Chapter 115 Demon Sect?
Zhang Peien and Gu Fan covered the white cloth and whispered: "Shopkeeper Gu, the Zhu family is now destroyed, but the Zhu family's land, houses and industries cannot be left unattended. It's a pity to leave it here.
Why not discuss with the Lu family and divide the Zhu family's industry."
Gu Fan knew that Zhang Peien was a master who could not get up early without profit. The reason why he came to Zhu's mansion was not to investigate the murderers, but to the industries left by the Zhu family.
Now there are three of the four major families in Jiangnan City left, and the Gu family has the government office of Jiangnan City as their backer, and they have completely firmly settled in the top position of the Jiangnan City family.
If the Gu family had not agreed, Zhang Peien would not dare to take over the Zhu family's business alone, even if he was brave.
What's more, the murderer who killed the Zhu family has not been found yet. If the other party comes to take revenge, wouldn't he become the victim of Chi Yu?
Several companies are divided up together, and the goal is still a little bigger.
"So, according to the leader of the Zhang family, let's summarize the assets of the Zhu family's land and a few of them." Gu Fan was not a pretentious and noble person, and turned a blind eye to the money. The Zhu family was destroyed, so he still needed this money.
After all, to restore the Han Dynasty, it requires soldiers, food, chariots and horses, and this is all money.
"The head of the Gu family is bright, I have brought a few accounts, so I will start to calculate the Zhu family's industry and ensure that I can give the Gu family the best." Zhang Peien rubbed his hands excitedly.
'This old guy seems to have been ready for a long time. His body is not cold, so he has started to eat at a loss now.'
Gu Fan nodded, and didn't say much. Whether it was traveling or managing a family or doing business, they all paid attention to the word "profit".
"Where is the body of the head of the Zhu family? I'll go and see."
Zhang Peien frowned and said with a gloomy face: "I advise you not to go and see it. Old Master Zhu's death is so miserable. His body is broken. I don't know how much hatred the murderer has with him."
"It's okay, since I'm here, I'm going to give the Zhu family a truth." Gu Fan said lightly.
"Gu Jiangui Dayi, the body of Mr. Zhu is in the main house in the backyard. The prefect and the criminal letter from the government office are investigating the case."
After hearing this, Gu Fan said goodbye to Zhang Peien and went straight into the main house of the Zhu family.
I saw a headless corpse in gorgeous clothes lying on the chair of the Taishi in Mingjia, the main room was half lying.
Next to this corpse, the mistress of the Zhu family was also lying on the ground, with a huge blood hole on her chest.
There were still a few maids and guards lying in the house, all of whom were in a miserable state of death.
"Brother Gu Fan, you are back. Nothing happened on the way." When the magistrate of Tatars walked up to greet him when he saw Gu Fan.
"I had to thank the magistrate who arrived in time last night. He saved his wife and children. Gu Fan would come to the door to thank him in person another day."
"Hi, what else do we say to our family? Gu Shun is my godson. It is natural for me to save my son."
"Luckily Gu Shun, nothing happened." Gu Fan was also secretly grateful.
"Gu Shun, this child, was auspicious from birth, and this time he was attacked by a villain and was unharmed. It seems that my godson is a sweet son who is blessed by God. I did not misjudgment." The prefect praised the pride with pride.
The two of them exchanged polite greetings and then turned the topic to the body of the head of the Zhu family in the house.
The prefect of Tatar roughly explained what happened last night:
"Last night, I just met my godson at your mansion, and my subordinates reported that the Zhu family was on fire.
I didn't take it seriously, but as the fire grew bigger and bigger, I didn't hear anyone in the Zhu family shouting to put out the fire. At this time, someone rushed into the Gu family to put out the fire and ran out in great horror, saying that many people died in the Zhu family.
I took people to the Zhu family overnight, but found that everyone in the Zhu family was dead."
"It's really abominable. It's really a lie to dare to do such a vicious thing under the nose of this prefect."
First, the Gu family and the Zhu family. The large family in Jiangnan City suffered a series of disasters and people were shaken. If the murderer could not be captured in time, it would be impossible to eliminate the panic of the people in Jiangnan City.
The people were panicked. The Jiangnan area where Jiangnan City was located was the most prosperous and prosperous place in Daqi, and it was an important source of taxation and food. In such a place, such an outrageous family massacre occurred, and the court could not have known about it.
