PS: Thank you Yun Feng, Mo Liang, Feng Lan, these two tycoons for their gifts, and thank you Star Plucking monthly tickets ~
The person on the stretcher was Gu Tingwei. As he spoke, his complexion was extremely ugly, as if he was terminally ill. After he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
The guests below all stood up. On the spot, someone sneered and said, "He actually took something from the Gu Family as a birthday gift. This new master of the two roads in Jiangbei is really easy to calculate."
"Old Four!" Gu Tingkun cried out in sorrow. He ran over to support the stretcher. He took out a handkerchief that he had prepared earlier to wipe the blood. "I told you before that Xiao Wei has her own ideas. She doesn't want you to help her patrol the manor. But you didn't listen. This patrol, something bad happened. Why bother!"
"What's going on?" Gu Yuehuang stood up.
"Great-grandmother," Gu Caiwei hurriedly said, "It's not like this. Little slut … Yan Li would never do such a thing. I know the origin of the Galaxy God Sand!"
Gu Yuehuang glanced at Gu Caiwei and said, "Don't be deceived. This Seat has heard a lot about him. He has a lot of romantic debts. Do you still remember why your mother gave birth prematurely? It was because that heartless man stole the Guangwei Scripture and disappeared. She was angry and gave birth to you early, causing you to be congenitally deficient. That's why that kind of thing happened!"
"No, Great-grandmother, please listen to my explanation …"
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. This Seat will investigate clearly. I will not wrongly accuse anyone. If …" Gu Yuehuang's eyes were sharp. "As Tingwei said, this Seat will not forgive him!"
Yan Li had heard clearly that it was the Guangwei Scripture that he had been longing for. He had searched thousands of places for no information. He didn't expect it to be in the Phoenix Hall. This Hall Master Gu was also surnamed Gu. Could it be that he was that noble person?
"Tingkun, aren't you going to tell me in detail?"
"Great-grandmother, it's like this," Gu Tingkun sighed and said, "Some time ago, Fourth Sister accidentally heard Lady Shuang He say that the Southern Fields Estate was becoming more and more difficult to manage. The servants and stewards were all in cahoots with each other, pretending to obey her but secretly opposing her. Every time, she would have to make a trip over to rectify the situation. When Fourth Sister heard this, she thought that the Southern Fields Estate was the only thing Second Sister left for Little Wei, so she made the decision to patrol the estate on Lady Shuang He's behalf."
Gu Yuehuang coldly looked at Luo Shuang He.
Luo Shuanghe's complexion was deathly pale. She knelt down with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "I … I only complained once, but I never complained that I was tired. I didn't even ask Fourth Master to patrol the manor on my behalf. Hall Master, please investigate!"
"Continue." Gu Yuehuang said to Gu Tingkun.
Gu Tingkun said, "Fourth Sister had been gone for a long time. The servants were all well-behaved and wanted to rush back before grandmother's birthday. Unexpectedly, Little Wei's friend, Yan Shifang, arrived and said that Fourth Sister had colluded with bandits to rob Little Wei's manor. Not only did he drive out the newly recruited servants, he also wanted to drive Fourth Sister away. Fourth Sister and Second Sister were best friends. How could he watch Southern Fields Estate fall into the hands of outsiders? He refused to obey and was injured to this extent. When he was carried back, he only had one breath left. If it wasn't for Dragon Elephant Mountain's Doctor Su's superb medical skills, he would have already died. "
"I didn't know Tingwei was injured?" Gu Yuehuang was furious.
"Great-grandmother, please understand." Gu Tingkun said sorrowfully, "Before Fourth Sister fainted, she grabbed my hand and told me not to tell you, otherwise it would ruin the birthday.
"What's the matter with the Star River God Sand?"
Gu Tingkun said, "That was something Fourth Brother obtained by accident a few years ago. He originally wanted to give it to Grandmother as a birthday gift so that our Hall of Phoenix could forge an immortal artifact and consolidate our position in the Southern Phoenix Realm."
"What kind of divine object is the Star River God Sand? How could it be obtained accidentally?" Gu Yuehuang said.
"You have to ask Fourth Brother." Gu Tingkun said to Gu Tingwei with concern, "Fourth Sister, can you still speak? Quickly tell grandmother where the Star River God Sand came from."
Gu Tingwei gasped for breath and said, "Last year, grandson saved a woman who was being humiliated. She said she had lost her chastity and had no face to live in this world. Her husband's family was killed by enemies and she was a weak woman without the strength to truss a chicken. She couldn't take revenge and died with grievances. She took out the Star River God Sand and said it was an ancestral treasure and asked me for help! Grandson helped her fulfill her wish and obtained this treasure. Because it was precious and I wanted to give grandmother a surprise, I didn't tell anyone … "
From what he said, the woman was already dead. There was no evidence.
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Caiwei knew that Yan Li had risked his life to obtain the Star River God Sand. She anxiously said to Gu Yuehuang, "Great Grandmother, no one knows the origin of the Star River God Sand better than me. You must not listen to this side of the story!"
Gu Yuehuang thought for a moment and said to Yan Li, "This King is not exclusive, what do you have to say?"
Yan Li turned around and walked towards Gu Tingwei on the stretcher.
"You, what do you want to do?" Gu Tingwei still remembered the pain of having her finger cut off.
