"A small local official in the Gu family is worthy of letting me marry his daughter. Gu Yanqi, you can't be so naive."
Gu Yanqi's forehead was covered with sweat. He knew that it was not an accident that the old King Qi was able to help the Gu family.
"It turns out...it turns out...you knew it a long time ago?"
"A century-old family has been in a state of affairs. Although the Gu family can hide it from the world, they can't hide it from me. Old fox, take care of yourself."
Gu Yanqi's eyes widened angrily, "So, those rumors outside, and the loss of office of the boss and the second brother are all due to you, the prince."
The old King Qi hesitated slightly.
Now that the matter has come to this, it doesn't make any difference whether he did it or not. Just follow the trend and act like a man. He has given him six years, but this old fox is still indifferent.
Now that King Rui is about to emerge from the ground, he can't wait any longer.
"It is my handwriting, but it is not my handwriting. You must know exactly whose handwriting it is."
Gu Yanqi fell to the ground slumped, despair flashing in his eyes. Behind the old King Qi is King Rui. Could it be that all this is King Rui's idea
No wonder... No wonder...
The old King Qi took two steps forward, and said coldly: "Take out the things, my daughter will still be your Gu family's daughter-in-law, I will ensure that your Gu family will have no worries for the rest of their lives. Otherwise..."
Gu Yanqi broke into cold sweat.
"Gu Yanqi, his jade is not guilty, Huaibi is guilty, and the Gu family is white. If you want to keep them, huh, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
As if a sap hit him hard on the head, Gu Yanqi covered up the hatred in his eyes and fell to the ground again.
"Please allow Yanqi to think about this for a few days."
"Miss, Mr. Gu entered the palace and stayed there for about an hour before he came out."
Chen Ping said: "Because the palace is heavily guarded and there are masters ambushing it all around, we can't follow in, and we don't know what Mr. Gu and the old prince said? But..."
"But what?" Shi Minwei asked.
"However, when Mr. Gu came out, he looked completely different from when he went in. There was no trace of blood on his face. When the carriage arrived at the door of Gu's house, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood."
"Oh?" Shi Minwei was very interested and could not help but raise his eyebrows in thought.
Qingguan looked at him and smiled faintly, "Master, as you expected, there was a problem when Zhao Huayang married into the Gu family."
"I just don't know, what's the problem?"
Qingguan's face changed slightly, and she was silent for a moment before saying, "Master, I have a plan, but I don't know if Liu Jinhong is willing to do it."
Shi Minwei's eyebrows stretched, "Miss, let's talk about it."
Gu Yanqi woke up faintly and felt as if his chest was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold. He raised his eyes and saw everyone in the Gu family was in front of him.
Wei sat beside the bed, lowered his head and wiped away tears.
"Boss, the second one stays here and everyone else gets out."
Wei was about to stop him, but was caught by the cold light in the man's eyes. She didn't dare to say anything and left quietly with her two grandsons.
"Wait a minute, send people to watch around the house and don't allow anyone to approach."
Wei's feet stopped and nodded silently.
The inexplicable tension made the two masters of the Gu family panic, and their breathing suddenly became heavy.
My father went to the palace, thinking that things would be relieved, but he was actually carried back. It seemed that things were worse than ever.
There was silence in the room for a moment. Gu Yanqi struggled to get up, and his two sons rushed forward to support him.
Gu Yanqi's turbid gaze swept over the two people's faces, and he shouted: "Kneel down, both of them."
With two pops, the two sons of the Gu family knelt in front of the bed.
Gu Yanqi spoke slowly. "In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, my ancestors of the Gu family started their business by selling silk. Jiangnan silk is world-famous. In just two generations, the Gu family has accumulated astonishing wealth. Once there is too much money, it is natural to be greedy for luxury and spendthrift. Who knows that good times will not last long, and the Gu family's Wealth has attracted the covetousness of those dog officials in the court.
For the crime, all the property was taken away. "
Uncle Gu, Second Master Gu’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
"After this incident, the Gu family has an ancestral motto, instructing the disciples of the Gu family to develop their careers, use official positions to support their wealth, use their official positions to protect their wealth, and do not show their wealth to others."
"Father, why don't you show your wealth to others?" Master Gu asked in a low voice.
Gu Yanqi's eyes turned cold, "I just keep my money secretly, just in case. Let me ask you, who is the richest man in the world in this world."
Uncle Gu thought: "The world doesn't know, but there is no doubt that the richest man in Jiangnan must be a historian."
"Historian?"
Gu Yanqi sneered again and again, "Compared to the Gu family, the Shi family can't even compare to a toe."
The two sons of the Gu family were both shocked and their hearts were beating fast. Who in the world doesn't know that the Shi family is rich and famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Is it possible that the Gu family is richer than the Shi family
Impossible. The Gu family has been struggling with famine in recent years and has been unable to make ends meet. They used to rely on the Qian family's dowry, but now they rely on the princess's dowry. Where can the money come from
Seeing suspicion in his son's eyes, Gu Yanqi sighed, dipped his hand in some tea, and wrote a string of numbers on the edge of the bed.
The second son of the Gu family was shocked beyond measure. Saying this... Saying this...
