Chapter 278 Someone is trying to scam me
Gu Xiyan shook his head and repeated to him what Yao Jia said last night.
He also analyzed the current situation, expressed a neutral stance, and asked Gujiabao not to participate in any party competition to avoid getting into trouble.
Lord Gu naturally understood Gu Xiyan’s concerns.
He has been living in Kyoto these days, and many officials come to visit him every day to try to win him over. They are either from Prince Ping's faction or Prince Rui's faction, which annoys him greatly.
"Don't worry. Your mother and I had planned to leave Kyoto after you returned home. I will give you the blueprint right away, but you have to continue designing weapons and don't bury your talent."
Gu Xiyan nodded, "I know."
Lord Gu nodded, handed him the blueprints, and also handed him the list of gifts that the officials had given him in recent days, asking him to deal with them.
Gu Xiyan took a quick glance and saw that it was full of gold, silver, jewelry, silks, satins, antiques and rare treasures. He sneered in his heart.
These people are really willing to spend a lot of money. The total amount of these gifts is probably enough to equal Gujiabao's annual income.
Gifts must not be accepted.
Although Gujiabao is not a famous family, it can be considered a clean family. How can it be associated with these dirty politicians?
"I will return all these gifts to them according to the names on the gift list."
He gave a few more instructions to Castle Master Gu before leaving with Yao Jia.
In the carriage.
Gu Xiyan turned his head to look at Yao Jia, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.
"Thank you, my wife, for standing up for me today."
Yao Jia turned away from looking at him, "It's just a casual act, no need to thank me."
Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously. How could he react so quickly when he was just doing something casual? He didn't even organize his words and started calling Master Xue by his nickname.
"You lied. You obviously care about me."
After saying this, without giving Yao Jia a chance to refute, he also followed her example and turned his face away.
Yao Jia despised his childish behavior and was about to say something when the carriage suddenly stopped.
I almost hit the front partition due to inertia.
Fortunately, Gu Xiyan was quick to act and hugged her.
"What's going on?" Yao Jia asked with a frown.
Gu Xiyan let her go, lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out.
At some point, a ragged, dirty person, whose gender could not be identified, lay down in front of the carriage.
"But did you hit someone?" Gu Xiyan asked Gu Yi in a deep voice.
Gu Yi looked at him in embarrassment, "Sir, he rushed out all of a sudden, and I didn't have time to pull the reins."
Gu Xiyan frowned when he heard this. If it was really the carriage that hit someone, they would be in the wrong no matter what.
He lowered the curtain, turned around and said to Yao Jia, "Wait a moment in the carriage. I'll go down and take a look at the situation."
Gu Yi has already gotten out of the car to check the situation.
The man was lying on the ground, his hair was disheveled, his body was dirty and he smelled bad.
Some people gathered around to watch the fun, pointing and talking, but no one dared to step forward to help.
As Gu Yi approached, the man raised his face, uttered a few words weakly at him, and then fainted.
Just as Gu Xiyan squatted down, he heard Gu Yi lower his voice and say, "Sir, the person is still alive, but..."
Gu Yi glanced at the people around him, then leaned over to whisper in Gu Xiyan's ear.
Gu Xiyan's deep eyes immediately widened, "Are you sure?"
Gu nodded, "Although I didn't hear it clearly, the delicious type must be correct."
Gu Xiyan immediately walked towards the carriage.
Yao Jia saw him coming back with a frown on his face, so he quickly stuck his head out and asked, "What's wrong? Are you seriously injured?"
Gu Xiyan nodded, "The injury is indeed serious, but it was not caused by the carriage."
Yao Jia was puzzled, took a look at the person on the ground, and said, "Since we didn't hit him, why are you worried? If you feel bad, find a clinic and give him some money to have him checked out. If you are worried that he will blackmail you, hand him over to the government..."
"Don't worry about that." Gu Xiyan interrupted her and whispered in her ear: "It was a woman, and she fainted after saying only a few words."
As he said this, he took her hand and wrote four words on her palm.
"King Ping's treason"
Yao Jia's heart skipped a beat and she stared at Gu Xiyan for a moment, asking him to arrange for someone to send the woman on the ground to the Hall of All Beings for treatment.
After returning home, Gu Xiyan followed Yao Jia all the way to her courtyard.
"Have you known about Prince Ping's treason for a long time?"
When I told her about this, she acted too calm.
"Yes." Yao Jia felt that there was no need to hide it. Before long, the whole country would know about King Ping's treason.
"When did you know this?"
"Five months ago."
Gu Xiyan's eyes moved slightly, knowing very well that five months ago, Chen Ying committed suicide on the Panlong Pillar of the Yangxin Palace because he was exposed for colluding with the Liang State to launch this war.
"So the real instigator is King Ping?"
Yao Jia nodded. "Although I have evidence, it is not enough to bring him down. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we must wait for the right opportunity."
"opportunity?"
Gu Xiyan seemed to have thought of something, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly pulled her in front of him and put his arms around her slender waist.
"Why are you touching me again?"
Yao Jia put her hands on his chest and asked him to let her go.
He held her in his arms with one hand, and stroked her red lips with the other hand, "You are really reckless. For the sake of opportunity, you are willing to sacrifice your looks on a woman."
After saying that, he lowered his head and held her lips, sucking and biting them wantonly.
Yao Jia was dizzy from his kiss. She knew that he was jealous of Xuanyuan Wenyuan, but he didn't care at that time. Why was he settling the score with her now? It was really despicable.
Gu Xiyan kissed her enough, let her go, held her cheeks with both hands, and let her look into his eyes.
"I didn't bother with you at the time, but now that you're married and I'm living in this mansion, maybe I'll let it slip when talking to my brothers and let them know that you're bisexual, and they'll inevitably attack you again."
He kissed her on the lips again, "Consider this kiss as keeping a secret for you. It's a good deal, isn't it?"
When Yao Jia heard this, she almost fainted and raised her hand to hit him.
Gu Xiyan was prepared and ran out quickly.
As soon as he arrived outside the yard, he met Bai Huahua who came to look for Yao Jia. He greeted him with a smile and walked towards his own yard.
Bai Huahua shrugged, lifted the thick curtain and walked into the room.
Just as he took one step forward, a teacup flew towards him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged it in time.
The cups and plates exploded at his feet with a "bang", startling him so much that he slapped his chest and screamed.
"Ah! Nangong Jiayao, you are trying to murder your husband!"
Yao Jia thought that Gu Xiyan had come back, so she picked up the teacup at hand and threw it towards the door. She never thought that he would come at this time.
She quickly stood up and walked towards him, "I didn't know it was you, whether you were hurt or not."
Bai Huahua snorted coldly at her. When she saw Gu Xiyan leaving just now, his mouth was red, and he must have just kissed her.
When others leave, they kiss each other; when he comes, he flies a cup.
He walked around the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and sat down on the couch.
Yao Jia knew that she had offended this difficult guy again, so she asked Qing Zhu to come in and put away the teacups.
She walked to the couch, put her hands on his shoulders and shook him, "Hua Hua, don't be angry. It's my fault. I didn't see clearly that it was you. I shouldn't have thrown things at you."
Bai Huahua shook off the hand on her shoulder, turned her back and didn't look at her, "What's your fault? It's my fault for not having eyes to break into your yard and disturb your good time with your newlywed husband."
There was a hint of grievance in his voice.
When Yao Jia got married, he was busy running around, and just when he could catch his breath, he had to prepare gifts for various places before the New Year. He finally found some time to come to her courtyard, and was almost hit by a teacup.
