On the Huizhou side, Gu Xianting had already learned that her mother's family had suffered a misfortune and was dealing with the funeral arrangements with grief. Also present were Gu Wanru, the old head of the Gu family in Suzhou, and Gu Xuan, the new head of the Gu family.
When Gu Xuan came this time, he brought with him nine of the eighteen tigers of the Gu family and the tiger guards of the Gu family. He obviously planned to take revenge and settle the matter.
In a temporary tent, officials of all sizes, including the governor of Huizhou, were trembling with fear, fearing that Gu Xuan would be angry with them and use them to pay homage to the Ling Huiyuan family.
Gu Xuan said solemnly: "Master Li, the seven-day deadline has expired. Can we find out the real culprit?"
Li Zaidao, the governor of Huizhou, couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead when he heard this. For the past seven days, he had gone all out to investigate, but in the end he couldn't find even a single clue.
Moreover, several local green-clad detectives who assisted in the investigation, several Fei-clad detectives who came down from the six doors, and one purple-clad detective all disappeared, as if they had evaporated. This shows how deep the water behind this is, and how deep this current is.
How powerful was the force that killed Gu Quan?
Li Zaidao held it in for a long time, then asked: "Master Gu, have you received a letter from the Li family in Luoyang?"
He was a member of the Li clan in Luoyang, so he couldn't cope with this incident, so he wrote to ask the leader of the Li clan for help.
Gu Xuan took out a letter from his arms: "This is the letter Li Huichao wrote to me, but I haven't read it yet."
Li Zaidao was both surprised and delighted: "Please read it, Master San."
Gu Xuan said calmly: "I don't plan to watch it." The implication is that he won't even give Luoyang Li Clan face.
Li Zaidao said hurriedly: "Third Master, I am writing a letter of trust to Master Li for assistance. Perhaps Mr. Li has found out the real culprit."
Gu Xuan then opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he sneered, crumpled the letter into a ball and turned it into ashes. Obviously, this letter, which pleaded for Li Zaidao but did not find out the real murderer, did not satisfy him.
Li Zaidao turned pale, knowing that he could only die to atone for his sins.
At this moment, there was a noise outside. Some people shouted that my uncle was here, while others shouted that Mr. Xie was here.
Everyone saw a dusty young man striding into the tent under the leadership of Zhi Duohu.
"Third Master!"
Gu Xuan stood up happily: "Thank you Fu!" Gu Xuan was very happy to see that Xie Fu was safe and sound. While dealing with the funeral affairs of Linghui Garden these days, he was also very worried about Xie Fu's safety. From the moment he saw Qi King Qin Chuzhen
, he knew who Xie Fu’s enemy was.
The eyes of everyone in the account fell on Xie Fu. This person should be Xie Fu, the famous military governor of Huainan Road, and the uncle of the Gu family in Huizhou.
Xie Fu said in a deep voice: "Third Master, the first culprit has been eliminated!"
When Gu Xuan heard this, he cheered loudly. Huizhou officials, big and small, breathed a sigh of relief. Their eyes fell on the box in Xie Fu's hand. Could it be that the box contained the head of the culprit?
Gu Xuan's eyes also fell on the box, and Xie Fu said: "Third Master, find a place convenient for conversation."
Gu Xuan waved to Li Zaidao and others: "You guys step back first."
As if Li Zaidao and others were granted amnesty, they did not even dare to know who the culprit was.
After the Huizhou officials retreated, there were still Gu Xuan's people in the tent. Xie Fu glanced at them and Gu Xuan immediately understood: "There are many wise tigers, so you all should retreat too."
Xie Fu then opened the box. When Gu Xuan saw the head inside the box, his expression was startled and he said sadly: "Who is the murderer?"
"Qin Xiaofu!"
Gu Xuan naturally knew what this name represented. This great hatred might not be avenged even if the entire Gu family risked their lives, so he asked softly: "Is he dead?"
The news of the late emperor's death had long spread throughout the Daguan Kingdom, but it did not mean that Qin Xiaofu was really dead.
Xie Fu nodded: "His other identity is Zhenwu Xuanzhenren, the leader of the Earth Sect."
Gu Xuan's expression was slightly surprised: "The murder in Linghui Garden was caused by the Dao Sect?"
Xie Fu shook his head: "I have asked Zhang Lingluo to find out the matter and find out everyone involved in it."
Gu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Okay, thank you, Fu, for you to go ahead and do it." The implication was that he would not hesitate to become an enemy of the Taoist sect.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "There is no need to trouble Third Master with this matter. Xie Fu will do it well."
Gu Xuan said calmly: "Thank you, Fu, you don't have to be afraid of implicating me in this matter. Ever since I took action against Qin Chuzhen and the golden-armored warrior, I have been involved."
"The third master protected Xie Fu's family, but Xie Fu has not yet thanked the third master."
"What are you talking about? You and I are a family. Your business is my business. Over there in Xianting..."
