Chapter 2 Debt Collector
Gu Shiwei listened, rubbed his fingers on the hilt of the sword a few times, and bent down to make a sign of mercy.

"Killing relatives out of justice? Three years have passed. Does Mr. Gu still only know this way?"

As soon as the word "three years" came out, everyone in Fushan Hall suddenly became sad. Gu Yucheng, the head of Gu family, who was about to rush out to call the Imperial City Division, stumbled and bumped into the desk in front of him.

The table was knocked out by him, making a sharp creaking sound, and then the cups fell to the ground and started to crackle.

Gu Yucheng turned around in embarrassment, seeing gruel sprinkled on his blue brocade robe embroidered with dark seaweed patterns. He shook with disgust, raised his hand and pointed angrily at the smiling girl in front of him.

"Who are you? Gu Shiwei died three years ago. She can't be alive! What is your purpose of pretending to be her?"

As he spoke, his face darkened, "Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you have done something to get away with it. What kind of shame do you people from the fifth house have to enter the Gu family again? Three years ago, you dared to mention three years ago ?”

"If Gu Younian hadn't been involved in the Fei Que case, my son would have been a top scholar. As for being in the court, he would be afraid?"

Gu Yucheng's words were sonorous, and the Gu family in the room seemed to have found a backbone, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

Gu Shenwei rubbed his fingers on the long sword and made a gesture to draw the sword. Gu Yucheng was so horrified that he suddenly took three steps back and almost fell to the ground.

On a rainy night three years ago, it was this sword, these hands, and the child in front of me that killed so many people that the soil on the mass grave turned red.

Unlike the Gu family who devoted themselves to studying, Gu Shiwei was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

Gu Yucheng thought about it and couldn't help but take a few steps back again. He grabbed the Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist tightly, as if once Gu Shinwei drew his sword, he would collapse the illuminated beads. Her face looked like it was exorcising ghosts.

Gu Shiwei smiled softly and took out two pieces of paper from his arms.

Without looking at Gu Yucheng, she walked straight to Gu Yan and placed the two pieces of paper on the table.

"Three years ago, when Mr. Gu led the officials to stab me with ten thousand swords, he had already thrown a letter of renunciation on my body. Since it is not a marriage, how can we destroy the relationship with justice? Since it is not a marriage, we must keep the accounts clean."

"Gu Shiwei is now innocent and has established a female household in the government. Everyone is familiar with the law. My father only has one daughter, and the female head of the household can also inherit the family business. Here are two copies, one is a list of my father's private property , one share is my mother’s dowry.”

"I'm here today not to ask for my life, but to collect my debt. In three days, please follow the list and send it to the house with the pear tree at the entrance of Sangzi Lane."

She said this and smiled again without waiting for Gu Yan to speak.

"Three years ago, my father and I were not guilty of the Fei Que case and the mass grave siege. Why don't we dare to come to Gu's family? But you guys, are you feeling guilty?"

Gu Shiwei's tone was aggressive, but his expression was as calm as water, as if the person who escaped death was not her.

In the 27th year of Shenghe's reign, the official family was ill for a long time and decided to make his eldest son Zhao Wei the crown prince, and entrusted him with the imperial seal to supervise the country.

At the grand ceremony of the East Palace, hundreds of officials gathered together and handed the brocade box containing the jade seal to Zhao Wei. The moment he opened the lid, the jade seal inside turned into a sparrow and soared into the sky!
This spectacle is rare to see in a century, and everyone present felt that a disaster was imminent.

Just when everyone was looking for traces of the flying bird, the official's personal guard, Li Chang, suddenly burst out and drew his sword to assassinate the prisoner!

During the crisis, Prince Zhao Wei blocked the official's sword with his body, injuring his right arm.

When Li Chang saw that the assassination failed, he decisively committed suicide and blood spattered on the spot!
When the emperor was angry, blood flowed like a river.

Wang Shen, the deputy governor of the Palace Front Division who was in charge of guarding at that time, was sent to prison and hanged himself in prison before the trial came out.

Gu Shiwei's father, Gu Younian, was the head of the Six Imperial Guards at the time and was Li Chang's immediate superior. Although he tried his best to prove his innocence, he became the number one criminal in the case together with Wang Shen and was executed in Market entrance.

Three years have passed, and the Fei Que case was originally settled. However, the prince's recent rebellion has brought old matters to the fore again.Gu Shiwei didn't want to get any answers from these people. She came here today to ask for her money.

"I've said my words, and I won't say goodbye. In three days, if you are short of money, I will go to the Imperial City Secretary on behalf of Mr. Gu!"

As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the main entrance of Fushan Hall. Her expression of being as if no one was around was so arrogant that it stung the eyes of everyone in the room.

When she disappeared, Gu Yucheng came back to his senses from his anger. He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping up and down crazily.

"Father, how dare this yellow-haired girl? She threw down two scraps of paper and wanted to exchange them for ten thousand gold? Who gave her the courage? Let's not be fooled by her. Gu Younian committed such a heinous crime. How can Gu Shiwei be pardoned?"

Gu Yanzhi looked at his eldest son who was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves to expose his arms, and gave him a displeased look.

"Why are you so anxious? If she dares to be so arrogant, she must have something to rely on."

He was too shocked when Gu Shiwei came back from the dead before and didn't have time to think about it. Now that he calmed down, he noticed some clues.

"In Dayong, who dares to mess with the Fei Que case at this stall and pull Gu Shinwei out of the dead water?"

"She's come to your door. Do you think what she wants to get is just a few taels of gold?"

Where are the few taels of gold?It’s obviously a lot of gold!

Gu Yucheng's mind was buzzing and he shouted directly, "She became Zhang Chunting's lackey! How come the Imperial City Division even accepts women!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yucheng immediately covered his mouth and nose. He glanced around the room with his eyes rumbling, not even missing the beams. He found nothing unusual, and then raised his sleeves to wipe Wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Misfortune comes out of your mouth!

There was no need for his father to teach him a lesson, Gu Yucheng himself wished he could give himself a big mouth!
The Imperial City Division follows the ancestral law and is not affiliated with the Tai Cha.He was responsible for taking charge of the imperial palace, guarding the surrounding houses, and spying on intelligence. He was the emperor's hands, eyes, ears, and nose.

Who is Zhang Chunting?
If the Imperial City Secretary is the official hyena, Zhang Chunting is the vulture hovering over the heads of civil and military officials.

He dared to kill even the legitimate son of the middle palace, so why not?
This eunuch is now the most favored minister in front of the official family!

Ever since he emerged as the imperial envoy two years ago, the water in the moat has never been clear.

Who wouldn’t be frightened after hearing these three words?

Gu Yucheng thought as a chill ran down his back, "If that's the case... doesn't that mean we've offended the Imperial City Division..."

"I'll go find Junan and ask him to ask Di Ji to find out..."

Gu Jun'an is his second son. He was smart since he was a child. After becoming the top student in high school, he was given the blessing of being married to Emperor Shun by the government. Now he is the most promising descendant of the Gu family and the only hope for the family.

Gu Yanzhi didn't say anything and looked towards the door quietly.

The rain kept falling, and it seemed to be a bit heavier than in the morning.

Things are about to change in Bianjing...
