Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

Minister Gu was very happy when he saw Lord Liu and Prefect Song. These two were now trusted by the Emperor. He did not expect that they would come to celebrate his birthday today.

"Master Liu, Master Song, please sit down first."

When Lord Liu heard what Minister Gu said, he glanced at Prefect Song and said with a smile.

"It's okay, we'll chat with you, Master Gu."

Minister Gu felt something was wrong. Lord Liu and Prefect Song were usually quiet people. Why did they say they wanted to chat with him today? Could it be because of his son-in-law, the Prince of Qin?

Prefect Song seemed to have some dealings with Qin Chen, but Lord Liu was the most serious, and something was not right.

The more Minister Gu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He looked around and found that Lord Liu and Prefect Song had brought a lot of people with them and were all outside the crowd.

People from the Dali Temple and the prefectural government came to his banquet.

He lowered his voice and spoke to Lord Liu and Prefect Song.

"My Lords, has anything happened today? If there is anything, please let the banquet end before taking any action..."

After hearing what Minister Gu said, Lord Liu spoke.

"Don't worry, Master Gu. We will just find a few people to take back for questioning."

"I won't ruin your birthday party, Master Gu."

what?

Take people back for questioning?

During his birthday party, they came to take people back for questioning. Isn't this considered not ruining his birthday party? Did they come here on purpose to cause trouble?

Although he was extremely angry, Minister Gu still suppressed his anger and spoke with a smile on his face.

"I don't know who they are. I'll send someone to find them. We can go to another yard so that we don't have to worry about them getting away..."

If Lord Liu and Lord Song really arrested people at his banquet today, he would not only lose face today, but also lose all his dignity. He would become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

Therefore, he couldn't let them arrest people on a large scale, otherwise he would be ruined. He would never be promoted to the Minister of Revenue.

When Lord Liu heard what Minister Gu said, he shook his head.

"Master Gu, Master Song and I have been ordered to arrest them. If we do as you said, someone will definitely escape, so we will just arrest them directly later. This is the best way..."

What do you mean by order to arrest? Who gave the order? At a time like this, who gave the order to arrest?

What is the arrest for?

Who on earth did he offend? Why was he treated like this?

Minister Gu thought of many enemies in an instant, but those people were not high-ranking officials, and they would not use such means to deal with him.

"Sir Gu, as an official, I advise you to listen to us, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Prefect Song reminded Minister Gu.

Upon hearing Prefect Song's reminder, Minister Gu's face turned red, then white, and then white and then blue. What did Lord Song mean by this?

At your own peril?

Minister Gu thought of a possibility and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

No, it's impossible! How could this be possible? He just held a small banquet and didn't invite the cabinet officials to come, let alone form cliques. The emperor must have misunderstood.

What happened today must be a coincidence. How could the emperor come to deal with him? Maybe it was because of the usury investigation that these people angered the emperor, so this happened.

Thinking of this, Minister Gu looked at Lord Liu and Lord Song again and said.

"My Lords, please give me some convenience..."

He wanted to struggle a bit more, not wanting to let the birthday party be ruined.
