Chapter 223: 223 Unfilial (seventh update)
Chapter 223 Unfilial piety (seventh update)
Gu Jue raised his hand to make a gesture, and the dagger in Mo Chen's hand slashed the waiter's face again.
Jialou asked the second question: "Are the people in this restaurant still alive?"
"Does it matter whether others live or die?" The waiter looked around and spoke to him, curling the corner of his mouth coldly, and his **** face looked extremely ferocious, "You guys are dead!"
His eyes were sinister, crazy and determined.
Gu Jue and Jia Lou looked at each other, and both of them had answers.
The real shopkeeper, waiter and cook of this restaurant should all be dead, what's more...
"Let's go." Gu Jue said suddenly.
Mo Chen immediately understood what Gu Jue meant. Without hesitation, the dagger moved down Xiao Er's cheek, just like a tiger biting the neck of its prey. The dagger's blade cut through his jugular.
Kill with one knife.
Blood spurted out from the wound rapidly, and Xiao Er's body fell straight to the ground, his cloudy eyes almost bulging out, and he refused to rest in peace.
Gu Jue glanced at the busy street outside and said, "Everyone in this town is dead. Let's go through the back door."
From the moment they entered Changjing Town, they realized something was wrong with the town.
The vendors and pedestrians on the street are not real townspeople.
Even if these people put on the clothes of the townspeople, dress up in the same way, and imitate the accent here, they are still full of flaws, such as there are cocoons in their tiger's mouth; for example, there are men, women, old and young on the road, but they There is no child under the age of ten. For example, some people have swords hidden in their poles, and the blood stains in some stalls have not been wiped clean...
Although Gu Jue and Jia Lou both realized something was wrong, they didn't show it because they only brought a dozen people with them into the town. I was outnumbered, so it was better to act according to the situation.
Moreover, they don't know what happened to the original people in this town, whether they were captured, or...
It wasn't until they interrogated the waiter that Gu Jue and Jia Lou were finally convinced—
People are dead.
The question Jialou asked the waiter was actually asking for directions. On the surface, he seemed to be asking people from the restaurant, but in fact he was asking the residents of this town.
Since everyone is dead, there is no need for them to stay here anymore.
Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.
"..." Tama was actually confused, but he always listened to Garuda and didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone picked up their weapons and immediately went from the lobby of the restaurant to the backyard. The backyard was filled with the smell of blood, and like the lobby, there were several corpses lying in random directions.
Even without looking carefully, they knew that these people should be from this restaurant.
"Walk!"
The group of people walked through the yard behind the restaurant and came to the back door. Domoli opened the door smoothly.
There were also three or four dead bodies lying in the alley outside the back door, lifeless. Tama looked around and was about to ask which way to go, when his expression suddenly darkened.
A group of people appeared on both sides of the alley, and they were so dark that they surged towards this side like a tide. Everyone held weapons in their hands, knives, swords, spears, halberds... Under the sun, their weapons shone with cold light, and they were all stained with dried blood.
Obviously, these assassins have been ambushing here for a long time, waiting for them.
Tama's heart suddenly sank...
This battle is unavoidable.
The sharp embroidery needle pricked the white finger, and a drop of bright red blood bloomed on the fingertip.
Chu Qianchen was stunned for a moment, looking at the blood beads, feeling a little inexplicably flustered.
She raised her eyes and looked out the window. The weather today was a bit gloomy, with clouds and no sunshine.
When Hu Bo walked in, she happened to see Chu Qianchen's bleeding fingers. He quickly wiped the blood and applied medicine to her, and advised: "Princess, did you not sleep well last night?"
In less than half an hour, Chu Qianchen pricked his finger for the second time.
Chu Qianchen also felt that he was a little absent-minded, so he simply put down his embroidery work.
Amber put away the medicine jar and handed a piece of paper over, "Princess, this is from Xu Wuzuo."
Chu Qianchen perked up and looked at it seriously.
Both lines have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Mulberry white bark has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, so the edge of the wound sewn with mulberry bark thread will quickly reduce swelling. The edge of the wound sewn with catgut suture is easy to swell, and the thread body is absorbed by the skin significantly faster than that of mulberry suture.
Chu Qianchen also took out the records from the past few days, put them together, and compared them carefully. However, it was only five days.
