Chapter 184: Mourning Hall Conflict
Liu Ziyi looked a little angry and said, "Mr. Gu, you are not afraid of your jokes. The Liu family originated from my father and made great reputations with my father's punches. But he worked hard to raise a group of white-eyed women.
He had just died and his body was not cold. The entire Liu family began to fight internally. No one thought about finding the murderer to avenge him. They all thought about how to divide the interests of the Liu family. Although I am the legitimate daughter, I am a slight person and no one listened to me. So I was forced to come to the second young master's sect."
Gu Mo was a little surprised and said, "As far as I know, Ling Zun is known as the mountain and river of fist. He has always been respected by Yanxi Jianghu as the number one master of Yanxi and a great master. Now he is mysteriously dead, and no one of his confidants has come forward?"
Liu Ziyi sighed and said, "Mr. Gu doesn't know that I have another half-brother. My father's confidant wants to make my younger brother the head as soon as possible. In addition, my father later took that wife and also wanted to make my younger brother the head of the house. In order not to cause any changes, he directly claimed to the public that my father died of a sudden illness.
At the same time, the Liu family's lineage also wanted to compete for the position of head of the family, and was unwilling to investigate the truth about my father's death, for fear of the emergence of trouble. So the two groups coincided and directly concluded that my father died of illness."
Hearing this, Gu Mo said in confusion: "So, in this way, the Liu family does not admit the accident when Ling Zun's death?"
Liu Ziyi nodded and said, "Now, I am the only one who insists on finding out the truth for my father. Lord Gu, my father cannot die of illness. He is in his prime and has a great master in his cultivation. He has no hidden diseases and injuries. How could he die suddenly!"
Liu Ziyi was a little excited.
Gu Mo hurriedly comforted him: "Miss Liu, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to investigate the truth of Ling Zun's death. Then, I will ask you to help you."
Liu Ziyi hurriedly said, "This is what I should do. The adults can help me investigate the truth. The little girl is so grateful!"
Just then,
Li Zeqian asked again: "Miss Liu, can you tell me what is happening to the Liu family now?"
Liu Ziyi nodded and said softly: "The date of my father's burial is set at the seventeenth day of this month, which is five days later. Now, the Liu family is still calm on the surface, because everyone is waiting for my father's burial. All I can fight for is to postpone the time for my father's burial by ten days. It was originally scheduled for the seventh day of this month."
Li Zeqian and Gu Mo looked at each other,
Li Zeqian continued to ask again.
Liu Ziyi told all the current situation of the Liu family without reservation.
After a basic understanding of the situation of the Liu family,
Gu Mo took the people and set off overnight and brought Li Zeqian with him.
...
On May 17th, early morning, light rain is drizzling.
A team of men wearing straw raincoats and hats came outside Lijiang City.
When the leader took out Xing Tianwei's token, the soldiers at the city gate hurriedly let it go. The drizzle was drizzling, and a small amount of water on the ground splashed in the horse's hooves.
The leader is Gu Mo.
After learning about the situation of the Liu family, Gu Mo and Li Zeqian immediately decided to rush to the Liu family as soon as possible and rushed to the Liu family before Liu Zhengyuan was buried. Otherwise, if Liu Zhengyuan was buried, the matter would be difficult to deal with. The Liu family insisted that they died of illness, and Xing Tianwei could not dig a grave.
This time, Gu Mo brought not many people with light clothes and simple travel. He mainly brought several innate monks led by Huya, and secondly, Ding Chi, deputy inspector of the Handan Inspection Office, also brought several people.
It’s not that Gu Mo didn’t want to bring more people, but the main reason was that the matter was too urgent. He set out directly from Lingyun City. At that time, there were only a few people under his command in Lingyun City.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the rain is hazy,
White cloth was flying outside the Liujia Manor, and two big white lanterns fell at the gate.
In the manor, the sound of suona was wailing, and it was accompanied by crying everywhere.
The funeral is about to begin!
Countless guests retreated to the sides, and a large coffin was placed in the middle of the lobby. A group of mourning people were kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, with the atmosphere very depressing.
"The time has come, and the funeral is coming!"
As an old man shouted a gift, he shouted loudly.
Dozens of young and middle-aged men who had already prepared began to carry coffins.
"Let's wait!"
However, at this moment, a shout came,
Outside the lobby, a few straw raincoat guests suddenly rushed in, all of whom were wearing swords around their waists, neatly arranged.
In an instant,
Both the guests and the people who wear mourning clothes in the Liu family were a little surprised.
I subconsciously thought that some enemy was coming to make trouble.
Immediately, someone in the Liu family said in a deep voice: "Everyone, as the saying goes, the dead are the greatest. No matter what kind of grudges you have, please discuss it after the funeral is held!"
"Your Excellency has misunderstood!"
A leading guest of straw raincoat took off his hat. It was Ding Chi, the deputy inspector of Handan Prefecture. He held a token and said in a deep voice: "The Xingtian Guard in Yanxi, under the order of the first emperor, investigate the sudden death of the great master Liu Zhengyuan. He also asked everyone in the Liu family to understand, suspend the funeral, and choose the funeral period!"
As Ding Chi finished speaking,
A riot suddenly caused.
At this moment, Ding Chi hurriedly said: "The person in charge of the case handler this time is Gu Mogu, the deputy chief of Yanxi!"
It was raining heavily,
The guests were silent, while the Liu family stood under the eaves of the lobby, with none of them looking very good.
Of course, it can be understood,
After all, no one will be happy if something like a funeral is delayed.
However, the name of Xingtianwei and the name of the first emperor,
No one from the Liu family spoke.
Gu Mo walked in from the crowd,
He went straight to the mourning hall, lit three incense sticks and bowed, turned around and looked at the members of the Liu family, and bowed: "Everyone, this official Gu Mo, the inspector of Yanxilin Central Palace, and Yanxi's acting chief officer!"
In an instant,
Another riot in the crowd,
Many people are whispering, just like Liu Ziyi first saw Gu Mo, they were shocking Gu Mo's youth. Moreover, in the past few days, the incident of Gu Mo's defeat of the Grandmaster and Judge Nie Hong has been widely spread among the people in the martial arts world, and many people know about it.
Gu Mo is also known as the youngest master in Cangzhou.
The name of the master is powerful enough.
Gu Mo continued to say loudly: "You shouldn't have been cleaned up at this time, but as a great master of the generation and leader of the Yanxi martial arts world, the head of the Liu family died suddenly. My Xingtianwei has the right to return the truth to the world and the Grand Master Liu. Therefore, please suspend the funeral and cooperate with the investigation!"
As soon as the words were finished, everyone in the Liu family looked at each other.
Just then,
A young man wearing mourning clothes suddenly stood up and said coldly: "You Xingtianwei are unreasonable. Don't you understand the deceased's cause? You said that you will stop the funeral. Moreover, my father died of illness, so there is no strange death. I don't care whether you are the chief officer or the first emperor. Today, the funeral is determined, so you can't do it any more!"
Gu Mo looked at the young man, slowly took out a document from his arms and said, "The first order is here. The Liu family will suspend the funeral and choose the funeral period!"
"Go to your mother's order," the young man angrily took off the official document and said, "It's useless for anyone to come, it's a pity!"
Gu Mo didn't move,
The official document was allowed to fly slowly and flew out of the eaves, and the rain instantly drenched.
At that moment,
The faces of the Liu family changed.
Gu Mo raised his eyelids slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xing Tianwei obeyed the order, and the Liu family openly disobeyed the order to destroy the first emperor, intending to rebel, so they took it down for me,
