Chapter 284 What's the rationale? !

When Gu Ruizhou returned to the lobby again, the atmosphere here was even stranger.

More than half of his former colleagues were looking at him with indescribable expressions on their faces. Even the cute little Dumpling, who had been so sweet just now, was now glaring at him angrily, as if he owed her eight hundred dollars.

Hungry?

Gu Ruizhou didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly called the kitchen staff to put the food on the table.

The meal is very simple, with four dishes and one soup, and the amount of rice is also sufficient.

After all the food was placed on the table, the little dumpling's face finally looked a little better.

Gu Ruizhou calmed down a little: "Sir, enjoy your meal. I will be at your service anytime if you need anything."

She was just hungry.

He thought firmly.

After saying this, he returned to the counter and began to calculate the bill skillfully.

The more he calculated, the more obvious the smile on his lips became.

Although he didn't want these people to live here, it was undeniable that this brought him very generous rewards.

With this money, he will be able to retire and enjoy his old age in peace!

Gu Ruizhou, who was just worrying about how to get rid of this group of people, now found them more and more pleasing to the eye.

The expression of the man eating in silence was pleasing to the eye, the man dressed in servant's clothes but still looked noble was pleasing to the eye, and even the little guy's coquettish look when he glared at him from time to time was pleasing to the eye -

Um???

etc!

Why is she still staring?!

Isn't the food already served? ! !

Everyone looked at Gu Ruizhou settling the accounts with a bit of heartache, and wanted to rush forward to wake him up.

Don’t count anymore!

Your inn has been targeted by the little guy!

Although it is still Gu Ruizhou's property now, sooner or later it will be added to the national treasury and become a mountain of gold and silver that the little guy "conquers" for her handsome father, the emperor!

During the period before Gu Ruizhou served the dishes, the young man went crazy after seeing the words "burnt prime minister's residence". He stopped looking at the melons and eating the cookies. He only wanted to recover the money used to renovate the prime minister's residence.

They listened almost closely to the 108 ways of forcibly expropriating citizens' private property.

What——

[A group of bandits "newly arrived" in the mountains next door, and accidentally kidnapped Gu Ruizhou back to the village. Our righteous and benevolent teacher Da Rui bravely rescued him. Gu Ruizhou was moved and decided to hand over the inn under his name to the country! ]

What——

[Gu Ruizhou's inn in Quchun was severely targeted by his peers, and his business went from bad to worse. He had no choice but to sell it to the state at a very low price! ]

And that "Brother Tong" added from the side -

[Yes! It can be done this way!!]

【Gu Ruizhou saw that his former colleague was living in poverty, so he donated the inn with tears in his eyes, and then his "colleague" handed it over to the country! !】

【Reasonable!!】

The people present: How is this reasonable? ! !

Let’s not talk about the first two ways that the person’s involvement is too obvious, let’s talk about the “colleague” one——

Gu Ruizhou was an honest official and an upright person, a person they all admired very much, but as for the kind of camaraderie among colleagues, there was not much of that.

They were all staunch members of the Mingze imperial party, and their stance was completely different from Gu Ruizhou's.

The reason why Emperor Mingze allowed him to ascend to the position of prime minister was, firstly, because of Gu Ruizhou's contribution in assisting the previous emperor during his reign, and secondly, he was indeed a good official who served the country and the people.

The meal was eaten in unusual silence.

After leaving the palace and Beijing, they were just an ordinary father and daughter from a wealthy merchant family. Jiang Yanchuan personally served the little guy dishes and soup, which directly raised the value of this ordinary meal by several levels.

Jiang Yingcheng's big eyes were circling around her handsome father. She didn't even feel what was being fed into her mouth. There were only three words left in her mind -

【So, so precious! 】

Jiang Yingcheng wanted to continue to experience this "precious" thing, and his thoughts quickly diverged -

[It’s great to travel, Chengcheng wants to travel again next year! ]

In her impression, rewards are linked to performance. If she wants to get the reward of going out to play again, she must -

【Hehehe. 】

Jiang Yingcheng looked slyly at Gu Ruizhou who was calculating the bills behind the counter, and laughed with his hands covering his mouth.

【It's you! 】

Although this inn is a bit shabby, a bit small, and the location is not very good, it is still a piece of meat after all!

Without taking small steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles!

Jiang Yingcheng had almost finished eating, so she held her face with both hands, leaned on the table, and began to read Gu Ruizhou's information from the beginning, with a confident tone in her heart.

[A good military advisor must start by knowing both oneself and the enemy! ]

【Cheng Cheng is about to start!!】

The ministers were so excited that they even slowed down their chewing movements unconsciously.

Although they could generally guess that there must be some hidden story behind the arson incident, this unconfirmed speculation was like a straw that stuck in their hearts, swaying from time to time and making them itchy!

It is said that someone saw Gu Ruizhou singing loudly in the sea of ​​fire. He did not come out of the prime minister's residence until the flames were extinguished.

Now, they suddenly heard the young man say in his heart that the owner of this inn was the Gu Ruizhou they knew. For a moment, they all felt absurd as if they had seen a ghost.

[Huh? ! ! ]

Jiang Yingcheng had only flipped through the book for a few breaths when his eyes widened in shock at the words in front of him.

[Is he still a good official?! ]

[Hmm... Eliminating evil and promoting good, pleading for the people, why is such a good official——]

[Oh, he's Uncle King Jing's conspirator. That's fine...]

The little girl has a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. She never loves everyone equally, but she equally dislikes everyone who goes against her handsome father.

Although Gu Ruizhou is a good official, since he supports King Jing indiscriminately, let it go.

She doesn't want to like him anymore.

Jiang Yingcheng continued to read with a bit of resentment: [Well, I actually gave Uncle Jing Wang so many ideas! ]

His brows furrowed slightly because of the news.

[Humph, even though he did so many good things, because he openly and secretly supported Uncle Jing Wang, many people thought that these good things were also participated in by Jing Wang behind the scenes, which invisibly increased his prestige! ]

Jiang Yingcheng was so angry that his cheeks puffed up and he kept digging at the table with his fingers.

Uncle King Jing clearly knew about these rumors among the people, but he never corrected them. This is enough to show what kind of person he is. But Gu Ruizhou is confused by the situation and thinks that King Jing will be a more competent emperor than her beautiful father!

She's almost pissed off!

The officials stopped eating completely.

The look he gave Gu Ruizhou was full of sympathy.

There is no doubt that Gu Ruizhou is a good official. Now that his whereabouts have been discovered, Emperor Mingze will most likely consider how to use him again.

only--

I always feel that after the young man said this, Gu Ruizhou's future career path will be extremely difficult...

【Um?!】

Suddenly, the resentful tone took a turn, and the young man's inner voice suddenly became extremely surprised -

[Is it really like this?! ]
