Chapter 614: 310: Zhi Li Tragedy! Gui Xingfu killed his wife and daughter!_2

Gui Xingfu said, "As your father, I wouldn’t harm you. Get out, quickly, get out..."

Of course, Gui Xingfu knew that Zhi Li’s critical weakness being attacked must not be let known to anyone.

With a grit of his teeth, Ling Ao turned and left.

By now, Turing Si had come to her senses and pointed at Gui Xingfu, "Gui Xingfu, you beast, you beast..."

She finally understood what had happened, her own husband, for the sake of power and wealth, had actually sold their daughter to Zhi Li to be desecrated.

She immediately felt chills running down her spine, reflecting on the over twenty years of affection with her husband, it was truly like sleeping with a venomous snake.

"My wife, Turing Si, is mentally unstable, suffering from a toxic hysteria. To prevent it from spreading to others, I’ve locked her up in the dungeon." Gui Xingfu knelt and said, "Please indicate, Your Highness, if what I’ve done is appropriate?"

Turing Si truly couldn’t believe her ears, was she really being labeled insane?

"Beast, beast, I was blind to have been with you, you beast..." Turing Si wept tears of blood and cried out in agony.

Gui Xingfu stepped forward and struck her with his palm.

Immediately, Turing Si fainted, her head hitting the ground hard, fresh blood oozing from her mouth, her life hanging by a thread.

And all this was witnessed by Gui Qinshao.

At this moment, she was beyond the capacity to grieve, her whole nervous system seemingly numbed completely.

The whole ordeal, she felt as if she were watching a movie, as if it was someone else’s story.

When pain reaches its limit, all sensation is lost.

The entire world was utterly devastated!

At this time, another eunuch came over, bringing a large amount of ice, wrapping Zhi Li’s vital areas.

Then quickly, he pressed several acupoints below Zhi Li’s abdomen, stopping the surge of fresh blood.

Gui Xingfu was completely prostrate on the ground, not moving, waiting for Zhi Li’s verdict.

Zhi Li’s mind raced, who had leaked this incident to Gui Qinshao?

It wouldn’t be Gui Xingfu, probably not Ling Ao either. Could it then be Turing Duo, that greedy, cruel woman who overestimates her own intellect?

Yes, it’s very likely Turing Duo!

So, what should he do now?

Assign a death sentence to Turing Duo?

The life or death of Turing Duo is something Duke Turing Tuo wouldn’t care too much about. But his action of executing Turing Duo could alarm the Turing Clan and cause a huge rift between him and the Turing Clan.

The Turing Clan is currently the first family in the military, controlling three hundred thousand of the Dragon Guard Army, with old students and friends all over the world, being his greatest support.

Duke Turing Tuo is not as foolish as Count Suo Long; he wouldn’t clean-handedly hand over the military power after the war was over. Over the decades, every war fought, Turing Tuo has placed key positions within the army and now it’s too significant to be unseated.

Moreover, Turing Duo is still needed for the plot to seize Luan Yang City.

Gui Xingfu clearly knew that Gui Qinshao’s assassination attempt was whose doing, and coupled with his actions towards Turing Si, a huge rift would likely form between the Gui Clan and the Turing Clan.

Undoubtedly, that would be beneficial to him.

Gui Qinshao’s assassination attempt on the future king was a heinous crime, and there must be someone behind it directing her.

Who is this instigator?

Since she previously had an affair with Suo Lun, framing Suo Lun for the crime of assassinating the crown prince could not be more suitable, especially when right now there lacks a reason to attack Tian Shui City.

Moreover, the death of Suo Lun hadn’t been publicized, making it even better.

With the crime of attempting to assassinate the crown prince, it would be enough to exterminate the Suo family.

Instantly, Zhi Li coldly said, "She attempted to assassinate me; there must be someone behind it instructing her. I’ve heard she had an affair with Suo Lun; investigate thoroughly and bring to me that mastermind behind the scenes!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Gui Xingfu said.

Zhi Li said, "The assassin, I’ll take her away."

"Yes, Your Highness," Gui Xingfu said, "Dead or alive, at Your Highness’s disposal!"

Then, the eunuchs stepped forward, about to lift Gui Qinshao up.

"Hmm?" Zhi Li snorted coldly.

Clearly, he did not want Gui Qinshao to be touched by any man, not even by eunuchs.

"Yes," said the eunuch respectfully.

Immediately after, Zhi Li took the small dagger used by Gui Qinshao to stab him, broke off most of the blade, leaving only half an inch of the jagged edge, and then violently stabbed it into his own chest, causing blood to spray forth immediately.

Then, the eunuch shouted loudly, "Assassin, assassin..."

Following that, silk brocade was used to completely wrap the bloodstains on Zhi Li’s lower body, pretending he had been stabbed in the chest.

Dozens of elite guards from the residence of Shaojun Qili rushed in, protecting Zhi Li as he left the Earl of Linhai’s mansion.

A few female warriors approached, placed Gui Qinshao into a sack, and carried her straight away.

...

Within two hours, the news of Shaojun Qili’s assassination attempt spread throughout the entire City of Rage Wave.

Suddenly, it was earthshaking!

Everyone in the Earl of Linhai’s mansion saw clearly that Zhi Li had a dagger embedded in his chest, blood gushing like a fountain, his face pale as paper!

Then, tens of thousands of troops from the City of Rage Wave were mobilized upon hearing the news, and all the city gates were shut tight.

Fully armed soldiers were stationed on every street, and the City of Rage Wave began an indefinite curfew.

At the same time, the Forbidden Army protecting the royal palace also completely closed the palace gates, and all large wartime machinery was moved onto the palace walls.

Tens of thousands of the Forbidden Army were at the ready, with crossbows cocked and swords drawn halfway, prepared to face battle at any moment.

The entire city, even the entire Rage Wave Kingdom, anticipated an impending storm!

...

Inside Duke Turing’s Mansion!

"Idiots, complete idiots!"

"Slap..."

Duke Turing Tuo delivered a fierce slap, flinging Turing Duo out of her wheelchair and onto the ground, where she landed hard and spat out blood.

Turing Duo was also filled with dread.
