Chapter 21 Unreasonable
"Hahahaha, everyone, I'm sorry, I'm a little late because I have something to do, so I kept you waiting for a long time, don't blame me."

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, two figures walked in from outside.

Of these two people, one was an old man. This old man was tall and strong, but he was blind in one eye. He looked a bit fierce. He was the head of the Sun family, named Sun Li.

The other person is a middle-aged man, his appearance is six to seven points similar to that of the old man, this person is the son of Sun Li, named Sun Changzhi.

After entering the inner hall, Sun Li saw that Zhou Rang was also here, his eyes lit up immediately, he came to Zhou Rang, laughed and said, "Hahaha, it turns out that Brother Zhou is also there, it is not easy to see Brother Zhou, It seems that today is not in vain, not in vain!"

Behind Sun Li, Sun Changzhi bowed to Zhou Rang with cupped fists, and called Uncle Zhou.

Zhou Rang stroked his beard lightly, smiled slightly, and nodded without saying a word, as a greeting.

Sun Li didn't care, he looked around, glanced at the crowd, and said, "Hey, it seems that everyone has been here for a while, and everyone is really complete today."

After saying this, he greeted Sun Changzhi, and the two sat down on their own, and then he said to Fang Zhen: "My condolences to Nephew Fang Xian, I heard about Fang Zhi County, and there are many things in it. The place is not clear, Fangzhi County loves the people like a son, such a good person, unexpectedly encountered unexpected disasters, if Nephew Fang Xian wants to investigate, if there is anything that needs my grandson's help, just tell me, I The Sun family will definitely help with all their strength, there is no doubt about it."

Hearing this, Fang Zhen just smiled and did not speak.

Seeing this, Sun Li turned his head to look at the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, and exchanged pleasantries. The Patriarch of the Zhao Family smiled politely and responded with a few words.

Of the seven major families in Ningcheng, only the Sun family and the Zhou family have the highest seniority and the oldest heads, and the leaders of the remaining five families are all about the same age as Fang Zhen.

In this way, the heads of several major families in Ningcheng were greeted by Sun Li one by one.

It seemed that today's occasion was like a tea party held by his Sun family, with constant laughter, as if Gu Chen didn't exist at all.

Wu Gan was standing at the door, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Chen who was sitting at the top, he found that Gu Chen's expression was as usual, showing no sign of happiness or anger.

This can't help but make him secretly sigh in his heart, this Master Gu's city mansion is really extraordinary, if it is someone of his normal age who is ignored like this, he probably can't hold back long ago and will lose his temper.

After a long while, Sun Li looked at Gu Chen who was sitting at the top, and said with a smile: "This is Gu Chen from Tiandu Jingtiansi, right?"

"What advice does Patriarch Sun have?" Gu Chen looked at him calmly.

Sun Lidao: "I don't dare to be a teacher. It's because Gu Xunshou is so young and has such a status. He can surpass us. The old man can't help but sigh in his heart. He is really a hero."

"Compared to you, Gu Xunshou, my grandson, Sun Jie, is nothing worth mentioning." While talking, he shook his head, as if he hated iron for being weak.

At the same time, Sun Li was secretly observing Gu Chen's expression, and when he saw that Gu Chen didn't respond to the word "Sun Jie", he couldn't help but groaned inwardly.

Sun Jie was the same young master who insulted Gu Chen in Yixiang Building, shot Gu Chen, and was wounded in the end.

At this moment, Sun Jie was still lying in the Sun's house in a coma, while the assailant, Gu Chen, was sitting here in good order, even giving orders to them, and it seemed that Gu Chen had no impression of Sun Jie at all. This made Sun Li even more furious.

Of course, even so, on the surface, he was still amiable and smiling.

"Since entering the door until now, Patriarch Sun has been talking non-stop, is it enough now?" Gu Chen said expressionlessly.

"Hahaha, don't blame Gu Xunshou. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Today, we just took advantage of this juncture to get together here. When we get old, we can't help but talk more. I think Gu Xunshou There are a lot of guardians, so you won’t blame me, the old man, right?” Sun Li blinded one eye, and said to Gu Chen with a smile like a smiling tiger.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Gu Chen's mouth, and said: "Since Patriarch Sun is so hospitable and hospitable, then tomorrow, the search will start from the Sun's house first. I don't think Patriarch Sun will have any objections?"

