Gu Zheng was wearing mourning clothes. When he heard the angry narration of housekeeper Xiao Zhang, he immediately knew that this was the enemy who forced his father to death.

How dare you come to ask for someone?

"I will definitely go to the imperial court to file a complaint. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone too far!" Gu Zheng's eyes were red.

He was not even twenty years old yet, and he was the only child left to support the eldest branch of the Bo's family.

The common people were very sympathetic and angry.

The prince is so shameless. He forced his old uncle to death, and before his body is even cold, he still dares to come and ask for his concubine.

Even among ordinary people, there is no such thing as bullying others!

Gu Shaoyu looked at Shi Xiu and all the pressure in his body was released. The smile on Shi Xiu's cheeks froze and the flesh on his cheekbones trembled involuntarily. He wanted to walk, but his legs were weak.

"What do you want to do with the women in the mansion?" Gu Shaoyu asked majestically.

"She is a technician in the Prince's Mansion. Well, she hasn't been on duty for a few days. Let's go home and ask her."

"What kind of technician? What kind of things are they making? Does she have to be the one?"

"This, well, is the women's crafts..."

Shi Xiu didn't dare to say that she was developing weapons, but ordinary women only knew a little bit of red.

This makes the prince seem extremely shameless.

What kind of craft could make the prince force an earl to death just to take it over?

Gu Shaoyu's face darkened, and he said, "Does the prince think that there is no one in the Bo's Mansion? He actually disregarded the reputation of the Bo's Mansion and acted arrogantly and humiliated the Bo's Mansion without any scruples!

Come, give these slaves a good beating, to comfort my brother's spirit in heaven."

Nanxing Beichen immediately brought the palace soldiers, pinned Shi Xiu to the gate, and beat him with sticks.

Shi Xiu screamed like a chicken being killed by pinching the neck, and the people on half the street felt their scalps tingling!

All the guards who came with Shi Xiu were pinned down and beaten severely.

Nanxing and Beichen are both much more powerful than the generals. After being beaten with a stick, Shi Xiu and the guards were covered in blood and their breath was mostly exhaled rather than taken in.

The coachman from the Prince's Mansion was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.

Gu Shaoyu asked the driver to take everyone back and said to him, "Go back and tell the prince that I want to impeach the prince for forcibly seizing the concubine of the Earl's Mansion and forcing the Earl of Pingyang to death."

The driver was so frightened that he pissed himself and went back quickly.

Butler Xiao Zhang and Gu Zheng both knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Shaoyu, crying and saying, "Master, the death of the uncle was so unjust and tragic, you must avenge him."

Gu Shaoyu didn't ask them to get up, nor did he make any promises.

He has to face the prince, and behind the prince is the Wei family. He has little chance of winning, but he can't just let it go.

Xie Zhaozhao also heard the commotion here. She had been helping to arrange the funeral at the Bo's house for the past two days.

Although there was no trace of Gu Boyu's body, he definitely did not die silently like Tu.

Gu Shaoyu pinned Shi Xiu down at the gate of Bo's house and beat him up. Xie Zhaozhao knew that Gu Shaoyu was angry.

After he beat Shi Xiu and his gang and said those words, Xie Zhaozhao decided to have a frank talk with Gu Shaoyu.

They must prevent the prince from taking desperate measures.

"Husband, I have something to say to you alone." Xie Zhaozhao looked at Gu Shaoyu with some seriousness.

Gu Shaoyu said: "Let's talk about it when we get home."

The two took a carriage back to Qingpu Garden and entered the last courtyard on the island in the middle of the lake.

It is also the most confidential courtyard.

"Zhao Zhao, just tell me what's the matter!" Gu Shaoyu said calmly, but with a little hope, hoping that she could trust him completely.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Gu Shaoyu seriously. The other party was a high-ranking elder, but in front of her, his eyes were clear and looked very harmless.

"Gu Shaoyu, there is something I want to tell you frankly."

"Well, you said."

