Chapter 102: What Exactly Happened!
When Xi Yang really brought the craftsmen over, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth speechlessly, thinking how he was such a Cassandra!
After untying the craftsmen, before they could say much, Gu Yu directly took out silver and stated his desire to build two more rooms.
Silver is always hard currency.
Seeing Gu Yu take out a large amount of silver, the craftsmen no longer panicked. Instead, they happily reached out to accept the silver and then patted their chests, guaranteeing that they would build the houses well.
Given Xi Yang’s excellent ability to apprehend people, the craftsmen dared not slack off. The houses that originally required a lot of time to build were completed in just a few days.
This made Xi Yang extremely happy. He then moved into the house with a nervous heart, starting a neighborly relationship with Little Red.
Before Little Red came to the Gu family, Xi Yang felt it was a waste of time to live outside the space. It was much more comfortable to be taken in by Gu Yu and not have to think about anything.
However, seeing his future wife appear now, Xi Yang naturally no longer felt it was bad to live outside the space.
After all, even Little Black could find a wife, so he could too!
However, while Xi Yang was full of fighting spirit, Little Red firmly remembered her mission. When Xi Yang wanted to ask Little Red out to play, she directly shook her head and refused.
Moreover, Little Red always followed by Gu Mengyao’s side, acting like a bodyguard, protecting against any potential danger.
In this regard, not only did Xi Yang feel depressed, but Gu Yu did as well.
Gu Yu didn’t want to be intimate with his wife under the watchful eyes of others…
However, since Little Red was also here to complete her mission, Gu Yu could only place his hopes on Xi Yang.
With multiple assists, the relationship between Xi Yang and Little Red had made significant progress.
“Yu, Little Red just came to our house. Let her get used to it more.”
“It’s not a matter of getting used to it. Looking at Little Red’s rigid appearance, I think… we should let her give up the idea of guarding you, so she doesn’t always bring a mobile third wheel.”
Listening to Gu Mengyao, Gu Yu spoke with some frustration, thinking that he had it tough.
A while ago, he had just gotten rid of his younger brother-in-law, who clung to him like a fly to a pasted piece of dog skin, and now a new third wheel was sticking to Gu Mengyao…
Moreover, although it was said to protect the Gu family, it was clearly protecting Gu Mengyao now!
However, after Little Red appeared, she brought a lot of fun to their lives.
Now, all three members of the Gu family were helping Xi Yang pursue his girlfriend. If Xi Yang ended up unsuccessful, it would be a disservice to their matchmaking efforts!
Amidst this comfortable life, the latest news finally arrived from the capital.
Wang Xu had fallen.
After dozens of officials jointly submitted their impeachment, even the Emperor could not protect Wang Xu in front of the civil and military officials.
Moreover, with complete evidence, the culprit Wang Xu suffered greatly and was directly thrown into prison.
Wang Xu, who was thrown into prison, never expected that this day would come…
As soon as Wang Xu returned to the capital, he immediately convened a very brief meeting with important members of his clan.
The topic of the meeting was how to deal with the Gu family!
Regarding Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, Wang Xu had gone to Lian Town this time but not only failed to get revenge, but was also tricked. He hated them even more.
Therefore, when discussing how to deal with the people of the Gu family, Wang Xu further fanned the flames, urging his clansmen to pay attention to this matter and strive to come up with a suitable solution.
However, at this moment, Gu Qing directly broke down the door with his soldiers.
Then, before Wang Xu could speak, Gu Qing produced an imperial decree.
After Gu Qing read it, Wang Xu panicked when he heard the matters of embezzlement of disaster relief grain and murder to seize grain being explained clearly.
He didn’t expect… that even though the plan was so meticulous, it was still discovered!
It must be targeting the Wang clan, otherwise, they wouldn’t know so much detail.
“I am not convinced! Someone must have framed me! They want to harm the Wang clan, I want to see the Empress Dowager!”
“Wang Xu, as the saying goes… those who do too much injustice will end up killing themselves. Since you dare to do such a thing, you must accept the consequences. Now, your retribution has come, so come with me!”
“Go with you? Nonsense, who do you think you are, Gu Qing, to speak to me like this! I’ll go to the Emperor right now and see who dares to target me.”
After a moment of panic, Wang Xu, worthy of being the head of a great clan, immediately reacted and resolutely refused to leave with Gu Qing.
If he could see the Emperor, he would have a chance to avoid going to prison and suffering.
After all, if only one person reported it, he could just threaten them…
“Who do you think I am? You don’t need to worry about it. As for daring to speak to you like this… it’s naturally because I have been entrusted with an important task by the Emperor to capture you.”
“Impossible! The Emperor would never treat me like this!”
“Hmph, it seems you still don’t know what has happened! In the morning court today, dozens of officials jointly petitioned the Emperor, demanding impeachment…”
Seeing Wang Xu’s disbelieving look, Gu Qing immediately recounted the day’s events, wanting Wang Xu to stop struggling and go with him obediently, otherwise, he warned, unpleasant things would happen.
Upon hearing about dozens of officials petitioning together, Wang Xu immediately froze on the spot, not expecting such a development!
Why had things changed so much just because he left the capital for a while!
Wang Xu did not doubt the truth of Gu Qing’s words, unless Gu Qing wanted to die, he would not forge an imperial decree.
Afterward, after giving a few instructions to his clansmen, Wang Xu stopped struggling and immediately left with Gu Qing, being directly imprisoned.
Although he had fallen to such a bitter end, Wang Xu was not particularly panicked. After all, his own sister, the Empress Dowager, was still alive, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to get him out of prison.
However, his position as clan head was likely lost.
After the experience of being imprisoned, Wang Xu was no longer pure and therefore could not continue to hold the position of clan head.
Considering all the influences, Wang Xu himself knew the outcome. Therefore, at this time, he was not thinking about how to retain his position but rather who to support to become the new clan head!
Someone he could control and who could also silence others.
However, after a few days passed, Wang Xu couldn’t sit still anymore.
For him to be locked up in prison for such a long time, if it were in the past, it would have been impossible!
Moreover, the jailers in prison did not have good expressions towards him… This made Wang Xu suddenly have a bad premonition, wondering if something had happened to the Wang clan!
If nothing had happened to the Wang clan, as the Empress Dowager’s brother, his clan could not abandon him… because abandoning him would mean abandoning their connection with the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, what exactly had happened!