Gu Yanqi didn't look at the expressions of the two people, and said to himself: "That year during the Lantern Festival, I came to Beijing as an official, and I immediately fell in love with this mansion. At that time, the owner of the house offered a price of two hundred thousand taels. I didn't even blink. I paid the deposit on the spot and said a few crazy words. I never thought... "
"How is it?" When he heard the wonderful part, even Uncle Gu couldn't help but cry out.
"I never thought that the old King of Qi had taken a fancy to this house. Since we couldn't negotiate the price, we put it on hold for a few days."
Regret appeared on Gu Yanqi's face, "It was because of this exposure of wealth that Old Qi King set his sights on our Gu Mansion."
Second Master Gu seemed to understand something, "So after the incident with the crown prince, the old King Qi took the initiative to marry Zhao Huayang to me for the money of our Gu family."
Seeing that his son was right, Gu Yanqi couldn't help but nodded, "I have always been suspicious in my heart, but the other party never made any move. In order to cover up, I came up with the idea of Zhao Huayang's dowry, and also used Qian's dowry to cover up."
No wonder... No wonder... Mr. Gu and his brother looked at each other with understanding in their eyes.
Uncle Gu suddenly spoke, "Father, in this case, the recent events were all done by the old King Qi in order to get our Gu family to hand over the money."
Gu Yanqi had a look of hatred on his face, "In the past few years, we have been collecting money for him in the south. The money went in from left to right and from right to left. We never kept any money privately. Who knew that he was greedy enough and drove the Gu family to a dead end."
The two masters of the Gu family suddenly realized.
What about catching an adulterer in bed, what rumors are spreading, what kind of moral conduct has been damaged by an official... If you can't do it secretly, you can rob it openly. All of these are all done by the old King Qi behind his back.
"This old guy will not die well." Mr. Gu cursed.
Uncle Gu looked serious, "Father, what should we do now?"
Gu Yanqi gritted his teeth and shed a few tears in his eyes, "I heard what the old King Qi said, this matter is what King Rui meant. Son, the sky is so big and the earth is so big, there is no place for our Gu family. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep this wealth." ah."
"Father, this money was left by our ancestors, how can we give them an advantage." When Mr. Gu thought of the white money flowing into the old Prince Qi's house, his heart started to bleed.
"Father, keep the green hills here. Don't worry about running out of firewood. We can't take out this money."
"Brother is right. If we really take it out, what if he turns his back and denies it, and accuses the Gu family of unfounded charges?"
Gu Yanqi let out a long sigh, fearing that if the old guy couldn't get the money, he would die.
"It's hard to advance and it's hard to retreat. It's a dilemma!"
Uncle Gu's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Father, you are not a gentleman if you are petty, and you are not a husband if you are not poisonous. That old guy wants to swallow it, we can't just sit back and wait for death."
Gu Yanqi's eyes shone. After all, he is his son and understands his thoughts, "In your opinion, what should I do?"
Uncle Gu's lips twitched and he fell into deep thought.
The three of them discussed for a long time, but in the end they could not come up with a good solution.
The opponent's high status, cruel methods, and deep scheming are intimidating. In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers.
When fighting against members of the royal family, if you are not completely sure, you will inevitably be defeated.
Mr. Gu walked out of the yard in a daze, his heart beating hard.
I never thought that my marriage would end up being just a tool for others.
If he had known that the Gu family had millions of dollars and was the richest man in the world, would he still need to look at that tigress's face? But how can we keep this money
On the bluestone road, Aunt Liu held an oil-paper umbrella and walked gracefully. The woman's shoulders curved softly, looking at her as if she were seeing the moon in the south of the Yangtze River. Her slim waist was like a willow blowing in the wind.
Second Master Gu's heart skipped a beat, and it was difficult to look away.
Liu Mianhong's almond-shaped eyes were slightly slanted as she stepped forward and saluted, "Second Master, okay."
The voice was delicate and soft, soft and charming, like an oriole coming out of the valley. Gu Erye froze half of his body, swallowed and said, "What are you?"
"I'm afraid the uncle doesn't have an umbrella, so I'll bring him one."
Mr. Gu's eyes darkened, and he looked at the behavior of this woman. Thanks to this friendship, he had three aunts, but none of them knew how cold and hot she was.
"Brother takes the first step."
"Are you late?" Liu Mianhong sighed softly, with disappointment flashing in her eyes, "I say goodbye."
"That day?"
How reluctant was Gu Erye to let her go, he stepped forward to stop her, "I'm here, but I didn't find her."
Liu Jinhong's face was lightly covered with makeup and she smiled brightly, "Fortunately I didn't find it, otherwise it would have been my concubine's fault."
After saying that, Liu twisted his waist and passed by Mr. Gu.
It may have been light rain for many days, which made the bluestone road slippery. Liu Mianhong staggered, her body was unstable, and she was about to fall to the ground, but a strong and powerful arm caught her in time.
Liu Jinhong was so frightened that her eyes filled with tears. She looked at the man with soft eyes, and the traces of affection wrapped around the man's heart little by little.
Mr. Gu's heart was pounding.
How could such a wonderful person be allowed to live alone? I wanted to eat it last time, and I can’t let it go this time.
"Second Master... No!" Liu Jinhong pushed gently with her bare hands.
How willing was the second master Gu to comply? He picked up the woman and said softly: "You must have been injured on your foot. I will carry you back to your room." "Second master... so, thank you so much." Liu Jinhong said softly with red lips. Kai, his bare hands hooked on the man's neck.
