The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 64 Revenge...Liu Sandao surrenders to Gu Jingzhi!

Gu Jingzhi held Old Huang in his arms as they walked along the deserted street...

He walked aimlessly... and soon he arrived home. He walked into his house and saw Qu Feiyan standing at the door.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi covered in blood, holding the bloody Old Huang, her expression changed: "What, what happened? Old Huang..."

Gu Jingzhi glanced at her, his eyes indifferent and without a trace of emotion. Even Qu Feiyan, an internal guard, couldn't help but shut her mouth.

Gu Jingzhi slowly walked towards the house, and Qu Feiyan just stared at him blankly.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "Please do me a favor. Ask Liu Sandao, the head of the Internal Guard and Prison Department, to come to me!"

After saying that, he walked straight into the house.

Qu Feiyan opened her mouth.

Although Gu Jingzhi said that he was helping, there was an unquestionable tone in his voice, which seemed even more terrifying than when she faced Jin Lehuang.

Looking at Gu Jingzhi's back, she sighed softly and turned to walk out.

Gu Jingzhi entered the room, put Lao Huang on the bed, and sat quietly beside him, looking at Lao Huang.

No words, no tears...

But the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he heard footsteps beside his ears.

Qu Feiyan brought Liu Sandao in, followed by two jailers from the Internal Security Prison.

"grown ups……"

As soon as he entered the room, Liu Sandao smelled a strong smell of blood. Thinking that something had happened to Gu Jingzhi, he shouted out with concern.

Gu Jingzhi turned around and said, "Please, Mr. Liu, please help me take a look at my old Huang..."

"My lord, please wait a moment..."

Liu Sandao responded, then gestured to the two people behind him. The two immediately took the wooden box. Seeing this, Qu Feiyan turned around and left silently.

Liu Sandao walked up to Lao Huang and frowned slightly as he looked at the bloody body.

The other two also started to get busy, leaving Gu Jingyi sitting aside with a calm face.

After about an incense stick of time, Liu Sandao walked up to Gu Jingzhi and said, "Sir..."

"it's over?"

"Ok!"

Liu Sandao was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Sir, I would like to ask you, sir, what is the relationship between this person and you..."

"He is an old servant in my house..."

"Old servant?"

Liu Sandao frowned, as if he was a little confused. He looked at Gu Jingzhi and said, "This old servant of yours was subjected to extremely cruel torture during his lifetime..."

"His legs were forcibly broken, and his fingers were also snapped one by one... His body was covered in knife wounds, whip marks, and even burns... over thirty different wounds, large and small... He died of torture!"

"Crack!"

Gu Jingzhi's hands on the armrest of the chair suddenly tightened, and the wooden armrest was broken by him, but there was still no expression on his face.

He glanced at Liu Sandao and asked, "Anything else?"

"Anyone who uses this kind of torture is always trying to extract some information from the victim! But as your Excellency said, he's just an old servant. What secrets could he possibly be hiding? The point is, your Excellency's servant had his fingers severed and his tongue ripped out..."

"In situations like this, either the torturer has already gotten the answer they wanted! Or..."

Liu Sandao hesitated.

Gu Jingzhi raised his eyelids and asked, "What is it?"

"Vent your anger..."

Liu Sandao uttered two words and then looked at Gu Jingzhi: "In my opinion, the latter is more likely..."

"Vent your anger..."

Gu Jingzhi kept repeating these two words.

Thinking of Song Pu, the Gu family, and even the diplomatic corps of the two countries, he closed his eyes...

"Sir, please think back and see who you have offended recently!"

Liu Sandao gave a silent reminder.

He and Gu Jingzhi had known each other for a very short time, and he had gotten to know Gu Jingzhi briefly over the past two days. He didn't think that Gu Jingzhi could be hiding any secrets, so there was only one answer... he had offended someone!

This situation is not uncommon in the capital, and some princes and nobles with violent tempers like this very much.

In his opinion, the reason these people attacked Lao Huang was probably to warn Gu Jingzhi.

Gu Jingzhi nodded silently: "I'm sorry to bother you today, Brother Liu. When things at home are over, I'll treat you to a drink! Today..."

"Since you have something important to do, I will not bother you any more!" Liu Sandao was very tactful. He understood the meaning of Gu Jingzhi's words and was about to say goodbye.

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said softly: "No need to see you off!"

The three of them bowed to Gu Jingzhi, then took their things and left!

After the people left, Gu Jingzhi threw the broken wooden handrail in his hand, wiped his eyes, and fetched hot water from outside the door, and helped Lao Huang clean up without saying a word.

When everything is in place, looking at the peaceful old Huang...

"When you get down there, tell my mother I'm fine! And... you've taken good care of me over the past twenty years..."

……

After a sleepless night, Gu Jingzhi was ready to go out early the next morning.

But before he could get up, he saw Liu Sandao and a few others bringing some funeral supplies and a coffin.

"Brother Liu..."

"Thinking that you might not be free, I took the initiative to prepare some things for you. I hope you don't mind!" Liu Sandao walked up to Gu Jingzhi and said silently.

Gu Jingzhi looked at the tools and bowed to Liu Sandao and the others: "Thank you all, brothers!"

"My Lord, you are too polite..."

Liu Sandao hurriedly supported Gu Jingzhi, then said to the others: "Brothers, please help us make some arrangements today..."

As he said that, he went to help.

With the help of Liu Sandao, Gu Jingzhi subdued Lao Huang, and then the white sails inside and outside the courtyard were also hung up.

He silently lit a stick of incense for Old Huang and looked at Liu Sandao beside him: "Gu has an unwelcome request..."

He was halfway through his words when he saw Liu Sandao take out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi took it and looked at it, then immediately looked up at Liu Sandao.

Liu Sandao said silently, "When I returned yesterday, I thought that Your Excellency might be able to use this, so I immediately contacted my colleagues to assist me in this matter!"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Brother Liu, why are you like this?"

"Your Excellency has an important mission, and the Inner Guard will fully cooperate. This is the order of Lord Tianshu!"

"This is just Gu's personal matter..."

"Such a heinous crime has occurred in the capital, and the Inner Guard has the right to rule!"

"Gu is only a sixth-rank official. Brother Liu, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm just a humble official, I don't think anyone takes me seriously, besides..."

He smiled and said, "I'm very strict in my work. It's all done personally by a few of my trusted brothers!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded silently, then looked up at Liu Sandao: "Brother Liu, have you ever thought that even with all your efforts, you may not get what you want from me?"

"I haven't thought about getting anything from you, sir!" Liu Sandao said with a carefree smile, "It's just that we've lived in the gutter for so long that others treat us like bugs, but you, sir, treat us like human beings..."

Gu Jingzhi looked at Liu Sandao silently, and Liu Sandao looked into Gu Jingzhi's eyes without flinching.

A good while.

Gu Jingzhi raised the paper in his hand and said, "No matter whether what is written here is true or false, I will not let Brother Liu down for helping me today!"

Liu Sandao smiled casually: "If you want to thank me, just treat us brothers to a drink!"
