After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 544 She is a Merchant Orphan
Emperor Liang was a little tired, and this was a good time to take out the poisonous insect.

The Miao King followed him shamelessly.

Half a minute later, he was grabbed by the arms by two strong and fat maids and dragged out of Bixia Palace.

Miao King: ...Dog Emperor! I will come back——
-
Gongsun Yanming took a carriage back to Qianji Pavilion.

After Xiao Chen was beaten by King Miao, he was unconscious all the way.

Gongsun Yanming did not go through the main gate, but went around to the west gate and entered the mansion from there.

"Big brother!"

Gongsun Yu stepped forward quickly. He had been waiting here for a long time. "I heard that Chen'er got into trouble..."

He had just said half of his words when he caught a glimpse of his brother's injured left hand.

He was shocked and worried: "Brother, your hand..."

"Carry the man in."

Gongsun Yanming ordered.

"Lift..." Gongsun Yu looked behind Gongsun Yanming and lifted the curtain suspiciously.

Seeing the unrecognizable Xiao Chen, he almost didn't dare to recognize him, "Brother! Who hurt Chen'er like this?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "Miao King."

Gongsun Yu was stunned: "W-what?"

"Get someone to take a look at him."

After Gongsun Yanming finished speaking, he walked away.

Gongsun Yu looked at Xiao Chen and gasped, "Who hit him so hard... Someone, carry the young master back to the courtyard, and then go and ask Elder You to come."

After settling Xiao Chen, he caught up with Gongsun Yanming, and the two walked towards Mingxin Hall together.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

His expression was very solemn.

Gongsun Yanming said calmly: "Let's talk about it another day."

Gongsun Yu hesitated to speak.

As soon as Gongsun Yanming entered Mingxin Hall, he noticed something strange.

Not only were the big red lanterns with the word "happiness" on them taken down, but even the servants who were serving them were all gone.

Mingxin Hall was deserted.

Then he saw footprints spreading from the front yard to the entrance of the passage.

He walked down the passage.

Every stone door was open, as if waiting for him.

He went to the yard at the end suspiciously.

He came to the door of the room where the ice bed was placed.

Xiao Ronger sat in front of the ice bed with her back to him. She didn't look back, but said in a hoarse voice, "You're finally back."

After Gongsun Yanming entered the room, he saw Gongsun Ziyu lying on the icy bed.

She was wearing a wedding dress stained with blood, with an arrow stuck in her chest, and she was already dead.

At this time, Gongsun Yu came to the door.

He said with a complicated expression: "Brother, Ziyu is gone. What I wanted to tell you just now... is this."

Gongsun Yanming frowned and clenched his hands into fists.

Xiao Ronger's face turned pale and she laughed sarcastically, "So you didn't want to listen to what the second brother told you about Zi Yu."

Gongsun Yanming asked: "What exactly is going on?"

Xiao Ronger raised her hand, wiped away the tears that rolled down her cheeks, and smiled with a broken heart: "You ask me what's going on?"

She stood up, turned around and said fiercely, "We have been married for many years, and I gave birth to two children for you, but you colluded with an outsider to kill your own daughter! Gongsun Yanming, you are worthy of me!"

Gongsun Yanming looked at her straight in the eyes: "Did you go to kill Yan Xiaojiu?"

Xiao Ronger smiled and said, "Yes! I went to kill her! If you hadn't betrayed me and replaced her with Ziyu, Ziyu wouldn't have died..." Her smile faded, and she pointed at Gongsun Yanming with pain and hatred, "It was you who killed Ziyu! Give my daughter back to me! Give my daughter back to me!"

Gongsun Yu was terrified, and he quickly walked into the house and stopped Xiao Rong'er who was about to draw her sword against Gongsun Yanming, "Sister-in-law, let's talk it over! Put down your sword first!"

Xiao Ronger broke down and cried: "I can put down my sword, but can I get my purple jade back?"

Gongsun Yu advised: "Sister-in-law...brother doesn't want this either...why would you harm your own flesh and blood?"

Xiao Ronger turned around and scolded him: "You mean I killed Ziyu?"

Gongsun Yu waved his hands hurriedly: "No, sister-in-law... I didn't mean that..."

Xiao Ronger said sarcastically, "After all, your last name is Gongsun. If something goes wrong, you will only side with your elder brother! I had planned everything!"

Gongsun Yanming looked at the arrow in Gongsun Ziyu's heart and asked, "Did you shoot this arrow?"

His words were like a cold arrow, hitting Xiao Ronger right between her eyebrows.

Xiao Ronger froze instantly.

In a moment, she lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

Gongsun Yu looked at her worriedly, then looked at his elder brother, held his forehead weakly and turned around.

He wiped his red eyes and said to Gongsun Yanming, "Uncle Xiao is waiting for you in Tianshou Pavilion."

Gongsun Yanming met Xiao Mubai, who was dressed in black, in Tianshou Pavilion.

"father in law."

He bowed and saluted.

Although Xiao Mubai is nearly 70 years old, he is still in good health.

However, the unfortunate death of his granddaughter dealt a heavy blow to this elderly man.

He put his hands behind his back and looked quietly at the scenery outside the window.

"Did Liuying's wedding go smoothly?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "The ceremony is complete."

Xiao Mubai turned around slowly and looked at him seriously: "I don't want you to blame Rong'er for Ziyu's matter."

Gongsun Yan said clearly: "I understand."

Xiao Mubai asked: "What's the girl's name?"

Gongsun Yanming said calmly, "Yan Xiaojiu."

Xiao Mubai asked in a deep voice: "What is her origin?"

Gongsun Yanming met his father-in-law's sharp gaze: "She is an orphan of a merchant family."

Xiao Mubai frowned: "Aren't Changle and Wuyou the only ones left in the Shang family? How come there's another orphan?"

Gongsun Yanming sighed, "I am also investigating."

Xiao Mubai's eyes revealed murderous intent: "The merchant's orphan cannot be left alone."

Gongsun Yanming said: "I will avenge Ziyu."

Xiao Mubai said coldly: "Of course Zi Yu's revenge must be taken. What I mean is... those two evil bastards must be killed as well! If you dare to murder my granddaughter, I will bury all the merchant bloodline with you!"

Gongsun Yanming walked to his father-in-law and said, "Changle is in Wushan, and we cannot touch her for the time being. As for Wuyou, his life belongs to Yaowang Valley. If I kill him, I will have a hard time explaining to Yaowang Valley."

Xiao Mubai looked at him solemnly: "It's your business whether you give an explanation or not. My granddaughter must let everyone be buried with her! Don't forget how you got the position of the head of the sect. Back then, your master passed the Qianji Pavilion to Zhongli Yuan's daughter. If I hadn't intercepted his suicide note, would you have the status you have today?"

Gongsun Yanming said calmly: "My father-in-law is very kind, and I will never forget it."

Xiao Mubai patted his shoulder and said, "I know you are reluctant to let go. After fifteen years, even if you raise a dog, you will develop feelings for it. However, since you have gained the benefits of our Xiao family, you have to make some sacrifices. What do you think?"

……

"Big brother!"

Gongsun Yu had been wandering behind the rockery of Tianshou Pavilion for a long time. Finally, he waited for Gongsun Yanming to arrive. He let out a long sigh, "Uncle Xiao didn't blame you, did he?"

Gongsun Yanming's eyes, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, finally showed a hint of murderous intent: "I really underestimated her."

This was the first time in his entire life that he was tricked by someone. Not only did his plans get ruined, but he also lost his daughter's life with his own hands.

He smashed the rocks into pieces with one palm!
He's broken through, he's broken through!
