I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Lai Fu was shaking, his voice trembling a little. "The house caught fire immediately. The fire was very fierce. We even locked the front and back doors with ropes from the outside to prevent them from escaping. After the fire started, Chunmu and I left the scene without any worries. But this morning, I heard that the yamen runners didn't find any bodies in the house!"

Having said that, Lai Fu raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with fear and anxiety, and he looked at Gu Tianhua, whose face suddenly became extremely ugly, with trepidation.

"You're just a complete piece of crap! You can go wrong even when I ask you to do such a simple thing!"

Gu Tianhua was furious. He suddenly stood up from his chair and kicked Lai Fu, who was kneeling on the ground. Lai Fu had no time to dodge and was hit hard by the kick. His body fell backward uncontrollably and rolled on the ground several times under the force.

He let out a series of painful screams, his voice was extremely shrill, but he did not dare to resist or dodge in the slightest. Because he knew that if he dared to dodge, it would only anger Gu Tianhua even more, and the consequences would definitely not be something he could bear.

"Master, please calm down. It's all my fault for not doing what you asked me to do. Please don't get yourself hurt by being angry. You can beat me and scold me all you want, as long as you calm down!"

Lai Fu's mouth was bleeding. He cried as he struggled to kneel on the ground, slowly moving his body closer to Gu Tianhua. At the same time, he kept slapping himself. The crisp and loud slapping echoed in the room. Soon, his face, which had been relatively handsome, became swollen and looked like a pig's head.

"Enough! Stop it!" Gu Tianhua shouted, interrupting Lai Fu's slapping. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and his eyes were full of impatience and anger.

"Go and find out what's going on! I want to see him alive or dead! Or did Gu Yunzhou never come back yesterday? If you can't get things done this time, don't come back!"

After saying this, he suddenly threw his sleeves and turned around to pace back and forth in the room, feeling extremely irritated. Lai Fu heard this and immediately stopped what he was doing, kowtowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, Master. I will go and find out the news right away." With that, he stood up and walked out.

"What are you trying to find out? What do you want to do?" At this moment, the door was pushed open forcefully from the outside, and Gu Jin walked in with a serious face, followed by two pale and trembling servants.

The two men were ordered to guard outside Gu Tianhua's door and not let anyone in, but at this moment, Gu Jin pushed the door open and walked in. Judging from Gu Tianhua's personality, they would definitely suffer the consequences afterwards.

"Dad, why are you here?" Gu Tianhua was horrified, a look of astonishment on his face, a flicker of fear in his eyes. But he still bravely said, stammering, "I... I just wanted to see if Grandma was awake so I could go and pay her my respects."

His voice was filled with guilt and nervousness, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell there was something wrong. Gu Jin ignored Gu Tianhua completely, seeing through his son's insincerity at a glance. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, staring intently at Gu Tianhua, as if trying to see through his exterior to his innermost being.

He knew very well that his son was definitely hiding something from him, and it was no small matter, otherwise he wouldn't have such a look of despair on his face. He no longer wasted time dealing with Gu Tianhua, but turned his gaze directly to Lai Fu who was kneeling beside him.

"You tell me, if you dare to hide it, I will send you on your way now. As for your family, they can accompany you!"

Gu Jin's tone was cold and ruthless, carrying an undeniable authority. Lai Fu trembled with fear, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He raised his head tremblingly, looking into Gu Jin's piercing eyes, his heart filled with fear. He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, not only would his life be in danger, but his family would also be implicated.

Gu Tianhua's face changed drastically. He glared at Lai Fu fiercely, and the panic on his face could no longer be hidden. He knew that if his father knew, he would be beaten severely.

"You don't want to tell me, right? Come on, bring his family here. Break the men's legs and throw them into the Qiongshui River to feed the fish. Sell the women to brothels!"

Gu Jin snorted coldly and gave the order without mercy. When Lai Fu heard this, his face turned pale, his body trembled continuously, and his eyes were filled with despair and regret.

"Speak!" Gu Jin suddenly shouted, his voice exploding in the air like thunder. Lai Fu could no longer bear the pressure and completely collapsed.

He banged his head desperately, his forehead hitting the ground with a dull thud, as if it was about to shatter his head. The tears on his face mixed with the blood at the corners of his mouth, flowing down, made him look extremely disheveled.

"You guys, get out first!" Gu Jin waved his hands around, signaling the servants around him to leave. As if they had been granted amnesty, the servants hurried out of the room, even closing the door carefully, not daring to leave any gaps.

"Dad, there's really nothing wrong. Lai Fu and I were just joking!"

"Shut up, Lai Fu, you know the consequences of hiding anything!" Gu Jin's face was indifferent. He turned around and sat on the chair, leisurely picking up the cup in his hand and pouring some tea into it.

Gu Tianhua stammered as he explained, trying to salvage the situation at this last moment. However, his words seemed so weak and feeble that it was hard to believe.

"My lord, I followed the Second Young Master's instructions and went to Gu Yunzhou's house yesterday..." Lai Fu knew that he could not avoid this matter. If he offended Gu Tianhua, he would at most be beaten up, and if he was lucky, he could still survive.

But if they offended Gu Jin, the whole family would be killed. This choice was not very difficult, so Lai Fu quickly gritted his teeth and told Gu Tianhua everything that had happened in the past two days. As he spoke, Gu Tianhua's face became more and more panicked, and his calves were even trembling slightly, as if he was recalling something terrible.

"Bang! Bastard, you bastard!" The cup shattered into pieces as it was thrown to the ground, several tiny pieces flying onto Gu Tianhua's hands. But he remained motionless, head bowed, as if facing a formidable enemy. His former arrogance had vanished without a trace, replaced by a look of terror and fear.
