Chapter 100: Where did this brat come from?
“Director Qingshan, I have come to ask how to deal with the Wang Clan.”
“After Xu Wang returns to the capital, I will have my students jointly memorialize the Emperor. With the evidence you sent, we can directly expose Xu Wang’s actions, and the Wang Clan will surely be severely hit.”
“Hmm… that’s acceptable, but I think Director Qingshan needs to know one thing.”
“?”
When Gu Yu met Director Qingshan, he sat opposite him without any pleasantries and got straight to the point, asking about Director Qingshan’s subsequent arrangements.
Upon hearing Director Qingshan’s words, Gu Yu pondered for a moment, and what he said next made Director Qingshan look at him with confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say!
Seeing Gu Yu’s solemn expression, it was clear that what he had to say was very important.
“The Wang Clan is not fighting alone. They also have a very powerful ally supporting them. However, the other party is not from Linfeng Kingdom… But, the mysterious person helping the Wang Clan has already administered medicine to the Emperor.”
“What! Administered medicine to the Emperor!”
“I’m not entirely sure about the specific medicine… It must be very potent to make the Emperor cast aside his dislike for the Wang Clan.”
Afterwards, Director Qingshan was greatly shocked to hear Gu Yu’s words.
He never expected such a thing to happen!
But how did Gu Yu know about it!
“Cough, cough, the attention shouldn’t be on me now. Let’s get back to the main topic! Even though the Emperor has been drugged, if many officials memorialize together, it won’t appear too unusual, but we must be more careful afterwards.”
“En, I got it! I’ll write to my students now and tell them to be cautious.”
Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction after hearing Director Qingshan’s words, and then thought that his mission was completed and it was time to leave.
After leaving Director Qingshan, he still had to go to Magistrate Bai.
“Then I won’t bother you any longer, Director Qingshan…”
“Wait, Gu Yu, as your ally, I think it’s necessary to ask about the source of this information to ensure its authenticity.”
“It’s inconvenient to reveal the source of this information… However, I can guarantee that the information is indeed true.”
“In that case, I am relieved.”
Director Qingshan was extremely curious about Gu Yu’s possession of a lot of important information, but Gu Yu could not reveal the channels through which he obtained it.
Although Gu Yu was satisfied with Director Qingshan as an ally, it was better for his family alone to know his relationship with the alliance.
The alliance involved too much, and Gu Yu did not want to take risks.
Director Qingshan was not insistent on knowing, he just wanted to confirm the truth of the information. Seeing Gu Yu dare to guarantee it, his heart immediately eased, and he asked no further questions.
Even if Gu Yu committed murder and arson, Director Qingshan would not say much, as long as he could take revenge on the Wang Clan…
After bidding farewell to Director Qingshan, Gu Yu immediately walked towards the county office. After dealing with the enthusiastic bailiffs in the office, he finally met Magistrate Bai.
After chatting with Magistrate Bai for a while, when the latter tried to pry some information out of his words, Gu Yu pretended not to know and blocked everything in the end.
Magistrate Bai returned empty-handed and finally realized that he was no match for Gu Yu’s abilities and could not get any information.
Instead, after Gu Yu made a few suggestions, Magistrate Bai took them all down and prepared to send people to investigate them thoroughly.
This included the robbers encountered on the way into town.
“Gu Yu, aren’t you going to the capital these days?”
“What for? There are too many robbers on the road, and I’m too lazy to go.”
When he finally found an opening, and Magistrate Bai’s eyes were filled with anticipation, Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking, “The Emperor isn’t even anxious, but the eunuch is dying of anxiety…”
Magistrate Bai was clearly looking forward to the downfall of the Wang Clan.
However, judging by his demeanor, he must have received news in advance… knowing what the Wang Clan would face next, which is why he couldn’t hold back.
In this regard, Gu Yu didn’t let Magistrate Bai continue to worry, but simply said.
“Magistrate Bai, the capital is a very dangerous place right now. You should not bring trouble upon yourself and be careful not to harm innocent people.”
“I’m just curious. As the parent official of Lian Town, I don’t have time to go to the capital.”
After hearing Gu Yu’s suggestive words, Magistrate Bai immediately replied, while thinking… Since Gu Yu said so, it must be that when Xu Wang returned to the capital, a war without smoke would break out.
He also had to write to his family at the Bai family, telling them to act carefully recently.
“That’s naturally excellent. I believe it won’t be long before a good show unfolds in the capital.”
He smiled at Magistrate Bai. Although it was a little regrettable that he couldn’t go to the capital to watch the show in person, thinking about the situation the Wang Clan would face afterwards, Gu Yu felt an urge to laugh.
When the Wang Clan wanted to deal with the Gu family, they didn’t know they were already being targeted by others.
Having too many enemies can be a disadvantage sometimes!
After finishing his explanations to Magistrate Bai, Gu Yu did not stay long at the county office.
He declined Magistrate Bai’s invitation to stay for dinner and continued to walk out of town with his hands in his sleeves, leisurely heading home.
Along the way, he didn’t encounter any more robbers.
However, as he was nearing Yang Family Village, Gu Yu did encounter robbers.
Unlike the previous robbery, this time the victim was a woman in red. Seeing her beautiful appearance, it was no wonder these robbers wanted to rob her of her virtue.
However, even a blind person could tell that this woman was not to be trifled with.
The weapon hanging at her waist was proof that she was not an ordinary person… these robbers were truly blind.
“You little slut, you’re lucky to have run into us today! We don’t want your silver or grain, just serve us for a few nights, and we’ll let you go!”
“Heh heh, exactly! If you want to live, just comply willingly!”
“No one can save you now, don’t even think about resisting!”
Listening to the lines of these cannon fodder, Gu Yu found it somewhat amusing, so he didn’t walk further but stopped nearby, wanting to see how things would unfold.
Seeing Gu Yu stop, the robbers impatiently waved at him, signaling him to leave quickly and not to disturb their pleasure.
“Where did this brat come from? I’m in a good mood today, so get lost!”
As the robbers spoke, their eyes were fixed on the woman in red, as if saliva was about to drip from their mouths.
It was rare to encounter such a high-quality woman, their luck was truly too good!
