I want to make progress

Chapter 119 Silencing
It was fine in the outer courtyard of Zheng's mansion, but as soon as I stepped into the inner courtyard, a strong smell of blood hit me in the air.

Just one glance and the yamen runners who rushed in first exclaimed in surprise.

The scene in the backyard also made Gu Changting, who was used to seeing life and death and even had been on the battlefield, feel frightened.

The people from the Liang Yi Sect hiding in the Zheng Mansion were very alert. Although they lived a very carefree life in the Zheng Mansion, they had not forgotten how they were being hunted outside the mansion.

When the person left at the gate found out that Gu Changting brought people to search, he immediately ran over to inform them.

The first thing those people from the Liangyi Sect did was to flee, but even though they fled, they actually left a few people behind to massacre the masters of the Zheng family and the servants who served them, and burned down Lord Zheng's study, eliminating the possibility of them finding any clues.

This was not enough. Perhaps they knew that they were left behind and abandoned with no way to survive. After killing those who might have left clues, they still did not stop the massacre. They killed anyone they saw. They probably wanted to go crazy one last time. The entire Zheng Mansion was turned into a slaughterhouse by them.

"Crazy...madman!"

"Beast! Beast!"

The scene was so bloody and cruel that many of the yamen runners who rushed in could not help but vomit on the spot, and those who did not lose their composure did not look much better.

"Catch them! Don't let any of them go!"

Gu Changting frowned and immediately ordered an arrest. Their arrival stopped the massacre. Although these people were too cruel to deserve to live in this world, in order to capture the other remnants of the Liangyi Sect, they had to be captured alive.

But these people were really crazy. When they saw them, they didn't run away or get scared. Their eyes were red and their bodies were covered in blood. They held long knives dripping with blood in their hands and wiped their necks with crazy laughter.

"Stop them quickly!"

Seeing this, Gu Changting's face changed drastically. He wanted to stop them, but he was not faster than them. He could only watch these demons die so easily without leaving them any clues.

Everyone's faces looked ugly. After seeing this scene, there were only two words in everyone's mind: crazy!
To do such a massacre can only be described as insane, but in the end he laughed and slit his own neck. He looked calm and without hesitation, not like going to die, but more like going to a banquet. It was extremely weird and crazy. Who in their right mind would do this!
In the end, Gu Changting and his group came with great fanfare, but they didn't catch anybody alive. They all escaped through the tunnels they dug, and even the Zheng family was almost completely massacred.

The only consolation was probably that those servants of the Yin-Yang Sect who had not been slaughtered were saved. Anyway, no clues about the Yin-Yang Sect were found, and even the servants who had seen those people were gone. It could be said that there was no gain from this expedition.

However, for the Liangyi Sect, the danger was elevated to a higher level in Gu Changting's mind.

With the court's vigorous crackdown, the Liangyi Sect seemed to have been eliminated like a virus, and disappeared instantly in the capital. It was unknown whether it was truly completely wiped out, or the danger was too great and it temporarily lay dormant.

But these are not the focus now, the focus is the Autumn Examination!
Even if something terrible happened, even if Jiuchonglou had a narrow escape, no matter if the examinees had not recovered yet, no matter if they were frightened and sick, the Autumn Examination would still be held as usual. On the day of the Autumn Examination, the whole capital was no longer in a mess, and everything became orderly.

Because of the incident at Jiuchonglou, the autumn examination had been on high alert in previous years, but this year the entire street where the examination hall was located was blocked off and no one could get close.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Autumn Examination, the emperor ordered Gu Changting to be responsible for the safety of the examination room. Gu Changting then stayed in the examination room and took charge personally. Although the Liangyi Sect had disappeared, who knew what else they would do as they were so crazy.

However, what was surprising was that the Liangyi Sect, which was so crazy before the Autumn Examination, did not do anything during the Autumn Examination. The entire Autumn Examination was incredibly smooth and peaceful.

It seems that this purge really wiped out all the crazy people in the Liang Yi Sect, but everyone who knows about it knows that they have not even touched the core figures of the Liang Yi Sect. They are just hiding in dark corners. Maybe one day they will suddenly jump out and bite Darong hard.

Originally, this Autumn Examination had nothing to do with her, but Gu Changting did not go home because of the Autumn Examination, and the Third Master in the mansion was worried about it all day long because of the academy, and he sent people to watch the examination room three times a day.

Even Annan and Su Niang were so busy with the Autumn Examination that she was left alone. It was really boring and she couldn't even find anyone to talk to.

The doctor told her to rest well and relax, and she really intended to do so. After all, she had killed Meng Xichen, which could be considered a huge victory. Moreover, she would need some time to heal the aftereffects of the murder.

After resting for a few days, Shu Yunfu felt too bored, so she decided to find something to entertain herself.

She hasn't forgotten that Gu Changheng, that bastard, wants to take a concubine, so she has to pay more attention to the situation on Gu Yutong's side and can't mess things up.

Yuyan also knew that her young lady was not someone who could sit idle. She just wanted to find out the news about the Second Master and Gu Yutong. This was not a very strenuous task, and no one would try to stop her. She just watched the fun.

However, the news she finally got made Shu Yunfu a little disappointed. There were no surprises on Gu Yutong's side, and everything developed as she planned.

No! It should be said that Gu Yutong played beyond her capacity and played Gu Changheng, the bastard, in the palm of her hand. The reason why Gu Changheng wanted to take her as a concubine was entirely his own idea, and Gu Yutong didn't know this.

She knew very well that men were mean and that what they couldn't get was the best. She also remembered Shu Yunfu's words firmly. Even if she wanted to become Gu Changheng's concubine, she had to make him get it despite all the difficulties.

However, Shu Yunfu and Gu Yutong had not expected that someone so obsessed with Su Wanzhi would be so easily hooked. Although Gu Yutong was specially set up for his personality, it was too easy for him to succeed, so easy that they could hardly believe it.

But perhaps it was the existence of Shu Yunfu that broke the bottom line. Having one more concubine was no big deal. With this idea in mind, Gu Changheng was so easily seduced by Gu Yutong.

However, Shu Yunfu's purpose was nothing else but to make Gu Yutong seduce him so that he would not be on the same side with Su Wanzhi.
