From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Haha~! Gu Tingxu, you didn't expect this, did you!"

Seeing Gu Tingshu's astonished expression, Sun Bingyi laughed triumphantly.

"Second brother! What are you doing?!"

Jin Bingren, who was standing nearby, came to his senses and quickly knelt down in front of Gu Tingshu.

"Sir! Bingyi was confused for a moment. Please, in view of all these years, my brothers and I..."

"A moment of confusion?"

Gu Tingshu interrupted Jin Bingren, his face ashen, and gave a cold snort.

"He killed Cheng'en in a moment of folly, and now he wants to kill Chengze."

"this……"

Kim Byung-in opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Gu Tingshu's son is dead, what else can he say? What can he say to make Gu Tingshu disregard the hatred of killing his son and let Sun Bingyi go?

"Second brother! Tell me! You didn't do these things!"

Kim Byung-in suddenly turned to Sun Byung-yi and shouted at him.

"Brother, don't waste your time. Even if I said I didn't do it, would he believe me?"

Sun Bingyi sneered, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Besides, I already hate them so much I want to kill them all, I want my family to be wiped out!"

"Bingyi, you...you haven't let go yet?"

Kim Byung-in opened his mouth, but in an instant, he seemed to have lost all his strength.

"Let go? How can I let go!"

Sun Bingyi roared loudly, then suddenly acted as if he were insane.

There seems to be more to this story than meets the eye.

Yes, otherwise, why would a dignified steward of a marquis's mansion and a sixth-rank military officer join the Fufeng Society and risk his life to become an enemy of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion?

"You know, Lingyi and I are truly in love. If it weren't for Gu Tingdong's interference..."

"Shut up!"

Before Sun Bingyi could finish speaking, Jin Bingren was startled and hurriedly rushed over to cover his mouth.

However, he was a little too late; Sun Bingyi had already mentioned two names.

Most of the people present did not know who Lingyi was, but Gu Tingdong was the deceased Second Master!

Why is Gu Tingdong acting so aggressively? He's probably trying to steal her away.

In other words, Sun Bingyi fell in love with a girl named Lingyi, who should now be middle-aged, but Gu Tingdong stole her away.

For this reason, Sun Bingyi harbored resentment towards the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, and even wished that the Gu family would be wiped out.

Unexpectedly, Sun Bingyi was also a romantic.

However, there aren't that many romantics in the world. Judging from Sun Bingyi's mad appearance, compared to his deep affection back then, what he has now is probably more resentment from years of unrequited love.

Chen Shi wasn't particularly interested in this either.

He suddenly remembered that night in the artificial hill, when he saw the second wife having a secret rendezvous with someone. He didn't see the man's face, only his white robes.

And as the steward, wouldn't he be wearing a white robe?

Could it be that the person that night was Sun Bingyi?

Could the "Lingyi" mentioned by Sun Bingyi be the maiden name of the second wife?

Looking at Gu Tingshu, who stood there with a cold expression, Chen Shi became even more certain of his guess.

If Lingyi were just a maid, Gu Tingshu wouldn't have looked so grim, and Jin Bingren wouldn't have been so nervous.

It is precisely because Lingyi is the second wife that they acted this way, which concerns the reputation of the Marquis's mansion!

"You lowly servant, how dare you harbor such delusions!"

Gu Tingshu spoke, his voice filled with disdain, before his expression darkened.

"It's all my second brother's fault for being too soft-hearted and not killing you! If I had known this earlier, I would never have tolerated you!"

"Then you'll regret it!"

"...I'm asking you, what did you have to do with the deaths of my second brother and Chengrong!"

"I wish I could chop them both to pieces, but unfortunately, I didn't kill them."

Sun Bingyi looked regretful, then burst into triumphant laughter.

"But Heaven has eyes, and they all died tragically!"

"I'll ask you again, are there still members of the Fufeng Society in the Marquis's residence?"

"Of course."

Sun Bingyi smiled, a smug glint in his eyes.

