Chapter 59: An Excellent Blackmailer
Not bad, sitting on the chair by the main entrance, Gu Yu felt a sense of exhilaration.
It wasn’t because he was sitting at the main entrance, but because all the guests in front of him were now fawning over him with subservient postures, which was truly unexpected.
After all… just a few days ago, many of these people were arrogant fellows!
“Gu Yu, our master has specifically sent someone to deliver superior ginseng, wanting to invite you to the manor for a discussion! Yet you are sitting at the entrance, what exactly do you want to do! Do you want to be enemies with my master?”
As there had been a stalemate at the main entrance for some time, a servant from a minister’s household could no longer tolerate it.
Seeing Gu Yu enjoying himself at the moment, he was instantly enraged and directly yelled at Gu Yu, wanting to use his master’s status to pressure Gu Yu.
The servant did not know what had happened between Gu Yu and the big masters in the capital, only that this son-in-law who married into the wife’s family had quite a presence, actually having so many ministers send people to invite him, yet he still put on an arrogant expression.
Such a fellow was truly in need of a lesson!
Even if the Gu family was powerful, Gu Yu was merely a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, what right did he have to be arrogant!
He held no official position, and spent his days living off women; Gu Yu was no threat at all.
He had been willing to speak politely before because Vice General Gu Qing was sitting beside him, but after such a long time, he could no longer endure it.
As a servant from the household of a high-ranking official, when had he ever suffered such humiliation!
“Be enemies with your master…”
“That’s right, my master is currently the Crown Prince’s…”
After hearing Gu Yu’s reply, the servant’s expression became even more varied, but it caused everyone around to retreat several steps, separating themselves from the servant.
Whose servant was this!
How dare he speak to Gu Yu like that, truly not wanting the head on his neck anymore!
Moreover, the situation for many ministers was similar, with clear signs of poisoning… after seeking many famous doctors, there was no remedy, and immediately someone thought of Gu Yu’s medical skills.
It was a pity that the two sides were currently inopposition.
To ask an enemy for treatment, forget it, he still wanted to keep his life!
However…
The poison in the ministers’ bodies continued to spread, and eventually, they could not even get out of bed, only able to lie on the bed and watch their bodies gradually waste away, their vitality slowly disappearing.
If this continued, death would not be far off.
Therefore, with death knocking at the door, the ministers no longer thought of anything else, and directly sent the butler to Gu Residence to invite someone.
They must invite Gu Yu!
Although many suspected that their illness was caused by Gu Yu, because their lives were in danger, everyone, even if they suspected it, could not say it, and could only swallow it directly, not letting Gu Yu know!
It was precisely because of this that when everyone watched the servant repeatedly court death, they felt a tumultuous feeling in their hearts, wondering if this descendant wanted to murder his parents, thus sending this servant to Gu Residence?
It should be known that angering Gu Yu was even more serious than angering others.
To view Gu Yu merely as a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family was definitely the beginning of seeking their own demise!
“Enemies… Hmph, your master is not worthy! Since you’ve come to Gu Residence and still have such a foul mouth, I’ll discipline you on behalf of your master! Guards, slap his face!”
“Yes!”
“Don’t beat him to death, our Gu family is not an unreasonable place. Even if this servant is to die, he should die in his own home!”
Gu Yu glanced coldly at the servant, then suddenly sneered and waved for the guards beside him to act.
Immediately, the sound of slaps echoed repeatedly, giving people a creepy feeling.
The sound was too loud!
Indeed, it was worthy of being the residence of someone from a military background! Even the guards’ slaps were so loud, it was truly unexpected!
In the future, it would be better to stay away from Gu Residence!
Otherwise, just being slapped might lead to death.
Gu family, truly not to be trifled with!
“Alright, let him leave! If he can’t control that foul mouth again in the future, it won’t just be a slap… Oh, I forgot, you are already dead.”
After Gu Yu gave his instructions, he looked at the venomous gaze cast by the servant and couldn’t help but smile.
His deductions were usually very accurate.
This servant dared to put on airs at the entrance of Gu Residence, and by the time he returned to his manor, he would likely have his life taken before he could even report the matter.
Afterwards, someone would be sent to apologize, wanting Gu Yu to be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against a servant…
Regarding the subsequent plot, Gu Yu had already guessed most of it, but he did not want to follow the script.
Even if it was just a servant, being able to look down on him like this was related to the master he followed.
Therefore, he must pay the price.
More lives as the price would be best… anyway, Bai Qian would not be in danger, and now it was time for Gu Yu’s amusement.
Of course, one point must be admitted, Gu Yu was petty…
No matter who it was, if they angered him, they could not escape.
Thinking of these things, and seeing the servant, whose face was swollen like a pig’s head, stagger away, Gu Yu leaned back lazily in his chair, his gaze shifting towards the others.
As Gu Yu’s gaze swept over them, many lowered their heads, or met Gu Yu’s gaze with a brilliant smile, their faces full of sincerity like seasoned actors, not feigning at all.
In this regard, Gu Yu was somewhat impressed, thinking that the people sent by the other ministers were all astute individuals!
However, even so, they could not sway him.
If those old fellows came in person, there would still be a possibility of negotiation… he personally administered the poison, and he knew the extent to which the poison had spread, it was not enough to make people collapse on the bed and unable to move.
However, if some more time passed, Gu Yu could not guarantee it.
Therefore, to quickly come to Gu Residence and publicly apologize, letting them show their embarrassment to the civilians… just thinking about it made him feel it was very fun!
As for being retaliated against afterwards, Gu Yu did not take it to heart at all.
If he could deal with these people once, he could deal with them a second time!
Moreover, it was these people who made the first move, so Gu Yu launched his counterattack… no matter from any aspect, Gu Yu stood at the highest point of judgment, and no one could fault him.
Even if his method of resolution was a bit unconventional, were the actions of these people sending killers to hunt him down not unconventional?
Gu Yu had been very annoyed by assassins during his journey leaving the capital.
Gu Yu remembered it clearly.
So, now it was time to repay the debt.
If he couldn’t get what these people had embezzled their entire lives, Gu Yu felt he couldn’t be an excellent blackmailer.
