C50 The Reason for Revenge

The woman said calmly, "King Lyi, I do not know what you are talking about, nor do I know the Mu Haiyang you are talking about. Besides, since I, the dignified Madam Gu, dare to admit to killing someone, do I still care about having another one? "

What she said was indeed reasonable. Since she had already admitted to killing people, it was for personal enmity. Then, even if she admitted to killing one, it would still be killing, and killing two would also be killing. But how could she admit something that she did not know?

Lyi Xuanzhi had doubts in his heart. He stared at her calm eyes without hiding anything. Perhaps things were not that simple. He continued to ask, "Madam Gu? The Heimu Poison is yours?"

"Yes!" He replied.

"Then why did you kill Boss Quan? And why did you kill Lin and Gu?"

He smiled and said, "So King Lyi is a person who likes to listen to stories."

When Lyi Xuanzhi heard her words, he felt a little disgusted. He looked at the tea on the table and said," You were already waiting for this king! "

Madam Gu actually started to laugh. "As she said, you are too smart!" She continued, "I have already gotten my revenge. Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for sending me on my last journey." Without any warning, she had already collapsed. It turned out that she had already taken the poison and was only waiting for the right time. However, there were still many questions that Lyi Xuanzhi did not know about. Before she could react, black and red blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth. She had gone very peacefully. There was not a trace of pain, nor was there a trace of regret.

Lyi Xuanzhi let out a slight sigh. He did not want to know why she had killed them. His guess was just a personal grudge. He would hand it over to the local officer. He could find out anything, even if you stole a few people. Don't underestimate the ability of the local officials. Because they have a large group of people. If you don't want people to know, don't do it!

Let Lian Kong and the others hand over the corpses to the officials. This suicide case can be considered to have been solved. The final summary report that needed to be written would be their problem. When Qingsi saw the soldiers carrying Madam Gu's corpse, she cried non-stop and struggled to go forward and hug her corpse. Lyi Xuanzhi. He waved his hand and let her go.

He cried, "Madam, why did you die for Qingsi? The ones who betrayed you were the Lin and Gu families, why did you die for them... " It seemed that Qingsi knew more than that. Lyi Xuanzhi called for Lian Kong, whispered a few words, and rode his horse away.

Lian Kong very politely let go of Qingsi and said, "Your wife, your Royal Highness will give a proper burial. Please follow me back to the residence. Your Highness will tell you about the matter." This was only to appease her, to let her reveal more secrets. In exchange for what happened before Madam Gu died in the bamboo house, in exchange for the secrets that Qingsi knew... And Qingsi could still be alive. This was a very good deal, so naturally, Qingsi was willing. She was only willing to know about what happened before Madam's death.

One after the other, they returned to King Lyi's mansion.

Lyi Jiazhi was still searching for Mu Haiyang, who had disappeared last night. He was in the main hall interrogating the guards who were on night duty yesterday. He ordered the others to find out where she was and to find out where she was staying. When Lyi Xuanzhi returned from outside the door, he no longer had the respect and joy he had before. In his heart, he was more or less standing on Mu Haiyang's side because of yesterday's incident.

The atmosphere was in a deadlock for a while, and Lyi Xuanzhi deliberately sent him away and said, "Today is the last day of the Flower Lantern Meeting. I heard that there are three questions that have yet to be solved in Yuanxiang Building. Aren't you going to take a look?" Seeing that he wanted to let him go, he did not mind. It just so happened that he could personally go and find Mu Haiyang. Without saying anything, he swaggered off.

He sighed again. Once this matter was settled, everything would be fine. Coincidentally, when he returned with his black hair, he bumped into Lyi Jiazhi, who had gone out the door. Qingsi exchanged a glance with him and found that he was beyond redemption. This was a feeling she had never felt before. There was a sense of familiarity. After being stunned for a moment, she returned to her senses and caught up with Lian Kong.

Taking her to the side hall, Li Xuanxin said, "This King will ask you a few questions and then tell Madam about it." Seeing her nod, he continued, "Your Madam has a grudge with the Lin and Gu families. Why did you kill Boss Quan?"

