Chapter 441: Digging Up Ancestral Graves

"Is Lord Xing colluding with some thief leader to deliberately frame us? My Seventh House has always been open and aboveboard in our work, and we are not afraid of being investigated. But do you have the imperial edict from His Majesty? If not, then we will never surrender!"

Hearing this, Lord Xing took out the shining imperial edict with shaking hands and read it aloud.

When it was mentioned that Gu Yanli had confessed, the Seventh Old Master's heart tightened, and he felt that this was an inevitable trend.

Considering his age, there is nothing to be afraid of even if he dies now. The only regret is that his ambitions have not been fulfilled. He is naturally sad that his plans of so many years are gone before he can see them come to fruition.

But no matter how sad he was, what he had to do now was to leave a bloodline for the seventh house.

Even if they were going to die, as long as his second son Gu Yanxing was the only one left to witness the fall of the dynasty, he would feel that his death was worthy. At least by then, the Gu family would truly be controlled by his seventh branch!

After he figured this out, he suddenly shouted.

"Shao Yu, why are you here?!"

Lord Xing was not aware that at that moment, Gu Yanxing took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and quickly left the ancestral home of the seventh branch.

The guards who came with him were all his confidants, and naturally they helped their master to resist the people brought by Lord Xing.

Seeing that Gu Yanxing had completely disappeared, Lord Xing's face turned unhappy and he immediately spoke to the guards.

"Anyone who tries to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

"yes!"

After fighting for a while, the few people were unable to stop them, so after they were all dead, the Seventh Old Master was naturally taken away.

When he was leaving, Lord Xing was afraid that he might be up to some conspiracy, so he simply ordered someone to break both of his legs.

Having his bones broken at such an old age, he naturally fainted from the pain.

But Lord Xing was not the kind of man who would show mercy to women. He had the Seventh Old Master dragged away, while he stayed behind and ordered people to bring more people over to search the Seventh House thoroughly.

Luo Yuan's attack came to nothing. Without Gu Yanxing, all the people in the city's command center were easily subdued. Only a few deputy commanders and captains who were on good terms with Gu Yanxing were taken away. For a while, people were in a panic.

Three places were raided in succession in Jinling City, and they were all related to the seventh branch of the Gu family. So even though it was a very cold day, the news was still widely spread.

The merchant's news came quickly, and the Su family and the Tong family received it at almost the same time.

The Su family naturally stood on Gu Shaoyu's side and immediately proceeded according to the original plan, launching a swift attack on the hidden industries of the seven families. The Tong family felt as if they were on a pirate ship at this moment.

Before he could figure out the situation, Erlang of the Tong family hurriedly brought a message.

"Father, the Su family has also received the news and is taking over the seventh branch's assets."

“Can they also take over the properties that are not on the list?”

If the seventh house was raided, then these things would have to be handed over, so even if they paid to collect them, it would be useless. That's why Patriarch Tong was shocked by this.

"No, I don't know where they got the booklet from, but I heard that all the properties on it are private properties of the Seventh House, so they took those."

"Where did you get this news?"

Before Tong Jia Erlang could finish his words, the butler came hurriedly with a box in his hand and said anxiously.

"Master, this was sent by the Yan family, and they said they wanted you to personally review it!"

When the head of the Tong family opened it, he saw a booklet inside, which recorded in detail all the private properties of the seventh branch that could not be seen by the public.

The Yan family is so capable, I think they have someone to rely on behind the scenes.

Then, at the end of the signature, there was another sentence: If not now, when? Seeing this, Patriarch Tong finally understood why the Su family was able to "buy up" when the Seventh House just got into trouble. It seemed that they had some private transactions with the Yan family.

He didn't want to get on this pirate ship, but his intuition told him that if he didn't do it, his fate would not be much better than that of the seventh room, so he had to get on board anyway and immediately gave instructions to his son and the housekeeper.

"Go, collect as many houses as you can according to what's written in this booklet, and be quick!"

"Yes, father."

Therefore, the city of Jinling was in turmoil openly and in chaos privately, and Qingshui Town, which was not too far away from it, was also in turmoil.

Under the joint witness of the Navy Battalion and the Tiger Guards, Gu Shaoyu, who seemed to have descended from heaven, personally dug up the Gu family cemetery, and all the things prepared by the seven rooms hidden inside were turned out.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The aunt and Mrs. Xing were stunned, as were everyone present.

After all, no one would have thought that the solemn and inviolable cemetery of the Gu family, where the most glorious people of the Gu family were buried, would have so many dirty things! If Gu Shaoyu hadn't dug these out himself, I'm afraid that the entire Gu family of several thousand people would have been destroyed, so many people collapsed to the ground, saying "Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you!" Gu Shaoyu had known about these things for a long time, so when he dug them out at this moment, he was quite calm in his heart, and he said to the deputy commander of the navy camp.

"Don't worry, just dig. Grandfather and his friends' remains are no longer in the cemetery."

Commander Pang was also a man who had seen the world. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard this. The shock of this day was truly unprecedentedly great.

He witnessed with his own eyes his comrades digging up their own ancestral graves, and also witnessed with his own eyes piles of things being dug out. Now there is such bombshell news, which really makes Commander Pang a little overwhelmed.

But since Gu Shaoyu was trying to avoid suspicion, he naturally had to come out and uphold justice.

Therefore, even if it made their scalps tingle, they had to do it, so they transferred thousands of people to continue digging deeper into the Gu family cemetery.

Soon, one hiding place after another was dug out. As more and more things were left outside, Commander Pang's expression became more and more ugly, and then he said something angrily.

"So many things were taken from Daxing, and finally used against Daxing. This is really abominable!"

Although he was a military general, he also hated war.

Because after every war, the ones who paid the greatest price were the soldiers he trained personally and the innocent civilians, while those so-called high and mighty rulers could find ten thousand ways to escape, change their names, and then plot a comeback.

So when he thought of this, his hatred increased a lot.

He walked up to Gu Shaoyu, who had always appeared calm, and said.

"General Gu, I wonder where the remains of Marshal Gu and his men are now? Are they being kept safe and sound?"
