One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 327 Gulin
Su He frowned, and he was about to refute at the moment, but before he spoke, Mei Heng, who had been silent for a long time, sneered and looked at the person who spoke.

"There are thousands of people in this world who can do this. If the seniors start from this point, I'm afraid they don't want to solve the problem!"

Mei Heng's aura was full, and his eyes were directly fixed on the speaker.

It was a burly old man who thought he had gray hair. He was sitting on a bench with a golden knife. There were a lot of people standing behind him, most of them were his juniors or people who followed him.

Seeing the look in Mei Heng's eyes, the man straightened his back without showing weakness.

"Messi makes sense, but you said that there are thousands of people in this world who can quietly and silently make my life Gu disappear, but those thousands of people are elsewhere, and they have nothing to do with this matter. What's the connection! The patriarch of my ancient family has always been good-natured, but an accident happened after your arrival, does it really have nothing to do with you?"

This is a person with a lot of language and logic. He puts the words that deepen his impression on the front, and then distracts his attention with another question, which makes people subconsciously accept his previous setting, instead of refuting, but gradually falling into his logic.

The smile on Mei Heng's lips evoked, a pair of phoenix eyes were full of brilliance, and the heartbeats of the few little girls around couldn't help speeding up.

"If the death of the patriarch has nothing to do with me, why should this official sit here and listen to the accusations of the predecessors! Since the predecessors have said this, then this official will also come to sort out the origins of the story!"

Mei Heng followed the trend and did not deny that he had played any role in this matter.

This made the person's rhetoric immediately useless. When he narrowed his eyes, and was ready to use an unreasonable way to forcibly incite the emotions of the surrounding Gu family, Gu Shuang, who was the first, said.

"This is also the reason why the old man left the messenger here. As a fifth-rank official of the imperial court, the messenger came to my ancient home in person. Naturally, he didn't come to play in the mountains and rivers! If it wasn't for the accidental death of the patriarch, these few The official of the Tianjing Division also came to our ancient village to investigate an important case."

Gu Shuang explained the truth clearly, so that those who were just around the corner had no chance to attack.

Mei nodded slightly to Gu Shuang, and told everyone about her case of tracing the corpse sect.

He was concise and to the point, and explained clearly to everyone what the Corpse Yuzong did outside.

"The matter of the corpse control sect is deeply involved. This kind of crooked sect is not tolerated by ordinary people, and the laws of heaven and the country are not tolerated. It must be eliminated! I want to come to you, and you don't want your children who have been carefully educated and raised in your family to be arrested for no reason. Drown with a living body in that stinking medicine keg!"

Mei Heng's words touched some simple villagers more or less, but the people sitting on the bench did not have much emotion.

Seeing this, Mei Heng continued.

"When I was investigating the corpse sect, I happened to get a handbook. The owner of the handbook was a famous incense teacher in the Kaicheng of Jinhaichuan Gate. His name was Liu Huaixiang, and he provided incense for the corpse sect. According to the records of this person's handwriting, he once used a living person to test medicines, aiming at the Gu family's life-threatening worms, and made a medicinal pill called 'Gu Repelling Pill'."

"Ordinary people take this medicine to repel snakes and worms, and if someone who was born with the life-sucking Gu takes this medicine, they will die in less than a quarter of an hour. It will also show signs of poisoning due to the poison released by the worms before they die."

"This point, the blood of those deworming people will definitely not be able to do it."

"If you want to find out the truth, you can check the internal organs of those corpses to see if there are any traces of poisoning, and then you can know what method the person used to kill the patriarch."

After Mei Heng finished speaking, he sighed again.

"This Liu Huaixiang is also an amazing person. However, the way this living person tries medicines is also unconscionable. I don't know where he got these many people who have been vaccinated with life Gu since childhood. I don't know. The families of these people know the truth."

Mei Heng's words made most of the people on the field change their faces.

The ancient family is prosperous, and there are many people walking around. In the past, everyone would not go too far, and they would come back after a walk.

