"Brother, since you have already decided to give me the position of Patriarch, why don't you give me the order of Patriarch?"
Gu Erye pushed Patriarch Gu over, put their father and son together, and then laughed dumbly, "It's really pitiful."
Gu Changfeng pressed Patriarch Gu's hand, "Father."
Then, he raised his sunken eye sockets and looked at Second Master Gu, "What is Second Uncle in such a hurry for? Did the person behind you force you?"
"You..." Gu Erye's expression froze at his casual words, and then he couldn't help laughing, "So you guys already knew about it, and you still pretended to be stupid with me?"
"Second uncle, don't be angry, I just want to see how cruel you really are."
Gu Changfeng was leaning on the head of the bed, although he looked very sick, but his expression was calm and his tone was gentle.
"Hmph, since you all know, then quickly hand over the order of the Patriarch to me, otherwise, there will only be a dead end."
Gu Erye stopped smiling at them, showed his true colors, and stared at their father and son in a deep voice.
Gu Changfeng sighed softly, "Second Uncle thinks, do members of my Gu family fear death?"
"You... Even if you are not afraid, what about your mother? Where is your sister?" Second Master Gu also gave up.
"As the Gu family, I should protect the Gu family, and I will never hesitate to die." Gu Changfeng didn't like him at all, looking very cold-blooded and ruthless.
But it's true, even if he is so ill, he still refuses to let go. Gu Erye knew that his nephew was a big deal.
Being cruel to others is the same to yourself.
"You, you are so stubborn." Gu Erye was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but now, this kid has become so poisonous and his mouth is so stubborn, which also makes him have to look up to him, but he is also very angry.
He looked at Patriarch Gu again, "Brother, Chang Feng is not sensible, do you want to watch sister-in-law and the others die?"
"Chang Feng is right. Since they were born into the Gu family, this is what they should do." The head of the Gu family looked at his eldest son, affirming his words.
He couldn't understand why his son didn't want to hand over the things to the second room. He must know something and didn't want to worry himself.
Gu Erye was depressed, knowing that his elder brother had long since given up on matters, and since his leg was disabled, he handed over all the affairs of the house to him, but the position of Patriarch has not yet been handed down.
But since when did the eldest brother trust this sick man so much.
"Chang Feng, Second Uncle won't play around with you anymore, do you know what happened last night?"
Gu Changfeng couldn't move, but it didn't hurt his calmness, "Second Uncle guards my courtyard so tightly, how would I know?"
Gu Erye was really mad at him, "There was a riot on the river last night, and many girls died."
No one spoke, the person who suddenly appeared on the flower boat last night, holding a big knife, slashed at anyone he saw, frightened many people on the street today.
"Among them are the daughters of Liu, Xie, and Hua."
Gu Changfeng pondered, the four major families have been hidden in the Jiangnan fiefdom for a long time, and the communication between them is very indifferent. Although there are signs of marriage, in the eyes of outsiders, there is no deep intersection.
But now, those three families had accidents at the same time, so he had to think about it.
"Second Uncle, please speak directly."
Gu Erye seemed to be apprehensive, thought for a moment, but persuaded earnestly: "Chang Feng, hand over the patriarch's token to me, so that the lives of the whole family can be saved!"
"I think the person behind you didn't tell you what the family protects. If you hand it over, it won't be the life of my Gu family, but the whole world."
"Chang Feng, the family is gone, you can still control the world?" Second Master Gu was in a state of anxiety, the man had given an ultimatum, if he didn't get the token tonight, then the whole Gu family...
"Second uncle's words are wrong. If you don't tell me everything, that token, let it sleep with our Gu family!"
He made a mortal determination.
Gu Erye didn't care about anything now, it didn't make sense to say it, and threats were useless, so he had to tell the truth.
"Do you think Second Uncle is really so cruel? Watching you get sick day by day?"
As Gu Erye spoke, he was choked up.
Seeing that there was no one else here, he said honestly, "Do you think the big brother's leg was an accident?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Patriarch Gu, but also Gu Changfeng's eyes widened, and he murmured after a long while: "So, so early, they had already started to act."
Gu Erye sighed softly, as if he had aged a lot, "At first, I also thought that elder brother fell off his horse accidentally and became disabled. Eldest brother wanted to pass on the position of patriarch to you, but you suddenly fell ill, so the position of patriarch fell to me."
"I am also for this family..."
In the past, Second Master Gu was just a lazy second master. He had nothing to do to play with cats and birds, or go out to have a good time, or take his family out for fun, and had a very comfortable life.
Suddenly taking on this heavy burden, he complained a lot at first, but he didn't want to at all, and he didn't have the ability.
Therefore, the Gu family decided to give him time to get acquainted with him.
But this second master also had his own plans, knowing that Gu Changfeng was capable, he privately invited famous doctors to come and treat him, but time passed, and Gu Changfeng's illness was getting worse and worse.
Not a hint of good.
