Chapter 125
When the laughter also died down for a while, a figure quietly came to the door of Anshun Hall, some of the maids of Anshun Hall were taken away, and some went to eat and did not come back, at this time, the entire Anshun Hall was quiet.
The figure listened cautiously for a moment, confirmed that there was no one around, looked cold, quietly stepped into the inner room, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, strode to the bedside, opened a layer of pillowcase, exposed the pillow core, the cold light at the bottom of the person's eyes was thicker, pulled out the cap, and sprinkled the contents of the bottle evenly on the pillow core......
"Bang Bang!" Crisp applause rang out, and Gu Ci's cold voice followed: "The action is really skillful, and I have done despicable things that harm people in secret, more than once." ”
The figure suddenly stood up straight, but did not look back, the cold light in his eyes gradually thickened, and he deliberately changed his voice: "You have long known that the pillow is poisonous, and burning the pillow is to design to catch me." ”
"You're smart, you guessed it all." Shen Qingwan helped the old lady walk in: "The old lady refuses to go out during the day, and it is also deliberately designed, because, the weather is cold, and the old lady likes to close the door, you can't find the opportunity to poison at all, go to the Bauhinia Pavilion to see me at night, it may be the only time to go out this winter, this golden good time, you will never miss it." Looking at the figure with his back to him and dressed in a maid's clothes, the old lady said sharply: "I have no grievances with you, and I usually treat you well, why do you want to harm me in such a despicable way?" ”
"I'm sorry old lady, I don't want to hurt you, it's just that everyone's position is different, and there are some things that I have to do......" At the end, the voice of the figure became more and more solemn.
"Don't talk about so many high-sounding reasons, different positions, you can use your true identity to confront your grandmother openly, this is what a 'person' should do, but you, as your grandmother's maid, betrayed your grandmother and poisoned her three or four times to harm her." Shen Qingwan's tone was also rare harsh and angry: "Since the day you entered the mansion, you have come with the idea of harming people......"
"Little Miss, today's incident was planned by you." Shen Qing has not been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, but from the perspective of how she behaves, smart people can see that she is not simple.
"So what?" The figure is about to be caught, and Shen Qingwan doesn't plan to fight with her again: "If you design to hurt your grandmother, can't we design to catch you?" ”
The figure smiled coldly: "Then let's see if you have the ability to catch me." The figure flashed, and actually hit the window and jumped out, so fast that people didn't have time to react.
"Where to escape?" Gu Ci scolded angrily, and the tall figure jumped out of the window, and the long sword in his hand pointed directly at the figure, the figure's reaction was very fast, when Gu Ci took out the sword, she took out a sword out of nowhere, and fought with Gu Ci, and she didn't fall behind at all.
What's even smarter is that in the flash of light, she actually covered her face with a cloth, and no one else could see her appearance, only to see two long swords shining with cold light constantly colliding in mid-air, and her ears were filled with the sound of fierce weapon handover. The old lady took Shen Qingwan's hand and came outside the house, and smiled coldly: "Ruyan, go and call the guards to help catch the spies, Ruchen, let all the subordinates of Anshun Hall come to the courtyard, as long as you count the number of people, you will know what Yan is sacred to fight with the eldest young master!" "Do you think that with the veil, I don't know who you are?
The figure was startled and fled anxiously, but Gu Ci's moves were very fast, one sword was faster than another, and she couldn't find a chance to leave at all.
The sword had no eyes, Shen Qingwan protected the old lady, standing far away, and the maids also followed closely behind the old lady, watching the battle from afar.
At the beginning, the figure and Gu Ci's martial arts were indeed comparable, but after dozens of moves, the figure gradually highlighted the defeat, Shen Qingwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Brother Ci's sword moves were exquisite, but he lacked actual combat experience, otherwise, this figure would never last so long in his hands.
The figure gradually became powerless, retreating, his eyes were anxious, and his moves were becoming more and more chaotic......
"Hurry up, the assassin is here, catch the assassin." The third old man, Gu Yunfu, ran into Anshun Hall with a large number of guards in a hurry, and his tone was eager.
Shen Qingwan felt that something was wrong, her eyes flashed, and she was about to stop them from stepping forward, but Gu Yunfu had already rushed forward and beckoned to the figure: "You actually dare to assassinate the old lady, you are impatient, take your life." The guards also hurriedly stepped forward and surrounded Gu Yunfu and the figure in the middle, and Gu Ci was separated from the circle by them.
