Chapter 262 The Dust Settles
"Master, that grandma of the Wang family wants to see you." The servant waited for Gu Leiting to wash up before coming to report.

Gu Leiting thought for a while and agreed.

The grandma of Wang's family started crying as soon as she came in, saying that because of his imprisonment, Wang Yinghua didn't think about food and tea, and now she was seriously ill in bed, so she asked Gu Leiting to take a look.

Nan Jun chuckled beside him, as if he heard something interesting.

Gu Leiting glanced at her. It must be a bad thing for her to smile like this.

Entering the courtyard where Wang Yinghua lived, I saw Xiaohong guarding the door nervously, "Master, Madam is very ill, the doctor said it's best not to go in, so as not to infect others."

"Presumptuous, Yinghua doesn't have any infectious diseases, you should get out of the way quickly." The grandma of the Wang family scolded, she finally invited someone over to heat up the relationship between the husband and wife, how could it be possible for Gu Leiting to leave easily.

"Madam has orders, no one will be seen." Xiaohong said in a firm tone with a layer of sweat on her forehead.

"The young fox pretends to be the tiger." Some time ago, Wang Yinghua was fine, but a few days ago she suddenly said that she was seriously ill, and no one saw her, even her. She was annoyed in her heart, thinking that this little hoof could not do it on purpose.

With this thought, she didn't know where she got the strength to push the person away, and she went in first.

The room is dark, and because the windows have been closed and there is no ventilation, there is a dry and humid smell inside.

"You..." Xiaohong swallowed half of the words when she saw people entering, thinking about leaving quickly.

"Where are you going?" Nan Jun blocked her way.

"I'll go and get the medicine for Madam." Xiao Hong forced herself to be calm.

"Really?" Nan Jun smiled meaningfully, "Where is the medicine, I'll ask someone else to bring it."

"No, I'll do it myself." She wanted to leave urgently.

"Okay, you little hoof, where's Yinghua?" The grandma of the Wang family rushed out and shouted at her.

"Isn't Madam in the room?" Xiaohong still wanted to argue.

"Crack~!"

Grandma Wang didn't talk nonsense to her, she just slapped her, "Where did you get Yinghua?"

"I don't know, Madam asked me to guard the door to prevent outsiders from entering."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Gu Leiting frowned slightly, and entered the room. From the inside, it looked like no one lived there for a few days. It seemed that Xiao Hong was lying from the beginning.

"Hmph, why don't you say yes, go, follow me to the government." Grandma Wang tugged at Xiaohong's sleeve.

As soon as she heard the official, panic flashed in Xiaohong's eyes, and she couldn't die.

The more she behaves like this, the more problematic she feels.

How could the grandma of the Wang family let her go, when the relatives of the Wang family came over, she yelled and asked Xiaohong to be taken to the government, and she shouted that Xiaohong must have harmed Wang Yinghua.

She was just scaring Xiaohong.

I didn't think that the person who was stubborn just now collapsed on the ground in an instant, tears and snot came out from crying, "Wuuuu, I didn't kill Madam, but housekeeper Xu. I was wronged."

Nan Jun looked at the woman on the ground coldly. At the critical moment, his own life was really important.

Gu Leiting looked at everything in disbelief. If there was nothing wrong with his ears, someone said that Wang Yinghua died just now?

His heart suddenly became mixed.

For the woman who has been with him for more than ten years, no matter what, even if he knows that the child is not his, even if the assassination on the road last time was related to her, but he always has compassion, and he really wants to ask that woman Well, he hasn't owed her half a penny these years. If she doesn't like him, he can give her a lot of money and let her leave.

Why did he come to this place? Is it really all for his family property?

It's a pity that before he questioned, the person disappeared, leaving him nowhere to vent his grievances.

Everyone in the Wang family was also stunned, "Is Yinghua really dead?"

No, no, this must not be true. How could Yinghua die? She had promised them that she would give them a large sum of money to go back to their hometown and make others envious.

Now that people leave suddenly, what will happen to their money?
"You kill a thousand swords." A relative of the Wang family burst into tears and beat the people on the ground.

"Go and report the crime." Nan Jun ordered to the bewildered servant next to him.

