Chapter 55: Master, the family is in dire straits
Chapter 55: Master, the family is in dire straits
Gu Hua felt something attacking him and turned around before he could make any move. Dagui, who had followed his father to suppress others, saw someone rushing towards his master. He subconsciously reached out and pushed the woman with a ferocious look to the ground.
Qi Yan, who had been following Gu Hua like an invisible man, silently retracted his legs that were about to be raised.
"You little dog slave, how dare you push me."
Everyone then realized that the person who pounced on Gu Hua was Zheng, the eldest daughter-in-law of the fifth room, and the mother of Gu Yuming, who was arrested and sentenced to hard labor.
"You attack first." Gu Hua walked in front of Dagui, protected him, and said, "Just push him. What's wrong with him protecting his master?"
These words stopped the third uncle and the fifth uncle who were about to step forward to help Zheng in the attack.
Slaves cannot attack anyone casually, but there is no such restriction when it comes to protecting their masters.
Just now, Fifth Uncle was intimidated by the prefect in the lobby of the yamen and did not dare to do anything to Gu Hua, who sued and sentenced his grandson, but now he has come out.
He was holding a cane and was about to raise it to hit someone angrily, "I'm going to beat you to death, you traitor, you ungrateful dog."
Gu Hua dodged easily and reached out to grab the crutch that was swinging towards him.
There was a hint of disappointment in Third Uncle and Zheng's eyes. They clearly saw that Fifth Uncle's crutch was about to hit Gu Hua hard, but she dodged it.
Gu Hua snatched the walking stick and threw it to the ground. If his fifth uncle was not already half buried in the ground, he would never let him off easily for his behavior of taking advantage of his age and seeking his own death.
"How about I go in and file another complaint, saying that tens of thousands of taels of silver notes were lost from my house." Gu Hua raised his lips and said slowly, "Then your grandson and son's crimes will be enough to be sentenced to exile. Do you think this is a good idea?"
Nine out of ten people sentenced to exile will never come back. Gu Hua's words were very cruel.
It also succeeded in making Zheng, who originally wanted to fight her to death, stunned on the spot. She was afraid that Gu Hua would really turn around and sue her family for losing valuables, and the adults would change her son's sentence to exile, and then she would really have no son.
After all, they have been sentenced to hard labor. As long as their family is willing to spend money, there is a good chance they can be rescued.
Zheng was right to have this idea, but what she didn't expect was that there was a connection between the current prefect and Gu Hua because of her uncle.
...Zheng’s idea will never come true.
At this time, Fifth Uncle and Zheng, who were thinking this way, had a quarrel with Gu Hua. Seeing that they couldn't do anything to her, they could only watch her leave leisurely with her people.
The third uncle, who was supported by his followers and already sitting in the carriage, looked at the tall and slender figure with a vicious look in his eyes as if he were poisoned.
"You little brat, let me let you be proud for a while."
Gu Hua seemed to sense something. He turned around, met his third uncle's gloomy old eyes, and smiled faintly.
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft: "I just like to see you guys hate me but can't get rid of me."
"Hahaha……"
After Gu Hua finished speaking, he burst into arrogant laughter, which made his third uncle, fifth uncle, and some other people in the Gu family look livid.
"Didn't they say that the Gu family was about to decline?" Third Uncle's eldest son, Gu Jitang, had a dark face and gritted his teeth, saying in hatred, "How can she still be so arrogant?"
A vicious look flashed in Third Uncle's eyes: "Father has sent people to inquire about it. She didn't bring anything back this time. I heard that the goods she transported to Saibei were also robbed by local bullies.
Now the Gu family's shop is also in jeopardy due to lack of funds to operate, and she won't be able to be arrogant for long."
……
Here. Gu Hua had just returned to the gate of the mansion from the government office with his men when he saw Erhu, who was bribed by the third and fifth rooms to betray his master, as well as his parents who were in charge of the flowers, plants and trees in the mansion, and his sister who was a second-class maid.
"Please, Master, spare my son, just for a moment!"
"Please, head of the family, forgive my brother." Erhu's sister pleaded in a delicate and artificial manner to Gu Hua, who was standing there with his hands behind his back, dressed in men's clothes and standing straight, as they stopped him.
Gu Hua shook off the goose bumps on her body. She had nothing to say about these people who betrayed their master. She glanced at Butler Fu and said, "Let's follow the rules."
So the other servants who were watching secretly saw Butler Fu and his son Dagui and others covering Erhu's family who were trying to beg for mercy, and dragging them directly into a carriage.
Then they never saw this family in the mansion again.
Now, all the servants who had heard that Gu Hua died in the northern border and had some concerns were now worried and trembling with fear. They did things very carefully, for fear that they would be the next member of Erhu's family to disappear.
When they saw that the servants remained loyal during the time when Gu Hua was away from home, and that after the master came back, they could hold their heads high and walk with confidence in front of them every day, they realized the importance of being loyal to their master.
However, it was too late for them to regret. Although they did not betray their master, they chose to stand idly by when their master encountered trouble.
Soon, Gu Hua ordered Butler Fu to send all such servants to work on the farm.
But at this moment, Gu Hua walked into the gate of Gu Mansion and raised his eyebrows when he saw the empty mansion in front of him, "It's a clean move."
"Fortunately, I sold all the valuables last time and gave them to Gu Chen and others to go to the south to purchase goods. Otherwise, I would have suffered a huge loss."
Gu Hua walked around the house, his mouth twitching, "You said that the porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, screens, vases... and other items displayed in the house were taken away, which is understandable."
The tables, chairs, and the Ru Hai auspicious jar placed in the yard were taken away, which was acceptable. But how could they not even leave the cooking pot in the kitchen? This was a bit too much.
If the pillars in the mansion had not been installed firmly enough during construction, they might have been able to remove them and move away.
"It's really crazy. Fortunately, I'm a good person and I don't bother with them."
Su Fuying, who was following her, grinned, but in order to avoid losing his job, he held back what he was saying. He kept mumbling in his heart that the person in front of him was his boss, and he couldn't complain.
If I hadn't seen with my own eyes the homes of the third and fifth elders of the Gu family being robbed in an even more horrific manner by this beggar, I would have really believed that she was a good-for-nothing who was bullied by anyone.
Speaking of being cruel and insane, who is more cruel than the one in front of me?
It was nothing that the pot in the kitchen was taken away. She even picked out the copper coins that symbolized wealth and were embedded in the beams of the two houses and gave them to the beggars to buy steamed buns.
Gu Hua: “…” She meant that it was impolite not to reciprocate, and that was what she should do.
The three of them walked to a pavilion. Gu Hua saw that the stone table and stone bench inside had not been moved away, so he turned around and called Qi Yan and Su Fuying, who had been following him silently, to go in and rest.
At this time, the chief steward Fu Bo came to Gu Hua with an embarrassed face, bowed, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Seeing the butler procrastinating like a little wife, Gu Hua was worried for him, "Just tell me if you have something to say."
The butler quietly raised his eyes and found that he was disliked by his master. The expression on his old face was so aggrieved: "Master, we can't make ends meet at home."
Now it was Gu Hua's turn to be embarrassed...
