One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 332 Procrastination
In the courtyard of the ancient family ancestral hall, the two forces of the ancient family are still confronting each other.

Gu Jin and Gu Shuang both refused to give in an inch, but compared to the two sides, Gu Shuang's sense of oppression was obviously stronger.

"Gu Shuang, do you really want to be my enemy?"

Gu Jin no longer called Gu Shuang's post, but called him by his first name. Obviously, Gu Shuang's refusal had exhausted his patience.

He knows where the bottom line of the ancient family is. They take the concept of clan too seriously, stick to one corner, and don't want to make progress. They obviously have so many resources, but one or two only want to live a farming life!
If the Gu family is willing to support him, he can unite into Haichuan within two years and face Yunhaizhou. What is Yunhaizhou, where prosperous and rich, compared to this closed village, it is like a paradise!

At that time, the people of the Gu family will move to Yunhaizhou and become the real overlord of the party. What's wrong?
Such as Yunhai City and the Ming family, such as Xuancheng and the Feng family...

They are a killer organization, a fortune teller, how can they compare with their ancient family!
But now people are rich and glorious, but they are also hiding in the mountains and drinking blood, why?
Just relying on her Gu Shuang holding the power and don't want to let go?
There are many thoughts in his mind, but he can't express it in his mouth. At this moment, even forced by the stubborn and old-fashioned ideas of Gu Shuang, he dare not admit his relationship with the corpse control sect.

"Look at how many people in our Gu family dislike your style. You are so unconvincing, what qualifications do you have to punish me!"

Gu Jin is not willing to be the enemy of the Gu family unless it is a last resort.

His goal is the entire Gu family. If he exposes himself, he can only take away the people he is now. This conflicts with his goal. If he can use a more gentle way, he still wants to use a more gentle way. Way.

That's why he has worked so hard for so many years!
Gu Shuang couldn't help sneering when he heard his words.

"When you are old, why can't you see through your mind? If you don't obey discipline, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Jin didn't expect that with so many people putting pressure on Gu Shuang together, she couldn't make her change her mind, and the resentment in her heart was even higher.

But just as swords were drawn between the two sides, a chuckle suddenly sounded.

The laughter was not high at first, but as the laughter became stronger, it finally caught the attention of both sides on the court.

Before the power in Gu's eyes dissipated, he looked straight at the source of the laughter.

I saw Mei Heng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, laughing in the direction of the two at this time. His eyes were full of jokes, which made Gu Jin and Gu Shuang both a little unhappy.

"Boy! What are you laughing at!"

Gu Jin couldn't hide his contempt for everyone in the Tianjing Division, even if the other party was a fifth-rank envoy.

Hearing this, Mei Heng was not unhappy at being despised, but pushed the wheelchair forward and stood up from the corner.

"What is this official laughing at, doesn't this senior know?"

Contrary to his low-key attitude, Mei Heng crossed Gu Shuang and directly aimed at Gu Jin, and then said without waiting for everyone to speak.

"You say you, you keep saying you want evidence, but if the evidence is in front of you, I don't know if you would say the same thing?"

Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

He felt that Gu Shuang was too tight, and wanted to find a way to let the other party relax. Mei Heng came to the door and told the evidence!The tail behind him was neatly tidied up, and he really wasn't afraid of what evidence Mei Heng could come up with!

"Boy, although you are an official of the imperial court, what you say in my ancient family's territory must be well-founded!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look in Gu Shuang's direction, with the joy of watching the excitement in his eyes, as if he was joking that Gu Shuang was disturbed by the people he brought with him.

"Big elder..."

Gu Jin spoke in a low voice, instantly attracting the attention of several people around him, and when Gu Shuang looked over, he just said.

"Your purpose, the old man is also clear!"

Gu Shuang acted like this, obviously she was already prepared. She actually wanted to attack Gu Jin for a long time, but there was no suitable opportunity. The death of the patriarch was just an excuse, and the people of the Gu family were arrested to test the medicine, and it was just an introduction. .

Her real goal lies in how to take down the ancient ban and completely solve the problem of the ancient family.

It's a pity that she was well prepared, but after all, she was one step too late.

