Yan Shiyi was in no rush to go to Phoenix Hall. Instead, he immediately went to Southern Field Manor and found Gu Qingyou there. She seemed a little thinner, but she was otherwise very calm. Her attitude towards Yan Shiyi was as lukewarm as ever.
"What are you doing here?"
The nanny leading the way tactfully withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the tea garden.
"How unsightly. Do I even need to explain my purpose in coming here? Use that stupid brain of yours and you'll get the answer, "Yan Shiyi said in displeasure.
Gu Qingyou coldly said, "The matters of Phoenix Hall do not need outsiders interfering!"
Yan Shiyi said, "Truly unfortunate. Once I've decided to interfere, no one in the world can stop me. But before that, I need to know the cause of the Hall Master's death. With her cultivation at the second level of the Divine Domain, who could poison her? "
"Gu Tingkun, Gu Tingyu, Gu Tingwei, Gu Yunshang, Gu Yuncai …" Gu Qingyou reported a string of names.
The bewitching laughter reverberated in the tea garden.
Gu Qingyou clenched her teeth. "All of this was premeditated! They held a grudge against the Hall Master for her punishment and secretly colluded with the Dragon Emperor! In consideration of the fact that they were all direct descendants, the Hall Master first transferred Gu Tingkun out of the Hall of Mortal Truth and made him an inspector. In the last six years, he schemed and schemed, rising step by step and then reuniting these people. Some time ago, the Hall Master was in a good mood and held a family banquet. Gu Yuncai and Gu Yunshang's husband's families were also invited. The poison was given by Gu Yuncai, and the Hall Master was usually very careful when she ate, but one day in a good mood … Gu Tingkun was the one who provided the poison. They cruelly watched as the Hall Master drank the poison and then died in pain … "As she recounted the tragedy, it was no different from reliving that pain. She seemed to be surrounded by darkness and cold despair as she painfully squatted down.
"What kind of end do you want for them?" Yan Shiyi took off his outer robe and draped it over Gu Qingyou.
Gu Qingyou trembled for a few moments, then suddenly raised her head, her beautiful face covered in malice. "I want to give them a taste of their own medicine!"
"Miss, I've found the poison!" Luo Shuanghe strode in from outside, bowed to Yan Shiyi, and then handed a Qiankun Bag to Gu Qingyou. "I've investigated. It's the Yellow Springs Scorpion's poison, and it's specially made to be colorless and odorless.
。” Her tone was light, but it carried a chill from the Nine Serenities. "I've prepared a jar for each of them, and each jar contains seven taels. I've even prepared the paper for the first seven to burn."
"You two are in charge of tying them up. I'm better at killing." Yan Shiyi said.
On the night of the full moon, even though killing was a waste of this beautiful mood, to Yan Shiyi, the moment the blood blossomed was as beautiful as the setting sun. On this night, he couldn't remember how many people he had killed. There were reinforcements sent by the Dragon Monarch Imperial Court, and there were also traitorous disciples of Phoenix Hall. He couldn't remember the appearance of every single one of them, but every single drop of blood was engraved in his mind like a brand.
Gu Tingkun and the other direct descendants, as well as those who had participated in the plot to murder Gu Yuehuang, were all tied up by the enraged Gu Qingyou. The location was the Phoenix Platform where Gu Yuehuang's birthday banquet was held. Each of them was tied up with a tree trunk. The tree trunk was cut into a square shape and laid flat on the ground, just like a coffin for their corpses. The one responsible for tying them up was Luo Shuanghe.
"Shuanghe, I've never mistreated you before. Let me go, I'll give you money, a lot of money. I can also give you men, many, many men …" Gu Yuncai, who was responsible for the poison, was scared out of her wits. She knew that she wouldn't be able to escape death, but she still held onto a last shred of hope as she pleaded.
"This traitorous bitch, I won't beg her!" Gu Tingwei shouted like a crazed demon. But no matter how much strength he used, he couldn't break free from the ropes binding him. He was the most hated person in Gu Yuehuang's heart. So no matter how hard Gu Tingkun tried, he was still forced to work in the mines for five years. In these five years, he had gone from a high and lofty Young Master of Phoenix Hall to a lowly servant that everyone could bully. This massive change had left his mental state in a state of insanity.
"Qingyou, I am your uncle. Even if you don't care about our blood relationship, can't you think about my dead second sister? Do you think your mother would want us to kill each other? " Gu Tingkun was still very calm. From the moment he discovered that several of his brothers couldn't defeat Gu Qingyou even if they joined forces, he knew that he had to use some other method, otherwise he would undoubtedly die today. When Gu Qingyou was forced back by the masters sent by the Dragon Sovereign, he didn't think much of it. But now that he truly fought with her, he discovered that his niece actually possessed such strength.
A disciple brought a chair over for Gu Qingyou to sit down. She didn't seem excited nor did she seem crazy. It was just that no matter how the people in front of her begged for mercy, she remained unmoved. This sort of calmness was even more chilling.
And chilling.
Luo Shuanghe finished preparing everything. She looked at Gu Qingyou and waited for him to say, "Begin." She immediately signaled two Phoenix Hall disciples with her eyes and said, "Gu Yuncai, you have poisoned the Hall Master. This is an unforgivable crime. You will be given seven taels of the Yellow Springs to send you on your way."
"No!" Gu Yuncai cried out in alarm. Her husband and child also cried out, but it was all to no avail. Her mouth was forcefully opened by a funnel. Then, a jar of Yellow Springs Scorpion poison that had been prepared beforehand was taken out and forced down her throat.
A single drop of this poison was enough to take a person's life. After seven taels entered her stomach, it only took a few breaths of time for Gu Yuncai's entire stomach to be corroded by the poison. His rotten flesh was still hissing as he died an incomparably miserable death.
"Gu Qingyou, you are too vicious!" Gu Tingyu finally awoke from his reverie. He thought that no matter how excessive Gu Qingyou was, she wouldn't go so far as to take their lives. At this time, a fine layer of cold sweat covered his pale face.
"I'm vicious? How can I compare to you? "Gu Qingyou shouted harshly." Continue the torture. Don't stop without my order! "
Luo Shuanghe immediately shouted, "Gu Tingkun, we already have evidence that you bought medicine from the Poison King. In order to make the Yellow Springs Scorpion's poison colorless and odorless, it needs to be refined by water, fire, and wind for more than 900 days. The Poison King has already confessed that you were the one who ordered the poison from him four years ago! Your crimes are unforgivable! "
"Wait a moment, I have something to say!" Gu Tingkun hurriedly shouted. However, no one listened to him because Gu Qingyou didn't stop him. He was also forced to drink seven taels of poison. His intestines were pierced through and he died.
"Gu Tingyu, you acted as a middleman and colluded with the Dragon Monarch's Imperial Court. You betrayed the Hall of Phoenix. Your crimes are unforgivable. I will bestow seven taels of Yellow Springs to send you on your way!"
"Gu Tingwei …"
"Gu Yunshang …"
"Gu Xiaoqing …"
All the participants had 'unforgivable crimes'. Without exception, they were forced to drink seven taels of poison.
Gu Qingyou looked at the dozens of tattered corpses and finally began to weep bitterly.
"Send the troops," Yan Shiyi suddenly said. Gu Qingyou looked at him, and he said calmly, "Lihen Heaven has sent out a crusade, inviting all the feudal vassals to send troops against the Dragon Monarch. This is a great opportunity for revenge."
