Chapter 40 Gang
It was just as the leading man had expected, these men did resemble the figures of Gu Junqing and his companions last time. Moreover, Huang Zhenxing was really eager to find someone at that time, so when he saw these people, the leading man insisted that these were the group of people who were in the dark room at that time.
Huang Zhenxing really believed it and immediately sent people to execute these people in secret!
At the Yu family in the capital, Yu Xihou was a little suspicious when he learned that Huang Zhenxing had killed a tomb-robbing gang. Why did Huang Zhenxing kill a group of people for no reason? But he just thought about it casually and didn't take it to heart at all. He continued to handle official business in a blink of an eye.
So much so that a few days later, when their so-called master asked them about it, and the servant stammered and said that the group of people were secretly executed by Huang Zhenxing, the governor of Suzhou, the man immediately smashed a teacup and shouted angrily:
"Useless thing! Do you really think our Chu family has fallen? How dare a mere prefect of Suzhou to shout in front of me!"
This person is Chu Shen, the head of the Chu family in Changyuanhou Mansion.
Although the power of the Chu family had been basically divided up by Qi Yunjin, they still had some ideas on how to deal with the prefect of Suzhou.
This is a topic for later, so let’s not mention it for now.
Meanwhile, Duan Jun didn't quite understand what Gu Junqing had just said to the man, so he asked curiously:
"How did the general know about those tomb-robbing gangs?"
Gu Junqing and Duan Jun had returned to the inn and came to a private room. She sat down and Duan Jun followed. After all, the way they got along was more casual than other masters and servants. This was mainly because Gu Junqing handled the master-servant relationship more casually. After all, the people around him were all his confidants, and the two of them were both in the military camp, so they were naturally not particular about details. When Gu Junqing heard Duan Jun ask this question out of the blue, she curled her lips:
“I found this out by accident.”
But after saying this, there was no more to say. Duan Jun had no choice but to nod and not say anything else.
This knowledge, which he had unintentionally acquired, was actually discovered when he was investigating the Chu family in his previous life. At that time, the Chu family was indeed discovered by the emperor in his previous life, who is now the late emperor, and was severely punished.
And now she is taking advantage of this matter, and this tomb-robbing gang may become an excellent fuse to cause the breakdown of the cooperation between Shen, Yu and Chu.
After all, that gang was one of the important sources of income for the Chu family. Although the way they made money was not authentic, it did make money quickly. Chu Shen would definitely be furious, especially now that he was just a marquis who was not favored by the emperor. He had the title of marquis, and many of his properties were confiscated by Qi Yunjin for various reasons, so that one of his sources of income was cut off. How could he not be angry? With Chu Shen's revengeful temper, he would definitely kill Huang Zhenxing!
But Huang Zhenxing has the Yu family behind him, and who knows what the Yu family has hidden in the secret room under Huang Zhenxing's study!
Gu Junqing's smile was full of ill intent, like a cat that had stolen some fish. Duan Jun looked at him and suddenly shuddered.
After all, although the general's smile looks good now, it is still a little creepy.
A few days have passed, and tomorrow is the Spring Banquet. Before returning to Beijing, Gu Junqing went to the cruise ship specifically to check on Huang Yuan and the two guards beside him. She had already bribed the boatman here, so she just needed to lock up the three of them. As for their lives, they had to be saved until she returned to Suzhou. She had her own plans.
It was not until the evening that the two of them set off for the capital. The route this time was a little different from the way they came here.
After all, sometimes fate always comes inexplicably. Gu Junqing and Duan Jun pulled the reins together, the horse stopped, and the two turned to look at Feng Xiaohan.
"Finally I made it!"
Feng Xiaohan also stopped his horse and panted.
The two looked at him expressionlessly without saying anything.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally it was Gu Junqing who spoke:
"What is the matter with this brother who caught up with us? Have we met before?"
"Hey, stop pretending, I recognized you two last time at Huang's house!"
Gu Junqing frowned, fearing that this person was cheating, so she continued to play dumb:
"Brother, we just met by chance and have never met each other before. You keep saying you are pretending and what the hell is the Huang Mansion. We are just..."
But she was interrupted by this guy before she could finish her words. He shook his head:
"Don't frame me. I recognized you. After all, your Qinggong is really rare. Plus, with my many years of martial arts experience and some tricks from the martial arts world, it's not difficult for me to recognize you..."
He continued to talk, mostly narcissistic words, and Gu Junqing had no time to listen. As soon as they returned to the capital, they would go directly back to the general's mansion. If this person knew about it, if their whereabouts were exposed, then someone in Suzhou would definitely target them. So she took out the long sword from her waist, pointed it at him, and said coldly:
"If you want to go to the capital, you can go alone. Why bother with the two of us? I advise you not to follow us!"
Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Junqing retracted his sword, flicked the reins, and the horse started running again.
"Tsk! This guy is such a murderer!"
Feng Xiaohan looked up and sighed.
He just went to the capital for business and happened to meet them and kept them company.
The general was not in the mansion for a few days, and Qingyi and Qinghe had to face many ministers and secret guards who came to test whether Gu Junqing was staying with the general obediently. Fortunately, Qinghe was good at making masks, so she found a man with a similar body shape to Gu Junqing to cover up temporarily. In addition, the emperor also covered up for Gu Junqing from time to time, so it was perfect. Those people were suspicious, but they had no evidence.
Shen Lianyu in the general's mansion rarely saw Gu Junqing in the past few days. Even if they met a few times, he would coldly drive her out and even arrange for her to live in a courtyard farther away from her.
This made Shen Lianyu really angry and helpless.
Staying in the room, thinking carefully, she still felt unwilling, so she went to the small kitchen and planned to cook some food and wine for her. If possible, it would not be impossible to make it a fait accompli. In this way, if she became a concubine in the general's mansion, she would also be half a master.
Unlike now, when she has no name or status, no one respects her, and she has no servants around her, it's so troublesome! Shen Lianyu thought in dissatisfaction.
However, Shen Lianyu did not recognize her position in the General's Mansion. She was just given to her by King Huai. Gu Junqing only stopped King Huai from killing her, but did not ask for it.
If she hadn't told her about the secret of the Shen Mansion, she would have been sent to an unknown place by now. She even wanted to become his concubine. Did she forget that her original purpose was to avenge her aunt?
