of the Sun family is suspicious of me?" ”
"Hahaha, don't blame Gu Patrol, after all, we are handling a case, and this matter has a lot to do with it, it involves hundreds of thousands of people in the city, it is impossible to make a decision so hastily, we have to discuss it, since we are discussing, then we naturally have to tell the truth, what do you think?"
In the last sentence, he asked the rest of the heads of the families.
When the head of the Zhao family and several others heard this, they all nodded, and some agreed with Sun Li's remarks.
They felt that what Sun Li said was right, and this matter was indeed full of suspicions.
Moreover, the incident happened suddenly, even Fang Yong died, and it was the first time they met Gu Shen, and it was inevitable that they would not trust Gu Shen.
And this distrust has been magnified a lot because of Sun Li's words.
Gu Shen sat on the top, frowning slightly, he saw very clearly, Sun Li was deliberately inciting everyone, what he Gu Shen wanted to do, Sun Li didn't let him do anything, and the means were very high, normally speaking, Gu Shen really had no way to prove it.
I have to say that Sun Li is really an old fox, and he grabbed Gu Shen in a few words.
But it's a pity that Sun Li made the same mistake as the Fang family, that is, he misjudged Gu Shen's character.
Common sense is difficult to explain, but Gu Shen doesn't intend to follow common sense.
Who says you have to play your cards according to common sense?
At this time, I only heard Gu Shen say: "According to what the Sun family master said, no matter what, if I want to search the whole city, this matter can't be done?" ”
Sun Li didn't speak, just looked at Gu Shen with a smile and a word.
"So, in that case......" Gu Shen stood up, looked down at Sun Li below, his eyes gradually became a little sharp, and said, "If I insist on searching the whole city, what can you do!" ”
