Chapter 28: Gu Men's Mystery Case, Cao Gang Xin Mi
Gu Fengliu has many disciples, most of them are celebrities today. When he returned home, he talked about his bet with Zhang Xiaolin, which was related to Gu Fengliu's life and death, and also related to the reconstruction of Anxi. These famous officials were very willing to serve. They drafted and promoted it everywhere. Gu Fengliu received the order of the governor to rebuild Anxi City and initiated an uprising donation. This was awesome. The ancestors of the Gu family were all over the world, and all parties sent money. Even Mr. Sun at that time, after hearing about this feat, he sent ten big yellow croakers, which was even more overwhelming.
Once the Gu Family Newspaper was published, all the refugees volunteered to dispatch them, and they had money and made great efforts. In just a few months, they actually completed the task and Gu Fengliu came to Zhang's mansion to serve.
Zhang Xiaolin became afraid of Gu Fengliu, but Mr. Sun, who was famous at that time, had to sell his face, so he let Gu Fengliu go to life. Gu Fengliu was also very straightforward and actually donated the remaining money to the Zhang Mansion, which was tens of thousands of yuan. Zhang Xiaolin was very happy. If Gu Fengliu was there in Anxi, it would be like a tiger to be strong, so he would be very polite to Gu Fengliu. After a while, the two of them became sworn brothers.
The Gu family worships ancestors every year. When worshiping ancestors every year, the biggest event is to pay tribute to the deeds of ancestors. The deeds of the Gu family’s ancestors are in this picture of the ancestor dragon. However, no one knows what is recorded in this painting. Some people speculate based on the content of the picture, but the result is specious, and the Gu family has never admitted it, so it has attracted everyone’s attention.
This year, Gu Fengliu sincerely invited Zhang Xiaolin. Zhang Xiaolin readily agreed that on that day, Zhang Xiaolin brought Mu Xiancui to the Gu family, but as soon as he stepped into the Gu family, he saw that the whole family was covered with blood, and even the big yellow dog guarding the door was shot dead.
Zhang Xiaolin was shocked and asked people to search everywhere, but found that none of them had survived. After searching all the way, he entered the ancestral temple and found that Gu Fengliu was holding a spear in his hand, closely guarding the scroll on the altar. There were dozens of dead bodies on the ground. Judging from his figure, he was not from Anxi.
Zhang Xiaolin hurriedly stepped forward to check, and found that Gu Fengliu had been cut dozens of times, and there was a pool of blood on the ground. He obviously could not survive when he was in danger of life and death. He hurriedly stepped forward and called, "Brother Gu, what happened?"
Gu Fengliu saw it clearly that it was Zhang Xiaolin, and he pointed to the scroll on the wall and said, "Be careful... keep it, never..." and died.
Zhang Xiaolin ordered people to search, but none of them survived. From beginning to end, he did not see the body of Gu Fengliu's daughter. Zhang Xiaolin ordered people to pack up the bodies and buried them all, allowing these people to stay around Gu Fengliu and erect a monument for Gu Fengliu.
She found Mu Xiancui staring at the scroll in a daze, thinking that she was frightened by the bloody scene, so she went forward to interrogate, but Mu Xiancui said to Zhang Xiaolin, "I want to borrow the scroll on the wall for a few days, I wonder if it's okay?"
At this time, Zhang Xiaolin and Mu Xiancui were already secretly feeling. Zhang Xiaolin didn't think about it and agreed to Mu Xiancui. After the matter was done, they would go back to their homes, but three days later, the whole of Anxi was ruined.
At that time, a news was published in Anxi Daily: The generals were jealous of talent, slaughtered Gumen, imitated the Qin Emperor, burned books and buryed scholars, and made a connection between paintings to make the beauty laugh.
It is rumored that the reason why Mu Xiancui married Zhang Xiaolin was because of this scroll, but Zhang Xiaolin had not clarified it. But soon after this incident, Mu Xiancui really married Zhang Xiaolin and became a couple. Since then, the Cao Gang has become a trump card behind Zhang Xiaolin.
Zhang Xiaolin visited several times and found out who sent someone to kill the entire Gu family, but there was no clue. He focused on the reporter that the news released by Anxi Daily, but when he led his troops to find it, he found that the reporter had long disappeared. He suspected that this reporter was the most important clue in the incident, but since then, there has been no news from the reporter.
From then on, Zhang Xiaolin's reputation became increasingly powerful, but there were mixed praise and criticism, and some people even kept making up his story, so that his reputation was always bad.
Zhang Xiaolin came back to his senses from his memories and stared at Gu Qiu and said, "This is the case when your family was killed, but please believe that it is definitely not me who killed your family. I have been carrying a bad reputation for this for decades, but I think it is my fault that I can't help Brother Gu's blood feud, so I don't want to explain."
Gu Qiu lost his spirit and said, "It's impossible, Dad said, he saw it with his own eyes, you ordered someone to kill my whole family."
When Mu Xiancui heard this, he raised his eyes, "I can be sure that your adoptive father lied to you. Although I don't know where your adoptive father heard about it, I can be sure that your adoptive father must know something."
Gu Qiu became lost and grabbed his mind in pain. He didn't know whether he should believe what Zhang Xiaolin said.
"Xiaolin and I have been thinking over the years, and I think that the disaster in your family will be caused by this "Ancestral Dragon Picture". "Mu Xiancui looked at the painting on the wall and said, "The secret in this painting sends the whole family of your Gu family into the underworld."
