Chapter 173: Lie Down and Play Dead
Just as Lin Zhi was about to say something, Gu Yu suddenly looked at him.
His body stiffened.
Immediately, he watched as Gu Yu took Gu Qing away from the yamen without any obstructions.
This turn of events left the Prefect standing beside him full of doubt, wondering if Lin Zhi had chickened out and thus didn’t obstruct them.
Lin Zhi, standing nearby, had to bear all the unspoken bitterness when he received the Prefect’s questioning gaze.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to obstruct them, but he was startled by Gu Yu’s gaze just now.
It was cold, unfeeling, and vicious.
Even the martial arts guards hired by the Lin Residence, who had killed many people, did not have a gaze as fierce as Gu Yu’s.
It was as if human life was like chickens, ducks, sheep, or dogs to Gu Yu, to be killed at will.
Upon realizing this, Lin Zhi did not continue to pester them, fearing that he would be killed by Gu Yu.
Gu Yu had not made a move now only because there were too many people present, and he didn’t want to stir up trouble.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhi’s body trembled slightly. Afterwards, with a pale face, he took his leave from the Prefect, wanting to quickly hide at home and seek protection, for fear of being killed without anyone knowing!
Even Lin Zhi regretted provoking Gu Yu!
Gu Yu was not as harmless as he appeared on the surface; instead, he was as dangerous as a poisonous snake.
Such an opponent was undoubtedly the most terrifying!
What should he do next…
“Gu Yu, how did you know I was here?”
On the way home, Gu Qing, who had sobered up, was no different from usual.
He even curiously asked Gu Yu what had happened earlier.
His appearance, as if he didn’t know exactly what had happened, made Gu Yu pause before speaking, organizing his words with a headache.
His father-in-law seemed unaware of his state when he was drunk…
“A servant from the residence ran over and told me that you were being harassed by a group of people and were then arrested at the yamen, asking me to quickly go and assess the situation.”
When Gu Yu spoke, he tried his best to beautify the situation.
At the same time, the part where Gu Qing got drunk and beat people was omitted.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing couldn’t help but nod, gaining some understanding of the situation.
“Wait, that’s not right! I only remember drinking with old friends, and I can’t recall anything else.”
Before Gu Yu could feel relieved that he had brushed it off, Gu Qing spoke again, harboring some suspicion about what Gu Yu had said.
Earlier, when Gu Qing found himself at the yamen, he immediately asked the Prefect what was going on.
After talking for a long time, he did not get any useful information.
This made Gu Qing extremely frustrated. Fortunately, his son-in-law came to pick him up, which allowed him to get out of the yamen.
However, it seemed that Gu Yu was also hiding something from him…
“This… actually, it was you, Father-in-law, who got drunk at someone else’s place, then encountered someone provoking you, and started to take action…”
Gu Yu hadn’t expected Gu Qing to be so persistent about the truth, with a look of wanting to get to the bottom of it, leaving him no choice but to tell the truth.
However, Gu Yu still omitted the part about beating government soldiers, not wanting to upset Gu Qing at this moment.
However, even so.
When Gu Qing heard that he had gotten drunk and beaten someone, his face was full of surprise, completely unable to believe that he would do such a thing.
In response, Gu Yu shrugged helplessly.
Even if Gu Qing didn’t believe it, the fact was indeed so!
The people injured by Gu Qing and the government soldiers still had swollen faces and bruises!
“Cough cough, so that’s how it is… I don’t have any memory of it. Gu Yu, please don’t mention this matter to anyone…”
“Don’t worry, Father-in-law, nothing happened. I just went out for a casual stroll this time.”
“Alright, alright, just a casual stroll!”
Afterward, listening to Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qing laughed heartily and nodded with satisfaction.
His son-in-law was truly clever.
Beating people on the street was not an honorable thing to talk about.
Therefore, Gu Qing decided to forget about this matter.
Pretend it never happened…
However, was he really that drunk?
He had never gotten drunk at someone else’s place before…
Gu Qing pondered this in his heart, but he didn’t know… in the past, when he got drunk at someone else’s place, he had caused quite a bit of trouble.
But because they were all friends, it was not easy for others to tell Gu Qing.
What’s more, Gu Qing remembered nothing after getting drunk.
Only the servant who stayed with him had witnessed Gu Qing’s drunken rampage and then told it to the other servants in the residence.
Telling them to keep their eyes peeled when following Gu Qing out in the future.
When the master got drunk, he liked to find someone to practice with… at such times, they should not rush forward but wait calmly from the side.
After everyone around was knocked down by the master, it would be about time to take the master to another place to rest, and he would sober up in no time.
In short, as long as Gu Qing drank, do not go near him.
Otherwise, you would be knocked down…
If you foolishly got up, you would be knocked down a second time.
The best way was to lie down and play dead.
“Father-in-law, you’ve been through quite a lot just now, and you must be tired. It’s best to go back and rest quickly!”
After Gu Yu and Gu Qing returned to Gu Residence, Gu Yu was busy with some matters and wanted to quickly send his father-in-law back.
This trip to the yamen did not result in anything, but he successfully brought his father-in-law back, allowing Gu Yu to prepare many coping methods in vain.
However, meeting the heads of the nobility in the capital at the yamen was not in vain.
It allowed Gu Yu to know that dealing with these people did not require much effort at all.
“Speaking of which, I am indeed a bit tired, as if I ran several laps around the capital… I only beat up a dozen people; it shouldn’t be this tiring!”
Afterward, Gu Qing rubbed his shoulders and spoke, leaving Gu Yu speechless!
His father-in-law hadn’t just beaten up a dozen people…
But a group of government soldiers, all of whom had been knocked down.
Immediately after Gu Qing returned home in confusion, Gu Yu called for the alliance members.
“The various gambling dens in the capital have already opened their bets!”
“Yes, they are for a period of 10 days. As long as Doctor Gu leaves the capital within the 10-day period, you will lose!”
“10 days? Humph, one day is enough.”
Listening to the alliance’s intelligence personnel, Gu Yu let out a cold laugh. He didn’t know if others underestimated him, Gu Yu, or overestimated those sons of the nobility in the capital.
Next, he could only hope that those who participated in the gambling would not lose their pants.
After all, according to the situation reported last time, many people had bet on the sons of the nobility winning.
