Chapter 140
Seeing Gu Kaiqi, Gu Yunji's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed happily: "Fourth Uncle!"

As soon as Gu Mingan said that Ruyi had disappeared, Gu Yunji felt that something bad was going to happen today, so he sent someone early to invite Gu Kaiqi to come over.

The reason why he spends so much talking with them is to delay the time. Now that Gu Kaiqi finally arrived in time before the search, with him, a senior member of the Gu family, Gu Mingan naturally did not dare to act recklessly, and Gu Yunji's heart finally settled down. a little.

"En." Gu Kaiqi nodded slightly at him, his gaze swept across the crowd calmly, and finally stopped on Gu Mingan, "What's going on? I heard you lost something, what did you lose?"

Gu Mingan's eyes were a little dodgy, and he avoided answering this, and said with a sneer: "Why are you here, fourth uncle?"

"If I don't come, you will be turned upside down!" Gu Kaiqi's tone was heavy, and he stabbed Gu Ming'an with cold eyes, "I didn't study hard in school, but encouraged my classmates to search Cheng Yan's house, Gu Mingan, what you up to?"

Gu Ming'an's expression froze, and he lacked confidence in his speech. He justified in a low voice: "Of course you have to find things if you lose them, and Cheng Yan is the most suspicious, so it's understandable to search his house..."

"Gu Ming'an! Young Master Cheng is a guest, how can you easily suspect him without any evidence, and even go to search other people's houses? Behaving so mean and rude, is it the way my family treats guests? It's ridiculous !"

Gu Kaiqi would be furious now, he really didn't expect Gu Mingan to be so willful and act recklessly, completely regardless of the consequences.If Gu Yunji hadn't told him today, wouldn't Gu Mingan really want to bring this large group of people to search Cheng Yan's house without the elders knowing?
Using the power of the family to oppress the humble scholars at will, falsely accusing him of stealing and damaging his reputation, if this matter gets out, what will others think of them Songjiang Gu family?Do you want to lose face of the Gu family?

What's more, Gu Kaiqi only agreed to Gu Yunji last night, and would try his best to persuade Gu Zhengde to recruit Cheng Yan, but before he had time to say it today, Gu Mingan revealed this incident first, how would he face Cheng Yan in the future?How could he open his mouth to bring up this matter with Gu Zhengde?
Thinking of this, Gu Kaiqi became even more angry, and his voice became fiercer: "What did I tell you before? The township exam is coming soon, you have to gather your thoughts and study hard. But you took all my words as deaf ears and didn't listen to them at all. Go in, it seems that I was too arrogant and indulged you in the past, and used you to be lawless!"

"I will tell your father exactly what happened today, and when he comes back, you can accept the punishment obediently!"

Gu Ming'an thought that Gu Kaiqi would not stand on his side, but he never expected that the other party's heart would be so biased. He didn't say a few words when he came, and he didn't know what happened, so he scolded him severely. After one pass, he doesn't even care whether Cheng Yan really stole something, and he has the stance of suppressing the matter no matter what.

At this moment, I heard Gu Kaiqi say that he would sue Gu Kaili and ask him to teach him a lesson. Gu Mingan was extremely wronged, and the little guilt just now turned into full of resentment, and he said unwillingly: "How can fourth uncle be so indiscriminate?" Indiscriminate!"

"Obviously I was the one who lost something, but fourth uncle, you didn't even ask a question, so you easily decided that I was wrong. I wronged Cheng Yan inside and out. I just wanted to get back the stolen things. Could it be Is there something wrong with that too!"

Seeing that Gu Mingan still didn't know what was wrong, Gu Kaiqi smiled angrily for a moment: "Then tell me, what did you lose? Tell me, and I'll help you find it, you don't need to search it yourself!"

"I..." Gu Mingan choked for a moment, feeling the gazes of everyone around him, the hesitation in his eyes was obvious, his lips twitched for a long time, and finally hesitantly fell silent.

Seeing this, Gu Kaiqi knew in his heart that what he had lost was not important, but he was just taking advantage of the opportunity to make things difficult for Cheng Yan, so he snorted coldly: "Look at you, it's not something important if you think about it, just throw it away if you lose it. Just buy a new one, is it worth your time to search?"

Gu Huaishao on the side couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help interjecting: "No, Uncle Si, Cousin Ming An lost Ruyi..."

"Shut up!" Gu Mingan turned his head suddenly when he heard the words, and stopped Gu Huaishao with a loud voice, which made the other party shut his mouth quickly.

"Ruyi? What Ruyi?" Gu Kaiqi keenly caught the word, and narrowed his eyes, "Gu Mingan, what did you miss?"

"I..." Gu Mingan's eyes wandered, he lowered his head and looked away from Gu Kaiqi, looked around as if he was worried about something, and leaned forward to lower his voice, "There are many people here, Fourth Uncle, let's talk in another place." Saying, Then he took Gu Kaiqi and left the school.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji was full of doubts, and he and Cheng Yan hurriedly followed.

Coming to a secluded place where no one was around, Gu Mingan was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Gu Yunji and the two behind him, so he hesitated again, pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

Gu Kaiqi's patience was about to run out, he frowned and reprimanded: "If you want to say it, say it, if you don't say it, go back to class, I'll pretend nothing happened today!"

"I'll say it! I'll say it!" Gu Ming'an hurriedly responded, faltering and saying, "What's lost is... yes, agarwood inlaid with jade Ruyi..."

"Agarwood inlaid with jade Ruyi?" Gu Kaiqi was taken aback, a little unresponsive, "You mean the one in your elder brother's room?"

Anticipating the coming storm, Gu Mingan lowered his head timidly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Mmm..."

"Gu Ming'an!"

Gu Kaiqi's eyes were horrified, a surge of energy and blood surged from his chest and rushed straight to his forehead, his calm expression collapsed in an instant, and the fear on his face immediately turned into anger: "That's after your eldest brother was admitted to the imperial examination, the late emperor personally The rewarded treasure is a royal gift! How dare you!"

Royal gift?Hearing this, the expressions of Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan changed simultaneously.

No wonder this Ruyi's workmanship is so exquisite, no wonder Gu Mingan is hesitating today, it turns out that this is not his property at all, let alone a birthday gift from Gu Zhengde, but something he stole from Gu Mingxuan's room to show off without telling everyone in the Gu family Royal gift treasure.

Since Gu Mingxuan received the wishful handle bestowed by the late emperor, he took it back to his home and stored it carefully. He almost never showed it to others. Many of the Gu family's children didn't know about it.So when Gu Huaishao saw Ruyi for the first time, he was easily fooled by Gu Mingan, thinking it was really his own.

Gu Mingan flinched from being yelled at by Gu Kaiqi, and defended in a low voice: "I just wanted to take it out for fun, but I didn't expect to lose it..."

The things bestowed by the emperor are both honor and trouble for the courtiers. Not only can they not be bought and sold, but they must be kept at home for worship, and there must be no defects at all. Withhold it, no one can bear it.

Now that the Gu family has improperly kept it and lost the Ruyi bestowed by the late emperor, if this matter is spread, the entire Gu family in Songjiang will be implicated, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Gu Kaiqi was originally a sick and weak body who was not very strong, he got angry early in the morning, and now he was shocked to hear that the imperial gift was lost, his liver and gallbladder trembled for a while, the blood on his face faded quickly, and his whole body was shaking Shake, it seems that I can't stand anymore.