"Because he deserves to die!" Qingsi said hatefully.

"What do you mean?" Lyi Xuanzhi sat leisurely and drank his tea.

Silky Yin told him everything. It turned out that Madam Gu was Gu Xueshi's original wife. The two of them were very lovey-dovey. They had a son. Later on, because Master Gu married a concubine, this was normal. But this concubine often tortured her, causing the second child she was carrying to slip away. She also did not do simple things outside, giving birth to her current daughter. She also blamed the madam for not following the wife's orders outside and asked the scholar to divorce her. This matter should have been over by now. Who knew that she would go all out and kill the madam's only son? In her grief, the madam joined an organization and only wanted revenge.

This mysterious organization had helped Madam find out that the daughter of this concubine was not Scholar Gu's daughter at all. Instead, it was her and Minister Lin's illegitimate child. Furthermore, she had conspired with the Lin Residence to plot against the Gu Residence, wanting Scholar Gu to be demoted in the Imperial Court. Killing his wife's son was also a conspiracy with Minister Lin. Thus, his wife first created a conflict between the Lin and Gu families, and then learned that her daughter was on good terms with Sir Lin. That was why she poisoned them and made them go to the rain and clouds together. In shame, she told them about the relationship between them, as well as the effect of the poison, that both of them had hallucinated and committed suicide.

To put it bluntly, this was a long-planned revenge that caused her to have no children. It also allowed you to experience the consequences of having no children.

"What does this have to do with Boss Quan?" Lyi Xuanzhi asked, puzzled.

Boss Quan always has ideas about Madam. Madam has already taught him lantern techniques. He wants Heimu again, and I'm afraid that he will come to the mountain again and again. It will cause unnecessary trouble... That's why I killed him and let Madam stay in the mountain in peace. Madam didn't know. Usually, I knocked him out and sent him away through the secret passage, so everything was the same as usual. Until I was captured by Lian Kong and Madam saw that I didn't return. It's time to dismiss the others and wait for you to come. It was I who harmed Madam... " As he spoke, he started crying again in his heart.

"Then did the lanterns sold by the head of Tian Quan add Heimu?" Lyi Xuanzhi asked the key question.

"No! Only the two lanterns were there. He specifically ordered them to be sold to the Lin and Gu residences. " Silky stopped crying.

No? Then how did he and Haiyang plant the poison in the alley? There must be someone else who targeted Madam Gu. If he found a scapegoat, that person would be able to stay out of it and be a spectator. They would wait for this side to fight to the death so that a fisherman could benefit from it. It was obvious that they had successfully instigated their relationship. Was that person targeting Mu Haiyang or himself? He could not figure it out.

"What mysterious organization?" he asked.

"I don't know. Madam never said much. "She shook her head.

She then asked curiously, "Why didn't you seek revenge from the concubine's room?"

" Dead! " Silky Hair angrily replied: "We can't let her bastard child live freely in the Gu residence." After that, she calmed down and said: "Silky has followed Madam for more than ten years, I hope the Royal Highness will tell..."

Knowing what she was asking, he said: "Madam told me to let you go and let you stay in the residence. She would be at ease if she were to do things for This King. Furthermore, she had gotten her revenge and left peacefully. This King will properly bury Madam. Are you willing to stay? If you are unwilling, this King shall also allow Madam Nuo to let you go." Actually, this was Lyi Xuanzhi who had lied to Qingsi. He had already made up his mind in his heart. If it was an unforgivable crime, he would not let her go. If it was understandable, he would let her go. Leaving her behind was one way to explain to Mu Haiyang, and the other way was to be safer outside with him. It was also to let go of Madam's wish.

When Qingsi heard these words, her face was filled with doubt and sadness. She did not think that her Ladyship would think of her before she died. She nodded her head and sobbed silently.

"Lian Kong, take Qingsi away!" He instructed her because he still had unfinished business to attend to.
