Chapter 357 Some Gu people shed tears
At this time, Yu Jiuer from the Witch Village had just received a pigeon letter from Jun Mo.
Jun Mo might be afraid that the letter would fall into the hands of others, so he only conveyed several important messages to her in English: first, the eldest prince rebelled and was executed; second, the fifth prince was rewarded for suppressing the rebellion and saving his father, and was crowned emperor; third, their family was demoted to Yinshan and would never be allowed to return to Beijing; fourth, Jun Mo asked her to wait for something in the Witch Village, and then return to Yinshan County to meet him when the thing arrived?
As for what it was, Jun Mo did not say, perhaps it was not convenient to say.
"It's so mysterious, what on earth is this thing?" Yu Jiuer racked her brains but couldn't figure out what it was.
The Eighth Princess said with a worried look on her face: "The situation in the capital has changed, and the palace must be in chaos. Father doesn't know what will happen? Other people in the palace don't know what will happen either."
Yu Jiuer analyzed: "Don't worry, your fourth brother, who is the most threatening, was only demoted to Yinshan, so I think everyone should be fine. Your father lost the throne, but everyone should be saved!"
She was not worried, but rather happy. This time, her family could finally be reunited in Yinshan County, right?
As long as they were on guard against the new emperor and prevented him from doing anything to persecute Yinshan County or colluding with people from the Western Regions to frame the people of Yinshan County, their family would be local emperors in Yinshan County and their lives would be no worse than in the capital.
"We just need to wait patiently in the Witch Village!" Yu Jiuer said and went about her business.
Recently, she and the Sixth Prince have been studying the Gu people. As long as they can control the mother Gu in the Gu people's bodies and completely eliminate the Gu people from Miaojiang, the King of Miaojiang will have one less helper, and the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Princess will be relatively safer in Miaojiang.
However, after reading Jun Mo's letter today, in which he explained the origins of these poison masters, Yu Jiuer had another idea in her mind.
She came to the back mountain and saw the Sixth Prince fiddling with the instruments to study the Gu people. She smiled and said to him, "Sixth Prince, the prince sent a letter. He said that these Gu people are all strong men who know martial arts. Most of them are from the Great Dong Dynasty. They were deceived and came to Miaojiang because of the temptation of silver."
After Yu Jiuer told the Sixth Prince about the contents of Jun Mo's letter, the Sixth Prince said with admiration: "The prince is really amazing. He was busy dealing with political enemies, but he was able to find out the ins and outs of the Gu man so quickly. It's a pity that he couldn't grab the throne!"
"It's not a pity! There is gain in loss! What belongs to us will be taken back in the future." Yu Jiuer was not worried at all, and said to the Sixth Prince with a gleam in her eyes,
"Once we wake up these Gu people, why don't we just recruit them as guards? You need manpower to deal with the Miaojiang King, and we need manpower when we return to Yinshan County to guard against the new emperor and the people from the Western Regions. Let's split it between us!"
"It would be great if I could recruit them for my own use! But I don't have the money to support them! I'll give them all to you!" The Sixth Prince laughed awkwardly, looking embarrassed. "I can only take one step at a time now. It's not easy to survive!"
"Don't be discouraged! You have a fatal weapon in your hand, why are you afraid of it?" Yu Jiuer said and winked at the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince looked confused. Does he have a killer weapon?
Yu Jiuer reminded him tactfully: "The one in the eighth princess' belly is the legitimate son or grandson of the Shang family. The Shang family is rich enough to rival a country. If you take good care of it, won't you become rich?"
"This, this..." The Sixth Prince was a little tongue-tied. Princess Jing was indeed cunning. She had already thought of how to use the baby before it was even born?
Hasn't his cheap "daddy" ever thought about this?
Yu Jiuer patted the Sixth Prince on the shoulder and advised him earnestly, "Don't think you are noble. If you are well, the Eighth Princess will be well; if the Eighth Princess is well, her child will be well. You two have been inseparable for a long time! Don't be polite to Brother Shang. Money is just a thing outside of the body. He won't mind."
Money makes the world go round. If money can solve a problem, is it still a problem? If the Eighth Princess and the Sixth Prince can dominate Miaojiang, then Miaojiang will also be in her pocket, right?
Yu Jiuer's mind was calculating rapidly.
