Chapter 164 My Welfare Mission 12
Of course, this family does not include Gu Qinghan and Si Ke.
As for how the two were able to escape, of course, this was due to the Third Prince's contribution, and also to Si Ke's reputation. In addition, Si Ke also presented a recipe, a recipe for smelting iron into steel.
As a result, not only were the two men not imprisoned, but Gu Qinghan was even highly valued by the emperor. He was transferred to the Divine Weapon Battalion as its commander, with the task of forging this steel. If he could truly forge a divine weapon, then future nobility would be a nobility issue.
After a joint trial by three judges, this major disaster relief corruption case came to a close. The Fourth Prince was imprisoned, and the officials, led by Gu Yun, along with their families, were beheaded in public, with the execution to be carried out three days later.
The day before the execution, Gu Qinghan went to the Ministry of Justice prison to see Gu Yun for the last time.
And at this moment, there was nothing Gu Yun didn't understand. This son had been planning since the first day he came back. He was here to seek revenge and collect debts from him.
Unfortunately, too many members of the Gu family could not see the truth clearly and kept kowtowing to Gu Qinghan, hoping that Gu Qinghan could rescue them.
"You'll suffer the consequences if you do evil, right, father?" Gu Qinghan smiled when he saw the man with gray hair.
"You only want to deal with me, why implicate innocent people?" Gu Yun sighed and finally softened his tone.
"Father, you're wrong. I've never thought of dealing with you. Wasn't it your own corruption that brought everyone to this point? Father, you've ruined our entire family. Don't blame me. I won't take the blame." Indeed, he hadn't considered killing his biological father. After all, Qin Shuang had persecuted him behind his back. He simply had no feelings for his father, that's all. If it weren't for his own greed, how could he have brought about his own death?
"Qinghan, you're truly calculating. Could you please tell father how you escaped unscathed?" Even now, Gu Yun couldn't figure it out. He'd never heard of a family being executed and still have someone escape. Even if his backers were powerful, there was no way they could allow him to visit the prison so brazenly.
"Well, I should have a proper talk with my father about this. I'm now the commander of the Divine Weapon Battalion, responsible for crafting weapons for the Emperor. The reason I was able to escape unscathed and stand here today is all because of the person you despise the most." Gu Qinghan pointed at Qin Shuang. "Back then, that vicious woman sent people to hunt me down, and it was my wife who saved me. And it was that village girl, whom you all despise, who helped me plan this journey step by step until now."
"How is this possible?" Thinking of the village girl who had no presence in the mansion, Gu Yun's face was full of disbelief.
Gu Qinghan didn't care whether they believed him or not and continued, "There's one more thing I should tell my father. I've married into the Si family and will be with Keke for the rest of my life. We won't have children in this lifetime. The Gu family's bloodline is too tainted and not worth continuing."
These words made Gu Yun spit out a mouthful of blood. He might have doubted and felt heartbroken that Gu Qinghan had escaped, but he was mostly relieved. He was relieved that the Gu family's roots were still there. As long as Gu Qinghan was alive, the Gu family could continue. But now he heard something: he heard that Gu Qinghan wanted to make him have no descendants and wipe out his entire family.
"Of course, all this is thanks to Qin Shuang. If I hadn't found out that he not only poisoned me, but also poisoned my mother, I wouldn't have made such a big decision. So Dad, if you want to blame someone, blame her! As for the Qin family, I won't let them go either. You just wait down there!" After saying that, Gu Qinghan turned around and left without any more nostalgia and ignored Qin Shuang's crazy shouting behind him.
Yes, his mother didn't die of illness. She died from Qin Shuang's poison, just like the chronic poisons he had been poisoned with before.
It turns out that Qin Shuang had been in love with Gu Yun for a long time. To marry into the Gu family, she even bribed her mother's maid to poison her mother. After her mother's death, she seduced Gu Yun, which allowed her to succeed.
The one who provided the poison was the Qin family behind the scenes.
On the day of the execution, Gu Qinghan brought Si Ke to the execution ground to watch the execution. Of course, there were not only them, but also many civilians.
Along the way, countless rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at them, making them look as miserable as they could be.
Gu Yun, kneeling in the center, looked ashen, lifeless. Not far from him, Qin Shuang lay in a bloody mess, her face unrecognizable. If it weren't for her lame son kneeling beside her, no one would have known who she was.
Gu Qinghan's words in the prison yesterday must have sparked public outrage. They were all going to die anyway, and after years of being exploited by Qin Shuang, their resentment naturally boiled over. If it weren't for that bitch, Gu Qinghan wouldn't have retaliated. All of this was caused by that bitch. It was all her fault...
The executioner raised his powerful arms, raised his knife and slashed it down, and everything returned to dust and earth!
Gu Qinghan and Si Ke returned to the Si family together. They moved into this three-story courtyard on the day the Gu family was raided.
From a distance in front of the courtyard gate, I saw Si Daniu swinging a stick and chasing the third brother around the yard.
The atmosphere, which was just heavy, suddenly became relaxed.
"Dad, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again..."
"What's going on?" Si Ke pulled the maid next to him and asked.
"Oh, the third young master went to school and splashed water on the teacher." The maid replied.
Si Ke felt both helpless and amused. The second child was now more mature and steady, and was even more attentive to the knowledge taught by the master. He was a promising student. But the third child, a half-grown brat, was always getting into trouble. It just so happened that Si Daniu and Ma Chunlan had nothing better to do since arriving in the capital, so beating up the third child became their shared amusement. Sometimes they played singles, sometimes mixed doubles, which was a lively affair.
Pulling Si Daniu away, Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "Dad, how about I take the third child to the military camp tomorrow? He's not good at literature, so let's try martial arts! We can always find someone who suits him."
"This is a good idea. This kid deserves to be punished." Si Daniu retracted the big stick, and his anger subsided a little.
"Isn't he too young to go to the military camp at this time?" Ma Chunlan said worriedly.
"No, mother. I'm just training with the soldiers. I'm not going to the battlefield, so don't worry."
"This kid is tough, he deserves to suffer some hardships." Si Daniu continued.
After hearing this, Si Lao San was not afraid at all, but became more energetic. He was not suitable for staying in the academy, he preferred fighting and killing.
So a few people didn't know that because of this decision, the court would have one more great general in the future.
