Han Yiling laughed sarcastically as she spoke. "My eldest brother is courting death, yet he's trying to drag his entire family down with him. He even... fantasizes about going to the capital to file a complaint. How naive and ridiculous. I'm much smarter than he is. In fact, I've already taken refuge with Lord Liang. These days, my eldest brother's every move, as well as Fan Qingming's, have been well within the grasp of Lord Liang and his men."

Sure enough, it was her.

Gu Yanqing stood aside with a cold look in his eyes. The Lord Liang that Han Yiling mentioned should be Liang Tai, the prefect of Yuzhou.

"So, there is no account book at all?"

Gu Yanqing spoke again. The reason why he had been patiently accompanying Han Yiling to act out the play until now was naturally because he wanted the evidence left by Han Song.

Hearing Gu Yanqing's question, Han Yiling raised her eyebrows in disdain: "It's already this hour, and you're still thinking about taking the account book, Prime Minister Gu? I might as well tell you the truth, the account book does exist, but... only my eldest brother knows where it is."

Han Song never revealed the whereabouts of those account books until his death...

But it doesn't matter now.

Han Song is dead, the witness is gone, and no one knows the whereabouts of those account books anymore. So... the physical evidence is also gone.

more importantly……

tonight.

Gu Yanqing will die here, silently.

"Minister Gu, actually... I really don't want you to die. Unfortunately, Lord Liang won't spare your life. And Fan Qingming will go down to accompany you soon."

Han Yiling looked at Gu Yanqing with complicated eyes. It was such a pity that such a perfect man died like this.

But she had no choice. In order to survive, she could even sacrifice her eldest brother's family, let alone a man she just met?

Han Yiling is a selfish woman, but at the same time she is very rational. Tempted by Gu Yanqing's beauty, she even wavered for a moment, but soon she calmed down.

Yuzhou is the territory of Lord Liang and his people. Gu Yanqing is here, but he is just...

Others are the butchers and he is the meat!

"Ah."

In the desolate night, Gu Yanqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly chuckled. He slowly raised his eyes, looked at the people holding torches around him, and suddenly asked, "Are these people here today the murderers who killed Han Song's family in broad daylight?"

Hearing Gu Yanqing's question, Han Yiling glanced at him in confusion, but still replied, "Yes, it's them. Why, Minister Gu, are you still going to judge them here?"

Han Yiling found it a little ridiculous. Even if Gu Yanqing knew some kung fu, how could he defeat so many people alone?

The people in this yard are all elite soldiers under Lord Liang. They are highly skilled in martial arts and are fearless of death!

Their original plan was to kill Han Song's family first to anger Gu Yanqing, and then let Han Yiling use the beauty trap or the alienation tactic to lure Gu Yanqing here alone.

What they want to do is to make Gu Yanqing disappear from this world quietly...

Even if Emperor Jianping investigated the matter later, he would not be able to find a single piece of evidence.

What's more, if Gu Yanqing died, it would benefit many people, and most of the officials in the capital would be eager for him to die.

**

"very good."

Hearing Han Yiling's words, Gu Yanqing nodded with satisfaction, then casually drew out the long sword he carried with him.

Seeing Gu Yanqing move, the people around him also moved the next moment!

Cold and terrifying murderous intent came from all directions in an instant, but Gu Yanqing remained calm. He just raised his eyebrows slightly, and the next moment, he swung the long sword with him in a dashing manner, drawing blood... and sealing the throat!

The blood in the sky was intertwined with the moonlight.

That slender and handsome figure seemed to transform into a bloodthirsty Shura in an instant. Wherever he went, blood and flesh flew everywhere and wailing continued.

Han Yiling, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded. She looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, and her body subconsciously kept backing away.

This...this is impossible.

"You...how did you..."

How could Gu Yanqing be so powerful!

Where is the scholar who was promised to be upright and righteous?

Han Yiling's face was full of fear, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, but when she just ran to the gate of the yard, a familiar figure blocked her way.

"Fan...Brother Fan?"

Han Yiling looked at Fan Qingming and the people behind him with a pale face. None of them were missing, and no one was dead.

All of a sudden, she understood everything.

"So... he has been doubting me since the beginning."

Han Yiling muttered to herself, then suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing had just killed the last person at this time, and the sword was still dripping with blood.

"Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang, I was also forced. I just want to live. Is it a sin to want to live?"

Han Yiling smiled sadly, crying as she laughed. She knew she couldn't escape, so she could only walk step by step to Gu Yanqing, raised her misty eyes, and looked at him pitifully: "I can help you deal with Lord Liang. He trusts me very much. As long as you don't kill me and let me do something for you, I... I can do anything."

As she spoke, Han Yiling raised her slender fingers and unbuttoned the first button on her lapel.

"I do not need."

Gu Yanqing spoke coldly, and the sword in his hand pointed at Han Yiling's throat again.

He had been suspicious of her since the first time he saw her.

The people in Yuzhou have always been ruthless and inhumane. They are used to wiping out the roots and would not even let a child go. How could they let Han Song's sister go?

The yard was so small that even if she hid in the cellar, she would be found and killed.

And she... was intact.

So, from the very beginning, Han Yiling was acting.

And Gu Yanqing just cooperated with her and finished the play.

"The moonlight is nice tonight."

Gu Yanqing looked up at the moon in the sky, then turned his gaze to Han Yiling's face: "Where is Liang Tai tonight?"

"If you let me go, I'll tell..."

Han Yiling wanted to say something, but the next moment, the cold sword cut her throat.

"I hate it when people bargain with me."

Gu Yanqing whispered coldly.

Under Gu Yanqing's sword, there is no distinction between men and women, adults and children.

His sword... can cut down everything in the world.

As long as he thinks someone deserves to be killed, even if it's a woman, he won't show any mercy.

In Gu Yanqing's view, all evil in this world is innate and never distinguishes between men, women, young and old.

"Master Prime Minister."

Fan Qingming quickly walked up to Gu Yanqing and reported in a low voice, "Everything is just as you expected. There's an ambush in the yard, but we've cleared it. Also, before nightfall, I followed your instructions and quietly sent people out to investigate. Sure enough... from the moment we disembarked from the dock until we reached Dicheng, all traces of our progress were quietly wiped out. They want to completely erase all traces of you in Yuzhou, and then, here, kill you!"

It seems that Lord Liang is not only extremely bold, but also very careful in his actions.