The Sixth Prince shook his head and laughed, not taking it to heart. He excitedly pulled Yu Jiuer over and said, "I have made a new breakthrough in my research on the mother Gu in the body of a Gu person today. Look!"
As the Sixth Prince spoke, he plucked the guqin in his hand, which produced a melody that numbed the ears.
"I am hypnotizing the mother Gu. When the mother Gu is asleep, the Gu owner will be able to regain consciousness for a moment!" The Sixth Prince suppressed the excitement on his face and continued to concentrate on plucking the strings of the zither.
After a while, Yu Jiuer really saw that the eyes of several poisoned people gradually became clear. Even though they still could not control their bodies, they finally had their own consciousness.
They looked at the Sixth Prince and Yu Jiuer with pleading eyes. They wanted to speak and reach out for help, but they couldn't.
They are like souls imprisoned in bodies, longing for redemption.
Yu Jiuer comforted them softly: "Don't worry, just wait a little longer, you will recover soon, we are working hard!"
Hearing Yu Jiuer's comfort, some of the Gu people shed tears.
The tears seemed to hit Yu Jiuer's heart. She sobbed and assured them: "Don't worry, we will never give up on you!"
When the Gu master who had just woken up heard this, a gleam of hope appeared in his eyes.
Just when Yu Jiuer and the Sixth Prince were filled with joy, something happened in the Witch Village.
On this day, many officials came to the Witch Village and surrounded the entire village, saying that the people in the Witch Village used witchcraft to harm people, resulting in the deaths of civilians.
Xinyu and several sisters from the Witch Village have been thrown into jail, and the police are going to arrest Wu Cuihua, the head of the village, and the parents of those girls for questioning.
For a moment, the entire witch village was in chaos.
Yu Jiuer knew that since she bought all the Gu wine in the Witch Village, Xinyu and those women who were running for the Saint had turned their attention to the outside world, looking for other ways to make money.
But they should know the rules of the witch village and not do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth! What is going on?
The police officers were in the right and came in with great force. They didn't give the Sixth Prince any face at all and directly arrested the witch chief and other related people as soon as they came in.
Of course Wu Cuihua refused to accept this and started fighting with them.
There were a large number of officials, and they relied on their numbers to be rude to everyone. It seemed that they came prepared.
The guards of the Eighth Princess were only concerned with surrounding the Eighth Princess and protecting her.
She is pregnant now, and the Sixth Prince did not let her go out to take risks.
When the Sixth Prince was blowing the flute in his hand and was about to call out the poisonous insects for help, the Third Prince appeared. He was calm and composed, and seemed to be waiting to see the Sixth Prince's performance.
Yu Jiuer said to herself: Not good!
Xinyu and her friends were arrested for using witchcraft to harm others, and it was just a routine matter for the officers to take their families away.
If they not only refuse to cooperate but also attract poisonous insects to harm the officials, then the Third Prince will have even more reason to accuse the witch and all the villagers of treason, which could result in exile at the least and beheading at the worst.
What's more, there are a large number of Gu people hiding in the mountain behind them. If the Third Prince finds out that there are Gu people hiding in the Witch Village and directly accuses them of raising Gu people and endangering the people, then the Witch Village, the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Princess will all be finished.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiuer rushed over and held down the Sixth Prince's hand to prevent him from summoning the Gu worm, and shouted loudly to Wu Cuihua: "Stop! Wu, stop it! Don't cause trouble, the officials are just calling you in for questioning as a routine matter, don't commit some trumped-up crime!"
After Yu Jiuer's shout, Wu Zhangshi woke up as if from a dream. He immediately stopped fighting and asked everyone else to stop.
She forced herself to smile and said to the Third Prince, "I haven't exercised for a long time. I want to spar with the officials when I see them. We will go with you!"
The plan was discovered. The Third Prince looked at Yu Jiuer with a dark face, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "This maid next to the Eighth Princess has some brains! Humph! Take her away!"
Yu Jiuer bowed and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness!"
After coming to Miaojiang, Yu Jiuer had always appeared in front of the enemy as a maid. The Third Prince obviously did not expect that there was a smart person here who saw through his plan. He angrily ordered the officials: "Take this daring maid away and interrogate her!"
Yu Jiuer was dumbfounded. She was just joining in the fun, but ended up getting herself involved?
