Chapter 213: Attempted Murder
At the time when Su Xin went to report, Gu Qingyan was still rummaging around the house, and finally took out two boxes of fat powder and a bottle of hair oil from his dressing box, opened the lid and smelled it, then frowned, took it and walked out of the house.
"Sister Qu still sits under the porch for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the house." Gu Qingyan said coldly.
Qu Yimeng nodded, and then saw Gu Qingyan holding something in his hand and walked towards Suruo, and then listened to Gu Qingyan's extremely cold tone and asked.
"Who told you to do it?" Gu Qingyan asked.
"Who gave you something?" Gu Qingyan asked.
"Do you know the consequences of that?" Gu Qingyan asked three times.
Su Ruo looked directly into Gu Qingyan's eyes, she was a little scared, not to say how sharp her three questions were or anything, but the cold light and killing intent in her eyes, unabashedly expressing her desire to devour Su Ruo alive.
Su Ruo was a little nervous, her eyes began to dodge, Gu Qingyan pinched her chin with one hand, Su Ruo's skin was very soft, there was a shallow layer of rouge on her face, Gu Qingyan was close, and she smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.
She was very sensitive to smells, so she naturally quickly knew where she had smelled it, Gu Qingyan sneered: "Do you like to use other people's charity things so much?" Then why don't you try my hand? ”
Saying that, Gu Qingyan temporarily let go of the hairpin, opened the rouge on his hand, and didn't touch it directly, but took off the hairpin on his head, picked a little, and held the hairpin in his hand to approach the face of the hairpin.
Su Ruo's eyes widened, still wanting to dodge, her head tilted back and forth, Gu Qingyan was not in a hurry to fix her this time, she just stopped the hairpin in front of her eyes, and looked at her coldly.
"Poisoned?"
Su Ruo shook his head and took out his self-righteous composure: "Don't slander people casually!" ”
"Slander? Scold. Gu Qingyan didn't hold back, and snorted coldly, "You sneakily appeared in my room, there are scorpions and the fat powder that I found that was poisoned and smelled, you say I slandered?" ”
"I entered your room, but what proof do you have that I put these things in!" is still arguing with strong words.
Gu Qingyan said: "Oh, no, that's right, this scorpion may not have been brought by you, and the taste of this fat powder really can't be directly said to be because of you." ”
Gu Qingyan's tone suddenly changed, but it made Su Ru stunned, as if she suddenly had confidence: "So, I still advise the girl to untie me, we have something to say." ”
"Really? But what are you going to do when you come into my room? Gu Qingyan looked at Su Ruo playfully, and said in her heart that she had seen those methods of competing for fame and favor in the palace since she was a child, and she didn't know how much better than this.
Su Ru didn't shy away from this topic, and replied: "Hmph, I just want to see who you are!" ”
Gu Qingyan smiled, his tone softened, and said, "Don't believe that I am the righteous daughter of Qingquan Villa?" Or do you think that the owner of Qingquan Villa has been deceived? You're really concerned, the owner of the Han Shaozhuang has to thank you. ”
Su Ru stopped talking, in the final analysis, she didn't care who Gu Qingyan was, she did this for another purpose, just to prevaricate Gu Qingyan for a reason.
"Why don't you speak? Let me ask you, then, what can you find out from my room, since you have doubts about my identity? Gu Qingyan turned his back to Su Ruo and looked into the room and asked.
Su Ruo bit her lip, she didn't find anything, she went in to put those things, but it seemed that Gu Qingyan was holding on to this, and kept asking her with this, and she had nothing to answer.
"Can't tell? Shall I give you some ideas? ”
"First, since I'm from Qingquan Villa, why don't I use a sword when I shoot a few times, right?"
"Second, why do I say I'm sick and wear a veil all the time but don't look like a sick person, right?"
"Third, let me think about it, do you always think that I have an unusual relationship with the owner of Han Shaozhuang, if I live well in this world, some people think I am an eyesore, if something really happens to me here, they can't get out of it, so I let you come, right!"
