Chapter 428 How many people will die in the capital?
After everyone in the palace had left, Gao helped the semi-conscious Xu Guihua up with trembling hands.
She held on to Xu Guihua's arm with great effort. As soon as she looked up, she saw Yuxiu's family of three standing on the steps in front of the pharmacy, looking at her leisurely. She felt depressed.
"Seeing us being beaten up, you're all satisfied, right?"
She didn't dare to speak when facing those ferocious eunuchs and imperial guards just now, but when she saw the people from Yuxiu's family, she was like a lion with its fur standing on end, and her whole body was full of fighting power.
Why are these people so high and mighty? It is obvious that I lived a much better life than them in the past few years.
Especially the woman named Cui, who used to be the one with the lowest status in the Xu family. But now she is standing here in gorgeous clothes, no different from the other noble ladies she has met.
Such a gap made Gao extremely angry. She felt like an old hen that had been stripped of its feathers, standing in front of a beautiful and noble golden phoenix, feeling embarrassed and inferior.
Xu Qinghe, a grown man, was too embarrassed to speak. He just glanced at her lightly and turned away with disdain.
"Why, do you mean that if we are not satisfied, we will go find those people and give you a beating?"
But Cui would not let her go. Seeing Gao, who was so full of hostility, there was no need to say anything else.
Just a few casual words made her feel like a deflated ball, unable to bounce anymore.
"We are all family after all. Do you really have to be so extreme?"
She looked at Cui in doubt, fearing that she would really bring those people back to beat them up immediately.
When Gao thought of Xu Guihua's screams and the terror in her heart, her scalp began to tingle.
He no longer dared to argue with Cui, and without waiting for her answer, he hurried away supporting Xu Guihua.
Gao admitted defeat quite quickly this time. The people from Yuxiu's family looked at each other and couldn't help laughing when they thought of the embarrassed looks of the two men just now.
Evil will be punished by evil, cause and effect will always be cyclical, retribution will always be there.
Qi Siyuan soon got the news. After thinking about it, he asked someone to pick up Xu Linzhi and took her to a villa.
"Miss Xu, was she robbed today? How did she end up like this?"
Xu Linzhi looked rather disheveled at this moment. There were several obvious scratches on her face, and her hair looked like it had been hastily tidied up.
"Your Highness, help me..."
When Qi Siyuan asked Xu Linzhi this, tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.
She had no one to tell about the grievances she had felt these days.
Before, she saw Xu Guihua being carried back home half dead. She had only said a few rumors, but Gao acted like a sick woman. She pounced on her madly, pressed her under her, beat her, twisted her, and cursed her.
What about you and your whole family should have been killed long ago, what about you never having a chance to turn over a new leaf, what about you were bullied like a dog before...
Although they have been cursing at each other these days, they have not yet started to fight.
She never imagined that just a few sarcastic remarks would touch Gao's nerves and make her beat people like a mad woman.
Gao's hands were very powerful. No matter how Xu Linzhi struggled and resisted, she couldn't break free from her restraints, so she was beaten very hard.
Xu Qingrong and several of the Xu family's brothers originally wanted to go forward to help, but the men of the old Xu family were not going to just stand there and watch them with murderous eyes, as if they were ready to fight at all costs.
So everyone in the yard stood there and watched Xu Linzhi screaming in pain at the beating given by Gao.
If Ajin hadn't come quickly with his men, she would have been killed by Gao today.
"My time is limited. If you have any conditions, just tell me directly."
The woman in front of him was crying, but Qi Siyuan didn't show any sign of wavering. He spoke in a rather cold voice.
"As long as the information you provide is valuable, it would only take me a few words to help you get out of your current predicament."
Qi Siyuan naturally knew everything that happened in Xu Linzhi's family.
But that was all caused by their own actions, and they only deserved what they got.
However, Qi Siyuan was not an immoral person. The information he had obtained from Xu Linzhi came in handy.
Since I promised her to protect her, of course I will do what I say.
Xu Linzhi thought that those people would not be able to find her after she moved, but she had no idea that those people would sneak outside her yard again after just a few days.
However, there were people sent by Qi Siyuan guarding this place. Although there were quite a few of them, they were all captured without exception.
After the interrogation, all the previous events in Xu Linzhi's family were revealed.
Hearing that these people insulted the girl when they failed to steal, Qi Siyuan, as an upright man, would certainly not forgive them and immediately dealt with them.
Several more groups of people were killed by Ajin and others, and only then did the situation become completely quiet.
However, Xu Linzhi's family did not know about these things, and Qi Siyuan did not ask anyone to tell them specifically.
Seeing that she was indeed living a miserable life, Qi Siyuan began to think about whether he should move their family to another place to settle down.
But he quickly put the idea aside.
"You mean to say that you had that weird dream again, in which the Yuan Dynasty fell into turmoil because of them?"
Qi Siyuan stared at the woman in front of him, trying to find some truth from her face.
"It is absolutely true, Your Highness. How dare I make such a big deal out of it?"
Xu Linzhi tried her best to calm herself down and act calm.
Ever since she had this idea, she has practiced this expression countless times in front of the bronze mirror, and has already gotten it just right.
"They have generals leading troops to fight in battles, civil officials managing important affairs, and help from their in-laws. They have no shortage of people or money, so naturally they will no longer take the court seriously..."
Xu Linzhi spoke eloquently, and her words were very detailed, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
She was just a little girl from the country, but when she analyzed these national affairs, her analysis was clear and reasonable.
"Do you know how many people will die in the capital if you say that?"