"Before his death, Uncle came to Qingpu Garden. In order to protect the entire Gu family, I told Uncle about Aunt Yue's origins."

Gu Shaoyu: "What is Aunt Yue's background?"

"Mrs. Yue's maiden name is Tu Qianyue, which is a pseudonym."

"Her name was registered in Ouyang last year, and she was said to be the lost daughter of the Tu family."

"She is not Gu Chengyan's cousin, but the daughter of Guan Shanyue. She is the first case of confiscation of property and exile that you tried. She is the eldest daughter of the Guan family and the lucky star of Daqian predicted by the monk Yuan Zhen twenty years ago. Her real name is Guan Yingying."

"..."

"When the crime happened, she was still young and not the main culprit. It's normal that you didn't pay attention to her. Gu Chengyan kept this a secret, but Madam Tu knew that she was a fugitive."

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyebrows, "Guan Yingying is not only a fugitive, but also claims to be from a thousand years later. Whether it is true or not, I am not sure. But Gu Chengyan harbored the fugitive, and Guan Yingying used the elixir to control the prince. Both are crimes that will destroy the family and will be exposed sooner or later. So I exchanged opinions with the uncle, and Aunt Yue must not be kept."

Gu Shaoyu nodded, and instantly knew what Xie Zhaozhao wanted to talk to him about.

Aunt Yue and Gu Chengyan have both committed heinous crimes, enough to wipe out their entire clans, so naturally, neither of them can be kept alive.

Because she told Gu Boyu the truth, Gu Boyu figured out the situation and ordered his men to beat Guan Yingying to death and then took Gu Chengyan to commit suicide by burning himself.

Thinking of Gu Boyu's tragic death, Xie Zhaozhao burst into tears.

Gu Shaoyu reached out from across the desk, held her hand, and comforted her, "You don't have to blame yourself. Brother has fulfilled the responsibilities of an uncle. His death has nothing to do with you. Brother wrote me a letter that is basically consistent with your guess."

He handed Gu Boyu's suicide note to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao still shed tears when she read the last few sentences: "If His Majesty and the Crown Prince want to exterminate the nine clans of the Gu family, you tell His Majesty that you are just your father's adopted child..."

The prodigal son returns, but unfortunately there is no shore!

After closing the letter, Xie Zhaozhao looked at Gu Shaoyu seriously.

"If you look closely, you really don't look much like Uncle and the others," Xie Zhaozhao said softly, "and you don't look like the old lady or the Gu family."

Gu Shaoyu said: "When the old marquis was alive, no one questioned my appearance. I was detained in the mansion before the age of three, and in Xie's private school after the age of three. After the old marquis passed away, I left the capital and returned to take the imperial examination at the age of seventeen. I have never appeared in front of people in the capital."

In the past, Gu Chengyan imitated Gu Shaoyu in everything, and to outsiders, it seemed that they were in the same vein, but when you think about their styles of doing things, they are completely different.

"Gu Chengyan seems to be imitating you in everything?"

"Yes, I know he imitates me!"

Little did they know that Gu Chengyan's imitation of the old man made the people of Kyoto believe that they were indeed uncle and nephew.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "I told you about Guan Yingying's past today because I wanted to say that the prince must have recognized Guan Yingying. After all, the prince paid a lot of attention to this lucky star in Daqian.

The reason why he didn't expose her identity and Gu Chengyan was that he had the fatal handle on Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying and used her special skills to create a secret weapon; another point is that knowing that Gu Chengyan was harboring a fugitive means that he can keep the Bo Mansion, especially you, Gu Shaoyu, in his hands forever.

Guan Yingying is extremely important to the prince. If the news of her death reaches the prince's ears, even if the Lord has passed away, he will definitely take revenge on the Lord's Mansion, and we will not be able to escape."

"Then I will take revenge on him before he does anything. The prince forced the uncle to death, we can't just let it go like this." Gu Shaoyu said lightly.

Isn't the prince eager to find Guan Yingying? He is simply addicted to drugs and cannot do without the panacea. Then, continue to give him the medicine!