No one thought of this situation. This is the most merciful ending for Wang Yinghua. If she lives, she will definitely suffer more than if she dies.

According to Xiaohong's explanation, the officials in the government soon dug up a corpse under a banyan tree next to the yard. Because of the hot weather, it had been seriously decomposed, but they could still tell that it was Wang Yinghua.

On the other side, Xu Youtu hurried back to Lishui all the way.

The map on the key was the old house of Gu Leiting in Lishui. He calmed down and waited for the night to come.

It was too obvious to act during the day, and under the cover of night, he sneaked over the wall and just stood still.

The courtyard was instantly lit by fire, and a man in official uniform stood in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Xu Youtu's heart sank and he wanted to run away.

It's a pity that he was directly pressed to the ground.

Then he was escorted back to Xiangling, and because of all the personal and material evidence, he was sentenced to be beheaded after autumn.

Xu Youtu refused to accept it, claiming that he was being wronged.

Lord Yao of the Shunying Mansion ordered the two of them to be brought up, and seeing the two coming up, Xu Youtu completely softened.

One clearly pointed out that the servant who killed Gu's family was ordered by Xu Youtu, while the other also said that Xu Youtu asked him to put poisonous snakes in Gu Qingzhi's room.

The two were stubborn and refused to confess, but when they heard the man in black confessed that he was here to kill them, they were chilled and confessed everything.

And there was an unexpected harvest, the person who almost belittled Gu Qingzhi in the rainy night was the one who released the poisonous snake. He had been entrusted by Xu Youtu several times, which was not good for Gu Qingzhi, but it was a pity that he failed.

The turmoil in Xiangling City has not yet subsided, and another wave will rise again.

Many officials have been detained for corruption, accepting bribes and forming cliques for personal gain.

For a while, the storytellers in the teahouse all told these stories.

Concubine Li Gui invited Uncle Xiao Guo into the palace, and in front of him, smashed the porcelain all over the floor, obviously everything was beneficial to them, since this Bai Xiuran came back, he messed up everything.

"Is there nothing you can do about such an annoying person?" Concubine Li said with murderous intent.

Uncle Xiao Guomo, not only did he kill Bai Xiuran a few times before, but he also sent people to kill Bai Xiuran before. It can only be said that he was very fateful, but he failed every time. Bai Xiuran didn't sit in it at all, but Gu Qingzhi sat in it and was rescued by Xiao Yidong.

After several times in succession, none of them succeeded.

In terms of the closest success, it was probably this time that Bai Xiuran was seriously injured and fell into a coma. He almost succeeded, but it is a pity that he is awake now.

And it caused him a lot of trouble.

"Brother, if this continues, Qing'er's throne will definitely be lost." Concubine Li was also in a hurry.

"Hmph, it seems that you can only do it hard." Uncle Xiao Guo said in a stern tone.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"You don't need to worry about it." After saying this, he turned and left.

half a month later.

Uncle Xiao Guo led a certain army into the palace suddenly, and the cold iron tools shone dangerously under the firelight.

Above the main hall, the majestic old man looked at the person who led the troops to break in, "Do you want to rebel?"

"Haha, that day you sentenced my son to death, I wanted to kill you." Uncle Xiao Guo paused every word.

Now he is Daozu, and the person on the opposite side is fish and meat. He happens to avenge his son.

"Hey." The old man sighed slightly, and looked at him with some pity, if Xiao Guoshu hadn't spoiled and indulged Xiao Li so much at the beginning, maybe there would be no future.

"Haha, today is your day of death, old man." Uncle Xiao Guo cursed, telling his subordinates to come forward.

As soon as the people around moved, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in from nowhere and surrounded them, "Master Guo, it's better not to do anything." Chen Feiteng walked in from the door with a smile.

"Why is it you?" Uncle Xiao Guo looked at the person in surprise, and then he suddenly realized, and cursed one after another: "You eat things from the inside out."

"Master Guo's words are wrong." Chen Feiteng didn't get angry at all, "My allegiance is to the current Holy Majesty from the beginning to the end, why do I just eat inside and outside?"

