Are You Suffering?
Chang 'an City.
Gu Family Antique Shop.
"Zhao Yicheng?" Hou Junji asked.
"Yes, it's me." The middle-aged man nodded.”
"Why are you in my house?"
Gu Hao could not help but ask.
This was too f * cking bizarre.
Gail, who was standing behind Gu Hao. Bagado was also stunned.
She had been in the antique shop the entire day and had not gone out.
Why didn't she know that there was an outsider in the house?
The scholarly middle-aged man, Zhao Yicheng, said with a fake smile,"Didn't you invite me here?”
"Hmm?" Hou Junji and the surrounding Golden Guards turned to look at Gu Hao.
Gu Hao's face twitched." Who doesn't know that I was the one who foiled your Turkic plot?" he sneered." You want to frame me?" You're too stupid."
The scholarly middle-aged man, Zhao Yicheng, said lightly,""Top scorer, your words are completely different from the flattering posture you had when you knelt down and begged me to let my Prince Sui spare your life.”
Hou Junji snickered.
He wasn't sure if Zhao Yicheng was telling the truth, but he knew that he didn't catch the wrong person this time.
Gu Hao's face darkened.
This was f * cking embarrassing!
"How do you know that your Sui King wants to kill me? There are Turkic spies in the Ministry of Justice's prison?”Gu Hao narrowed his eyes and said.
Hou Junji raised an eyebrow.
A hint of fear flashed in Zhao Yicheng's eyes.
This top scholar was indeed as Sui Wang had said, extremely intelligent!
He had to get rid of it!
"Top scholar, being a fence-sitter doesn't end well.”Zhao Yicheng said lightly.
"Idiot!" Gu Hao couldn't help but curse.
Zhao Yicheng's expression froze.
It was as if he didn't expect Gu Hao, the top scholar, to be so vulgar.
"Did you forget that you just sent someone to kill me at noon?”Gu Hao was speechless.
"Send someone to kill you?" Zhao Yicheng sneered. Then why are you still fine at this moment? Since you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust.
Didn't you want to win the heart of Princess Chang Le and ask me to send someone to cooperate with you to save the damsel in distress?
Now that the matter has blown up, you want to draw a clear line?”
Hou Junji's eyes lit up.
It was not easy to kill an innocent and meritorious scholar, but if it was a guilty scholar, then there was no pressure to kill him.
After torturing Yang Zhengdao the night before, Hou Junji had vaguely understood that if he wanted to get information about the Heirloom Seal and the jade, he would have to use Gu Hao as a breakthrough.
However, Gu Hao was the top scholar, the future son-in-law, and he had just made a great contribution to the Tang Empire.
Not easy to kill!
Moreover, His Majesty hoped that he could find out the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal without touching Gu Hao.
Hou Junji's true purpose in coming to see Gu Hao was to prepare for his future extortion.
The crystal cup and the three types of liquor that appeared at the bonfire banquet were very coveted by him.
In the future, if he really couldn't force Yang Zhengdao to reveal the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal, he could only agree to Yang Zhengdao's condition and exchange Gu Hao's life for the Imperial Jade Seal's whereabouts.
However, before that, he would extort all of Gu Hao's remaining value.
The scholarly middle-aged man's words had given Hou Junji the perfect excuse.
Gu Hao was stunned.
In front of him, the main character, she was twisting black and white and saying that red was green. Did she really not feel embarrassed?
"No wonder that master of yours pestered me like an idiot. With an idiot like you as his subordinate, even if he wasn't an idiot to begin with, you've made him an idiot.”Gu Hao sneered.
"Is the Tang's top scholar so vulgar?" Zhao Yicheng frowned and said lightly.”
"Idiot!" Gu Hao cursed.
"Even if you kneel in front of me again in the future, I will never beg King Sui for mercy on your behalf," Zhao Yicheng said coldly.”
"Idiot." Gu Hao cursed again.
Zhao Yicheng's face was gloomy as he said angrily,""Can't you say something else?"
"Alright, I'll say something else." Gu Hao nodded.”
Zhao Yicheng felt relieved. Then…
" You're a big idiot. Your whole family is idiots. Your idiot son is blind…" Gu Hao granted Zhao Yicheng's request.
Zhao Yicheng's breathing became heavier. His expression was extremely gloomy, and his lips were trembling.
The group of Golden Guards looked at each other in dismay. They looked at Gu Hao with respect.
They all thought,"So when scholars scold others, they are as vulgar as us!"
Hou Junji was speechless.
According to his investigation, this top scholar should be an extremely refined and talented scholar.
But now, he felt that this scholar's words were several times worse than those of some old hooligans in the military camp.
"It seems that when civil officials scold others, they are not much more elegant than generals!”
Hou Junji mused.
"Vulgar! Vulgar! "Vulgar…" Zhao Yicheng was so angry that his hands trembled.
