Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 325: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 53

Be disappointed, father. Be even more disappointed.

Don't be kind to him or hesitate at all, so that no matter how you deal with him in the end, you won't have any psychological burden.

Cheng Xiuran had a crazy smile on his face, but his heart was filled with sadness.

He knew that there was no going back.

"Cheng Xiuran, how could you become so cruel?" Cheng Jinyi was heartbroken.

Cheng Xiu Ran sneered and said slowly: "Father, the people in this palace are treacherous. If you are not ruthless, how can you survive?"

Cheng Jinyi took a deep breath, clenched his fists and squeezed out a few words: "Which village?"

"Wu County, Ke Village."

After hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Cheng Jinyi immediately turned away.

After Cheng Jinyi left, Cheng Xiuran could no longer hold on and fell on the bed.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she slowly smiled again, her eyes filled with regret.

"Brother Yong, what's going on recently? Why do I feel like there are so many unfamiliar faces appearing all of a sudden?"

"Yes, I noticed it too. Just today, when I was working in the fields, a few people came to ask me about the situation in our village! If I hadn't seen a bit of the world, I would have been scared by them!"

Hearing this, Gu Qian quickly interrupted: "Dad, what kind of person is he?"

"Anyway, he doesn't look like an ordinary person. He speaks with an accent, dresses well, and is generous! He just asked me a few questions and offered me two taels of silver. How could I accept that? I refused immediately. What do you think? I have integrity, right?"

"Yeah!" Gu Qian nodded vigorously, gave Gu Yong a thumbs up and said, "As expected of a father, you are awesome. But...what questions did they ask?"

"First, he asked me if I was from our village, then he asked me if there were any strange outsiders in our village recently, and also asked if there were any strange things happening in our village recently."

"Dad, how did you answer?"

"Then I will definitely tell him that I am from our village, and then I will say that I have seen them recently as an outsider, but I have not seen the others. As for the strange things..."

"There's no such case in our village, but I told them about the man named Qingshan from the village ahead who died tragically in a thatched cottage a few miles outside the village."

"Dad, you are so honest! You answer truthfully whatever people ask you." He is not afraid of other people's intentions.

"Why can't I tell you about this? Anyone within a few miles knows about it, even a three-year-old child knows about it. What is there to hide?"

"That's right." Gu Qian nodded and then asked, "What else did you ask?"

"Hey, Qianqian, you've never been interested in these things before, why are you so concerned today?"

"I'm just curious. It's rare for our village to have some fun. Dad, please tell me!"

"Okay, so in the end, he asked me if anyone in my village had ever saved someone in the back mountain! Oh my god, I was so scared when I heard this question that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Fortunately, I have seen a lot of things in the world and kept my composure, so that the group of people didn't see any clues."

"Dad, how did you answer?"

"I said I don't know, I've never heard of it!"

Gu Qian nodded in appreciation, "Dad, you are amazing. You can handle this situation with ease now!"

"That is!"

In her opinion, this was probably because Cheng Xiuran's deeds had been exposed, and the emperor had sent people to investigate. He wanted to see if their village was still intact, and to find out if anyone in the village had saved Cheng Xiaoze.

But he was afraid that it would become known to everyone, so he chose to send someone to conduct a secret investigation.

laugh!

What is the use of such an investigation?

Even if someone in the village really did a good deed like saving someone, who would dare to tell the truth when faced with a stranger who suddenly appeared, not knowing whether he was a good person or a bad person? Aren't they afraid of making things worse and losing their heads?

She said that sending Cheng Xiaoze would be the best option because rewards and punishments would be straightforward and they wouldn't have to hide it.

With all the good things her family has done, it will at least bring her father some honor and fame.

Unfortunately, I can’t say it actively.

Thinking of those people whose souls were burned to ashes by her purple flame, Gu Qian felt a little regretful.

If she had known that someone would come to investigate, she would not have burned the body. At least she would have left the body intact to scare them.

In this way, perhaps the emperor would even feel awe towards Kecun.

If they build an ancestral hall or a Buddhist temple for worship in the village, wouldn't the village become rich?

Um? yes!

feasible!

Gu Qian slapped her head and thought, couldn't she just lead those people who came to investigate to the back mountain, set up an illusion array, and show them what she wanted them to see?

Gu Qian did what he said and released his spiritual sense to investigate the locations of those people.

As luck would have it, those people were on another road leading to the back mountain.

I guess I asked the villagers but didn't get any useful clues, so I wanted to go to the back mountain to take a look.

Seeing this, Gu Qian immediately prepared for action.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to take a walk in the back hills."

"Okay, be careful. If you meet a stranger, don't stay there. Come back quickly."

"understood."

After talking to Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin, Gu Qian quickly walked out of the house.

When she reached a secluded corner, she cast a spell directly to the place where the group of people had to pass to enter the mountain.

After setting up the formation, Gu Qian hid aside and waited for their arrival.

"Captain, why is this forest so eerie? It looks very evil."

"Huzi, this is just a normal forest. Don't talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the troops!"

"Yes!" The man named Hu Zi muttered quietly, "There are only a few of us, how can we have an army?"

It's really weird. It's broad daylight and the sky was clear just now, but how come there is no sunlight at all as soon as I come in?

"Stop!" The captain raised his hand and made a stop gesture, "There's a problem ahead!"

At this time, those who were sensitive and alert had already taken out their weapons, and the rest of the people also took out their weapons and became alert after hearing the captain's words.

Suddenly, everyone was distracted and saw a thatched house appear a hundred meters ahead.

"What's going on? How did this thatched house appear? It wasn't there just now!"

"I told you this forest is very spooky!"

"Everyone shut up, everyone be on alert, and be careful."

The captain led everyone forward cautiously. Suddenly, a group of people in black appeared in front of them and surrounded the entire thatched hut.

"Be careful!" The captain stopped again, and everyone looked at the man in black in front of them vigilantly, ready to fight at any time.

However, they did not expect that the group of men in black seemed not to have seen them at all and just carried one person out of the thatched hut.

This person is Liu Qingshan.

They looked at the behavior of the men in black opposite them with confusion and bewilderment, and they asked about Liu Qingshan's identity and whether he was from Ke Village.

After receiving a negative answer, the man in black immediately picked up a knife and killed Liu Qingshan.
