I heard I'm a scumbag

He blurted out on impulse.

"Huh? There's something hidden," Gu Zhijian glanced at him lazily, "What's none of my business?"

Originally, Feng Guo was a little bit regretful after he finished speaking, but when he heard that he didn’t care at all, the regret suddenly vanished, and instead, he hated iron for being weak. If he had known that the newly appointed magistrate was so lazy, why did they pretend to be a robber and kill him? Ah, just let him stay there for a while, and once the silver is given away, he will definitely not care about them.

Originally, they heard that the person who came this time was a young county magistrate. They thought that the young man was young and energetic, and the new official took office. He would have to be punished, so they wanted to take advantage of this and kill him directly.

Feng Guo scolded his mother in his heart, but in order to wait for a while, he quickly explained: "Since the adults are newly appointed, they must need political achievements, and the younger ones are willing to relieve the adults' worries."

His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how much he could reveal, so he could wait a little longer.

He definitely won't recruit all of them, but he doesn't make up the whole story, it's too easy to be exposed.

He just said a little bit, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Gu Zhijian raised her eyebrows, "Then tell me?"

"My lord is like this. The reason why we became robbers on the road between Lu County and Yuzhou is that we have nowhere to go..." Next, Feng Guo began to describe various poverty phenomena in Suzhou.

The land in Shunzhou is mainly barren, and there is not much food every year, but the prejudice against merchants in this dynasty is not so great. These people can choose to do business, but the business has been monopolized by several merchants in Shuzhou. I don’t know why, these people It is always possible to get goods that are much lower than the market price. After dumping them in large quantities, they have gathered extremely high wealth and have become the tyrant in Shuzhou.

Feng Guo’s original words were, “There are a few masters in Suanzhou who have a wide network of contacts and can buy goods at low prices. They strive to bring a little convenience to the people of Suanzhou. They are famous for their charity in Suzhou…”

Recently, several women have gone missing in Shuzhou, most of them are poor-looking or neglected. The previous Lord Shan wanted to investigate, but since he passed away from a so-called illness, the matter was left alone. .

What Feng Guo said was cryptic and half-truthful, but Gu Zhijian was not too worried, because everyone who followed was like this.

It’s okay for a person to be half-truthful and half-false. If many people say the same thing, it’s easy to piece together the truth. After all, this kind of thing has different places where they decide to be true or false. Carefully examine the contradictions between them , it is not difficult to guess the fact.

Gu Zhijian also knew that their intention was to delay time, so he didn't expose it, and just lazily watched these people talking endlessly.

"My lord, those women don't need to be concerned, we deliberately caught... Cough, we specially asked for you, some of them still have disabilities, and they are still alive..."

Oh, and they caught those women too.

"My lord, that lord Shan is stubborn and ineffective as an official, far inferior to your brilliance and prowess. He still insists on making our masters in Yanzhou..."

Oh, the grievances are deep.

"How did Master Shan die? Don't worry about the plague in your Shuzhou." Gu Zhijian asked casually without raising his eyes.

plague?If he said that there was a plague in Nanzhou, wouldn't my lord stop going?The man pondered.

He nodded, but before he could speak, Gu Zhijian sighed again, "If there is a plague, will you have it too, come here! Kill it immediately."

"My lord, be merciful. We don't have it there. The previous master Shan was drowned..."

"Didn't you say he died of illness?"

"This... Mr. Fang accidentally caught wind and cold and went for a walk by the river. He was unsteady when he walked for a while and drowned..." He slowly wiped the cold sweat off his head.

"Okay," Gu Zhijian saw that they had almost spit out what they were willing to say, "Take it down, it's getting late today, let's grab someone who talks less and execute them first."

When Gu Zhijian walked to the cell, the man was thrown in, and the prison guard shouted at the top of his voice, "Whoever talks less, come out and execute the sentence."

No one moved, "Hurry up!" The prison guard shouted again.

Still no one moved, Gu Zhijian pointed at Tian Hei, "Are you the first one to be interrogated by me? If you don't say anything, it's just you!"

Tian Hei: "My lord, I, I would like to say, I recruited everything..."

"It's late." Gu Zhijian smiled coldly, and asked the prison guard to gag him and take him out.

Tian Hei struggled hard, but Gu Zhijian didn't care at all, his face turned ashen, and he staggered out after being pressed by the prison guard's shoulders.

The rest of the people saw that he was going to do all the tricks, and they were a little frightened, but they didn't expect him to be gagged directly. For a while, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. They were relieved about the many dirty things that they didn't say, and they were also sorry for Gu Zhijian. The powerlessness of an attitude of complete indifference.

Gu Zhijian walked forward, and the prison guard escorted Tian Hei to follow him.

"How's the investigation going?" Gu Zhijian asked.

The prison guard slowly let go of him, and retreated under Gu Zhijian's signal, "Tian Hei" stood up straight, "I heard them talking about a person, Feng Rongxian." The voice was indifferent.

Gu Zhijian nodded, "Go back to the room and talk."

Gu Zhijian closed the door and lit a candle.

Bai Keji continued: "I flinched by the side, and I heard from them that Feng Rongxian made them arrest not only you, but also women several times, but it is not specific, as long as it is a woman, so they find Don't worry, catch it."

"It's pretty much the same as last time we saw it"

Bai Keji nodded.

"Is it raising a kid too?"

He thought for a while, with shame on his face, "Maybe I made a mistake, they are not raising little ghosts."

He listened to the conversation of that group of people today, and thinking about what happened a few days ago, he felt something was wrong.

If it is raising little ghosts, the blood of the owner is needed. If there is really any way to use other people's blood, why is it limited to women?

"It's nothing," Gu Zhijian thought for a moment, if they weren't raising little ghosts, then these people might be using these women to make incense.

This requires Xijiang's Gu technique to keep the Gu insects in the woman's body. From then on, this woman can no longer eat anyone's food, but needs to rely on water and various special flowers and plants for food, and endure the Gu insects in it day and night Breed and eat flesh and blood.

In the end, when the woman died, those Gu worms came out and could be used to refine spices. It is rumored that if this spice is used by a woman, the people around her will be fascinated by her, and her words will be regarded as the standard in this life.

Gu Zhijian told Bai Keji about this.

"There is such a Gu technique?" Bai Keji was very surprised.

Gu Zhijian helplessly unfolded the folding fan, "Sometimes, people are much darker than gods, ghosts and demons."

When he said this, Bai Keji was taken aback, but after a while, Gu Zhijian smiled again, "But most people in the world are still kind."

Bai Keji also raised the corners of his lips as he did, "Most demons are also kind."

he said seriously.

Gu Zhijian looked at him, and thought it was very interesting for him to boast about himself in disguise, so he simply stopped imitating the style of worrying about the country and the people, "It's getting late, should you warm the bed?"
