When Zhao Quanzhi heard the ear-piercing voices coming from all directions, he felt his heart burn!
He didn't expect that he would end up like this. However, the crowd wasn't wrong. So what if he was the son of Governor Jiang Guang? So what if he had endless money? In everyone's eyes, he only relied on his identity as Li Shiyan's heir to be able to do whatever he wanted in Yan Jing City.
This was a fact that he already knew long ago. All the young masters in Yan Jing City also knew, but no one dared to say it out loud. However, now that the heir was in trouble, he was equivalent to a dog without a master. Naturally, he would be bullied and humiliated.
However, after hearing those words, how could he tolerate it?
In an instant, his sharp gaze swept across everyone. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. His hands were clenched tightly by his sides. It was as if in the next second, the murderous intent in his eyes would burst forth and poke everyone into a bloody mess.
When those young masters realized that his expression wasn't right, they were suddenly terrified!
Especially when they saw the murderous intent in Zhao Quanzhi's eyes, it really made their hearts tremble. Because, everyone stopped laughing and revealed a trace of fear. As the saying went, even if a tiger was locked in a cage, as long as it roared, it would still make people outside the cage afraid! And Zhao Quanzhi was that tiger. Even without Li Shiyan as his support, the aura that he had accumulated over the years was still there.
No matter how those people mocked him, they would still instinctively feel a sense of fear.
In an instant, the surrounding laughter stopped abruptly …
No one dared to speak anymore!
And at this moment, a voice came from outside. "What happened?" Looking over, he saw Huang Dali leading a few elite soldiers from the Supreme Court of Justice in. When he saw the manservants kneeling in the courtyard and the furious Zhao Quanzhi, Huang Dali's brows furrowed as he asked, "I just passed by here and heard some noise from inside.
What's wrong? Why are you all kneeling? " “
Seeing this, Zhao Quanzhi immediately retracted the murderous intent and viciousness in his eyes. Then, he told them everything that had happened. "I thought it was a big deal. Young Master Zhao, don't be too angry. They didn't do their job well. Just teach them a lesson. There's no need to make things worse. Now that Wang Huai's case is still under investigation, everyone in the villa is very cautious. Why don't you make it a small matter?
Don't add to our troubles. "Huang Dali's words sounded like persuasion, but in reality, it was a warning.
It was not that Zhao Quanzhi did not understand the stakes involved, it was just that the anger in his heart could not be vented.
However, since Huang Dali had come forward to speak, he still had to give him some face.
He waved his hand at the servants and said, "Forget it. Since Lord Huang has spoken, I will not pursue this matter any further. However, if there is a next time, I will not let you off so easily! You are dismissed. "
"Thank you, Young Master Zhao." The group of servants quickly got up and left.
The farce ended just like that!
The crowd dispersed one by one.
Just as Huang Dali was about to leave, Zhao Quanzhi stopped him with the reason that he was concerned about Li Shiyan. He asked, "Milord, this case … have you found any evidence? When would the heir be released? He absolutely would not kill anyone! "
Huang Dali looked at him up and down, then sighed and said in a deep voice, "We searched for the whole day yesterday, but it wasn't like we were left empty-handed. At least we found something in the rockery. However, we will only know after we thoroughly investigate it."
"What is it?" Zhao Quanzhi was exceptionally nervous.
"I can't say for now."
"If … we can prove that the heir is innocent, then that would be good."
"Alright, this official will take his leave first."
"I won't see you out!"
Zhao Quanzhi's gaze followed Huang Dali as he left. His expression became increasingly gloomy.
… …
Similarly, the sky had just brightened when a shrill scream rang out from Ji Yunshu's courtyard.
The birds on the tree were so frightened that they flapped their wings and flew away in fright!
There was no doubt that it was Qiu Shu again!
However, this time, she wasn't causing trouble. Instead, she was frightened.
When the young ladies in the courtyard heard the scream, they all rushed to her door to see what was going on.
