marriage contract

Chapter 137 Murder Case

It was expected that Yu Ji was going to get married. It is human nature to give generous gifts when they get married, but Gu Chengzhi's brows did not relax after seeing it.

"You want to go?" Gu Chengzhi asked in a muffled voice.

"I'm definitely going." Chu Junyi said with a smile.

This is the reason, and Gu Chengzhi also knows it, but he still has some concerns.

"Do you know where Yaoxian Valley is?" Gu Chengzhi asked.

"I know, Yu Ji said it." Chu Junyi nodded in response.

Yaoxian Valley is located between Xiangyang Prefecture and Sichuan Province, and it is adjacent to Shennongjia, so its location is unique.

Gu Chengzhi nodded silently, stared at Chu Junyi for a while, but said nothing.

Chu Junyi sighed, and said, "I'm just going to the wedding banquet, you don't have to worry so much..."

Huagang Mountain is not very far from Yaoxian Valley. When I went to Huagang Mountain, Yu Ji never hid his identity. Maybe someone will come to watch the ceremony in the name of congratulations. Gu Chengzhi is afraid of Chu Junyi identity was discovered by them.

Perhaps it should be said that as long as he goes, his identity will definitely not be hidden.

Gu Chengzhi stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows. He also knew that it was not good for him, but when he thought of someone following Chu Junyi for nearly a hundred miles, he had to think about it.

The ores brought back from Huagang Mountain have been handed over to the emperor. After several verifications, it can be confirmed that the metal ores are indeed gold ores, and there are iron ores and silver ores associated with them, but the amount is relatively much smaller.

The emperor has sent additional manpower to Huagang Mountain, from the officials to the mines, no one will be spared.

The other side has been safe and sound for so many years, but the emperor suddenly made trouble, and everyone knows that there is something tricky in it.

The situation in the capital is complicated, and the emperor's actions are so big that he can't hide them at all. After thinking about it, the matter of Yu Ji leading people into the mountains will be revealed immediately.

Even if the emperor kept it a secret, how could the people behind the scenes not know the reason.

The martial arts of the guards around Chu Junyi are good, but there are no real top masters. There are many ants and they can kill elephants. fate?

As for Gu Chengzhi's thoughts, Chu Junyi can also guess some. In fact, he wanted to say that Gu Chengzhi was too imaginative, but if he said this, Gu Chengzhi would definitely be angry, so he said it again very simply. Swallowed it back.

"Yu Ji is married, are you ashamed to say no?" Chu Junyi slammed his mouth, and changed his words: "Well, you can't go, it should be said, Yu Ji is married, you are ashamed not to go by yourself Still not letting me go?"

Gu Chengzhi's face was dark, he gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Yu Ji is really kind to his friends, from the border to the capital, from the capital to the present, he has never said anything else about where he can help.

Now that he is getting married, Gu Chengzhi has an official position, so it is not easy to leave his post without permission, but Chu Junyi has a lot of free time, so he is not allowed to go to the ceremony, Gu Chengzhi really has no face to say such a thing.

"Send a letter to the capital, saying that Yu Ji is getting married, what does it mean to see the prince?" Gu Chengzhi took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Okay." Chu Junyi was slightly taken aback, then nodded in response.

Miss Yao is Jin Rong's sister-in-law, and she is going to get married. Jin Rong and the princess often talk about adding more makeup.

It was Yu Ji who cured Jin Rong's illness. It's hard to say what your benefactor said. Jin Rong is the crown prince, even if he dared to call, Yu Ji would not dare to listen.

But it's not something that can be easily forgotten, especially since Yu Ji has never done anything to treat Jin Rong's illness, Jin Rong will definitely remember him well.

I don't dare to say too much, I'm sure I'll send someone to congratulate, Gu Chengzhi just wants Chu Junyi to follow and come back, even if the person behind the scenes has his head in the sea, he won't choose this time to do it.

The news spread quickly and came back quickly. Miss Yao was going to get married, and Yao Shanchang had sent a letter to Beijing early in the morning. Both the Jinrong couple and the emperor thought the marriage was good.

Jin Rong and his wife had a special affection for Yu Ji. The Crown Princess had already given birth to her second son and was pregnant with her third. For her younger sister to marry Yu Ji, the Crown Princess raised her hands in approval.

The emperor also sent a message that he would add some dowry to Miss Yao before marriage, just because the person she was going to marry was Yu Ji.

At that time, people will be sent to Kaifeng Mansion, and after adding makeup, they will follow the wedding party all the way to Yaoxian Valley.

Gu Chengzhi was determined to include Chu Junyi in the team, and wrote a letter back. Jin Rong rolled his eyes several times after reading it, and finally agreed.

After getting the letter, Gu Chengzhi was relieved.

At the same time, the tour time in mid-February has arrived.

Because Yu Ji got married in May, Chu Junyi was not in a hurry, and Zhang Luo planned to leave for Kaifeng Mansion around April, anyway, there would be time.

This tour was different from the calmness of the past. From time to time, someone would be killed, or the whole family would be silenced. People were panicked wherever they went, and the harmonious atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant.

The human life lawsuit is in charge of the local county magistrate or magistrate. After seeing the dead body, Gu Chengzhi only spit out two words: "Killer."

