Chapter 117: The Troublesome One is Gu Yu
As Gu Yu said this, he actually never expected events to unfold in this manner.
Previously, Gu Yu was not entirely sure.
However, after saving He Li, the last words He Li spoke were profound, allowing Gu Yu to broaden the scope of his suspicions.
He Li could not possibly be from the He Sect, but his son might be…
“Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Isn’t that He Li a nouveau riche? We’ve never met him before, how does he know you?”
“He Li is not a nouveau riche. The specific situation is hard to explain right now… everything will be revealed when we reach the Tang Sect.”
“No way! Brother-in-law, I’m super curious! Tell me the reason quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep well tonight!”
Hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile helplessly. He knew his younger brother-in-law’s sleep quality very well recently!
It was so good!
So good that even if there was thunder and rain outside, it couldn’t wake Gu Qingheng up…
“You won’t sleep well? Stop fooling around. When you fall asleep, you’re like a little pig, and you even snore!”
“Impossible!!!”
After hearing what Gu Yu said, Gu Qingheng’s face showed disbelief, clearly not believing he slept that soundly.
He was a very alert person!!!
“If I had a mobile phone, I could record evidence. It’s a pity… we are in ancient times now, and there are no high-tech products like mobile phones.”
“Hmph, tonight, I will wake up in the middle of the night and give you a scare!”
“Provided you can wake up… However, there’s nothing special about He Li. It’s just that I suspect he is related to people from the He Sect.”
“Is it just because his surname is He?”
After a burst of laughter and playfulness, Gu Qingheng immediately became interested when he heard Gu Yu continue to mention He Li.
He was truly very curious about this nouveau riche who could spend a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a horse, and wondered what this person’s true identity was!
It was impossible for ordinary civilians to spend a hundred thousand taels to buy a horse.
When Xu Wang gave him five hundred thousand taels of silver, even though most of it was pooled by other officials, and his portion was very small, he still felt heartache and couldn’t sleep well for several nights.
This was information obtained by Xi Yang when he secretly investigated Xu Wang’s residence at night, and it was absolutely true!
“Not entirely. It’s too troublesome to explain, so I won’t bother. You’ll see for yourself when the time comes!”
“See for myself? Could it be that we will meet He Li again?”
After finding the explanation too troublesome, Gu Yu was too lazy to speak, and simply told Gu Qingheng to wait and see for himself.
However, he originally thought that resolving matters for the Tang Sect would be very difficult this time.
But now, it seemed… it was very simple!
“You guess.”
“……”
“Alright, let’s think about other things now! For example, the horse I was riding was sold, and I need to get a new one!”
“A hundred thousand taels of silver, how many horses can that buy! Brother-in-law, don’t be ungrateful after getting such a bargain!”
“My spring water and detoxification pills are even more expensive! He Li got a great bargain, to be able to detoxify himself so easily.”
Speaking of the horse he was riding, Gu Yu was a bit troubled.
Although the feeling of getting some extra income was good, he had to get a new mount!
He would have to lure it with carrots again to make the horse obey…
And Gu Qingheng, after hearing Gu Yu’s complaint, couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking if his brother-in-law was showing off?
Definitely showing off, right!
Selling an ordinary horse for a hundred thousand taels of silver, the profit earned in between was simply unimaginable.
If it were said out loud, a hundred people would hear it, and a hundred people would be envious!
“By the way, brother-in-law, how did you know He Li was poisoned before, and not something else?”
“When you are sick, do you show symptoms of poisoning? Purple skin, difficulty breathing, along with bleeding from the eyes and ears, and his fingertips… these characteristics combined have confirmed it is undoubtedly poisoning.”
“So that’s how it is! After confirming He Li was poisoned, I believe he has a connection with the He Sect. If he were just a common nouveau riche, he wouldn’t be poisoned by such a potent toxin!”
After describing He Li’s poisoning symptoms, Gu Yu threw the obtained hundred thousand tael silver notes into his space, and then planned to go to the market in the afternoon to buy another horse, so he would have a means of transport when they set off.
As for meeting He Li again… Gu Yu believed it would not be far off.
Now, it was best to hurry to the Tang Sect!
…
“Master He, your poison has been resolved.”
“Really?”
“Yes! I am also very curious about this. I have tried many methods for this strange poison before, but now it has suddenly disappeared as if you were never poisoned! There is not even any residual poison in your body, it’s truly strange.”
When He Li arrived at the doctor he frequented, Doctor Lin, the doctor responsible for his treatment, after taking his pulse, had a face full of surprise. He then hesitantly took his pulse several more times before believing his diagnosis was correct.
There was no trace of poison left in He Li’s body!
This was simply a miracle!
Who on earth possessed such great skill to save someone like He Li, who could only wait for death!
While the doctor was shocked, He Li was a bit better.
After all, Gu Yu had already told him before.
However, now that his life was no longer in danger, he was extremely excited.
To survive, he had paid a great price.
Now, however, he was cured with just a small pill from Gu Yu… it was also his good fortune!
Moreover, He Li felt he had endless vitality in his body now, and even living to a hundred years old would be no problem!
Thinking of these, He Li’s gratitude towards Gu Yu deepened.
For this person who gave him a second life, He Li decided to help him once.
It was also fortunate for the Tang Sect to have a connection with such a formidable figure, allowing the Tang Sect to avoid the tragic fate of being wiped out… However, with Gu Yu’s help, He Li couldn’t guarantee what the outcome would be.
The poisons of the He Sect were not a problem for Gu Yu at all!
No!
He must quickly remind his son, if he continued to make a move against Gu Yu, it would be greatly disadvantageous!
The Tang Sect was not difficult to deal with, but Gu Yu was troublesome.
Especially since Gu Yu was skilled in detoxification, which struck at the vital point of the He Sect.
Apart from being wealthy and having potent poisons, the He Sect had nothing else to boast about.
“Xiao Qiang, quickly prepare the horse, I need to return to the He Sect immediately! If it’s too late, it won’t be good.”
“Yes, Master! The horse I just bought is parked outside.”
“Haha, good! I will also try today to experience the feeling of riding a good horse!”
Then, after quickly instructing his subordinate servant, He Li strode out of the medical hall and headed towards the horse he had bought for a hundred thousand taels of silver.
