I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

Gu Baizhou was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down quickly. He didn't know why the emperor was angry, but the only thing he could do now was to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, I found four hundred taels of silver in Minister Li's cellar."

Chu Yuheng rolled his eyes speechlessly. He had given him five hundred taels, but he actually kept one hundred taels for himself.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Minister Li is wrongly accused." A member of the prince's party took the initiative to stand up, "How could Minister Li embezzle 400 taels of silver and keep it in the mansion without hiding it? This must be a false accusation."

"Perhaps the person who framed him is Prince Gu." The Seventh Prince's men also echoed.

"Your Majesty, I would never do anything to frame others." Gu Baizhou kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please believe me, everything I say is absolutely true."

"You are the official investigating this matter, so it's up to you to say what you want to say."

"I will never do anything that would harm Your Majesty or the court." Gu Baizhou expressed his loyalty, "What you said is pure slander."

The emperor frowned in pain. He didn't want to listen to these people's discussions at all. He had already made up his mind.

"You." The emperor pointed at someone at random, "I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly. You must not wrongly accuse Minister Li or Prince Gu."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

"There is insufficient evidence in the case of Minister Li, so let him go first." The emperor sighed, "Ninth brother, you are in charge of the disaster relief in Jiangnan. Now the corruption case will be handed over to you for retrial. I believe you can do it."

"I accept your order." Chu Yuheng responded.

At this moment, Lord Gu felt as if the sky had fallen. If people found out that they had deliberately placed the silver in Minister Li's mansion to frame him, he would probably be finished as Lord Gu.

But the emperor did not punish them, which meant that as long as others could not get evidence, they could maintain the status quo and remain safe and sound. It was just a pity about the four hundred taels of silver.

In order to avoid any further trouble and fearing that the people appointed by the emperor would find out about them, Lord Gu could only discuss with Gu Baizhou and bury the matter completely.

At night, Yu Wangfei found it difficult to fall asleep when she thought about how she was bullied by the Gu family and had to compete with dogs for food in her previous life. Worried, she decided to take a pot of wine and go to the roof to appreciate the moonlight tonight.

But just when he climbed onto the roof, he saw Gu Baizhou sneaking out from the back door, which made Yu Wangfei immediately alert.

At this hour, where is Gu Baizhou going?

His heart told him that there must be something wrong with Gu Baizhou, so Yu Wangfei simply flipped down from the roof and followed him secretly.

Gu Baizhou quietly entered a farmer's house. Yu Wangfei quietly approached the wooden door, wanting to know who Gu Baizhou came to see in the middle of the night.

"You are here, Prince."

"Is everything taken care of?"

"It's been handled well. No one will ever find out that it was you who put the silver in Minister Li's mansion." The man replied in a mean manner.

The next second, Gu Baizhou took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it directly into the man's heart.

"You, you..." The man swallowed unwillingly.

"How can I find the murderer if you don't die?" Gu Baizhou smiled sinisterly, then took out a piece of paper and threw it at his feet.

Written on the paper was the man's letter of apology.

Seeing all this, Yu Wangfei took a step back in surprise, but accidentally hit the stone behind him, making a crisp sound.

"Who is it!" Gu Baizhou ran over vigilantly, pushed open the door, and found that it was actually a tabby cat.

After Gu Baizhou walked away, Yu Wangfei walked out from the left wall.

"He's gone." Yu Wangfei felt a little scared and took a deep breath.

"You took too much risk just now." Chu Yuheng complained.

If Chu Yuheng had not appeared in time and pulled Yu Wangfei to the corner of the wall, she, Bi Anran, would have been discovered by Gu Baizhou.

Even if Yu Wangfei was pregnant with the seventh prince's child, how could Gu Baizhou, the witness who saw her committing the crime, let her go?

"I." Yu Wangfei came back to her senses from her nervousness, "Thank you, but why are you here?"

She followed Gu Baizhou because she saw him sneaking out of the house, so why was Chu Yuheng here?

"I have already assigned people to keep an eye on Gu Baizhou. I will be the first to know about any movement of his." Chu Yuheng replied.

When his men saw Gu Baizhou coming here, he hurried over and just saw Yu Wangfei eavesdropping in front of the door.

Suddenly, Yu Wangfei seemed to have thought of something, and quickly lifted her skirt and ran into the yard.

As soon as the gate was opened, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face, followed by a bloody corpse lying beside a dry well in the yard.

"He killed someone." Yu Wangfei looked at the corpse on the ground in surprise.

In my impression, although Gu Baizhou is very hateful, what is even more hateful is his foolish filial piety.

He might beat or punish his servants, but he would never do something like killing someone with his own hands.

Why did everything change in this life? Gu Baizhou even dared to kill people with his own hands.

"Are you surprised?" Chu Yuheng raised his eyes slightly in confusion.

For him, it was not surprising to see Gu Baizhou killing someone, but he didn't know why Yu Wangfei was so surprised.

At this time, Chu Yuheng recalled the scene when Yu Wangfei and Gu Baizhou met before, and thought that she still had a place for Gu Baizhou in her heart, so his expression suddenly relaxed.

"A little bit." Yu Wangfei didn't notice his displeasure. "Even if you want to kill someone, you shouldn't do it yourself."

Hearing that Yu Wangfei was surprised because Gu Baizhou did it himself, Chu Yuheng coughed awkwardly and then changed his expression.

"It's safest to do it yourself. There's nothing strange about it." Chu Yuheng explained.

"What are you going to do next?" Yu Wangfei turned around and met Chu Yuheng's eyes.

Now she has completely calmed down.

She was shocked and scared when she saw Gu Baizhou killing someone in front of the door just now, but for some reason, she slowly felt relieved after seeing Chu Yuheng.

It seems that as long as Chu Yuheng appears, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

"No rush." ​​Chu Yuheng pondered, "He was too ruthless. There is no evidence right now. We can only deal with it together later."

At first, Chu Yuheng's plan was just to let the emperor see the incompetence of the Gu family and prevent Gu Baizhou from integrating into the ranks of civil and military officials. He really didn't expect that the Gu family would directly kill people and let him take the blame.

"I'm sorry for scaring you today, Feifei." Chu Yuheng reached out his hand distressedly and hugged her in his arms, "You didn't see or hear anything today. I'll take you back now."

"When do you plan to deal with the Gu family?" Yu Wangfei asked directly.

"After you finish your thing." Chu Yuheng closed his eyes and greedily sniffed the fragrance from Yu Wangfei's neck.

"Okay." Yu Wangfei agreed.

After what happened tonight, Yu Wangfei decided to speed up the attack on Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to prevent Gu Baizhou from committing any more murders or robberies.