The killer's method of killing is different from that of normal people, even those who practice martial arts, so it is easy to distinguish.

There were traces of rummaging through the deceased's home, and the money was not lost, which shows that he was not murdered for money.

Chu Junyi unconsciously thought of those people who entered Anhui Province last year, their whereabouts were strange, and then they couldn't be found. Could it be them?

Those people came here last year. If they were really them, why did it take months to start doing it?

Gu Chengzhi pointed to the six corpses on the ground and said, "They all died by the hands of one person."

Chu Junyi was a little further away, with his back to them, his expression gloomy and silent.

This family of six has seven lives, and one of them is a woman who is pregnant with Liujia. It is said that she will give birth in three months. As a result...

"Let's go." Gu Chengzhi walked over and said in a low voice.

Chu Junyi nodded and followed him out of here.

Gu Chengzhi was afraid that Chu Junyi would be uncomfortable. He remembered that Chu Junyi was afraid of blood. Although the blood on the ground had dried up and turned black, who knew if it would still affect him.

Chu Junyi sighed softly, panicking in his heart, even if he didn't know the dead, he wouldn't be in a good mood when encountering such a thing.

"There are still two missing?" Gu Chengzhi said suddenly.

"What?" Chu Junyi hadn't realized what he was saying.

"I said, there are still two people missing." Gu Chengzhi helplessly explained: "There were eight people in the family just now. The old couple had two sons. The youngest son and the eldest son were not found, so they probably escaped."

"Really?!" There was a little joy on Chu Junyi's face.

"It's very likely. I heard from the neighbors that their youngest son often took his nephew out to play. This time, he probably came back late, or he happened to see something when he came back. Anyway, their bodies were not found nearby." Gu Chengzhi said.

Chu Junyi's frown was loosened. The atmosphere here made him breathless. It's always a good thing to hear that someone is still alive.

Gu Chengzhi's view of these murders is vendetta. The murderer's methods are sophisticated and decisive, and one blow is fatal. However, he learned from the neighbors that this family is kind and has a good reputation, so it is impossible to form such a deep hatred.

Chu Junyi used manpower to find out the details of the people who were killed in recent days, and made a long list, but the more he looked, the more confused he became.

The deceased included country gentry and ordinary people, with good and bad tempers, different levels of friendship, preferences, and habits. Some died of the whole family, while others died alone and the whole family survived.

However, it wasn't all done by those people. After seeing a corpse, Gu Chengzhi asked the magistrate to deal with it first. Looking at the wound, he knew that the assailant was a novice. After careful inspection, it was indeed the case.

Seeing this scene, some people wanted to fish in troubled waters, kill people and then blame those killers, but Gu Chengzhi saw it without thinking.

Gu Chengzhi's expression became more condensed. This kind of thing will never happen less. If it can't be stopped in time, there may be more people committing crimes with such thoughts.

Originally, Chu Junyi was also busy, but Brother Qi's words reminded him that the day of Yu Ji's marriage was coming soon, and it was time for him to set off for Kaifeng Mansion.

This time, Gu Chengzhi didn't stop him anymore, and asked Chu Junyi to take Brother Qi away with him, and bring more guards around him, because he couldn't take care of them for the time being.

Chu Junyi didn't really want to leave, but looked at Brother Qi and nodded in response.

Gu Chengzhi separated more than half of the people around him, and Chu Junyi saw that he was too firm, so he didn't refuse, but just told him to be careful, and let the people who followed him come back when he arrived in Kaifeng Mansion.

This journey went fairly smoothly, but Chu Junyi's mood has not improved. When he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, the first thing he did was to let the guards go back. If you are not afraid of open swords and spears, you are afraid of hurting people with hidden arrows.

The guards were in a dilemma. Before leaving, Gu Chengzhi said that they would not be allowed to go back, but Chu Junyi is also the master, who should listen to this matter?

In the end, it was Xue Hu who mediated, leaving part of Chu Junyi with him, and the rest returned to Gu Chengzhi's side. The safety of the two of them was very important, and nothing could happen to either of them.

Chu Junyi paid homage to Yao Shanzhang, and then went to see Yu Ji. This guy was in high spirits every time he had a happy event, so he just put a sign on his head to tell others that he was so happy that he was about to fly.

When Yu Ji saw Chu Junyi, he greeted him with a smile, but he also saw that Chu Junyi's mood was not very high, so he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

If someone wants to get married, Chu Junyi will not put a sad face on people's interest, but this matter cannot be hidden, if he heard about it a few days before the wedding, it would be even more embarrassing, so he simply told Yu Ji .

Yu Ji frowned when he heard that, and the anger in his heart was rising slowly. He didn't make trouble sooner or later, and he just rushed to make trouble before and after his marriage. Sincerely make him unhappy, right? !

Don't let him know who this person is, or he will definitely look good!

Chu Junyi not only paid attention to Gu Chengzhi, but also inquired about things around Kaifeng Mansion.

After some inquiries, I found out that it wasn't just Anhui Province, but people in several surrounding provinces had been killed or exterminated. It's just that the local magistrate and county magistrate were too busy to care about other places for the time being.

Before Chu Junyi could figure out why, the team sent by the emperor had already arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.

Moreover, Chu Junyi still knew the person who led the team.
