Chapter 143 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
Yingsi pursed her lips, pulled aside the curtain and glanced at Wei Xuanzhi who was riding a horse in front of her.
He said that everyone would serve their own masters when they returned to the palace. If this Yangxin Gu was really that powerful, how could he stick to his principles?
However, she also wanted to see someone like him break his own principles.
It should be very cool.
After changing the carriage, the journey took longer.
This time we are not in such a hurry, we can stop and enjoy the scenery along the way.
When passing Lianzhou, Wei Xuanzhi stopped on purpose.
Later I found out that he had already informed Zhang Leqing in advance and wanted to take Aunt Qian back to Beijing with him.
As for her daughter, Zhang Leqing has already settled her down, so she shouldn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
As they got closer to the capital, the team moved slower and slower.
Although he could have reached the capital overnight, Wei Xuanzhi chose to stop at the post station before dark.
"We'll continue our journey tomorrow. Rest early today."
Yingsi jumped out of the carriage and went to help Aunt Qian.
When he passed by Wei Xuanzhi, he said in a deep voice: "Don't close the door at night."
Thinking of something, Yingsi's face darkened and she glared at him and said, "You pervert!"
Wei Xuanzhi looked puzzled and wanted to explain something, but Yingsi had already left with Aunt Qian.
Lady Jin followed closely behind, smiled secretly and said jokingly:
"I was wondering who could have left such a deep mark on her body that lasted for several days... Turns out it was you, my Lord..."
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her and said in a grim tone: "Want to die? I don't mind giving you a ride."
Lady Jin shrank her neck in fear, and laughed as she walked: "My Lord, I will not like your rudeness..."
late at night.
Yingsi spent a long time struggling over whether to lock the door or not, and ended up waiting for a black-clad assassin to break in from the window.
Fortunately, she went to bed late and hadn't taken off her clothes yet.
She ran out the moment the assassin came in.
As soon as his hand fell on the door handle, the door was pushed open, and Wei Xuanzhi quickly rushed in.
Before Yingsi could be surprised, he had already put his arm around her waist, turned around and put her outside the door.
Then he turned back to the house and killed several people with just three or two knife strikes.
Yingsi leaned against the door and watched.
After killing the man, Wei Xuanzhi put the bloody scimitar back into the scabbard without looking away. This series of actions was a feast for the eyes from hell.
Of course, that is, without having to kill her.
Then two factory officials came in and dragged the man away.
It all seems very reasonable.
When passing by her, Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her calmly and said, "The night is still long, go to Jin Niangzi's room and sleep."
Yingsi blinked, grabbed his scabbard and asked, "Is this wave coming for me?"
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at the fingers she placed on the scabbard, his expression calm.
"Yes."
Yingsi pursed her lips: "Is it... General Mu?"
He looked at her for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Ah."
"When did you find out?"
"Out of Lianzhou."
Yingsi sighed. If he followed her out of Lianzhou, wouldn't that mean he was waiting to kill her?
I'm afraid nothing good will come of this return.
Wei Xuanzhi seemed to sense her concerns and spoke in an unusually calm tone.
"After entering the capital, they dared not take action again."
It's just that I can't kill her openly, I will always think of other ways to kill her...
Yingsi's mind was as clear as a mirror. She lowered her eyes and bowed slightly: "Yes... Thank you very much, sir."
Wei Xuanzhi darkened his eyes and was silent for a moment, then suddenly used his fingers to pry open her fingertips that were still on the scabbard.
Then he leaned over and slowly approached.
"This afternoon, the Governor asked you not to close the door. What did you think?"
The topic suddenly changed. Yingsi coughed lightly and immediately looked away guiltily.
"Where are Aunt Qian and Miss Jin? Are there any assassins there..."
Wei Xuanzhi turned her face so that she could face him.
"Who do you take me for?"
Yingsi slapped his hand away and answered him perfunctorily while thinking of an escape route.
"I have no brains and can't figure anything out, but the adults' arrangements must make sense!"
He pulled back slightly, a smile on his face, as if accepting her explanation.
However, just as she was about to slip away from underneath him, he quite casually pulled her back.
Then he bent down and kissed her.
He took it from her mouth quickly and naturally, and released it in an instant.
"I really don't want to suffer any loss." Yingsi complained.
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her frivolously and turned away.
Mrs. Jin's room was locked, and Yingsi knocked twice before she opened the door.
"What happened outside?"
Yingsi walked inside and said, "There were a few little assassins, but the adults have already dealt with them."
Lady Jin patted her chest in fear and said, "I felt a little nervous just now and I didn't dare to fall asleep."
Yingsi patted her hands and pulled her to sleep together.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen with an adult here."
Only when she heard that Wei Xuanzhi had already dealt with all the people did Lady Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
"From what you said, you seem to trust him quite a lot."
Yingsi took off his coat and lay down, muttering, "I've been through life and death with him a few times, and he always managed to escape danger. I guess I can barely count on him trusting me."
...
On the other side, the factory messenger sent the survivor of the assassination of Aunt Qian to Wei Xuanzhi's room.
The two men were about to take poison, but Wei Xuanzhi curled his lips and raised his hands to break their jaws and wrist joints.
The factory envoy was full of doubts and asked, "Sir, these people have been following us since we left Chuzhou. Why are they taking action only now?"
Wei Xuanzhi took out the secret letter from their arms and took a look at it. His expression darkened instantly. He rubbed the signature twice with his fingertips, then glanced sideways at the two people kneeling on the ground.
"I have only sent a secret letter about the Gu family case to one person. Do you think I am a fool?"
The two of them were speechless and could only respond with "hmm".
Upon seeing this, the factory manager installed a chin on one of them.
The man immediately said, "Since you know, you should understand the intention. Killing the old woman will complete the mission."
"It's really him..."
Wei Xuanzhi sneered, raised his hand and cut off the man's fingers with a knife.
The man instantly howled in pain, and the entire inn was filled with his screams.
"You mean, I can only let him do whatever he wants in this case?"
The man held his hands in pain and sweated as he continued to persuade:
"No, Wei Xuanzhi, this case has been over for so many years, it cannot be overturned. Even if you bring the person back, you won't find anything. The Prime Minister treats you like a son, and Concubine Li treats you like a brother. For their sake, just pretend to be blind for once."
Blind? Wei Xuanzhi laughed at himself.
He was already blind before entering the palace.
The man who claimed to treat him like a father turned out to be the one who destroyed his family.
How ridiculous, how absurd.
Judging from that man's personality, if he knew that he was the only surviving child of the Gu family, he would definitely kill him.
After all, in that person's eyes, everyone can only be a pawn for him to get to the top.
