Chapter Eighty-Eight: Interrogation
Gu Guzi saw that when he was nine years old, his evil and terrifying father did not hesitate to throw his mother into the snake nest with his own hands in order to refine the most poisonous Gu, he listened to his mother's screams, and watched his mother's despair when she looked at him for the last time, and he was so frightened that he could only hide aside and dare not make a sound.
The scene changed, and he came to the time when Gu Guzi was eleven years old, at that time, his father was obsessed with practicing Gu all day long, and sometimes he directly tried Gu with him and his younger brother, and he often substituted for his younger brother in order to protect his younger brother.
It was as if he had gone back to that terrible night, and he had been thrown into a vat full of poisonous insects, and no matter how painfully he cried inside, the so-called father outside just looked at him with excitement and laughed, as if watching his own cry of pain was his most proud work!
………
Memories came flooding back, and now he seemed to have really returned to that time, those dark years.
At this time, Gu Guzi's forehead was already full of sweat, his body was curled up on the ground and trembling, and his cousin was very painful and distorted.
Seeing that Gu Guzi was like this, Mu Ruoxue took out a silver needle from her sleeve and pierced it in Gu Guzi's Baihui acupoint, and then, Gu Zi regained a trace of sanity.
"How? Have you thought about it? Do you want to say it? Mu Ruoxue looked at Gu Guzi and asked coldly, the Gu she had just given Gu Zi could make people recall the most terrifying memories of the past, and experience them over and over again.
After Gu Guzi regained a trace of consciousness, he looked at the scene in front of him, and found that everything just now was an illusion, and then looked at Mu Ruoxue and sneered: "Hmph! That's all you have to do! ”
Mu Ruoxue gently tugged at the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and said, "Okay, then you can experience the feeling just now, I believe you will have new insights!" ”
Then, Mu Ruoxue pulled out the silver needle inserted in the Baihui acupoint of Gu Guzi, and suddenly Gu Guzi's expression became painful again, and he began to twitch again.
This time Gu Guzi saw the first person he killed in his life, his so-called father! Seeing the way he had died, the man who had suddenly fallen to the ground stood up, looked at him with hatred, and walked towards him step by step, saying that he would not make himself feel better!
"Ahh Yes! ......" Suddenly, Gumiko hugged his head and shouted.
Mu Ruoxue inserted the silver needle into his Baihui acupoint again, and saw Gu Guzi hurriedly say: "I said, I said ......"
Mu Ruoxue saw that Gu Guzi gave in and said, "What are the emperors and the four princes planning?" ”
"The royal people all know a rumor, that is, Shang, Wu, Yi, and Wu correspond to the four major families of Su, Gu, Shen, and Qiu, if one of them can be controlled by one of them, it will be able to maintain long-term stability, and if all the four families are used for themselves in the early days, it can be immortal for thousands of generations!" Gu Zizi said slowly.
Mu Ruoxue frowned when she heard this, there are still such rumors, among them, Su Jia should be talking about the Su family of the largest businessman in the capital, no wonder Bai Zixu cared about Su Xinlan so much last time, and Su Xinlan pretending to be sick also had something to do with it.
"Then which are the four major families of these four families?" Mu Ruoxue asked again, although she already had some guesses, she still couldn't be sure.
"The Su family is the largest merchant family in the capital, and the Gu family is the most mysterious witch family among the four major families, the Shen family is committed to the study of medical skills, I heard that in their hands can live dead flesh and bones, the Qiu family almost controls all the forces in the entire rivers and lakes, and their own family is also very large, and the force alone can be matched with the royal family!" Gu Zizi said again.
"And the people of these four major families all attach great importance to bloodline, the orthodox bloodline in the family, the abilities in their hands, and the things they have learned are the most mysterious and the best! Their martial arts, medical skills, witchcraft, and trade secrets never come out! Gu Zizi said again.
"You know witchcraft, could it be that you are a member of the Gu family among the four major families?" Mu Ruoxue looked at Gu Guzi and said lightly.
"My ancestor used to be a side branch of the Gu family, the ancestor of the Gu family was a national teacher in the previous dynasty, and later changed his surname in order to take refuge, and the orthodox bloodline has a genealogy in his hands, which hides many secrets and secrets of practicing witchcraft!" Gu Zidao, because he had just been hit by the Gu, his face was very pale at this time.
"Then how did you get to the emperor and the four princes?" Mu Ruoxue asked again.
"I have been looking for genealogies in order to learn better witchcraft, and the emperor wants to find the heads of the four major families, so we have reached a consensus." Gu Zizi said slowly.
"Have you found the genealogy? Or is the genealogy with you now? Mu Ruoxue asked again.
"The real genealogy has never been found, and I haven't found it for a long time!" Valley subway.
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Dian looked at Gu Guzi and asked.
"At the beginning, the Gu family was wiped out, and it was only the witch genealogy that was robbed, and no one knew where the real genealogy was, and I had been looking for it, but there was no clue!" Valley subway.