"Let Xu Wuzuo continue to observe." Chu Qianchen ordered, with a smile on his face. He felt that it was no wonder that Xu Wuzuo could be the deputy director of the Ministry of Punishment. He was careful and considerate in his work. He not only recorded the appearance of the wound, but even Chu Lingxiao I also inquired about my feelings in detail.
Amber responded, and then added: "The time for the three-division trial has just been set today, it is tomorrow, and the notice has been posted."
The joint trial of the three divisions should have been held earlier, but because of Chu Lingxiao's collision, it had to be postponed for a few days.
Since Chu Lingxiao was not dead, Chu Qianchen was not surprised that the trial would begin sooner or later.
Chu Qianchen didn't put much effort into this matter, and just casually told Jiang Yuan: "On the day of the trial of the three divisions, please have someone go to Dali Temple to observe."
She went to the small study herself.
Since she had no intention of being a female celebrity, she simply did something else.
First, I reorganized Xu Zuo's records and listed the comparison of mulberry thread and catgut one by one according to the date.
After that, she started to draw patterns again, and repainted patterns suitable for Gu Jue based on the latest patterns. Not only could she make clothes, but she could also make purses, shoes, handkerchiefs, forehead wipes, hair crowns, hairbands, etc. .
When she was inspired, she drew several pictures enthusiastically, so focused that she didn't even notice the little black cat coming and going several times.
Until Amber came again and said with a solemn expression: "Princess, the Madam is here and wants to see you."
Chu Qianchen had just finished painting a vigorous black horse. He put away his brush and admired his painting without even moving his eyebrows.
She knew that Mrs. Mu had been going to Duke Mu's mansion every day these days, trying to ask for help from Duke Mu, but she couldn't even get through the gate of Duke Mu's mansion. She thought she was asking for help today.
Chu Qianchen was too lazy to listen to Mrs. Tai's talk, and he knew that she must be talking about how a married woman should rely on her mother's family, and that if her surname was Chu, she should contribute to the Chu family.
trouble!
Chu Qianchen waved his hand and said, "No."
However, as soon as Amber went out, she came back again, and she didn't come back alone, with Grandma Cai behind her.
Aunt Cai said in embarrassment: "Princess, Madam Chu was kneeling outside the gate just now."
"The concierge's wife also tried to persuade her, but she just refused to get up."
This older person is more delicate than a baby. He cannot be dragged or supported. If he is injured, it will be a serious crime of unfilial piety for the younger generation to abuse the elder.
Grandma Cai frowned and had a headache.
Chu Qianchen finally had some reaction. He looked away from the painting and looked at Aunt Cai, curling his lips and smiling.
Is her grandmother trying to force herself with filial piety? !
As a grandmother, she knelt in front of her granddaughter's husband's house. If this spread spread, it would inevitably lead to speculation from outsiders. They would definitely think that her granddaughter was too hard-hearted, had no regard for blood ties, and had no respect for her elders.
Aunt Cai tentatively said, "Princess, why don't you invite someone in?"
In the eyes of Aunt Cai, Mrs. Chu is just a rotten tile, but the princess is like porcelain. Do not touch porcelain with rotten tiles.
Chu Qianchen still said the same two words, without any change in his tone:
"not see."
When someone else said the same two words, it would give a feeling of anger, but Chu Qianchen's mood was so calm, and that kind of detached indifference made Grandma Cai stunned, and she couldn't help but think of the prince.
Chu Qianchen waved to Hu Bo, "Hu Bo, go and send a message for me..."
When Aunt Cai came back to her senses, she had already come out of the small study with Amber, and couldn't help but look back.
Was it her imagination just now?
Aunt Cai and Hu Hu walked towards the gate of the palace together, both speeding up their pace.
The closer you get to the gate, the more noisy you get. Judging from the various sounds coming from outside the high wall, there must be a lot of people gathered outside the palace.
When Amber walked out of the corner door, he immediately saw Mrs. Tai kneeling upright on the bluestone floor. She was clearly kneeling, but she looked a bit arrogant.
The wife caught a glimpse of movement at the corner gate, and shouted again in a hoarse voice: "Sister Chen, come out and see me."
"Grandma, please, please save your father."
"Even if your father has all kinds of flaws, he is still your biological father!"
Even if Mrs. Tai planned to use filial piety to force Chu Qianchen, she would risk it all. Even if it was embarrassing, she had no choice but to do so.
This is the only way!
