Chapter 16: The Suffering of the Ancient Family
Wu Tian and the others soon came to the gate of the county government, and a group of officials were frightened by Wu Tian's firepower and did not dare to act rashly.
"Brush Brush Brush ~"
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and I saw a rain of arrows covering Wu Tian and the others!
"Let's go!" Wu Kun roared, his body was covered in golden light, and his fists were like wheels, which could withstand the rain of arrows, protecting Wu Tian and Gu Tian behind him.
"Ahh
"Third uncle, retreat!"
Wu Tian roared, and another grenade was thrown out of the crowd, and under the cover of Wu Kun, he quickly ran towards the door.
"Brother Gu, lead the way, go to Gujia!"
Out of the county office, Wu Tian yelled at Gu Tian, and Gu Tian's speed of action was too slow, Wu Kun took two steps over and directly carried Gu Tian up, and under Gu Tian's guidance, he quickly ran towards Gu Tian's house.
In the county office, the people who were blown up by the grenade turned on their backs also quickly reacted and rushed out towards the gate of the county office.
"Launch the whole city to arrest quickly! The county order was killed by thieves, and it is bound to be arrested and brought to justice!!"
The scholar gave a cold order under the lintel where the master stood.
The officials immediately divided into several teams and launched a carpet search.
Wu Tian and a few people were running on the street, it was past midnight at this time, the street was empty, occasionally encountered one or two watchmen, Wu Lao Er flew over and knocked unconscious with a knife.
Soon everyone came to a desolate mansion in the west of the city, and an old plaque on the lintel read "Ancient Mansion" in two gilt characters.
The white jade stones on both sides of the gate are more than one person high, showing that this was once a noble family.
Gu Tian got off Wu Kun's back and quickly ran to the gatehouse, and when the gatehouse saw that it was his son-in-law who came back, he quickly opened the door and let everyone into the courtyard.
"Go back to my small courtyard first, it's not appropriate to wake up the rest of the people at this time!" Gu Tian said unusually calmly at this time.
A few people soon came to the small courtyard of Gutian, a very chic courtyard, full of all kinds of flowers and plants, and a small lake, a small pavilion by the lake, presumably it is the place where Gu Tian usually recites poetry and music.
Gu Tian led a few people into the courtyard, and quickly ordered his subordinates to bring hot water, Wu Kun took out the arrow on Wu Laosan's arm, and bandaged the wound with gauze after a simple treatment.
"Whew..."
Wu Tian let out a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged his fist at Gu Tian.
"Brother Gu, we may have to bother here for a few days!"
"Brother Wu is polite! If it weren't for Brother Wu, how could I have survived until now!"
Gu Tian also said with a righteous fist.
While the two were talking, there was a noise in the courtyard of the front hall.
"Oh no! I found this place so quickly?!" Wu Laosan picked up two hammers despite his arm injury.
"Don't worry! I'll go and take a look first! Brother Wu, you can rest here for the time being, the county government has made such a big noise, it should be the government officials searching from house to house! I'll deal with it!"
At this time, Gu Tian was unusually calm, and after speaking in a deep voice, he walked towards the front hall.
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, we'll leave when Brother Gu comes back!" Wu Tian said helplessly.
"It is estimated that this Ishihara County will not be able to stay, and the county order will be killed as soon as it comes, what kind of thing is this!"
Wu Tian was too bitter in his heart, he was chased and killed by Qingshanguan when he crossed over, and finally escaped to this Shiyuan County, and inexplicably almost sucked up the essence and blood by the county order, and killed him by luck, it is really the world's great place for no master!
Front hall compound
A head-catching person with a group of officials stood in the courtyard of the ancient family, although the ancient family is now in decline, but the hall and the mansion can still see the glory of the time.
"Tonight, the county commander was killed by a traitor!
A head catcher led by a head catcher was talking to Gu Qing, the head of the Gu family who rushed out in a hurry, who was Gu Tian's father, and Gu Qing only coped with it.