He thought about it, and came up with the idea of getting him married as soon as possible. If he had an heir, Patriarch Gu would definitely teach him carefully, and he would not let him shoulder this burden again.
It's a pity that the people from the Jiangnan Palace refused to marry their daughter.
He tried every means to come to the door, but Patriarch Gu naturally disagreed, and even thought about breaking the engagement.
This is worrying Gu Erye.
After all, none of his sons was angry.
In fact, this is not his fault, there has been such an unwritten example in the family for generations, except for the lineage of the Patriarch, the others are not very angry, and they all rely on that lineage.
In the generation of Patriarch Gu, because of the deep love between the husband and wife, they did not take concubines, and only had one son and one daughter under their knees.
The owner of the house suddenly had an accident, and his son was in danger, so he chose the second bedroom, and he was prepared for any danger.
Gu Erye was still trying to find a way, but the Jiangnan Prince's Mansion actually sent Chu Tianping to another place, and it took several years.
Gu Erye still didn't give up, and even wanted to let Gu Changfeng take a concubine. The textbook he used was the example of Patriarch Gu, but the two father and son had weird tempers, so they didn't agree.
Day by day, Gu Erye was forced to handle complicated mundane matters.
But he still doesn't want to.
Suddenly one day, he found a doctor who said he could cure Gu Changfeng's illness, but it would take too long.
When Gu Erye heard that there was something going on, he was so unhappy that he listened to the doctor for everything.
He wanted to save his nephew wholeheartedly, and came to share this heavy responsibility for him.
Gu Changfeng is indeed better than before, and he can get out of bed and walk around. Gu Erye trusts this doctor even more.
It's just that the good times didn't last long. Just a few days ago, Gu Changfeng suddenly fell down. Gu Erye was so anxious that he sent someone to invite the doctor.
It was only then that he was told that Gu Changfeng had been poisoned, and it had accumulated over time, so he would not live long.
Let Gu Erye take over the position of the Patriarch, and hand over the Patriarch's order to him, and he will detoxify Gu Changfeng.
Although Gu Erye is a mess, how could he harm his family.
Immediately refused.
But that person actually told him that he had poisoned himself, and if the Patriarch knew about it, would he still be alive
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if Gu Erye disagrees, he will be killed by accident, and he will continue to look for his son.
Gu Erye is not stupid, he immediately knew that what happened to his elder brother was not an accident, nor did Chang Feng suffer from a sudden illness, it was all caused by this person in front of him.
He never knew that there was also a Patriarch in charge of this thing.
The man didn't tell him what is the use of this thing, he only said that if he gave it to him, he would spare the Gu family.
Otherwise, his Gu family will disappear from the world bit by bit.
Gu Erye had no choice but to bite the bullet and start cleaning up the people in the house, making open and secret investigations, but there was no clue at all.
On the third day, his youngest son also suffered from the same illness as Gu Changfeng. Others only thought that it might be a family disease.
But his heart turned cold, knowing that it was the man who did it.
He believed it immediately, and he only wanted to get the so-called palm order.
In a hurry, he went to ask Patriarch Gu.
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother who had to give up the position of Patriarch Gu to him, but when he heard him ask about this thing, his expression changed drastically and he asked why.
He prevaricated for a while, saying how could the owner manage the house without a token
Master Gu felt that he was too nervous.
Only then did the token be handed over to him, and it could be regarded as the real handing over of the Gu family to him.
Gu Erye left excitedly, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he saw that person again, he bargained with him, claiming to cure Gu Changfeng's illness before he was willing to hand over the token.
The man readily agreed, but when Gu Erye took out the token, he was kicked flying and injured inside.
It took a few months to recuperate.
The man told him it wasn't this one.
After that, Second Master Gu took charge of the Gu family and tried his best to inquire about the token, but there was no news.
"Now, you all understand, but you still want to go your own way?"
Gu Erye was very tired, physically and mentally even more tired.
"I just want this to end quickly, and I don't want to live in fear anymore. We are not that person's opponent at all."
They also have thugs and secret guards in their house, but they can't guard against that person at all.
Seeing their father and son not talking, Second Master Gu was also angry, "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a thief stealing, you are afraid of the thief thinking about it. We can't be on guard against that person for the rest of our lives!"
"A lifetime is probably not enough." Gu Changfeng said, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
For a while, the room was very quiet, and a needle could be heard.
"Young Master Gu is right, we are determined to get what belongs to the Gu family."
A long laugh came, followed by a few muffled groans, and the crying of a group of women.
The curtain was lifted, and several people walked in.
The first person is black-clothed and black-haired, taller than the average person by a head, standing out from the crowd, with a dark complexion, powerful eyes, and a cold light in his eyes.
As they entered, the air in the room seemed to be thinner.
A chilling intent rushed over.
Gu Erye recognized one of them, "It's you."
Behind this person stood an ordinary-looking old man, who was the doctor who had known him for many years.
It is also the chief culprit for what the Gu family suffered today.
