Chapter 102 Zhang Erdan was assassinated
"Saucy"!
At this moment, the sound of arrows cutting through the air was heard from the sky.
Then everyone saw Zhang Erdan being pierced through the neck by a short arrow and died instantly.
The moment Zhang Erdan was killed, Gu Feixue noticed something and turned her gaze to the rooftop opposite, but she did not see any figure.
"Ah! Murder!"
There was chaos in the courtyard, but the officers and soldiers led by the prefect quickly suppressed the panic and blocked the backyard of Zuixianlou.
Gu Feixue stepped forward and felt Zhang Erdan's breath, but he was already dead.
In an instant, Gu Feixue's face turned cold. Who could be so determined to cover up his tracks by killing people to silence them?
It seems that they were under surveillance the whole time, especially Zuixianlou and the government, there must be accomplices.
Otherwise, the other party would not have come so quickly and chosen to kill Zhang Erdan who might have known about it.
Gu Feixue suddenly felt a little tired. Who on earth was so powerful and yet still wanted to deal with the Gu family?
The Gu family has now become ordinary people. They no longer work as officials and have lost all their connections. Why won’t the other party let them go?
"Dad and Mom, are you all right? Where's my brother?"
When I came to my senses, I found that Gu Lang and Wang were sitting on the stone bench with pale faces, as if they had not yet digested what had just happened.
Wang was very worried when she heard this.
"Your brother just chased outside, is he okay?"
Gu Feixue was shocked and was about to chase out to find Gu Tingchuan, but she saw that Gu Tingchuan had returned to everyone.
"I didn't find anything. I only saw the back of a man in black leaving from a distance."
The man in black again!
Pulling Gu Feixue aside, Gu Tingchuan asked her:
"Xue'er, tell me, could these things have been done by the people who framed Dad back then?"
"Tell the truth, don't hide it from me."
Gu Feixue nodded with a hint of bitterness on her face when she heard this.
According to the information she had, whether it was the people who framed the Gu family, the people who assassinated the Gu family during their exile, or the people who followed her to Taoyuan Mountain and hunted her down time and time again, they were all the same group of people.
In other words, they all have the same goal, which is to harm the Gu family.
It’s just that before, the other party seemed to be targeting the entire Gu family, but now they are targeting her, Gu Feixue.
However, Gu Feixue did not confess this discovery to Gu Tingchuan.
Although Gu Tingchuan also learned martial arts from Zheng Yannian, he was not proficient in martial arts because he decided to enter the officialdom.
The backyard of Zuixianlou was blocked, so it did not affect the business in the front.
At this time, through the sunlight, Gu Feixue suddenly discovered that there was something abnormal on Zhang Erdan's body.
"What's this?"
Gu Feixue had already recognized the familiar poisonous insect eggs in the blood left on Zhang Erdan's neck.
If she looked closely at these insect eggs, she would find that they were different from the insect eggs on the wild boar and Zhen Liu.
The color of these insect eggs was lighter, while the insect eggs she had seen before were dark brown, and the ones on Zhen Liu were almost scarlet.
This is because the person who controls Zhang Erdan does not want to make him lose his mind, but just wants to use these insect eggs to erode his blood and internal organs.
In as short as half a year or as long as three years, Zhang Erdan will die because the nutrients in his body are absorbed by the insect eggs.
During this period, if the mother insect summons eggs to riot in the host's body, these eggs will cause the host to bleed from all seven orifices and die suddenly.
But if the poison is removed within half a year, the host will only lose some essence and blood, which can be replenished through recuperation.
It seems that Zhang Erdan has long been controlled by the person behind the scenes.
If the incident had not happened suddenly, Zhang Erdan would probably have died of unknown causes like Zhen Liu, instead of being stabbed to death by an arrow in public.
"Oh my God, what's going on now!"
"How disgusting! Zhang Erdan just died, and there are maggots!"
Before everyone recovered from their panic, they saw a scene that made them feel sick.
I saw many densely packed little bugs wriggling in the blood flowing from Zhang Erdan's neck!
Most people would have vomited on the spot after seeing this, but the backyard had been blocked off, and naturally no one could leave until the people at the scene were cleared of suspicion.
Then in an instant, countless vomiting sounds were heard from the backyard.
Gu Feixue didn't want to vomit at first. After all, she had already mastered the art of witchcraft, so this kind of scene was nothing.
However, after Gu Tingchuan couldn't stop dry heaving, she couldn't help dry heaving several times, until she was pulled around by Wang, and she felt better.
After a while, everyone found that the worms in the blood on the ground had stopped moving. They finally felt less nauseous and stopped vomiting.
When Magistrate Liang brought people to check the surrounding roofs, they found the yard full of vomit and their faces turned blue.
It was not until he saw the blood that had already solidified on the ground and the dead insect eggs in the blood that Prefect Liang could not help but frown.
"Miss Gu, do you know what's going on?"
Seeing that Gu Feixue looked calm, Governor Liang asked.
Bao Hongcai, who had been vomiting for a long time, wiped away the tears that were forced out by vomiting and said:
"Yes, Miss Gu, what happened to Zhang Erdan? Could he be a monster?"
The others in the yard also looked at the unusually calm Gu Feixue, who could only say:
"If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Erdan must have been poisoned. And this poison is not ordinary, it's the legendary Gu poison."
She was also hesitant about whether to make this public.
After all, the enemy is in the dark. If she spreads the news about the poison, she will be exposed. The fact that she knows about the poison will also bring her more hatred and crisis.
But now she had to do it.
Even if she didn't reveal this, she would have already brought about fatal disaster, so it would be better to tell more people about it.
Her intention was to fight poison with poison.
Once the poison is exposed, the people behind it will certainly not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, those who know the truth will also be a difficult problem for the other party.
"Poison?! Could it be the legendary Miao witchcraft?!"
The slightly horrified tone of Magistrate Liang made most of the people present open their eyes wide.
Even if you have never seen witchcraft, you know that it is much more sinister than poisons like arsenic.
The unknown is always accompanied by fear. Gu Feixue said with a feeling:
"Everyone, don't panic. These poisons can't be administered casually. Those who administer them will have to pay a heavy price."
She told the story to make the people behind it afraid, not to panic others.
Prefect Liang had a very ugly expression on his face. Such a horrifying thing as witchcraft had appeared in the area under his jurisdiction. If it affected more people, his career as an official would be over!
"Those present must be questioned by the authorities. Those who know the truth must report it truthfully. Those who lie will be severely punished!"
As a victim, Gu Feixue naturally did not need to be interrogated. After a few simple questions, he took the Gu family away from Zuixianlou.
As soon as the Gu family left, Bao Hongcai remembered what Qin Ren had asked him to do, and he could only leave it until next time to discuss it with the Gu family.
