Chapter 1254: A Look Can Attract Enemies

"I haven't offended anyone, let alone in the palace. Every time I enter the palace, I only go to Imperial Consort Shu's bedroom. No one leads the way in other places, I don't dare to walk around. I am such an honest person, how could I offend anyone."

Gu Yiyang cried out in grievance.

He was just a bit of a playboy, a bit dissolute, eating, drinking, and playing every day. To say he did any big bad things, he didn't have the guts or the idea. The family ordered him not to mess around, and he wasn't favored, so naturally, he didn't dare to act recklessly as a Gu family son and cause trouble for the family.

He was so honest outside, and even more like a quail when he entered the palace, not daring to look around, how could he offend anyone.

Chen Guanlou hummed twice, "That's not necessarily true. People in the palace are different from people outside. They are trapped in the palace, their words and deeds are restricted everywhere, and their lives are extremely suppressed, which causes them to have particularly small minds, just the size of a needle tip.

Sometimes an unconscious look or action of yours, a casual word, will be interpreted with multiple meanings, thereby attracting hatred. When you don't know it, maybe enemies have already lined up."

"This... this... isn't this an unprovoked disaster."

Gu Yiyang cried to death!

He couldn't guarantee that some of his actions or looks in the palace wouldn't attract enemies.

He knew people in the palace had small minds.

But he didn't expect that a wrong look could also attract enemies.

Is it worth it?

He was very sure that he had never shown a look of contempt or disdain in the palace. Reasonably speaking, it shouldn't be like this.

Chen Guanlou analyzed for him: "If you directly showed a look of contempt or disdain, it's impossible to have lived until today. I guess, perhaps it was some of your actions that made people misunderstand that you looked down on them, or even humiliated them.

Of course, it could also be the disaster brought by your Imperial Consort Shu sister. However, to deal with Imperial Consort Shu, not targeting the Gu family, but targeting you. You are not that important in the Gu family. Even if the Gu family is implicated because of you, it won't hurt the foundation, at most it will damage the reputation, and the marriage of unmarried descendants in the family will be a bit difficult. So, this point doesn't make sense."

"It's still aimed at me, it really is the enemy I attracted in the palace." Gu Yiyang looked at him eagerly, his face pale.

Chen Guanlou nodded, "At least there is a 70% possibility that you attracted disaster for yourself. I already said you offended the Tai Sui this year, even drinking cold water gets stuck in your teeth, and you still don't believe it. Didn't you find someone to look at it?"

"I found one, and I even bought a peace talisman. As a result, the peace talisman doesn't protect peace. I really am..." miserable!

Chen Guanlou didn't care if he was miserable, he just wanted to know who exactly he offended, being able to mobilize the Marquis Pingjiang Prefecture as a support, and also being able to let the killer commit suicide voluntarily. This ability is not ordinary.

He underestimated the other party before.

"Saying you have bad luck, you must have met a liar and bought a fake peace talisman."

Gu Yiyang really wanted to howl and cry.

Buying a peace talisman and getting a fake one, he really is miserable this year.

"Then what should I do now? If the case can't be overturned, will I really be sentenced to be beheaded immediately? If I take out money, can I buy my acquittal?"

"You are thinking about farting!" Chen Guanlou scolded fiercely, "If it's a small case, spending money to eliminate disaster can lead to acquittal. Your case involves four lives, and it has already alarmed the palace. The Marquis Pingjiang Prefecture is indeed fallen, and it is not favored by the palace. But people have a title on their heads, and four lives died all at once, so they have to give an explanation. It's impossible to let you go for a little money."

"Then if I give more money, can they let me go?" Gu Yiyang asked eagerly.

Chen Guanlou laughed coldly, "I already said, this case alarmed the palace. What if the Emperor wants to use this case to beat your Gu family, beat Imperial Consort Shu, beat your imperial prince nephew, guess what end you will have."

"However, I am innocent!"

"Who knows!" Chen Guanlou complained, "Except for me believing you are innocent, everyone else believes you killed Zhang Laosan's family."

"I didn't kill anyone! I don't even dare to kill a chicken, how could I kill anyone."

"So you hired a killer!"

Gu Yiyang lost his temper instantly, leaving only anger, regret, grievance, and panic. His grievance, is there no place to declare? Who exactly is painstakingly wanting his life.

He racked his brains, but couldn't think of which god in the palace he offended.

"How about this, you pay, and I'll investigate the movements in the palace for you. Since they are making a setup to harm you, now that you are locked in a cell, the other party should have some actions more or less."

"Brother Chen, you actually have a way in the palace." Gu Yiyang was overjoyed, as if his grievance could be declared and he could see the light of day again.

Chen Guanlou snorted, "Last time you were released from prison, you took the palace's path. Have you forgotten?"

Gu Yiyang smiled embarrassedly, "I was too excited at the time, didn't pay attention to these details."

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly requested, "Prepare more money, ten thousand or eight thousand, take as much as you have. This is to save your life, don't be stingy with money at this time."

"I'm not stingy with money. I have about six or seven thousand taels on hand, and I'll find someone to scrape together... Or you can just find my big brother for money. Tell him it's to save my life, he will definitely give money. Ten thousand taels is not a problem."

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with unkind eyes.

Gu Yiyang felt guilty instantly, "Is there a problem?"

"How long have you been out of prison, and you saved six or seven thousand taels. Your Gu family is indeed deep in foundation."

"It's all money given by elders in the family as compensation, plus the harvest of those shops and manors this year is also counted in my name, so I have some spare money on hand."

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, very emotional, "No wonder girls want to marry into high gates. You leak a little from your fingers, and it's enough for a family's expenses for several years."

Gu Yiyang laughed awkwardly, "It's not that exaggerated!"

"Hundreds of years of accumulation, it really makes people envious." Chen Guanlou sighed sincerely.

"No, not that much money. You don't need to envy." Gu Yiyang continued to be awkward.

"You write a note, I'll find your big brother for money. Are you sure you can get money from your big brother's hands? Don't you say your brother relationship is average?"

"Now that I am in trouble, he, as the eldest brother and the future head of the family, should worry and run around for me." Gu Yiyang had an attitude of course.

Clearly, after a prison disaster, he had made some progress after being released. At least he knew who to ask for help. Parents couldn't be relied on, so he could only rely on his eldest brother for help.

The eldest brother, as the heir, could mobilize resources and silver, which he couldn't catch up with.

He decisively wrote the note.

Chen Guanlou took the note and arranged for Qian Fugui to get money from the Gu family.

"You go to the Gu family, and after seeing someone, you tell the other party that this money is to save a life. Otherwise, Gu Yiyang will definitely die! If they ask, you let them enter the palace and ask Imperial Consort Shu!"

"Does this matter have anything to do with the palace?" Qian Fugui looked very nervous.

Chen Guanlou glared, "Don't you understand what it means to pull a tiger's skin to make a banner. Hurry up!" ===== CHAPTER 1255 =====
