Chapter 333: Cruel and Merciless
After Gu Mingqi came out of that unlucky cell, he asked someone to prepare hot water for bathing and changed his clothes for several days.
After feeling refreshed, Gu Mingqi suddenly dealt with the two yamen runners slowly and calmly.
"Seventh Prince, Seventh Prince, please spare us!" The guard knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "We are blind and ignorant. Please forgive our mistakes and let us go!"
Gu Mingqi enjoyed their pleas for mercy, but the final result would not change. After Gu Mingqi had enough fun, he sent them away with just one sentence.
"Drag him out and behead him."
Upon hearing this, the official broke out in a cold sweat, praying that he would not be the next one to get into trouble.
"Master Li," Gu Mingqi said slowly, "someone here has made a mistake. As the leader, shouldn't you also be punished for the same crime?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li fell to his knees with a thud. "Seventh Prince, please understand. I have never heard anyone say that you were imprisoned. If I knew, how could I let you suffer such humiliation?"
"You also know that this is humiliating." This is definitely a big stain on Gu Mingqi, and it must not be known to anyone.
"Seventh Prince, it's my fault. I will definitely give you an explanation. Please forgive me!" Lord Li kowtowed and begged for mercy.
No one really doesn't want to live a good life. Lord Li cherishes his life very much.
"Tell your men to keep their mouths shut. If I hear what's happening here and it gets out..."
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Lord Li excitedly interrupted Gu Mingqi, "No, no, don't worry, Seventh Prince. If anyone spreads something they shouldn't, I will kill myself immediately!"
Only then did Gu Mingqi let the other person go. After Lord Li crawled out, Gu Mingqi began to blame his own people again.
"My subordinates are incompetent!"
There were people kneeling on the ground in front of Gu Mingqi, but he was not moved at all. If there was no one else around to replace them, Gu Mingqi would definitely take their lives.
"Get out! Don't let me see you again!" I hadn't had a good sleep for a few days, and after finishing the work, I felt sleepy.
"yes!"
After everyone left, Gu Mingqi fell asleep soon.
But in the dream that had made him happy and cheerful just a moment ago, a series of annoying noises appeared, making Gu Mingqi frown.
Gu Mingqi wanted to continue the previous good life, but he didn't find a way. When his annoyance intensified, he suddenly opened his eyes, but the annoying voice had not disappeared yet.
"Seventh Prince, Your Highness." The voice outside the door clearly entered Gu Mingqi's ears.
"Get in here!" Gu Mingqi roared.
After this moment, there was no more sound outside the door, and it was so quiet that it seemed as if everything just now was just Gu Mingqi's illusion.
His patience ran out, and Gu Mingqi shouted again, and only then did he hear some new movement.
"Seventh, Seventh Prince, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'll leave now!"
The person who pushed the door was not someone else, but Gu Mingqi's cellmate.
"I actually forgot about you." Gu Mingqi murmured after seeing the person coming.
The habitual thief only saw Gu Mingqi's mouth move, but did not hear what he said. He could not help but ask softly, "Seventh Prince, I will take my leave first and wait for you..."
"What are you here for?" Gu Mingqi narrowed his eyes, thinking that if what this man said was wrong, then don't blame him for killing him.
"I, I came here to congratulate the Seventh Prince on his release from that damn prison." The habitual thief's face was full of flattery, "I also came to thank the Seventh Prince."
Gu Mingqi snorted coldly. He didn't remember where he had helped this habitual thief.
"Thanks to the arrival of the Seventh Prince's men, I was able to get out at this time." The habitual thief lied with his eyes open. It was obvious that the group of people surrounded Gu Mingqi and left, and they actually forgot to lock the door of the cell.
The habitual thief thought that no one cared about his coming and going, so he came out from there openly, and then groped his way to Gu Mingqi.
The habitual thief would not miss this good opportunity as he had not yet gained any benefits from Gu Mingqi. However, he did not know that if he did not show up, Gu Mingqi would probably forget about him in a few days.
But he still walked into the trap. How could Gu Mingqi tolerate someone who witnessed his embarrassment to survive in the world?
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you want." Gu Mingqi's annoyance caused by the disturbance disappeared, and he found some pleasure in using his power to oppress others.
Seeing people abandoning their dignity in front of him and begging for a little bit of things that were worthless to him, Gu Mingqi felt a great sense of satisfaction.
"Okay, let someone take you to get it." Gu Mingqi said almsgivingly, and as expected, he saw an ugly look on the other person's face.
"Thank you, Seventh Prince!" The habitual thief was delighted and went out happily to look for someone.
Not long after, someone came in and asked Gu Mingqi what he wanted to give. Gu Mingqi looked over casually. He didn't hear anything the habitual thief had just said.
When the visitor asked him, Gu Mingqi only said: "Give me a knife, some poison, or a rope..."
Gu Mingqi paused and asked the visitor, "Which one do you think is better?"
The man understood, bowed to Gu Mingqi, and then turned and left.
There was a smile with an ambiguous meaning on the corner of Gu Mingqi's mouth.
On the way back to Beijing, Gu Mingqi was always followed by two assassins, which ensured his safety along the way.
Jiang Lin and the others really had no idea what had happened to Gu Mingqi. After Gu Mingqi left Heshui Town, Jiang Lin no longer sent anyone to follow him.
After all, everyone will return to the palace in the end, and Gu Mingqi doesn't think that the other party will do anything earth-shattering on the way.
"Has everything been arranged in Heshui Town?" Qin Xiangnuan asked.
"Things went better than expected," Jiang Lin said. "Do you still remember those kids you met?"
Qin Xiangnuan frowned and nodded, "Why did you suddenly mention them? What happened?"
Jiang Lin shook his head and chuckled, "They are fine, and they even did some surprising things."
After hearing what Jiang Lin said, Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but feel surprised. The person who was unwilling to speak at the beginning was actually able to persuade some people in Heshui Town to rebel against Gu Mingqi.
This was something they had not expected.
"If you see them again, you must thank them." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
Qin Xiangnuan quite agreed. She could imagine how furious Gu Mingqi would be if he knew that he had worked so hard to bring Heshui Town to its current state, but his plan was ruined by a few children.
Qin Xiangnuan felt happy just thinking about it.
At this time, Qin Xiangnuan was still at Jiang Lin's place, but Lao Liu had gone back yesterday. He said that he had been with his family for too long and the novelty had easily faded.
