Chapter 250 We Must Convince People with Reason
It was obvious that Mrs. Li had no good intentions. Alas, he regretted making this trip even more. The secrets in the inner house were the most deceiving.
He just wanted to catch a thief and please the Second Master Gu and the future Concubine Gu, but he didn't want to get involved in the Gu family's mess.
Gu Wei raised her head and said proudly:
"My lord, I will be entering the palace soon. Some of these things are my dowry. If I can't find them, it will delay my service to His Majesty. Can you bear it?"
Before he even entered the palace, he began to use his power to oppress others.
Besides, which lady or girl would rush to a foreign man so recklessly?
The second branch of the Gu family has been exiled for half a year and has forgotten all the previous rules. Their manners are now no different from those of a poor family. I don't know what caught His Majesty's eye.
Jingzhao Yin was in a dilemma and looked at Gu Yunze.
Gu Yunze originally thought that it was unlikely that the first wife would steal, but it would be nice to humiliate her. It would be best if his self-righteous sister-in-law knew how powerful the second wife was, so that she would obediently let the second wife do whatever she wanted in the future.
So he said:
"Your Excellency is handling the case impartially and searching the East Courtyard is also to clear my eldest brother's family's name."
What kind of people are these? Jingzhao Yin complained in his heart.
The fights in other people's backyards are all fought to the death behind closed doors, but when the door is opened to the outside world, they all appear to be in harmony and prosperity.
The second branch of the Gu family is not only a bunch of dead pigs, but also bad seeds. They actually dared to bully the eldest sister-in-law's family of orphans and widows so blatantly.
The Jingzhao Yin was also worried that others would scold him for bullying General Gu's widow, which would affect his official reputation. He was thinking about how to refuse without offending Gu Yunze when he suddenly saw a yamen runner rushing over.
"Sir, General An's mansion has come to report that there was a theft in the house, and all the valuables disappeared overnight."
This is really a timely relief.
Jingzhao Yin said:
"This method of committing the crime is very similar to that of the Gu Mansion. Lord Gu, it seems that the thief last night was quite powerful. He not only robbed the Gu Mansion, but also the An Mansion. This can't be what Madam Ling said about the difficulty of guarding against thieves in the house, right?"
Without waiting for Gu Yunze and the others to speak, Jingzhao Yin immediately said:
"I will go to the An Mansion to check first. If it is the same group of thieves, we will handle the case together. I will find the thieves as soon as possible and recover the lost items from both mansions."
After saying this, without waiting for Gu Yunze's response, he immediately followed the bailiff and trotted out.
"Hey, hey, sir, what should we do here?" Gu Yunze shouted anxiously.
The Jingzhao Yin pretended not to hear anything and disappeared in a flash.
Gu Wei stamped her feet in anger, her facial features distorted due to anger:
"I don't care! I want to live a good life! If I don't even have a few hundred thousand silver coins, how can I have the face to enter the palace!"
Li only felt that her waist hurt more.
"Master, please think of a solution!"
Last night I was thinking that from today on I would be able to wear fine clothes and eat delicious food, and have a horde of servants, but I didn't expect that my joy was in vain, and I am now penniless again.
Gu Yunze's face was as dark as ink, and he said:
"I don't know when Jingzhao Yin will be able to catch the thief. Now that Wei'er is entering the palace, it's urgent. We can't let her enter the palace empty-handed. For now, we can only ask the eldest wife for money first!"
After leaving Gu's house, Jing Zhaoyin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said "Pah" and muttered:
"Thinking of how dignified General Gu and General Gu were, how could Second General Gu be like this? It seems that the Gu family will never be able to make it big. I'd better stay away from the Gu family in the future."
Jingzhao Yin came to An Mengde's mansion and after investigation, he found that this case was exactly the same as that of Gu Mansion.
Everything was stolen, and there is no clue left.
It's another family of dead pigs, they were emptied out and are still sleeping.
Jingzhao Yin had no choice but to return to the government office and order people to post notices, wanted the thief throughout the city, and search house by house.
At the same time, personnel were dispatched to strictly check passing vehicles at each city gate.
I don't believe that a thief could fly away with dozens of truckloads of stuff.
The East Courtyard of Gu Mansion.
Gu Yunze, Li and others rushed over in a threatening manner.
Chu Zhao moved a chair and sat at the door, crossing his legs and holding a plate of orchid beans in his hand.
Li and others had witnessed Chu Zhao's cruelty in the morning. With just a touch of his hands, he broke Gu Chao's two arms.
At this moment, everyone hid behind Gu Yunze and glared at Chu Zhao.
Gu Yunze said with a dark face:
"How dare you, a little coachman, be so unruly!"
As he said this, he strode forward, ready to kick Chu Zhao over.
Before he got close, Chu Zhao ate an orchid bean, used his internal force in the hand holding the bean shell, and threw it towards Gu Yunze's feet.
It was just a bean shell, Gu Yunze didn't care, and kicked forward with indomitable courage.
Collide with bean shell in the air.
"Ah!" Gu Yunze screamed in pain, holding his foot and sitting down on the ground.
It takes a very high level of skill to be able to throw a bean shell like a stone hitting your foot.
Where did Dafang get this expert from?
"Without the consent of the eldest lady and the eldest lady, you can never set foot in the East Courtyard." Chu Zhao said to everyone.
Then he threw an orchid bean into his mouth and chewed it with a crunch. He rolled the bean shell between his index finger and thumb, scaring Li and others so much that they quickly took a few steps back.
But they are penniless now, and they will not go back unless they can get money from the eldest wife.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Come out and discipline this lawless driver. He even dares to beat your uncle!" Gu Yunze's teeth were chattering in pain. He knew he couldn't get through the door, so he sat on the ground and shouted.
Li also shouted inside:
"Sister-in-law, if you don't come out, we will go outside the house and shout, and let the neighbors judge. As the eldest sister-in-law, you condoned the servants to beat up the uncle and nephew. Can you bear such a bad reputation?"
After shouting, she immediately hid behind Aunt Ju and glanced at Chu Zhao, fearing that Chu Zhao would hit her with the bean shell.
Qi, who was inside, felt a little uneasy when she heard the shouting outside, and Gu Yunqing, who was standing next to her, also frowned.
Gu Xi comforted:
"Mom, don't worry, she can't get in."
Qi said:
"I'm worried that Li will really go out and make a fuss about it, affecting your and Ping'er's reputation."
"Although I don't care about my reputation, since mother is so worried, I will go out and take care of it." Gu Xi stood up and prepared to go out.
Qi quickly pulled her back and pointed outside.
"Xi'er, don't be impulsive. Gu Wei has been appointed as a concubine by His Majesty. You have to look at the owner when beating a dog. Don't anger the palace because of this."
There are imperial servants guarding the place, and they will definitely report to the emperor what happens in the palace.
Gu Xi patted Qi's hand with a smile and said:
"Mom, don't worry. I'm so well-behaved. How can I be the kind of violent girl who beats people up at every turn? I promise I won't do it. We have to convince people with reason."
Gu Xi went out, and Gu Yunqing said:
"Don't worry, ma'am. I'll accompany the young lady out."
Nanny Yun looked at Gu Yunqing's back and fell into deep thought.
She always felt that when the housekeeper called her Madam, there was a lot of affection in it, not like that of a master and servant.