"Heh, vulgar? Why do I feel like I'm telling the truth? Don't tell me you've always considered yourself a scholar?”
" Hmph!" Gu Hao snorted and looked at Zhao Yicheng mockingly." You're spouting nonsense and smearing my name. Do you think I'll talk to you nicely?
What you did was despicable and despicable. There was no bottom line. How could I have wronged you by calling you a big idiot?”
Zhao Yicheng's expression was extremely ugly as he stared at Gu Hao coldly.""If you don't die, I'll snatch the ground with my head!”
"I'll give you the same words." Gu Hao said calmly," Your master might not die, but why won't you?
Don't tell me you know the secret that your master knows?
So what if you know? Have you ever heard of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys?
You should think about whether you can still be saved…"
Zhao Yicheng's expression changed slightly.
This time, he thought that Gu Hao's house was safe.
After all, Gu Hao was also one of the assassins. No one would suspect him.
But he had never imagined that Hou Junji would be so quick to find this place.
In his haste, he had no way to escape. He only wanted to drag Gu Hao down with him.
Now, with Gu Hao pointing out the fate he was about to face…
Fear surged into his heart uncontrollably.
"As long as you can tell us enough valuable secrets, you still have a chance to live.”"You should be glad that Prince Changle wasn't injured in the slightest."”
Zhao Yicheng's face was expressionless, but he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Prince Changle was indeed not injured at all, but he was frightened.”Gu Hao said lightly," If you think that it's not important for Prince Changle to be frightened, then you can keep this…idiot."”
Hou Junji narrowed his eyes.
He knew a little about the relationship between Gu Hao and Princess Chang Le.
"Are you using the princess to pressure me?"
"His Highness Changle has been frightened," Hou Junji coldly said,"so someone must pay the price.
However, Zhao Yicheng had just confessed to the top scholar, so I couldn't pretend not to hear it.”
"You believe him?" Gu Hao asked.
"Not a single word," Hou Junji shook his head.”
"But?" Gu Hao sneered.
"But this matter concerns His Highness Changle, so if there's even the slightest doubt, you must come with me." Hou Junji said coolly.”
Zhao Yicheng looked at Gu Hao with a half-smile and let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, I see." Gu Hao nodded and immediately said," Then I'll also reveal that General Qin Qiong was also involved in the princess's assassination. I'll have to trouble General Hou to put General Qin in jail later…"
Hou Junji's face darkened.
Capture Qin Qiong?
I want to catch him, but I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death!
"You're the future son-in-law, I won't torture you, it's just a formality.”Hou Junji snapped.
With that, he waved his hand.
The surrounding Golden Guards gathered around Gu Hao.
Gu Hao frowned.
He was considering if he should explode!
At this moment, he and Hou Junji were roughly five zhang apart.
He was confident that he could reach Hou Junji in an instant and take him down or kill him on the spot.
"Is there a carriage?"
Gu Hao asked.
Everyone was stunned.
"If I don't get humiliated, I won't leave the residence without a carriage.”
Gu Hao said lightly.
"You're a bit like a scholar now," Hou Junji said with a smile.”
"F * ck, if I didn't look like a scholar right now, your blood would've already been splattered on the spot.”Gu Hao cursed in his heart.
His bottom line was not to wear shackles.
Once he was shackled, his movements would be affected. At that time, the Overlord's body might not be able to display its true strength.
This would make him feel insecure.
As long as he was not shackled, he could burst out at any time!
When the group left the antique shop, Zhao Yicheng saw that Hou Junji had really prepared a carriage for Gu Hao. As a scholar, he asked,"I want to take the carriage too."
Hou Junji frowned and was about to berate him when Gu Hao said,
"Sigh, no matter what, you are still a scholar. The strength of a scholar cannot be lost. This official allows you to sit in the same carriage as this official.”
Gu Hao sighed and said.
After saying that, he directly boarded the carriage.
"Hmm?" Hou Junji's eyes narrowed.
At this time, he suggested to sit in the same car…Could it be that there was something fishy between them?
Zhao Yicheng's expression changed, and he was a little dumbfounded.
If he remembered correctly, Gu Hao had even scolded him for spouting nonsense and lacking in character.
"General Hou, why aren't you leaving? Don't tell me you really want to send people to capture General Qin Qiong?”
Gu Hao lifted the curtains of the carriage and said calmly.
Hou Junji coldly snorted as he glanced at Zhao Yicheng."Didn't you want to take the carriage? Why aren't you going up?"
" This…" Zhao Yicheng hesitated, feeling a little weak.
"Brother Zhao, come up." Gu Hao looked at Zhao Yicheng and said with a faint smile.
Zhao Yicheng snorted coldly and slowly walked toward the carriage.
"I don't believe you dare to kill me in the carriage.”
Zhao Yicheng thought to himself.
"If Gu Hao killed this Zhao guy in the car... then it would be easy.”
Hou Junji mused.
