Chapter 1715 Elegy

Chapter 1715 Elegy

In Huizhou, Gu Xianting had already learned about the misfortune of her natal family, and she endured the grief to deal with the funeral affairs. Also present were the former head of the Suzhou Gu family, Gu Wanru, and the new head of the family, Gu Xuan.

This time, Gu Xuan brought nine of the Gu family's eighteen tigers and the Gu family's tiger guards, obviously intending to seek revenge and settle accounts.

In a makeshift tent, officials of all ranks, including the Huizhou governor, trembled in fear, fearing that Gu Xuan would vent his anger on them and use them to sacrifice to Ling Huiyuan's family.

Gu Xuan said solemnly, "Sir Li, the seven-day deadline has expired. Can you find out the real culprit?"

Upon hearing this, Huizhou Governor Li Zaidao could not help but break out in a cold sweat. Over the past seven days, he had tried his best to investigate, but in the end he could not find even a single clue.

Moreover, several local green-clad constables who assisted in the investigation, several red-clad constables who came down from the Six Gates, and one purple-clad constable all disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. This shows how deep the water behind this is, and how powerful the force that murdered Gu Quan is.

Li Zaidao held it in for a long time, but when he opened his mouth, he asked, "Master Gu San, have you received a letter from the Li family in Luoyang?"

He was a descendant of the Li Clan in Luoyang. Naturally, he could not handle this matter, so he wrote a letter to the head of the Li Clan for help.

Gu Xuan took out a letter from his arms: "This is a letter Li Huichao wrote to me, but I haven't read it yet."

Li Zaidao was surprised and delighted: "Please read it, Third Master."

Gu Xuan said calmly: "I'm not going to look at it." The implication was that he didn't even give face to the Luoyang Li family.

Li Zaidao said hurriedly: "Third Master, I wrote a letter to ask for the help of Master Li. Maybe Master Li has already found the real culprit."

Gu Xuan then opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he sneered, crumpled the letter into a ball and turned it into ashes. Obviously, this letter that pleaded for Li Zaidao but did not find out the real murderer did not satisfy him.

Li Zaidao's face turned pale, knowing that his only way out was to die to atone for his sins.

Just then there was a commotion outside. Some people shouted that the son-in-law had arrived, while others shouted that Lord Xie had arrived.

Everyone saw a dusty young man, led by Zhi Duohu, striding into the tent.

"Third Master!"

Gu Xuan stood up happily: "Xie Fu!" Gu Xuan was very happy to see that Xie Fu was safe and sound. While dealing with the funeral affairs of Linghui Garden these days, he was also very worried about Xie Fu's safety. From the moment he saw King Qi Qin Chuzhen, he knew who Xie Fu's enemy was.

Everyone in the account looked at Xie Fu. This person should be the famous Huainan Circuit Jiedushi Xie Fu, also the son-in-law of Huizhou Gu family.

Xie Fu said solemnly: "Third Master, the chief culprit has been eliminated!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan applauded loudly. All the officials in Huizhou, both high and low, breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes all fell on the box in Xie Fu's hand. Could it be that the box contained the head of the main culprit?

Gu Xuan's eyes also fell on the box, and Xie Fu said, "Third Master, let's find a place where it's convenient for us to talk."

Gu Xuan waved to Li Zaidao and the others: "You guys leave first."

If Li Zaidao and others were pardoned, they would not even dare to know who the main culprit was.

After the officials from Huizhou left, there were still Gu Xuan's men in the tent. Xie Fu glanced at them, and Gu Xuan immediately understood: "Zhi Duohu, you all leave as well."

Xie Fu then opened the box. When Gu Xuan saw the head inside the box, he was shocked and then looked sad: "Who is the murderer?"

"Qin Xiaofu!"

Gu Xuan naturally knew what this name represented. Even if he sacrificed the entire Gu clan, he would still not be able to avenge this great hatred. He asked softly, "Is he dead?"

The news of the late emperor's death had already spread throughout the Daguan Kingdom, but it did not mean that Qin Xiaofu was really dead.

Xie Fu nodded: "His other identity is the Earth Sect's leader Zhenwu Xuantian Zhenren."

Gu Xuan was slightly surprised: "Linghuiyuan was murdered. Was it done by the Taoist Dizong?"

Xie Fu shook his head: "I have asked Zhang Lingluo to investigate this matter and find out all the people involved in this matter."

Gu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Okay, Xie Fu, just go ahead and do it." The implication was that he would do it even if it meant becoming an enemy of the Taoist sect.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "You don't need to bother me with this matter anymore, Third Master. Xie Fu will do it well."

Gu Xuan said calmly: "Master Xie, you don't have to worry about implicating me in this matter. Since I attacked Qin Chuzhen and the golden-armored warrior, I have been involved."

"Third Master protected Xie Fu's family, but Xie Fu has not thanked Third Master yet."

"What are you talking about? You and I are a family. Your business is my business. As for the Immortal Court..."

