Chapter 660 662. How to remedy the situation?
Gu Wenheng looked at him with a smile, "I don't understand what you mean, Lord Liu. If there is a problem, I will naturally solve it, but this is beyond my authority, so I naturally have to seek the decision from my superiors."
Seeing Liu Xuan's angry eyes, Gu Wenheng sighed, "Master Liu, you should think about how to make amends."
These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were undoubtedly an astronomical figure for Yi Province, a poor province.
He had just glanced at the account book a few times. The accounting method was really secretive. If Qianqian had not received training on this before, he might not have been able to find it out.
It was estimated that this Liu had been delaying himself before. Not only did he want to make himself fall behind, but he also wanted to disturb his mind and he would not check the account books that had already become a foregone conclusion for a while.
If someone else came to take over, they would really be fooled.
It was just that Liu Xuan was unlucky and met him.
Liu Xuan was extremely regretful at this moment. If he had known that Gu Wenheng would be so difficult to deal with, he would have been more ruthless and perhaps things would not have ended up like this.
What worries him more now is that all these secret amounts have been uncovered and his official career will be over.
"Lord Gu, please forgive others when you can. I know that these accounts were caused by my carelessness. How about this? I will make up for the missing amounts." Liu Xuan stepped forward and said in a low voice.
As for the guards beside him, they were all Gu Wenheng's confidants, and he didn't take them seriously.
Gu Wenheng, "Master Liu, it's too late to say this now.
The Governor may be on his way here, so why don't you think about how to resolve this matter?"
Gu Wenheng didn't think this was a good idea. This man was able to dig up so much silver during his tenure as Censor, what about before that?
If we let him go like this, who knows where he will suffer in the future.
If he was gentle now, then if Liu Xuan became more aggressive in the future, he would be the indirect executioner.
Liu Xuan's face was grim. "Master Gu, you are trying to go against my Liu family."
Liu Xuan's information immediately appeared in Gu Wenheng's mind. The Liu family he mentioned was a prominent family in the north.
It is said that they have a history of several hundred years, and are deeply rooted throughout the north, so ordinary people dare not provoke them.
"I am loyal to my emperor and I am the one who feeds me." Gu Wenheng did not think he would be afraid. "Lord Liu's actions have violated the emperor's taboo. You should think about how to get around this first."
Who doesn't have a backer? Gu Wenheng took over by imperial decree. Could the Liu family be more powerful than the emperor?
"Good, really good!" Liu Xuan gritted his teeth and said these words, then he waved his hands and found a place to sit down. Even if this matter could not be resolved amicably, he had to think about how to minimize the impact of this matter.
Gu Wenheng touched his belly. He had not had time to eat lunch due to the rush on his journey, and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
He now misses his wife very much. If she were by his side, he wouldn't have to worry about these problems.
Mingzhong winked at the brothers around him, and asked someone to come and take his place soon. He turned around and was about to go out, but at this moment, he was stopped by Liu Xuan's guards.
"Quickly get out of the way. Our master has been traveling all the way and hasn't had any food or water today. He's starving. Can you bear the consequences?"
"Lord Gu hasn't eaten yet?" Wu Haicong exclaimed. At this point, anyone who is not stupid would know what to choose.
"Then we have to arrange it quickly," someone else said, "You are not familiar with this place, so let me go to a nearby restaurant and order some dishes."
Everyone would like to please their superiors and leave a better impression.
The person who spoke behind did not allow anyone to refuse him and walked out directly around the guards.
Liu Xuan also felt the changes in these people at this moment, and cursed in his heart that the tea had gone cold before they even left.
Seeing the people surrounding Gu Wenheng, he snorted coldly and called his confidant to whisper to them.
The confidant was about to leave, but before he reached the door, Ming'an, who was dressed as a coachman, stopped him with a whip in his hand.
"Master Gu, what does this mean?"
Gu Wenheng, "It's best if no one leaves before things are clear.
If something else is lost, Lord Liu will have no way to explain it.
After all, you said before that the people under you are not reliable, so it is better to be on guard against them."
Liu Xuan: "..." Feelings are waiting here.
“Master Gu, please don’t forget that I am not a criminal in your hands, and I still need your permission to come and go.
Come here, throw out anyone who is blocking my orders."
As soon as he finished speaking, his trusted men attacked Ming An at the same time.
Mingqin and the others still protected Gu Wenheng and made comments from time to time.
Ming Si thought, "Ming An looks a little anxious, and he doesn't even take care of his beard. He looks more hateful than us."
"Oh, if it weren't for his looks, the master wouldn't have chosen him as a coachman.
But is this kid a little discouraged because he has been driving for too long? He no longer works hard on his training. Look at his movements, they seem a little rusty.”
The corners of the mouths of the people around twitched. He was fighting against so many people alone and still made them despise him. The martial arts of those people here must be really amazing.
"Ming An, can you do this?" Ming Qin was watching intently, and was standing on tiptoe. "The whip in your hand is useless here. How about I throw a knife to you?"
Ming An used the force to kick someone over, and used the handle of the whip in his hand to hit another person's temple directly, and did not forget to say distractedly, "There is nothing wrong with being a man. If you are watching a show, just watch it carefully and don't point fingers from the sidelines.
I haven't taken action for too long, let me stretch my muscles first, and then I'll use my ultimate move later."
Everyone: "..." He's almost knocked down, and it's just a stretch?
If I use a big move, who should I target?
It was not known whether they had the same idea, but everyone's eyes were on Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan looked at his men and saw that they were useless. It had only been a short period of time and they were already at a disadvantage.
You have to know that this is a one-on-five situation. It seems that there will be no good outcome today.
He was confused in his heart. How could a poor student be surrounded by so many expert guards?
"Lord Gu, this is not the place for a fight of courage." Liu Xuan said coldly only after he saw the last of his men being knocked down.
Gu Wenheng, "I can't really blame the driver for this. After all, I'm a country boy with little experience, so it's inevitable that I was a little heavy-handed."
As he spoke, he looked around the area where they were fighting and looked at Ming An with appreciation, "You were quite gentle in your attacks and didn't break anything around you, otherwise it would cost a lot of money to buy new things."
Liu Xuan's cronies, who had already been beaten, were already lying on the ground, unable to refute.