Uncle Xiao Guo sneered, slandering in his heart. Before, he thought that this was a talent, and it would be good for them to win them over. He didn't expect that the other party was a poisonous snake, and it wouldn't pay to kill him. He could only blame him for being blind and not seeing the other party's mind clearly.

"Uncle Guo, do you still want to resist?" Bai Xiuran also walked in, and said coldly.

Behind him, Jiang Zhengfeng, Yao Congcheng and many others also came in together.

Uncle Xiao Guo knew at this time that he had completely failed. The people he brought had probably already been subdued by them. If he surrendered now, he would be dead, and if he didn't surrender, he would be dead.

But before he died, he must drag the old man in a high position to go to Huangquan with him to avenge his son.

"Brother, you can't continue to be obsessed with your obsession." Concubine Li Gui came in crying, and stopped in front of Xiao Guojiu, "This is a big treason, I can't let you make the same mistake again and again, big brother stop."

Uncle Xiao Guo's eyes flickered, he knew that Concubine Li Gui was acting in front of everyone in order to protect herself and Zhao Mingqing.

"Get out of the way, or I'll kill you together." He said viciously on purpose.

"Even if I die, I can't let you touch a single hair on the sage... um..." Concubine Li looked at the dagger on her abdomen in disbelief, she was just talking.

"whee."

Qi Fei smiled brilliantly, "You should go to hell."

No one expected Qi Fei to appear, looking at the woman in military uniform, wondering if she is really crazy or fake?

Uncle Xiao Guo came to his senses and drew out his sword to kill Qi Fei, but was blocked by a sword. Zhao Hongwen was wearing black armor and pulled Qi Fei behind him.

"Even you are pretending?" Uncle Xiao Guo said in a deep voice.

I thought Zhao Hongwen couldn't stand the blow and was completely decadent, but I didn't expect him to be faking it.

Thinking of this, Uncle Xiao Guo glared angrily at the old man in the high position: "It seems that everything was designed by you."

The old man is silent, he is already old, and the world will be his son in the future.

Zhao Mingqing's temperament is too vicious, if the world is really handed over to him, the common people will lament that the people are in dire straits, but Zhao Hongwen's generous temperament makes him a good candidate for the country and the common people.

He also knew that many people in the imperial court formed cliques for selfish purposes, and it was not that no one told him about Uncle Xiao's petty actions, but he wanted to solve all the troubles for Zhao Hongwen at once, so that he could sit in a high position more smoothly in the future, so he did everything he could. .

"I will never let you go." Uncle Xiao Guo yelled at the high-ranking old man, and stabbed Zhao Hongwen unexpectedly with the sword in his hand.

He always has to pull a padded back.

But those little tricks of his were already seen through by others, Chen Feiteng stopped him and took advantage of the situation to subdue him.

"Where is Qingzhi?" Bai Xiuran approached and asked.

"Hahaha, don't you know? She died a long time ago, and there is no bone left after a bottle of bone melted." Uncle Xiao Guo couldn't stop laughing.

"Do you think I will believe these words? Where is Qingzhi?" His voice was still cold, but his feet were fierce, stepping on Uncle Xiao Guo's hands and crushing them slowly.

Zhao Hongwen was taken aback, Bai Xiuran had never been so furious.

"I've seen King Hades a long time ago. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." Uncle Xiao Guo was in pain, but still provocatively said.

It's just that the smile on the corner of the mouth has not yet risen, and the pupils suddenly widen
"Hee hee, you should go see Hades too, people like you are doomed to fall into the frying pan." Qi Fei stabbed Xiao Guoshu's body again and again, smiling even more happily.

A palace change came to an end like this.

Uncle Xiao Guo and Concubine Li Gui were stabbed to death, and the whereabouts of the second prince Zhao Mingqing are unknown...

The Holy Majesty was originally in poor health, and after this incident, he was even bedridden. He specially invited Bai Xiuran to enter the palace with the national teacher, and specially confessed some things.

In November of this year, the eldest prince Zhao Hongwen ascended the throne, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

In December, Bai Xiuran left Xiangling without a trace. Someone said he was looking for his wife.

Some people also said that the young lady of the Gu family had passed away long ago, and Prime Minister Bai just couldn't accept this reality and wanted to retire.