Gu Qiu stared at the "Ancestral Dragon Picture" with his eyes, but after watching it for a long time, he found nothing.
Zhang Xiaolin thought, "Maybe to find the murderer, we must crack the secret in the picture."
Gu Qiu asked angrily, "What secret is hidden in this painting?"
Mu Xiancui lost his mind for a long time and said lightly, "Actually, this painting has a lot to do with our Cao Gang."
Gu Qiu was stunned and looked at Mu Xiancui. Mu Xiancui nodded calmly. At this moment, Ning Guoyuan was also attracted by this strange story, forgot his danger, and stared at Mu Xiancui in a daze.
Cheng Geng was soaked in that scroll, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mu Xiancui said, "My Taishang Ancestor has not yet established a canal gang. He has always been a fisherman on the sea and makes a living by fishing. However, in those years, Japanese pirates were rampant and often attacked coastal residents. The court at that time was incompetent and incompetent. When they saw Japanese pirates, they fled. The people suffered the disaster. They could only rely on themselves. Taizu practiced martial arts all year round and had a very good reputation. So he summoned the village tyrants to establish a self-defense militia."
"The court at that time did not dare to fight Japanese pirates, but dared to wipe out the township courage. They believed that establishing self-defense militias was to oppose the court, so they sent troops to attack the militias and killed Liangsheng. After a while, it became more and more serious. Grandpa Taizu was forced to helplessly and took the township courage to escape from the sea. However, these official troops chased after him. The two sides fought at sea, and countless casualties were killed and injured. Grandpa Taizu was also seriously injured."
"What's even more hateful is that at this time, the Japanese pirates came and actually sent a place with the officers and soldiers to attack the militia together. Those who dared to resist were the militia. If they killed the militia, they would have no worries. So they took advantage of the chaos to attack the militia who fled into the sea.
"The militia was even more severely injured. They were about to be in different places. At this time, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky, and the scene of two armies fighting in front of the formation appeared in the air. The shouts shook the sky. For a moment, feather arrows flew in the sky, but after they shot, there was no pain. Everything disappeared like a phantom. Even so, the Japanese pirates and officers and soldiers fled in panic."
"Taizu and the remaining brothers were also very scared. They drove their respective ships and headed towards the north. During the fight, Taizu was cut off one of his arms and his legs were seriously injured. He seemed to be unable to survive. The brothers could only suffer in pain and drifted along the sea with Taizu. The sky vision lasted for a long time, and the attack and battle were extremely realistic. The brothers were very scared and thought it had angered the gods. It was not a coincidence that the sea was storm and the weather gradually became cold. In a violent wave, the ship was overturned and everyone fell into the sea."
"Taizu still had a breath at that time. He was stimulated by the bitter sea water and woke up again. However, the sea water contained salt and stinged the wound. He struggled in pain, wishing to bite his tongue and commit suicide. However, he was frozen and had no strength to speak. He could only float with the sea water and slowly fainted."
"I don't know how long it has been floating, but the ancestor came to an Iceland. When he woke up, he actually found that who was warm around him was warm. However, the island was in a cold shape, shining brightly in the sun, and it was indescribable magic. Taizu passed by the sea water here and actually had consciousness. He endured the pain and climbed up the island. He barely looked around and found that in the vast sea, he was the only one who survived, and the rest of the people had no idea where they were. Unconsciously, he was sad and angry, and he secretly gritted his teeth and must survive and avenge all his brothers."
"He collected wild fruits on the island to fill his stomach and found a stone cave to rest. The stone cave was very strange and the climate was pleasant. There was a strange picture carved on the wall. In the void, a tall figure flew across the sky, holding a crystal clear stone in his hand, and the stone emitted the light of the sun. At that time, the ancestor was so tired that he lay on the ground and fell asleep. In his sleep, the ancestor really dreamed of that person and handed him the stone. The ancestor woke up from the dream and looked around and found that there was a stone door that could be pushed open in the stone cave. He plucked up his courage to push open the stone door, and was shocked."
"There are skeleton bones everywhere in this stone chamber, but strangely, these skeleton bones are actually empty and are a complete skeleton, and they are not scattered, as if there is life, floating in the air. In the center of the stone chamber, on a stone platform, there is a crystal clear stone, just like the stone held by the gods who dreamed of in their dreams."
"Taizu looked at the void at that time and saw that the cave wall was shiny, and the cracks of rocks were cracked on the side above his head, which seemed very strange. But what made him even more alert was that after entering here, his soul was actually taken out and was not controlled by his brain. He felt dizzy and his injured legs began to heal slowly. Even though the broken arm could not be reborn, it quickly scarred and healed."
"When the ancestor woke up from his dream again, his mind was blank. The dead bones suspended in the sky fell to the ground, and the stone as big as a fist was held in his hand, soft and soft, like a water drop. The strange pressure was unknown where he went, and the ancestor rushed out of the cave. He stayed outside that night, which was strange. The temperature of the island suddenly dropped, like an ice warehouse. Taizu drilled wood to make fire, and barely made it all night. The next day, the direction of the sea breeze suddenly changed drastically.
The strong wind stormed, and Taizu was frightened and found a fishing boat being sent by the sea water. He was overjoyed. He hurriedly endured the cold, jumped into the water, grabbed the fishing boat, climbed up, and floated back with the sea water. Taizu escaped from death. At this moment, he looked at the stone and found that it became stiff and had no beginning softness. However, when he thought of this situation, he secretly praised in his heart, remembering the painting on the stone wall and the people in his dreams, and thinking of this should be God's blessing and revenge for his brothers."
