Chapter 1348 The Emperor's Methods

Now everyone around realized that someone was deliberately targeting the Gu family. Previously, it was because the emperor had a daughter, Gu Die'er, serving him. Even if the people in the dark had the intention to steal, they didn't have the courage to steal. Now that Concubine Gu was sent back in a coffin, it proved that the Gu family's backers could not be relied on, so the people in the dark took action.

Although the people who made a scene at the funeral were arrested by the government and fined, Gu Minglang was also injured. After hurriedly burying his mother, he began to sell his property to pay off his debts. In order to raise money, he also went to Xuzhou to sell off the shipping business.

Gu Minglang's business in Xuzhou went smoothly. After selling off the shipping business, he collected enough money to pay off his debts. He immediately rented a car and hurried back. Unfortunately, he encountered bandits on the way. Not only was the silver robbed, but the people were also kidnapped. The bandits threatened to sell people to mine. Only a servant ran home with injuries all over his body to report the news.

Gu Minglang's wife was also indecisive. She was at a loss for a moment. She could only release Mr. Gu, who had been imprisoned for many years, and let him take charge of the family affairs. The first thing she did was to report to the authorities.

The government sent yamen runners to check the scene. The scene was very chaotic. There was indeed a fight, and the blood was not dry. However, except for the broken carriage, no one was found.

The yamen runners searched the mountain, but there was no hiding place for the bandits on the nearby mountains. Someone immediately realized that these people must have been eyeing the Gu family for a long time. Seeing that the other party took a large sum of silver back to Youzhou, they found someone to play such a drama and pushed the matter onto the bandits. It must be that some people robbed the silver and killed people to silence them.

The case was deadlocked, and rumors spread for a while. It was said that the Gu family was probably going to end this time.

Two days later, Mrs. Gu took her son to the clinic for treatment, but was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. Both mother and son were burned to death.

The government officials went to investigate and found that the medicine boy who was boiling medicine in the backyard sneaked out to play and burned the medicine pot dry. After the pot exploded, the sparks fell on the dry herbs drying on the side, and then the fire started.

"Do you think it's really such a coincidence?"

"What do you think?"

"Let's go, let's go back and report, let the Gu family take the body back and bury it!"

The yamen runners went back to explain the results of the investigation to the chief officer, and then sent his men to the Gu Mansion to inform them.

Zuo Ci'an turned over with one move and lived a domineering life again. He had long been fed up with his son who looked like Mrs. Gu, but the other party was the recognized head of the Gu family, so he could only choose to endure it.

As a result, the news of his son's disappearance came soon after. Although he lost a large sum of money, it relieved his worries. He only sent people to the yamen to inquire a few times symbolically, and then he started to spend money on wine and women to make up for his past losses.

Now even Gu Minglang's wife and son were burned to death. Zuo Ci'an knew that no one would compete with him for the family property. The little granddaughter left in the family was only ten years old and would not be an obstacle to him at all. However, he also realized that the Gu family was being targeted, so he valued money more and more. After hurriedly holding a funeral for his daughter-in-law and grandson, he sold the yard where he lived now, took the remaining money of the Gu family and settled somewhere else.

Since then, the Youzhou Gu family has completely disappeared in front of everyone, and Xin Yuan, who was far away in Kyoto, learned about this not long after. He immediately sent people to investigate and found that the Gu family members were dead, missing, and running away, and had completely disappeared.

He remembered what Gu Concubine said before jumping off the cliff, went to Fengyi Palace where the queen was, and then issued an order to posthumously confer Gu Die'er as Jingfei, and she would enjoy the royal offerings forever.

After the queen Yang Peirong respectfully sent the emperor away, she held the hand of the palace maid and returned to the inner room.

The maid noticed that the Queen's hands were cold and trembling slightly, so she immediately asked:

"The Queen is not feeling well, do you want to summon the imperial physician?"

"No, make me a cup of ginseng tea, I want to be quiet."

"Yes, Queen."

After the maid took the order, the Queen's face darkened. She now feared the Emperor more than she loved him, and was more afraid than respectful.

She knew how Gu Die'er entered the palace, and it was because of her that she couldn't have children. But even so, the Gu family always stood by the Emperor, giving him money and food. The Emperor's personal expedition was so smooth this time, not only because of his own ability, but also because of the support of the Gu family.

But just because the other party was captured by the Hu people for a day and a night, the Emperor gave up on her. Although Concubine Gu saved the royal family's face by committing suicide, it was not the Gu family's fault. What was the result? What happened to the Gu family?

What's the point of posthumous honors? It was just a fig leaf for herself. She was sure that the emperor must have been behind the Gu family's trouble. It was simply killing the donkey after it had done its work, and she wanted to squeeze the last bit of the Gu family out of it.

The queen's imagination was powerful, but this did not prevent her from clarifying her attitude towards the emperor in the future. She also paid more attention to the education of her children. She did not want her son to live alone in the future.

The emperor frowned tightly when he saw the news about the Gu family sent back by the secret guard. He really wanted to take over the assets of the Gu family completely, but when he saw the news he found out, he knew that he might not be able to do so this time.

The Gu family drew out the silver for the turnover of raising military funds and purchasing food and grass, which led to problems in the business. After he returned to the court victoriously, he was busy dealing with the piles of memorials, also to forget Gu Die'er. As a result, because of his action, the onlookers thought that Gu Die'er was despised by him and the Gu family had no backing, so they all rushed up to tear off a piece of meat from the Gu family.

Then the Gu family was unlucky. Accidents happened one after another, and the head of the family also had accidents. In the end, only a little girl and Zuo Ci'an, who came to be a son-in-law, were left.

Zuo Ci'an was not a human being. In order to take a concubine, he actually sold his little granddaughter. He was really bad to the core. This made Xin Yuan's face more and more ugly. He felt offended.

He was the emperor with riches all over the world. These people actually did such a thing without his permission. Naturally, he was unwilling. At the same time, he also wanted to uphold justice for Gu Die'er in the underworld. Those people had to spit out as much as they swallowed from the Gu family.

Not long after, those merchants who took the opportunity to add insult to injury were unlucky. They spit out as much as they swallowed from the Gu family. They were also written into the government's blacklist, which made them keep their tails between their legs for a while.

Zuo Ci'an accidentally fell into the lake when he was drunk and drowned himself, thus ending his life.

After everything was settled, some people realized that the real beneficiary of the Gu family's defeat was the royal family.

Lianyi looked at the news that Boss Feng had found out, and could only sigh:

"As expected of a royal son, he plays a good chess game! How much of his love for you do you think is genuine?"

After hearing this, a veiled woman next to him shook her head and said:

"Maybe there is love, but compared to his kingdom, it is nothing to mention. He wants my wholehearted love, but he only gives me two points. Why should I sacrifice my life for these two points of love?"