Gu Xuan choked up and couldn't speak. After a while, he sighed and said, "You are her husband. You are the only relative she has left now."

After a while, Xie Fu saw Xiu'er, whose eyes were swollen from crying: "Uncle."

Xie Fu tried his best to control his emotions and asked softly, "Xiu'er, where is Xianting?"

Xiu'er said sadly, "Young lady has refused to eat or drink these days, and she also refuses to talk to me. Master, you must persuade Young lady to cheer up."

Xie Fu nodded.

"Miss, my uncle is back."

Gu Xianting, dressed in linen mourning clothes, sat motionless. His once rosy cheeks had become bony and he looked extremely haggard, like a walking corpse. He ignored Xiu'er's cries.

Xiu'er called out softly again: "Miss, the uncle is back."

Gu Xianting seemed to have closed himself off and showed no reaction.

Xiu'er whispered, "This is how the young lady has been these days."

Xie Fu nodded, motioned Xiu'er to go out first, walked up to Gu Xianting, and said softly, "Xianting."

However, there was nothing in Gu Xianting's eyes, even his expression was frozen, without any reaction at all.

Xie Fu hugged her and said, "Xian Ting, it's me. I'm back."

After a few breaths, Gu Xianting's body began to tremble, his lifeless pupils began to focus, and he burst into tears with a cry.

Xie Fu felt guilty and sad, and said, "I have avenged my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Gu Xianting just cried, and Xie Fu comforted her: "Cry, just cry as much as you can..."

After venting, Gu Xianting returned to the world from hell. Although his face was full of sadness, he regained some consciousness and looked at the box on the table gently.

Although Xie Fu couldn't bear it, he still had to face it: "It's my father-in-law."

Gu Xianting opened the box with trembling hands, and when he saw his father's head, he fainted on the spot.

Xie Fu stayed by Gu Xianting's side all the time. Gu Xianting woke up from nightmares several times. He cried when he woke up and fell into a deep sleep when he was tired of crying.

It was not until midnight that Xie Fu coaxed her to drink some porridge and told her that he still had to prepare for the funeral of his father-in-law and mother-in-law and she needed to cheer up.

The next day, Zhang Lingluo returned with dozens of heads: "Uncle Fu, kill all those involved in this incident."

Xuanzong and his men spread out several cloth bags, and dozens of blood-stained heads were rolling on the ground.

Xie Fu felt somewhat comforted and ordered the head to be taken down and used to commemorate all the dead souls in Linghui Garden on the day of the funeral. He asked in a low voice: "Ling Luo, I asked you to investigate the life and death of my mother-in-law. Did you get any results?"

Zhang Lingluo said sadly: "Uncle Fu, I have questioned several people in succession, and they all said that they saw Vice-Honest Lu die in the sea of ​​fire with their own eyes."

Even though she knew this was the outcome, Xie Fu couldn't help but feel her legs fluttering. How could Qin Xiaofu let her go...

"Uncle Fu, where is my Aunt Ting?"

Xie Fu didn't want Zhang Lingluo to disturb the fairy court. Thinking that he would have to help with the funeral arrangements these days, he finally said, "Lingluo, please take good care of your aunt Ting these days."

Zhang Lingluo nodded.

When they were in Suzhou, Zhang Lingluo and Gu Xianting had already developed a deep relationship. When she saw Gu Xianting's sad appearance, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

The two women cried together as they talked...

A grand funeral was held the next day. Dozens of heads were laid out on the table, eye-catching, to commemorate the dead souls of Linghui Garden. They were later buried in the Gu Family Cemetery at the foot of Mount Huangshan.

Gu Xianting stood silently in front of the tombstone. Others did not come forward to persuade him, but left one after another. For others, it was just a funeral, but for Gu Xianting, it was the loss of a loved one.

Gu Wanru, the old patriarch of the Gu family, had always treated Gu Xianting as his own granddaughter and stayed with her until the end. When it was getting late, he walked up to Xie Fu and said softly, "Master Xie, Xianting only has you as her relative." Now her husband was the only relative she had, and everyone else could only be considered relatives.

Xie Fuying said, "Master Gu, don't worry."

Gu Wanru nodded and left accompanied by Gu Xuan.

The scenery here is absolutely beautiful. The lake is like an emerald inlaid among the surrounding mountains. The lake water is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and the green foothills of the mountains.

As the sun sets, golden light fills the earth, and the sunset glows on the mountains, colorful and beautiful.

Xie Fu couldn't help but think of the scene where he and Lu Yehua lived and died together in the Immortal Demon Formation. It was she who carried him across mountains and seas regardless of life and death, and never left him...

When I thought of her being buried here forever, I was filled with sorrow and sang the following poem:

The glittering golden light leaps lightly over the lake, the breeze is in the heart, the setting sun is like rouge dyed on the face, the pear-shaped eyebrows and the black hair.

