My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

……

Gu Xin and Gu si had just left the palace when they saw Lu Zheng waiting for someone with his horse.

“Brother Yuanyuan!” Gu Xin alighted from the carriage and ran forward. Gu si followed closely behind and went over to greet Lu Zheng, ” brother ah Yuan.

“Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for a long time.” Lu Zheng touched Gu Xin’s head and smiled. I promised to bring you out for a ride a few days ago, but it’s already dark.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. We can also go now!” Gu Xin was just about to talk to Lu Zheng about the case when she turned to Gu si. sister sisi, you can go back first. Tell my family that I’ll be back in two hours at most!

“Alright! Third sister, you have to come back soon, or second uncle will be angry.” Gu si nodded and instructed.

“Yes, I know.” Gu Xin nodded.

After Gu si left in the carriage, Gu Xin got on Lu Zheng’s horse. Lu Zheng led the horse and walked, ” “Are you hungry? I’ll take you to eat something. There was a restaurant on the East Street that sold delicious braised noodles. And your favorite wine meatball!”

Gu Xin nodded,’sure! Let’s go eat.”

Lu Zheng didn’t Mount the horse and just led the horse along.

The curfew in the capital was only after midnight, so the streets and alleys were very lively.

Lu Zheng liked this feeling. He hoped that they could continue walking like this, to the end, to the end, to the end, and never separate.

Gu Xin told Lu Zheng about what happened today while they were on horseback. Lu Zheng had already gone to the Gu family to look for Gu Xin after getting off the taxi, so he knew about it. However, he still patiently waited for Gu Xin to finish.

He was shocked when he heard Gu Xin say that the Emperor had taught her about the murder case in the suburbs.

Lu Zheng was currently working in the Ministry of War and it just so happened that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen were right next to each other. Hence, he knew more about this case than what Gu Xin had heard from others.

This case was a little tricky.

Wang village in the suburbs of Beijing was a relatively large village, and it was also the closest village to Beijing. Most of the villagers in that village had the surname Wang, and because it was close to Beijing, as long as you weren’t lazy, your family life was quite good. Many families in the village were better off than those in the county.

This time, the ones who died were one of the more well-off families in the village. Seventeen of them, four generations in the same house. Grandpa and Grandma, three sons and three daughters-in-law, one daughter, five grandsons, two granddaughters, one granddaughter-in-law, and one great-grandson.

The old man brought his sons to farm and raise pigs, while the old lady raised a lot of chickens with her three daughter-in-law. His five grandsons were all in school. The eldest grandson had even become a scholar. He married his granddaughter-in-law in the twelfth month of the year before last and had a great-grandson in the twelfth month of the year before.

The door of this house was closed. The neighbor knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. She stood at the door and scolded for a long time, but no one answered. Even the dog didn’t bark. She felt that something was wrong, so she ran to find the Lizheng. The Lizheng decided to get the people next door to knock the door open. Their big yellow Dog was lying in the yard, foaming at the mouth. The main room and kitchen doors were closed from the inside, so the Lizheng asked someone to knock the door open.

Then, he found out that all 17 members of the family had died.
