The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

"Let me see... this, a boy died in this family last night!"

Yu Xiaoyao pointed to a well-built house and said.

Looking up, neatly arranged wreaths stood quietly on both sides of the gate.

The petals on the ground condense countless silent griefs and silently express the remembrance of the deceased.

Men and women in sackcloth robes came in an endless stream, their expressions solemn and their steps slow.

It seemed as if he came with a heavy heart and left with endless sorrow.

Pure white clothing has become a bridge connecting life and death...

After getting closer.

The mournful cries became clearer and clearer.

"Wow, my poor child... You are so young, what did I do wrong, ah..."

The woman's cries were so heartbreaking that they tore at every inch of tranquility in the air, and everyone who heard them was moved.

It is a direct expression of emotion, a regret for life, and a helpless acceptance of the eternal separation from loved ones.

"Ma'am, please accept my condolences."

Overnight, the woman's hair turned white. When they first saw her, they thought she was the child's grandmother. Unexpectedly, she was a mother who had lost her son.

Gu Junming's mood also became heavy as the atmosphere on the scene, and he sighed softly.

The most painful thing in the world is to see a loved one die.

"Do you want to go in?" Wen Zixi asked.

"If I go in now..."

Gu Junming hesitated for a moment.

The family was obviously holding a funeral, and if they barged in so abruptly, they might cause secondary mental trauma to the mother who had lost her child.

"Just wait."

Gu Junming looked around and planned to find a servant in the mansion to inquire about the situation first. It would be best if the servant could lead them in quietly and not disturb the farewell ceremony of the common people for their loved ones.

Waited patiently for a moment.

A man with patched clothes, who looked like a servant, came out carrying a bamboo basket.

Gu Junming immediately stepped forward to intercept him, startling the servant who was cursing his master in a low voice.

"Don't be nervous, we are from the Orthodox Alliance."

Gu Junming first revealed his identity.

Then he continued, "We have been ordered to investigate the case of a demon attack. May I ask, sir, did you notice anything unusual last night?"

The servant put down the bamboo basket, patted his bony chest, took a deep breath, and said with a reproachful look:

"If you say he is a member of the Righteous Alliance, then he is a member of the Righteous Alliance?"

"Why should I believe you? Is there any evidence?"

“Of course there is a basis for this.”

Gu Junming had already anticipated this situation.

He winked at Yu Xiaoyao, who understood and took out the token representing the membership of the Zhengmeng Alliance from her waist and handed it to the skeptical servant.

In fact, this servant didn't recognize what the token was. He just felt that Gu Junming suddenly appeared to scare him and didn't want to give him a good face.

But seeing that the three men all looked fearless, the servant began to hesitate.

Perhaps because he thought it was no secret, the servant turned his eyes cunningly and stretched out a hand.

Gu Junming shook his head helplessly and handed over an insignificant copper coin.

"Oh, you're finally here."

The servant immediately stuffed the copper coin into his arms and said in panic, "Last night, evil winds howled and dark clouds obscured the moon. My young master slept soundly, and suddenly died the next day!"

"Tell me, isn't this something dirty that's harming people?"

Gu Junming hesitated for a moment and asked, "What does it look like to die?"

He had to first make sure that it was a monster that was hurting people, rather than someone trying to kill for money.

“That’s strange, huh.”

The servant looked around like a thief and whispered in a low voice, "He was soundly asleep, but he stopped breathing inexplicably this morning. The windows are locked tightly, not even a fly can get in."

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else..."

The servant stepped forward, approached Gu Junming, and whispered, "I suspect the maid who slept with the master had an affair with him. She was jealous of the old lady, so she poisoned the young master to death!"

"These two often exchange glances, and everyone in the mansion knows it."

"After all, think about it, where do monsters and demons come from in this world?" the servant said confidently.

Ordinary people living under the protection of the Eastern Divine Territory's Righteous Alliance rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with the thing called "demon".

Even the evil cultivators who kill without blinking an eye in the martial arts world are just murderers and robbers in their eyes.

Gu Junming raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the puzzled Wen Zixi and Yu Xiaoyao.

Everyone was surprised by this result.

But to be honest...the servant's reasons are indeed more convincing.

"Can you show us inside?"

Seeing the embarrassment in the servant's eyes, Gu Junming waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we are just here to investigate the situation. We will never say anything that we shouldn't say."

As he said this, he rummaged through his sleeve and took out a copper coin.

"This isn't about money. The whole family is in mourning for the young master..."

Gu Junming reached into his sleeve again, and this time it was a silver dollar.

"Look at you, why don't you listen to advice?"

The servant remained reserved, but his eyes were quietly observing Gu Junming's actions, wanting to see if he would take out another gold treasure next.

"If all else fails, I can only ask your master for help."

Gu Junming glanced at the servant and said intentionally or unintentionally: "But I can't control my mouth. I often say things that have nothing to do with the facts..."

"Do you threaten me?"

The servant's eyes widened.

"three......"

"Damn, the Zhengmeng is amazing!"

"two......"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you in, stop counting!"

The servant hurriedly grabbed Gu Junming's finger that was about to fall and showed a servile smile.

He smiled apologetically and said, "But let me make it clear in advance, if the master finds out later, I am innocent..."

"Right, three lords from the Righteous Alliance?"

"I understand everything."

Gu Junming said with a stern face: "But you have to return the gold and treasure you took from me first, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen next."

Wen Zixi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and looked at Gu Junming hesitantly.

Didn't the senior brother just give me two copper coins and a silver dollar? Where did the gold come from...

Yu Xiaoyao was also confused. Senior Brother Gu was actually such a person...

"you you you......"

The servant was in disbelief. What a joke! When did he receive the gold treasure?!

"Humph, since you won't give it to me, then I can only go to your master and ask for it myself!"

After saying that, Gu Junming took a step and walked towards the mansion.

"Hey, hey, hey, I only have nine silver dollars left on me. How about I use two copper coins to pay for the missing one?" The servant showed an expression that was uglier than crying.

What a sin! How can this be considered a righteous alliance?

He's clearly a robber!

"Tsk! Whatever, a little is better than nothing."
