Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Gu Rufeng didn't expect that Lan Qiyan's words could make his wife believe it so much. If he didn't check it himself, she would tell Yu Ze and let Yu Ze check it out.

Yuze directly gave the other person two hundred taels of silver and asked people to dig up the wheat field.

As expected, many corpses were found inside.

There were bodies of young girls and children, but the excavation was carried out when the area was cleared, and the bodies were directly pulled back to the charity cemetery after they were discovered.

This is a big case, and Gu Rufeng is determined to catch the murderer.

However, after the coroner's examination, it was found that there were no other wounds on each body and their faces were healthy. The cause of death was that they had been drained of blood.

Some of them had already turned into bones, some were still in the process of decaying, and there were even three bodies that had only been dead for over a month.

Gu Rufeng hasn't slept for several days. Who is this person? Why is he so cruel? What is this for?

The people he sent out could not find any clues at all, and the emperor ordered him to suppress the news to avoid causing panic among the people.

Inside the princess's mansion

Yuze and Yulin looked solemn.

He became more solemn after seeing a group of children.

Yuze was very upset. If he had known, he would not have agreed to let his parents leave.

Chu Yun was not too worried. "Don't be too nervous. Although we have many children in our house, we also have many people. As long as we don't leave the house, there won't be any problem."

"I think from now on, the children should not go out to play, especially Ziqi and Xiaomei. As long as you don't go out, they won't follow you out."

The two people who were named shrank their heads, and Yushu even carried with her the self-defense weapon her mother gave her.

Yu Ziqi touched the treasure given by his sister-in-law around his waist and felt much more relieved.

"There's no need to worry about their safety. The Princess's Mansion is self-sufficient. We have chicken, fish, meat, eggs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables. In addition, there are traps set up by my mother on the surrounding walls. Everyone in the mansion has been carefully selected by her.

As long as they don't go out, there won't be any problem. What I'm worried about now is that if this person is not caught, more girls and children will be victimized."

"What stage have you reached now?" Li Shuyu asked.

"Uncle Gu has no clue at all. The murderer didn't leave any clues. We got nothing."

"I heard that all the blood was drained?"

"Yes."

Li Shuyu sighed, "When I was a child, my grandfather told me a story. Do you want to hear it?"

"Grandma, you say." Yu Ze said respectfully.

Li Shuyu fell into memory, "When I was seven or eight years old, my father said that my grandfather went out to drink again. He said that my grandfather was an alcoholic and it would be too embarrassing for him to go to him, so he asked me to go.

I knew that my grandfather liked to hang out in a tavern, so I went there with two maids. When I found my grandfather, he was already drunk.

By the way, my grandfather was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple at that time. He said that when he encountered problems that he could not solve, he would drink, but during that period of time, he drank more and more frequently.

After I brought him home, I couldn't help it anymore, so I asked him if he could stop drinking, but he said he couldn't solve the problem. He said he found the murderer in a case, but there was no way to catch the murderer.

And that murderer was the one who killed hundreds of girls and children, and he died in the same way as now, by draining all his blood.

When you say that this situation has actually happened now, I realize that everything is passed down from generation to generation, whether good or bad.

It’s not necessarily that Gu Rufeng can’t find out, he just doesn’t dare to find out. What will he do after he finds out? He can’t catch him.”

After Li Shuyu finished speaking, Yulin understood who the murderer was.

Although there is no evidence now, his inference must be true. I just don’t know whether she was involved in this matter.

Lan Xiaoqi glanced at everyone, touched his wrist, and then said, "What are you talking about? I worked hard for seven days to memorize books and snatched a batch of floating light brocade from my mother. I just got it back and you told me that my mother had left. Why didn't you wait for me?"

"Qihe, why are you always reciting? It would be better if you could recite faster. But mother has left something good for you. It's in his room. I'll take you to get it." Yu Shu said as she reached out to pull Lan Xiaoqi.

Lan Xiaoqi frowned slightly, but it only lasted for a moment.

However, the careful Xie Yun saw it. He walked to Sixth Uncle and whispered something in his ear. Yulin's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Yu Ze also realized why he couldn't find out, unless this person's status was such that Gu Rufeng dared not touch him.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was a little subtle. Li Shuyu looked at the children and said, "We can only protect the children in the mansion now. There is really no other way."

"There is a way. I have sent people to talk to my parents about this matter. Ask them to return to Beijing immediately." Lan Ranzhi said.

Yuze was still kept in the dark, "Ran'er, why didn't you discuss this with me? Dad and mom have a mission."

"Can any other mission be more important than the safety of these children? Our mother has the most power here. Only she can find out, and as long as she dares to find out, you are all too timid."

She doesn't care who she offends, no matter how high her official position is, if he kills innocent people and disregards human life, he deserves to die.

Yuze's face was full of helplessness. Women are impulsive and a small move can affect the whole body.

Sometimes, for the sake of peace and stability, it doesn't matter if the interests of a small number of people are sacrificed.

He and Yulin looked at each other. Besides, that man's life was not so easy to take.

What if my mother comes back? Are they going to force me to abdicate and rebel?

How will we resist when the time comes and people all over the world rise up in rebellion?

Li Shuyu smiled. The Chu family, no matter how many emperors they have, are selfish in their bones. At present, Yulin looks good, but when he reaches that position, can he still keep his original intention?

Five hundred miles away, Lan Qiyan listened to the report from the newcomers with an expressionless face. When he heard them say that Gu Rufeng didn't dare to investigate, and Yuze and Yulin didn't dare to speak, the anger in his heart suddenly soared to a hundred meters high.

Yu Zian was a little worried, "Wife, let's go back. The kids are still in the capital. What if that person goes crazy?"

Lan Qiyan closed his eyes, exhausted. "Go back. I told you not to have children. The board of directors is weak. Look, now the child is in their hands. I can't do anything freely."

Yu Zian didn't even dare to breathe, "Wife, the baby has already been born, why are you saying it's over now?"

Lan Qiyan became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. "Really? Why did I marry you? If I hadn't married to Yushi Village and met you guys, I would definitely be the local tyrant of Taohua Village now. There wouldn't be so many things going on. If I want to see a handsome guy, I can just take some money and go to town."

"The quality in town is not as good as that in Beijing." Yu Zian felt unwilling to admit defeat.

"Humph, the prettier something is, the more poisonous and dangerous it is, don't you know? It's like a bright flower blooming in a barren land. It must be a trap. If you get involved, you'll be doomed."
