Chapter 215: Settle the grudge!
It was already dark, and Gu Jingzhi stayed in his study, as if waiting for something.
Soon, the study door opened and Liu Sandao walked in: "Sir, everything is done!"
Although Gu Jingzhi had been granted the title of marquis, he was still in the habit of calling him "Sir".
Gu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
As he spoke, Gu Jingzhi stood up and hurried to the door. When he passed by his yard, he happened to see Chen Yu directing people to move things.
"Are you still packing up so late?"
Gu Jingzhi walked up to Chen Yu and said gently, "It's snowing, you should go to bed early and don't get cold!"
Chen Yu shook her head and smiled softly, "It's okay, it will be done in a moment. Are you going out, husband?"
He looked at Gu Jingzhi wearing a cloak and couldn't help feeling curious.
Gu Jingzhi reached out and picked off the snowflakes on her head, and said with a smile: "I have to take care of some things before leaving Beijing. You should go back to the room and rest early, don't catch a cold!"
"Well! Then my husband, please come back soon!"
Chen Yu helped Gu Jingzhi tidy up his clothes and spoke softly.
Gu Jingzhi smiled and nodded, then left with Liu Sandao.
After they left, Chen Yu looked at Tao'er and said, "Even at this time, my husband is still thinking about finishing something. It must be something big. You have been with my husband for a longer time. Do you know when it is?"
"do not know!"
Tao Er shook her head and said, "Ever since I followed the Master, I've only known that besides official duties, the Master doesn't seem to have anything else to deal with every day."
"Have you ever had any grudge against anyone?"
"Except for the political enemies in the court, I haven't heard of it...but..."
"What did you think of, sister?"
"Ok!"
Tao'er nodded and said, "I've heard people say before that when the master left the Gu family, there was an old servant following him. They said he was a servant from the old lady's family!"
"Then the old servant died for some unknown reason! The master has been investigating this matter for quite some time!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu suddenly thought of the house in the yard where he used to live. There were still things placed there but no one lived there. Gu Jingzhi had also instructed that the things in that house should be thrown away.
presumably……
She thought for a moment and said, "Take these things back to the yard, and then go and rest!"
……
Gu Jingzhi, along with Liu Sandao and others, walked silently all the way to the Neiwei Mansion prison on the snowy night.
As death row prisoners, the Gu family was originally going to be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison. However, during this period, thanks to Gu Jingzhi's mediation, Gu Heng's family was imprisoned in the Internal Guard prison.
Gu Jingzhi walked into the Inner Guard Prison unhindered and came to the innermost cell in the prison.
Gu Heng's family and Zhao Zhongli's family are imprisoned here.
The murderer who killed the entire Gu family is now here.
Hearing the noise, both families were awakened. Under the light of several torches, they could see Gu Jingzhi's face clearly.
Gu Xiu rushed over, grabbed the cell door, and angrily said, "Gu Jingzhi, it's all your fault. You're the one who made us suffer like this. Why is it that my whole family is in jail, but you're safe and sound?"
"Ah!"
Gu Jingzhi laughed disdainfully and said, "It's been so long, and you still don't have a brain. Didn't your father tell you the truth?"
"You think that the sins of your Gu family can implicate me? How naive..."
Gu Jingzhi patted his face, full of ridicule, then looked at the prison boss and said, "I don't have time to deal with him right now, tell him to keep quiet!"
As he said that, he turned and walked towards the door opposite!
"Gu Jingzhi..."
Gu Xiu wanted to reach out and grab him, but the jailer hit him hard with the handle of his knife. Gu Xiu groaned and fell into the cell.
Seeing this, Song Yu immediately rushed forward: "Xiu'er..."
"If you don't want to be whipped, keep quiet!" The jailer shouted loudly after receiving Gu Jingzhi's order.
Song Yu quickly shut his mouth, while Gu Heng and Gu Zhuo looked at Gu Jingzhi coldly.
Gu Jingzhi walked to the cell opposite. Zhao Zhongli's hair, which was originally gray, looked even older. He smiled slightly when he saw Gu Jingzhi coming. "I didn't expect to see you again before I die!"
"I'm only here to settle the feud between you and me!"
Gu Jingzhi said lightly.
Zhao Zhongli, however, seemed quite calm: "Why, Lord Gu, who always puts the law first, is now so impatient to take action himself?"
"you are wrong!"
Gu Jingzhi shook his head slightly: "Only the laws of Daxia can judge you. Today I just want to tell you that the agreement between you and me has been completed. If you release the two people from my Gu family, I will make sure that no one will torture you. Be a good person in your next life!"
"Next life, next life...haha..."
Zhao Zhongli suddenly felt a little sad.
Gu Jingzhi said, "You have harmed the entire Gu family. Now your family will soon be reunited in the underworld. Do you regret it?"
"regret?"
Zhao Zhongli was stunned and asked, "Did you come to me today just to ask if I regret what I did that day?"
"Yes!"
Gu Jingzhi's words are concise and to the point.
Zhao Zhongli turned around and looked at his family. Seeing their dim eyes, there seemed to be some regret in them. His lips trembled, and finally he said: "I don't regret fighting with Gu Shun, but I regret choosing the wrong direction. If I had chosen Daxia, would we not have been in such trouble today?"
"Zhao Zhongli, there are no ifs in life!"
"When you slaughtered the entire Gu family, the execution of your entire family today is the result of your actions. The grudges from twenty years ago should be settled today."
"Whether it's the Yun Kingdom, the Gu Clan, or your Zhao Family, they are all a thing of the past. Your Yun Kingdom's only bloodline will soon be destroyed. I came here today just to tell you that the Gu Clan you once destroyed will rise again on this land!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhao Zhongli smiled and said, "The Gu family has always produced outstanding talents. Throughout the five generations, there has never been a mediocre person. I, Zhao Zhongli, have no regrets in being defeated by you!"
"I have done a lot of evil in my life. I will apologize to your Gu family in the underworld!"
defeat?
After hearing what Zhao Zhongli said, Gu Jingzhi shook his head slightly.
Although the Zhao family was destroyed because of him, did he win?
not at all.
He is the only one left in the Gu family now, along with two cousins who are ignorant of their own dangers. The glory of the Gu family can only serve as a topic of conversation for people to remember.
Zhao Zhongli enjoyed at least twenty years of wealth and glory.
His defeat was not so much a defeat to Gu Jingzhi as it was a defeat to the situation.
No matter if it was him, Baili Gongshu, or Nangong Shouyi, their defeat was not in vain because of Gu Jing alone, but because of the current situation.
However, the Gu family, a heroic family, is also full of tragedy.
Revenge does not make Gu Jingzhi happy, but instead brings him endless melancholy. Born in such an era, will there not be such tragedies in the future?
Gu Jingzhi turned his head silently and said to Liu Sandao, "Take Gu Heng and Gu Xiu to the interrogation room..."