Every time Gu Qingyan asked a question, she approached Su Ruo step by step, and when she asked the first two questions, Gu Qingyan saw that Su Ruo's expression did not change in particular, until she said the last question, Su Ruo's expression was a little abnormal, and her pupils also changed a little, and then she realized that she hurriedly wanted to use her composure to cover up the small action that Gu Qingyan saw clearly.
Qu Yimeng's hands in her sleeves were silently clasped together, and Gu Qingyan didn't look at her the whole time, but when she listened to Gu Qingyan's questioning, she felt a little uncomfortable, depressed, and a feeling of fear.
"I don't understand what you're saying?" Su Ruo spoke again, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.
Gu Qingyan sneered, pinched his neck with his right hand, and said in a low voice: "You remember, I don't need to know the answer from you, and you can't know the answer from me." ”
The tone was cold, the force in her hand increased, and she slowly felt that she couldn't breathe, and she now felt the meaning of the three words "for the dead ghost" that Gu Qingyan didn't say.
She tried to struggle, but her hands were firmly tied together with the soft whip, and her feet seemed to be unconscious now, and she couldn't control them.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, when I tied you up, I put a silver needle on your waist, it won't hurt, it's just numb to the point of being unconscious."
After Gu Qingyan finished speaking, the strength in his hand became a little heavier, his face was already red, and his expression could already be described as difficult.
"If you want to use poison to harm me, you don't look at how many pounds and taels you have!"
Gu Qingyan said that, and threw the bottle in his hand, which seemed to be not very powerful, but the sparse fat powder and debris that smashed to the ground had already expressed the anger in Gu Qingyan's heart.
Han Yan was still a few steps away from Wei Ruixuan when he heard the sound of something hitting the ground and shattering, and continued to walk faster, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Gu Qingyan pinching a woman, the woman had already turned the whites of her eyes upward, and in a few seconds, she would be out of breath.
Han Yan hurriedly stepped forward, held Gu Qingyan's right wrist with one hand, gently patted Gu Qingyan's back with the other, and called softly: "Girl." ”
Nangong Yuan, who followed closely, saw Qu Yimeng sitting on the side first, and hurriedly asked her, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Qu Yimeng shook his head and said softly: "It's okay, I didn't see those things, the fourth girl and Su Xin didn't let me into the house." ”
"Ahem, ahem." A hoarse cough with a wheezing sound came intermittently.
Gu Qingyan finally let go of Xu Ruo under the appeasement of Han Yan.
At this moment, Han Yan turned his head to look at the bag of unknown things and the red rouge thrown on the ground.
"With a sword." Gu Qingyan reminded Han Yan.
Immediately afterwards, Han Yan lightly picked at the ball with his sword, and the knot that Gu Qingyan had tied was scattered, and the scorpions that had been covered for a while and had been drugged were now lying crookedly one by one.
Han Yan gasped, looked at Gu Qingyan, and then looked at Qu Yimeng, who had been protected by Nangong Yuan, and then nodded towards Nangong Yuan, motioning for him to take a look as well.
Nangong Yuan walked over at this time, and when he saw those scorpions clearly, Nangong Yuan first gave Gu Qingyan a salute: "Thank you." ”
When he raised his eyes and looked at Su Ruo again, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
The cold rock sword was already out of its sheath, and it took a lot of effort to put the sword on its neck.
Gu Qingyan gave Han Yan a look, which roughly meant: Do you know why I want to strangle her?
At this moment, Bai Shu and Yu Zhen came in front and back, followed by a group of female disciples of the Sang'e faction.
"Prince Bai Shu and head Yuzhen, give an explanation." Hanyan suppressed his anger, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hanyan now was the same as the lion he was going to fight.
