Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

 Chapter 782 Family Man (4)

Gu Hua was called upon, and when he looked back, his face sank subconsciously when he saw Gu Hong in the crowd.

 Gu Panxia was a little confused, but Gu Hong stepped forward and said angrily: "Gu Hua, are you crazy? These two are your cousins. What are you doing now?"

Gu Hua gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "They are not my cousins. They have been expelled from the family tree long ago. They are now rapists and murderers."

Gu Panxia glanced at the two of them with some confusion. From the looks of it, Gu Hong seemed to know Gu Hua, and maybe they were relatives?

"What murderer? If they were murderers, why didn't Magistrate Luo arrest them back then and were they still waiting for you to arrest them?"

 Gu Panxia glanced at Gu Hong coldly. Before she could speak, she heard Lu Yuan say in a deep voice: "They two admitted it personally in front of us. How can it be false?"

Gu Jie came to his senses and cried loudly: "No, that's not the case, Uncle Hong, we were joking, we didn't kill anyone, we didn't kill anyone!"

"A joke?" Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "The whole village has designated you as the person to kill, and you yourself admitted it. Do you think that just a joke can cover up the fact that you killed someone?"

He paused and then said: "Furthermore, even if you did not kill the person, but you insulted the king, this admits that killing comes first and insulting the emperor's relatives comes last. Even if you are not the murderer, you will be punished with death anyway." Run away, take away.”

Following Lu Yuan's order, two figures appeared in front of everyone like ghosts, it was Zhao Bin and Mu Qing.

“Zhao Bin, take the village chief and the villagers to the Yamen. Panxia and I still have things to deal with.”

The two men nodded and stepped forward to **** Gu Jie and Gu Hui to take the lead.

When the village chief saw the person leaving, he hurriedly followed him with everyone.

 Gu Hua and others who were left behind looked at me and I looked at you. For a moment, they didn’t know whether to follow or stay.

"Gu Hua, you are so capable. You even betrayed your cousins. Do you still have a conscience?"

Gu Hong did not follow the others to join in the fun, but glared at Gu Hua with anger on his face.

Gu Hua said nothing with a sullen face, but his eyes glanced at Gu Panxia from time to time.

 He was very curious, didn't this girl say that she was Gu Hong's granddaughter? Why don't you call out when you see someone?

“You can’t hear what I’m saying, right? They’re both heartless, both of them.”

Gu Hong scolded Gu Hua, but turned his eyes coldly to Gu Panxia.

How could Gu Panxia fail to hear those words of blame and shame, but she didn't get angry and stood there pretending to be ignorant.

"Uncle Hong, it was grandpa who expelled them from the family tree because he said that their family was guilty of all kinds of evil. Besides, it was the two of them who did that thing back then. If it weren't for them, how could the people at the end of our village be living like human beings and ghosts? A ghost’s life?”

Gu Hong took a sip and said disdainfully: "That's because the people at the end of your village are dissatisfied. What does it have to do with these two brothers? They are all one family. Look what you have done? Now let others know that our Gu family has nothing to do with it." If you kill a murderer, your face will look bright, right?"

Gu Hua frowned, "Uncle Hong, if you do something wrong, you should be punished. This is what grandpa taught us. Since they kill people, they should pay with their lives."

Before Gu Hong could speak again, Gu Panxia quickly interrupted: "Okay, Gu Hua, you and the others should go back to the end of the village first!"

"But…"

“Don’t worry, we won’t break our promise to you.”

 Gu Panxia naturally knew what they were afraid of. Wasn't it that they were afraid that the people at the head of the village wouldn't let them pass by?

Gu Hua nodded, "Then... let's go back and wait for news about the girl!"
