Chapter 2337 Gu Yundong: You have no brains
"Emperor, some people say that we are hiding weapons, how is this possible? My husband and I are the most honest, and the emperor knows that. Business. The tax to be paid is not less than a cent and all of it is turned over, and some of the money earned is used to do good deeds, which is much better than those businessmen who have no conscience.”
Gu Yundong said, more and more aggrieved, "Just like this, there are still people who want to accuse us of doing atrocious things. I just want to ask, is it so difficult for people to live now? It's impossible to do business as usual? It's difficult. Don’t you want me to go back to farming? I’m really suffering, I admit that I came from a rural area, and I can’t fight against you. The routines in your city are too deep, complicated, and insidious. I’ll go, I can go.”
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at Yi Zilan.
The last time he saw Gu Yundong, he also thought that this person was a gentle and polite woman with a rare personality and a good talker.
Now, the emperor felt that he might have wronged Yi Zilan, and Gu Yundong in front of him... made him have a hunch that he might have a headache next.
Before waiting for the emperor to think about it, Gu Yundong suddenly turned to look at King Lu, "I just wanted to ask Prince Lu, where did I offend you? You want to wrong me so much. Except this time, you also planned to frame my husband last time. The ancestral home of the Marquis of Huaiyin, do you want to exterminate us? King Lu, do you think that I am not qualified by the emperor's title as the county lord? Then you just say it, I don't want the title of the county lord, I In the future, can I try to keep a low profile and not show off? Or if I find something good in the future, can I give it to you and let you dedicate it to the emperor? I’m already very humble, so you can just let us go?”
The ??Emperor had listened to it with gusto before, but his expression changed when he arrived here.
Yes, the last time King Lu planned to plan the Marquis of Huaiyin Mansion, and it ended on the grounds of personal resentment. But now that there is a conflict with Gu Yunshu and Shao Qingyuan, it's... very strange.
The emperor thought a lot in an instant. Even if Xinming Pavilion really hid weapons, why did King Lu come to report it? Did he really just report it? Or he just wanted to deal with Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan.
Why?
The emperor thought more and more, thinking about what Gu Yundong and the others brought out, thinking about the background of the Bai family, thinking about Qin Wenzheng and others who were friends with them.
King Lu knew something was wrong when he saw the emperor's expression.
Originally thought that Gu Yundong's crying and shouting was unreasonable, but he didn't expect to be able to dig a hole just like this.
He immediately shouted angrily, "Don't mess around here, when did I target you? I just received a report to search. It is a serious crime to hide weapons. As a minister, this king will of course share the emperor's worries and prevent danger."
Gu Yundong raised his head, "Have you found it yet?"
“…”
Gu Yundong, "No, right? You just listened to an old woman who didn't know where she came from and said that I have weapons in the warehouse, and you believe it? As a courtier, you are so easily deceived. You are the only one who shares the worries for the emperor. Does the emperor dare to let you share your worries? You have no brains."
King Lu almost spat out a mouthful of blood, watching Gu Yundong grit his teeth, "If you can't find it now, it doesn't mean it's not there. The weapon must still be in Xinming Pavilion."
