Chapter 1771: Limbs Broken, Eyes GougedEditor: Henyee Translations

There were two people standing outside the woodshed. They were sent by Bai Hang.

When they saw Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan, they hurried forward. "Young Master, Young Madam."

"Is he in there?"

"Yes."

Shao Qingyuan nodded. "Stay outside and don’t let anyone in."

With that, he led Gu Yundong through the door.

Although this house was called a woodshed, it was quite big inside. It was half filled with firewood, but the other places were very clean.

At this moment, there were two men tied up in the house.

One of them was tied up and blindfolded, lying unconscious on the straw pile. The other was tied to a wooden pillar in the middle of the house, but his mouth was gagged.

This person was quite clear-headed.

When the door was pushed open, the person trapped on the pillar shook his head forcefully and started to struggle.

Shao Qingyuan stepped forward and tore off the cloth from his mouth.

The man’s face turned red, and his anger surged with uncontrollable hatred. "Young Master Shao, what’s the meaning of this? Why did you kidnap me here? I’m an invited guest. What right do you have to treat me like this? Aren’t you afraid of being mocked if word gets out?"

Shao Qingyuan looked at him coldly. "Don’t you know why I kidnapped you?"

The man was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization. "I know. Is it because I spoke up for Miss Han and questioned Mrs. Shao? Is it a joke that you want to kidnap me because of this? Does Mrs. Shao have to listen to good words and be praised by the world?"

Gu Yundong looked at him with a half-smile. "I can still hear different opinions, but... don’t you feel guilty saying these things? When Han Ying spoke, you couldn’t wait to jump out and help her. When the marquis family left, you were in a hurry to leave. If that’s not guilt, what is? Most importantly, you don’t seem to be on the guest list."

This person was the guest in Room 11 who had spoken up for Han Ying previously.

Panic flashed across the man’s face. "Of course I am."

"No, you’re not," Gu Yundong said. "You’re just a shill that Marquis Pingnan found to deliberately embarrass me. Since you’re here to cause trouble, I can naturally settle the score later, right?"

"You, you’re talking nonsense. I didn’t."

Shao Qingyuan said, "There’s no need to say so much to him. Since he’s not an invited guest, he must have deliberately snuck in. There are so many nobles present, so we have reason to suspect that he wants to harm someone. For example, the royal family, the old duke, or even Marquis Pingnan. By the way, there was an assassin in the marquis family. It might be this person."

That person’s eyes widened. He did not expect to be labeled as an assassin for no reason.

He hurriedly shook his head. "No, I didn’t. I’m not. You, you all said that I was speaking up for Miss Han just now. How could I be an assassin from the marquis family? Isn’t this contradictory?"

"Why would there be a conflict? It makes sense that you deliberately curried favor with Miss Han to get close to Marquis Pingnan before assassinating him."

The man: "..."

Gu Yundong said, "Since he’s an assassin, he deserves to die. Break his limbs, dig out his eyes, and send him to the government."

"Are you guys crazy?"

Shao Qingyuan snorted and attacked him.

That person cried out, "Ah..." His voice was especially tragic and mournful, making the person lying on the straw pile who had woken up at some point in time tremble violently.
