Chapter 136 You only know how to lie to me!
Gu Yu didn’t expect that their family’s affairs would be so widely discussed.
At least, that’s how his younger brother-in-law described it.
He didn’t know how Gu Qingheng managed to inquire about gossip without being discovered by others, and yet he could hear every word of the outside news before returning home to tell him.
It was also thanks to Gu Qingheng’s photographic memory that he remembered everything when speaking about the Gu family news from the outside, and then told it all.
When Gu Yu heard about these matters, he wasn’t surprised by the news itself, but rather by his younger brother-in-law.
With Gu Qingheng’s skills, he would clearly be a good candidate for a spy or an actor in another era!
To be able to inquire about all of this…
“Brother-in-law, that’s all I’ve heard. Who exactly spread our family’s news? When I went to the academy today, some classmates came to inquire about our family’s affairs! In the end, I got so annoyed that I told them that if anyone could surpass me in knowledge, I would tell them everything… It’s a pity they don’t have that ability.”
“Qingheng, don’t be too confident. Linfeng Kingdom is so big, what if there are scholars who are even more talented than you!”
Hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu didn’t directly answer his question, but instead reminded his younger brother-in-law not to be too complacent. He should know that there is always someone better, and not to look down on others just because he has a photographic memory.
There’s an old saying: most of the people who drown are those who can swim…
It is precisely because of self-confidence that one sometimes falls into dangerous situations.
Therefore, Gu Yu didn’t want his younger brother-in-law to encounter such a situation, which would be a huge blow to him.
“If there are, then so be it. Anyway, brother-in-law, you are one of them. I’m already used to being struck down… However, I know the background of those students in the academy, and they absolutely cannot surpass me, which is why I said it with such confidence!”
“…”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but beam with a big smile. Then, what he said next made Gu Yu speechless, thinking that his younger brother-in-law saw things quite clearly.
Especially this compliment, it was well delivered.
It hit the mark!
“By the way, brother-in-law, you haven’t answered my question just now! Our family’s news is spreading so quickly, is someone trying to target us? Or is it that the murderer who released the monster has finally lost patience!”
“It’s not that complicated. When we returned from the capital, there were so many people welcoming us at the town entrance, and they all knew your sister’s identity… Especially since they were all people of high status. Even if each of them said one sentence, the whole Lian Town would know.”
Gu Yu didn’t think it was as complicated as his younger brother-in-law suggesting the monster was involved again. In fact, the matter wasn’t complicated at all.
Although some people were intentionally spreading the news, attributing it solely to the monster murderer was too hasty.
According to Gu Qingheng’s thinking, he would probably associate the monster murderer with any minor stir in the future.
This kind of thinking is actually not good, at least for Gu Qingheng, who wants to catch the murderer, it will disrupt his thoughts.
“Ah! It’s just like that! I thought it was related to that monster! Several days have passed, and Magistrate Bai still has no news, which makes me so anxious!”
“It’s not like you’re investigating the case, getting anxious is useless.”
“But, as long as this murderer isn’t caught, I’m always worried! Brother-in-law, you don’t care either, so I have to worry about it more!”
When mentioning the murderer, Gu Qingheng sighed exaggeratedly, which made Gu Yu raise his eyebrows. Then, without saying anything, he left Gu Qingheng a little disappointed.
He thought his brother-in-law would have some reaction after saying that!
It seems he really doesn’t want to deal with this matter.
“Stop thinking about your little schemes. I have something to do right now. After I’m done, I’ll consider taking action.”
“Have something to do? Brother-in-law! I see you staying at home every day, and even talking to me lying in bed. What could be so busy? You only know how to lie to me!”
Gu Qingheng looked at the bed with disdain. Seeing his brother-in-law lying there so leisurely, he felt even more speechless, thinking that his brother-in-law didn’t even bother to prepare a draft when he lied, and that such an excuse wouldn’t even fool a three-year-old child!
Gu Yu, on the other hand, felt no embarrassment at all. He remained comfortably lying in bed, and as he reached out to flip a page of the Medical Scripture, he spoke lazily.
“It’s not that I have to be so busy that I can’t stand, and then call it being busy. I’m also waiting! Waiting for the village chief to finish handling things, and then I’ll proceed to the next step.”
“Village Chief… You’re talking about farming, right!”
“Of course, besides your sister and silver, nothing is more important than my land.”
Hearing the word “village chief,” Gu Qingheng immediately reacted and thought that judging by his brother-in-law’s personality, farming was indeed more important.
Having lived together for so long, Gu Qingheng hadn’t heard of Gu Yu’s desire to farm.
When he first heard it, Gu Qingheng wondered if he had misheard, but when he saw Gu Yu’s eyes sparkling, it was clearly true.
Generally, after becoming wealthy, few people still think about farming.
But his brother-in-law was not an ordinary person.
Therefore, with a deep obsession with farming, and after his sister was granted a thousand acres of fertile land by the Emperor, Gu Yu was even more delighted.
As soon as he rushed back to Lian Town, he began to handle the matters related to farming.
“Knock, knock, knock”
“Brother-in-law, someone’s knocking on the door. Is it the village chief? I’ll go check.”
“Mmm.”
Then, when someone knocked on the Gu family’s door, Gu Qingheng quickly ran to open it, wanting to see if the village chief had arrived.
Although Gu Yu’s desire to farm was very firm, as mentioned earlier, as long as the farming matters were handled well, he could also help catch the monster murderer afterward.
In this case, Gu Qingheng hoped that the village chief’s matters would be concluded quickly!
“Huh? Why are you here! Chen Gouzi, what are you doing at my house!”
“It’s little brother Gu. It’s been a long time since I saw you. You’ve grown! You look like you’ve been eating well. Let your dog brother have a taste of the good food! Look at me, I’m so skinny, all skin and bones, really…”
“If you have something to say, say it directly. Don’t try to get close to me like this. I don’t know you well.”
“Heh heh, is Gu Yu at home? I have something to find him for.”
“Looking for my brother-in-law?”
However, when Gu Qingheng opened the door, he saw an unexpected person.
Chen Gouzi.
Why was he here?
And he specifically asked to see Gu Yu.
…When did his brother-in-law have any contact with Chen Gouzi?