On the other hand, looking at Gu Qingyan beside him, who could have known that just before Han Yan came in, this woman was still haunted like a poisonous snake, and now she looked like "I have a backer", holding her hands and looking at the people opposite.
Bai Shu really felt that he had been back home recently, Han Yan on the front foot had just warned them, and Wei Ruixuan on the back foot had this incident, looked at the scorpion lying on the ground, and then looked at the woman who was tied up and her face was pale until now, and finally looked at the head of Yuzhen.
How old is the head of Yuzhen, who is still able to hold his breath when he sees this scene, and says, "I wonder if the girl can tell me what happened?" ”
Fortunately, the head of Yuzhen did not directly excuse his disciple when he came up.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said very steadily: "After Mrs. Nangong and I sent Miss Bai back to the house, we planned to come to Wei Ruixuan again to talk, but before I entered the house, I felt that there were people in the house." ”
Saying that, Gu Qingyan glanced at Su Ru, needless to say, everyone could know who the person in the room was.
"Did the girl fight her and tie her up here?" The head of Yuzhen asked again.
Gu Qingyan still replied: "Yes, the maid and Mrs. Nangong around me don't know martial arts, so they can only be tied up in case, otherwise how can I rest assured that I will find these things?" ”
Gu Qingyan asked rhetorically, and there seemed to be a hint in his words, Yu Zhen could understand it, looked at Nangong Yuan, and nodded slightly to express his apologies for the time being.
"What is this?" Yuzhen also asked Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan took off another hairpin on his head, squatted down, and stabbed a scorpion and shook it in front of everyone: "They are all people in the rivers and lakes, you should understand that a scorpion is not very toxic, it is really me who was accidentally poisoned, and I will not lose my life, besides, the hidden sword gate is backed by the mountains, and it is understandable that a half scorpion ran into the room." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Qingyan deliberately stopped, looked at the head of Yuzhen carefully, and seemed to tell her, "What do you want to say, I understand."
Then the conversation changed, and Gu Qingyan said again: "However, so many scorpions have only been found in bed, I have to suspect that someone deliberately framed them." And also! ”
Seeing that the head of Yuzhen was about to speak again, Gu Qingyan lowered his voice: "This thing shouldn't be brought by this Suruo girl, otherwise, it will be dangerous for the Sang'e faction to be in the same door." ”
Yuzhen thought at first that Gu Qingyan would bite the bullet, but she didn't expect Gu Qingyan to change the topic and come to a move that shook people's hearts, not to mention, listening to Gu Qingyan's words, several female disciples of the Sang'e faction seemed to feel that something was wrong with their bodies.
Yu Zhen glanced at them a few times, and then the female disciples lowered their heads and quieted down.
"So, the girl can't be sure that it's the scorpion released by my Sang'e sect's disciple?" Yu Zhen found a gap and asked Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and shook her head: "Don't be confident, do you know why I can find out that someone is in my house before I enter the house?" ”
Everyone didn't understand, Gu Qingyan smiled.
"Earlier, my maid cooked medicine for me, the house was full of medicinal smell, she put some incense pills, and opened the window to breathe, the scorpion is a living creature and poisonous, most of the people who want to handle it are also afraid that the scorpion will pierce themselves, so it is inevitable to put some insect powder or insect sachet on the body, I can't smell too complicated fragrance, and secondly, I am sensitive to the smell, but whenever a little bit of unfamiliar smell appears, I will know it clearly."
Gu Qingyan said, looking at a sachet hanging from her waist: "Master Shu, please send someone to get it, lest someone say that I have done it." ”
Bai Shu was suddenly mentioned by Gu Qingyan, and hurriedly called a maid to take off the sachet from her waist.
"Check it out for yourself." Gu Qingyan said coldly, "If you think I understand my hands and feet, you can go into the house to have a look, or take a sniff on the sheet to see if I have the same kind of medicinal powder." ”
After speaking, Gu Qingyan returned to Han Yan's side and muttered, "I'm so tired." ”
Han Yan touched the back of Gu Qingyan's head and whispered, "Give it to me." ”
Gu Qingyan nodded, looked at the rouge on the ground, and added: "There are things there, but it's not too bad, you can do it." Then he stayed by Hanyan's side and didn't move.
