Chapter 466: Countermeasures
"What are we going to do next? The subordinates of the Ye Guo Mansion were murdered on the street, and this matter is not so easy to calculate. The eldest lady glanced at the father and son menacingly.
"Let's make a big deal about this, since it's a street murder, why do we have to act quietly? It seems that we are thieves. Gu Yun's eyes rolled.
When the couple saw their son's expression, they knew that he must have had some idea.
"Then tell me about it, after all, Bai Ko is your steward, and you should stand up for her." The eldest lady took a sip of tea.
"There's a ready-made opportunity to make a big deal." Gu Yun paused, "Bai Ko is injured now and can no longer make dim sum, the women's tea room can only be closed for a month, and the reservation fee of the guests will be refunded from tomorrow, which is a refund, naturally there must be a reason, Bai Ko was assassinated by the killer is a fact, not me made it up, after word of mouth from the daughters, it will naturally be passed on to the palace." Our Yeguo Mansion is the party concerned, and if there are some things that are inconvenient to say, then we will use the mouth of others to say it for us, and the palace will inevitably send someone out to verify, and they will handle the rest of the matter. ”
"You're beating gongs and drums all over the capital to announce that Bai Ko has been assassinated." Grandpa Guo smiled with interest.
"The killer kills people in the street, and I am not allowed to shout out for injustice? Where does this come from? Our Yeguo Mansion is a victim, if we swallow our anger, it is not to degrade our identity. Gu Yun said dryly, picked up the small teacup, raised his head and drank it all.
"That's right, it's a fact that Bai Ko was injured, it's a fact that the tea room business was affected, and it's a fact that the reservation fee is refunded. Even if it is for the sake of the future business of the tea room, you have to tell the truth to the guests, otherwise what if you wait for Bai Ko to recover from her injuries and the guests no longer come to the door during this month's blank period? The eldest lady agreed with her son's idea.
"Since that's the case, let's make a big fuss, tomorrow I'll go to the official office to spread the word about it, and see how other people react to this matter, and I'll almost be able to circle a few suspects."
"Although there are many concubines in the harem, but the son is a weapon, and he also has the strength to count the mothers who are mischievous with the East Palace, if it is really done by one of them, how do I feel surprising and not very surprised." The eldest lady sighed faintly.
"The battle for the heir has always been unscrupulous, I am afraid that the queen will be in danger, but compared to the prince, she is a little safer now." The more Grandpa Guo talked, the more scary it became, Gu Yun felt a chill on his back, and he was ready to retire after pouring a full teacup for his parents.
"By the way, Aunt Rong has something to look for you, Gu Hui opened her mouth to speak in the afternoon, you just go to the back to have a look." The eldest lady admonished her son before he went out.
Grandpa Guo and Gu Yun were surprised and delighted together, "Why did she suddenly speak?" ”
"It seems to be stimulated by Bai Ko's injury, which is always a good thing anyway."
"Okay, I'll go over here."
Gu Yun turned around and went out, went straight to the back building, and stood in the courtyard shouting Shui Zhen.
Shui Zhen ran down from the second floor and welcomed Gu Yun upstairs to the room in the east wing, which was Aunt Rong's usual director's study.
Aunt Rong smiled and welcomed Gu Yun into the house at the door, Gu Yun first said hello to Aunt Rong, the two exchanged greetings for a moment and got to the point, Gu Yun naturally refused to let Aunt Rong pay for the guest's reservation fee, the reason was the same as Bai Ko, the money collected in the tea room fell into her pocket, no matter what Aunt Rong said, he didn't agree.
"Auntie, you really want to express your gratitude, Bai Ko is now going to recuperate for a month's injury, you can get her some delicious food than anything else, so that she will be bored and carry me behind my back."
"Bai Ko is so naughty, don't talk about her like that."
"Okay, I won't speak ill of her, but it's not negotiable, and besides, we're going to use the opportunity to make a big fuss about the reimbursement costs. Now that Eria is getting better, you should take good care of her, and we won't be polite to you if we need your help. ”
Seeing that Gu Yun was so persistent, Aunt Rong didn't say anything more.
"Okay, since you say so, I won't insist, if you have anything to do with me, you must say it, although the Ou family is not a big businessman, but there are many peddlers and pawns under them, and they are good at spreading rumors or something, and the fact that Bai Ko was injured can be spread to the whole capital through their mouths."
"Hey, this is a good idea, but don't rush it for a while, wait for the news to spread in the upper circles, and then borrow the people of the district family to spread it throughout the capital."
"Okay, I'll wait for your orders."
The two agreed on this, Gu Yun then went back to Zhongming Courtyard to rest, after eating the dinner made by the girls, as usual, he went to say good night to the old lady, and talked about Bai Ko, Gu Yun didn't want to scare the old grandmother, only said that the murderer would be tracked down, and then the topic turned to the second room, they had already set a few days in late May or early June, depending on the weather conditions, the whole family set off to Pingzhou, marry Gu Wan at the end of June, and then marry the nine girls of the Gan family on July 7, and then the second lady stayed in Pingzhou to take care of her husband, Gu Xu took his wife and younger brothers and sisters back to Beijing together, The opening of the ancestral hall sacrifices to the ancestors in mid-autumn.
Gu Yun coaxed the old grandmother to hug her great-grandson next year, which made the old man laugh.
After returning to Zhongming Courtyard, Gu Yun went directly to review his homework and did not disturb Bai Ko's rest again.
The Yeguo Mansion is calm, but the atmosphere of Shi Yuma's family is gloomy, Shi Tianqi's killer is behind her parents' back, only her brother Shi Tianmin knows, but when he knows it, it is too late, and his wayward sister is unwilling to withdraw his hands, thinking that Bai Ko is dead.
No one could have imagined that Bai Ko was only seriously injured.
The hands given by my grandmother are all well-trained and good hands, and I don't know how many lives have been stained on my hands, so I will plant a heel in a little girl.
The colt and the eldest princess didn't have time to be angry at their daughter's recklessness, they were more worried about the stern consequences of the fact that Bai Ko was not dead.
"If Bai Ko is dead, it's okay, she is not dead now, tomorrow when the news spreads, many people will immediately think of her great achievements during the New Year, and they will definitely think that this is the mastermind behind the incident of the emperor and grandson is deliberately revenge and killing!" Shi Yuma's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, how to deal with the aftermath of a headache.
"Originally, I gave up the life of the prince and the widow, just to end the murder of the emperor and grandson, after half a year, you still want to attack Bai Ko, she is a lowly official and maid, a thing that can be manipulated by others, how can she be worthy of your dignified Miss Shi to be so attentive to her?" The eldest princess held a small porcelain cup in her hand and scolded angrily.
"Bai Ko is Gu Yun's money bag, she has proved her talent for making money in the past six months, how much did she earn in the month when the tea room opened? Gu Yun didn't know how much she valued her, she was injured today, Gu Yun must have jumped to her feet in anger, and the subordinates of the Ye Guo Mansion were assassinated on the street, and the Ye Guo Gong and his wife would not give up. ”
Shi Tianmin has not been in contact with Gu Yun in vain in the past few months, and he has some understanding of his temperament, not to mention how much Gu Yun values Bai Ko, and the entire school knows it from the master to the miscellaneous servant.
