Chapter 141: They are the most suitable!
“Hey, hey, do you know?”
“Know what?”
“The latest rumors in the capital, they’re quite rare!”
“Rare?”
In the teahouse, as the conversation between the two men began, the bored people around immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what had happened recently.
They had no choice but to listen to others when there was no gossip channel.
Therefore, places like teahouses were packed every day.
One loves to talk, and one loves to listen, making it the best place to spread gossip!
As for the second-best place, it was the brothels and gambling houses.
However, these places were money pits. Ordinary civilians would only go to such places to hear gossip if they had nothing better to do.
After much thought, teahouses, being affordable and good value, were the most suitable places for them!
“Lately, the young masters in the capital have always been provoked by someone named Gu Yu, and their outcomes are always very bad!”
“Gu Yu? Oh my god, I know this person. Isn’t he the son-in-law of General Gu Qing? The husband of the first female general of Linfeng Kingdom, Gu Yu, also known as the Divine Doctor Saint Hand! Don’t be so brief, tell me in detail.”
“Hehe, you know Gu Yu!”
“Nonsense, even if I don’t inquire about gossip much, I still know Gu Yu’s name. He’s been very popular recently, truly admirable!”
“It’s good that you know, so I don’t have to explain further… As for the details, I’m not too clear myself, I just know that the young masters who have committed evil deeds in the capital have all been dealt with by Gu Yu alone.”
While saying this, the speaker was also full of curiosity, wondering how Gu Yu managed to do it!
Although the Gu family had great power, the capital still had many established powers that were not easily provoked.
However, Gu Yu seemed to not know what fear was…
Not only did he not stop causing trouble, but he became even more aggressive!
From provoking one person at the beginning, he now provokes a group!
When a few young masters gathered to do bad things, Gu Yu would always appear silently, and then with a bright smile, these people would fall into misfortune the next second.
Those who forced virtuous women into prostitution were given aphrodisiacs, turning their own attempts to force others into a situation where they assaulted each other.
Young masters who enjoyed bullying others were slapped in the face with imperial gold bars, leaving them with swollen faces like pigs.
Those who plotted murder, after being discovered by Gu Yu, were directly crippled…
Since Gu Yu arrived in the capital, the security in the capital has been incredibly good.
Young women and little wives at home no longer need to fear being bullied by local tyrants, and can confidently buy goods on the streets. Small vendors no longer need to worry about their stalls being smashed, and are now happily shouting their wares.
Even the stray dogs and beggars in the capital no longer need to worry about being abused.
Everything was developing in a good direction!
“Oh my god, Gu Yu is doing this, it’s too dangerous! If he gets targeted, it will be terrible.”
“Targeted? Don’t worry, as long as Gu Yu doesn’t target others, we should be grateful.”
“???”
“Think about it, no matter what Gu Yu did, those people have no way to retaliate! Those who were provoked by him were all from noble families. Putting aside any secret moves, just going to the Imperial Palace to impeach Gu Yu would be enough for him to suffer!”
“This… what can be done about this!”
After hearing the word “Imperial Palace,” people suddenly became anxious, not knowing what the Imperial Palace would do to Gu Yu.
Let alone the people sitting opposite and listening, even those around who were eavesdropping were extremely anxious, wishing they could sit over directly and ask the speaker to stop keeping them in suspense and just tell them quickly!
If they continued to tease them, their fists would be itching!
“Let me finish what I have to say! Gu Yu has been fine until now, and you can tell from this… After all, those who went to the Imperial Palace to report him have already gone. If they wanted to deal with Gu Yu, they would have done so long ago, why wait until now!”
“Is that so… Could it be that Gu Yu has connections in the palace?”
“Be confident, and remove the ‘could it be’.”
As they spoke, the two smiled in unison.
The people around who were listening also nodded in understanding, and then, without continuing to listen to gossip in the teahouse, they hurried away, preparing to tell their friends and relatives about it.
However, these people left a little too early.
“However, although it’s a very good thing that Gu Yu deals with these unruly young masters, there’s another rumor.”
“There’s more?”
“Yes, it’s said that after dealing with these young masters, Gu Yu also extorted a lot of money from them.”
“…”
…
“Master Gu, the young masters who committed evil deeds in the capital have all been dealt with.”
For Su Zhong, these past few days had been so stimulating that he couldn’t sleep at night.
Although he was forced by Gu Yu to find his former friends, he was very surprised when he saw Gu Yu ruthlessly dealing with them.
After all, he knew very well that the people who were dealt with were not simple characters.
To be honest, Su Zhong had previously thought that Gu Yu would be assassinated and lose his life.
But, as it turned out, he had overthought it…
Not only did Gu Yu not die, but he was living well.
Even his provocations were becoming more and more skillful!
Not only did everyone who was provoked by Gu Yu pay a heavy price, but their purses also shrank considerably.
Every time Su Zhong saw the grief and helplessness in their eyes, he felt a wave of sadness surge in his heart, thinking that Gu Yu was the worst scoundrel!
So much silver, it truly makes people envious and jealous!
If he had known Gu Yu was so capable, he wouldn’t have flirted with him before. Wouldn’t it be better to be Gu Yu’s subordinate?
How could he be working for free like this, with no share in anything.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt!
“So soon? I thought it would take a few more days!”
“The Lunar New Year is coming soon, and these people will also stay at home honestly, so they won’t be going out frequently recently.”
Seeing Gu Yu’s regretting expression, Su Zhong couldn’t help but twitch his lips, wondering when Gu Yu would be satisfied!
He had already gained so much, he should stop quickly!
Otherwise…
As Su Zhong was thinking, he suddenly got stuck.
Even though he wanted to think of some bad outcome, he ultimately found that… no matter how Gu Yu stirred things up, he was still standing in front of him, and nothing had happened.
Not to mention the people who were secretly dealing with Gu Yu, just the lack of reaction from the Imperial Palace was quite rare!
“That’s right, it’s almost Lunar New Year.”
“Yes, Master Gu, why don’t you…”
“It’s alright, we’ll continue after the Lunar New Year. Anyway, the red envelopes received during the Lunar New Year are even more.”
“…”
