My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

So, sometimes you really have to believe in fate.

…

As soon as Gu Xin and Gu Si left the palace gate, they saw Lu Zheng holding a horse and waiting for someone.

"Brother Yuanyuan!" Gu Xin got off the carriage and ran forward. Gu Si followed closely behind and went over to greet Lu Zheng, "Brother A Yuan."

"Why is it so late? I've been waiting for a long time." Lu Zheng touched Gu Xin's head and smiled, "I agreed to take you riding a horse a few days ago, but it was already dark."

"It's okay, it's okay. We can go now!" Gu Xin was about to tell Lu Zheng about the case, then turned to Gu Si and said, "Sisi sister, you go back first and tell your family that I will be back in an hour at most. !”

"Okay! Third sister, you have to come back early, otherwise the second uncle will be angry." Gu Si nodded and ordered.

"Yeah, I know." Gu Xin nodded.

After Gu Si got on the carriage and left, Gu Xin got on Lu Zheng's horse. Lu Zheng led the horse and walked like this: "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat. There is a braised noodles restaurant on the East Street. It’s delicious. There’s also the rice dumplings you like!”

Gu Xin nodded: "Okay! Let's go eat."

Lu Zheng didn't even get on the horse, so he just led the horse away.

The curfew in the capital has to wait until after midnight, and it is dark now, so the streets and alleys are very lively.

Lu Zheng liked this feeling and hoped that they could keep going like this until the end, forever, and never be separated.

Gu Xin told Lu Zheng what happened today on horseback. Lu Zheng had gone to Gu's house to look for Gu Xin after leaving the office just now, so he knew about it, but he still listened patiently to what Gu Xin had to say.

He was surprised when he heard Gu Xin say that the emperor had taught Gu Xin about the murder case in the suburbs.

Lu Zheng now works in the Ministry of War, and the Yamen of the Ministry of War and the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice are right next to each other, so he knows more about this case than Gu Xin has heard.

This case is a bit tricky.

Wang Village on the outskirts of Beijing is a relatively large village, and it is also the closest village to the capital. Most of the villagers in that village are named Wang, and because it is close to the capital, as long as you are not lazy, you can live a good life at home. fine. Many families in the village have better conditions than those in some remote counties.

The person who died this time was considered to be a relatively well-off family in Wangcun, a family of seventeen, four generations living under one roof. The old man and his wife have three sons, three daughters-in-law, one daughter, five grandchildren, two granddaughters, one grandson-in-law, and one great-grandson.

The old man took his sons to farm and raise pigs, while the old lady took her three daughters-in-law to raise a lot of chickens. The five grandsons are all studying. The eldest grandson was selected as a scholar. He married his granddaughter-in-law in the twelfth month of the year before last and his great-grandson was born in the twelfth month of last year.

On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, the door of their house was not even opened. The pigs in the pig pen were hungry, and the chickens in the chicken pen were also hungry. The pigs opened the door of the chicken pen, and the chickens flew out of the chicken pen and ran to the neighbor's house next door. If you ruin someone's vegetable plot, your neighbors will come to visit you.

The door of this house was closed. The neighbor knocked on the door for a long time but didn't open it. She stood at the door and cursed for a long time but no one answered. She didn't even bark the dog. She felt something was wrong and ran to find Li Zhenglai. Then Li Zheng took the initiative to find her. The people next door to his house broke open the door. Their big yellow dog was lying in the yard, foaming at the mouth. The hall and kitchen doors were closed from the inside, so Li Zheng had people break in the door again.

Then it was discovered that all seventeen members of this family were dead.
