What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Aunt Mei hugged Gu Chao and cried for a while. When she heard that ten taels of silver could buy a life, she immediately took out some change from her bosom, as well as a silver bracelet and earrings, and handed them to Gu Xi tremblingly, crying and saying:

"My dear, this is all I have. It should be worth ten taels. I only ask you to let my son go."

Gu Yunze glared at Aunt Mei again.

These damn women usually treat him as their god, but it turns out they were just deceiving him.

Gu Chao cried and shook his head. Aunt Mei wiped his tears, smiled and said:

"Son, as long as you can live well, I'll be fine with anything. Without me to tie you down, you should leave here, live far away, and live your own life."

They, mother and son, had been bullied by Li for many years in this family, and Gu Chao had almost been spoiled by Li. Now that things had come to this, she didn't want her son to live with Li anymore.

Aunt Mei used her only money to save her son's life, but was willing to die herself. This shows how great maternal love is.

Gu Xi pointed the machete in his hand at Aunt Ju again.

Aunt Ju also took out some silver and jewelry tremblingly.

"My dear, what I have here is worth almost ten taels. Please let me go."

Gu Xi couldn't help laughing, and pulled the cloth out of Gu Yunze's mouth, mockingly saying:

"Look, these are your penniless wives and concubines. No one wants to save you, which shows how much of a scumbag you are."

Kill people and kill your heart.

It was naturally impossible for Gu Xi to take their lives, and he didn't even leave them with any wounds.

But this move can completely divide the morale of the people in the second house.

If you do bad things, you will always have to pay the price.

Having avenged Qi and the others, Gu Xi felt relieved. She left with a brisk pace, not caring about what kind of chaos would happen in the second branch of the Gu family.

Everyone who survived the disaster collapsed to the ground.

Li trembled as she tried to untie the rope for Gu Yunze, but was slapped to the ground by Gu Yunze.

"You bastard! You hid the money and didn't help the dying! How is that different from murdering your own husband?!"

Li wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared at Gu Yunze coldly.

"You useless man! You still have the nerve to scold me? We finally managed to escape death, and we sold the whole family of the eldest house to get some silver, but you squandered it all! I finally sold Aunt Lian to save twenty taels, but instead of using it to save myself and Wei'er, should I use it to save you?"

"Great! You even sold out Aunt Lian! You bitch! You vicious woman! I'll beat you to death!"

Gu Yunze never expected that Li, who had always been gentle and considerate to him and regarded him as her heaven, would actually dare to despise him for being useless!

Gu Wei collapsed on the side and watched her parents fighting, feeling a little overwhelmed.

No one else tried to stop the fight.

Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light, and a large knife with a shining cold light was placed across Gu Yunze's neck.

Just as one man in black left, two more came.

"Please spare our lives! We are really out of money!" Gu Yunze was almost scared to death.

Chu Zhao glanced around the room. It was really simple.

He found a stool and sat down, then said to Gu Yunze, who was being pointed at by Wu Dajiang:

"I don't want money, I'm here to listen to stories. Come on, tell me in detail who you are, why you are here, and what bad things you have done recently?"

Huh? There are robbers who rob people of money and women. This is the first time I heard of a robber who wants to hear a story. What kind of magic operation is this?

-

In the inn, Chu Zhao analyzed:

"The second son of the Gu family said that they sold the eldest son's family. When the Chengyang County Court was catching thieves a few days ago, the Sun family was also catching runaway slaves. The woman who went to Wanfu Lane today was definitely not for money. The second son of the Gu family was so poor that if she wanted to rob, she had to find a wealthy family."

Wu Dajiang said:

"Didn't she take all the money of the Gu family? Did she go looking for compensation because she felt it was a big loss to spend a hundred taels to buy two servants from the Gu family?"

Chu Zhao shook his head:

"I don't think it's that simple. This woman is very evil. Don't forget that the Sun family's large amount of money is in her hands. She is not short of money at all. If she saved the mother and daughter out of kindness, there is no need for her to take revenge on the second son of the Gu family for them."

Wu Dajiang rubbed his head:

"Hey, Boss, please don't tell me about such a brain-twisting thing. I can't figure it out anyway. I want to go to bed."

Chu Zhao was very disappointed with his friend.

After pondering alone for a while, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he slammed the table.

"Ah! There are enemies!" Wu Dajiang, who was snoring, was so scared that he jumped up suddenly, holding a big knife in his hand, and got ready for fighting.

"There's no enemy! I figured it out." Chu Zhao said.

"That night at the Sun Mansion, she didn't come here on purpose to rob us of our money. She went to the Sun Mansion to rescue someone, and she ran into us by chance, so she stole the money."

When Wu Dajiang heard this, he realized that his young general was still awake in the middle of the night and looked so energetic. He must be thinking about this matter! Young people are really energetic!

"Oh, then can I go to sleep?" Wu Dajiang yawned.

Chu Zhao was extremely disgusted: "Go to sleep!"

He himself had no sleepiness at all, he felt he was not far from the truth.

The fact that she was able to save the eldest wife of the Gu family shows that she has a special relationship with them, or it is possible that she is a member of the eldest wife.

General Gu Yunqing is dead, but Chu Zhao has heard of his reputation.

My grandfather once commented on Gu Yunqing, saying that he was brave and resourceful, and was a good leader in leading troops in battle. In time, he would become a famous general like the old general of the Gu family.

It’s a pity that the father and son did not die on the battlefield, but died due to intrigue in the court. It’s really sad and lamentable.

Chu Zhao, who came from a family of military generals, felt a sense of vulnerability when he thought about this.

The current emperor is really stupid.

If that woman is really the granddaughter of General Gu and the daughter of Gu Yunqing, then it is normal for her to have some abilities, after all, she is from a general's family.

As for the second master Gu Yunze, who is also a descendant of a military family, Chu Zhao can only say that throughout history, every big family will have one or two scums.

Chu Zhao had guessed most of the truth about Gu Xi's identity, but what bothered him most was not this, but the strange things that happened in the past few nights.

If he didn't solve these mysteries, he would feel like he was scratched by a cat.

Just wait, we will arrive in Dingxi County tomorrow, and then he will definitely capture that woman and interrogate her thoroughly!

Looking at Wu Dajiang who was sleeping soundly, the insomniac Chu Zhao felt jealous.

It’s better to be a fool, without any worries!
