Chapter 71: Gu Zhiqi's revenge
The magistrate led people to smash open the gate and rushed in directly.
I don't know if it's the reason for the decline of the family, the Lu family doesn't have a few family members.
After entering the door, there was not even a single person in the wide courtyard.
"My lord, what's going on?"
A servant looked at the empty courtyard and asked, it stands to reason that this person who has just been intercepted can't be so quiet.
"Whatever, search!"
For a while, everyone began to enter the various rooms and rummage through the cabinets.
It didn't take long for the woman Gu Jiu saw that night to be brought out, and in addition to her, there were two family members, a man and a woman, as well as a paralyzed middle-aged man.
"What are you going to do?"
The woman asked, standing in front of the man in the wheelchair.
"You robbed the Dharma field in public, despised the court, and the crime should be punished! Thinking of friendship, this official can open up the net for you, but you must hand over Lu Qiuzhi immediately! β
The woman smiled, her expression sarcastic, and she didn't care.
"Our Lu family is in the middle of the road, and now there are only a few people left in this big courtyard. My lord, look at it, which of us has the ability to rob the Dharma field! β
"If you don't believe me, search for it. If you find it out, we will admit it, otherwise you have to apologize to our Lu family in front of the people of Cloud City. β
"The official answered."
After a careful search for half an hour, nothing was found. Not to mention people, even the silver was only found for fifteen taels.
Gu Jiu looked at the broken silver in front of him, but he didn't find the silver he sent out that night.
Already spent?
But no one in the Lu family went out all day yesterday.
"Impossible, keep looking!"
Seeing that nothing was going to be found, the magistrate immediately took action in person and searched room by house.
Gu Jiu looked at the woman, who was still breezy and calm, and even gave people a sense of indifference that had nothing to do with him. As for the man in the wheelchair, he was half-squinted from the very beginning, calmly as if everything had been arranged a long time ago.
Can......
If the person didn't bring it back to the Lu family, Shaobaisi couldn't have no signal at all.
Discovered?
It's not so wasteful, is it?
Gu Jiu followed behind the county order, watching him carefully check room after room.
The Lu family is very large, and there are less than forty or fifty rooms. Some of the rooms looked like they had not been inhabited for a long time, and they had fallen into a thick layer of dust.
Gu Jiu entered the kitchen, the kitchen area was about sixty square meters, and the overall look was very clean.
Gu Jiu squatted down, reached out and touched the stove, and the stove at home with Lu Qiuzhi in Jingchangkou was simply the same touch.
Greasy.
When the raw meat is roasted over the fire, the fat seeps out, and over time, the fat absorbs to the surrounding stones.
Gu Jiu endured the psychological discomfort and groped inch by inch.
Suddenly, as if she had pressed something, the stone under her finger dented, and then suddenly there was a small clicking sound in the room.
Following the sound, Gu Jiu soon found that one of the stone slabs was three millimeters higher than the surrounding ones.
Lift it hard.
Under the stone slab is a dark passage.
Confirming that there was no one around, Gu Jiu quickly entered the dark passage. And take out a torch from the space and light it.
But after taking a few steps, there was a fork in the road ahead, and Gu Jiu looked at the three identical roads in front of him, and he was in trouble for a while.
Which way to go?
After thinking about it for a while, I randomly chose the one on the left, but after walking for three minutes, there was a fork in the road not far away.
This...... If you don't have a good memory and can't remember what you chose, you might really be trapped inside.
For the sake of safety, Gu Jiutong chose the leftmost road.
At the fifth fork, Gu Jiu suddenly heard a knocking sound, and someone seemed to be exploring the way through the tapping in the right position.
Gu Jiu leaned close to the wall and listened carefully.
Knock back a few times with your hand, and the other side seemed to be stunned, followed by a few muffled sounds.
Gu Jiu suspected that it was Shao Baisi, so he retreated according to the original path and changed to the rightmost road.
"Shao Baiji!"
Gu Jiukan turned sideways and shouted as he dodged the folding fan.
Looking at the fan inserted into the dirt, Gu Jiu's eyes widened in shock - this fan still has a blade!
"How did you find here?"
"There is a dark passage in the kitchen of the Lu family. Are you lost? β
Shao Baisi hummed embarrassedly: "Lu Qiuzhi and those people are dead, but they haven't found the money yet, have you found it over there?" β
"Nope." Gu Jiu shook his head: "The magistrate almost turned the Lu family upside down, and he found a dozen taels of silver." I suspect they hid the silver in it. β
Shao Baisi was silent for a moment and said, "There are too many forks here, and it is impossible to find out in a short period of time. You go back first, don't let the magistrate find out here, and we'll come in later to investigate carefully." β
"Okay."
Returning the same way, climbing up the stairs, Gu Jiu carefully lifted the stone slab, and climbed out after making sure that there was no one.
"Lord Zhixian, you have checked and searched, and you have also searched. Now that we haven't found anything, it's time to give us an explanation! β
The woman stepped forward and stopped the magistrate and said.
The magistrate glanced at her, then looked at the person in the wheelchair, and said, "The scope is too large, and the official is understaffed, so I can't finish the investigation for a while." β
looked at the humanity he brought: "A few of you stay here to continue the investigation, and as soon as you find out, you will immediately return to the yamen to resume your life." β
"Yes!"
