The three of them conspired to carve up the Gu family and poison the head of the Gu family. Mr. Zhou personally ordered his assistants and shopkeepers to hear about this matter. In addition, in the past few days, he had tortured the three people's personal followers and obtained confessions. So, no matter what
The three of them will be punished whether they admit guilt or not.
When the matter came to an end, before Mr. Zhou pronounced the sentence, someone came to complain at the door. First, the second master of the Chen family came to accuse Chen Liang of taking over the position of head of the family. He was so mad that he poisoned his father and forced him to hand over the business to himself.
Although the poison was later cured, my father died in depression.
The three family heads knelt down in the hall, and there was a long line of people outside to complain. After the Chen family, some people came to sue the Liu family for injuring people in order to forcefully buy a shop, including the Fu family and the Chen family. By nightfall, there were still no complaints.
To be clear, there are too many things involved here. The wives and concubines of the three families, as well as their natal families, all committed crimes. In the end, they had nothing to do with the Gu family.
After the Gu family finished talking about the matter and convicted the three of them, the Gu family withdrew and watched those people complain, ranging from robbing civilian girls to forcibly buying and selling, it was too numerous to describe.
Mr. Zhou sat in the hall the whole time. Except for drinking water and going to the latrine, he never left. Seeing that it was dark outside and there were many victims, he had to re-examine the next day.
This time, the interrogation lasted for two days. When Chu Yunli announced the Gu family the day before, he stood at the door and looked at it for a while, and then stopped going.
Gu Zong, on the other hand, had someone guard the door, write down all the people who complained and the reasons why they complained, and then came back to report.
In fact, the three heads of the family coveted the Gu family's property, conspired to divide it, and poisoned Gu's father. Based on this alone, they were at least a matchmaker. Coupled with all the subsequent crimes, large and small, it was luck to be able to save one's life. Moreover, this
In the past two days, many people were implicated in the three families, and many wives and concubines were also arrested.
After this incident, most of the three families were weakened. This is related to family tradition. For example, the Chen family has many heirs in each generation, and they fight fiercely for the position of the head of the family and more interests.
Those who are able to stand out are all ruthless, and these people usually make many enemies. Taking advantage of this time to avenge injustice, basically all the people who stand out are in prison, and the rest are of no use.
When the three heads of the family and their close shopkeepers were sentenced to three thousand miles away and not allowed to return to the city for the rest of their lives, the Chen family once again fell into internal fighting for the vacated positions, and their strength was not as good as before. If they wanted to deal with the Gu family again, they would have no idea.
Dare to do it again.
The reason why the Fu family got involved was because they were persuaded by Chen Liang. The rest of the Fu family didn't know about it at all. Because of this, the Fu family was weakened a lot. The new head of the family was the original second master. His first move after accepting the business was
The first thing is to expel the original head of the Fu family from the house, and his relatives as well. The second thing is to prepare generous gifts and go to the Gu family in person to apologize. He also said that if Gu's father wants any precious medicinal materials, pay
The family will do their best to help find him. His attitude is humble, and in short, the meaning is: the Fu family did not want to embarrass the Gu family, but his brother was not clear-headed and did something wrong.
As for the Liu family, from Liu Yuan to his two sons, they have committed many things. Liu Yuan will not talk about it, but they have been properly distributed. Both of his sons have contributed to the forced buying and selling, and Liu Chong even more
A girl who was in a living contract died, but the Liu family paid money to silence the victim. But this time the Liu family was in trouble, the victim came to sue again. Liu Chong killed the person first and coerced him later. The crime was quite serious, and he
Dad was sent away together.
The one with the least serious crime was Liu Zhou. All the charges were taken away by his father and brother. There was nothing left for him, but he was also sentenced to two years in prison.
What happened in these two days was still talked about in the decades that followed Tongcheng.
Chu Yunli has been in a good mood recently. In her previous life, her two children were killed one after another, and Luo Manniang herself was assassinated. Although she didn't know the exact enemy, it was none other than Qingxin and these families.
Thinking about it, Luo Manniang should be satisfied after seeing their fate.
That morning, she led her three children to practice sword practice. Gu Zong came in and also drew his sword and practiced for a while.
Just as they finished, someone came outside, and they were Gu Zong's entourage. After entering the door, he hesitated and said, "Mrs. Liu came with two cousins. They knelt at the gate and said that if you don't see them, they
I won’t leave!”
Whenever Gu Zong thinks about Liu Shuanghu, his mood is complicated and unspeakable. At one moment he thinks she is also a liar and should not think about her anymore. At the next moment he feels that loving her is his own business. Even if the Liu family was not pure-minded when they met, she is a girl's family.
They couldn't help themselves at all. The relationship between the two for several years was not fake, not to mention that they had a daughter...
But no matter how entangled he was with Liu Shuanghu, he had no good impressions of the Liu family. Hearing this, he frowned immediately and looked at Gu Nianshuang beside him. He originally wanted to ask his entourage to report to the official, but he swallowed it after he said, "
Invite them to the study room in the outer courtyard."
It was not appropriate for him to go to see the women alone, so after washing up, he asked Chu Yunli again, "Please go with me."
The two sisters over there also wanted to go, but before they could speak, Gu Zong took the lead and said, "You two go back and take a nap, and we will practice swordplay together in the afternoon."
The two sisters were not allowed to go to the front yard, but they took Gu Daoyu with them. Along the way, Gu Zong whispered to his son, "Your mother didn't hide the grudges between the Gu family and the Liu family from you. The main reason for taking you there is to let you see the scoundrels."
.It also shows you how to deal with such scoundrels."
Chu Yunli: "..."
It seems that he really hated the Liu family.
