Chapter 60 Dream on!
Gu Yu sat at the main entrance for half a day, and he had seen enough of the excitement. He felt that these guys were even more amazing than a face-changer!
The original arrogance now only left humility.
Fear of death made these people try their best to please Gu Yu and extend the lives of their masters.
Unfortunately, the person they were facing was Gu Yu.
Gu Yu’s heart was as hard as stone, and it was impossible to melt it. They could only smash it with brute force.
However, this was limited to those with ability. Other ordinary people should just go to sleep!
However, to be serious, there was no one in Linfeng Kingdom who could deal with Gu Yu now… After the increase in gunpowder production, other countries were no longer a threat.
When Gu Yu increased the production of gunpowder and stored a certain amount of gunpowder, he wanted to directly blow up the Witch Priest people.
Let life return to peace…
However, when he was the only one busy, the production speed could not be fast.
If he handed it over to others, Gu Yu worried that important information would be leaked… As for letting Mengyao help, Gu Yu felt sorry for his little wife and could not possibly let Mengyao work hard.
His younger brother-in-law could be used as an ox to boss around, but Gu Qingheng would soon have to face the imperial examination.
If he really ordered Gu Qingheng around, Gu Yu felt that he would be nagged by his wife again.
Therefore, in the end, he had to complete the massive amount of work by himself.
Fortunately, there was no time limit, so Gu Yu could take his time and not worry.
“Son-in-law, that servant who was slapped has already been executed.”
“Oh? You got the news so quickly?”
“That servant was too arrogant. I happened to have a brother working over there, so I could get the first-hand news!”
As Gu Yu was sitting boredly in his chair, a servant from the Gu Residence suddenly approached and whispered to Gu Yu.
Upon hearing that the servant who had acted arrogantly because of his master’s power was dead, Gu Yu showed no surprise or shock, as if it were as normal as eating or drinking, and he did not take human lives into account at all.
The death of one person meant nothing to Gu Yu.
Especially when it was someone who had opposed him who died.
Gu Yu had not killed anyone in the Gu Residence before because he was worried about affecting the reputation of his father-in-law and wife, so he had only slapped him in public.
It was not that Gu Yu was kind, but that Gu Yu knew that this servant would not escape death.
As a result, he was now dead.
“He’s dead, so what? It’s not a big deal.”
“I also heard some news that the Lu Residence has sent their butler to apologize.”
Then, after hearing what the servant said, Gu Yu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.
Turning his head and seeing that the crowd gathered at the entrance was getting larger and larger, Gu Yu immediately felt that this situation could not continue, otherwise, he would definitely be annoyed to death by the crowd…
“Well done, you’ll be rewarded.”
After Gu Yu casually took out an ingot of silver and gave it to the servant, he quickly informed his father-in-law, and then took Gu Qingheng back to the room to continue adjusting the gunpowder dosage.
This time, Gu Qingheng would also be involved in the production, to save him from the boredom of studying.
See, he, this brother-in-law, loved his younger brother-in-law so much.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zha Zha’s claws were not very flexible, Gu Yu would have wanted to requisition pets to work with him.
There was no other way, the workload was too much, and he could pull in one labor force.
…
“I’ve already said that the Gu Residence is renovating the mansion during this period, so submitting a visiting card is useless. You will not be allowed to enter the Gu Residence.”
Liu Liang, as the butler of the Gu Residence, had undergone a sublimation of spirit and body in the past few years.
Although his body had grown too fast, which made him a little heavy and unable to fly, he had become more and more proficient in handling various affairs in the mansion, becoming a very steady butler.
Of course, this was also inseparable from the good feng shui of the Gu family. With continuous good fortune, the Gu Residence also became famous overnight.
Especially, the masters and young ladies of the Gu family were not harsh on their servants.
As long as they did not commit any major mistakes, they did not need to worry about their lives.
This also made Liu Liang’s work very worry-free. He spent all day with his hands behind his back, patrolling the mansion to see if anything was happening.
However, these were his past duties. Since the young lady and son-in-law returned, the master had immediately instructed him to guard the main entrance and not to let anyone intrude into the mansion without permission.
If he failed in his duty, then he would no longer be the butler.
Upon hearing what Master Gu Qing said, Liu Liang was naturally terrified, thinking that leaving the Gu Residence was absolutely not an option!
If he really left, where would he find such a good job with such good masters…
Therefore, at this moment, looking at the butlers and servants sent by many ministers, Liu Liang blocked them all at the entrance.
With Gu Qing sitting aside with his eyes closed and resting, Liu Liang’s courage increased, and he became more and more adept at scolding these people.
Thinking about how his son-in-law had sent someone to slap the glib servant before, Liu Liang, as the chief butler of the Gu Residence, also stood up straight.
As the Gu family, who was favored by the Empress, Liu Liang felt that he did not need to be afraid of these people, no matter how powerful they were.
Moreover, no matter how powerful these people were, weren’t they still like dogs, deliberately trying to please the Gu family?
Thinking of this, Liu Liang puffed out his chest again, his eyes full of pride.
“This butler, please be accommodating. We are also helpless! If the Gu Residence does not accept our visiting cards, we will surely be ruined.”
“Yes! When my master sent me, he had already made a ruthless threat: if I fail to complete the mission, I will die outside!”
“Alas, Master Gu, please be kind!”
After Butler Liu Liang spoke, many of the people sent also could not help but speak out, begging one by one. Many of them flocked to Gu Qing, wanting this vice general of the imperial court to show mercy and save them!
The friction between the Gu family and other ministers was a confrontation between superiors, but why should they, the subordinates, suffer!
They were not even considered chess pieces, at most they were cannon fodder.
They really did not want to accept such a fate!
But what could they do now!
“You go back now and tell those guys that if they want the Gu Residence to calm down, sending some servants is useless… If you want my son-in-law to cure your illness, you must at least show sincerity and have your masters come in person.”
While listening to everyone’s pleas, Gu Qing’s eyebrows furrowed. After he finished speaking, he immediately got up and walked into the mansion, not lingering in place.
And Liu Liang, the butler, after being lectured by Gu Qing, now followed Gu Qing around all day, trying to make his presence felt.
As for the main entrance, as long as the guards defended it carefully, there would be no major problem.
“Butler, stop following me. Just stay at the main entrance! If any imperial court ministers appear, just say that I have a slight cold and cannot see people.”
“Ah? This…”
“Hmph, you can enter the Gu Residence’s main gate whenever you want, dream on!”
As he spoke, Gu Qing smiled slightly, thinking how satisfying it was to mock those ministers!