Yan Li did not walk too close. Seeing Gu Tingkun about to stop him, he stopped, not giving the other party a chance to act up. He pondered and said, "I have a question to ask Fourth Master. Do you know what the Star River God Sand looks like? Do you know what time of day it is the brightest? Do you know what time of day it will absorb the light of the sun and moon? Do you know that if it is touched by someone, it will heat up and protect itself? "
"Wh, what …" Gu Tingwei was stunned by the question.
Gu Tingkun saw that the situation was not good and quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Ever since my Fourth Brother obtained this treasure, he was afraid that it would be leaked, so he kept it safe. How would he dare to take it out and look at it? What you said can be found in books, but it doesn't prove anything. "
"Oh?" Yan Li laughed, "If that's the case, how would I know that Fourth Master has the Star River God Sand?"
Gu Tingwei shouted, "I took it out to play that day and you saw it!"
Yan Li smiled and said, "Fourth Master is heavily injured. His voice is even louder than when I invited him earlier. If I had known earlier, I would have invited you."
"Cough cough …" Gu Tingwei's complexion changed, he lay down and coughed again.
Gu Tingkun secretly cursed him for being a pig and said in a stern voice, "Yan Li, since you dared to injure my Fourth Brother, why don't you openly admit it? You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it, are you worthy to be my Xiaowei's friend? Don't think that I don't know why you got close to her, it's because of her beauty as the second most beautiful woman on the List of Beauties. "He knew that this was what his grandmother cared about the most.
As expected, Gu Yuehuang immediately spoke, "Yan Shifang, other than this, do you have anything else to say?"
Yan Li said, "If you want to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext. Hall Master Gu, this Nantian Manor was taken back by this junior from the Golden Hook Bandits. At that time, I even sent one of them to the county office. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to verify it. "
Gu Tingkun smiled coldly and said, "Well said, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. That county magistrate is having a banquet, why don't you call him up to verify it."
Gu Yuehuang directly decided, "Invite him up."
Yan Li couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Listening to this, it seemed that this was already prepared.
Not long after, the person was called up. It was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He didn't look at Yan Li, but greeted Gu Yuehuang and stood respectfully to the side.
Gu Yuehuang said, "May I ask Lord, were there any Golden Hook Bandits that day?"
The middle-aged man carefully looked at Yan Li, lowered his head, and hesitantly said, "This, perhaps."
"What do you mean by perhaps? Just say it, with this seat here, no one can threaten you. "Gu Yuehuang said.
"With Hall Master's guarantee, this lowly official is much more at ease." The middle-aged man trembled as he walked away, only stopping a few steps away from Yan Li, and then said, "That day, this little Lord Yan suddenly came to visit, caught an idle helper, and wanted this lowly official to identify him as a Golden Hook Bandit, and also wanted to spread the news that Swallow Dock had taken back Nantian Manor from the Golden Hook Bandits … This, if this lowly official didn't agree, the lives of my entire family would be in danger, it's really …" As he said this, he walked further away, as if he was afraid that Yan Li would suddenly kill him.
Luo Shuanghe was stunned. She had been peaceful in Phoenix Hall for too long. Who would have thought that there was such a method of inverting right and wrong in this world? It actually calculated everything for Yan Li step by step, making it impossible for him to defend himself. If the Hall Master was angry because of this, it would all be the result of her own stubbornness.
She must not implicate innocent people for the sake of Second Young Lady.
Thinking of this, she knelt down beside Gu Yuehuang, "Hall Master, this matter is all this lowly servant's fault!"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Gu Yuehuang said coldly.
Luo Shuanghe prostrated on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "It was this lowly servant who asked Young Master Yan to rob the manor!"
"You dare to plot against Weiwei's manor?" Gu Yuehuang said in disbelief.
"No, this lowly servant would never dare!" Luo Shuanghe gritted her teeth and said, "This lowly servant's life was saved by Hall Master, and I have long vowed to serve Hall Master for the rest of my life, and will never betray him."
"Then you," Gu Yuehuang was so angry that her face turned pale, "Then how did you cover up for him? What good words did he say to you? Not only you, but also Weiwei defended him like this. Do you want me to die of anger before I stop? "
"No, this lowly servant …"
"Come, take Yan Shifang down for me!"
"Great-grandmother, you can't …"
"Weiwei, if you have anything to say, wait until we catch him!"
Gu Tingkun was overjoyed. He suddenly mobilized his zhenqi and grabbed at Yan Li.
"How unfortunate."
An immeasurable amount of purple saber light suddenly exploded from a direction, turning into countless fine purple threads that intertwined and shone under the stage. In the sky above the stage, right under Gu Yuehuang's eyes, they condensed into an inverted purple flower, suppressing everyone present.
Yan Shiyi appeared out of nowhere, the Purple Night Saber on Gu Tingkun's neck.
Gu Tingkun's whole body froze, and he didn't dare to move.
"Yan Shiyi, what are you doing?" Gu Yuehuang was surprised at first, and then she frowned, "You offended Hall of Phoenix in the past, and I didn't hold it against you. Now you want to stand against me?"
"Yan Shiyi, don't be rude to Hall Master!" Gu Qingyou's expression changed slightly.
Yan Shiyi said lightly, "I came to Jambu Kingdom only to receive one favor, and that is Hall Master. I will naturally remember that. Since Hall of Phoenix does not welcome Swallow Dock, I will take Ah Li away. If you need help in the future, I will not refuse. But if anyone dares to touch Ah Li, I will exchange my life for one, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand of you … "
He raised his head and looked straight at Gu Yuehuang, "So what if it's a hundred thousand?"