But I don't know when it started. Several families in the village became more and more prosperous with each passing day. They brought back a lot of things from outside, which made many people in the village jealous.

In this way, the upsurge of going out of the village to make a living does not know when it started, but it gradually occupied most of the families' leisure time, allowing more and more ancient family members to leave the village.

As more people went out, those who never came back also increased.

Some people have a bad life in the village, and others will think that they have gone out to have a good life and are unwilling to come back.

Some people sent back news that they died unexpectedly outside, and the people who went out first in the village would also help to find them, but as the days passed, no one came back.

The proportion of these people who do not come back is not high, and the Ikai River next to them is a messy place. Everyone thinks that this is the price of going out. It seems reasonable on the surface, and people who have lost their families and children can only be Just watch the rest of the children more tightly.

But now that everyone heard Mei Heng's words, they found an abnormality in a trance.

Many people have cold hands and feet, and how painful it is for a living person to test medicines. No one knows better than the people of the Gu family. There are such punishments in the ancient family's clan rules. , the whole village will be asked to watch.

They will be poured a concoction that was found in the forbidden area but not yet clear. The concoction is very harmful to people. After the poison enters the body, the life Gu in their body will desperately devour those organs. Erysipelas, which makes the wrong person not die on the spot, but will survive the repeated torture of erysipelas for a long time.

The executioner will record the changes in the reaction of the tortured person at every moment, and determine the medicinal properties and toxicity of the medicine through the changes of the people who test the medicine.

This kind of inhuman punishment, if it wasn't for the clansmen who made a big mistake, would not have used it at all.

But this way has become the fate of many ancient family members, and they have been subjected to such torture even in the years after they left the village.

This also made the people of the Gu family feel cold. If people outside discovered the characteristics of the ancient family's trial medicine, what kind of fate would their family face in the future.

For a while, emotions such as anger, hatred, confusion, helplessness, worry, panic, etc. spread in this yard. People who had been very disdainful of Mei Heng before subconsciously regarded Mei Heng as a life-saving straw.

"Since Mei Shi said so, does that mean that you already have evidence to prove that in our ancient family, who is the person from the corpse control sect!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, there were a lot of echoing voices around. The panic in these people's eyes did not fade away, but there was already a pleasing smile on their faces.

Gu Shuang frowned and did not speak, but a different voice spoke.

"Everyone, although the Minister of Messaging has evidence, this matter is our Gu family's own business. It doesn't make sense for outsiders to interfere!"

It was a person sitting not far from Gu Shuang who said this.

This man is already very old, out of breath, sitting on a bench and leaning on a cane in both hands to support his lean body, as he spoke, the goatee on his face shook. Shivering, a little funny while being serious.

If someone else said this, those panicked people would refute one or two, but if he said it, everyone just fell silent.

This man is not only a detached person, but he has been dedicated to the development of the Gu family during the decades of his life, and he will definitely not be a traitor of the Gu family.

On the contrary, his words made everyone calm down gradually.

If the corpse master is really from the Gu family, then the people of the ancient family should take care of it themselves, and let outsiders take care of what it is like!
Although many people still think that Mei Heng, the official of the imperial court, is more convincing, but in such an era, in the realm of Nanhuang, everyone has come here from generation to generation, and they do not trust Mei Heng much.

The initial panic was over, and no matter what their thoughts were, everyone acquiesced to what the old man said.

Mei Heng didn't care about it. His eyes were still on the person who questioned him at the beginning. That person was still sitting there with a golden knife, but looked at Mei Heng with a gloomy look in his eyes.

As the Great Elder, Gu Shuang would stand up to calm everyone's emotions every time things were about to get out of control, and this time was no exception.

"Uncle Twelve is very reasonable, naturally we can't let outsiders interfere in the affairs of our ancient family..."

Before she could finish her words, a middle-aged woman in the corner seemed to have reacted. She screamed suddenly, turned around and rushed towards a man not far away.

"Ah! Ah! Gu Ada, you've returned the life of my seedlings! Ah..."