"The Fufeng Society is omnipresent, and I'm not the only one in the Jing'an Marquis's residence. Besides, let me tell you, that person is of quite high status!"

"Who is it!"

"Guess? Haha, you couldn't possibly figure that out even if you racked your brains."

"You bastard!"

Seeing Sun Bingyi's arrogant demeanor, Gu Tingshu gave a stern rebuke.

However, he also knew that he couldn't get Sun Bingyi to reveal everything he knew with just a few words.

Gu Tingshu's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand.

"Take him back and torture him severely; he won't be able to stay silent!"

"Yes."

Two men responded and came over to tie Sun Bingyi up.

But the next moment, the two suddenly stopped and took two steps back in a panic.

Sun Bingyi lay there, his body convulsing, blood constantly oozing from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, his face as if shrouded in a black mist.

He is poisoned!

Or rather, he took poison.

Knowing there was no way out, rather than being taken back to the Marquis's mansion to suffer endless torture, he decided to end his own life.

"Gu Tingxu! I'll go first and wait for you!"

Sun Bingyi stared at Gu Tingshu with a ferocious expression, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

"We can't let him die!"

Gu Tingshu frowned and shouted.

In fact, some people had already realized what was happening and hurriedly stuffed antidote pills into Sun Bingyi's mouth. However, it was unknown what kind of poison Sun Bingyi had used; its toxicity was extremely potent, and these precious antidotes had no effect whatsoever.

Just a few breaths later, Sun Bingyi's head lolled to the side, and he was completely lifeless.

"...Second brother!"

Jin Bingren's eyes widened, and with a shout, he threw himself onto Sun Bingyi's body, wailing loudly.

"Damn it!"

Gu Tingshu stared at Sun Bingyi's corpse with a gloomy expression.

Their deaths are not a pity, but this would make it impossible to interrogate who else in the Jing'an Marquis's household is a member of the Fufeng Society.

"snort!"

In his anger, Gu Tingshu let out another cold snort.

Water leaves a trace, and he didn't believe that the person hadn't left any clues!

Start by investigating those who are acquainted with Sun Bingyi; I don't believe we won't find them.

"Let's go back to the manor!"

All the members of the Fufeng Society have been executed, so there's no point in them staying here any longer. Gu Tingshu gave a soft shout and prepared to take them back.

"Sir, your nose..."

Jin Bingren stood up, and the next moment, his eyes widened as he stared at Gu Tingshu's face.

"Um?"

Gu Tingshu subconsciously reached out and touched his nostrils, immediately smearing a large patch of blood on the back of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, not only his nose, but also the corners of his mouth, eyes, and even his ear canals, began to ooze blood in the shape of small snakes.

"Master, take your medicine quickly!"

Jin Bingren's face turned pale instantly, and he quickly took out an antidote pill and gave it to Gu Tingshu.

Gu Tingshu also had a serious expression and immediately mobilized his blood and qi to suppress the poison.

He was clearly poisoned!

Moreover, judging from the situation, it seems that he and Sun Bingyi were poisoned by the same kind of poison.

How could I have been poisoned?

Gu Tingshu frowned, and when he saw the tiger-striped mask lying to the side, he suddenly thought of something.

Kick the mask over and you'll see a ruptured poison sac inside!

It turns out the poison wasn't hidden in Sun Bingyi's mouth, but inside his mask.

Knowing he was doomed, Sun Bingyi bit open the poison sac, smearing the venom on his mask, and deliberately tricked Gu Tingshu into removing his mask, thus also being poisoned.

"Damn it, pfft!"

Gu Tingshu was filled with rage, but then he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This poison is extremely potent!

"Quickly return to the manor for treatment!"

The antidote pills he carried with him were useless, so Jin Bingren shouted and was about to take Gu Tingshu back.

"Want to leave? You can't."

But just then, a leisurely voice rang out, and another group of people appeared.

Everyone was wearing a mask, with the leader wearing a bronze mask!