"Old lady, don't worry about Xiao Ci, leave this assassin to me." Gu Yunfu was full of confidence, as if he had a chance to win. A thought quickly flashed through Shen Qingwan's mind, these guards were all Gu Yunfu's people, did they want to catch the spies and invite merit, or were they ready to ......
"Ah, help!" I have to say that Gu Yunfu was really stupid to go home, and he fought with an exhausted woman, not to mention that he didn't win, and he was knocked off the long sword and clamped his neck without even holding out ten moves in the hands of others.
The old lady snorted coldly: "The life of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too comfortable, and it has raised people to waste!" ”
"Old lady help, Xiao Ci help!" Lest the old lady disregard his life in order to catch the spies, Gu Yunfu shouted without any image, and his voice could be heard dozens of meters away.
"Let me go, and he'll be safe." The figure changed his voice and confronted Gu Ci: among these people standing in Anshun Hall, she was the most afraid of Gu Ci, who was strong in martial arts, and the others were lowly and had nothing to fear.
Gu Yunfu turned his gaze to Gu Ci: "Xiao Ci, Xiao Ci, I am your own uncle, you can't give up on me for the sake of inviting merit, save me first, save me...... This spy has run away, we can catch it again, but if I die, I can't be resurrected......"
"Shut up, don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" Gu Ci has always been gentle, just like a handsome boy who has no temper, he has never reprimanded anyone at all, after the words came out, not only Gu Yunfu was shocked and obediently shut up, but even the old lady was slightly surprised by Gu Ci's words.
However, she quickly reacted, and her heart was filled not with worry, but with joy: men should be like this, when it is time to lose their temper, they must lose their temper, deter and deter those disobedient treacherous villains, otherwise, others will think that you are a little sheep who are easy to bully.
No matter what Gu Yunfu said, he is the third master of the General's Mansion, Gu Ci and the old lady will not ignore him in order to catch the spies, not to mention, he is not the old lady's own child, if everyone is in front of him, he really lost his life because of this matter, outsiders have to criticize the old lady for conniving at his grandson's harsh concubine, the reputation of the old lady and Gu Ci is stinking The figure held Gu Yunfu hostage and slowly retreated, the guards consciously gave way to a road, Gu Ci walked in the front, pressing step by step, the eyes of the figure were always focused on him, not paying attention to others, Shen Qingwan's eyes flashed slightly, and she disappeared in front of everyone silently, the old lady was full of thoughts about Gu Ci and the figure, Gu Yunfu didn't notice that Shen Qingwan left......
The figure held Gu Yunfu hostage and came to a high wall, looked back at the height of the thick wall, made up his mind in his heart, and suddenly pushed Gu Yunfu forward: "The person will be returned to you!" ”
Gu Ci flashed lightly and avoided Gu Yunfu, but the speed of the guards was not as fast as Gu Ci, and he overwhelmed a large area.
Taking advantage of the moment when the guards couldn't start, the figure clicked on his feet and wanted to fly away, a cold light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye, and there was a hot pain in his arm.
Shen Qingwan! The figure gritted his teeth angrily, swung his sword and stabbed at Shen Qingwan, and the cold light flashed in front of him again, but it was Gu Qi who took out the sword, and while knocking the sword down in the figure hand, he also punched her a few meters away.
"Evening, it's okay." Gu Ci was anxious about Shen Qingwan, and the figure who fell to the ground saw the opportunity, took a deep breath, and flew away.
"I'm fine, quit my brother, the man ran away." Shen Qingwan raised her head, only had time to see her figure jumping out of the wall, and couldn't help but sigh a little in her heart: she was actually allowed to escape!
Gu Ci smiled confidently: "Don't worry, the entire Great General's Mansion has long been tightly sealed, and she can't escape from the ......" "Evening, you are really nonsense." The old lady walked over quickly holding Ruyan's hand, reproaching in her words, but her eyes flashed with deep concern: "It's okay for you to quit your brother here, you are a girl's family, soft and weak, and you have no power to restrain the chicken, how can you take such a risk, what should I do if I get hurt?" ”
"Grandmother, I'm fine." Knowing that the old lady was caring about herself, of course Shen Qingwan had to follow her words, handed the sword in her hand to Xun Han, hugged the old lady's arm and comforted her, the old lady deliberately ignored her with a straight face, Shen Qingwan had to make a guarantee: "Only this once, don't take it as an example, grandmother don't get angry......"