Gu Xuan choked her as he spoke, but was speechless. After a while, he sighed and said, "You are her husband, and now you are the only relative she has left."
After a while, Xie Fu saw Xiu'er, who had long cried until her eyes were swollen: "Uncle."
Xie Fu tried his best to control his emotions and asked softly: "Xiu'er, where is Xianting?"
Xiu'er said sadly: "My lady has not eaten or drank these days, and she refuses to talk to my maid. My uncle, you must persuade her to cheer up."
Xie Fu nodded.
"Miss, my uncle is back."
Gu Xianting, who was wearing linen mourning clothes, sat motionless. His originally rosy cheeks were already skeletal and he was extremely haggard. He looked like a walking zombie and ignored Xiu'er's cries.
Xiu'er called out softly again: "Miss, my uncle is back."
Gu Xianting seemed to have closed himself off and showed no reaction.
Xiu'er whispered: "Young lady is like this these days."
Xie Fu nodded and signaled Xiu'er to go out first. He walked up to Gu Xianting and said softly: "Xianting."
Gu Xianting didn't see him, and even his expression was frozen, without any reaction.
Xie Fu hugged her: "Xianting, it's me, I'm back."
After about a few breaths, Gu Xianting's body began to tremble, his dull eyes began to gather, and he burst into tears.
Xie Fu felt guilty and grieved, and said: "I have avenged my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Gu Xianting just cried, but Xie Fu comforted him instead: "Cry, just cry as much as you want..."
After some venting, Gu Xianting also returned to the human world from hell. Although his face was full of sadness, he had some consciousness and looked at the box on the table gently.
Although Xie Fu couldn't bear it, he still had to face it: "It's my father-in-law."
Gu Xianting opened the box with trembling hands. When he saw his father's head, he fainted on the spot.
Xie Fu stayed by Gu Xianting's side every step of the way. Gu Xianting woke up from nightmares several times, cried when he woke up, and fell asleep when he was tired of crying.
It wasn't until midnight that Fu Xie coaxed her to drink some porridge and told her that she needed to cheer up as she had to prepare for the funeral of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The next day, Zhang Lingluo came back with dozens of heads: "Uncle Fu, no one involved in this matter will be left alive."
Xuanzong and others spread out several cloth bags and sprinkled dozens of heads with blood on the ground.
Xie Fu felt somewhat comforted and ordered the head to be taken down and used to pay homage to all the dead souls in Linghui Garden on the day of the funeral.
Asked in a low voice: "Ling Luo, I asked you to investigate the life and death of my mother-in-law. Is there any result?"
Zhang Lingluo said sadly: "Uncle Fu, I questioned several people in succession, and they all said they saw Vice-Zun Lu buried in the sea of fire with their own eyes."
Even though he knew this was the outcome, Xie Fu couldn't help but feel frivolous and weak. How could Qin Xiaofu let her go...
"Uncle Fu, where is my Aunt Ting?"
Xie Fu didn't want Zhang Lingluo to disturb Xianting, thinking that he would help with the funeral arrangements these days, so he finally said: "Lingluo, please take more care of your Aunt Ting these days."
Zhang Lingluo nodded.
When they were in Suzhou, Zhang Lingluo and Gu Xianting had developed a deep relationship. When she saw Gu Xianting's miserable look, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The two women cried together while talking...
A grand funeral was held the next day. Dozens of heads were listed on the case, which was eye-catching. They paid homage to the souls of the dead in Linghui Garden, and were later buried in the Gu Family Cemetery at the foot of Huangshan Mountain.
Gu Xianting stood silently in front of the tombstone. Others did not come forward to persuade him and consciously left one after another. For others, it was just a funeral, but for Gu Xianting, it was the loss of a close relative.
Gu Wanru, the head of the Gu family's hometown, always treated Gu Xianting as his own granddaughter and stayed with her until the end. Seeing that it was getting late, he walked up to Fu Xie and said softly: "Master Xie, you are the only relative in Xianting." Now he is the only one.
Her husband is her closest relative, and others can only be considered relatives.
Xie Fuying said: "Mr. Gu, don't worry."
Gu Wanru nodded and left accompanied by Gu Xuan.
The scenery here is beautiful. The lake is like emerald inlaid among the mountains. The lake is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and the green hills of the mountains.
As the sun sets in the west, golden light fills the earth, and the sunset shines on the mountains, making it colorful and beautiful.
Xie Fu couldn't help but think of the scene where he and Lu Yehua lived and died together in the fairy magic circle. It was she who carried him across mountains and seas regardless of life and death, never leaving...
When I think of her being buried here forever, I feel sad from the bottom of my heart, and I spread my voice and say:
The glittering golden light is flying lightly over the pale lake, the breeze is in my heart, the setting sun is like rouge staining my face, and my eyebrows are plump and hairy.
There are falling morning stars in the wind, and a pair of silhouettes, as if in a painting, and a golden orchid is like carrying a heavy cloud on its shoulders at night, covering the mud to capture the vermilion.
