Chapter 361

Wen Yuan immediately lowered his face.

He pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Indeed. I actually forgot that Gu Ji had cooperated with the Anbei Army to make bows and crossbows. Gu Tuo, as the direct descendant of Gu Ji, would naturally also make bows and crossbows. Some simple mechanisms."

"It's just that they have already arrived in the countryside, and they are still so cautious. My lord has to set up traps everywhere when I go out. I didn't expect this. These two adults are so defensive!"

"That's right! But after thinking about it carefully, the subordinates realized that those organs were not complicated, but because of their exquisite design and proper placement, they gave me a surprise blow. This time, we were not wronged."

They even had some sincere admiration for the organs arranged in Gu Tuo's house!
This group of people belonged to Mu Qiang, and they didn't blame Gu Tuo too much for being hurt this time, instead they were more introspective.

Even Wen Yuan said: "It's a pity that we came late. If it had been a year earlier, before they turned Gu Ji over, we could have taken them away directly! This Gu Tuo is such a good crafter, as long as he is a little With more training, we will definitely be able to make more and more exquisite mechanisms!"

"Since the Qu family disbanded, how long has it been since our Celestial Dynasty has launched a new institution?"

"Isn't it?" The subordinate sighed.

But they just sighed, and the two of them put the matter behind them.

After all, there is no hope for things, they will not pay too much attention to it.

But this thing in front of me...

"My lord, are you sure this is the eldest lady living outside? The subordinates always feel that she doesn't look like her at all."

"Since she was thrown away when she was a baby, picked up by the countrymen and brought up to such a big age, she has never been taught by a rich family. She is essentially a village girl. How much can you hug her for such a person Hope?" Wen Yuan said indifferently.

"Our task now is to find someone and bring her back, and that's it. The rest is the master's arrangement, so we don't have to meddle in our own business."

The subordinate immediately held his breath. "Yes, this subordinate knows!"

The two of them also slowly walked into the darkness, and everything became lonely.

The next day, Gu Tuo indeed arranged for a group of apprentices to strengthen the guards at home, and by the way, he also rearranged some small traps in various houses.

Xia Ying and the children in the family are used to the existence of these things, so they naturally didn't say anything about Gu Tuo's arrangements.

However, the people nearby knew that Gu Tuo's house was almost on fire, and their doubts about the Gu family were cleared away.

"It must be the creditors of Xia Fugui and Xia Dazhuang's father and son! One Xia Fugui was paralyzed, and the other Xia Dazhuang was beaten to pieces. They can't make any money at first glance. They must hurry to Xia's house to ask for debts! Otherwise, time will come again." If you drag it on, you will lose even a penny!"

"It must have been a little bit wrong when asking for the debt. Maybe it was because the surname Xia didn't pay the money, so he dragged the Jin family to sell to pay off the debt. The two sides had a quarrel, and the creditor beat them up, and then they didn't pay the debt. Carefully set fire, and burn people to death!"

The more you think about it, the more you think this statement is reasonable.

In the end, it was Xia Fugui's creditors in the early years and the gangsters who had been in close contact with Xia Dazhuang this year became the objects of suspicion.

When Li Zheng heard the news, he hurriedly called everyone over for an interrogation.

Naturally, those people couldn't stop crying.Lizheng couldn't find any evidence, and because Xiajia Village didn't care much about the case, Lizheng just went through the motions casually and let him go.

As for the cause of the fire in Xia's house, in the end, only a conclusion of 'the fire caused an accident' was given, and the case was finalized!

When Lizheng settled the case, it was time for Xia Dazhuang's family to be buried.

Originally an unlovable family, Xia Ying refused to come back to handle the funeral from the very beginning, and finally this task fell on the head of Xiajia Village.

In fact, the village chief still hates it in his heart!
Xia Fugui owed him a full five taels of silver, which he hasn't paid back all these years.But now, he actually has to pay manpower to organize the funeral for this family. He hates it when he thinks about it!
Therefore, he naturally didn't put much effort into it, but he just chose a day that was not inappropriate to break ground anyway, and then randomly scraped together some paper money to summon souls and so on, and prepared all the things that should be prepared for the funeral, and the funeral began!

When it was time for the funeral, Xia Ying's family went there Shi Shiran.

Of course, Xia Ying refused to dress this family in mourning.

At most, she tied a white cloth around her arm, barely expressing her condolences.

With her in the lead, Xiaoqi, Gu Tuo and others followed suit.

The people in Xiajia Village dared not speak out.

Naturally, the burial ceremony was also very sloppy.The Taoist priest who was invited was also cheap, he just walked around a few coffins with a mahogany sword, read a few words perfunctorily, and then waved his hand-"Bury!"

The young and middle-aged people in the village hurriedly put the coffin in the dug hole, turned over the soil hastily, and buried it.The child that the village head randomly pulled over dropped the crock pot again, and the funeral was declared over.

After the process was over, Xia Ying immediately turned around. "Let's go, go back!"

Now, her relationship with Xiajia Village was completely severed!

The people of Xiajia Village still didn't dare to stop them.

It's just that Xia Ying's group didn't get out of Xiajia Village smoothly.

Because they had just walked out of the ancestral grave in Xiajia Village, they were stopped by someone.

The people who stopped them were well dressed, and among them was a young woman wearing a curtain, looking aloof.

"You are Xia Dazhuang's younger sister? The one named Xia Ying?" When she spoke again, her tone was also very hateful.

Xia Ying nodded: "It's me. What's your relationship with Xia Dazhuang? You're also the girl he met in the brothel, right?"

"You are the girl in the kiln! I am a lady of a high family, who knows your brother?" The other party immediately became angry.

The corners of Xia Ying's lips lifted slightly.

Of course she knew that the other party was not a brothel woman.It's just that this person appeared on the stage rashly, and before he could say anything, a pair of eyes unceremoniously began to look up and down at her across the screen, and his eyes were so high above the top, which really made people uncomfortable.

Since she was upset, of course she had to make the other party feel uncomfortable.

She also casually arranged this person and Xia Dazhuang together.

The results are outstanding!

However, isn't this person's reaction too big?And... a lady from a wealthy family, would she be such a violent shrew?
And the girl was already howling at the top of her throat: "Wen Yuan! Where did you go? Didn't you see that I was being bullied? Come here quickly and beat them to death!"
