Chapter 684: Shocking news! Zhi Li vomits blood!_2

Grand Eunuch Gao Yin said, "I shall relay the message to His Majesty the King!"

Then, Grand Eunuch Gao Yin was about to take his leave.

Suddenly, Gui Xingfu knelt and said, "Elder Gao, please wait, I have important matters to report."

Grand Eunuch Gao Yin was taken aback and his gaze towards Gui Xingfu turned sharp and ice cold. Could it be that this old thief had some other tricks up his sleeve?

Gui Xingfu said, "Regarding the case where Shaojun Zhi Li was stabbed, this guilty subject has details to report to His Majesty the King."

Gao Yin said, "Speak!"

Gui Xingfu continued, "This guilty subject’s daughter, Gui Qinshao, was married to Ling Ao, the ten-thousand-man commander of the Dragon Guard Army. Shaojun Zhi Li coveted my daughter’s beauty and actually proposed to me to take her maiden/virginity rights. As a greedy and vile man, I agreed to his inappropriate request. On the wedding night, Shaojun Zhi Li attempted to violate my daughter, but Gui Qinshao, a woman of fiery spirit and purity, rather chose death over submission. She drew a dagger and furiously stabbed Zhi Li. This is the true account behind Shaojun Zhi Li’s stabbing and has absolutely nothing to do with Count Suo Lun!"

These words caused a complete uproar in the room!

No one doubted the truth of this matter since Zhi Li was indeed stabbed at Gui Qinshao’s wedding, and it happened after the marriage ceremony, exactly aligning with the timing of the bridal chamber event.

Moreover, Gui Xingfu admitted to playing the most contemptible and despicable role in this scandalous affair.

He then presented a sharp little dagger with both hands and said, "This dagger is the material evidence. My daughter Gui Qinshao held this dagger when she stabbed Shaojun Zhi Li, and Zhi Li’s blood is still on it, providing irrefutable evidence!"

Gui Xingfu was truly ruthless. In such a dangerous and urgent situation when Gui Qinshao stabbed Zhi Li, he still remembered to hide the murder weapon.

At that moment, no one thought of seizing the dagger from Gui Qinshao, nor did they consider that dagger of any significance.

Yet Gui Xingfu had secretly kept it as leverage against Zhi Li.

At the time, he had no intention of becoming enemies with Zhi Li and only wished to remain Zhi Li’s loyal dog, yet he was still so cunning. This man truly was snake-like in nature.

Furthermore, to save his own skin, he did not hesitate to present a significant token of allegiance, completely severing ties with Zhi Li and treading over his face countless times.

And what reason did the Zhi Li Sect deploy Zhi Wei and the Tuling Tuo Army to attack Tian Shui City the Su Family? Wasn’t it because Suo Lun was suspected of stabbing Shaojun Zhi Li? This was a crime of rebellion, allowing Zhi Li to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops for subjugation.

If Suo Lun was not guilty of rebellion, then whoever dares to attack Tian Shui City would be disrupting the state affair.

With this one act, Gui Xingfu completely cleared Suo Lun of any suspicion.

Thus revealing the so-called true account of Shaojun Zhi Li’s stabbing to the world, along with presenting the material evidence.

Next, only a third party is needed to take the blood sample from the dagger and test it against the Dragon Bloodline to determine if the blood truly came from Zhi Li.

Once the person and material evidence are available, Zhi Li will have to confront the most disgraceful scandal under heaven.

And what’s more ingenious is that the place where Gui Qinshao stabbed Zhi Li was a rather delicate part of his body. This secret was something Suo Lun and Gui Xingfu hinted at but did not disclose, ensuring that Zhi Li would not dare to sever ties completely.

After all, attempting to force himself on Gui Qinshao was a scandal, yet not fatal.

But once exposed that his vital part had been cut, possibly leaving him with no heirs, and utterly determining that he would be childless, then the consequences would be severe. It would directly overthrow the legitimacy of his inheritance to the throne!

Gui Xingfu indeed was a venomous snake, whose bite was deep and poisonous!

...

Within the Tian Shui City Lord’s mansion!

Gui Xingfu knelt at Suo Lun’s feet, speaking with utmost respect, "Your Highness Regent King, you are wise, especially in not disclosing the matter of Zhi Li’s vital part being cut, which absolutely prevents him from severing ties completely. This old servant admires you greatly!"

Suo Lun stared coldly at Gui Xingfu and said, "That dagger, you hid it very well."

Gui Xingfu knelt and said, "This old servant feels ashamed."

Suo Lun said, "You indeed hold Ling Ao in high regard. In the matter of Zhi Li attempting to violate Gui Qinshao, you didn’t mention Ling Ao at all."

Gui Xingfu knelt heavily and said, "This old servant is guilty!"

Suo Lun looked at him and said, "Remember, Gui Xingfu, you are a venomous snake. I will always only use you, not truly trust you, understood?"

Gui Xingfu said, "To be used by Your Highness Regent King is this old servant’s fortune!"

Suo Lun ordered, "Summon someone to write several hundred copies of today’s imperial decree to execute Zhi Wei, along with the decree to strip Gui Xingfu of his noble title, and Gui Xingfu’s confession regarding the stabbing incident of Shaojun Zhi Li. Use carrier pigeons and messengers to spread it to every noble, every Viscount and above, every county."

"As you command!" Suo Feiyang responded from outside.

Gui Xingfu’s heart trembled!

Suo Lun was truly cruel and cunning, revealing the scandal of Zhi Li’s attempted violation of Gui Qinshao and subsequent stabbing, but strategically remaining silent about the cutting of his vital part. This was completely Suo Lun’s strategy.

Now, he was about to spread Zhi Li’s scandal across the world, thereby completely clearing himself, Suo Lun, of the suspicion of stabbing Shaojun Zhi Li.

Zhi Wei’s 150,000-strong army was annihilated at Tian Shui City, Zhi Wei was executed by the King’s order, and Zhi Li’s stabbing scandal; each was a shocking event. Now Suo Lun intended to spread it throughout the world.

What great tumult would this cause? It was imaginable.

And Zhi Li’s face would be utterly trampled by Suo Lun!

Four hours later!

Several hundred carrier pigeons, carrying these shocking messages, flew throughout Rage Wave Kingdom.

Several hundred messengers, riding fast horses, dashed to every province, every county city, every noble’s domain in Rage Wave Kingdom.

Suo Lun aimed to set off a stormy sea and crash it down upon Zhi Li.

...

Meanwhile, the Tuling Tuo Army, 200,000 strong, was more than three hundred miles away from Tianlang Pass, able to arrive in two and a half days.