He must solve the case as soon as possible, give an explanation to the court and Jiangnancheng, and even more so as to protect his official position.
"Brother Gu, I still have to ask Shunfeng Escort Agency to help deal with this case."
When the Tartar prefect explained the incident, Gu Fan walked to the body of the head of the Zhu family. The official of the execution room who was inspecting the body was quickly taken back two steps and gave up space for Gu Fan.
Gu Fan half-squatted down, gestured twice with his fingers on the neck of the corpse, and asked with an extremely serious expression: "Has anyone ever touched this corpse?"
The Dian Li of the torture room shook his head and said, "No, no one has touched the body in this room."
"Have you discovered something?" the prefect of Tatar hurriedly approached and asked.
"This corpse was obviously moved after death. This kind of death seems to be exactly the same as the several family-killing cases six years ago." Gu Fan said with a serious expression.
"You mean the three families of Qingshui Liu family, Bengbu Sun family, and Hangzhou Feng family." The Tartar prefect recalled the three small families of Jiangnan who were suddenly exterminated overnight six years ago.
Coincidentally, the heads of these three families once came to attend the Tommy banquet held by the Gu family when Gu Shun was born, and Gu Fan even offered them a drink.
As a result, not long after they returned, the three families were destroyed at the same time.
Their bodies were all crushed to death, just like the death of the head of the Zhu family.
Unfortunately, there were no witnesses at that time, and no valuable evidence was left on the scene. Until now, it has not been found out who did it.
However, seeing the method of the crime, it has a demeanor of the Demon Cult committing crimes decades ago.
However, the Demon Cult has been driven outside the pass by the Central Plains martial arts world, and they have rarely heard their movements in recent years. Now they have appeared again, which has also made Gu Fan have a bad premonition.
Now that the Central Plains are occupied by the Hu people, the Han people are displaced, and the people are living in poverty. If the Demon Sect takes this opportunity to make a comeback from outside the pass, it will undoubtedly make the already precarious Central Plains martial arts world even worse.
The martial arts world is no longer as united and powerful as it used to be. Whether it can deal with the Demon Sect is still unknown.
If the Demon Cult came to do it at this time, his plan to restore the Han Dynasty would be even more distant.
Gu Fan now only hopes that everything is his own guess, and the Demon Cult is still outside the barrier, and the only one or two Demon Cults who are wandering into the Central Plains are just evil people in the world who are hiding into the guise of the Demon Cult.
Gu Fan stood up again to investigate the wounds of the head of the Zhu family and several maids, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
At this time, Xing Shu, who was responsible for investigating the situation outside, walked into the house with a soldier.
"Master, Shopkeeper Gu, my subordinates just found something strange."
The soldier next to him knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to the magistrate, shopkeeper Gu."
"No gift, what is this strange thing you are talking about?" The prefect waved his hand and asked.
"Sir, I was the young man who was patrolling the Jiangnan City last night. While watching the night in the city, he found a man dressed in coarse cloth clothes, carrying a lantern and a token of the Zhu family, leading a group of people towards the city.
Because there is the token of the Zhu family, Xiaodi did not come forward to interrogate. However, according to Xiaodi's observation, those people did not look like ordinary people, but more like warriors. There are two very burly figures in it, and they should be Jianjiazi."
"How many of them are there in total? When did you see them?"
"I didn't count the small ones, but there were at least six or seven people. If it were time, not long after my subordinates were on duty, Jiangnan City had already had a curfew, which was about the beginning of Xu to the beginning of Hai (20:00-21:00)."
"I remember that Gu's mansion was attacked by evil people at the beginning of Hai. Could it be that the servants of the Zhu family led the evil people to do it? The servants of the Zhu family wanted to take revenge on the Zhu family, so they invited the evil people from the Evil Valley to help. The evil people wanted to make another money from the Gu family, so that was like this." The prefect of the Tatar family guessed.
"With this possibility, of course, it is not ruled out that the token is forged. Some people use the name of the Zhu family to try to confuse the public and cover up the traces.
Moreover, those evil people are not good people. If the servants of the Zhu family really take revenge on the Zhu family, how much benefit will he give to the evil people travel thousands of miles to Jiangnan City to do things for him." Gu Fan analyzed.
"It seems that things are getting more and more confusing."
"Aren't we still two evil people who have caught? In addition, I have also captured some evil people's minions outside, and I will know at the first trial."
