Gu Xinglang led the head of the family and a group of people, led by the chief guard beside Jing Mo, and they rushed to the gate of Qiao Rong's mansion. ..
Qiao Rong's mansion is located on a street in the southeast of Chiyang City. There are no shops on the street, and the entire street is filled with mansions of wealthy families. Qiao Rong's mansion is not very big and is located at the innermost part. It is obvious at a glance that the owner is inferior to his neighbors in status.
"This doesn't look that good," the second in command looked at the tightly closed black lacquered door and muttered, "Does this house have an entrance?"
The eldest boss said, "I really admire you. At this time, you still care how many courtyards someone else's house has?"
Gu Xinglang waved his hand to shut the two of them up and said, "General Qiao was originally a retainer of the Jiang family. It's great that he earned this fortune through military merit."
"The body has been torn into pieces, and it's still good?" The eldest boss said to Gu Xinglang: "Oh, by the way, he will die even if he stays in the Jiang family. My God, he will die anyway if he stays with this person."
Gu Xinglang stroked his forehead and said, "Go knock on the door."
The boss then shut up, walked up the stairs, reached out and pushed the closed door, and the two doors opened.
When Gu Xinglang saw the door was pushed open by the boss, he knew something was wrong. He put his hand on the knife handle and said to everyone, "Be careful, let's go in."
The eldest boss was the first to walk into the Qiao Mansion.
In the entire Qi Mansion, only the cries of a few crows and sparrows could be heard, but no human voices were heard.
"Could something really happen?" A brother whispered to Gu Xinglang.
"Let's go," Gu Xinglang walked down the stairs.
The group walked around the screen wall in the front yard and passed through the corridor in front of them. The corpses lying on the ground in a disorderly manner immediately caught everyone's sight.
"Damn it," the eldest boss cursed and said to Gu Xinglang, "Prince Consort, we are late."
Gu Xinglang stood in the courtyard, looking at the corpses at his feet. His cheeks sunken, and he said, "These are the bodies of servants. Go and see if there are any of General Qiao's family members alive."
The bosses immediately went to various places in the mansion to look for him.
Gu Xinglang squatted down and turned over the body closest to him. It was the body of a servant, not very old, no more than fifteen years old. Except for the throat being cut by a knife, there were no other wounds on his body.
The chief guard squatted beside Gu Xinglang and said, "Kill him with one blow? These people are really merciless in killing people."
Gu Xinglang reached out and closed the little servant's eyes, which had never closed until his death, and stood up.
The chief guard squatted on the ground and looked through several bodies, servants and maids, all of them were wounded in the throat and killed with a single blow. The chief guard looked up at Gu Xinglang and wanted to speak, but he saw Gu Shao standing in front of the flower bed with a cold face. The chief guard was frozen by Gu Shao's cold face and could not say anything.
About an incense stick of time later, the eldest master ran over from the backyard holding a baby. He ran straight to Gu Xinglang and whispered, "Prince consort, there is one alive."
Gu Xinglang looked at the baby in the boss's arms. The baby was wrapped tightly in a small quilt, with his eyes open, sucking the boss's fingers.
"I can't help it," the eldest boss said, "as soon as I take my hand away, he cries."
Gu Xinglang said: "Boy or girl?"
"A boy," said the eldest son, "his family hid him in the wall. If the little guy hadn't cried, I wouldn't have found him."
"Inside the wall?" Gu Xinglang asked.
"Yes," the big boss nodded, "I didn't find the mechanism either, so I took my brothers to chisel open the wall."
Gu Xinglang looked at the people who had returned to the courtyard and asked, "No one is left alive?"
The former pirates shook their heads together.
The eldest master hesitated for a moment, but still said to Gu Xinglang: "In the room where the child is hidden, many women died. They looked like the master of this house. Oh, and a little girl who looked like a lady also died in the room."
Gu Xinglang didn't need the boss to describe it to him, nor did he need to imagine it, he knew that the room must be filled with blood on the floor, and even the walls were splattered with human blood, also a bloody red color.
"What should we do next?" the boss asked Gu Xinglang.
"Let's go back," Gu Xinglang walked out of the courtyard.
At this time, a group of officials also walked over along the corridor. When the leading official saw the scene in the courtyard, he drew his sword and shouted, "Who are you?!"
The boss and his gang are looking after Gu Xinglang together. Should they take action or not?
Gu Xinglang glanced at the officers who had surrounded them and said coldly, "The people from the Qiao Mansion have been dead for at least an hour. There are so many people on the street, and no one can hear their cries for help? Didn't anyone report it to the police?"
The leading officer said to Gu Xinglang with a dark face: "You killed someone, and you think we are too late?!"
The eldest master said, "How can you speak like that?"
The second in command said, "How can you talk like that?"
Another brother said, "We killed people and didn't run away. Why would we wait for you to catch us?"
The officer's face darkened and he shouted, "Catch them!"
"Kill," Gu Xinglang also gave an order at this time.
The boss and his men were stunned after hearing Gu Xinglang's order. They often fought, but they never intended to hurt anyone.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Gu Xinglang asked again.
"Go!" The boss pushed the child in his hands into the hands of the captain of the guards and rushed forward with a big knife in hand. When they were pirates in the East China Sea, they owed more than one or two lives. If it really came to killing someone, there was no way the bosses couldn't do it.
As the two gangs started fighting, the second in command shouted to Gu Xinglang: "They don't look like police officers."
Gu Xinglang still had a sullen face. He could naturally see that these people could not be officials. With such good martial arts, wouldn't it be a pity for them to be officials?
The chief guard stood behind Gu Xinglang and asked anxiously, "Should we leave here first?"
"You protect this child well," Gu Xinglang drew his sword and said to the captain of the guards.
The captain of the guards nodded hurriedly to Gu Xinglang, and his hands holding the baby unconsciously tightened again.
The baby kept crying loudly after he had nothing in his mouth.
The eldest boss was slashing at someone with a knife, and he couldn't help but shout at the chief guard: "Hold your hand, why can't you coax a little kid?"
The captain of the guards wanted to roll his eyes. He was not a woman, so how could he possibly coax a baby?
"Hands!" the boss shouted.
The captain of the guards put his right index finger into the child's mouth, and the crying baby immediately stopped crying and began to suck the captain of the guards' finger attentively. For the captain of the guards, this feeling was... really wonderful.
Gu Xinglang ignored the others and walked straight to the officer, raising his knife. The officer raised his knife to meet him, but the knife in Gu Xinglang's hand stopped halfway. The officer's knife missed and when he tried to swing it back, he felt a chill on his neck, and Gu Xinglang cut his throat. The dead body fell to the ground.