Gu Shuangqiong figured out, but did not take the last step, giving Gu Jin a chance to breathe. At this moment, the courtyard door was wide open, and a person standing outside the courtyard took in the scene in front of his eyes and quietly retreated from the crowd. .

Gu Jin has been operating the Corpse Control Sect for more than [-] years, of course, there are not only a few people like the Gu family.

Even if Gu Shuang blocks the news, she can't really let those who are prepared can't release any news.

What is this place? This is Gujia Village. Everyone in the village has their own life Gu. As long as they have made an agreement to release the Gu worms, these patrolling people can guard the people, the birds, and the guards. Bugs?

Mei Heng's eyelids drooped slightly, and he seemed to feel something, but he didn't stop anyone from leaving. He looked in the direction of Gu Jin and said.

"I do have your evidence in my hands, but it's not what you think, the evidence of the Corpse Control Sect!"

Gu Jinfeng lightly denied it.

"Envoy Mei, don't talk nonsense, since you don't have any evidence, don't blame the corpse sect on the old man!"

Mei Heng nodded, looking like a well-behaved junior.

"What the seniors said is, but I have long heard that the Gu family's family rules are strict, and it is a capital crime to fight in the same room, and it must be punished by gouging out the heart. This is true!"

Mei Heng seemed to be asking, but there was no executioner on the ground outside, so he was already answering this question.

Gu Shuang turned his head to look at the silent Su He, and then focused his attention on Mei Heng again.

"As it is!"

Mei Heng nodded.

"There is a piece of evidence in this official's hands that cannot prove that this senior is related to the Corpse Control Sect... but it can prove that he is related to the death of the nobleman."

As soon as Mei Heng's voice fell, Gu Shuang and Gu Jin were both stunned.

Although the cause of the incident was indeed Gu Yong's death, in the final analysis, this incident was not the fundamental issue between the two parties.

Gu Shuang did not expect that at this time, someone really talked about the murderer who killed Gu Yong, but Gu Jin laughed and looked at Mei Heng.

"Hahaha... boy, you are so interesting! Gu Yong was not killed by the old man. What evidence do you have to prove that he is related to the old man?"

Mei Heng clapped his hands, and outside the yard walked into a Xuanwei from the Tianjing Division. He had a flat face and held a few confessions in his hands. He respectfully saluted Mei Heng, and then presented the confession directly to Mei Heng.

Mei Heng casually flipped through it twice, the attention of the people around him were all attracted by his actions, but the whole yard was full of people but seemed a little quiet, on the contrary, unknown people outside the yard were chattering and worrying about something.

Mei Heng looked over with a serious expression, and then waved his hand, and Xuan Wei, who was beckoning, explained the situation to everyone.

That Xuanwei clenched his fists at everyone and explained.

"These are all the findings of my investigation into the death of the patriarch Gu Yong."

"Not only did the fire situation be found out one by one, but also with the consent of the people in the clan, the body was simply inspected..."

"First of all, the patriarch Gu Yong died of a fire, not poisoning. There are six fires, and one of them is next to the victim!"

"They were brought to the fire one by one after being unconscious, and some people also locked the door to prevent them from waking up and running away. Part of the copper lock that locked the door was burned, but it was still possible to accurately identify what was locked before. Location……"

Listening to his words, Gu Shuang's gaze unconsciously turned to Su He's direction again, Su He still stood there steadily, as if he didn't care what everyone on the field was saying.

Gu Shuang sighed, Gulin beside her frowned.

"Messier, why don't he tell the conclusion directly!"

Mei Heng put away the paper in his hand, looked at the man and nodded, and Xuanwei immediately skipped the investigation process and went straight to the topic.

"According to the time of the fire, it is not easy to set fire in six places at the same time, not to mention that this wooden building has done a good job of setting fire, and it is not easy to set it on fire. From this clue, it is easy to determine who is behind the scenes. A combustion accelerant, which is kerosene, was used."

Kerosene is kerosene. In Da Zhao, because of the popularity of glass, most of the lighting tools are kerosene lamps, so every household will hoard some. However, if you want to light a wooden building, it will not be a star and a half. It is really good to use this as an entry point. .

