My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

Zheng Qiu had just finished dinner with her brother when she received the news. She was planning to talk about Zheng Qilang's problem, but people from the palace came.

When she heard that something happened to Wang Pangzi's family, Zheng Qiu told her brother and immediately rushed back to pack up.

After packing up, she went to Dali Temple to meet Gu Xin.

When Zheng Qiu came, Dongxue also came with Gu Xin's things.

Gu Xin had already called He Gang and He Qiang and a group of people, and the carriage was arranged. Seeing Zheng Qiu and Dongxue, Gu Xin called them to get in the car: "Xiao Qiu, let's talk on the way. Get in the car first."

He Gang and He Qiang drove the car very fast. It was only after noon now. If they drove faster, they could reach Hongyuan Temple before nightfall.

It was closer to Hongyuan Temple from the capital than to Tongzhou, but there was a detour up the mountain road.

"Xinxin, what happened to the old Wang family? The palace servants didn't explain it clearly just now, they just said that someone died in the old Wang family and the Dali Temple needed to send someone to investigate." Zheng Qiu asked in the car.

"Except him, all the old Wang family members were killed in Hongyuan Temple. The time of the murder should be after midnight and before yin today. The captain Jin of Tongzhou Prefecture only has this information." Gu Xin said.

"Then the old Wang..." Zheng Qiu knew that Fatty Wang left for Tongzhou after noon the day before yesterday and should have arrived the night before yesterday. How come all his family members were killed in the temple?

"Captain Jin doesn't know where the old Wang is. He didn't go home the day before yesterday. He didn't meet the old Wang until he came to the capital this morning. I don't know if the old Wang has returned now and knows the news." Gu Xin said in a deep voice.

From May to now September, they have been together for a few months. Gu Xin has already regarded Fatty Wang as a friend. When such a thing happened in his friend's family, the friend who should have returned home long ago disappeared. Gu Xin is still a little worried.

Zheng Qiu said nothing more, and the atmosphere in the car was a little silent for a while.

When they arrived at Hongyuan Temple, it was almost dark, and Lord Xu and the abbot were waiting at the door.

Captain Jin was faster than Gu Xin and the others, so he came back in advance to tell Lord Xu and the others.

After Gu Xin greeted everyone and introduced the people around him, he asked: "Lord Xu, where is Lao Wang? Has he come back?"

Lord Xu hurriedly said: "I heard from the servant guarding the city that their carriage broke down the day before yesterday, and it rained, so they took the wrong road. They stayed in the village when it got dark. It rained all day yesterday, and they borrowed a bullock cart to rush back at dawn this morning. The city guard met someone from the East and West Escort Agency on the road, so he took a ride, and his servant drove the bullock cart behind him. Now the city guard is in the house."

Gu Xin nodded: "Okay, I'll go with Xiao Qiu first, and you ask the coroner from the Tongzhou government office to come and help."

Lord Xu immediately led Gu Xin and the others over.

Gu Xin came to the small courtyard where the accident happened. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Fatty Wang sitting among several corpses.

Lord Xu said: "Since this afternoon, he has not drunk a sip of water, said a word, or eaten anything. Princess, please persuade this child!"

Gu Xin nodded: "Please ask someone to prepare some hot water. I'll go and take a look."

Lord Xu went to give orders again.

Gu Xin walked in and walked to Fatty Wang's side: "Old Wang, Xiaoqiu and I are here. Xiaoqiu wants to examine the bodies. You get up."

Fatty Wang did not move, as if he did not hear what Gu Xin said. He did not even notice that Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu appeared beside him.