"Search? What search?" Hearing this, Sun Li's expression changed immediately.

Gu Chen said indifferently: "There are ghosts lurking in Ningcheng, and it is very likely that they are possessing someone. The oiran of Yixianglou and Fang Yong, the magistrate of Ningcheng, are both like this. Therefore, for the safety of the people in the city, , and for the safety of everyone here, it is natural to search the whole city, but tomorrow, let’s start with your grandson’s family first.”

Hearing that there were ghosts lurking in Ningcheng, and Gu Chen wanted to search the whole city, many people's expressions changed.

But Fang Zhen felt relieved, and he let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that Gu Chen didn't intend to target the Fang family, which made him feel relieved a lot.

"Where did the news of Gu Xunshou come from? Of course, I don't doubt Gu Xunshou, but if we want to search, we must let us know some reasons?" Sun Li said with a frown.

Hearing this, several other Patriarchs also nodded their heads one after another. Naturally, they would not want to search them without any reason.

Gu Chen said: "It was Fang Zhixian who told me before he died."

"Fang Yong?" Sun Li asked with some doubts: "But didn't Gu Xunshou just say that Fangzhi County is possessed by demons? As far as I know, people who are possessed by demons will have their minds and minds polluted and become ghosts of demons." Puppet, is such a person believable in what he says?"

When Fang Zhen heard this, his complexion changed immediately, he stood up straight away, glared at Sun Li, and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Sun Li smiled, and said: "Nephew Fang Xian, please be safe, I just mentioned one of the possibilities."

Fang Zhen glanced at Gu Chen, took a deep breath, and sat down again.

Gu Chen said: "Believe it or not, this is the official's business. You just need to do it. What's more, didn't Patriarch Sun just say that there are many doubts about Fangzhi County? Why don't you insist now? ?”

Sun Li stroked his beard, looked at Gu Chen with one eye, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, I just said that what I said before is only one of the possibilities. Up to now, I still have the greatest confidence in the death of the magistrate. Because there were no witnesses at that time, and there was no evidence to prove that Fangzhi County was really possessed by a ghost."

Hearing this, Gu Chen looked calmly, looked at Sun Li, and said, "So Patriarch Sun is suspicious of me?"

"Hahaha, don't blame Gu Xunshou. After all, we are handling a case, and this matter has a lot to do with the 10,000+ people in the city. It is impossible to settle it so hastily. We have to discuss it. Since we have discussed it, we must tell the truth. , what did you say, what do you guys think?"

In the last sentence, he was asking the rest of the Patriarchs.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family and the others nodded upon hearing the words, somewhat agreeing with Sun Li's remarks.

They felt that what Sun Li said was correct, and there were indeed many doubts about this matter.

Moreover, the incident happened suddenly, even Fang Yong died, and it was the first time they met Gu Chen, so it was inevitable that they did not trust Gu Chen.

And this distrust was magnified a lot because of Sun Li's words.

Gu Chen sat at the top, frowning slightly. He could see very clearly that Sun Li was deliberately inciting everyone. What Gu Chen wanted to do, Sun Li refused to let him do it, and the means were very high. Normally speaking , Gu Chen really has no way to prove it.

It has to be said that Sun Li is really an old fox, he can hold Gu Chen in a few words.

But unfortunately, Sun Li made the same mistake as the Fang family, that is, misjudged Gu Chen's character.

Common sense is hard to reason with, but Gu Chen doesn't intend to follow common sense.

Who said that doing things must be done according to common sense?

At this time, Gu Chen said: "According to Patriarch Sun's words, no matter what, I want to search the whole city, but this is impossible?"

Sun Li didn't speak, just looked at Gu Chen with a smile without saying a word.

"Well, if that's the case..." Gu Chen stood up, looked down at Sun Li below, his eyes gradually became sharper, and said, "If I insist on searching the whole city, what can you do!"