They saw Qiu Shu anxiously pacing around the room with a black cat in her arms. Her tears were brimming with tears, but the black cat was motionless. Its body was limp as it lay in her arms, foaming at the mouth. Clearly, it was already dead.
Everyone knew that the black cat was called Little Guozi. Qiu Shu said that it was a pet bestowed to her by the empress, so she cherished it very much. Wherever she went, she liked to bring it with her and show it off to everyone she met.
Now that the black cat was like this, she was sad and angry at the same time.
The maidservant beside her was also anxious.
She wiped her tears and scolded, "Why haven't you called the doctor yet?"
"Yes, this servant will go immediately."
The maidservant hurriedly rushed out of the room to call for the doctor in the villa.
Several young ladies who were standing outside walked in and asked, "Big Sister Qiu Shu, what happened?"
She said, "Little Guozi was fine last night, but this morning, it became like this. It was given to me by big sister. If it died, how would I explain it to big sister?"
In that case, she didn't seem to have any feelings for this black cat. It was only because this cat was given to her by the empress.
The purple-clothed young lady covered her nose with a handkerchief and frowned, "Maybe this cat ate something bad. It should be fine. Big sister, don't worry."
Someone echoed and comforted her, "Yes, it will be fine. This cat is not an ordinary cat."
Everyone comforted her, but in fact, they were trying to curry favor. Soon, the doctor in the villa hurriedly came over. Logically speaking, he was a doctor and not a veterinarian, but when Miss Qiu called him over, he didn't dare to not come. As soon as he entered the room, Qiu Shu pulled him, "Doctor, quickly take a look.
What's wrong with my cat? It was fine last night, but I don't know what happened this morning. It suddenly foamed at the mouth and lay motionless on the ground. Its stomach is still moving, so it is definitely not dead. Quickly save it. "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The doctor asked her to put the cat on the table. He pressed his hand on the cat's stomach and it was indeed breathing.
But after a moment, the cat's body stiffened.
When Qiu Shu saw this, she became anxious. She gently stroked the black cat and shouted, "Little Guozi? Little Guozi? "
The doctor told her, "Miss Qiu, this cat is dead."
Ah!
At this moment, it was as if she had been struck by lightning.
She couldn't believe it. She hugged the black cat and cried her heart out.
"Why did this happen? It was clearly fine last night! "
The doctor dipped a piece of cloth into the white foam on the black cat's mouth and carefully studied it. He said, "This cat died because it was poisoned."
Poisoned?
Everyone present was shocked.
Because they were all young ladies of noble families, when they heard that the cat had been poisoned, they were all frightened.
Qiu Shu stopped crying and widened her eyes in disbelief, "What did you just say? What poisoned? You said that Little Guozi was poisoned? "
"That's right, it was poisoned by aconite. This poison is colorless and tasteless. If it is accidentally eaten, it will die within two days."
"Impossible, Little Guozi couldn't have been poisoned! I clearly paid attention to its diet. How could it be poisoned? "
"But this old man will not make a mistake. It was indeed poisoned by aconite."
Qiu Shu was stunned. She stood up and slapped her maid hard on the face, saying, "Was it you? Was it you who poisoned Little Guozi to death? "
The maidservant was suddenly slapped. Her body leaned to the side and she immediately knelt down and said, "Miss, it wasn't this servant. Even if you gave this servant more courage, this servant would never dare to do such a thing!"
"You've always been the one taking care of Little Guozi. If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Tell me, why did you poison Little Guozi to death? Tell me! "
"It wasn't this servant, it really wasn't this servant!" "You still dare to say it wasn't you?" Qiu Shu was so angry that she completely lost her reason. She raised her hand and slapped the maid again, "You lowly servant who doesn't know life from death. This miss raised you, provided for you to eat and wear, but you actually dared to do such a thing.
Today, I will beat you to death. "
The maid cried and shouted as she knelt on the ground to deny, "It really wasn't this servant, it really wasn't. Miss, this servant has followed you for so many years! How … How could I do such a thing? You have to believe this servant! "
"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
"It's …" The maid suddenly remembered. She covered her face and cried, "This servant knows who it was."
