Chapter 565 The Imperial Concubine Holding the Future Script 81

Liu Weiyue couldn't help but laugh.

"You are a scholar with backbone."

"Just now you said someone wanted to kill me, what's going on?"

Gu Jinwen recounted what he heard in the refugee shelter, and then said, "I found that there are some fake refugees among the refugees. Although they are dressed in rags, they are not very dirty. The dirt on their faces seems to be deliberately smeared. They are also different from the other pale and thin people. Although they are also thin, they are not thin because of hunger. Instead, they look like they are thin because of regular martial arts training."

"Not only that, I found that their legs were very stable when they walked, which was completely different from those who had never practiced martial arts."

"Also, the sleeves of their inner garments that were exposed when they raised their hands didn't look like the kind of fabric that ordinary people could afford."

"Plus, they have always been the ones taking advantage of the chaos among the refugees to incite people's hearts, so I guess they want to use these refugees to murder the imperial concubine."

Then he turned around and pointed at a few people in the crowd.

"If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can bring these people here to interrogate them in person."

Liu Weiyue gave an order.

"Catch those people and bring them here. I want to take a look myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, those people wanted to escape, but were stopped by the refugees around them.

"It was you who spread the rumors at the beginning, saying that the emperor didn't care about us and asked us to kidnap the imperial concubine. It was you who killed the prefect just now!"

"You can't run away. If you run away, won't we all be killed by you?"

At this point, some refugees have finally reacted.

There is something really wrong about this.

What's more, now that an official appointed by the imperial court has died, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.

They just wanted to kidnap the imperial concubine at first and didn’t intend to kill anyone, but now they are responsible for someone’s life and may very well lose their lives.

Now that the imperial concubine has already suspected someone, why not push these people out?

Adhering to the principle of "a friend's death would rather die than myself", the refugees immediately found a scapegoat.

"Your Highness, please understand. We have also been bewitched!"

"Please, Madam, give us a chance to live!"

"We have children to take care of and elderly people to take care of. We really don't want to die!"

Liu Weiyue said calmly, "Wait for me to confirm the truth. If you were really bewitched and used as a tool to kill someone, I will forgive you."

The refugees breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Imperial Concubine has a kind heart. Guanyin is still alive. Good deeds will be rewarded. She will surely live a long life!"

Liu Weiyue didn't have time to listen to their flattery, so she asked the guards to take off the men's coats.

Sure enough, although the outer clothes were tattered, the lining inside was actually clean and made of silk!

When the refugees saw this scene, they finally reacted.

“They are not refugees at all!”

When I thought about how I almost fell for their trick and made a big mistake, I felt a chill in my heart!

"They said they wanted to kidnap us, but who knows if they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill people and then let us refugees take the blame!"

Liu Weiyue did not kill these people directly, but ordered, "Lock them up to prevent them from committing suicide, torture them severely, and keep them alive. Don't let them die."

"I don't believe that I can't find the real culprit behind this."

Of course she knew the conspiracy behind this series of schemes. First there was Wu Zhong's Hongmen Banquet, and then there was the refugees' killing tactic of taking advantage of the chaos. The person who went to so much trouble to kill her was none other than Yun Wanwan.

However, there must be evidence for everything.

These people pretending to be refugees, as well as the dead Wu Zhong and the killers he sent, are all evidence.

She then said to the refugees, "You also trusted the wrong people in today's incident. I will not bother with you."

"I will say it again, the court will not let you go. If anyone says something misleading again, you can bring them here, and I will reward you handsomely!"

"Let's go back."

After the refugees dispersed, Liu Weiyue looked at the man who was still kneeling in front of her.

"What's your name?"

Gu Jinwen looked up and said, "My name is Gu Jinwen, the same as Jinwen in splendid writing."

Liu Weiyue nodded.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch those people. What reward do you want?"

Gu Jinwen did not pretend to be noble, but asked, "Does the queen still need an accountant?"

"I am not a talented person, but I have already achieved the title of a scholar and I am also quite knowledgeable in arithmetic. If your majesty does not believe me, you can ask me a few questions."

He can still tell the difference between one meal being full and another.

Now that his hometown has suffered a disaster, post-disaster reconstruction cannot be completed in a short period of time, and returning to his hometown is impossible.

He has nowhere to go now. If he can seek refuge with the imperial concubine and find a job to make a living, it will be the best option for him at the moment.

Liu Weiyue shook her head.

"I am a noble concubine and usually live in the palace. Why would I need an accountant?"

"Besides, I don't know arithmetic, so I can't test you."

"You have made great contributions. How about I reward you with some gold, silver and jewelry?"

"With these, you can also buy a house and settle down."

"Since you are already a scholar, you must be talented. If you continue to study, it will be your good fortune if you can get a job."

Gu Jinwen smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that if it weren't for your porridge today, I would have starved to death now."

"You have done me a favor, but what I have done for you is insignificant. Even if I were not here today, those refugees would not be able to harm you. How can I continue to repay you for your kindness?"

Liu Weiyue praised, "You are a smart person."

She was well prepared. Those refugees were indeed a bit tricky, but it was impossible for them to hurt her.

However, the appearance of Gu Jinwen did save her a lot of trouble and also allowed her to catch Yun Wanwan's weakness.

As long as those people are not dead, Yun Wanwan will have no way to deny that she assassinated her.

She wanted to see if Mo Huaiche would turn a blind eye to this matter this time!

What's more, now that a court official has died, the matter has become a big deal. It won't be long before everyone in the court knows that Yun Wanwan assassinated her.

"I can't bear to see a smart person starve to death in vain."

"That's all."

"Since you don't want gold, silver, or jewelry, you can stay with me as a guard for the time being. You can also learn from the other guards around me. Even if you are a scholar, it will not hurt to learn some martial arts."

Gu Jinwen was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Madam Concubine!"

Liu Weiyue didn't even look at him again and turned away.

After so much trouble today, she was tired.

Xiaoyu ate something from the banquet last night and was unconscious the whole night.

When she woke up, she only knew what happened last night from what the guards, who she got along well with, told her.

She hurriedly ran to Liu Weiyue, tears streaming down her face.

"My lady, I am useless. You have clearly warned me to be careful, but I still ate the food at the banquet. I deserve to die!"

Liu Weiyue said, "It's okay if you fainted. If you didn't faint, I would worry about whether there was a tacit understanding between you and me, so I let you pretend to faint."

She tested the poison with a silver needle and found out that the food and pastries were not poisonous, but at most they were drugs, so she gave a piece to Xiaoyu.

When acting, you have to do it in full and make it realistic.
