He Gui looked embarrassed.

When Gu Yue saw that no one went in to report, he knew this would be the result.

He cleared his throat and stood outside the door.

"Gu Dashi from the Duke of Dunxin's residence has come with gifts to pay a visit to Master Xie Yun of the Xie family!"

Gu Yue shouted loudly with a voice as loud as a bell.

Behind him, Wu Feng and Wu Ye also shouted in unison: "Gu Dashi from the Duke of Dun Xin's mansion has come with gifts to pay a visit to Master Xie Yun of the Xie family!"

Shi San practiced several times in the car, but he was always stumbling and couldn't speak clearly. So the only one who was shouting was Wu Feng, who mixed some internal strength into his voice, and his shout was really earth-shaking.

The servants in front of Xie's house looked shocked.

Gu Yue didn't stop and shouted for the second time, and Wu Feng and Wu Ye also shouted again.

Wu Ye's face and ears were red, but fortunately they were hidden under the disguise and could not be seen clearly, so only his two red ears were exposed.

Wu Feng shouted with great joy, his voice getting louder and louder.

The Xie family was not a royal family, nor an official. Their house was near the market where common people lived. With this shout, people gathered around them, and soon a large circle of people formed.

Gu Yue felt aggrieved. He had heard people explaining what "Gu Dashi" had done to occupy the shop, and some people had already started cursing.

It doesn’t matter, it’s Gu Dashi who is being scolded anyway!

Soul traveling sometimes has its benefits.

"Recently, rumors have spread throughout Luoyang City, slandering that the people who smashed the Xie family's shop that day were the servants of Lord Dunxin. This is so absurd, Lord Dunxin's mansion will investigate it to the end!"

Wu Feng said loudly.

The people cursed even louder.

The person arranged by Zhen Suhang in the crowd shouted, "I have long seen that it was not the work of Lord Dun Xin. How could you not see that?!"

The people were silent for a moment and soon found the man.

The man was stared at by everyone, but he was not afraid. Instead, he sneered: "I thought you all lived in the capital and would be a little smarter, but it turns out that you just follow the crowd! There is no difference between you and the country folk!"

Someone immediately scolded him: "You are the only one who knows the most! Then tell me, what's wrong with this?"

"What happened?" Some people didn't know what happened.

"Stupid!" the man sneered, "Gu Dashi was still a commoner when he was awarded. How could he have such a team of well-trained servants? The people he has now were all given to him by the emperor. Don't you know that?"

"So what? They are his men, and he can order them around!"

"How could the emperor's men do such a thing? Shouldn't they dissuade them? Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he will certainly not make such a mistake." Someone in the crowd said.

When it comes to the emperor, few people dare to speak.

"If Lord Dunxin is really a bully, why is he visiting the Xie family now?" someone asked in a low voice.

The man who spoke first said, "Humph, I don't know why, but I can see that someone is using this incident to make trouble for Lord Dun Xin! However, the political situation in the court is difficult to understand, so it's normal that you can't understand it."

"Are you saying that someone wants to deliberately discredit Lord Dun Xin?" Someone who claimed to see things clearly immediately asked.

The focus quickly shifted to the discussion of the current situation. The Mu You incident had just passed, and the beheading at Caishikou had only been a few days.

Seeing that Xie Zhai did not respond, Gu Yue continued to shout.

After shouting about five or six times, a servant came out and whispered something to the servant in front of the door.

The servant nodded, turned around and walked down the steps, and came to Gu Yue: "Uncle Gu, please forgive me! My master just came back from seeking medical treatment."

"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Yue waved his hand generously.

This means that Mr. Xie is willing to meet them.

Soon, Mr. Xie Yun and his wife came out from the door.

The middle-aged couple was dressed in luxurious clothes, but they looked haggard and had dark eyes. When they saw Gu Yue, they had to put on a smile and kneel down to greet him. Gu Yue immediately stepped forward and held onto Mr. Xie's arm, refusing to let him kneel down.

"Thank you, Master, please don't be so polite. After all, I am the one who implicated you in this matter." Gu Yue smiled, "Is it convenient for Fang to come to your house to talk?"

"Of course...Mr. Gu, please." Xie Yun couldn't laugh.

He didn't know whether this unexpected disaster was imposed on them by Gu Dashi in front of him, but he had been in business for many years and it was inevitable for him to deal with people in official circles. Besides, this matter was inexplicable. In any case, since Gu Dashi was forcing him in front of the door like this, he should listen to what this man said.

The group sat down in the main hall. Young Master Xie was not there, but they were all treated politely and without any unfair treatment.

Gu Yue naturally didn't care about these. He clasped his fists and said, "Master Xie, what I am about to say is of great importance. Whether you believe it or not, please ask everyone around to leave."

Xie Yun looked at him for a moment, nodded and waved.

All the servants in the main hall retreated, leaving only Mr. Xie and his wife, and their trusted aides.

Gu Yue first took out the letter with five thousand taels and placed it on the table.

"This is an apology. I heard that the royal family exchanged a shop for the Xie family, but it is far inferior to the one on Dongyang Street. I asked someone to estimate the price, and the difference was more than four thousand taels after conversion. The rest is my apology." Gu Yue said.

Xie Yun glanced at the letter on the table without any emotion.

"Those servants are definitely not my staff." Gu Yue said, "Although I am a businessman in name only, I am actually just selling food in a small town in Luonan Road. I only have four people, He Gui and Shi San beside me, and two others."

"These four people arrived in Luoyang a few days ago. Before that, they had been packing up in the town, preparing to come to the capital. Before and after the reward, I stayed at a friend's house and had no help."

Xie Yun said: "There is no need for all the explanations. Just tell me why those people wanted to hurt my son."

"I'm afraid it's to ruin my reputation." Gu Yue said.

"Oh? What are the benefits of doing this?" Xie Yun said.

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment: "This matter...knowing too much may not be good for your Xie family. I can only say that it is related to the emperor and the Su family."

Xie Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"Your Majesty is wise, and my Xie family will naturally know it," he said.

"I'm new here, and I don't know how many streets there are in Luoyang. It's even harder for me to find out where the best shops are and who owns them in just a few days." Gu Yue said earnestly, "Master Xie, you must know that there's something fishy going on, so you let me in."

Xie Yun sighed.

"I have some guesses about this matter, but if His Majesty really has that intention, it will not be good for our Xie family..."

"It's okay. The Xie family doesn't have to get involved. As long as the knot between us is resolved, it will be enough." Gu Yue said, "But it was because of my matter that caused the young master to suffer an unexpected disaster. This time I brought a doctor to see if I can solve the problem of the young master."

"No need. I have already consulted all the famous doctors in Luoyang, but they are all helpless." Xie Yun said, "I understand what Uncle means. As long as the Xie family is not implicated, I will burn incense and pray to Buddha. I don't expect anything else."

"Of course I know Mr. Xie's ability. What kind of doctor can't be invited to your house? But this person is really extraordinary, otherwise I wouldn't have brought him here." Gu Yue said, "Why not let him take a look?"

Xie Yun thought of his son who was gloomy in bed every day and closed his eyes.

You might as well give it a try.
