Chapter 157 Arrogance
Before the village head went up to ask the leading guards, the head catcher stepped forward and asked, "Where is Mr. Gu's house? Our county magistrate and the public's Liu Zhangyin are here to proclaim the decree by order of the Holy Majesty."

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, and the whole Gujia Village was blown up.

It turned out that the people who came here were the magistrate of the county, as well as high-ranking officials in Beijing.

What kind of imperial decree is proclaimed, and that imperial edict can only be issued by the holy emperor. In this way, the great treasure of their village is known to the current holy emperor.

For a moment, everyone knelt down on the ground with a plop, shouting long live.

Seeing the imperial decree is like seeing the sage, but not kneeling.

Unexpectedly, there would be a day in their life where they could see the imperial decree.

After the worship, Village Chief Gu said tremblingly: "Gu Chao's house is in the village, and the grass-roots will lead the way for adults."

When the village chief was talking, she lay prone on the ground without even daring to lift her head, and she stuttered when she spoke. It was obvious that she was excited at this time.

How can you not be excited?The biggest official she has ever met in her life is the county magistrate, and now there is still a day when she can meet the high officials in Beijing, it is impossible not to be excited.

As for why he kept his head down and didn't dare to raise his head to speak, it was completely frightened.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the county magistrate poked his head out from inside.

"Are you the head of Gu's Village?"

The village chief didn't expect that the county magistrate would still remember him, so he nodded excitedly and said yes.

The county magistrate didn't remember that Village Chief Gu just thought this person looked familiar, and seeing that she was speaking on behalf of the villagers, then this person must be the village chief.

Every year, the head of every village in the county goes to the county government office to meet with the county magistrate to report on the situation of the year.

She was fortunate to have met this Lord Huang, but there were too many of them, and they only met once a year, so the county magistrate might not remember every one of them.

Moreover, the county magistrate is changed every three years, and people who meet once a year, how can they remember so much.

"Then ask Village Chief Gu to lead the way!"

The village chief was so excited that he almost fell when he got up. Fortunately, with the support of her eldest daughter, he managed to stand still.

"My lords, please follow your name."

The village chief was leading the way, and he also murmured in his heart, looking at the posture of these people, they probably didn't come to trouble Gu Chao.

There were also Ouchi guards and that Liu Zhangyin. Although she didn't know what kind of official she was, she must be serving the official on her body.

This is probably related to Gu Chao's trip to the capital to eliminate evil spirits. Maybe the Holy One saw that she eradicated evil things, and this was to reward her.

The village head was also too excited to see the other carriage behind the guards. The carriage contained all the rewards given to Gu Chao by the emperor.

The village head took the lead in knocking on the door of the Gu family. Because the disaster was over, the Gu family no longer restricted contact with people in the village.

Hearing someone knock on the door, Aunt Li, who was guarding the door, asked and opened the door.

"Who is it?"

The eldest daughter of the village head replied, "Aunt Li, I am Gu Lin, open the door quickly, an adult from Beijing is looking for Gu Chao."

Aunt Li was opening the door. Hearing that it was the eldest daughter of the village chief, and hearing that she had an adult from Jingzhong coming, she opened the door a little faster.

When I opened the door, I saw a circle of people outside the door, tall horses, guards with knives, and many arresters.

Aunt Li hurriedly turned her head and shouted to the servants who were working in the front yard, "Go in and report to grandma, saying that there is a distinguished guest."

Regardless of what these people do, depending on their identities, they must first report to grandma.

When they arrived at the gate of Gu's house, the eunuch and Magistrate Huang got out of the carriage together and looked up at the plaque at the gate of Gu's house.

Looking around at the gate of Gu's mansion, County Magistrate Huang sighed in his heart, this Daoist Gu really knows how to enjoy it, and he can build such a big house in the countryside, which shows his ability.

Looking inside through the gate, I saw the layout plan inside, but it was better than looking at her county grandpa's house.

The old eunuch served the emperor in the palace.Naturally, her vision is wider than that of the county magistrate. In her opinion, there is nothing particularly outstanding about Gu Chao's house.

Compared with those big officials in Beijing, it is still far behind, it just takes up a lot of land.

The two gave way to each other, raised their legs and walked into Gu's mansion.

Aunt Li couldn't stop them because Village Chief Gu was with them, and they were court officials.It's impossible to stop yourself.

Gu Chao was practicing under the peach tree, and when he heard about it, he reported it, saying that a nobleman had come, and he was still accompanied by guards.

