Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 114: The Dark Wizard

"Sanlang, you should think like this. As long as Prince An trusts us, as long as we want, Prince An will be the next emperor."

Gu Qiongsi's words suddenly echoed in his ears again. This woman is not an ordinary woman. Maybe she really has a way.

Thinking of this, Xie Cheng'an turned his gaze to Qian again. She was also looking at him nervously at this moment, constantly shaking her head at him.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally fell silent. This was considered as his tacit agreement with Gu Qiongsi's words. He pointed out Gu Qiongsi in order to protect Qian.

"Do you know this man named Shuangrui? We found him at Chunxiu's home in Liuzhou. At that time, he was sneaking into Chunxiu's home and trying to attack her mother and brother." Deputy General Niu asked, pointing at Shuangrui whose mouth was stuffed.

Xie Chengan lowered his head even lower and whispered, "That's my servant."

"He ran to Chunxiu's house overnight, but why?"

"..." Xie Cheng'an was unable to answer this question, so he simply kept silent. There were loopholes everywhere, so it would be better not to say anything.

Gu Qiongsi looked at him like this, and then glanced at Deputy General Niu, and had to speak up, "Sir, it was my intention. I sent a message home and asked my husband to send someone to Chunxiu's house to take a look."

"Oh, really? Go on, what are you going to see at Chunxiu's house?"

"Chunxiu is my maid after all. She did such a rebellious thing behind my back, causing me to be imprisoned. The more I think about it in prison, the more suffocated I feel. So I asked my husband to find someone to teach them a lesson."

Gu Qiongsi gnashed her teeth and said, but she immediately added, "However, I regretted it as soon as I delivered the letter. Fortunately, you arrived in time and no irreversible consequences were caused."

"Chunxiu is missing and we didn't find her, but it's obvious that she is just a maid, where did she get the money to buy such an expensive poison?" Deputy General Niu continued to ask slowly.

"I don't know about this, but she has indeed been a little out of shape recently. She seems to be different from before, but I can't tell what's different." Gu Qiongsi was still thinking seriously.

At this point, Deputy General Niu had to admire Gu Qiongsi's acting skills and lying ability from the bottom of his heart. He was very difficult to deal with even when things were unreasonable.

Yan Nangui's eyes were also directed at Gu Qiongsi. "The potion used on Madam Xie Gu Xunwei is colorless and tasteless. It comes from outside the country and is called Wuhen Jin. It is the same poison used by Master Gu. I wonder if Madam Gu has heard of the wizard Mingluo?"

When Gu Qiongsi heard the words "Mingluo Wizard", she raised her head nervously to look at Yan Nangui, then quickly lowered her head and said in horror, "No, I don't know. I have never heard of it."

"I guess Aunt Gu has never heard of him, so I invited him here today." Yan Nangui sneered and waved his hand to let Deputy General Niu pull a skinny old man in.

The man had gray, disheveled hair, and his clothes were filthy and colorless. Not only were they dirty, they were also badly torn. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as naked.

He was mumbling some strange words, as if he was scolding Lieutenant General Niu for his rudeness. After being pulled in, Yan Nangui changed his just sitting posture like a mountain, stood up from the chair, and walked towards him step by step.

"Wizard Mingluo, right?" he asked in a deep voice.

The old man continued to mumble, as if he didn't understand what he said at all.

So, Yan Nangui walked to a place only one step away from him, lifted up his left sleeve, revealing an exquisite sleeve arrow, and carefully began to wipe it with his right sleeve.

Since the old man saw the sleeve arrow, he stopped talking and backed away in fear until he bumped into Lieutenant General Niu behind him, and then he was forced to stop.

Xie Chengan looked up and saw that under the old man's messy hair, one of his eyes was blind, but it was usually blocked by his hair and could not be noticed at all.

"Tell me, Wizard Mingluo, don't you want your other eye either?" Yan Nangui seemed to be reminding the other party kindly, but the tone made the old man tremble.

"I, I said, I said, you take that thing away." The old man finally spoke, no longer speaking in the "gibberish" language, but in the somewhat clumsy Da Chu language.

"Yes, that's right." Yan Nangui put down his left hand, and his sleeve covered the arrow tightly.

"What...what do you want to know?" the old man asked in horror.

After looking around, he finally saw Gu Qiongsi kneeling on the ground, and immediately understood.

"About the Traceless Poison." Deputy General Niu gave a brief reminder.

"Few people know about that thing, and only two people have purchased it." Wizard Mingluo licked his dry lips. He just collected money to buy medicine, and there was no need for him to risk his life to keep it secret for them.

"Because that kind of medicine has a very rare raw material, I rarely make it normally. It's always when someone asks for it and they provide the raw materials for me to make it."

He also briefly explained, and then said, "One is this lady, she bought two copies, and the other is a man in black, who bought it about five years ago."

Gu Qiongsi immediately waved his hands and shouted in horror, "No, no, it's not me. You must have made a mistake. I have never seen you before."

Yan Nangui raised his left hand again, with the cuff of his hand facing the wizard Mingluo, which frightened him so much that he quickly said, "I won't make a mistake. It must be her. She saved my life three years ago, so I know her name is Gu Qiongsi. Her ancestral home is in Liuzhou. I even know her family."

His life was at stake, so he had no time to care about the life-saving grace. The most important thing was to save his own life first.

"No, no, this is a frame-up, this must be a frame-up, someone must have asked him to frame me, sir, you have to be careful." Gu Qiongsi kept waving his hands, terrified beyond words.

She behaved just like a person who was framed. People who didn't know her would definitely not believe that her expressions were all fake.

"Wizard Mingluo, you can't just make empty statements. The accusation is against this Madam Gu, but do you have any evidence? Even a witness will do." Deputy General Niu spoke again.

"This... is such a secret matter, there may be no witnesses. As for the evidence..." Wizard Mingluo lowered his head in thought, as if he was recalling something.

Suddenly he slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly, "Yes, yes, I have evidence."
