As he spoke, he observed Sheng Mingyu's expression. Finally, he offered a hypocritical suggestion, "If the prince is truly angry, I will help you find out who did it. There are only a few people who could have done it in Anyuan County, and I will definitely find them for you."
Marquis Changping kept changing the subject, and Sheng Mingyu was unwilling to keep asking those small questions.
Even if I get an answer, I can't convict him. After all, there is no evidence. He is a marquis and I can't solve the problem easily.
"So the Marquis has this ability. I remember that there is no position assigned to you in Anyuan County, and you can't call anyone. How can you investigate for me?"
"Then go and look at the bodies. Did you kill them all? Or did you leave any alive? If so, we can interrogate them."
Marquis Changping breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little nervous when he asked this question.
He didn't know if Sheng Mingyu was truly ruthless. If he didn't spare anyone, and the Crown Prince started to make a fuss, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
No matter what Marquis Changping wanted to hear, he would say the opposite.
Isn't it a joke that someone who hurts you wants to keep his life?
"Don't worry, my Lord. This prince hates people causing trouble the most. Those people are all dead, even their bodies have been destroyed. The person behind this may never be found."
At first, Marquis Changping could still hold it back, but later on, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
Sheng Mingyu clearly knew who it was and had dealt with the person, but he still wanted to cause trouble for himself!
But he had to continue acting.
"Why did His Royal Highness take such drastic measures? They didn't harm you, so why did you take their lives? Even if you left a few alive, we could still find the person behind the scenes. Are you trying to cover up for that person?"
Sheng Mingyu's expression returned to indifference. It was a waste of time to talk to him. It was bad enough that he couldn't get any useful information out of him, but he looked scared all day long.
How could someone like him become a marquis?
"Why? Marquis Changping has something against my actions? Then you have to go underground and tell those people. However, I will not kill you. I will report this matter to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the decision. I will not waste my time with you, my Lord. You should think carefully about what you have done. If they find out, you will not be able to evade blame."
The previous words are just foreshadowing, and the last sentence is the real blow.
The Marquis of Changping sat completely on the chair, too weak to get up.
Sheng Mingyu is a jinx. Anything that happens with him will not have a good outcome!
Marquis Changping used up his last bit of strength and called out to Gu Yunni who was about to leave.
He originally didn't want to cause her any more trouble at this time.
But he was worried that he would never have the chance to meet her again, as today's incident was aimed at her life.
"Yun Ni! Your father still wants to ask you, when can you return to the Marquis' Mansion? After all, it is your home. Your brother's health is gradually failing, and he has to wait for you to return to prolong his life."
Gu Yunni was so angry that her face turned red. How could this family be so shameless?
Do you treat yourself like a pet? You can throw it away whenever you want and find it back whenever you want?
"Before you ask this, you should check your conscience. Have you forgotten what you've done? You still want me dead today! What does your son's problems have to do with me? I'm not your daughter. Do you really think I don't know why you're here this time? Do you still want to use me as a pawn?"
Gu Yunni got angry because the Marquis of Changping had been nice to her in the past, which brought back many memories for her.
If it weren't for what happened in her previous life, she really thought she was living in a honeypot.
How could you be so cruel and do such a heavy-handed thing to someone you've treated sincerely?
Marquis Changping was shocked, and all his little thoughts were exposed by Gu Yunni.
But he couldn't care less. He finally had the chance to explain things to Gu Yunni, so he couldn't give up.
"I... Yun Ni, you really misunderstood. I didn't know how important you were before, but now I know you. Just go back."
Seeing Gu Yunni's eyes were red, Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but get angry, "Marquis Changping, be careful with your words! No one forced you to do those things before, you did it voluntarily. As the Marquis, you can't force Yunni. The Marquis should bear the consequences."
Is the Marquis of Changping so blind? Can't he see that Yun Ni doesn't want to mention it? Why does he keep provoking her?
After they finished speaking, they turned and left. Even the imperial teacher couldn't help but spit at the Marquis of Changping.
You know that someone is lucky, but you don’t treat them well. You deserve it!
Only Marquis Changping was left, slumped in his chair, feeling uneasy.
Gu Yunni calmed down for a long time before she realized what she had just said. She looked at Sheng Mingyu with a guilty look on her face.
She pointed out that it was Marquis Changping who wanted her dead. Doesn't that mean they knew everything?
"Was I too excited just now? What I said will definitely attract his attention."
Sheng Mingyu touched Gu Yunni's head, his eyes full of heartache.
He didn't know what Gu Yunni had faced, but he hoped to stay by her side in the future.
"It's okay, Yun Ni. It's impossible to hide it anyway. There are only a few people who can send out guards like that. No matter what, he wants this prince's life."
Gu Yunni took a deep breath and finally got over this hurdle. After today's quarrel, she felt almost well.
She had wanted to ask these questions for a long time, and it didn't matter even if she didn't get an answer.
"I'm fine. Just keep a close eye on him these few days. He won't be quiet. We might as well make some preparations."
"Okay." Sheng Mingyu nodded and sent her back to the room.
The Imperial Master came out of the Marquis of Changping's house and never showed up again. He returned to his room to rest.
Sheng Mingyu is taking care of Gu Yunni, so she doesn't need my help.
After the assassination, they were quiet for many days and no one caused trouble.
Just when Sheng Mingyu relaxed his vigilance, another accident happened.
"Your Highness, this is bad. A large number of people have been killed in the north of the city. The ghostly cries we mentioned earlier have reappeared, but we can't find them anywhere. Please think of a solution."
The bailiff's face was pale. He thought that Sheng Mingyu had stepped in and the matter had been resolved, but another accident happened. This time it was really troublesome.
Sheng Mingyu slammed the table and stood up. With a little force, the table collapsed with a loud bang.
"What? What on earth are you doing here? This prince told all of you to stay in the north of the city and not worry about other places. Where have you been?!"
He was really going crazy.
All the guards Sheng Mingyu brought from Kyoto have been sent into the mountains, otherwise he wouldn't have used these idiots, and they still ended up not living up to their expectations!
"Your Highness, please spare us! We didn't do it on purpose. We were on shift change and suddenly lost a large number of civilians. People have to eat, and we need to rest too, right?"
