Gu Junming was right. The assassin last night obviously approached Ji Xiaqing with some purpose.

They even arranged two people to act as a feint attack.

At first glance, there are indeed many doubts. The fact that humans and monsters can cooperate is incredible.

The two continued walking and stopping.

Gu Junming bought a few hot meat buns from the freshly baked bun stall.

Then he took Xiao Jianxin to a noodle shop in front.

The store was deserted, but quiet and comfortable.

"Hey, two bowls of Tieniu beef noodles, one without chopped green onions, and two with extra beef."

"Okay!"

Hearing Gu Junming's shouting, Xiao Jianxin felt puzzled and asked, "What kind of cow is Iron Ox?"

"How could I know that?"

Gu Junming pointed outside and said with a smile:

"The sign says Tie Niu. I think he's the owner or the chef, or maybe both."

"Eat it, I bought it all for you..."

Please fill the stomach of Xiao Jianxin, who was living in poverty.

Then the two continued to stroll around Pinglan Manor.

To be precise, he asked Xiao Jianxin to take him to the home of the victim, whom he had not visited before, to interrogate the situation.

After a few exchanges, the dialogue was the same as what Xiao Jianxin had asked before, and even he himself couldn't help but doubt it.

Doesn’t the eldest brother trust him?

If not, why ask this question again?

Naturally, the results obtained were consistent with those obtained by Xiao Jianxin previously, with no findings.

"Speaking of which, Second Brother, have you ever had any close contact with the two Highnesses before?"

Gu Junming suddenly asked.

"Of course there is, but only on the surface."

What this means is that Xiao Jianxin didn't have a deep understanding of the other party, and was just putting on a show of support for the purpose of protection.

Gu Junming nodded thoughtfully and asked again, "The family we are going to visit soon will be the last one and the one that was killed recently, right?"

"That's right." Xiao Jianxin replied.

"Ho Ho,"

Walking on the road, Gu Junming suddenly smiled. He looked into the distance and mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally:

"Twelve years ago, there was a plague in Pinglan Village. A landlord had ten thousand acres of fertile land and a surplus of food."

"They should have been spared from the disaster, but the landlord's eldest daughter was kind-hearted and generously used her surplus food to help the people."

Escape from disaster...

Xiao Jianxin frowned secretly. What did the senior brother mean? Is there anything wrong with saving the world and the people?

"The eldest daughter, despite all dissuasion, insisted on using the remaining food, under the pretext of protecting the clan's reputation."

"Later, someone contracted the disease, but harbored evil intentions, resenting the heavens and the earth. He wanted everyone here to go to hell with him, so he threw a dead rat into his morning porridge..."

Hearing this, Xiao Jianxin felt heavy-hearted.

He hated people who would destroy something if they couldn't get it. They had good intentions, whether they were motivated by fame or wealth or had some other purpose, at least they had a kind heart.

But this kind of person just doesn't appreciate it.

He also wants to harm others. Even if he dies, it would be fine, but he blames the heaven and the earth and insists on dragging everyone down with him!

"As a result, over a hundred people in the landlord's household were infected with the plague. Furthermore, those who consumed the landlord's food were also affected, causing the already narrowed scope of the disaster to escalate rapidly, with nearly the entire village infected."

Xiao Jianxin opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

According to the eldest brother, the landlord's family also has a certain responsibility. If it weren't for his eldest daughter's insistence on saving people, perhaps the plague could be controlled and more people could survive.

"Are you confused about this?"

Gu Junming looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "This was obviously a good thing, why did it end up like this?"

Xiao Jianxin suddenly felt dry in the mouth. Thinking about it, he was no different from the eldest daughter of a landlord.

If it were him, he might do the same, but as for the consequences... he hadn't thought about it.

"What if I told you that the landlord's entire family died, and it wasn't caused by the plague? What would you think?"

Gu Junming crushed Xiao Jianxin's Dao heart one sentence at a time. After he finished speaking, he did not wait for the other party to reply and continued to sigh:

"Some people thought that all these disasters were caused by the landlords, so in the dead of night, they blocked all the exits with wooden stakes and set fire to everything."

"And this fire happened less than a night before the arrival of the 'miracle doctor'..."

"In the end, almost everyone was rescued, except for the landlord's family and a very small number of the elderly, weak, and disabled."

Gu Junming only learned the truth later.

But the incident has already happened, and it has been too long, so who exactly framed the landlord's family is still shrouded in mystery.

But now, he seems to have some clues...

Xiao Jianxin walked side by side, with his head down and no words.

He has heard of many cases where good intentions led to bad results.

But the story that Gu Junming told about the eldest daughter of a landlord donating grain for the people made him feel melancholy.

The eldest daughter of the landlord had done nothing wrong, so why was God so unfair and sent such misfortune upon her?

Perhaps, it is not God who is unfair, but the dirty and selfish human heart...

They walked all the way to the house of Mr. Zhang, who had lost his young master.

The servant, who had met Gu Junming several times before, glared at him and said rudely:

"You guys again, what are you doing here?!"

Xiao Jianxin was just about to say that they were from the Righteous Alliance and came here to eliminate the evil.

But Gu Junming waved his hand.

Indicate to him to take over next.

"Don't we all know what to do?"

Gu Junming took out a copper coin from his sleeve with a smile on his face, placed it in his palm and presented it to the servant.

"What do you mean, are you still coming?"

The servant had been fooled once and was no longer willing to accept this trick. He put his hands on his hips and sneered:

"I advise you to give up. No matter what you say this time, I won't take you in!"

"I was wrong last time. This is a small token of my appreciation."

Gu Junming lowered his attitude.

"piss off!"

"The dynasty has a rule that it is illegal not to accept copper coins."

"Go away!"

"Mr. Zhang, you saw it all. We, the Righteous Alliance, are not bullying the weak. It was the people in your house who refused to let us in. Don't say we haven't been here before."

Feeling the cold gaze from behind him, the servant was struck by lightning. He immediately put on a smile that was harder than crying, turned around, and said with a forced face:

"Master, I..."

"What are you?!"

After losing his son, Mr. Zhang looked unwell and spoke in a weak voice.

But he still blew his beard and glared and said:

"Why would I keep a slave like you? Hurry up and welcome the distinguished guest into the house and prepare some good tea for him!"

"No need to bother, I'll wait and see and then leave."

Gu Junming flicked his thumb.

The copper coin flew straight into the plaque hanging above, causing it to get stuck firmly.

"Mr. Zhang, your door number plate should be repaired, otherwise if it hurts someone, you will have to pay compensation later."