"Where is the Gu family's sorcerer genealogy that was robbed at the beginning?" Mu Ruoxue asked again, things are really getting more and more complicated!
"In the wine cellar of the former National Teacher's Mansion." Gu Zizi said again.
Mu Ruoxue and the three of them looked at each other when they heard this.
"Are we going to find the Witch Genealogy now?" He Cailian looked at Gu Dianyi and Mu Ruoxuedao.
"Of course we have to find it, let's set off immediately, find it early, rest assured early, although it is not a real genealogy, but the witch genealogy should also be quite important to the Gu family, maybe there will be clues to the genealogy." Mu Ruoxue Road.
"And what about this person?" He Cailian looked at Gu Guzi and said.
"Killed, of course! He has a grudge against me! As soon as Gu Dian looked at Gu Guzi's angry words, he immediately pulled out the sword in his hand.
"Wait a minute, we actually promised him just now, as long as he explains the matter, we will let him go, we can't be untrustworthy, he has done so many bad things, he will be retributed, there is no need to rush for a while." Mu Ruoxue stopped Gu Dian Yi, who was about to make a move.
Hearing this, Gu Dian slowly put down the sword in his hand, and then slapped Gu Guzi in the chest, and Gu Zi fainted on the spot.
"Don't worry, he's just fainted, he won't die!" Gu Dianyi immediately explained.
Mu Ruoxue didn't say anything more when she saw this, and then, the three of them glanced at each other, and imagined that the National Teacher's Mansion would set off.
It's just that Mu Ruoxue, who had just left the door of Yizhuang, saw a familiar figure, standing outside, that person was Li Luo! After seeing the person in front of her, Mu Ruoxue was a little surprised in her heart, it was so late, how could Li Luo come here?
At this time, Li Luo turned around and saw Mu Ruoxue and the three of them, and his eyes were also surprised.
"Ruoxue, why are you here?" Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxuedao.
"I'm here to interrogate Gu Zi, and now there are results." Mu Ruoxue replied.
"Valley! He is the person next to the emperor and the four princes, how can he easily confide in things? Li Luo asked suspiciously, his subordinates also found out that Guguzi might be near here, so he would come over tonight, but he didn't want to meet Mu Ruoxue and them here, and they were even faster than their own movements.
"Cailian, she knows witchcraft, and we use witchcraft to extract confessions." Mu Ruoxue said lightly, but her heart was a little empty.
Hearing this, Li Luo looked at He Cailian again and said, "Then where are you going now?" ”
"Gu Guzi said that the witch tree is in the wine cellar of the former dynasty national teacher's mansion, so we want to find it." Mu Ruoxue said again.
But Li Luo's eyes suddenly became solemn when he heard this, and said: "You three can't venture to go, the king has also ordered someone to check it very strangely, you must prepare in advance, I will accompany you to go, but before that, you have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"Why?" Mu Ruoxue was puzzled, could it be that the matter of sneaking out was known by Mu Hanyun!
"It's what you think in your heart, go back now, don't be in a hurry to go to the National Teacher's Mansion, the emperor has also checked the National Teacher's Mansion recently, and there will definitely be some action in the near future, so it's better for you to be careful." Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxuedao.
When Mu Ruoxue heard this, she felt that what Li Luo said was also reasonable, if the emperor also wanted to intervene in this matter, then they must be fully prepared, and thinking of Mu Hanyun, who was worried about him in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt a little unbearable.
"Well, well!" Mu Ruoxue nodded.
And He Cailian and Gu Dian had no objection when they saw that Mu Ruoxue agreed, and then Mu Ruoxue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw Mu Hanyun and You Yiyi sitting in the hall, and Mu Hanyun's face was not very good.
"You still know to come back! Where did the big night run go! Mu Hanyun looked at Mu Ruoxue and asked with a dark face.
You Yiyi, who was sitting on the side, still wanted to speak, but seeing that Mu Hanyun was angry and didn't speak, knowing that this was a matter between their father and daughter, he didn't want to interject, and then left directly.
Mu Ruoxue looked at Mu Hanyun and thought for a while: "This is my friend Gu Dianyi, he is a member of the Gu family, one of the four legendary families, and I will help him find the genealogy." ”
What he did couldn't always be hidden from Mu Hanyun, if he was making up any other reason today, it was estimated that Mu Hanyun would not believe it, so he simply told him the truth of the matter.
And when Mu Hanyun heard this, the expression on his face was very shocked, looking at Gu Dian Yi, he couldn't believe it, he naturally knew about the four legendary families, but the emperors of all dynasties were looking for these four families, wanting to subdue them to ensure that their country would last for generations.
"What!" Mu Hanyun's face was full of shock, these things should have been the secret selfishness of the royal family, but he didn't want to involve Mu Ruoxue now.
"Daddy, I didn't lie to you, all this is true, the emperor is also looking for the Gu family and the genealogy, and I promised Gu Dianyi to help him find the genealogy." Mu Ruoxue said again.