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her two thin palms were like a pair of chicken feet, with dirty dark yellow nails clasped on the man's neck, her cheeks twitched, and her teeth creaked.

The one who was strangled by her neck was a thin middle-aged man. The man was not tall, his eyes were big and protruding, and he had some shrewdness who was good at drilling camps.

But this little shrewdness has no effect at this time. His bulging eyes were even more bulging when the woman pinched him, but he himself couldn't say a word.

His mother-in-law stood beside him until the person was thrown at him, and then he realized the situation in front of him.

"Sister-in-law Daqing! Sister-in-law Daqing, what are you doing!"

That Gu Ada's daughter-in-law was not a powerful person, she was weak and weak, and looked malnourished, and she couldn't pull the crazy woman off with all her strength.

The movement here disturbed too many people, and in an instant, even the old men and women sitting on the benches stood up.

"Pull them away!"

"It's about to die..."

"What a sin, what is this doing, Daqing daughter-in-law, is Daqing's daughter-in-law crazy?"

"..."

The men and women around him hurried over to pull the woman. The goatee old man who had just rejected the clan's proposal leaned on crutches and swayed every step of the way, still baring his few teeth and roaring at the people around him.

"Hurry up... quickly pull away, try hard, have to try..."

Only a group of people from Mei Heng and a few people from Gu Shuang in the distance sat there calmly.

Daqing's daughter-in-law is not easy to mess with. She has been brooding over the death of her son all these years. From time to time, she has to inquire about the situation outside. He will also inquire about the specific circumstances.

This man is also very daring. He didn't say anything about his son's death, and he used the pretext of inquiring about the news to knock out a lot of the other party's benefits.

The new hatred and old hatred and years of forbearance broke out at once, and the woman's life was lost, and she pressed on Gu Ada, her hands were like iron clamps, and they did not relax the other's neck at all.

She has gone crazy!
Others thought she was too strong, so they didn't let go, but only a few knew that her whole body was shaking because of anger, and her hands were already stiff. In this case, it would be difficult to open her hands. extremely difficult.

The men in her family desperately pushed their fellow clansmen who slapped the woman beside her, and at the same time endured the pain and turned around to persuade their mother-in-law.

"Hu'er! We still have wheat and rice! Calm down!"

A group of people was making a fuss, and even the old-fashioned sound of a few clans poking at the stick could not be heard.

In such an atmosphere, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and Gu Xiu walked in with a group of worshippers.

"Stop fighting!"

A middle-aged voice sounded, and a tall middle-aged man shouted at the crowd.

He was so angry that his dantian sounded like a bell, and all of a sudden those clansmen stopped their movements.

The middle-aged man stepped forward a few steps, slapped each of his palm-like hands, pushed everyone who gathered together, and finally stood in front of Daqing's daughter-in-law.

Gu Ada's face became the color of pig liver, and he was about to die when he saw it.

And the Daqing daughter-in-law seemed to be unable to hear any sound for a while, muttering something in her mouth, staring at Gu Ada's face with red eyes.

The middle-aged man sighed leisurely, waved his hand and patted the woman's neck. The stiff woman suddenly closed her eyes, her body softened, and she fell to one side.

Her family's man quickly caught her, and at this time, Gu Ada also took a breath and got up, staggering to get up, without strength, and even stretched his feet to kick the woman who had fainted.

The people around him hurriedly stopped him, but it was the middle-aged man who rescued him in the end.

He slapped Gu Ada on the back with a slap.

"What do you think this place is, so many clan elders worship and sit here just to break the lawsuit for you?"

Gu Ada was slapped with a slap by this man, and the bloodshot in his eyes also faded a lot. Hala Hala was panting, and his whole body was soft and powerless.

After the middle-aged man said this, he turned his head and walked to Gu Shuang to bow.

"Auntie is fine."

There was a smile in Gu's eyes, and his body relaxed a little. This person is the mainstay of her faction, and she is the confidence to sit here calmly except for her seniority.

"Lin'er is very polite."

Gulin got up and sat directly beside Gu Shuang, but no one around dared to say more.
