Chapter 9;(1/2)
Counterattack
Xu family in Beijing.
Ever since the news came back that Xu Wenwu was imprisoned, the pressure in the whole government has reached rock bottom.
Mrs. Gao got very angry in her yard.
Things were smashed into pieces and nothing was said.
Even a maid who was usually quite honorable as a dowry was killed on the spot by Gao in a rage.
This shows how angry she is.
The servants up and down the courtyard were not breathing hard, fearing that if they made any noise, they would be killed.
Such low-pressure silence lasted until Xu Zhao returned home.
"Master, are Wenwu back?"
Xu Zhao shook his head.
Come back? Are you kidding? What were you doing in those little fights?
This time, that guy Xu Wenwu caused trouble to the eldest prince. Emperor Hongwen personally sent a message to imprison him. Who dares to get him out at this time?
Isn’t that seeking death?
"His Majesty personally gave the order and things are not easy to handle."
"I have already said hello to Dali Temple and invited famous doctors to come over. They will take good care of Wenwu."
"Don't worry too much."
It's a good thing he didn't say the last sentence. This sentence directly ignited Mr. Gao.
"Ever since we were young, I was reluctant to touch Wen Wu. Now his legs have been broken and he has been thrown into prison."
"You actually told me not to worry too much?"
"Xu Zhao, although Wenwu is not your son, you have called him dad for so many years, you."
Seeing his roaring and angry wife, Xu Zhao quickly comforted her softly.
"Please wait until I finish speaking."
"Tell me, tell me, I want to see what you can say."
Xu Zhao did not dare to delay and quickly told everything he knew.
"How can I say that Wenwu will really be fine?"
"Since Your Majesty didn't punish me right away, don't you still understand?"
"Even if you don't believe me, uncle, don't you still believe me?"
"He will not let anything happen to civil and military officials."
This is true, Gao Yanming has always loved Xu Wenwu as his own son.
When news of Xu Wenwu's accident came out, his level of anxiety was almost the same as Gao's.
Having him watching her really made her feel at ease.
"The civil and military association is like this, and it has a lot to do with that little bitch."
Xu Zhao knew very well who the little bitch she was referring to was.
"Just handle this matter, you don't have to ask me what I want."
For Lu Yaoyao's daughter, he only saw the use value and never felt anything about family affection.
It was as if at this moment, he knew exactly what Gao would do.
But he didn't care at all.
On the contrary, he also hoped that Gao could be more decisive.
This way, he would not have to worry about the original agreement with the Lu family.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Gao's eyes immediately flashed with a cold light.
The little bitch was lucky to survive back then, but this time she wanted to see if she would still be so lucky.
At night.
As soon as Lu Yaoyao fell asleep, Qiu Yu's call came from outside the room.
"come in."
The door opened and Qiu Yu entered the room. She first took out the fire stick and lit the candles in the room.
"As expected, the lady from the Xu family sent someone here."
Lu Yaoyao's expression turned cold.
After learning about the news in the capital in the afternoon, she guessed that Gao's vicious woman would definitely take action against her.
After all, she loved her son Xu Wenwu very much.
There was nothing she could do about the royal family. After learning that this incident was related to her, they would inevitably transfer their anger to her side.
"Who is here? What order did Gao give?"
"Two secret guards."
Qiu Yu said, his face immediately filled with murderous intent.
"Mr. Gao's original words were to let them kidnap you, strip you naked, and throw you to a refugee camp in the western suburbs until you are arrested."
In Dongzhou Kingdom, various natural and man-made disasters often occur, making it impossible for the people to live there.
These people will flock to the most prosperous places in Dongzhou.
The imperial court will naturally give them some accommodation. As long as they don't riot, the imperial court will hardly pay much attention to them.
After all, if excessive key control triggers a civil uprising, the responsible officials will be the first to bear the consequences.
Over time, that place turned into a smoky and sinful place.
According to Gao's order, if she was thrown into that place, the fate that awaited her would not be described as miserable.
However, Lu Yaoyao did not show too much anger.
She has already understood Gao's viciousness.
"Miss, should we return this trick to that evil bitch?"
Lu Yaoyao smiled faintly.
"Wouldn't that be too cheap for her?"
She would not be merciful to the evil woman like Gao, and it would be too easy for her to retaliate in the same way.
With the hidden power she currently has in her hands, let alone the Gao family, it would be easy for her to wipe out the Xu family overnight.
Death is the end and also liberation.
Why should they be relieved from such pain?
"Didn't she send people here because of Xu Wenwu?"
"Since the royal family is not willing to take action, let's do it for you."
Xu Mansion in the capital.
Mrs. Gao stayed up all night, firstly because she was worried about her son's situation in prison, and secondly because she was waiting for news.
However, a whole night passed, and she didn't know how many times she asked Grandma Li.
The result is that the person has not come back yet.
Here, Xu Zhao got up and prepared to go to the morning court, but she hadn't received the news yet.
The anger in my heart kept rising.
However, at this moment, a servant came holding a box with a red paper seal and asked for permission.
The note was written in five large characters written by Mrs. Xu herself.
"Who sent it?"
The servant shook his head.
"In response to Madam, the concierge found this outside when he opened the door this morning. I don't know who put it down."
Hearing this, Mrs. Gao frowned and motioned for Nanny Li to step forward and open it.
When the seal was torn and the box was opened, a pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air.
Then came a scream from Grandma Li.
She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, pointing at the box, trembling and unable to say a word.
Seeing this scene, dissatisfaction flashed across Gao's face, he stood up and his eyes just fell on the open box.