Speaking of this place, Gu Jin's expression has not changed, there are many people in the village who have kerosene, so it is too far-fetched to say that what he did is too far-fetched!
"I started from here and went to investigate the people in the village who have a lot of kerosene storage on weekdays. Coincidentally, these families still have something to do with this ancient predecessor. Of course, it would be too arbitrary to say this, but, During the investigation, I found that the kerosene of these people has been reduced by more than half, and each household has only a little enough for household use..."

Gu Jin heard this and looked at Xuanwei with a sneer.

"Since that's the case, you should ask what the situation is with these people, and it's really arbitrary to judge that I have a problem! Besides, who allowed you to walk around as an outsider? Now that my ancient clan chief is dead, you The little Tianjing Si Xuanwei is wandering around in my ancient village, I think you are more suspicious!"

The expression on Xuanwei's face remained unchanged, and he didn't show any hesitation or flinch in the face of Gu Jin's groundless accusations.

"The discovery of those kerosene is not the basis for my judgment that you are related to this matter, specifically because, when I asked the families of these people, I found that they all received news about last night, and came to pass the news, It's your little son!"

When he saw Gu Jin and wanted to speak, Xuanwei raised his hand to signal for him to wait.

"I went to him from a rigorous point of view, my original intention was just to ask about the situation, but he came up with a killer move. In order to prevent him from being charged with assassinating a court official, I could only help him. He was tied and brought here, why don't you ask yourself to see if he is the mastermind of the arson case..."

Gu Jin's complexion finally changed, he looked at Mei Heng and Xuanwei sullenly, his old face pulled very long.

Seeing this, Mei Heng chuckled lightly and put away a few pieces of paper in his hand, as if to remind someone and as if to stimulate someone.

"Let him tell the whereabouts of last night, and what witnesses can explain clearly, no one should be embarrassed!"

Gu Jin's eyelids were drooping, the expression on his face did not change further, but the fist hanging by his side was tightly clenched.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a blue nose and a swollen face was brought in. He was also imprisoned by two Xuanwei from the Tianjing Division. Gu Shuang watched quietly. She did not know or know about these people. When did Mei Heng let people out, and what role did they play in the situation last night?

The man didn't expect so many people to look at him with a look of panic.

"Hurry up and let me go! Dad! Dad saves me, they want to kill me..."

Tianjing Division's Xuanwei looks very decent, but when they do it, they are really Yin!
One of them saw that he was so noisy, and the strength of his subordinates was a little heavier, and he couldn't lift his head when he was overwhelmed, and Gu Jin's beard trembled in anger.

"That's what you asked about. That's how you asked? I'm very suspicious. What my son said was all yours!"

Mei Heng tilted his head and looked at the man on the ground, also with a look of anger.

"How can you be so irresponsible! Even ordinary people have been injured, this is not over! You will be punished by yourself when you go back!"

The three bowed and saluted Mei Heng, and replied in unison.

"Yes!"

Then this matter was revealed lightly, and the interrogation just now will continue...

Gu Shuang sighed deeply, waved to the people on his side, frowned and sat back in place, the muscles on Gulin's face trembled twice, and he was still a little unwilling, but seeing that his aunt had made a statement, After hesitating for two breaths, he sat back down.

In the distance, people from Tianjing Division interrogated Gu Jin's youngest son.

These three people all have thick eyebrows, big eyes and starry eyes. They look very square, but no one wants to. The questions asked by these three people are more tricky than the other, and even people like Gu Jin are a little angry. , he reminded him several times, and his fists were clenched tightly. After that, he simply stopped talking, thinking about waiting for the people outside to come in and take the Gu family and Mei Heng into the pot!
However, his calmness made Gu Shuang vigilant.

She has been the chief elder of the Gu family for decades, and she knows the people of the Gu family thoroughly. Just looking at the performance of Gu Jin today, she thinks of a certain possibility.

She quietly approached Gulin, whispered two words, and then Gulin explained to the person behind him, who hurriedly made a circle and left the yard.

Gu Jin narrowed his eyes, but did not stop him.

Soon, the man ran back from the outside, but his face was very ugly. As soon as he entered the door, regardless of the current situation, he immediately said loudly.

"Elder, something has happened, and there is no news of all the guards in the forbidden area!"

Hearing this, Gu Shuang hadn't had time to experience it, but she stood up in an instant while offering worship not far away.

"What did you say? No news from the guards in the forbidden area?"
