Chapter 104 Gu Yu is like a riddle
“It’s because of my cousin, who knows a big official in the prefecture. As soon as I came in, I heard Mengyao call him the magistrate, and I was a bit flustered.”
After hearing Gu Yu’s question, Lu Yashan did not hesitate and directly explained why she was hiding from Magistrate Bai.
Gu Yu found nothing out of place when he heard this.
It was just that Lu Yashan’s cousin was quite capable, not only targeting Lu Yashan but also her parents, truly threatening the lives of her entire family.
“Niece Lu, your father and I are brothers, and I don’t know any such cousin!”
When Magistrate Bai heard Lu Yashan’s words, he quickly spoke to clarify his innocence.
Before, Magistrate Bai had been somewhat disbelieving when he heard that Lu Yashan was the daughter of his friend. However, now listening to Lu Yashan speak, there was some credibility.
The truth of the matter would only be known after returning and asking.
Lu Yashan did not immediately acknowledge Magistrate Bai after hearing his words, clearly having some reservations and not daring to fully believe that Magistrate Bai was truly her father’s good friend.
“Yu, should we go take a look?”
“Hmm, yes, but… forget it, let’s go. I also want to see what kind of monster this cousin who occupied other people’s property is, to have done such a fierce thing.”
When Gu Mengyao spoke with some worry, Gu Yu’s initial reluctance to go to the prefecture was shattered again, and he nodded helplessly, thinking it was still worth a trip!
In the past few days, Lu Yashan and Gu Mengyao got along very well, wishing they could call each other sisters.
Now seeing Lu Yashan in trouble, Gu Mengyao could not help but help.
Gu Yu couldn’t stand his little wife being busy, and had to get involved to prevent Gu Mengyao from getting tired.
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Lu Yashan and Magistrate Bai’s eyes lit up, clearly knowing that with Gu Yu’s intervention, the Lu family’s danger was resolved.
“Alright, it’s better to strike while the iron is hot. Let’s go now!”
Since they had decided, Gu Yu did not want to drag it out any longer.
After all, the sooner it was resolved, the sooner it would be over.
Saving him further rest time…
“Gu Yu, I don’t have time to leave Lian Town right now. Let’s wait for two days, after I finish with my current…”
“No need. Magistrate Bai, you can wait here for good news. Mengyao and I are enough.”
Then, seeing Magistrate Bai speak with a look of worry, Gu Yu directly shook his head, rejecting the proposal to delay for two days.
Just by looking at the worry in Magistrate Bai’s eyes, Gu Yu knew what he was worried about… it was nothing more than the fact that Lu Yashan’s cousin knew a big figure in the prefecture, and if he and Gu Mengyao went rashly, they might be implicated.
Gu Yu was not afraid of this.
He dared to teach those high officials a lesson in the capital, let alone officials only in the prefecture.
It was completely a small matter.
Afterwards, Gu Yu immediately had Xi Yang prepare the carriage. After Gu Mengyao and Lu Yashan got into the carriage, Gu Yu and Xi Yang sat in the driver’s seat, and the four of them quickly rushed towards the prefecture.
Lian Town was not too far from the prefecture, but it was not close either. By the time Gu Yu was drowsy from the carriage ride, they finally arrived near the prefecture.
After Gu Yu asked where Lu Yashan’s home was, he immediately told Xi Yang to drive to the Lu family.
When the carriage stopped, Gu Yu saw that the Lu mansion was surrounded by people, three layers inside and three layers outside, and raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lu Yashan’s cousin, although sinister enough, was not decisive enough!
If it were him, after driving Lu Yashan away, he would immediately kill her parents to ensure he obtained the Lu family’s property without being vilified by others.
Now, using some kind of poison was completely unnecessary.
Gu Yu felt no anticipation for dealing with such a person. He simply strode out of the carriage and waved his small hand, and the guards outside the Lu mansion fell down in a row.
Then, when he called Gu Mengyao and Lu Yashan out, Lu Yashan covered her mouth with her hand when she saw all this in front of her, completely not expecting Gu Yu to be so powerful!
In just a few minutes, he took down so many people. No wonder they said Gu Yu was unfathomable.
It turned out to be true!
Gu Yu was like a puzzle, impossible to solve.
“Call my cousin of the Lu family out and tell him that Gu someone has come to visit specifically.”
After Gu Yu woke one of the men up, he watched the man nervously run into the Lu mansion. He did not follow, but stood calmly at the main entrance of the Lu mansion, waiting for Zhou Lindan to come out from inside.
However, because of the sudden collapse of so many people, the surrounding onlookers increased, completely surrounding the Lu mansion tightly.
“Oh my, what happened here!”
“Why is it the Lu mansion again? Alas, this Lu mansion is truly unlucky. Not only did they lose their daughter before, but now they are being provoked by others. Their luck is truly too bad!”
“Hey, doesn’t that woman look a lot like Lu Yashan, the young lady of the Lu mansion!”
“What happened!”
“So many people have fallen, are they challenging the authority? But the Lu mansion has always been honest, how could they encounter such a thing!”
As Gu Yu waited, the voices of the gossiping crowd also sounded in time, which Gu Yu skillfully let in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring them.
It wasn’t the first day he had been gossiped about by these onlookers, Gu Yu was long accustomed to it, and his expression didn’t change at all.
However, so much time had passed.
Why hadn’t Zhou Lindan come out yet? Was he too afraid to come out?
He originally thought he wouldn’t have to go in and beat people out, but now it seemed he still had to take action directly…
“Who are you, and why are you acting wild in front of the Lu family’s door, truly…”
Fortunately, Gu Yu did not have to make an extra trip.
As a male voice sounded from afar, Gu Yu looked at Zhou Lindan who appeared in front of him. He looked presentable and did not seem like a fundamentally wicked person.
However, you can know someone’s face but not their heart.
The facts proved that Zhou Lindan was an ungrateful person.
Before Zhou Lindan could finish his words, his eyes fell on Lu Yashan standing beside Gu Mengyao, and his expression suddenly froze. After he recovered, his eyes immediately turned red.
Then he quickly walked towards Lu Yashan, shouting mournfully, “Cousin, why are you only back now? Who the hell abducted you!”
“Zhou Lindan, you are worse than pigs and dogs! It was you who framed me that day, and now you want to harm my parents, you… you will die a terrible death!”
Hearing Zhou Lindan deliberately spread false news about her abduction in front of everyone, Lu Yashan trembled with anger. She then angrily raised her hand, pointed at Zhou Lindan, and cursed loudly!
