Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Gu Yue’s next destination was Boss Sun’s residence.

He had handed in his visiting card and gifts when he arrived at Yu Ning Mansion early in the morning, so he could just go there directly now.

Boss Sun is the second largest spice merchant in Yuning Prefecture, but he is still far behind Lord Han.

Even so, the Sun Mansion's residence is still located in the wealthy area in the southeast of the city, occupying a large area. Looking through the white walls, the eaves are stacked up and down, which must be quite scenic.

Still going through the side door, Gu Yue handed over the letter of recommendation given to him by the Marquis, and the servant went in to report.

The front door of a wealthy family would not be opened unless there were special circumstances. It would only be opened when the main wife was married, guests were entertained, the host was traveling, or an important person visited. Gu Yue was obviously not one of these four circumstances. He was an unknown entrepreneurial farmer.

This method is also used in the domestic fighting stories to humiliate the heroines. The main door is closed and they are forced to go through the side door to achieve the purpose of suppression. It clearly means: I look down on you.

The wait took a bit of time, but both father and son managed to remain calm and sat side by side on the stone block at the side door.

I dreamed of returning to Cheng Hou Mansion.

The mansions in the wealthy area are not particularly quiet. Small vendors are allowed to set up stalls here, but business is generally not good because there are not many things that can be served.

Therefore, the street was sparsely populated, with only a few people selling their bodies or working as laborers squatting in rows on the roadside with grass stuck in their hair.

The main door of the Sun Mansion suddenly opened, and two rows of servants stood respectfully by the door. After a while, a man who looked like a manager came out, followed by a group of people who were respectfully following him. The leader should be Boss Sun.

"Manager Li, take care, take care." Boss Sun smiled and nodded, but he did not look particularly fawning.

"Well, no need to see me off." The steward waved his hand and was about to turn around and get on the carriage that had already arrived.

Sitting on the stone pier, Gu Yue saw Manager Li's face clearly.

Oh my god! Isn't this the steward who came to pick up Lord Han last night?

Gu Yue quickly raised his sleeves to cover his face.

But it was too late. When he saw the steward's face clearly, the steward also saw him.

"Hey!" The manager came over with a Youzhou accent, rolling up his sleeves and saying, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Gu Yue wanted to turn around and run, but the blame for smashing someone's shop was still on him!

Gu Xu pulled at his shirt hem and whispered, "Dad, there's someone above you."

Above me? Gu Yue looked up at the sky.

The sky was overcast, with little sunshine and no one around.

It took Gu Yue a second to realize what it meant.

Okay, okay, let’s play with the “Wulin Wai Zhuan” plot, right?

While I was looking up, the steward had already strode over, secretly looking up as he walked.

What is this kid looking at?

Gu Yue's expression changed immediately, becoming gloomy. He stood up straight, crossed his arms, and looked at the manager coldly.

The momentum and style were so impressive that the manager even stopped for a moment.

The steward was at a disadvantage due to his weakness at this moment, and he was not as aggressive when he spoke again: "What are you doing here?"

"Just passing by. As Lord Han's lackey, do you want to care about where others go?" Gu Yue said in a cold tone.

"You, you..." The manager was shocked. No one dared to talk to him like that!

"Why, you come here so fast, what advice do you have? I'd like to hear it." Gu Yue had a cold face.

Gu Xu, wearing a straw hat, hid behind him in a low-key manner.

"...Did you take over Lord Han's shops?" the steward asked bravely.

"Haha, Lord Han knows exactly what he did." Gu Yue said coldly, "The current situation is probably due to a lot of resentment and retribution."

The manager pointed at him, angry and afraid, and stuttered: "You, you, you..."

Gu Yue raised his hand and slapped the manager's hand away. "Very good, you are the first person who dares to point at me. I will report everything I see truthfully. Get lost."

“Report?! You…you are…” The manager looked at him in surprise and doubt, covering the back of his hand.

Gu Yue smiled.

Boss Sun, who had watched the whole thing from behind, tried to smooth things over. He ignored Gu Yue and just advised Steward Li in a good tone, "Sir Steward, it looks like it's going to rain. You'd better get on the carriage quickly. It's not good to get wet."

The manager was just looking for a way out, so he snorted coldly. No matter how flustered he was, he still looked very calm: "Let's go!"

A group of people left.

Gu Yue looked at Gu Xu and asked, "How is my acting? Is it to your liking?"

The servant who had come out from the side door earlier and saw the whole process was stunned.

Boss Sun stood at the door and watched Manager Li leave until the shadow of the carriage was out of sight.

The servant who made the announcement came to Boss Sun, whispered something, and handed him Gu Yue's letter of introduction.

Boss Sun opened the letter and took a look, his expression softened. But he did not rush to talk to Gu Yue, but whispered something and went back to the mansion.

Gu Yue thought that maybe she was afraid of being associated with him in public?

Sure enough, after a while, less than half an incense stick of time, the servant came out from the side door and stealthily invited Gu Yue and his son in.

The layout of the mansion was not much different, but this time, unlike the first time I visited Cheng Hou Mansion, we did not talk in the side hall. Instead, I met Boss Sun directly in the main hall.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu took their seats.

"Are you the distant relative that Cheng Bochun mentioned?" Boss Sun was very alert: "I also saw what happened just now. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for Old Cheng?"

"..." Gu Yue was silent for a moment. He really didn't expect this.

He turned his head and glanced at Gu Xu, who nodded imperceptibly. Gu Yue felt relieved.

"No, please rest assured, Boss Sun." Gu Yue said with a smile.

"Do you really have some power behind you? You're not talking about the Chenghou Mansion, are you?" Boss Sun was really worried about his friend: "Do you know what the Chenghou Mansion is like? They are a marquis with no real power and no fiefdom. Don't expect them to solve any problems for you. They can't even protect themselves!"

As he spoke, Boss Sun's tone became stern.

"Of course not..." Gu Yue was ashamed, but it was indeed a misunderstanding. He was an ordinary citizen who came from a gangster family. His background must have been told to Boss Sun by Lord Cheng, so it was not surprising that he would think so.

Boss Sun snorted. "Did you destroy Lord Han's shop?"

Gu Yue smiled but said nothing. Is that right? He didn't know. The only thing that was certain was that Lord Han had no evidence to prove who did it, otherwise he would have been arrested long ago.

"If you really have that ability, I can trust you." Boss Sun stroked his beard.

"Haha, sorry to make you laugh, Boss Sun." Gu Yue was playing a guessing game. "I'm here to discuss business with Boss Sun."
