Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 349 Gu Zheng and the person in the portrait really look exactly the same

Although the villagers were a little far away from discussing by the broken wall, Gu Zheng still heard them all.

The same is true of the process of his own guessing.

After seeing the scene in person, the county magistrate filtered all the confessions and came to the same conclusion.

The case was quickly closed.

All that remains is to lay the dead to rest.

The people in Shen Laizi's room chipped in to buy him a coffin.

Gu Zheng also paid for two coffins, one large and one small.

The next morning, the three tigers and six tigers sent Gu Ling and Gu Ying to Shenjia Village, where they saw their mother for the last time.

During the funeral, Gu Zheng's second uncle and second aunt pestered him to make up, saying that if it wasn't for his mother, Fang Fang would definitely not have died.

Gu Zheng's uncle also asked Gu Zheng to give money, otherwise he would refuse Shen Xiulan to be buried in their field.

Shen Xiulan and Shen Laizi had reconciled, but the people in Shen Laizi's house still took the initiative to seek Gu Zheng's opinion.

"How about your mother being buried with Shen Laizi?"

Gu Zheng shook his head calmly.

"No, they have reconciled!"

If his mother had an afterlife, he hoped to stay away from Shen Laizi.

However, with Shen Xiulan's current state, it was impossible for her to be buried back in her home village.

In ancient times, there was a custom in the countryside that short-lived people who died outside were not allowed to be carried back to the village for burial, nor could they be buried in a high place on the mountain, but could only be buried in a relatively low-lying place at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Zheng chose to compromise without saying a word, and gave the uncle and the second uncle 100 taels of silver notes each, and he didn't want to give too much!
His mother's tragedy had her own reasons, and it was also fueled by these two uncles, especially his second uncle's family, who didn't report what they knew, and only valued the little hush money, otherwise Fangfang would not have been so miserable.

After this incident, he and the two uncles may really cut off contact.

During the entire burial process, Gu Zheng was relatively calm.

After finishing the work, the group returned to the county without any food.

They didn't tell the local government about the discovery of the gold mine in Luokang Mountain, but instead asked the people left by General Ouyang to deliver the letter to the capital.

General Ouyang was very pleased to see Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi made such a decision.

Although the two of them are young, their pattern is not small.

Especially the road construction map drawn by Gu Zheng, General Ouyang was full of praise for Gu Zheng's foresight.

However, his people also found out a secret, Gu Zheng's appearance is exactly the same as the portrait of the eldest prince who escaped from the palace before!
Moreover, there were men in black going to his house to dig things.

From various indications, Gu Zheng brothers and sisters are very likely to be descendants of the eldest prince who "died early" at that time.

General Ouyang was taken aback.

"How did you find out about this secret?"

It has been more than half a year since he stayed in Qingping County and traveled to and from Meicheng Yuecheng.

Their task is to find out the clues of his attack, but the most important thing is to find out the life experience of Gu Zheng brothers and sisters.

However, no matter whether it was the clues of his attack that time or the life experiences of Gu Zheng brothers and sisters, they could not find any flaws.

How could a secret that could not be found out with all my efforts for half a year suddenly come to light?

General Ouyang's staff said truthfully: "It was a person who claimed to be Longtang. He secretly revealed it to us. He also gave us this yellowed portrait. He said that this portrait was distributed by the imperial court to various places in Yuecheng at that time. They arrested the two princes according to the portraits."

As he spoke, he carefully opened the yellowed portrait.

General Ouyang frowned.

Gu Zheng and the person in the portrait really look exactly the same.