Thinking to himself, I am afraid he is someone from Beijing, raised his brow slightly, and stood up.

Patting the slightly wrinkled robe on his body, he raised his legs and walked outside.

She wanted to see what the emperor gave her again?
When she was in Beijing, she had already made it very clear with the emperor, and the emperor's reward was also paid, which can be said to be both money and goods.

As a result, she has sent another person here now, and Gu Chao can probably guess the meaning of this.

As soon as Gu Chao arrived at the front flower hall, he heard the voice of the village chief, "Please sit inside, two adults."

Manager Xu came out before Gu Chao, and was entertaining the county magistrate and the eunuch with the village head at this time.

"My lords, please take your seat first, and this servant will invite my grandma to come out."

As he spoke, he arranged for the servants to serve tea and snacks.

The old eunuch hadn't spoken since he entered the door, and the county magistrate Huang had always spoken.

Hearing Guanshi Xu's words, he nodded and said, "Go ahead, we'll just wait here."

As soon as Manager Xu turned his head, he saw his grandma coming in from the outside, and hurried to greet her.

"grandmother."

Gu Chao waved his hand to let Guanshi go down, and at the same time ordered: "Let the master and Zhengjun not come here."

Manager Xu responded, and then Gu Chao bowed his hands to the two of them and said politely: "The two distinguished guests have come from a long way, please forgive me for being so far away."

The two of them didn't dare to trust Gu Chao. This person dared to offend even the emperor, so what are they?

The two stood up, bowed to Gu Chao and bowed their hands in return, "Gu Daochang is polite."

Then the county magistrate Huang began to introduce again, "I am the magistrate of this county, and my surname is Huang."

After talking, the county magistrate turned to introduce the eunuch beside him.

"This is Liu Zhangyin from the capital. The two of us came this time to bring the Holy Majesty's imperial decree, and please ask Daoist Gu to accept the decree."

The Liu palm print that came back this time is the eunuch sent by the emperor to announce the decree last time, and he had dealt with Gu Chao.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Daoist Gu still looks the same."

Gu Chao responded with a smile, "Liu's palm print is also radiant, good luck."

When others say she is lucky, Liu Zhangyin doesn't care, it's just a polite word
But when these words came out of Gu Chao's mouth, the meaning was different.

"Thank you, Daoist Gu, for your kind words. This old slave will be blessed by you."

After the two exchanged polite greetings, Gu Chao invited the two to sit down again.

It is impossible for Gu Chao to receive the order on his knees, turned around and sat on the first seat, and then said again: "I don't know why the Holy One sent Liu Zhangyin and Huang County Magistrate here?"

County Magistrate Huang had never seen such an arrogant person like Gu Chao. They all said they were here to announce the decree, but this man not only showed no respect at all, he didn't immediately burn incense and take a bath, and then set up an incense table to receive the decree, and even sat down.

County magistrate Huang didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to look at Liu's palm print beside him.

It was not the first time that Liu Zhangyin had dealt with Gu Chao, and she had already thought of such a situation.

She had no intention of waiting for Gu Chao to kneel down to receive the order, she knew it was impossible.

It's just that Gu Chao can defy the imperial power, but she can't.

After Gu Chao sat down, she respectfully took the Minghuang imperial decree from the box in the guard's hand, held it in both hands, and brought it to Gu Chao.

Gu Chao casually took it over and unfolded it, and it turned out to be similar to what she thought.

First some words of praise, and finally various rewards.

She also understood why the emperor did this.

Since the emperor reached out to her on his own initiative, and there was no quarrel between her and the emperor, it was hard for her to say anything to refuse.

Since the emperor wants to make good friends with her, then make good friends.

As long as it doesn't involve her interests, she doesn't mind.

Gu Chao put away the imperial decree and asked Liu Zhangyin to do it again.

"Thank you for your kindness, Gu accepted it."

As soon as they saw Gu Chao flipping his hands, the shadow of the imperial decree disappeared. They were surprised and lamented Gu Chao's ability.

When Liu Zhangyin heard Gu Chao's words, his heart felt at ease.

She was afraid that Gu Chao would not accept it, or that there would be something waiting for her later.

Seeing her so direct and forthright, she felt down-to-earth.

This kind of people with real abilities naturally have their own way of speaking and doing things, and Gu Chao is the most forthright one among them.

Before she left the palace, the Holy Majesty ordered her not to say too much, just to see how Gu Chao reacted after seeing the imperial decree.

