The Song family had Gu Qinglin, and the military had General Song Yu. One civil and one military, complemented each other. While Song Gudu had been living in seclusion behind the scenes for many years, the Song clan still maintained its transcendent status as the number one family of West Wind. The contributions of these two people were indispensable.
Li Muyang had schemed to ruin Song Yu's reputation, and even the reputation of the Song clan had been affected. In the end, Song Gudu had to kill him with his own hands. Then, the next goal was to get rid of Gu Qinglin.
In this way, the heroes of the Song clan would have no leader, and Song Gudu would have to personally deal with these trivial matters.
In that case, his high and mighty immortal identity would be greatly reduced, and his status would not be as stable as before. Then he would think of a way to expose this person's ugly face to the world, and kill him to avenge the Lu clan's blood feud.
Boss Mo's people had already found out that Gu Qinglin had a lover outside. For those high-ranking officials, they could directly marry any woman they like as a concubine. However, Gu Qinglin was not an ordinary official, and his wife was not an ordinary woman. It was more difficult for him to marry a little girl as his second wife than to marry the Princess — —
The fire was set by Li Muyang's people, and the city guards were able to rush over in time because Boss Mo's people were behind the scenes. Besides, even if the city guards did not rush over in time, or if the officials did not see Gu Qinglin and did not dare to acknowledge him — — Li Muyang also had other plans.
At that time, he would directly let the people he arranged to expose Gu Qinglin's identity in public. But in that case, the spy would most likely be quite dangerous.
Who would have thought that things would develop to such a stage?
The dozens of people in Yu garden, including the woman named Shu Huai, were all buried under the sword.
"Gongzi, this was not done by Hong Xiu." Seeing that Li Muyang was really enraged, Hong Xiu was calm and fearless. "Although we wholeheartedly want to avenge the Lu clan, we don't want to kill innocent people — — Most of the 32 people were nearby villagers, poor people who took care of the manor and crops for Gu Qinglin. It is said that there was also a pregnant woman who was also killed. How could we be so cruel to those innocent people? What's the difference between us and those murderous demons? What's the difference between them and Song Yuhong 'er? "
Li Muyang's line of sight shifted to Boss Mo, his sharp eyes sweeping up and down his face.
Boss Mo's heart sank, and all the hair on his body stood on end. Boss Mo was shocked. Although this young man usually looked gentle, quiet, and approachable, he was not an ordinary person after all. He was a unique existence that stirred up the empire … no, the entire Divine Land.
Didn't the Peacock Kingdom convene the Note of the Nine Nations because he had gifted the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Seal to the Peacock King to tempt his ambition?
Unlike Hong Xiu, Boss Mo and Li Muyang had known each other for a long time and had fought side by side with each other. Although he was also an old member of the Lu Clan, this was the first time he met this young master. Therefore, when Li Muyang questioned him, he was not as confident and fearless as Hong Xiu.
Under the gaze of Li Muyang, Boss Mo bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Young master, I am supported by the Lu Clan. Everything I say and do is for the Lu Clan. Without young master's order, Old Mo would never do such a heartless thing. "
Li Muyang's expression eased a little. "It's not that I don't trust you, I just feel that … it's not in line with my conscience to act like this. There are things that a gentleman should do and things that he should not do. I will not let any of the people of the Song Clan go. But for those poor people who just want to make a living and support their families, we don't need to take away their lives. This is the only thing they have. "
"Young master is kind." Boss Mo said respectfully.
Hong Xiu looked at Li Muyang's eyes and thought that he must not be kind … In the battle of Wind City, did he kill a few innocent people?
Perhaps he was not willing to kill innocent people now because he was afraid that he would be completely opposed to the human race in the future and would never be able to turn back?
"If it wasn't you, then who did it? Could it be that there is another force that has the same goal as us … also wants to get rid of Gu Qinglin? "Li Muyang asked with a puzzled look.
