Chapter 175 Continue to corrupt money
Chu Mo sent out all the people serving him, but he said nothing, just stared at Dong Ping.
At first, Dong Ping was forced to calm down, but under this stare, Dong Ping's calmness that was barely squeezed out gradually could not be maintained. She knelt on the ground with a "thump", her whole body trembled as if it was sieve, and her little face was pale and there was no blood.
Seeing Dong Ping's appearance, Chu Mo knew that he had guessed correctly. He took a deep breath, his face as if water could drip out.
"Emperor... Emperor... I am not a talkative person, so I will never dare to tell this matter..."
Dong Ping's teeth trembled, as if she had just been fished out of ice water. She panickedly promised that because of fear, the words she said were intermittent.
Concubine Dong was really scared. Although she is a concubine now, no matter how high she is, it is just a decoration. It is as easy to die a woman in the harem as a cat. If the emperor really kills her, she will have no way to do anything.
Find the Queen Mother to make the decision?
Stop kidding!
Although she was brought into the palace by the Empress Dowager, she could barely be considered the Empress Dowager, but no matter how much she loves her, she would not do anything against the Emperor for her.
Chu Mo was silent for a moment. Such a quiet atmosphere made Dong Ping breathless. She was waiting for Chu Mo to speak, but she was afraid of Chu Mo's final judgment.
Finally, after such a deadly silence, Chu Mo spoke.
"I believe you once, but if I let me know that you speak more, I will never spare you!"
After saying that, Chu Mo stood up and took big steps out. It was not until Chu Mo went out that Dong Ping collapsed on the ground. She only felt that she had walked outside the gates of hell.
After she returned, she was dying. In the past, she still gave her a soup to show her face in front of Chu Mo, but now she is too lazy to bother with these things.
She even began to give up on herself and didn't even care about dressing up.
What kind of makeup should be used to combed your hair? It’s useless to comb your hair out! The emperor likes men, but it’s not good for women at all. Even if he dresses up as a fairy, he will also look at the blind man with a glimpse of his eyes.
Concubine Dong even felt that everything was meaningless. If the emperor fell in love with other concubines, she would still have the fighting spirit to compete for favor.
But now how can she compete for favor? Unless she returns to the furnace and recreates into a man, no matter how hard she tries, it will be useless.
Will you hate it?
Neither will!
If a stupid person is, he may want to kill Gu Jin and then find a chance to get to the top.
But Dong Ping was a smart woman. She knew that the key to this matter was not Gu Jin, but the emperor.
If the emperor likes himself, Gu Jin will like it the same way.
Similarly, if the emperor doesn't like him, it will be useless if Gu Jin dies.
Even if Gu Jin dies, the emperor can find another young talent to be his sweetheart. You should know that the talent show and the imperial examination are once every three years. If the emperor is determined, he can completely treat the imperial examination as an excellence show.
Concubine Dong gave up on herself. That night she asked the imperial kitchen to send her a sauce elbow. In the past, she didn't even dare to get too much meat in order to maintain her figure. Now she has completely let herself go, and she doesn't even have to fight for her to favor. She can't eat meat anymore?
On this side, Concubine Dong was gnawing her elbow, while on the other side, Su Bancheng vomited blood after learning that Su Fang was abducted by the Japanese pirates.
He naturally knew what would happen if he was kidnapped by the Japanese pirates. It was because he knew that he felt extremely heartbroken. He would rather hear the news of his son's death than hear such news.
Not long after Su Bancheng vomited blood, Gu Jin came to the Su Mansion under the name of visiting the disease. Feng Hai followed Gu Jin. His purpose was to see how Gu Jin extorted money.
Su Bancheng was lying on the hospital bed and glared at Gu Jin. Gu Jin seemed to have not seen the hatred in the other party's eyes. He sincerely instructed Su Bancheng to recuperate well, and also guaranteed Su Bancheng that the government would do his best to rescue Su Fang, and would definitely not ignore the kidnapping incident.
If Gu Jin only said this, it would be just a routine visit to the hospital. But then Gu Jin changed the subject and she started asking for money in the name of rescuing Su Fang.
"100,000 taels?" Su Bancheng was lying on the bed half-dead. After hearing Gu Jin's words, Su Bancheng sat up like a corpse on the bed.
"Mr. Gu is really a big tone. He needs 100,000 taels of silver when he opens his mouth. Is he trying to take the opportunity to blackmail?" Su Bancheng said with a trembling body and glaring at Gu Jin.
Gu Jin has taken a lot of money from the Su family these days, but now he is opening his mouth wide. Su Bancheng can't bear it anymore.
"Don't say it's so ugly! How can this be called blackmail? The government has given the best efforts to rescue the young master. Isn't your mansion willing to give some rewards to the soldiers?" Gu Jin was not angry, but said with confidence.
"I haven't heard of any reward that costs 100,000 taels of silver!" Su Bancheng gritted his teeth.
Gu Jin's expression was still very leisurely, and he still had a faint smile on his face.
"I just said something casually. If I don't want it, then forget it, I won't force it."
Gu Jin paused when he said this, and the smile on his face became stronger. Feng Kui looked at Gu Jin's smile and felt a little furrowed on his back. Every time Gu Jin showed this kind of smile, it means he was going to be suffocated.
"Since the mansion is not in a hurry to save the eldest son, then I will first try the case of the bandits. I arrested several people, and some people confessed that this matter was related to the Su family, and I also found some things. I wonder if Juren Su would go to the court to take a look?"
Although Gu Jin's words were threatening, his tone was still very kind.
Su Bancheng's face froze, his mouth twitched a few times before barely squeezing a little.
Compared to his son's abduct, Su Bancheng was more worried that the incident of bandits was found out by Gu Jin.
Although he arranged the matter carefully this time and the people who were doing the business did not know that the matter was related to the Su family, and there would be no evidence, Su Bancheng was still uneasy.
"I'm afraid someone wants to frame me, so I hope Lord Gu will take a closer look!" Su Bancheng said hurriedly.
Gu Jin didn't say anything, but just brushed off his official robe, with a smile on his face.
Su Bancheng felt even more assured when he saw that smile.
Gu Jin is indeed very evil. He has suffered losses from the other party many times, so when he saw Gu Jin's smile, he felt very angry. He didn't know what evidence Gu Jin had. He wanted to refuse to give the money, but he didn't dare to gamble.
Su Bancheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"My lord has also been bothering to rescue my rioter. I am grateful in my heart. It is also necessary to give some rewards to the soldiers in the army! This 100,000 taels of silver... I'll pay."
