Chapter 85 Call Your Wife Over
For those involved in official circles, the moment they heard the word “Emperor,” they would surely become extremely nervous.
Fearing they had done something wrong, affecting their official careers.
However, Gu Yu was not among them.
Because he had never considered becoming an official… In this situation where he had no fear, he naturally wasn’t afraid of others causing trouble for him.
Therefore, at this moment, facing Xu Wang, Gu Yu maintained his usual defiant demeanor, not giving him the slightest bit of a good look.
“Haha, I was just saying. Since Gu Yu, you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”
“That would be for the best. However, I hope… in the future, Clan Leader Wang will not summon me for trivial reasons like wanting to meet. After all, my time is very precious.”
When Gu Yu saw Xu Wang trying to smooth things over, he didn’t stay there to argue with him. After speaking, he immediately took Mengyao Gu and her younger brother away from the county office and headed back home.
This trip to the county office was not without any reward.
At least, he knew that Xu Wang had arrived.
“Brother-in-law, you were so cool just now! You actually shut Xu Wang up so badly that he was speechless. Everyone else was stunned, clearly never having seen such a scene!”
On the way home, when Gu Qingheng thought about what had just happened, his face was filled with excitement. Then, as he spoke, he tightly clasped one hand over his chest, completely becoming a little fanboy of Gu Yu.
However, Mengyao Gu was not as excited as Gu Qingheng; she was a little worried instead.
She was not at Gu Qingheng’s carefree age. As she grew older, the things she needed to worry about also increased. Although Gu Yu’s defiant act towards the Wang clan felt satisfying at the time, now she had to consider the aftermath.
She couldn’t put herself in danger.
“You’re already this excited about just this? Don’t worry, the real show is yet to come! At least, after Xu Wang appeared, things have become serious, and there’s no turning back. We can only go all the way down this path.”
“Yu, isn’t this too dangerous?”
“There’s no other way. After all, I didn’t foresee Xu Wang appearing here. He just wanted to invite me to distribute disaster relief grain. Who knows what ill intentions he has… If I don’t want to be passive, it’s better not to go with him, so he doesn’t use the disaster relief grain against us and frame our family.”
Gu Yu completely understood Mengyao Gu’s worries.
However, if he didn’t refuse Xu Wang’s invitation at that time, the chances of being framed using the disaster relief grain were very high. Gu Yu couldn’t take that risk.
Therefore, directly angering Xu Wang was another path he could take.
Moreover, with reason and evidence, he didn’t need to worry too much… With the situation developing to this point, what was there to worry about!
Now, he still needed to let the alliance carefully investigate what Xu Wang would do next!
Xu Wang was the one escorting the disaster relief grain this time. Not receiving such important information was also a lesson for Gu Yu, making him not trust the alliance intelligence organization too much.
Everyone makes mistakes; even a horse can stumble.
It was most reliable to believe in himself!
Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Mengyao Gu also nodded, knowing that what he said was very true, and they couldn’t be led around by Xu Wang.
From now on, they would have to be more careful.
After the three of them returned home, Gu Yu immediately went out to find an informant from the alliance.
When he relayed the news of Xu Wang’s appearance here, seeing the other party’s disbelieving look, Gu Yu quickly waved his hand, telling the alliance to investigate it themselves.
It was time to update the intelligence database.
After the alliance member left, Gu Yu didn’t go home directly. Instead, he went to spend some time with Little Black. After watching Little Black put on a show, Gu Yu immediately asked it to lead the way and quickly arrived at the granary gate.
Since the alliance members had taken the grain away, the granary was already empty.
However, when Gu Yu reached out and pushed open the granary door, he saw a large pile of grain inside, and his mouth couldn’t help but curl upwards, thinking that his guess was indeed correct.
Xu Wang asking him and his little wife to go to the county office was definitely not just for show.
It was to stage a diversion.
Unfortunately, Gu Yu had already played this game.
“Little Black, you’re too polite, Xu Wang. You gave me such a big gift for no reason, I’m almost overwhelmed with flattery.”
He said with a smile to Little Black standing beside him. Then, under Little Black’s humanly contemptuous gaze, Gu Yu collected all the grain in the granary into his space, preparing to turn the tables.
Since the Wang clan wanted to frame the Gu family with this grain, now let them experience the feeling of failing to steal a chicken and losing the rice, wouldn’t that be very frustrating…
It was estimated that the grain piled in the Gu family granary was the disaster relief grain brought to Lian Town this time.
It wasn’t that the Wang clan’s scheme was not brilliant, but they did not expect Gu Yu to have a space. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
However, Gu Yu only needed to use his will to collect the grain into his space, and all troubles would cease to exist.
He could even get a batch of grain for free, and selling it directly to the alliance would be a considerable income.
After collecting the grain from three granaries in succession, Gu Yu finally finished collecting all the grain. He thought that luckily he had already had the alliance members take the grain away, otherwise, if it were mixed together, his space wouldn’t be able to hold so much grain at once.
Leaving even one bag of grain in the granary could lead to the Wang clan framing them.
Gu Yu would not take any risks.
However, he didn’t know how many people helped transport the grain. They had only been gone for an hour, how could they load so much?
It was estimated that someone was monitoring them all around…
Now, Gu Yu was starting to look forward to seeing Xu Wang’s expression when he excitedly rushed over, saw the empty granary, and experienced the feeling of losing both money and people!
Just thinking about it, Gu Yu felt that it definitely wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.
“Roar roar roar!”
“Alright, you’ll get yours. You did very well this time, you didn’t go out and alert the enemy, allowing me to harvest so much grain… Call your wife over, I’ll give you both spring water to drink.”
“Roar!”
After Little Black’s roar suddenly sounded, Gu Yu glanced at it. Then, without much guesswork, he knew that Little Black was asking for rewards now.
This time, in order to keep an eye on whether the Wang clan would play dirty tricks, Gu Yu had asked Little Black and its wife to guard here early on. No matter what movement they heard, they were not to go out and scare people away, lest that guy Wang try other bad tricks.
Even bringing his younger brother-in-law to Lian Town was because Gu Yu didn’t want him to affect the unfolding of events.
As for the current outcome, it was still within controllable limits.
Next, he just had to wait for Xu Wang to bring people over to put on a good show.
