Gu Chengyu went downstairs and looked back, but he couldn't see the group of people anymore. He must have entered the private room upstairs. Gu Chengyu felt that there was something strange about this group of people. He could smell the blood on their bodies. Several of them
They walked sonorously and vigorously, but they all looked gloomy, especially the leader.
"Young gentlemen, are you full?" Shopkeeper Niu was standing downstairs entertaining the guests. When he saw Gu Chengyu and others coming over, he immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Gu Chengyu saw that Shopkeeper Niu's face was glowing and he actually looked a lot fatter. It seemed that he had eaten a lot of food in the restaurant! He pulled Shopkeeper Niu aside and told him to pay more attention to the group of people who just went upstairs to make sure that nothing went wrong.
.
At this time, Gu Chengyu still didn't know that he had passed by an important person.
Afterwards, the group returned to the inn, and Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo to send He Shunian and others back first.
"Sir! The post about the magistrate's banquet has arrived." Ming Yan handed over the post.
Gu Chengyu looked at the post and thought of the first time he went to the backyard of the government office. The woman died, and almost no news came out. Even the candidates he met kept silent. Who would go out and spread rumors about the prefect's family affairs?
Besides, if a girl died, no one would take it seriously.
"Have you finished that matter?" How can Yu be made to stop with just physical torture? Anyway, he has plenty of time. It's not the end of the world, so of course he has to be more restrained in his actions. He can't go around killing people, right? It's just a matter of dealing with it.
Mr. Yu, he has many ways to make Mr. Yu's life worse than death.
"I found a fortune teller. I have been wandering around outside the government office for the past two days. I have already met the prefect Jiang. Things are going very smoothly."
"Well! You are masked, right? You can ask the fortune teller to speed up and work harder. Mr. Yu will be living a leisurely life!"
In fact, the method this time was not very clever. He just found a fortune teller who wandered outside the government office every day. When he met the prefect and Jiang's mother, he told him that his family had committed too many sins. Yesterday was the monthly fortune teller of Jiang's mother.
On the day when I go to the temple to offer incense, the fortune teller is waiting at the door.
It’s not like Magistrate Chiang has had intercourse in the past few years, but they are either dead or in poor appearance. Mother Chiang and Magistrate Chiang have tolerated it, but what they can’t bear is that Magistrate Chiang still has no heir.
At that time, Mother Chiang gave a girl to the prefect of Chiang, and they achieved good things under the pressure of the two of them. Who would have thought that the girl was also a good person, and she got pregnant after just one time. Of course, Mother Chiang had to keep a close eye on the girl, and the girl had room and board.
They were all in Mother Chiang's yard, under Mother Chiang's nose every day.
But when she was five months old, the baby in her belly aborted, taking the baby with her. Mother Jiang was so angry that she fell ill, and it took her half a year to recover before she recovered. From then on, she became even more worried about the family.
She was so disgusted that every time she saw her, she wanted to eat her flesh. This was why Yu had to try it with a silver needle every time before eating food.
If you want to ask how Gu Chengyu knew, of course he had to investigate! This is not a secret. Everyone in the Jiang family knows it. If you give them some money, they can tell you everything.
The person who hates the Yu family the most is, of course, Jiang’s mother. The prefect of Chiang still has no heirs, isn’t it all because of the Yu family?
His method was very simple. He asked the fortune teller and Jiang's mother to tell the magistrate that their family had done too many evil things, which had affected their children. If they did not atone for their sins, they would never have any children in this life.
The method of atonement is very simple, as long as the evildoer has to pray before the Buddha for the rest of his life, repent in front of the Buddha, and atone for his sins throughout his life.
Are there not many women who have been killed by Mrs. Yu before? Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that she has committed crimes. His mother was also a victim. Originally, he also thought that Mrs. Yu was a sad and hateful woman. As long as she did not come to cause trouble, of course he would
He wouldn't care about her. But she insisted on grabbing her, so he had no choice but to fight back. If he wanted to blame her, it would be because she was too obsessed with killing their family.
In this era where mistresses are legal, it’s hard to say who is right and who is wrong!
"Is that fortune teller reliable? Don't collect money again!" Gu Chengyu planned to ask the fortune teller not to collect money. He only said that Magistrate Chiang would do things that benefit the country and the people. He couldn't bear that he had no heirs, so he came to inform him. This
If money is collected, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the prefect may even suspect that the fortune teller is a liar.
"Don't worry, sir! I've hidden the fortune teller's son. He won't dare not listen. I'll send him back after he's done something good!" Ming Yan is bolder than Ming Mo in doing things. As long as he doesn't violate his conscience, he can't do anything.
If there is a shortcut, he will take whichever one he takes. He knows more flexibility and choices than Ming Mo, but he is not as steady as Ming Mo.
"Serve the little ones with delicious food and drink, and then give them two hundred taels of silver to let them live elsewhere!" Fortune tellers usually set up stalls in front of the City God's Temple outside the city. The City God's Temple is a bit shabby because there are many temples outside the city.
, so the incense has not been strong.
He is not allowed to go to the temple. After all, he is a Taoist, so his business is not good and not many people know him. With this money, he does not have to worry about where he goes to live.
Ming Yan still felt that this matter was a bit mysterious, "Sir! What if Governor Jiang doesn't believe it?"
"What does it matter whether Governor Chiang believes or not? As long as Mother Chiang believes, it will be enough. Besides, Governor Chiang may not refuse to believe it, right?" Sometimes, even if you know it is false, you will take it as true. This is
It depends on what you are thinking.
Soon, the sky became dark. It was already the second quarter of Shenshi. They had to go to the street to buy four-color gifts with Sun Xian and others. Gu Chengyu planned to go out early.
The night was hazy, the breeze was gentle, and the mid-autumn night was still a bit cool.
After Gu Chengyu went to the toilet, he passed by the small lake again and saw the dark lake surface was calm. He thought of the woman who jumped into the lake that day. This lake had swallowed up so many lives.
The boy on the right front was walking very fast. There were many people who died in the lake in the first two months, and this was quite a few. He just felt creepy at the moment. Walking by the lake, he felt a chill on his feet, as if
It felt like it was wrapped around something cold.
He looked back at Gu Chengyu from time to time, not to see if he was keeping up, but because Gu Chengyu had internal strength and walked lightly, and because Gu Chengyu was silent, he felt a little scared.
Gu Chengyu was a little amused, and then he kindly quickened his pace and walked towards the flower hall.
There were a lot of guests at the banquet today, so I heard the noise inside before arriving at the flower hall. The boy heard the noise and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally arrived!
Gu Chengyu and the others were sitting in a corner of the banquet. Logically speaking, a boss like him should have no time to spare, but who said Gu Chengyu was too old to drink? At first, everyone talked to him, but later they saw that he was still a little kid.
, didn’t know any other interesting things, so he let him go and started exchanging cups with others.
It's not that Gu Chengyu doesn't want to make friends, but that he really doesn't know how to drink. Besides, he's not the same age as them. He can't tell these people which brothel's girls are good-looking or which oiran's poems and songs are good.
Proficient in everything, right?
Governor Chiang left the banquet in the middle of the banquet. As the fourth grade manager of the imperial court, he did not have to accompany them and other talented people. Even Wang Tongzhi had just left, and the rest were all officials with different levels of official positions.
High, so the candidates were a little more liberal.
