Something really happened at the Gu Mansion.
Contrary to the rumors Kong Hanan had heard before, Gu Zhiyun, the second branch of the Gu family, had already returned.
This is also the reason why Kong Hanan was able to meet Gu Hao. Gu Hao had always been with Gu Zhiyun before.
But Gu Zhiyun came back not to fight for the family property. In fact, no one could compete with him for the family property.
Gu Zhishan, the head of the Gu family, was dumbfounded.
The entire third brother’s lineage…is extinct.
From Gu Lao San to the maids and servants, all of them died in their beds on the night of Gu Qiang's 70th birthday, with their eyes wide open and their tongues sticking out, as if they had been strangled to death.
At the same time, Gu Qiang, the master of the Gu family, disappeared without a trace.
Gu Zhishan, the eldest brother of the Gu family, was foolish and kept muttering, "Retribution has come!"
Everyone in the Gu family was in a panic, and they quickly asked Gu Zhiyun to go home and take charge of the situation.
As soon as Gu Zhiyun returned to the mansion, he issued a strict order that no one in the mansion should disclose the news. However, people in the Gu mansion died inexplicably every day.
On the first day, he was the housekeeper in the main house of the Gu family, and he also glared and stuck out his tongue.
The next day, a maid from the second room was inexplicably hanged from the beam of the main hall.
The beams of the main hall in the Gu family's mansion were extremely high, and could not be reached by simply using a stool. However, there was no ladder nearby, so it was unlikely that the maid had committed suicide.
On the third day, even more people died. Many servants died accidentally in various corners of the Gu Mansion, and even innocent people were implicated. A vegetable farmer who delivered vegetables to the Gu Mansion all year round died mysteriously in the Gu family's kitchen, with no part of his skin intact.
Gu Zhiyun had no choice but to inquire around the house and finally found out the truth through torture.
The master of the Gu family had died a long time ago. It was the third son of the Gu family who had used some unknown method to keep a wisp of the master's soul hanging around, as if he were not dead, and manipulated him to distribute the family property and even held a birthday party to pave the way for the third son's future.
But apparently, the third brother's method went wrong, resulting in the tragic death of the entire third house.
But even if the news is not leaked under high pressure, who can stop people from talking?
Now everyone in the Gu family is privately speculating that Master Gu’s soul has turned into a fierce ghost and has begun to seek revenge on everyone in the Gu family!
Didn’t you see that the silly eldest brother, who was full of filial piety, was in tune with his father and was muttering about retribution?
As Second Master Gu Zhiyun explained, Chen Daoshou's brows gradually unfurrowed.
"Such a serious murder happened in the Gu family, why didn't they report it to the police?"
Gu Zhiyun gave a bitter laugh. "To be honest, Taoist Priest, my father's death was quite bizarre. As you know, there are laws in the court. If you collude with evil spirits, your entire family will be executed. Apart from a few people who knew about this, not even my son knew about it."
The servants in the mansion had a private quarrel, but the young master in the mansion didn't even know about it?
The Taoist leader looked at Gu Hao standing aside and saw him staring at his father with eyes full of disbelief. His hands were tearing his hair unconsciously, perhaps too hard, and a few streaks of blood flowed down his face. His mouth was wide open but no sound came out. It was obvious that he was greatly stimulated.
It certainly didn't look fake, and the Taoist leader nodded doubtfully.
Although he did not have the ability to see ghosts and spirits, he had some cultivation of his own and he was aware of the strange aura of the entire Gu residence.
However, with so many people dying in such a hurry, the Taoist leader was not sure and had some hesitation in his heart.
Gu Zhiyun had been doing business for many years and had traveled all over the country. How could he not see that Chen Daoshou was intending to retreat? He secretly kicked Gu Hao.
Gu Hao finally reacted and immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed it into the Taoist boy's hands.
"Hey, this, this... Layman, what are you doing?"
The little Taoist boy was a little flustered.
"Something to show your appreciation. Emperor Dongyue works hard every day. As his disciples, you are here to protect this area. We are very grateful."
Gu Hao no longer had the fussy look he had before when facing Kong Hanan. A sincere smile was on his face.
Definitely sincere!
What my father said just now was so scary. We can’t save the money that will save our lives.
"This... no reward without merit, no reward without reward, no reward without reward."
The Taoist boy was still refusing.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. It's not much. One piece is only three hundred taels of gold. If you think it's too little, I have more."
Gu Hao pretended to take it out from his collar, but the Taoist boy felt his hands and feet go weak and looked at the Taoist leader...
Infinite Heavenly Venerable...
Master, it’s really not me who took it. They gave me too much, and I couldn’t control my hand...any more!
The Dao Shou was also a little moved...
He usually practices in the temple. Although some wealthy families have donated money to the temple, he has never seen anyone donate so much at once.
Three hundred taels of gold...
The Dongyue Temple can be renovated...
We can give all the monks in the temple a few more sets of clothes...
You can also replace the statue of Emperor Dongyue with another one...
It can even be trimmed with gold...
With extra money, I can buy myself some pills...
And there is a stack of such banknotes...
The Taoist leader was also a little shaken.
He is not doing this for money, but for the development of the entire Dongyue Temple in Helue Town!
What's more, it is indeed the responsibility of Dongyue Temple to protect the area...
Gu Zhiyun and Gu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. They had done this job many times and they immediately judged the situation.
It’s done!
So there is a reason why merchants were the most looked down upon in feudal society.
Without knowing why, the two Taoists fell.
After Chen Daoshou "refused many times", he finally agreed.
"The Gu family's master was murdered for no reason. Perhaps he is still filled with resentment. Today, I will perform a ritual to help Mr. Gu's mansion eliminate this evil!"
Gu Zhiyun felt a little reluctant: "Master, can you just purify my father's soul and let him reincarnate?"