"We set the fire, and we also arranged the city guards in order to smear Gu Qinglin's reputation and let people know that he keeps a lover outside …" Hong Xiu said in a low voice. "Before we have the time to make our next move, someone has already acted for us. Now the thirty people in the Yu Garden are all dead, including the woman called Shu Huai … In this way, will there be people who suspect that Gu Qinglin killed them to silence them? "
"No matter what other people think, at least we have to guide them to think in this direction." Li Muyang said in a low voice. "No matter who killed them, the current situation is extremely advantageous to them. Let's spread the news in the marketplace that Gu Qinglin's keeping a mistress outside was known by the city guards. In order to silence them, and to prevent his fierce wife from getting angry, he took the initiative to kill that woman and the thirty-two people in the Yu Garden … Then we'll light a fire for Gu Qinglin. "
After a pause, Li Muyang gently sighed. "Gu Qinglin was originally a commoner, the reason he was able to climb to the top was mainly because of the support of the Song clan. If there was no Song clan behind him, with his identity and background, how could he be the opponent of the other families in Tiandu? In order not to upset the vinegar jar of the family, in order not to provoke the anger of the Song clan, he killed an insignificant woman — — Do you think the people of Tiandu will believe it? "
"Of course they will believe it." Hong Xiu said aloud. "The Song clan is now extremely powerful, Gu Qinglin has always had a good reputation in the scholarly world, and is deeply loved by the scholars of West Wind. Because he has a common background, those painstakingly studying students regard him as a role model — — If this matter were to spread out, I'm afraid Gu Qinglin would not be able to explain himself. "
"Gu Qinglin has suffered a double loss this time." Boss Mo also said with a smile. "If the matter that Xiaoxin of the Song clan smashed Qiongyu Building several times is spread out — — most likely the Song clan will also become the target of suspicion, right? The young lady of the Song Clan married a poor student, and the Song Clan pushed the poor scholar to the position of the Right Minister of the Empire step by step. Unexpectedly, after the scholar made his fortune, he betrayed the young lady of the Song Clan, kept concubines outside, and even had an illegitimate child … The young lady of the Song Clan was still not pregnant. What's the big deal about Miss Song killing a few people in a fit of anger? "
Li Muyang glanced at Boss Mo and said aloud, "Then I'll have to trouble Boss Mo."
Boss Mo understood, bowed and said, "I'll go deal with this matter."
With that, he hurriedly walked out.
Waiting until Boss Mo had gone far away, Hong Xiu asked aloud, "Gongzi does not believe Boss Mo?"
"It's not that I don't believe — —" Li Muyang said aloud, "When I returned to Tiandu this time, only you and Boss Mo knew about it. The plan to kill Gu Qinglin was also fully responsible for you and Boss Mo — — Don't you think it's strange? Every move we make, there's a feeling that we're being followed. When they find out that we've overlooked something, they will immediately kill us and push the matter to the side that's beneficial to us — — Between you and Boss Mo, I trust you more. If it's not you, Boss Mo will be the most disgusted. "
"I understand what Gongzi means." Hong Xiu said in a low voice, "Killing the 32 people of Yu Garden looks like someone is deliberately helping us do something we don't want to do — — But I believe Boss Mo won't do that kind of thing. At least, he won't do that kind of thing without Gongzi's permission. Since it's not me and Boss Mo, then who did it? This person knows our plan like the back of his hand, as if he's our conspirator — — Who is he? Why would he help us? "
"That's what I'm most worried about." Li Muyang sighed softly. "The Lu clan has collapsed, we're alone in Tiandu — — Moreover, I have the identity of a Dragon, the people of West Wind have a deep prejudice against me. The amount of power we can borrow is simply too little. Therefore, we must be careful with every step we take. We must not let anyone discover our whereabouts and our plans. Otherwise, not only will I be in danger, but you will also find it difficult to withdraw from Tiandu — — "
"I'm going to investigate this matter." Hong Xiu said aloud.
"It won't be easy to investigate. Since those people are not willing to show up, it will be too difficult for us to find them. Moreover, if we act in Tiandu, it's very easy to alert the enemy. Song Yu's death should have alerted the Song clan. They're waiting for us to make a mistake, waiting for us to give ourselves away. We must not let them get what they want. " Li Muyang said aloud. "Since that person is willing to help us, perhaps he's a friend and not an enemy — — We will not make any move for now, and the 'cutting the grass' plan will proceed as usual — — When we get rid of Gu Qinglin, those people will most likely help us?"
"I understand." Hong Xiu said with a smile. "Gongzi wants to lure the snake out of its hole."
"Just wait. Wait until the wind blows again, wait until the fire burns again — — See how the Song clan is going to extinguish the cold wind blowing to them and the wildfire burning to them. "
"These days, Tiandu must be very lively. I will pay attention to all kinds of gossip and rumours in the city. "
"Don't do it yourself, you'll draw the fire to yourself."
"I know, I'll be careful with Xiaoxin." Hong Xiu smiled sweetly. "Besides, I'm dressed like a busybody who wants the world to be in chaos? If I'm not interested in the matter of the Prime Minister killing his lover, I'm afraid other people will find it strange — — "
The two discussed the next plan for a while, and then Hong Xiu left.
Li Muyang looked at the Tiandu cherry blossoms planted in the garden, the tree trunks were already sprouting snow-white flower buds the size of rice grains. In a while, the first snow of Tiandu city would descend, and snow-white Tiandu cherry blossoms would bloom all over the capital?
Li Muyang's mood suddenly became a little sad.
In a few days, Cui Xiaoxin would become the bride of the Song clan. A woman wearing a phoenix crown and red wedding makeup must be extremely beautiful, right?
