Chapter 19 Old Grudges
Gu Yanqing didn't even raise his eyelids, but said lightly: "I never remember the names of cats and dogs."
The man suddenly became angry and pushed Gu Yanqing.
He was strong and Gu Yanqing could not withstand his push. He took two steps back before he could stabilize his body.
Shen Jinan hurried over to support him, looking at the man as if he were looking at a dead person, and said coldly: "You push people when you disagree with something. Didn't your mother teach you etiquette?"
Then he said, "Oh, is he motherless? That's really pitiful. No wonder he bites people everywhere like a mad dog."
"How can you talk like that, little girl? Do you know who I am?" The jailer frowned, snorted coldly, and walked towards Shen Jinan.
"Who could it be? Just a stray dog driven out of the capital." The vigilance in Gu Yanqing's eyes remained unchanged.
This person has a special identity and is full of evil.
At that time, I spent a lot of effort and endured a lot of pressure to drive him out of the capital, but I didn't expect that he would be living freely here.
"Hmph, Gu Yanqing, you don't have to be so complacent. I'm afraid you don't understand the current situation. Today, I will let you see for yourself."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Yanqing with disdain and shouted outside at the top of his voice, "Someone, please invite our Prime Minister Gu and his wife and children to sit in the backyard."
Several jailers came in from outside and waited to see his face clearly.
Gu Yanqing's face darkened. He didn't expect all these people to gather here. It seemed that it would be difficult to fool them today.
The jailer reached out to pull Shen Jinan and Gu Yanqing, but Shen Jinan slapped him on the arm and said, "Don't bother us, we can walk on our own."
As early as the moment that person called out Gu Yanqing's name, Shen Jinan realized that he and Gu Yanqing might be old acquaintances and had a feud in the past.
It would be better to go out with them and wait for an opportunity to escape than to stay in this cell.
"You're smart." The jailer's gaze fell on Shen Jinan's face. He had not observed him carefully before.
Now I am shocked by her beauty. I didn’t expect that Gu Yanqing’s wife is so stunningly beautiful. It’s such a waste of a gift.
if……
He looked Shen Jinan up and down and smiled maliciously: "Mrs. Gu is really stunning. I have been in the capital for so many years and have never seen anyone more beautiful than Mrs. Gu."
When the jailers who came in looked at Gu Yanqing, there was a hint of hatred in their eyes, and when they looked at Shen Jinan, their eyes were even more presumptuous: "Yeah, I just don't know how Madam Gu compares to the girl in that building?"
Listening to their wanton discussion there, Gu Yanqing's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he wished he could tear them both into pieces.
"Xi Er, your father is still in jail, right?" The uncontrollable anger seemed to turn into substance and penetrated Xi Er. Gu Yanqing only hated that he could not deal with him immediately. Shen Jinan was his now, so he naturally could not let her suffer any grievances.
Xi Er was the one who had just compared Shen Jinan to a prostitute. Two years ago, Liu Feng, the son of the Minister of Revenue, and the second son of the Xi family and others committed all kinds of evil in the capital.
He raped a woman in the street and forced her entire family to death, which caused a sensation in the capital.
Liu Feng relied on his aunt who was quite favored in the palace and his father who was the Minister of Revenue to do many evil things.
Those officials turned a blind eye and didn't care about him at all.
By chance, this case fell into Gu Yanqing's hands, and he would not tolerate any sand in his eyes.
After learning about the evil deeds of Liu Feng and others, he immediately sent people to gather all the girls who had been persecuted by him.
After every case was investigated thoroughly, a memorial was submitted to the current emperor.
When the memorial was unfolded, it had more than thirty pages, which left all the officials in the court dumbfounded.
The emperor was furious and almost killed him on the spot.
Liu Fengtian was lucky that his aunt would rather lower her position to save his life.
The emperor then spared his life and expelled him from the capital.
I didn't expect that after not hearing from him for a few years, he was actually living happily in this remote place.
It seems that the Minister of Revenue really has some tricks up his sleeve. Not only did he cover up Liu Feng's affairs, but he also replaced Xi Er and others and made them into local tyrants in this post station.
Gu Yanqing's eyes dimmed slightly. It would have been fine if he hadn't met me, but now I have no power and influence, so it's hard to do anything to him.
But if anyone dares to plot against Shen Jinan, no matter how difficult it is, this group of people will never be able to continue living this carefree life.
"Xi Er will repay Prime Minister Gu for his kindness a hundredfold." Xi Er's eyes were sinister. His family had been in business for generations and was extremely wealthy. If it weren't for Gu Yanqing's unreasonable behavior, how could he have ended up with his property confiscated?
It is impossible for him to swallow this anger and hatred!
Either take revenge on Gu Yanqing, or take revenge on his wife and children.
They were supposed to be taken to the backyard, but the jailer suddenly got another order and took them to the lobby of the post station.
After Gu Yanqing and his group were taken there, no one paid any attention to them and just left them standing there.
After a while, a man in luxurious clothes walked out from inside and immediately smiled when he saw Gu Yanqing.
"I'm so sorry for not welcoming you, Prime Minister Gu." He looked familiar and patted Gu Yanqing on the shoulder, blaming him, "Look, you came all the way here, why didn't you tell me in advance so I could have a welcome banquet for you!"
Gu Yanqing stepped aside, shook off his hand, and said coldly: "I can't afford the Liu family's food."
He has not forgotten the Hongmen Banquet that year. If it weren't for the Liu family, his health would not have been in such a bad state.
"Still so grumpy?" Liu Feng paused his hand in mid-air, then lowered it. His smile faded considerably. "Prime Minister Gu, you don't think we're still in the capital today, and you're still the high and mighty Prime Minister, do you?"
Gu Yanqing did not answer, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if looking at him any longer would dirty his eyes.
Liu Feng looked at his aloof appearance, his anger rising sharply. He turned around, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at him: "Gu Yanqing, open your eyes and see clearly. We are not in the Dali Temple now. This is the post station, and I, Liu Feng, am the post station chief here. Now you are the one who can be manipulated by others!"
He had been holding back his anger over what happened back then. If it weren't for Gu Yanqing, how could he have left the capital in disgrace, being ridiculed by everyone? If it weren't for Gu Yanqing, how could he have wandered around the world for so long? How could he have a home he couldn't return to?
Gu Yanqing, he thought about this person every day, and cut him into pieces countless times in his heart every day. God has mercy on him, and finally! Finally, he got the chance he had been waiting for!
If Gu Yanqing came to him himself, how could he give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
He had long forgotten all laws.
