The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

The Liyue Mission Inn is still the same house.

A man in a black cloak stood in a dark corner. Xiao Li's voice was tinged with anger: "Does Lord Baili really intend to cede more territory?"

"Yes! Daxia gave them only three days. In order to appease Daxia's anger, Baili Gongshu was prepared to cede territory."

"No! We can't let them succeed!"

Xiao Li waved his sleeves and looked at the cloaked man with a pair of gloomy eyes: "Now that the situation has reversed, it's up to you to do it yourself!"

"I?"

The cloaked man was stunned when he heard this: "Does the prince want me to kill Baili Gongshu?"

"No!"

Xiao Li sneered and uttered two intriguing words: "Kill me!"

"Your Highness! How can this be done?"

The cloaked figure was horrified.

Xiao Li was speechless and said, "I asked you to assassinate him, but I didn't ask you to actually kill him! It's just a show...it's just a show, understand?"

"If something happens to Baili Gongshu in Daxia, although this action may cause Daxia and Beili to fall out, but with Baili Gongshu's attitude, I'm afraid Beili may swallow his anger and point the finger at me, Liyue!"

"But if this prince is assassinated, the spearhead will definitely point to Beili..."

Now that Beili is mired in a murder case, it would be reasonable for him to do something crazy again.

The most important thing is, Da Xia would never suspect that Xiao Li sent assassins to kill him, right?

Upon hearing this, the cloaked man said, "I understand! I'm going to make a bigger noise tonight!"

"No!"

Xiao Li said, "This prince will invite Gu Jing from Daxia to come to the inn tomorrow. You can find an opportunity to assassinate him then!"

"Okay! I understand!"

……

When Gu Jingzhi woke up, it was already dark, but Old Huang was still nowhere to be seen.

The premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger. I was just thinking about going out to look for him, but as soon as I stepped out of the door, I stopped.

He himself didn't know where to look.

He walked to the stone table in the yard and sat down in silence.

I don't know how much time passed, but the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and Gu Jingzhi looked up: "Old...it's you!"

It was Qu Feiyan who came back. He sat down somewhat disappointedly. Qu Feiyan came to his side silently and said, "I asked a few colleagues, but none of them knew where Old Huang was!"

When Gu Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed: "I know..."

He waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to be quiet.

Qu Feiyan looked at her with a slightly complicated expression, then silently returned to her room.

It was late at night when Gu Jingzhi stood up feeling somewhat lonely.

Since crossing over, although there has always been a hidden crisis, but with the emperor as a backer, it has been relatively smooth sailing. But today, Lao Huang disappeared, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have no one available!

He looked up at the starry sky and felt like he was just a drop in the ocean. In the vast capital city, without his official robes, he seemed to be nothing.

He walked to the gate somewhat dejectedly, slowly opened the door, and suddenly... his pupils shrank.

He ran forward a few steps quickly and saw a person crawling gently on the ground, moving forward bit by bit, right towards his home. There was a long trail of blood on the ground.

"Old Huang..."

Gu Jingzhi turned Old Huang over and saw that his body was covered with scars, his legs were obviously deformed, and blood was still oozing from the wounds.

"Ah...um...ah..."

When Old Huang heard Gu Jingzhi's voice, the muscles on his face twitched, as if he was in unbearable pain. There was a look of relief in his eyes. He just opened his mouth and a pool of blood came out of it.

Gu Jingzhi's pupils shrank, and an indescribable pain came from his heart. He felt a strong sense of dizziness and roared in an extremely suppressed and angry voice:

"Who is it! Who did this to you..."

Old Huang...had his tongue pulled out.

"Tell me, who is it!"

"Uh uh..."

Old Huang just stretched out his hand, trying to grab Gu Jingzhi's sleeve. He twitched twice with incoherent speech, and another stream of blood flowed down, staining Gu Jingzhi's hand and sleeve red.

Those hands were also broken into various shapes.

"Don't talk, don't talk! I'll take you to see a doctor... Don't talk, the pain will go away in a while..."

There was a trembling cry in his voice as he picked up Lao Huang and ran quickly in the alley.

"Uh uh..."

"Old Huang, stop talking. The young master is taking you to see a doctor..."

Old Huang whimpered twice and tried to reach out to wipe Gu Jingzhi's tears, but it seemed as if all his strength had been used up, and one hand fell down helplessly...

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi quickened his pace and shouted, "Old Huang, don't sleep, you must not sleep!"

Soon, he arrived at a clinic: "Doctor, doctor... come out quickly!"

Gu Jingzhi rushed into the clinic, and the old doctor's face changed immediately when he saw the bloody Old Huang in his arms.

"Quick, put it down..."

The old doctor didn't think much about it and took Gu Jingzhi to a small wooden bed. He just reached out to grab Lao Huang's wrist, and saw his fingers broken into various shapes, and he couldn't help but frown.

In just two breaths, the doctor turned around and said, "Young Master... he is... gone!"

"what?"

Gu Jingzhi couldn't help but take two steps back, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

"no, I can not……"

Gu Jingzhi rushed over and grabbed the old doctor's arms: "How could it be? How could it be? Doctor...you lied to me, right? Don't worry, I have money, I have life-saving medicine, I will go back and get it..."

"Son..."

The old doctor held him back: "It's too late... He has bled out all!"

"what?"

Gu Jingzhi turned around in disbelief and looked at Lao Huang: "How is it possible?"

"Sir! Forgive me for being blunt, but the person you brought here looks like he's been severely tortured. I've been practicing medicine all my life, and I've never seen anyone so cruel! Sigh..."

The old doctor shook his head and sighed.

"Severe punishment?"

Gu Jingzhi murmured something, then realized, "That's not right! He's just a servant, usually very timid! What's so cruel about him being punished like this?"

The old doctor shook his head.

According to his observation, there were countless wounds of varying sizes on Old Huang's body, as if he had been tortured to death.

"Master! Prepare for his funeral! Let him rest in peace!"

"Is there really no hope?" Gu Jingzhi asked as if in a dream.

The old doctor shook his head helplessly, then slowly disappeared behind the scenes, as if leaving space for Gu Jingzhi and Lao Huang to say goodbye.

"Old Huang..."

Gu Jingzhi was a little dazed. The memories of these past few months and the previous twenty years were intertwined.

I laughed at him for being timid, for liking to peek at the young widow, and for...

I said I wanted him to enjoy his old age. I didn't care about the master-servant relationship. I wanted to take care of him in his old age...

But he was fine yesterday, but he is gone today.

"Old Huang..."

"Don't worry, no matter who it is... I will pay him back a hundredfold or a thousandfold... I promise!"

At this moment, murderous intent flashed in Gu Jingzhi's eyes!
