Chapter 11 - Thrown into disorder, use the stick to beat them to death!

Also, why is today’s Young Miss, so… … wise and farsighted?

Wise and farsighted this phrase, to be one day placed on Gu Qianxue’s body will cause one to laugh one’s head off*. However, to be placed on today’s Gu Qianxue’s body, will only let others feel it is a close-fitting* to describe her appearance, this makes one convinced.

*saying: this is ridiculous

*this phrase fits her appearance

The servants looked towards Minister Gu, Minister Gu nodded his head.

Very quickly, the servants moved over a screen, as well as paper and pen.

“Place the screen between the middle of these two people.” Gu Qianxue again commanded.

In the midst of when everyone was puzzled, the screen was already placed, the two people who were going to report were separated, two sets of paper and pen were sent into the hands of the two people.

Gu Qianxue stood by the middle of the two people, lightly smiled and asked, “literate?”

The two people were puzzled by what was happening, nodded “To return the Young Miss’s question, (yes, we are) literate.”

“Literate, that is good, servants come and stuff their mouths closed.” Gu Qianxue ordered the command.

The two people turned pale with fright, repeatedly knelt and kowtowed, “Master, please understand, the Young Miss is very sinister, to stuff our mouths, how are we to speak?”

Gu Qianxue smiled and shook her head, “To stuff a mouth is already considered sinister? Don’t worry, in a moment later there will be something more sinister.” Then towards Minister Gu she spoke, “Minister, Your Excellency, please stuff these two’s mouths, in a moment then you will know whether it is true or not.”

Minister Gu and the Old Madam Zheng Shi exchanged a glance, they all were in doubt, then after Minister Gu consented, “Stuff them.”

The two people then had their mouths stuffed.

Gu Qianxue smilingly, “Both of you said you saw with your own eyes that this young lady pushed down Prince Li into the water, then did this young lady push with her left hand?” While saying it, she used her left hand and made a posture of her pushing a person. “Or, was it the right hand that was used to push?” While speaking, she acted as if she was pushing a person with her right hand.

“Since you are both literate and are unable to speak with your mouths, then please write it down.” Gu Qianxue clapped her hands, indicating the two sides of the paper in front of them.

Among the crowds, some people already saw the doorway*: stuffed two people’s mouths, then they cannot communicate, if both people write two different confessions, then it is extremely possible that they were framing someone.

*idea of the setup

Right away it can be seen that this question to hoodwink is a good method, she can also continue to shoot down questions, for example: when pushing someone what is the posture, when pushing someone what are the sequence of events, when pushing someone what did they say, etc etc.

The Young Miss is very brilliant!

The two people on both sides of the screen could never have thought that the idiot young lady could have this method, they definitely did not fabricate a story beforehand, with also that their mouths were stuff, they have no way to communicate, all eyes were centered on them and therefore they were also unable to send any signals.

Finally, with the urging of Gu Qianxue, the two people resigned and wrote, praying that these two people could write the same answer.

It’s a pity, the two people however did not have a tacit understanding, one person wrote right, another person wrote left.

The screen was removed, the two people looked at each other’s answer, they were dumbfounded.

“Master, please understand, I remember it wrong, the Young Miss should be right/left handed pushing down Prince Li, His Highness.” Two people said at the same time.

The scene for a moment was awkward.

People with discerning eyes already saw through their plans.

Gu Qianxue coldly casted a glance at the two people, “You two should pray that your answers are different, if it was the same, this young lady’s accusations of injuring Prince Li will become real, I’m afraid Minister, Your Excellency will also be unable to escape from the responsibility.”

Minister Gu’s whole face ashened..

“Or can it be said.” Gu Qianxue slowly changed her body’s direction, smilingly looking towards Minister Gu, “This is the result that Minister, Your Excellency wanted? If so, there is no need to go through this trouble, two days later, I will then be at Prince Li’s Residence confessing to the crime, don’t worry, I will again and again emphasize, this matter has nothing to do with the Minister.”

“… …” Everyone had nothing to say.

If Gu Qianxue really did repeatedly emphasize, it would be a wonder if Prince Li believed.*

* the way it was written is to say, there is no way Prince Li will believe that bullshit.

“Enough, it was all a farce.” Minister Gu raged violently with a bang, he ferociously slapped the side of the table, “What are you two’s motives?”

“Master… …”

Two people have not yet finished their sentence, Minister Gu raised his hand, “Servants, come, hit these two people to death with the stick!”

“Master spare one’s life!”

“Master this one was accused wrongly!”

“Master I was wrong!”

The two people striving to be first and fearing to be last*shouted their grievances, it is a pity, Minister Gu is already determined to end these two’s lives.

*idiom: outdoing one another

Very quickly, the two people’s yelling became farther and farther, gradually fading away, (one is ) afraid that it was caused by straying off of the courtyard, and/or* stuffed their mouths, or* to cease from wanting one’s life.

*or/and (not specified if it did happen or it was imagined because they did not know but only heard the two people getting farther)

Gu Qianxue tranquilly looked at two people’s high-ranking seats, “Minister, Your Excellency, Old Madam, both elders were looking for Qianxue to come, was it precisely for this matter?”

The thoroughly cooked duck* flew away, the most anxious was Gu Qian Rou, because no one knew the truth better than her.

*duck= male prostitute

The one who pushed Prince was Gu Qianxue, and the people who pushed Gu Qianxue were Yu Lian and Yu Cui.

Thinking to this, Gu Qian Rou used her eyes toward Yu Lian and Yu Cui to command.

The two people accepted Gu Qian Rou’s command, wavering with hesitancy, trembling from head to foot, because they know this is pushing themselves toward the pit of fire*.

*living hell

In the face of threats, both Yu Lian and Yu Cui however did not have any painstaking means, who let them two be children of this family, if they don’t listen to Second Miss, the Second Miss will not let their family members go.

Yu Lian clenched her teeth, faced Gu Qianzue’s direction and dropped to kneel, “Young Miss, you are now lying to the Minister, His Excellency, you caused such a big trouble and also is not saying the truth. Minister, His Excellency only wants to help you, but is also unable to-ah.”

Ye Cui also clenched her teeth, “Yes-ah, Young Miss please pity us, these people of Gu’s Residence, if really is because of committing a crime against Prince Li, our Gu Residence will all suffer the calamity.”
