Chapter 20 The person behind the scenes

Now she wants to see how these people are doing things right under her nose!

Thinking of this, Gu Junqing instantly remembered who the man with the clean eyes in the corner was. In his previous life, this man had a competition with the man who won the championship, but he failed and died on the way back to Beijing because he fell off a cliff. She felt sorry for a while at that time.

This is a good seedling.

Gu Junqing seemed to be thinking about something.

Before leaving, she glanced at the Tianzi Restaurant and saw that the windows on the second floor were closed.

When he returned to the mansion, Nanny Chen came to greet him, "General, you are finally back. Today, just as you expected, Yu Li, who had been guarding the horse stop, actually poisoned us! This guy is so vicious!" Yu Li.

Sent by Yu Mansion. She wanted to destroy the stables of Gu Mansion. After all, in Da Qi, many high-quality horses were in her general's mansion. Of course, most of them were awarded to her by the emperor. Sooner or later, these horses would follow her into the battlefield. If the people of Yu Mansion succeeded at this time, they would definitely repeat the same mistakes.

Like in the previous life, the late emperor used the horses from her general's mansion for the autumn hunt, and then the horses suddenly lost control and the late emperor fell off. Then the imperial physician said that the horses had been poisoned by some drug that made them manic, and it was a chronic drug. As long as they smelled a plant that was incompatible with it, they would immediately become out of control.

Chronic medicine.

Apart from the people in General Gu’s mansion who have been in contact with their own horses, who else could have given the chronic medicine?

Thinking of this, Gu Junqing's eyes gradually turned cold, and he strode towards the woodshed in the mansion. After all, he was in the woodshed.

The woodshed was very quiet. There was the lunch given to him today on the ground. There was only a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns. He didn't eat it. Was he afraid that she would order someone to poison him?

Gu Junqing took a look and then looked back at the man who had never raised his head from beginning to end.

It was only after he entered the woodshed that he raised his head, looked at her, and sneered:

"Gu Junqing, why haven't you sent someone to kill me yet? Or are you expecting me to reveal the person behind me? General, don't even think about it. Since I, Yu Li, dare to do it, then I dare to take responsibility. After all, I have been holding a grudge against you for a long time. I have prepared the poison for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would discover it."

Unexpectedly, Yu Li, who had always been taciturn in the mansion, became more talkative after his identity was revealed. Others were stingy with words when being interrogated by her, but this person was afraid that others didn't know what he was like.

Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I will still count on you, Yu Li? You think too highly of yourself. After all, in the eyes of Lord Yu, I'm sure you will think that you betrayed him and became his man." This sentence came out of nowhere. Yu Li didn't believe it and continued to sneer: "General Gu, do you think I will believe it? It's ridiculous. Even if you kill me now, I won't recognize it. Who is Lord Yu? I don't know Lord Yu!"

But his eyes seemed vague, and it was obvious that he had something to hide.

Gu Junqing was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowly found a chair to sit down, then picked up the long whip on the table. That long whip was not an ordinary long whip. It had spikes around the bottom of the whip and barbs in the middle. If it hit the body, it would definitely hang the flesh off the person.

She gently swung the whip, and there was a sound of it breaking through the air.

Yu Li looked at it and subconsciously shuddered in his heart.

I had to lower my head and pretend I didn't see it.

"Your quibbling is useless to me. After all, I have already leaked the news. Lord Yu must have known it by now. But I was kind enough not to expose you. I just said that several horses in my house died inexplicably recently, and the doctor couldn't find any reason. However, a servant who had been taking care of the horses in the stable suddenly stepped forward and saved the other dying horses!"

Yu Li listened, and his eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly, but he still didn't say anything, obviously he was also a man of great patience.

Just when Yu Li was thinking about how to respond, Gu Junqing suddenly came close to him and spoke softly:

"I thought that Lord Yu would send someone to kill you right now. Am I right?"

Yu Li suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief, and blurted out: "Impossible!"

"Why not?" Gu Junqing asked, taking advantage of the situation.

But at this time, Yu Li knew that he had said something wrong and refused to speak again no matter what.

This was also within her expectations, but she was not in a hurry, and could just wait and see. After all, there were more than just Li in the Yu Mansion, and there must be accomplices.

However, this accomplice was much more patient. Three days passed and no one approached the woodshed.

It was not until the fourth night that Gu Junqing finally caught Yu Li's accomplice, but this man was also ruthless. He stabbed the dagger directly into Yu Li's heart, killing him instantly, and then committed suicide. His intention from the beginning was to kill himself, which really caught Gu Junqing off guard and he failed to stop him.

The person was dead and the clues were gone, so he had no choice but to order someone to deal with the body on the ground.

The next morning, Gu Junqing went to the morning court as usual. No one knew what happened today, but the emperor got very angry and scared all the ministers.

Then, the emperor discovered that Zhang Shilang, the Minister of Personnel, was selling private salt outside! In Da Qi, selling private salt is a serious crime!

After the court session - "Recently, many ministers in the court have been demoted, exiled, or even worse, their homes have been confiscated. It seems that we should be careful recently, otherwise we will be in big trouble..."

"That's true. The new emperor is indeed ruthless, even more ruthless than the previous emperor. With such ruthless means, I'm afraid those people must be angry for a while... And that General Gu who just returned to the capital, tsk tsk tsk, he is now serving in the Imperial Guards. Not to mention how happy he is, the emperor has also been giving in to him in the court recently..."

"Hush, keep your voice down. Walls have ears. We should try to say as little as possible. If they find out, they might impeach us in the court..."

……

Don't mention it, she actually heard it.

Gu Junqing, who was standing in front of them in court robes, had a blank expression on his face.

However, the new young emperor was indeed ruthless. Many ministers in the court began to feel insecure. Although those ministers who were dismissed and exiled were no longer there, the Shen family, the Yu family, and Prince An's power almost occupied half of the court. What were these people who were demoted now? It would make them take bigger actions. Prince An and others who had remained silent would surely explode one day, and the time was approaching.

The exam continued today, and Gu Junqing sat in the original seat. However, today was the same as in the previous life. First, Li Dahui competed with the man who was hiding in the corner yesterday.

"Hey, brother, can your small body withstand my punches? If you can't, please tell me. I'll be embarrassed if you get hurt."

Li Dahui stood in the venue, looking at the man in front of him, and couldn't help but remind him.

The man also heard the worry in Li Dahui's tone. He couldn't help but smile, curved his beautiful eyebrows, clasped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I understand. You don't have to worry about me, just come."