Then, Zhixian looked at Gu Jiu again and said, "Xiao Jiu, you can go back first, it's too messy here, it's not suitable for you as a little girl who hasn't left the cabinet." If there is any situation, the official will send someone to tell you! β
Gu Jiu nodded.
Zhixian's words are nothing more than that he feels that the time is ripe, and it is the same whether he has taken care of it for a long time.
What's more, he once asked Gu Jiu if he was loyal to the imperial court, and she answered. Since this is the case, then he deserves more benefits, after all, he is serving the imperial court!
Since he didn't know where Shao Bai Si would come from, out of Lu Mansion, Gu Jiu went back to the bookstore directly, and waited for Shao Bai Si to meet him so that he could discuss the next step of action.
Halfway through, I saw a large group of people gathered in the distance.
"Hurry, hurry! Someone's going to jump into the river! I heard that she is still a young lady from a big family! β
A man ran beside him, excitedly pulling his peers to see the "lively".
Big family? Could it be Shi Yuyan?
Gu Jiu squeezed in with the flow of people, followed the noise, and saw the boats in the river below.
On the rudimentary, even wrecked ship, there were two figures standing, who, judging by their body movements, were arguing fiercely.
"Isn't it just a sleep, we have to do the same thing after we get married, what if a few days in advance? But you, do you know what Shi Qiusheng did to me at that time? β
"I'm asking you! Speak! β
Although Shi Yuyan was spoiled by Shi Qiusheng and grew up, after all, she was tutored and couldn't say dirty words.
If you can't scold, you want to do it, but how can she beat Gu Zhiqi as a woman, and she was thrown off the boat by Gu Zhiqi in less than two seconds.
The people on the bridge gasped when they saw this.
Shi Yuyan can't swim.
Gu Jiu glanced at the ship not far from the broken ship, and Shi Xuyao, who jumped down from it, retracted the foot he had just taken.
"Look at the excitement."
Gu Jiu's heart tightened, and he frowned and looked at Shao Baisi: "If you appear like this a few more times, I will be scared to death by you sooner or later." β
"Let's go."
Shaobaisi had no intention of watching the excitement, and he just wanted to pull Gu Jiu away when he squeezed into the crowd.
Out of the crowd, Gu Jiu asked in a low voice, "That's your fiancΓ©e, right?" You don't care at all? β
"No matter."
"Then your sense of responsibility is a little weak."
Hearing this, Shaobai Si paused slightly, turned his head to look at Gu Jiu and said seriously: "First of all, regardless of whether there is a relationship between me and her, just after knowing that she has a fiancΓ©, she still expresses her feelings in front of everyone else. At that point, I won't care about her. β
Gu Jiu nodded without any waves.
"You don't believe me?"
"We have a cooperative relationship, which does not affect the cooperation. Besides......" Gu Jiu thought about the scene where he asked him to marry him before, and continued: "In this regard, the two of you are half a catty. β
After speaking, Gu Jiu seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped.
Gu Zhiqi's behavior of pushing Shi Yuyan into the water in front of Shi's family is tantamount to playing with fire and self-immolation.
He's not smart, but he's not stupid enough to be that far!
The only explanation is that he felt hopeless and didn't want to live anymore.
If you don't want to live, you can do anything. If he hadn't died in that river today, he would have climbed up and burned her bookstore!
"What's wrong with you?"
Shao Baisi looked at Gu Jiu, who seemed to be about to explode in the next second, and said suspiciously.
"I remembered a big thing!"
After speaking, Gu Jiu threw off Shaobaisi and plunged into the crowd again.
At this time, Shi Yuyan has been rescued, but look like that...... It's like it's dead......
Gu Jiu recalled the sound of everyone squeaking just now, and looked at Gu Zhiqi who was soaking in the water again.
This person couldn't have seen that Shi Xuyao was coming over, and he was afraid that Shi Yuyan would not drown, so he deliberately jumped down and drowned Shi Yuyan before Shi Xuyao came over!
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Jiu gasped.
Although Gu Zheqi did this, Shi Qiusheng would definitely kill him; But in view of Shi Qiu's two mistakes before his death, in order to avoid burning his shop before Gu Zhiqi died, Gu Jiu decided to give him a ride.
"You're talking about watching two people fight in the water?"
"Hmm!" Gu Jiu nodded very seriously, took out a needle from the space, stuffed it into Shao Baisi's hand, and said in his ear.
"Do you see the one in white in the water? Do you have what it takes to make him die instantly! β
Shao Baisi: "Hmm?!!! β
"I found that you can't compare with ordinary women, because even a man rarely has your viciousness."
Gu Jiu: "...... Why are you so ugly? Do you have the ability to do this? β
"Nope."
Hearing this, Gu Jiu immediately took back the silver needle. I really overestimated him, and I thought he had the ability to hurt people by picking flowers from flying leaves in the novel!
"I'm not afraid of falling when I stand so close."
"I'm good at water."
"Oh~"
Shaobaisi's voice had a significantly elongated tail sound, and Gu Jiu suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, and before she could turn around, Shaobaisi "squeezed" her.
"Don't thank me."
This was the last thing Gu Jiu heard before weightlessness.
Gu Jiu: Shaobaisi, you wait! This revenge is not a gentleman!
