Chapter 61 Retreating to Advance

His eyes were fixed on Gu Tianhua, with anger and despair flashing in his eyes.

He wanted to rush over and grab Gu Tianhua's neck, asking him why he was so stupid and why he made such a mess. However, the reality was cruel. At this point, even the uncle who was known as Gu Tianqiao would be powerless to save the situation.

"Jealous, cruel, and indiscriminately murderous, he has no mercy at all. There is not a single redeeming quality in him. Kill him!"

The picture was frozen in Gu Tianhua's arrogant sneer, as if time had stopped.

However, the next moment, Gu Tianhua, who had been trembling and shouting crazily, suddenly froze in expression, and his body began to tremble violently, as if controlled by an invisible force.

With a slight muffled sound, Gu Tianhua's entire body was annihilated like ashes, disappearing without a trace, without even a trace of ashes left.

"Gu Yunzhou, my dear, you and I have an irreconcilable feud. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go. All my descendants will fight to the death if they see my second son in the future! I am leaving now!"

Before anyone could recover from the shocking scene, they heard the dejected Liang Zhifu suddenly yell. His voice was as shrill as a ghost, making people's hair stand on end.

Those wide eyes were filled with endless resentment and anger, staring at Gu Yunzhou intently. When he looked at Gu Yunzhou, the strong hatred made the people around him feel a chill, and they couldn't help but tighten their collars.

At this moment, Magistrate Liang had completely lost his mind. He cursed Gu Yunzhou furiously, vowing to make his descendants fight him to the death. His words echoed in the air for a long time, as if a fierce ghost would rush out and devour anyone at any moment.

Gu Yunzhou stood there quietly, watching everything happening before his eyes with an expressionless face. His eyes were deep and indifferent, and he didn't care about anything in front of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw that Prefect Liang's eyes suddenly became unfocused, and then his body collapsed to the ground as if it had lost its support. If it weren't for the light emitted by the Zhengxin Ruler to support his body, he would have fallen from the sky and been smashed to pieces.

"He...he died just like that?" someone in the crowd said in astonishment.

"What's going on? It was clearly Gu Tianhua who committed the crime and was judged by Saint Ou. Why is Lord Liang also here to join in the fun?" another person asked in confusion.

"No way, I just blinked. Has a long time passed? Did I miss some important plot?" Someone else scratched his head in confusion.

The people were bewildered and confused by the sudden action of the Liang magistrate. They had never seen anyone rush to his death so eagerly.

Could it be that Prefect Liang himself had done something shameful, and fearing further scandal would be exposed during the Heaven and Earth Questioning Conscience test, he had chosen to commit suicide first? After all, no one had ever heard of Heaven and Earth Questioning Conscience being able to question a dead person.

However, the noble families standing nearby all had stern expressions. The common people did not understand, but they knew very well that Magistrate Liang was afraid of implicating the people who had instigated his origins, so he wanted to die and put an end to it all, and at least his family would not be implicated.

If something really happened to Prefect Liang, his end would not be a simple death. It would inevitably lead to crazy revenge from the people behind the scenes. It was because he saw this clearly that Prefect Liang resolutely committed suicide.

"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place!" A young man from a noble family who once had a close relationship with Prefect Liang was filled with emotion, and then ordered his followers to bury Prefect Liang's body and send it back to the Liang family after the matter was over.

"Humph, this Gu Yunzhou is so arrogant. He even forced the governor of a state to death. This is simply ridiculous!"

Fang Youxi's face was ashen, and his words were full of dissatisfaction. His words were actually agreed by many children of aristocratic families present. It was nothing more than the grief of the rabbit's death. Today, Gu Yunzhou, out of hatred, dared to take a radical approach and directly drag the governor of a state into the water. Who knows whether the fate of Governor Liang will be the same as his own tomorrow.

Thinking of this, many people who had originally wanted to make friends with Gu Yunzhou secretly gave up the idea. They decided to observe and see what kind of character this boy had. Maybe he was just a young man acting on impulse. Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Fang Youhui's mouth curled up slightly.

The figures in the sky continued to appear. Not long after Gu Tianhua died, Gu Jin, dressed in gorgeous clothes, suddenly appeared in the air. Compared with Gu Tianhua's arrogance and ignorance, he quickly realized what had happened.

Gu Jin first took a deep look at his panicked eldest son, then scanned the field and did not see his youngest son. He staggered and sadness flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly calmed down and, with a hoarse voice, looked at Gu Yunzhou and said, "Yunzhou, we are originally from the same clan and worship the same ancestor. Don't forget that your last name is Gu. Since childhood, you have been blessed by the Gu family and received enlightenment education in my Gu family school. The Gu family has done you a favor."

At this point, he paused briefly, as if awaiting Gu Yunzhou's response. He then continued, "I admit, my Hua'er was indeed a disappointment, and that was due to my failure as a father to raise him well. Now that he's dead, all grudges are settled. I will have the Gu family withdraw their false accusations against you and offer you a Diji treasure as compensation. I only hope you can let us go. I promise I will never trouble you again."

After saying these words, Gu Jin's eyes revealed a hint of expectation and pleading, and he waited quietly for Gu Yunzhou's answer.

Seeing that he remained silent, he added, "Don't you want to study? Your mother is weak. My Gu family is willing to pay 100 gold. We only ask that you please consider our fellow clansmen and not kill them all." His words were full of helplessness and compromise, as if he had already made the biggest concession.

Gu Jin completely lowered his posture, his face full of loneliness and grief, his voice choked to the point of being speechless. This look made many people feel a little sympathy for him.

Everyone was discussing, "Gu Jin looks so pitiful. After all, the culprit is dead, and the Gu family is willing to compensate. That's a geomantic treasure, there are only a few of them in the entire Beichen!"

Someone exclaimed, "Wow, that's a lot of money! 100 gold is enough for a family of four to live a carefree life, not to mention the Earthly Treasure. The Gu family is really generous!"

Someone else chimed in, "Yeah, I don't think Gu Jin looks like a bad guy. His son is dead, and death is like the extinguishing of a candle. Let's forget about the past! Besides, the Gu family was kind to Gu Yunzhou. If it weren't for the Gu family, he probably wouldn't even be able to read right now!"

These words changed people's impression of Gu Jin. They began to feel that he was not so hateful, and even a little pitiful.
