Chapter 64: Retribution Is Finally Coming!
Just stop there?
Letting the other side go unpunished?
This is absolutely impossible.
Although Gu Ming is not a perfectionist, he is by no means a person who gives up easily.
Not to mention the idea that the father and son of the Shen family dared to beat his fiancΓ©e, even if they didn't clean it up openly, they would have to abolish the unscrupulous father and son.
As soon as it was dark, he infiltrated the Shen Mansion.
It seems that this guy is really greedy, although the house is not very big, but it is very luxurious.
Small bridges and flowing water, rockery corridors, are scattered.
After some searching, I finally found my target in a side room.
The door is closed.
But this was difficult for Gu Ming, who secretly uncovered the tiles from the roof, and could see them clearly from the gaps.
There were three men in the room who were drinking.
Two of them were Shen Butong's father and son, and the other, Gu Ming recognized at a glance, was the man surnamed Liu described by Wu Chang.
"Steward Liu, are you sure you didn't leave any traces of spiders?"
"Don't worry, sir, the villain spent three hundred taels of silver to find someone to make it. When he succeeded, the man flew away, never showing his feet. β
"Hmm!" Shen Butong nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately, I started quickly, otherwise I would have been preempted by the surnamed Chen." β
"Father, with that Chen Zibai here, we are restrained everywhere, we have to find a way to get him away."
"It's easy for you to say, he's patrolling the imperial history, don't come nonsense with your kid."
"But father, child...... As soon as the child saw Nie Xiaoqian, his soul seemed to be hooked away......"
Shen Butong said angrily: "Something that is not productive, there are fewer beauties in this Jinhua Mansion?" Why do you have to miss her? β
"Yes, yes, young master, what the master said is reasonable, the relationship between the surname Nie and Lord Chen is not ordinary, it is better to ......"
Steward Liu didn't finish speaking, but Shen Xiuyuan shouted angrily: "Shut up, Young Master Ben is in love with her, no matter what, Young Master Ben has to find a way to get it!" β
Human psychology is like this, the more you can't get something, the more you want to get it.
The more you can't get it, the more precious it becomes.
It's just that when these words were heard in Gu Ming's ears, a wisp of murderous intent was born from the bottom of his heart.
Dogs, all of them are still thieves at this time......
"Alright, let's talk about this later!" Shen Butong glared at his son with some dissatisfaction, and then got up and poured wine himself.
"Steward Liu has worked hard, and this official will give you another cup ......"
At this time, Gu Ming saw clearly on the roof, this guy actually took advantage of the sleeves of his shirt, and he didn't know what he threw into the wine glass.
I'm afraid I'm going to die again?
For a while, Gu Ming couldn't help but hesitate.
Should you stop it?
After all, this Steward Liu is an important witness.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to let it go, after all, if he made a move now, he would definitely startle the snake and fall into passivity.
"Thank you, thank you, sir!"
Steward Liu looked flattered, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Sure enough, not long after a while, Steward Liu's face suddenly changed, he raised his hand to cover his stomach, and a trace of blood soaked out of his mouth.
"Sir, you ...... You ......"
"Steward Liu, this official can't stand you. You have worked hard for more than ten years for this official before and after the saddle, and you know too many facts......"
"Sir, don't ...... Save...... Help me......"
I don't know what kind of poison this is, the attack is quite fast, and before he finished a complete sentence, Steward Liu fell to the ground softly.
"Yuan'er, you go and call someone to come over and temporarily bury Steward Liu's body next to the firewood room in the backyard. When the limelight passes, choose a place with good feng shui for burial. β
"Yes!"
Shen Xiuyuan responded.
Soon after, two family members rushed into the house, wrapped the body of Steward Liu in a sheet and dragged it to the backyard, and quickly dug a pit and buried it.
All this was secretly seen by Gu Ming.
When he was done, Shen Xiuyuan hummed a minor tune and walked to another small courtyard to prepare to go back to his room to sleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the dark, I felt a pain in the back of my neck and fainted on the spot......
"Ah~"
At dawn, the early risers began to clean the yard, but unexpectedly found the young master lying in a pool of blood, and immediately screamed in fright.
The entire Shen Mansion suddenly became chaotic......
Lang Zhong hurriedly came, and after some healing, he finally woke up Shen Xiuyuan.
However, he became a eunuch forever.
"Who is it, who did it? The officer must have peeled his skin ......"
Shen Buxiu is about to go crazy.
You must know that in addition to the main house, he also married a three-room concubine, but the one who inherited the incense was Shen Xiuyuan, because he would be pampered in every way.
As a result, people are alive now, but the incense is completely broken......
A group of subordinates were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath, some hooked their heads, and some knelt on the ground, for fear of harming the pond fish.
Shen Butong was going crazy, but unexpectedly, a subordinate stumbled in outside the hospital:
"Old ...... Sir, ...... outside. It's good to be out there...... A lot of catches......"
Catch fast?
Although Shen Butong was in grief and anger, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.
When he was suspicious, he saw a head catcher surnamed Chen in the government and led the crowd in.
Seeing this, Shen Butong had to force his composure, took a few steps forward with the official shelf, and asked, "Chen Zhutou, why did you break into the official mansion early in the morning?" β
"Lord Shen, my subordinates came to investigate the case on the orders of the prefect."
As soon as he heard this, Shen Butong broke out in a cold sweat, and Guan Wei also lost a few points, and asked in a trembling voice: "Check...... What case is being investigated? β
"Someone reported Lord Shen, saying that Lord Shen poisoned people's lives and hid corpses in the backyard......"
"Nonsense, this is clearly framing the official."
Shen Butong was embarrassed and angry on the surface, but he was horrified in his heart.
Last night's events were clearly leaky, how could it leak out so quickly?
"Lord Shen, please don't embarrass your subordinates, your subordinates are also acting on the orders of Shangfeng. Come on, go to the backyard and search. β
"Yes!"
"Bold!"
Shen Butong panicked.
After all, he had a ghost in his heart, and if he really wanted to go to the backyard to search and dig out Steward Liu's body, it would be difficult for him to justify.
"Chen Zhutou, this official is a government official, you had better think about the consequences. You can't find anything here, beware of your sins. β
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhutou replied forcefully: "Lord Shen, this is the order of the prefect, and his subordinates can only follow the order, go, and search the backyard!" β
"It's the other way around...... The official will go to the prefect now......"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Butong was ready to slip away and went to the government to find someone to discuss countermeasures.
I didn't know, but I was stopped by two catchers.
"I'm sorry Lord Shen, the prefect has an order, Lord Shen and Prince Ling are not allowed to leave the house for the time being."
"Goodong~"
As soon as he heard this, Shen Butong was frightened, shocked, angry, and anxious...... I fainted.
After a few more catchers came to the backyard, they searched a little and found the place where the corpses were buried.
As soon as he dug up, he dug up the body of Steward Liu.
There was also a servant who accompanied him, and he examined the corpse on the spot, and said in an affirmative tone: "Chen Zhutou, this person died of poisoning and died last night." β
"Very good, then prove that what the whistleblower said is true, continue to search the study......"
"Yes, Lord Headcatcher!"
