Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

yamen

Liu Yanyan leaned on the chair behind the desk. When she heard the noise behind her, she said calmly, "Liu Wu, how is the matter going? Is it handled? No one found out, right?"

Liu Wu said respectfully, "As expected by the princess, I had just chopped off Gu Beiming's head when Gu Beichen's men arrived. It was Aunt Zhao who was by the old lady's side. I took advantage of the situation and killed her as well without being discovered."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "I didn't expect that Aunt Zhao would still follow Gu Beichen! She is loyal, but it's a pity that she followed the wrong person."

Liu Wu took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, handed it to the princess and said, "This was found on Nanny Zhao. It was probably used to save Gu Beiming. I haven't opened it yet. Please take a look, Princess."

Liu Yanyan was cautious and did not reach out to take it. She looked at the medicine bottle and said calmly, "Well, take it down and let the doctor check it. What kind of medicine is this? Report back after checking. If it is poison, it will be bad."

Liu Wu then put the medicine bottle into his sleeve, and was startled. He said respectfully, "I obey your command. It was my fault for not considering it carefully. I will take it to check immediately."

Yanyan raised her eyes, looked at Liu Wu quietly and said, "You did a great job this time." Then she took out a silver note of 100 taels from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Wu, "This is a reward for you. You should keep it well and save it so that you can marry a good girl in the future."

Liu Wu took the banknote and put it in his sleeve. He did not dare to look up at the princess. He bowed and thanked her respectfully, "Thank you for the reward, princess. Thank you for the reward, princess."

Liu Yanyan waved indifferently in response, and he then walked over to the side and stood guard.

Liu Yanyan thought of Nanny Zhao mentioned by Liu Wu, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "It's a pity that I missed this old fisherman's wife. She lived a comfortable life. Gu Beichen is really amazing. Even though he has fallen to this point, he can still force Nanny Zhao to help him save people. I don't know if the prince has arrested Gu Beichen. If Gu Beichen knew that his brother was really dead, would he go crazy and reveal his true colors?" She rubbed her fingers lightly, showing a bit of irritability.

Liu Yanyan was secretly proud of herself. Thinking of the medicine Liu Wu had just obtained, she couldn't help but ask, "Liu Wu, when you found Gu Beiming, what was the condition of his body? Was he dead? What would it be like if he was saved?"

Liu Wu said respectfully, "Princess, when I saw Gu Beiming's body, there was not a single piece of good skin on his body. His face was covered in black blood, and in some places the bones were exposed. It was very scary, and he didn't look like a living person at all. Even if he could survive, it would be better to die directly."

Liu Yanyan gritted her teeth and said, "Did you find that medicine on Aunt Zhao?"

"Yes princess."

Liu Yanyan raised her lips slightly and said, "Gu Beichen is calculating to the extreme. I'm afraid he wants to drag a few people to take the blame for Gu Beiming. Has Madam Zhao's body been dealt with?"

Liu Wu said, "Princess, the body has been eaten clean by wild wolves. It shouldn't be possible for anyone to find out anything."

Liu Yanyan looked at Liu Wu and said seriously, "This kind of thing has to be done absolutely. The word "should" should not appear. Go to Butler Zhou to get the corpse-dissolving water and clean up the body. Don't let anyone find out that you were the one who did it. Also, don't open the medicine. Take it to the doctor and let him check it carefully. Even if he finds that it is not poisonous, don't take it. If there is a problem, it will not be worth it."

Liu Wu then nodded and said, "I am useless. I have caused you, Princess, to worry. I will take care of it right away."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly and watched Liu Wu leave. She felt even more despicable towards Gu Beichen. He actually used her brother's corpse to set up a trap. That was cruel and his calculations were thorough enough. She almost fell for it.

Mass grave

Liu Wu rode back to the palace, asked Butler Zhou for the medicine powder, and then galloped to the mass grave.

It was already getting dark, the shadows of the trees were stretched like ghostly tentacles, and the scattered bones were creepy.

Liu Wu was walking in the woods next to the mass grave. He felt the chilly wind and felt uneasy. From time to time, he heard cracking sounds under his feet, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace. When he came to the familiar earth pit, he didn't see the bodies of the two people. His heart tightened, thinking that no one had been here before! It would be troublesome if they were taken away.

He forced himself to calm down, then thought that maybe a wild wolf had taken them away. He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and began to search around the surroundings bit by bit.

Behind a mound of dirt a few dozen meters away, I found the bloody remains of Zhao Mama. I endured the nausea and sprinkled the powder on the body bit by bit. I watched the body disappear bit by bit, and I was shocked. “This powder is too strong. I can’t get it on my hands.”

As the sky was getting darker and the wind was getting colder, he became more nervous. He found Gu Beiming's remains a few hundred meters away, poured medicine powder on them, and left.

He searched in the woods and mass graves for several hours, his heart numb. The last body was found outside a wolf pack.

Looking at the stump, he felt annoyed. "These wolves are really something. They don't know how to stay away. They are wasting time. I have been away from the princess for so long. Will the princess be in danger? Can they protect the princess?"

Liu Wu looked at the body fragments right next to the leader wolf and felt even more helpless. He threw a stone, trying to lure the wolves away, but the wolves under the tree lay motionless, only moving their ears slightly, which annoyed him.

Liu Wu's face was full of irritation. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the wolves did not move, which made him feel helpless. He did not want to face a group of wolves alone. He did not want to take the risk. The risk was too great.

"What's the way to lure them away?"

He felt around his body and found a tinder. Then he came up with a bad idea and threw the tinder onto the tree next to the wolf leader.

There were piles of fallen leaves under the tree, and black smoke started to rise.

The leader wolf then stood up and howled, "Ah-woo, Ah-woo-woo." The other wolves also howled in response and followed the leader wolf and walked quickly.

At this time, more than a dozen wolves turned around, looking at him with pairs of green eyes, as if they could see him.

Liu Wu felt frightened and waited for the wolves to go far away before he jumped down from the tree, stamped out the fire starter, pushed away the leaves nearby, and let the remaining leaves burn.

He walked to the last piece of body, took out the corpse powder, poured it on it, and watched the corpse turn into water before he felt relieved.

"Now there is no evidence and no one can trace me! Mission accomplished."

When Liu Wu saw that the fire on the leaves next to him had gone out, he jumped up a tree and used the branches to leave the woods next to the mass grave.

When I was leaving, I saw a group of yamen runners from afar walking towards the mass grave, in a hurry and not knowing what they were looking for.

Seeing this, Liu Wu left in a hurry, not daring to stay for even a second. He didn't relax until he got back to the city. He sighed in his heart, "Fortunately, the princess found the problem, otherwise I would have been arrested this time. It's easy to get into the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but it's hard to get out. Everyone who walks out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice will lose a layer of skin!"