Looking at Shen Qingwan's guilty little face, the old lady softened her heart, but her tone was solemn: "This is what you said, this time, it will not be an example......
"I promise there won't be a next time." Shen Qingwan's tone was solemn, and she just raised her hand and swore an oath, but the old lady put her mind at ease, smiled, and wanted to educate her again.
The guard next to him exclaimed, "Look...... What's that on the third master? ”
Everyone looked back, under the candlelight, Gu Yunfu's body climbed a dense layer, beige, I don't know what it was, Gu Yunfu kept scratching, and shouted in surprise: "Help, help!" His voice trembled slightly.
Although the guards were his cronies, they were frightened by the unknown objects on his body, and they all watched from afar, and none of them dared to come forward to help.
Shen Qingwan hooked her lips and sneered, only now that she knew that she was afraid, it was too late: "The spy just now was the one who poisoned my grandmother, and the third uncle couldn't have been poisoned by her!" ”
"What, poison me?" Gu Yunfu was stunned for a moment, and then a thick hatred swelled up in his eyes: "Damn, she actually dares to poison me......"
"If the third uncle is poisoned, we will definitely be busy asking for a doctor, how can we have time to hunt her down again, that person is really smart, use this method to delay time......" Shen Qingwan's eyes paid close attention to every expression on Gu Yunfu's face without blinking, and the corners of his mouth lightly hooked a cold smile: As expected! Come on, please ask for a doctor! The old lady spoke, and the guards who reacted first took the order and left, and the guards who reacted afterwards sighed secretly: Gu Yunfu is like this now, of course, the farther away from him, the better, who dares to get close to him, what if the poison spreads to him?
Shen Qing had already pointed out that the spy was poisoned to delay time, and Gu Yunfu naturally wanted to say some polite words in order to show his generosity: "You don't have to worry about me, go and catch the spy!" ”
The guards were eager to leave here earlier, as soon as Gu Yunfu spoke, the guards agreed as if they had been amnesty, and quickly turned around to leave, Gu Yunfu's seven holes smoked, but he didn't know what to say and leave a few people to help him.
"You wait." Shen Qingwan stopped the guards: "The third uncle is poisoned, it must be very uncomfortable, you can help him and then leave......"
"Little Miss, the little ones are not doctors, how can you help?" One of the guards couldn't help but ask.
Shen Qingwan looked at Gu Yunfu, who was terrified: "The third uncle seems to be crawling on some kind of very small animal, you go up and catch it, it should be fine." ”
"Yes, yes, yes...... Take these hateful things down...... I'll be fine. Gu Yunfu nodded again and again like a chicken catching rice, full of gratitude to Shen Qingwan's righteousness: "These things are like sticking to me, I need to use all my strength to catch the next one, you come and help......"
A guard's eyes rolled: "Little Miss, it's not that the little ones are afraid of death, the poison is on the third master, what if these animals catch a batch and come again?" "If the poison on Gu Yunfu's body has not decreased, and they have also been poisoned, wouldn't it be in vain." This ......" Shen Qingwan frowned and pondered, Gu Yunfu couldn't hold his breath: "Later, hurry up and think of a way to save me...... I'm your third uncle......"
Shen Qingwan sneered silently, now that I think of him, he is my third uncle, when he wronged himself for poisoning his grandmother, how could he not have imagined, of course, he is an elder, he will not do much with you, his life, he will definitely 'save'!
Shen Qing came back to his senses late and looked at the guards: "Several big brothers are wearing shoes, it is better to step on those unknown animals with their feet, through a layer of soles, even if the animals are poisonous, they can't penetrate into the skin, after you help the third uncle, you can quickly go back and change your shoes." ”
The guards thought for a moment: "Okay, just listen to the little lady." "This is the most compromise solution, and if they don't obey the order, they will definitely be punished.
