Chapter 52 Lost
Huang Zhenxing had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body trembled from time to time, fearing that he would be killed by the man in black.
Yu Er was calm. After all, he had been through all kinds of things following Yu Xihou. Although he didn't know martial arts, he still had his brains. Besides, he had been kidnapped before, so apart from being a little panicked at the beginning, he was now calm.
So he spoke first, looking at the person standing in front of him, he asked in a deep voice:
"Who are you, sir? Can you please tell me your name? Do you know who we are?"
"Of course I know. You are one of the confidants of Jingyuan Hou in the capital, and the one next to you is the prefect of Suzhou..." Yu Er saw that this person knew it, but still had the courage to treat them like this. He was about to question him, but the man seemed to know what he was going to say, and continued with an arrogant attitude, simply not taking them seriously:
"But so what? I don't care who you are. You will definitely die today..."
Before Gu Junqing, the man in black, finished his threats, Huang Zhenxing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted:
"Sir! Let's talk it over nicely! Let's talk it over nicely. What do you want? Wait until you let us go. I promise! I will give you whatever you want! As long as you let me go now!"
Coward!
When Yu Er saw Huang Zhenxing like this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
When he returns to the capital, he will definitely tell the Marquis about his cowardly behavior and punish him severely!
Regardless of what Yu Er thought in his heart, Gu Junqing was waiting for this sentence anyway, so Gu Junqing paused for a moment, as if she thought this suggestion was good. She looked at them nonchalantly, and then followed Huang Zhenxing's words and asked:
"Oh? You really will give me everything?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Anything is fine!"
"Who is the master behind this mine?"
Huang Zhenxing: “…”
He was choked by this question for a moment. After all, Yu Er was watching beside him. Secondly, even if he was not there, if he told it out loud, the identity of the mine owner, Yu Xihou, would be exposed. Although he, the Marquis, could handle the issue, Yu Xihou would be the first to hold him accountable afterwards, and his own life would be in danger.
But now he is almost dead...
Caught between a rock and a hard place, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
Seeing that he was silent, Gu Junqing took out the dagger hidden at his waist, and then casually spread out a handkerchief to wipe the blade back and forth. Huang Zhenxing watched with his peripheral vision, and felt that the dagger would cut through his neck in the next second, and he died in the end.
Yu Er just thought that this person was too useless. With just a dagger, she would definitely not kill them immediately. After all, they had things she wanted to know.
However, he didn't think about this idea for long before Gu Junqing gave him a different idea.
As the dagger slashed towards his neck at a speed faster than the blink of an eye, with visible drops of blood flashing past his eyes and Huang Zhenxing's frightened screams in his ears, apart from the noise, the only question left in his mind was this.
Why did this man kill himself? !
But no one could answer him, because he was lying on the ground, motionless and silent.
Yu Er died.
Gu Junqing took back the dagger and continued to wipe the blood in his hand, which was an eyesore.
Huang Zhenxing felt a chill in his heart as he watched, fearing that he would end up like Yu Er. He knelt down hastily. As his limbs were tied up with ropes, his kneeling was very uncoordinated and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he managed to keep his balance. He begged for mercy:
"Your Excellency! Whatever you want to know and whatever you want to get, I will tell you everything I know. I just hope you won't expose me in the end?!"
Gu Junqing stopped what he was doing, looked at him, and smiled with satisfaction: "You are sensible, sir. Well, come now and tell the truth. I will listen."
But Huang Zhenxing's eyes flickered and he hesitated when he spoke, obviously still hesitant.
He had to wait for Gu Junqing to scratch his hand and threaten him before he revealed everything in fear.
As for the Suzhou Mine, it was actually discovered by Yu Xihou by accident four years ago. At that time, the previous emperor was in power and Yu Xihou was still favored by the emperor, so he was allowed to come to Suzhou to escape the summer heat. After all, the weather in Suzhou has always been like spring all year round, while the capital is always hot in summer. Many ministers brought their wives and children to escape.
At that time, Huang Zhenxing had just taken office. The people of Suzhou and the people who stayed behind from the original prefect did not like him very much. He was busy with many local affairs. When he heard that Marquis Jingyuan from the capital came to Suzhou for summer vacation, he, as a prefect, naturally had to do his best to entertain him well.
As if he could see the dilemma of Yu Xihou, the new prefect, being unwelcome in Suzhou, he was very generous and offered him advice. All along, he just said that he had nothing to do and couldn't bear to help him because he wanted to.
Before Huang Zhenxing was appointed as the prefect of Suzhou, he was only a minor official. By chance, he once saved the imperial concubine Yu, who was favored by the emperor at that time. Because it was autumn hunting at that time, Huang Zhenxing led people to find the imperial concubine first, so he got the prefect's position. Of course, it is undeniable that Huang Zhenxing is indeed talented. The world is prosperous and confusing, but in the past few years of mediocrity, he gradually lost his original heart and was blinded by money and rights.
They also become afraid of death and selfish.
Otherwise, after Huang Zhenxing saw Yu Er's death, Gu Junqing simply threatened him, but now he told everything to her, who would harm his master? From this, we can see what kind of person Huang Zhenxing is.
With the help of Yu Xihou, Huang Zhenxing successfully secured his position as the prefect of Suzhou. Huang Zhenxing also knew clearly that since he had received the favor of Jingyuan Hou, he must be Yu Xihou's man and become his aide.
When Yu Xihou was about to leave, he happened to be leading people hunting in the deep mountains and forests, in order to catch a bear, and then give the bear skin to Yu Xihou as a gift. After all, in Da Qi, cloaks made of bear skin are beautiful and exquisite, and are deeply loved by aristocratic families.
He did find the bear, but the bear ran too fast. While chasing the bear, he saw it go into a cave, so he ordered several people to go in and catch it. However, in the end, no one knew where the bear ran and it just ran away. Huang Zhenxing was so angry that he went into the cave himself.
However, after entering the cave, he smelled something wrong, so he spontaneously walked towards the wall and reached out to touch it.
At this time, Huang Zhenxing certainly recognized what this thing was. After all, the emperor kept talking about the rich mineral resources in the neighboring country, but Da Qi had to pay for it from other countries. After all, this kind of ore can be used for medicine foam. It is also one of the most important ores for making gunpowder.
At this time Huang Zhenxing also knew that he had to inform the emperor about this matter. Thinking of Yu Xihou who was about to leave, he somehow told him first.
After that, which is now, Yu Xihou did not inform the late emperor at that time, and asked Huang Zhenxing not to tell anyone that he could give him power as well as money and beauty.
