Chapter 67 I'm your father
Guan Zhiwei stood there, holding a knife, covered in blood.
This is a terrible demon, and now you're telling everyone that she also possesses supreme power.
How utterly hopeless this is!
She moved in everyone's eyes.
"You want me to give you an explanation, don't you?"
Sui Xing felt as if he were enveloped by her shadow, and was so frightened that he dared not move.
At first, Guan Zhiwei also had a knife, but he wasn't afraid. Instead, he shouted that he would deal with her.
Because the commoner's knife is unlikely to hit him.
But now, she is the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty.
She even killed Gao Yang.
"Even if you are the Grand Tutor of the court, you cannot kill people without cause..."
The head flew off.
The anxious expression on his face was forever frozen in that moment.
His nimble tongue could probably utter many more reasonable and well-founded arguments, but unfortunately, Guan Zhiwei didn't want to listen.
Guan Zhiwei slowly turned around and looked around: "Is there anyone else who wants an explanation from me?"
What Chen Jia Da Lang originally wanted, he didn't understand, how did Grand Tutor Guan's people change?
Now he can only bite his sleeve in humiliation, not daring to mention anything.
Her gaze swept across like a sword, and everyone avoided her like the plague.
Gao Huan, accustomed to her cruelty, smiled and said, "I heard today is a matchmaking banquet; I wonder if I'll be fortunate enough to get a seat."
"It is an honor for my humble abode to have you here, Lord Guan. You are truly a man of great influence." Liang Boyong, as expected of a city prefect, remained calm and composed.
Lord Guan recovered from his shock, his legs trembling slightly, but he calmed down and beckoned his servants to tidy up the garden again.
“Sui Lang—” Guan Nannan struggled, refusing to let go of the headless male corpse.
The servants hurriedly chased her away, but the First Madam could no longer contain herself and rushed over to stop them.
"Be gentle, don't hurt my daughter."
With tears in her eyes, she pulled Guan Nannan along, saying, "Go with your mother."
Guan Nannan cried out as if she had gone mad, "Sui Lang! Sui Lang!"
Guan Zhiwei watched coldly, then suddenly said, "Big sister, do you still remember our first meeting?"
Guan Nannan shouted until her voice was hoarse: "I shouldn't have brought you back, I shouldn't have disobeyed Sui Lang!"
“You were poisoned and almost lost your life. He was afraid I would find out, so he stopped the poisoning, and you were saved.”
"..."
Guan Nannan released the corpse in disbelief.
The First Madam embraced her and left, constantly comforting her.
Gao Huan walked over and whispered in Guan Zhiwei's ear, "Did Sui Yingzhen poison him?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"How could I possibly know if he poisoned me? Don't you know how undeserving my reputation as a miracle doctor is?"
Guan Zhiwei felt that Guan Nannan would only wake up when her own interests were harmed.
She said matter-of-factly, "He's already dead, so what's wrong with me throwing some mud at him? It's all because of him that my plans have been ruined. Now I'm going to kill Zhi Fang and his son, but they've split up and I can only chase one of them first. It's so annoying, I don't even want to kill them anymore."
"Then let's not kill. Since things have come to this point, let's wait and see. Maybe there will be a better opportunity."
The mess needed to be cleaned up, and Guan Zhiwei also needed to be cleaned up. She was splattered with blood, so Gao Huan brought a copper basin and a handkerchief to rinse with water and wipe her face and hands.
Knowing that Junyuan was watching, he wanted to call out to Silang several times, but ultimately held back.
Guan Zhiwei quickly wiped herself, tossed the handkerchief aside, and went to the head seat. "Go down, I'll sit here, you don't need to sit in the main seat."
Lord Guan was intimidated by her imposing presence and instinctively tried to move away.
He was about to leave when he realized something was amiss, and said with a stern face, "Are you the father or am I the father?"
He is an elder, and elders can be domineering in front of younger people, even if he has nothing but the identity of an elder.
Guan Zhiwei said, "I am your father."
"You, you, you, who are you to call your father! I am your father!" Lord Guan's face turned red.
Guan Zhiwei picked at her ear: "Ah, I thought you didn't know, that's why I asked you. Turns out you do know. Then why did you ask such a silly question? Get out of here."
"I am your father!"
“I’ve just been kicked out of my home. If you want to acknowledge me, there’s a different price.”
Guan Zhiwei stabbed the knife in her hand into the seat she wanted.
Lord Guan fell to the ground in a sorry state; if he had been just one step later, the knife would have pierced his carotid artery.
Guan Zhiwei didn't even glance at him, and simply sat down.
Gao Huan discovered that she was not only unkind to other people's fathers, but also to her own.
He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect in one direction: "Lord Guan, are you dissatisfied with the Grand Tutor appointed by His Majesty?"
Prefect Liang helped Lord Guan up and patted him gently twice to calm him down.
Guan Zhiwei raised her hand: "Sit down and talk."
Everyone, please take your seats.
Guan Zhiwei casually said, "I originally came to kill Zhi Fang and his son, but I was in such a hurry when I killed Gao Yang that I left you two behind."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Accustomed to smooth-talking and diplomatic words, they were somewhat unaccustomed to hearing such directness for the first time.
Zhi Fang calmly replied, "If you use bait to catch fish, you can kill them."
Guan Zhiwei lowered her eyebrows and looked up at him. Her semi-circular eyes exuded a strong sense of pressure. She tilted her head slightly and smiled, "Judging people by their social status, can people be exhausted?"
Although Zhi Fang was somewhat surprised, he was still overwhelmed by this unexpected joy.
He stood up and bowed, saying: "If you use bait to catch fish, the fish can be killed; if you use rewards to attract people, the people can be exhausted; if you use your family to take over a country, the country can be destroyed; if you use your country to take over the world, the world can be destroyed."
"Alright!" Guan Zhiwei slammed her hand on the table, and the matter was settled.
She demanded that Zhifang surrender, and he did.
As for Zhifang and his son, they ran around here and there, but because they were unknown and had no status, they were ostracized.
If one desires official recognition, then who can rival the emperor's endorsement?
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, Guan Zhiwei and Zhifang should be on opposing sides, two people carrying weapons fighting each other, and the winner staying in Yong'an City.
Unexpectedly, the two shook hands and made peace.
Even the Jiang family patriarch who led Gao Huan into the city was stunned. How could this be?
This father and son have over ten thousand men under their command, which is not easy to deal with. If the other side betrays them, it could severely injure Guan Zhiwei. Aren't they afraid? Doesn't she have a brain?
Prefect Liang calmly said, "Grand Tutor Guan, shouldn't we report this matter to the imperial court and request His Majesty to issue an imperial decree?"
The imperial court might not necessarily want to guard against this father and son's army. This wasn't the first time the father and son had rebelled. First, they followed Gao Yang to cause trouble in the capital, and then, even after the emperor offered them amnesty, they still resolutely led their troops back to Yingzhou.
This person is definitely rebellious; they'll seize any opportunity to rebel.
"Did you bring it?" Guan Zhiwei asked Gao Huan.
Gao Huan nodded with a smile and took out a scroll of imperial edict from his sleeve. The edict was blank; he had specifically asked the emperor for it before leaving.
Is there any need to report to the imperial court? She carries a miniature imperial court with her at all times.
