This is a garden, the garden in Su Guozhang's mansion.

With the perimeter of the garden as the dividing line, the situation inside and outside the garden is a striking contrast.

The inside is as if it has been washed by an endless river of time, the mountains are not mountains, the water is not water, and everywhere exudes the smell of gray decay.

Outside the wall, the mountains are still mountains, the water is still water, and the buildings of the Guozhang Mansion are still the same as usual, firmly standing in the wind and snow flying in the sky.

Several headless corpses were lying next to the well not far away, looking at the clothes that should be Su Guozhang's concubines, their heads were gone, and they were really strung together and hung on the inner wall of the well.

In this way, the fake second housekeeper of the Su Mansion did not lie in this matter, but was really describing some facts.

Gu Juan's gaze penetrated the wind and snow, looking at several other places in the capital from a distance where the smoke was billowing out, and his brows were furrowed and he fell into deep thought.

All that remains is the ruined garden of the Koujofu Palace, which is unusually striking among the surrounding intact buildings.

Su Guozhang and Su Jinhe don't know if they are dead, not only the two of them, but the entire Guozhang Mansion may have become a murderous mansion with only dead people left.

As long as they are in this eroded area, they will not be able to escape the end of death.

Thinking of this, Gu Juan couldn't help but sigh deeply again.

With the intensification of the changes in heaven and earth, the number of strange incidents is bound to explode, and even the capital of Great Wei, which has always been known as the land of the first good, will definitely not be spared forever, and these actual facts should have been known to those who live in the city.

But there is understanding, and when things really fall on you, everything is no longer a situation where you can think rationally and calmly.

He had just said to the two women, one big and one young, that his boat was big enough and sturdy enough to take the two of them, and even their relatives, with them, and it had only been so long that he had almost caused an accident.

Su Guozhang and Su Jin must be found immediately......

Gu Juan had just turned around and was about to leave the garden, when suddenly he heard someone shouting anxiously, which was sounding from outside the garden, and it seemed to be coming straight for him.

"Commander!"

The next moment, several Persona Counsellors rushed into the garden from outside the ruins, and the first one said with a panicked face, "Commander Qiqi, several places in the city were suddenly shrouded in gray mist, and the Si Ya sent teams to investigate and deal with them according to the order of Concubine Luo, but everyone was gone, until those gray mist dissipated without warning, they could not find their traces, and those who disappeared with them, as well as the people in those areas, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. ”

"After the gray fog disappeared, all the shrouded areas turned into ruins, just like those yamen and mansions that had not been inhabited for decades and hundreds of years, and they became like this!"

"I see, you stay now, seal this place tightly, and find someone to take me to other places shrouded in gray fog. ”

Gu Juan did not leave directly, but first searched carefully in the Guozhang Mansion, and was a little surprised to find Su Jinhe, who was still sleeping in the house after being drunk, and until this time he found that neither this thing nor his father knew what was going on, let alone that their garden had become like that.

And except for the few corpses in the garden, none of the others in the Su Mansion died, and even they didn't know that such a terrifying incident had just happened in the mansion.

After explaining the situation in a few words, Gu Juan found someone to take the people in Su Mansion to live elsewhere for the time being, and then under the leadership of the counselor of the Strange News Division, he came to other places where the gray mist broke out.

After walking around most of the capital, Gu Juan suddenly stopped in an alley with no pedestrians, looked up at the gray sky for a long time, and then closed his eyes as if thinking about something.

The two Hearsay Envoys stood quietly behind him, cautiously guarding their surroundings, for fear that something that would disturb Commander Gu's train of thought.

After tea time, Gu Juan exhaled a breath of burning breath gently, turned around and walked out of the alley after identifying the direction, and then walked all the way until he came to a restaurant.

He stood under the gatehouse engraved with a superb Beijing flavor signboard, turned his head and said to the envoy of the Strange Smell Division who followed behind him, "You two don't have to follow me, now take my waist card and warrant to run an errand." ”

"Please let me know. ”

Gu Juan looked up at the four gilded characters of the superb Beijing flavor, and said slowly after thinking, "I need to know whether there are similar incidents in other prefectures and counties besides the capital, how many of them are, where they have been affected, and whether there are any commonalities." ”

"I also know that in this increasingly bad situation, it is not easy to collect intelligence, but this matter is too important, and it is related to the lives of the people of the imperial court, so it must be done, and it must be done as soon as possible, and there is no room for sloppiness and delay, do you understand what I mean?"

The counselor of the Alien Affairs Division hugged his fists and said, "Please rest assured that the commander will immediately pass on the orders of the commander and will do their best to complete the task." ”

Gu Juan nodded, "Okay, I'll explain this matter to Luo Yu again in a while, and the entire Hearsay Division will do its best to investigate this matter." ”

"My subordinates understand!"

After explaining, he walked into the restaurant and went directly into the exclusive box on the second floor.

After a while, Wang Huodao pushed the door in, knelt down without saying a word, and made a great salute of throwing himself to the ground.

"Shopkeeper Wang, what's your situation?"

Gu Juan casually picked up a few dried fruits from the table and ate them slowly, steaming all over his body, and in a moment he had finished drying his clothes wet from the wind and snow.

"If you go back to your lordship, the Holy Monarch Ancestor, something may have happened!"

Wang Huodao raised his head, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"You mean, count it, gone?"

Gu Juan sat up slightly straight, then leaned back again, squinted his eyes and said lightly, "If it hangs up, how can you still be alive and well?"

"Back to the words of the Lord, the Holy Monarch Ancestor ......"

"Speak well, it's your ancestor, not mine. Gu Juan waved his hand and directly interrupted Wang Huodao, "The most important thing for you now is to get me a table of noodles as before, so that I can listen to you while eating and drinking, otherwise I won't be in any mood." ”

"Yes, yes, the small ones will be arranged, this will be arranged. ”

After Wang Huodao hurriedly withdrew, Gu Juan finished a whole plate of dried fruit dim sum, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

When he drank the third cup, he suddenly stopped drinking tea, and instead took out a new tea cup and poured it full of tea and pushed it to the other end of the table.

Silently, an illusory figure appeared on the other side of the table, which looked a little uncertain.

Gu Juan picked up the porcelain cup and gestured, drank it all by himself, and then said with some emotion, "Old plan, this is your mistake, once you let your loyal subordinates grieve there, I hate to die on your behalf, but I am watching coldly from the side, and I have made a high and indifferent posture, if you continue like this, you will cool their hearts." ”

"What's more, the official looks like you're very weak, when you come to my side in this state, aren't you afraid that the official will take advantage of the weak and bully?"