The morning stars are floating in the wind, and there is a pair of beautiful shadows, as if they are in a painting. The golden orchid seems to be carrying the heavy cloud shoulders all night long, covering the mud and stealing the red.

The green mountains are reflected in the lake. You can smell the water and enjoy the mountain scenery. The floating clouds are like cotton wool, wandering freely in the sky, as if they are free and unrestrained.

Yesterday she...

As Xie Fu sang, his throat became hoarse and tears flowed into his heart.

After dealing with the funeral of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xie Fu and Gu Xianting returned to Suzhou. In order to help Gu Xianting relieve his grief, they went boating all the way. Zhang Lingluo, Chen Qinglan and Xiu'er also went with them.

As Gu Xianting's personal maid, Xiu'er dared not touch Gu Xianting's sad memories and was very careful in everything she did.

On the contrary, Zhang Lingluo joked with Gu Xianting every day, and finally made Gu Xianting smile, and the gloom on his face dissipated a little.

Xie Fu saw this and felt very relieved. Yes, the dead are gone, and the living are still here. We should mourn and accept the change.

In fact, the grief in his heart was no less than that in Gu Xianting's, but he buried it deep inside and covered it up with smiles and compliance.

It would have taken several days by horseback, but it took more than twenty days by water to reach Suzhou.

As soon as she arrived at Tan Tai Mansion, Tan Tai He Qing showed concern for Gu Xian Ting and completely ignored her husband Xie Fu who she had not seen for many days.

It was not until this moment that the busy and toilsome Xie Fu saw his son who was several months old. Although he was a boy, he looked more like Tan Tai He Qingduo.

Tan Tai He Qing was originally a gentle beauty from Suzhou. Xie Fu could already imagine that his son would be as handsome as Lu Wenlin when he grew up. With the experience of Lu Wuyuan as a lesson, he secretly made up his mind to teach him well so that he would not become a scourge in the future.

He went back to the house and sat down, then said to Xia'er, "Xia'er, let me hold the child for a while."

Xia Er gently handed the sleeping child to Xie Fu: "Master, be careful not to wake the child."

Xie Fu laughed and said, "Don't you think I can take care of a child? I forgot that last time He Qing adopted a child, it was me who stepped in to comfort the child."

Xia Er smiled and said, "That's true."

Xie Fu took the child and asked, "Have you given him a name?"

"It's already a few months old, how could it not have a name? The young lady had planned to wait for you to come back to name the child, but in the end, she asked Mr. Ming to name the child."

Xie Fu asked: "What's your name?"

"The only name is Chao, Xie Chao."

Xie Fu immediately understood Mr. Ming's intention and said with a smile, "Okay."

Just then the child woke up, and a pair of big eyes like his mother looked towards Xie Fu. Xie Fu looked at these lovely eyes and couldn't help but smile lovingly.

The child suddenly burst into tears and refused to stop crying no matter how Xie Fu tried to comfort him.

Xia Er smiled and said, "Sir, I don't think you look familiar to the child."

Just then Xie Guangde walked in: "Look at you, the children don't even recognize you. Let me do it."

As he said that, he took the child from Xie Fu's hands and coaxed him with a smile: "Come, grandpa will hold you."

The child stopped crying as soon as he got into Xie Guangde's arms. Xie Guangde said proudly, "See? I raised you this way, too."

At this moment, the child peed on Xie Guangde's face. Xie Guangde laughed and said, "Good boy, you are just like your father."

Xia'er chuckled: "Old Master, did the young master also like to pee on people's faces when he was a child?" Everyone who had held the young master had fallen into this trap, and she had experienced it a few times as well, with Xiaoqiu being the one who had fallen into it the most.

Xie Guangde replied, "That's right. Once a dove is erect, it will urinate on anyone it catches. Sooner or later, it will become a playboy."

Xia'er's face turned slightly red, but Xie Fu felt warm after hearing this. He was indeed raised by his grandfather, who was both his father and mother.

Xia'er handed Xie Guangde a handkerchief so that he could wipe his face. At this time, the child started crying again.

"Look, grandpa will teach you how to take care of a child. If you wipe him dry, he won't cry anymore."

As Xie Guangde spoke, he slowly wiped the child Jiujiu, but after drying him, he kept crying.

Xia Er reminded: "Old Master, the young master wants to eat."

Xie Guangde suddenly realized: "I can't handle this, I have to go find her mother." As he said this, he handed the child to Xia'er.

As soon as the child was in Xia'er's arms, he instinctively kissed Xia'er's chest. Xia'er dodged and said, "Young master, I didn't..." and simply walked away in shame.

After Xia'er took the child away, the grandfather and grandson could sit down and talk.

"It was only when I arrived at Tantai Mansion that I learned about the huge incident that happened to the Huizhou Gu family. Fu'er, my Yangzhou Xie family and the Huizhou Gu family have been close friends for a hundred years, and Xianting is your wife, so this vengeance must be avenged!"

Xie Fu nodded: "I have beheaded all the murderers to commemorate the souls of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