"Search!"
As soon as Gu Tian entered the compound, he heard a wave of his head-catching hand, wanting to search the ancient mansion.
"Wait!"
Gu Tian walked forward quickly and hugged his fist towards the headcatcher.
"I don't know what is the important matter for Wei Zhutou to come to my Gu house late at night?"
"Hmph! We were ordered to search for the murderer of the prefectural commander, and we went to the side!"
Wei Zhutou said impatiently, the county commander was suddenly killed, and the master gave a death order to arrest the murderer before opening the city gate.
"Wei Zhutou can be sure that the murderer is in my Gu family?!" Gu Tian said without humility or arrogance.
"Hmph! Because I don't know, I want to search! Why do you talk so much!"
"Wei Zhutou, although my ancient family is in decline, but I am still among the wealthy gentry family, I am afraid it is not appropriate to search my house so easily, right?!"
If it weren't for the protection of the Chen family, your Gu family would have been out of Shiyuan County a long time ago, what kind of majesty are you doing here?!"
Wei Zhutou's face was angry, and Gu Qing, Gu Tian's father next to him, hurriedly walked over, hunched over and compensated Wei Zhutou.
"Don't talk nonsense!
Wei Zhutou obviously didn't buy the Gu family's accounts, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to call someone to search.
"My lord, there's a drop of blood here, the blood hasn't dried yet, it looks like it's just been dripping here!"
Suddenly, a catcher found a small drop of blood on the inside of the gate, and hurriedly reported to Wei Zhutou.
"Oh?" Wei Zhutou walked over suspiciously, his fingers stained with blood, and put it in front of his nose to sniff.
"Hmph! Do you hand it over yourself, or do I search for it myself?! This murderer is in your Gu family!"
Wei Zhutou pulled out his saber and pointed at Gu Qing angrily.
"It's... There is no murderer in our ancient family!
Gu Qing didn't know it, and was frightened by Wei Zhutou's attack.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Gu Tian turned around and ran, wanting to report to Wu Tian and a few others, but the sharp-eyed Wei Zhutou soon noticed Gu Tian's abnormality, and chased after Gu Tian with a knife.
"The Gu family shields the murderer, and there is no forgiveness for killing!"
Wei Zhutou didn't forget to turn around and shout, and suddenly a scream sounded in the compound.
Gu Tian heard the screams, looked back, and saw that the Gu family compound was on fire, and the figures were flying.
The Gu family has declined, and since the death of the only cultivator, Brother Gu Tian, the Gu family has completely degenerated into an ordinary family without immortal cultivators.
Gu Tian, who was powerless, could only watch his old father and family members being killed in the compound by the hands of the officials.
A sense of sorrow welled up in his heart, he roared, turned around and wanted to rush forward and fight to the death with Wei Zhutou.
"Tutu Tu Tu Tu..."
At this time, a gunshot rang out, and Wei Zhutou, who was rushing to the front, was instantly beaten into a sieve.
It was Wu Tian and the others who noticed the movement in the courtyard of the front hall and rushed over, and the three brothers of Wu Kun quickly killed the officials in the compound, but it was too late, and there were seven or eight corpses of the ancient family lying in the courtyard.
"Father!" Gu Tianfei pounced in front of an old man who was over half a hundred years old, looking up to the sky and crying.
Wu Tian looked at the scene in front of him, and a deep sense of self-blame came to his heart, only blaming himself for not thinking it through, which affected the Gu family.
"Brother Gu, I'm sorry..."
Wu Tian walked behind Gu Tian, patted Gu Tian on the shoulder, and said softly.
"It's okay, Brother Wu, I don't blame you for this, it's my Gu family who deserves this catastrophe!" Gu Tian said in a hoarse voice, but his words were unusually calm, without a trace of emotion.
But this made Wu Tian blame himself even more, if Gu Tian scolded him, he would feel better.