The guards gathered around Gu Yunfu and looked at him condescendingly: "Third master, are you ready, we are going to start." ”
"I'm the master of the General's Mansion, how can I let you guards step on it." Gu Yunfu was furious, and the guards looked at Shen Qingwan in embarrassment: "Little Miss! "It's that he doesn't want us to help, it's not that we don't help.
Shen Qingwan sighed in embarrassment: "Then you go and help catch the spy first, and then see the third uncle when the imperial doctor comes......"
"No way!" Gu Yunfu didn't think about it, and vetoed it: the unknown animal on his body made him creepy and frightened, how could he wait for the imperial doctor to come......
"Then the third uncle, what do you say should be done?" He doesn't listen to what he says, so let him take the idea.
"This ......" Gu Yunfu's face became very ugly, he hesitated for a while, and was ruthless: "Come and step on it, move lightly, don't step on me." "That's right."
A guard handed over a wooden stick: "Third master, the little ones try to move as lightly as possible, but it is not excluded that there are stubborn animals, and the strength of the small ones may be heavier, you bite this!" ”
Gu Yunfu was unwilling, and reluctantly took the wooden stick and bit it, and the guards went into battle, raised their big feet, and stepped on Gu Yunfu fiercely.
"Hmmmm......" The guards were wearing special official boots, and it hurt to step on it, Gu Yunfu screamed again and again, but because his mouth was gagged, he couldn't scream, his eyes were round, his face was red, and his forehead was bruised......
Shen Qingwan couldn't hold back a smile and quietly looked at Gu Yunxiang, who raised his lips to look at the excitement: I thought he was a little sheep who was not in harmony with the world, but who would have thought that he was a big bad wolf with a black belly, and the moment the figure pushed Gu Yunfu to the guards, it was he who poisoned Gu Yunfu, where did his poison come from? Do you want it from Imperial Doctor Chen?
"The Doctor has arrived!" A guard shouted outside, Gu Yunfu suddenly exploded in anger, the imperial doctor came so soon, he knew that this was the case, he would not let these guards step on him, he was angry, angry......
I don't know if the guards are too heavy, or Gu Yunfu is too angry, his eyes rolled, and he fainted: "Quickly carry the third uncle into the room and let the imperial doctor heal." "It's all faint, and I don't feel it anymore when I step on him.
The guards stopped, grabbed a little of his clothes, and carried him out of Anshun Hall, and the imperial doctor also followed the guards away.
Gu Ci gave an order: "Come on, Haosheng guards the courtyard of the second and third uncles, and no one is allowed to come out, the spy is very cunning, I am afraid that she will hurt them again." The words were very high-sounding, Mingli, for the sake of Gu Yunting and Gu Yunfu's safety, but in fact, he didn't want the two of them to come out again to disturb him and arrest people.
The guards received the order and quickly went to guard Gu Yunting, Gu Yunfu's courtyard, Shen Qingwan smiled faintly: "Brother quit, is it time to close the door and arrest the thief." ”
Gu Ci faced the guards: "Bring all the subordinates of Anshun Hall to the courtyard, I have something to interrogate." ”
Anshun Hall is the courtyard of the old lady, the first-class maid, the second-class maid, the third-class maid, the rough mother, there are many people in total, and they stand in half the yard.
The old lady sat on the side and drank tea leisurely: "Xiao Ci, the matter will be handed over to you." "Gu Ci is the future master of the Great General's Mansion, and when the time is right, he should also exercise.
There was such a big thing in Anshuntang, Gu Yunyan and Luo also came, the old lady spoke, and he didn't refute it, Gu Ci is his son, his son is excellent, and he, the father, also has face.
Gu Ci stood on the steps, condescendingly looking at the maids and grandmothers in the courtyard, his serious gaze swept over their faces one by one, and said coldly: "If you take the initiative to admit the crime, I can spare you from death." ”
The people were quiet, without a sound, and everyone fell to the ground tremblingly, crying: "Young Master, we don't understand what you're talking about...... We have always served the old lady with all our hearts, and we have not done anything bad......"
"Get up, don't make me say it a second time!" Gu Ci's tone was stern, and he slowly walked down the steps, and for a moment, Shen Qingwan thought that Gu Yunyan was dealing with things: Tiger father has no dog, this is really not wrong at all, Gu Ci is very decisive and strong in Gu Yunyan's handling of things, and his filial piety and gentle temperament are only available in front of relatives!
