Chapter 147: Just ask if you’re afraid
Gu Yu was not clear about the function of the iron scrolls and decrees in his hands in previous dynasties.
However, in Linfeng Kingdom, it was very useful.
How useful…
It was probably to the point that when he took out the token, even though the head of the Zhou family was so angry that his nose was about to turn crooked, he could only obediently kneel and pay his respects.
Even the onlookers were not spared.
Only when Gu Yu said it was okay could the kneeling people get up.
“Brother-in-law, can we still choose people?”
“Of course, after all, I have the iron scrolls and decrees in my hand. As long as I am willing, no matter what the other party is, they have to kneel honestly for me.”
In the silence, Gu Qingheng’s slightly immature voice was very clear.
However, after Gu Yu spoke, everyone’s attention immediately shifted.
Thinking of Gu Yu’s calm demeanor when he appeared, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind and was not afraid of the Zhou family at all.
After all, with such a powerful weapon as the iron scrolls and decrees in hand, who could this young man be afraid of!
Even if the Zhou family had been loyal and righteous in the past, the fact that there was no more iron scrolls and decrees in their family already explained the situation.
No matter how arrogant the Zhou family was, they had to kneel like them at this time.
Thinking of this, the onlookers who were still a bit indignant were no longer unhappy… after all, the people of the Zhou family were also kneeling with them.
Thinking of the Zhou family’s usual arrogant appearance, it was quite ironic that they were now kneeling with these civilians.
However, it made them feel extremely comfortable!
“Father-in-law, I’m late.”
“Haha, you’re not late, not late, my son-in-law is amazing!”
Gu Yu, who had been arrogant just now, changed to a respectful attitude when he spoke again.
When someone in the kneeling crowd secretly looked up, they saw Gu Yu holding a stool like a sycophant and inviting Gu Qing to sit and rest.
As for where the stool came from… it was a clever servant who came with Gu Yu who had already moved a stool from a nearby tea stall before Gu Yu took out the iron scrolls and decrees.
When Gu Yu directly placed the stool in front of the head of the Zhou family, Gu Qing felt that all the grievances he had suffered before were released at this moment, making him feel refreshed and as if he had become more than ten years younger.
This head of the Zhou family had humiliated him quite a bit just now.
Now he was kneeling in front of him like a grandson, which was really satisfying!
He had wanted him to kneel before, but now he had reaped what he sowed!
Heh heh, serves him right.
Thinking of these, Gu Qing happily sat on the chair, looking at the head of the Zhou family with a proud expression. When his angry gaze met the other party’s direct stare, he was no longer as forbearing as before.
He had a good son-in-law supporting him, so what was there to be afraid of!
However, Gu Qing also did not expect that Gu Yu still had the iron scrolls and decrees… otherwise, why would he have been so cowardly before, he would have just fought.
Anyway, his son-in-law would easily deal with the Zhou family later.
“Hey, Zhou family head, you were so arrogant just now! You dared to be so arrogant to my father-in-law, now you know you were wrong! You have to kneel for stepping on your son’s foot? How about I slap your son in the face now!”
“Forget it, I’m different from you guys, it’s too insidious to attack children.”
“I am a very principled person! Since you people were not kind to my father-in-law, I will deal with you directly.”
As he spoke, Gu Yu shook his head and swayed, making the Zhou family members present extremely angry.
As for the other onlookers, after the initial shock, they had also recovered and were secretly looking at Gu Yu and the Zhou family arguing, feeling it was very exciting.
It’s just that kneeling and watching now affected the viewing experience a bit.
And Gu Yu did not intend to let the Zhou family go easily.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave at this time.
When Gu Yu spoke in the tone of a hooligan, the head of the Zhou family heard it and his face was full of resentment.
This time, he had miscalculated, he didn’t expect… this guy Gu Yu to appear in the capital.
However, the Zhou family had a reputation outside.
Even if he had the iron scrolls and decrees, so what? Could Gu Yu really kill him in public now? If he really dared to make a move, then Gu Yu would not be able to leave the capital alive!
Therefore, with the confidence that Gu Yu would not dare to touch him, Zhou Li did not back down or act like a grandson.
“Gu Yu, I, Zhou Li, will remember today’s grudge! You’d better pray that you can live a few more years, otherwise, at this time next year, it will be your death anniversary!”
Although Zhou Li was still kneeling, he did not control his words at all and still looked arrogant, which made Gu Yu shake his head.
He originally didn’t want to do this, but unfortunately, the other party was unrepentant!
Now that he had already made a vicious threat, if Gu Yu didn’t deal with Zhou Li, he would be letting him down.
Actually, Gu Yu could understand the other party a little… anyone who could walk freely on the street and suddenly encountered a stronger person who was even more overbearing than him would definitely be very unwilling.
He even thought about killing the person to regain his status.
However, this was not a wise move.
Just like Zhou Li met Gu Yu, it was destined that he would suffer a crushing defeat.
One had to be ruthless when dealing with such people.
“Qingheng, bring the carriage we were sitting in just now.”
“Young master, I’ll go, no need to trouble the young master.”
“No, you keep kneeling, let Qingheng go.”
Gu Yu smiled slightly, and then asked his brother-in-law to bring the carriage over.
And Gu Qingheng was very puzzled about the use of the carriage after hearing this.
His brother-in-law, wouldn’t he want to use the carriage to crush the Zhou family?
Wouldn’t that be disregarding human life!
This is not good!
However, at this time with so many people around, Gu Qingheng did not ask any questions, but began to carry out Gu Yu’s order.
It was just a fleeting thought, his brother-in-law was not an idiot, he would naturally not do something like killing someone in public.
Now that he wanted this carriage, he must have some other use.
“Gu Yu, show me what you’ve got. You’re trying to scare me with fake tricks, you’re really spineless!”
“Who’s scaring you, you’ll get what’s coming to you later! Aren’t you just relying on the special status of the Zhou family and assuming I won’t deal with you!”
“…”
“Don’t worry, when it comes to being special, I’m stronger than you.”
Gu Yu’s sudden request to bring the carriage made Zhou Li’s expression change, and he didn’t know what Gu Yu wanted to do.
However, he couldn’t ask directly now.
He could only watch helplessly as Gu Qingheng brought the carriage over, and then Gu Yu’s smile became more and more radiant. When he walked to the carriage a few steps away, he raised a hand and lifted the curtain, and then a golden light burst forth!
After a closer look, it turned out to be a carriage full of gold bars.
“These are all imperial bestowed gold bars rewarded by the Emperor. If I use them to hit you, I’ll just ask if you’re afraid.”
Gu Yu said with a smile, his appearance was extremely beautiful, but Zhou Li felt a chill all over his body, as if he had met a terrifying evil ghost.