The reflection of the green mountains shines on the pale lake, you can smell the color of the water and the light of the mountains, the floating clouds are like fluff, and you are wandering freely in the sky, as if you are free and free.
She was yesterday...
Xie Fu sang, his throat was blocked by hoarseness, and tears flowed from his heart.
After handling the funeral of their father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xie Fu and Gu Xianting returned to Suzhou. In order to let Gu Xianting resolve his grief, they went boating and walked along the waterway. They were accompanied by Zhang Lingluo, Chen Qinglan, and Xiuer.
As Gu Xianting's personal maid, Xiu'er did not dare to touch Gu Xianting's sadness and was cautious in everything.
On the contrary, Zhang Lingluo joked with Gu Xianting every day, and finally made Gu Xianting smile, and the gloom on his face dissipated a little.
Xie Fu saw it and was greatly relieved. Yes, the deceased has passed away, but the living are like this, so they should mourn and accept changes.
In fact, the grief in his heart was no less than that of Gu Xianting, but he buried it deeply and covered it with smiles and resignation.
It was originally a journey of several days by horseback, but it took more than twenty days by water to resist Suzhou.
As soon as he arrived at Tantai Mansion, Tantai Heqing greeted Gu Xianting, completely ignoring Xie Fu, her husband after an absence for many days.
It was only at this moment that Xie Fu, who was busy and busy, saw his son who was several months old. Although he was a boy, he looked more like Tantai He Qingduo.
Tantai Heqing was originally a gentle Suzhou beauty. Xie Fu could already imagine that when his son grew up, he would be as handsome as Lu Wenlin. Taking Lu Wuyuan's lesson into account, he secretly made up his mind to teach her well so as not to become a disaster in the future.
.
He went back to the room, sat down, and said to Xia'er: "Xia'er, let me hold the child."
Xia Er gently handed the sleeping child to Xie Fu's hand: "Master, be careful not to wake the child."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Don't you think I can't take care of the child? I forgot that the last time He Qing adopted a child, it was me who took action to appease the child."
Xia Er smiled and said, "That's right."
Xie Fu took the child and asked, "Have you chosen a name?"
"It's already a few months old, so it doesn't have a name yet. I originally planned to wait for you to come back to name the child, but finally asked Mr. Ming to name it."
Xie Fu asked: "What is it called?"
"One dynasty is named Xie Chao."
Xie Fu immediately understood Mr. Ming's intention and said with a smile: "Okay."
At this moment, the child woke up and looked towards Xie Fu with a pair of big eyes like his mother. Xie Fu couldn't help but smile lovingly when he looked at these lovely eyes.
The child suddenly started crying, and no matter how much Xie Fu coaxed him, he would not stop crying.
Xia'er said with a smile: "Master, my child looks at you."
Just then Xie Guangde walked in: "Look at you, the child doesn't even recognize you. I'll come, I'll come."
After saying that, he took the child from Xie Fu and coaxed him with a smile: "Come here, Grandpa Zu, hold him."
The child stopped crying as soon as it arrived in Xie Guangde's arms. Xie Guangde said proudly: "Did you see that I brought you up like this?"
At this moment, the child's hot urine splashed on Xie Guangde's face. Xie Guangde chuckled: "Good boy, I have the same virtues as your father."
Xia'er chuckled: "Old Master, did the young master also like to spit urine on people's faces when he was a child?" Everyone who has hugged the young master has been affected by this trick. She has also encountered it several times, and Xiaoqiu is the most popular.
Xie Guangde responded: "No, a dove will urinate as soon as it is raised, and whoever you catch will urinate, sooner or later you will also be a romantic in the future."
Xia'er's face turned slightly red, but Xie Fu felt warm after hearing this. He was indeed raised by his grandfather, who was both a father and a mother.
Xia Er handed Xie Guangde a handkerchief so that he could wipe his face. At this time, the child started to cry again.
"Watch grandpa teach you how to take care of children, dry them and stop crying."
While Xie Guangde was talking, he wiped the child Jiujiu slowly, but he kept crying after drying it.
Xia Er reminded: "Old Master, the young master wants to eat Nai."
Xie Guangde suddenly realized: "I can't handle this, I have to go find her mother." As he said this, he handed the child to Xia'er.
As soon as the child was in Xia'er's arms, his mouth instinctively slurped on Xia'er's breast. Xia'er avoided it and said: "Young master, I don't have..." and simply walked away in shame.
After Xia'er left with the child, the grandfather and grandson could sit down and talk.
"I didn't know until I got to Tantai Mansion that such a big thing happened to the Gu family in Huizhou. Fu'er, I, the Xie family in Yangzhou, have been close friends with the Gu family in Huizhou for hundreds of years, and Xianting is your wife. This revenge needs to be avenged!"
Xie Fu nodded: "I have beheaded all the murderers to commemorate the souls of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