Yu Zhen saw that Gu Qingyan's words not only suppressed her original momentum, but also blocked the words behind her, and she was resentful, but she had to accept the facts in front of her, her disciple did make a mistake and was caught red-handed, losing her face, not to mention, this is going to spread out, where to put the face of the Sang'e faction.
"Is the head of Yuzhen finished?" This time, it was Hanyan who made a sound. Han Yan was not a person who was enthusiastic about everyone, and now his tone was even lowered.
The head of Yuzhen also trembled, and thought about it in his heart, that girl is also a person from Qingquan Villa, and the power of Qingquan Villa in the Sword Sect is not small, at least the fame of the rivers and lakes is much greater than that of the Sang'e faction, and she can't afford to provoke this cold young village owner.
Moreover, when Fang saw the intimate movements between them, his heart became much clearer, and his momentum changed, and he said: "It is this sect that has no way to discipline the disciples, how to punish and listen to the Han Shaozhuang master and the girl." ”
Gu Qingyan saw that the attitude of the head of this Yuzhen changed quickly, this saw the wind and the rudder, and Xindao already knew that he would let Han Yan go directly, and he talked so much nonsense with her, he was really tired.
Han Yan looked at Gu Qingyan, and when he saw Gu Qingyan shaking his head, he looked at the head of Yuzhen again, and by the way, his eyes took the rouge that everyone on the ground deliberately ignored.
Qu Yimeng pulled Nangong Yuan's sleeve, Nangong Yuan understood, and said at the right time: "Then this is the girl who spilled it when she was fighting?" ”
"I looked at this thing and the girl asked Suruo, and Suruo seemed to be afraid to try it in her face, should it?" Qu Yimeng also added.
Then Han Yan snorted coldly: "The disciples of the rivers and lakes used this as a means, I don't know if it was my Qingquan Villa that provoked you or where did my girl offend you?" ”
Han Yan was also reminding Bai Shu this time, don't be like no one else, this kind of method, he should know who is behind it.
Sure enough, Bai Shu answered: "Where is the owner of Han Shaozhuang?" ”
"Hmph, we don't dare to say that we want to punish the girl, since the Sword Sect Banquet can't tolerate us, we won't be bored."
Han Yan said, pulling Gu Qingyan and going out, like he was going to leave the Hidden Sword Gate.
Bai Shu hurriedly stopped, if Han Yan really went down the mountain, maybe there would be other rumors outside for a while, and his face would not look good at that time: "Han Shaozhuang owner stays, stays"
Then he turned to the head of Yuzhen and said: "Head of Yuzhen, I look at people, you can take it down first, think about how to punish it, and talk to the owner of Han Shaozhuang." ”
Yu Zhen went downhill, responded, and then asked someone to untie the flocculent, ready to take people down.
Bai Shu also arranged: "I'm afraid that Miss Wei Ruixuan won't feel at ease if she lives, I'll clean up a yard again, can the girl move in?" ”
Han Yan looked at Gu Qingyan and asked what she meant, Gu Qingyan waved his hand: "It's been a few days, don't bother Master Shu, I...."
Before Gu Qingyan finished speaking, Qu Yimeng said, "Let the girl live with me." ”
As the words came out, Qu Yimeng winked at Gu Qingyan and smiled, Gu Qingyan also smiled back, okay, Qu Yimeng was quiet, no one bothered, and it was more convenient for Han Yan to go to her and follow Nangong Yuan, so she also agreed.
In this afternoon, Gu Qingyan moved to Qu Yimeng's residence, and when she finished cleaning up, it was past lunch time, but the people in the kitchen brought lunch, saying that because of various things, everyone missed the time, so they ate separately.