At the door of the study room in the outer courtyard, Gu Zong walked slowly in. Chu Yunli was a step behind him. Just as he was about to step in, he heard a surprised female voice inside, "Brother-in-law, you are here."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows and walked in slowly.
Seeing the mother and son, Mrs. Liu's expression changed slightly.
If Gu Zongzhen valued the Liu family, he would not bring his current wife with him when meeting his first wife's family, especially when it was obvious that his first wife's natal family had something to ask for.
This is not giving the Liu family any face, so it can be seen that he is really angry.
Gu Zong frowned, "Mrs. Liu respects herself, so you can't call her this name randomly."
Not polite at all.
Mrs. Liu, whose face was already ugly, felt her heart sinking.
She forced a smile and said, "Master Gu, I'm here today specifically to abide and explain."
"The Liu family has no intention of embarrassing the Gu family. The things the child's father did were all coerced by the Chen family, and there's nothing we can do about it..."
Gu Zong was impatient, "Does Mrs. Liu mean that Mr. Zhou has misjudged me? Then you shouldn't come to me. You should go directly to Mr. Zhou to redress your grievances."
"see a visitor out!"
The woman at the door came in quickly and extended her hand to guide her.
Mrs. Liu's face turned pale, tears fell, and she knelt down to Gu Zong, "You must help me this time. The child's father and Chong'er have been sent to prison. If Zhou'er also goes to prison, our Liu family will be in trouble."
It's really too late. If Shuanghu was still here, I don't know how sad I would be..."
When he heard her mention Liu Shuanghu, Gu Zong looked ugly and said, "Don't mention her." His voice was full of anger, which shocked Mrs. Liu to stop immediately.
There was silence in the room. Mrs. Liu knew that nothing she said was right at this time, but if she didn't say it, the Liu family would really be doomed, "But... you can't just watch us being bullied, we are all Shuanghu's
Blood relatives, please promise her to take good care of us!" She cried blood.
But these words were just a reminder to Gu Zong that Liu Shuanghu not only knew about it at the beginning, but also did not forget her parents' family even before her death. If she did not agree with the Liu family's approach, she should distance herself from them, or remind him to pay attention to the Liu family, but none of these...
!
Before he died, he even forced him to promise to take care of the Liu family before he would close his eyes.
All of this shows that she is not innocent.
Gu Zong's heart felt cold, and his face became even colder.
Chu Yunli sat aside, playing with the tea cup and remaining silent.
Mrs. Liu didn't know what was wrong with her previous tried-and-true methods. It seemed that the more she mentioned Liu Shuanghu, the angrier Gu Zong became. After much deliberation, there was only one possibility, that Gu Zong had changed his mind.
He saw that his former sister-in-law was still with Luo Manniang, which showed that he had been in love for a long time. This woman must have been speaking ill of the Liu family all the time, and now he finally lost all patience with the Liu family.
To a certain extent, her idea is right.
Mrs. Liu was very anxious. She didn't believe that Gu Zong, who was so affectionate towards Liu Shuanghu, could change his mind casually. When she thought of something, she stood up, pulled up her two daughters and pushed them in front of Gu Zong, "I sent them to accompany you, just like before.
I'm just asking you to leave a way for the Liu family to survive."
Only then did the three Gu family members realize that the two Miss Liu today were all dressed in plain clothes. Their eyes were red, their tears couldn't stop falling, and they were crying until their hearts broke. Their facial features and eyes were somewhat similar to Gu Nianshuang, but they were similar to Liu Shuanghe and Gu Zong.
The maid sent away was too far behind.
What Gu Zong hates the most is that the Liu family uses women as rafts. It was like this for Liu Shuanghu at the beginning, like this for Liu Shuanghe, and it is like this for the two sisters now. It can be seen that whether the Liu family is a small businessman or a wealthy businessman, they are all in the same position.
These are disgusting tactics.
Gu Daoyu watched silently from beginning to end. Seeing the anger on his father's face, he seemed to have some understanding.
The two girls were young and already scared, but they were even more scared when they saw Gu Zong's dark face.
There were sobs in the room. Gu Zong was very impatient and stood up suddenly, "You sold your property and moved far away from me, so I won't pursue you anymore. If you still want to pester me, don't blame me for being cruel!"
His tone was gloomy, and Mrs. Liu was really frightened. She never expected that this man would fall out at once.
Seeing that there was no room for change, Mrs. Liu's face was ashen, but her eyes were full of unwillingness. Her eyes wandered from Gu Zong to Chu Yunli who had nothing to do with him, and then to Gu Daoyu who looked thoughtful.
On the body.
She slowly approached Gu Daoyu. The Gu family looked confused, but they saw her take out a dagger from her sleeve and put it on Gu Daoyu's neck.
Seeing this, Gu Zong looked surprised, "What do you want to do?"
Chu Yunli: "..." The gesture is wrong!
The one with the worst martial arts skills in this room is clearly Gu Zong!
Mrs. Liu was shaking all over, but her hands were steady, "If you don't help, I will kill him!"
"You betrayed Shuanghu just for this son, whom you raised for more than ten years. I don't believe you can just watch him die." At the end of the sentence, his eyes became crazy.
Gu Zong looked at his son and said calmly, "Just do it!"
"Hahahaha..." Mrs. Liu laughed maniacally and looked at Chu Yunli proudly, "You have been with him for more than ten years and you have given birth to a pair of children, but it is nothing more than this!"
Chu Yunli: "..." You misunderstood!
Seeing that she was not panicked at all, Mrs. Liu felt that something was wrong. Before she could think about it, she felt a sharp pain in her hand. When she turned around to look, the dagger in her hand had been replaced by the young boy's hand.
