Chapter 240 Small Profits but Quick Reduction



A hint of disdain flashed across Gu Yunru's eyes.

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here." Xie Yihui originally received news at home that Xie Changyong was involved in a lawsuit, so he went to the scene in person to see how these people would judge and whether his son was guilty or not.

I didn't expect to see Princess Zhao here. Gu Yunru is no simple woman. She has a sharp tongue. She defeated him with just a few words last time. I don't know what trouble she wants to make this time.

"Master Xie, you came at the right time. Do you know this Hu Tu?" Gu Yunru raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yihui's expression. He first glanced at Hu Tu's face briefly, then denied it flatly, "Of course I don't know this person.

There are so many servants in the mansion, how come I know a little Hu Tu?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several adults hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. So much information was leaked in just one sentence, and they didn't know what to do.

Gu Yunru laughed loudly, put her hands behind her back, walked up to Xie Yihui and said, "I didn't say he was from your family just now, why are you so nervous, Mr. Xie?"

"this……"

Xie Yihui's face changed. He didn't expect that this little girl was playing a trick on him. He simply waved his wide sleeves and sat aside, wanting to watch these adults continue the interrogation.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the most difficult case they had ever tried. On one side was Princess Zhao, and on the other was their own master. What should they do?

"Why don't you start?" Xie Yihui was silently pressuring him. Xie Changyong saw his savior coming and wanted to rush forward to hug his thighs. He looked at him with a frustrated face and said, "Dad, I don't even know this Hu Tu. He insisted that I was the one who instigated him to set fire to Keren Pavilion. God has eyes. I, Xie Changyong, have always been upright, but I have never done such a thing."

Looking at Xie Changyong's righteous look, Gu Yunru snorted coldly, which attracted the attention of Xie Yihui beside him. He turned his head slowly, suddenly realized something, and touched the goatee on his chin.

"Hearing Yong'er's words, I just remembered that Keren Hall seemed to be opened by the princess, and the clothes designed by the princess were loved by the ladies in the palace."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. When I design men's clothing in the future, I will definitely send a set to your house. Please thank you, sir, and don't be ungrateful."

After several years of training, she can now speak a few nice words in official circles. Xie Yihui is obviously a smiling tiger. On the surface, he is friendly and polite to others, but in reality he is ruthless and cruel. Now he wants to favor his son. Gu Yunru will naturally not let the father and son succeed.

Looking at the adults on the case, he said, "My lords, we are at the point where we were just now in the trial. We can continue now."

"Okay..." The adult sitting on the chair was already sweating profusely, and the cold sweat on his face was almost soaking his clothes. He didn't dare to look at the two people's eyes again, but just asked Hu Tu whether he recognized Xie Changyong and the Grand Chancellor.

When the master came this time, Hu Tu was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should speak, so he knelt aside.

Gu Yunru waited for his answer, and saw Xie Yihui half-closed his eyes with an impatient look on his face and said, "Sir, this Hu Tu is always hesitant when speaking as a witness, and it is obvious that he is guilty. It seems that there is someone else behind the scenes! Why not torture him and find out who the mastermind is?"

Hu Tu was so frightened that his legs went weak and his body couldn't stop shaking. He had just been tortured a few days ago, why did he do it again this time? He kowtowed several times in the direction of Xie Yihui and said, "Master, please don't do it, Master, please don't do it. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Seeing Hu Tu so scared, Gu Yunru hurried forward, but he kept repeating "I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake" in his mouth, and it seemed that he was on the verge of mental collapse.

"How about this, sir, let's talk about this another day. Let's just forget it." Gu Yunru didn't want to make things difficult for Hu Tu. After all, he was also doing his job for money.

She was ready to give up, but Xie Changyong insisted, "No, my father finally came here, why not let this guy explain clearly and ask who is behind this? You can't let me admit my mistake for no reason."

Xie Changyong frowned, grabbed Hu Tu's collar, and asked sternly: "Tell me quickly, who instructed you to set the fire?" Hu Tu was so scared that his face turned pale, his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and he turned his eyes to Gu Yunru for help.

"Let him go!"

Gu Yunru threw Xie Changyong's claws away, but saw blood flowing from the corners of Hu Tu's mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted. Seeing this, she hurriedly felt for his pulse and found that his heartbeat had gradually subsided.

"Hutu?"

Several adults were also puzzled. When they walked down, they saw that the guy named Hu Tu had already died. Xie Yihui shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I just want to ask who is the mastermind behind this. I didn't expect this guy to be so easily frightened.

It seems that Princess Zhao was also deceived by him, so let's just leave it at that."

Gu Yunru was still in shock and hadn't come back to her senses. Xie Yihui had already left the government office with his son Xie Changyong. The adults didn't know what to do. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and said, "Princess Zhao, this man bit his tongue to commit suicide."

"I know... bury him properly and give some money to his family." Gu Yunru was no longer able to save his life. Hu Tu chose to sacrifice himself under pressure from both sides. Gu Yunru was angry. She shouldn't have asked him like this when Xie Yihui came.

When she came out of the mansion, it was already drizzling. Qing Xing came to her side holding an oil-paper umbrella. Seeing that the princess looked bad, she muttered, "What's wrong with the princess? I just saw the second son of the Xie family being taken back by Lord Xie. Could it be that the case has not been judged?"

"Well, even if I am the Princess of Zhao, so what? Xie Yihui is extremely powerful. It is extremely difficult to find out the truth in front of him..." Gu Yunru seemed to be talking to herself. Could it be that no matter where they are, as long as a powerful person is able to cover the sky with one hand?

And who should Hu Tu be appealed to for his life? "Princess...what are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Qing Xing looked at her in confusion. Seeing the princess's self-pitying look, it seemed that this case had not been judged to its full potential.

"Nothing, just treat it as me talking to myself." Gu Yunru smiled and followed her back to the mansion. The new guest in the mansion was asked to gather around and serve, and even the staff of Ginkgo Garden were transferred over.
