The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 217 A Phoenix Falling to Earth Is No Better Than a Chicken...

Gu Jingzhi stood up and walked to Gu Heng, only to find that he had fainted.

He secretly gave Liu Sandao a thumbs-up, then looked at Gu Heng and said, "Splash it on him to wake him up!"

"Wow..."

A basin of water was poured over him, and Gu Heng shuddered and woke up immediately.

It was freezing cold, and the prison seemed even colder. Gu Heng woke up shivering.

What caught his eye was Gu Jingzhi's face. Gu Heng pointed a trembling finger at Gu Jingzhi: "Rebellious son, are you going to murder..."

"You mean patricide? Is that right?"

Gu Jingzhi smiled softly and said, "Gu Heng, do you still think you are still that high and mighty Marquis... and I am still the same Gu Jingzhi who allowed your Gu family to bully me?"

"Sometimes I'm really curious, what kind of illusion makes you still think you're so invincible?"

"Gu Heng, my last name is Gu, but it's not the same as your Gu Heng. How can you say I killed my father?"

Gu Heng was silent for a long time before he said bitterly, "My Gu family has been sentenced to death. Why did you torture Xiu'er so much before he died?"

"Torture?"

Gu Jingzhi pulled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "He deserves this. If it was just a grudge between him and me, I wouldn't have come to this prison!"

"It's just that your Gu family is too self-righteous. You rely on your noble family background, the support of the Prime Minister and the noble family, and never take human life seriously!"

"Gu Xiu knew about my friendship with Lao Huang, but because he wanted to take revenge on me, he tortured Lao Huang to death bit by bit. Shouldn't I take revenge?"

"But he was just a servant..."

"That's my Gu Jingzhi's family!"

Gu Jingzhi loudly retorted, "Gu Heng, you know very well how I've been living in your Gu family. Apart from Old Huang, is there anyone else in the Gu family who truly treats me well?"

"When I left the Gu family that day, I thought that as long as you Gu family don't provoke me, I will not interfere with your family!"

"but……"

Gu Jingzhi sneered and said, "However, with Song Yu and Gu Xiu, these two idiots, my idea will only remain an idea after all!"

"In that case, I'm thinking... okay, then I'll have a fight with your Gu family."

"Haha! Now that you've won, why don't you just let us wait for death in peace?"

"win?"

It would have been fine if Gu Heng hadn't said this, but as soon as he did, Gu Jingzhi became furious.

"If your Gu family is destroyed, can my mother and Old Huang survive?"

"You coveted the Gu family's power, harmed my Gu clan, poisoned my biological mother, imprisoned me in the mansion, wantonly suppressed my grandfather's family, and bullied the local people. Do you think the lives of your family members are enough to repay you?"

"I will wait for your entire family to be beheaded on the execution ground. I will use your head to sacrifice to my mother. I will make sure you die a restless death!"

"And that vicious woman Song Yu, she'll soon be ridden by thousands of men. I'm going to make you, Gu Heng, go to hell and wear a green hat on your head to atone for your sins, and become a cuckolded bastard!"

"you you……"

Gu Heng looked at Gu Jingzhi in horror. After a long moment, he roared at the top of his lungs, "Gu Jingzhi, you're so vicious!"

"Not even a fraction of what you can compare to!"

Gu Jingzhi said this lightly, then turned around and left!

……

Three days passed in a flash, and two carriages from the Marquis' Mansion slowly left the city.

He would probably stay in the northwest for quite some time this time, so he brought more people and things with him.

As soon as I walked out of the city gate, I saw the prince's family, and a few others, who were from the prince's wife's family.

Gu Jing got off the carriage and saw seven adults and five children... There were also several escorting officers nearby.

Gu Jingzhi frowned. Isn't this too humiliating?

"Who asked you to come here?" Gu Jingzhi asked calmly, looking at a leader-like person.

"This... My Lord, we are here to escort..."

"Alright! You all can go back. The Crown Prince will be escorted by me personally, so you don't have to walk all the way!"

"But……"

The leading officer hesitated, and Gu Jingzhi said calmly, "But what? When you go back, just blame this on me!"

"Uh……"

The officer looked at Gu Jingzhi with a look of surprise and said hesitantly, "But this criminal..."

"Where did the prisoner come from? This is your Majesty's eldest son."

Gu Jingzhi said expressionlessly, "When you go back, just say it was me who said it. Be more careful in your actions in the future and don't let others take advantage of you without knowing it!"

"Hey, here, I'll go back right away!"

It was no secret in the entire capital that Gu Jingzhi was taking Emperor Xia's Great Xia Dragon Bird on an inspection tour of the northwest.

Now that Gu Jingzhi has spoken, naturally no one will blame them.

Don't underestimate the low status of these lowest-level officials in the capital, but cats have their ways and dogs have their ways... They are smart in their own way.

After sending the official away, Gu Jingzhi bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness..."

"Marquis Gu, please don't address me like that. I... I've been deposed as Crown Prince. If people hear me address you like that, it's probably not good..."

Although the three-year period gave him some hope, he still felt a little depressed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingzhi simply said, "Even without the title of Crown Prince, he is still the eldest son of His Majesty. It is not an exaggeration to call him Your Highness. Besides... Your Highness, do you think I am still afraid of them now?"

"You, you..."

The prince smiled bitterly.

The Crown Princess, on the other hand, glanced at Gu Jingzhi with a charming look, then pulled the Crown Prince's sleeve and said, "My dear, if Marquis Gu is willing, don't delay!"

"Wan'er, we are doing this... and are actually dragging down Marquis Gu!"

"Your Highness! We've known each other for a while, and you've taken good care of me before. There's no need to talk about me being a burden anymore!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has bestowed upon me the Great Xia Dragon Bird. Once I leave this capital, my words will naturally not be controlled by anyone. Prince, please do not refuse!"

As he spoke, Gu Jingzhi smiled and looked at the others, then bowed and said, "Greetings, General Qiao..."

Chen Hou Qiao Zhen was one of the veteran generals who killed the rebels together with Gu Jingzhi on the day of the annual banquet. Unexpectedly, he was now arranged by Emperor Xia to help the prince.

The Qiao family said they were exiled, but in fact Emperor Xia took the opportunity to give the prince some means to save his life.

After all, the Qiao family was a family of military commanders, and their two sons had a good reputation in the capital, but these two children...

Gu Jingzhi shook his head slightly.

Qiao Zhen has two sons and a daughter. His daughter is the Crown Princess, and his youngest son is not married yet. So these two children must be the children of Qiao Zhen’s eldest son, Qiao Ze.

I heard that when Qiao Ze's in-laws heard that the Qiao family was implicated, they brought people to the house that night and forced Qiao Ze and his wife to sign a divorce agreement...

What a fucking reality!

Seeing Gu Jingzhi fix his gaze on his grandchildren, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but say awkwardly, "Lord Gu... Thank you for troubling me along the way!"

"What are you talking about, old General? You and I have fought side by side before. There is no need to worry about such trivial matters!"

Gu Jingzhi just smiled slightly, then looked at Lin Feng and said, "Go get two more carriages and bring a few horses over..."