It would be best if she answered it readily, but if she didn't answer it, then it's Gu Chao's words and he can't say much.

In this way, her errand can be regarded as a good one, and she can go back to meet the Holy Majesty.

"Gu Daochang is being polite, the Holy Majesty gave an explanation when the slave went out, this time I came here to send rewards to Gu Daochang, nothing else.

Daoist Gu saved tens of thousands of people in the world this time, which is a great merit. The Holy One also said that these ordinary things are just icing on the cake for Daoist Gu.

Gu Daochang has a compassionate heart to save the world, and the people all over the world should remember Gu Daochang's merit. "

Gu Chao didn't take this flattering word to heart.

But the word "merit" is indeed correct, no matter how the people in the world are or how the emperor is, this is her merit, and the way of heaven should record it for her.

As long as she has this skill, everything else doesn't matter.

The two of them said some polite words to Gu Chao, and seeing that Gu Chao had no intention of keeping them, they wisely said they would leave.

Gu Chao personally sent the two of them to the door, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the landlord.

The two got into the carriage and left the Gu family village before talking about the differences of the Gu family.

Just now at the gate, Liu Zhangyin felt that there was nothing unusual in Gu's house, but the moment he stepped into the gate of Gu's house, he immediately overturned his previous thoughts.

There was nothing strange about this, it was completely too strange, but at that moment, he felt comfortable all over his body, and his bones were much lighter.

County magistrate Huang naturally felt the same way. She was even more surprised than Liu Zhangyin. After all, Liu Zhangyin had seen Gu Chao's methods before, so she had some confidence in her heart.

On the contrary, County Magistrate Huang, all about Gu Chao was based on rumors, and this is the first time he experienced it personally and was naturally surprised.

Originally, she wanted to get close to Gu Chaotaotuo and talk about the fact that the two families were relatives, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it, thinking that when Yu Miao'er and Ning An got married, she would come here in person, which would definitely have a better effect.

The village chief personally sent the team of horses and chariots out of Gu's village, and then returned to Gu's house.

From the beginning to the end, she was in a daze, especially after seeing Gu Chao's attitude towards the two adults, she was really terrified.

He was afraid that the guard with a knife at the door would suddenly rush in and take Gu Chao down.

She knew that Gu Chao was capable, but she didn't expect Gu Chao to have such an attitude towards the court officials.

That is an official appointed by the imperial court, and the other is a celebrity around the Holy One.

Until now, she still feels that her calves are twisted. If her eldest daughter hadn't supported her, she might have sat down on her buttocks.

When he came to Gu's house again, Gu Chao was still sitting in the flower hall waiting for them.

Gu Chao knew that she would definitely come back, so he sat here all the time, waiting for her to come.

Seeing the village chief come in, Gu Chao got up to help her.

"Auntie, sit down first."

While supporting Village Chief Gu, Gu Chao had luck in his hands to gently sort out the meridians for Village Chief Gu.

She also knew that Village Chief Gu was frightened, and she might not be able to recover for a while.

Village head Gu naturally felt the difference in Gu Chao's hand holding her, and he didn't speak, waiting to gradually calm down.

When she calmed down, Gu Chao also withdrew her hand, and then she raised her finger to point at Gu Chao.

"Tell me about what you just said, but it scared me a lot."

Gu Lin, the eldest daughter of Village Chief Gu.Sitting under his mother's hand, he patted his chest and said.

"Dabao, I didn't expect you to have such a big face now, even the county magistrate and the celebrities around the saint will treat you with courtesy."

The village head patted his daughter on the shoulder with a "snap".

After the filming, he gave her another glance, "She's not showing any face, she's simply too rampant!
Not afraid of the guards with knives at the door.As soon as you draw the knife, you will be executed on the spot. "

When Village Chief Gu said the last half of the sentence, he said it to Gu Chao.

But Gu Chao laughed loudly, "Auntie, you saw it just now. Do you think she dared to draw a knife at me?
No matter what emperor or minister he is, he has to squat in front of the powerful strength. "

This is true, but Village Chief Gu still feels lingering fear.

She has lived for most of her life, and the idea of ​​supremacy of imperial power has also shrouded her for most of her life, but it cannot be changed overnight.

In their hearts, the emperor is the sky and their ruler.

As the saying goes, the world is as big as the land of the king.On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers.

Even if Gu Chao has great abilities, can he still win over the emperor?
She still has to be a subject of the emperor!
As a result, today, Gu Chao ruthlessly overturned this idea in her heart.
