Hearing his daughter's shrill screams, his scalp went numb. He felt helpless and sad, and wished he could take her own life instead.
He couldn't sleep at night for a long time. Whenever he closed his eyes, his daughter's broken body and shrill screams echoed in his ears.
"Then who says your daughter is ignorant? She is lucky that Brother Huan likes her. I promised that as long as she gives birth to a big fat boy for Brother Huan, I will raise her as my aunt. She is in such a blessed state.
You don't know your blessings. You are the sons of the family in the house. If the master wants you to live, you will live. If the master asks you to die, how dare you live? If it weren't for the fact that you have devoted yourself to the Qu family for many years, I would have done it long ago.
Your whole family has been sold."
Qu Huaiyun was so angry that he was furious that Manager Qiu still mentioned this old incident.
When Manager Qiu saw that Qu Huaiyun didn't care at all about the matter, he suppressed any trace of intolerance he had left under his feet.
How could such a selfish and cruel person understand his pain?
Master Liao promised that as long as he completed this matter, he would be able to get rid of his humble status.
When the time comes, he will take his old wife with him to seek life elsewhere.
"What are you waiting for? Let everyone outside the mansion come in and take everyone from the Qu mansion to the Yamen. We will interrogate them all night long and we must eradicate this scourge."
Liao Cheng didn't care what grudges there were between Guanshi Qiu and Qu Huaiyun. This time, not only the leader of the Qu clan would be ruined, but the rest of the Qu clan would also be implicated.
Those of the Qu family who were officials in the court did not have high official positions, so he did not need to worry, as these people could not cause any trouble.
As for the order Xia Qing gave him to assist Qu in obtaining the treasure map, Liao Cheng didn't even take it to heart.
With that person supporting him, how could he still be afraid of Xia Shoufu?
Lu Chen chased the figure in front of him and entered an attic.
He paused with his feet and entered the attic with his heart in his hands, but after he walked up and down, he did not find the figure of the man.
Could it be that he had already left the attic? Lu Chen was a little confused.
This man's Qing Gong is so powerful. He only learned this skill from a young master who was known as "Mi Wuxing" by people in the world.
I didn't expect that this person could actually leave me far behind. Could it be that this person is also a person in the world?
Lu Chen was frowning and thinking, looking for traces of the man, when he heard some noise outside.
Unfortunately, those people have also caught up. There is no sign of that person here, and others must suspect that they have obtained the treasure map.
Lu Chen jumped out of the window, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
Gu Chengyu quickly returned to the house and changed his clothes very quickly.
Without looking at the treasure map, Gu Chengyu opened the door after changing his clothes.
He planned to go to the original scene to have another look. After all, with such a big movement tonight, he had to show up, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion.
Besides, if Liao Cheng wants to capture Qu Huaiyun, he will definitely launch a war in Qu Mansion, and Qu Mansion will be unstoppable.
Anyway, the treasure map has been obtained. Even if he leaves Qu Mansion tonight, there will be no loss.
Having just completed his mission, he could return to the capital to deliver a message to the emperor.
Although there were some surprises on the treasure map, his mission was not completed satisfactorily.
Ming Mo and Ming Yan happened to come back at this time. They went directly back to the house and changed their clothes.
"Master Liao! What's going on?" Gu Chengyu looked at the bound Qu clan members in front of him and asked with a face full of shock.
"It turns out it's Mr. Gu. It's not peaceful tonight and has disturbed Mr. Gu's peace. I can only say sorry."
Liao Cheng saw Gu Chengyu coming over, glanced at the torches around him, and said very sincere words, but his eyes were very cold.
He looked Gu Chengyu up and down, and then asked: "Mr. Gu, did you hear anything about such a loud noise just now?"
Liao Cheng's suspicious eyes were fixed on Gu Chengyu. He didn't believe that Gu Chengyu could still sleep despite such a big movement.
Gu Chengyu was about to answer when he saw Zhi Lian who was lying on the ground, but now his wound had been bandaged.
He was a little stunned. How could Liao Cheng be so kind? Impossible, right?
"What's going on with this person? Why did Mr. Liao arrest everyone in Qu Mansion? What did they commit?"
Liao Cheng sneered when he heard this and repeated what he said before.
Then he pointed at Zhilian and explained: "This man is a very important witness. He was forced by Patriarch Qu to sell himself into the Qu Mansion. Patriarch Qu killed his father and threatened him with his mother's life to force him to
Give in. Cough! This kid is also going to have a hard life."
Liao Cheng lamented for it hypocritically, as if he was very sympathetic to Zhi Lian's experience.
Zhi Lian was asleep, so naturally she didn't know Liao Cheng's hypocrisy.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Then who is the man in black on the ground? Why does he appear in Qu Mansion dressed like this?"
Liao Cheng's eyes flashed, "Of course I came here for the treasure map, but it's a pity that the treasure map has been burned by Zhi Lian."
"What? The treasure map was destroyed?" Gu Chengyu was shocked. He looked at Liao Cheng in disbelief.
"Then what is this?" Gu Chengyu took out the fake treasure map from his arms, spread it out and looked at it.
Liao Cheng felt very proud. When Liao Cheng used a fake treasure map to deceive Gu Chengyu, he knew it.
But now Qu's family is about to collapse, and he doesn't mind adding more charges.
Lu Chen rushed all the way back to the room where Gu Chengyu was. When he saw that there was no one in the room, he immediately pounded the table.
He felt something was wrong just now. The man's purpose seemed to be to circle around the Qu Mansion.
Just like last time in Yi Mansion, there were people guarding the outside. It was impossible for that person to escape from the house, so he naturally stayed in the house, and he might have another identity.
Besides, the only person who could follow him from Yi Mansion to Qu Mansion, except Gu Chengyu, his master and servant, was himself.
Of course, he himself cannot be the man in black holding a soft sword, so the result is self-evident.
Gu Chengyu hasn't shown up yet, which is very suspicious.
Damn it, he was afraid that he was fooled by Gu Chengyu.
But what about the treasure map of Yi Mansion? Why did Gu Chengyu give it to him? This makes no sense.
"Sir!" A man in black with a swallow embroidered on his collar appeared in front of Lu Chen. Lu Chen was a little surprised.
"The outside is surrounded, how did you get in?"
The man snorted coldly, "With those little soldiers and crab generals, how can they be so humble?"
Lu Chen instantly understood that since his subordinates could come in and his martial arts were so strong, he could also get out of Yi Mansion and Qu Mansion!
However, Lu Chen's suspicion of Gu Chengyu did not dissipate, and he suppressed the chaos in his heart.
"What's up?"
"Master! I found out during the day that the patriarch of Yi Mansion had suffered a stroke, and now he is even more paralyzed."
"What's going on?" Lu Chen was a little surprised. Patriarch Yi looked energetic before and should be in good health.
