I am a winner with Chinese poetry

The few people who had originally sworn confidence in Gu Tianqiao began to look at him with some doubt as they saw that he did not seem to be lying. Could it be that this guy was really a shameless villain and everyone had misjudged him? The leaders of the Li, Qi, and Wei families who had come here specifically to exchange for Pipa Xing all began to look at each other in surprise and doubt.

"I believe Brother Gu is definitely not that kind of person. When my aunt was seriously injured, he was unwilling to take shortcuts. Instead, he exchanged a poem that could protect the country for a mere snow spirit grass, just to save my aunt's life. I really can't imagine what could be more precious than this poem that could protect the country!"

Just when the situation was about to turn in favor of Gu Tianqiao, Wei Yu stepped forward without hesitation. From beginning to end, he never had the slightest trust in what the two men said, because he knew very well that Gu Yunzhou's character was noble, like the bright moon in the sky, which was beyond doubt.

"Yes, our Wei family can testify that Master Gu refused all other items and only exchanged a single piece of Snow Ling Grass for his mother's healing. I really can't imagine anything in your Gu family that could be more precious than a poem that protects the nation!"

At this moment, Wei Rao stepped forward without hesitation. She knew very well that although the elders of the clan had given Gu Yunzhou some additional gifts afterwards, from what she had learned, those so-called compensations were nothing more than common, easily accessible, low-level cultural treasures.

How could such an ordinary object be compared with that poem that possessed unique efficacy and was a national treasure? Therefore, Wei Rao made a prompt decision and resolutely made a guarantee in the name of the Wei family.

"This is the Fourth Young Master and Seventh Young Miss of the Wei family. It seems like this is really happening!"

"What? Someone actually exchanged a mere Snow Spirit Grass for a single piece of national poetry? Sir, do you still need this? I have two Snow Spirit Grasses at home for you to choose from!"

From the crowd, there were bursts of exclamations, and some people beat their chests and stamped their feet, shouting, "Such a waste of natural resources is beyond the reach of justice! Where is morality, where is justice! I only regret that I was not there to witness this scene. Woo woo woo... It really makes me heartbroken! Only if you, Master Gu, take up your brush and write another heart-shaking poem to protect the country, can you soothe my broken heart!"

Before the man finished speaking, another voice rang out, "The Wei family's luck is truly incredible. Just a single Snow Spirit Grass has yielded a poem that will be passed down through the ages and become a family heirloom. Why don't I have such good fortune?"

In an instant, all kinds of discussions filled the entire space, some were amazed, some were envious, some were regretful, and some were jealous... All kinds of emotions intertwined together, surging like a tide, making the already lively scene even more noisy and boisterous, and in turn suppressing the original voices of doubt.

Gu Tianqiao and Fang Huaiyuan exchanged a glance, both stunned and angry. They truly hadn't heard of this, and Gu Jin hadn't mentioned it much, merely brushing it off lightly. However, now that they thought about it, their earlier explanations were becoming increasingly difficult to justify.

You know, even a three-year-old child understands the immense value of a national poem! With something so precious, how could he covet the so-called treasures of your Gu family?

What's more, how could a family that has only emerged in recent decades possess something as rare as the national poem?

As expected, everyone's expressions changed again. They looked at Gu Tianqiao, then at Gu Yunzhou, as if they were trying to decide which of the two was telling the truth. At this point, no one dared to criticize Gu Yunzhou anymore.

"You're supposedly trying to catch a thief and seize stolen goods, yet you're so easily making up stories and wantonly trying to fabricate a crime against me? The Gu family is truly as arrogant and domineering as ever!"

Gu Yunzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, but his eyes were as cold as ice. He thought to himself that the Gu family had put some thought into this and even fabricated a crime for him.

You know, for those ordinary people, the Gu family has always killed them directly and mercilessly. Now to receive such special treatment is also a different kind of "honor"!

Gu Yunzhou stared at Gu Tianqiao coldly, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust. The contempt and disdain in his eyes instantly inflamed Gu Tianqiao.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart: What qualifications does this lowly and lowly fellow have to look down on me in such a condescending manner? He's just a lowly child of a cook!

Thinking of this, Gu Tianqiao clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and his lips were pressed into a straight line due to anger, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly due to extreme tension.

"The servants in the mansion witnessed everything with their own eyes. Could it be true? Since you are so stubborn and unrepentant, don't blame me for disregarding the ties of our clan! Sir Liang, the thief is standing right here. Please arrest him immediately and bring him back to the yamen for a rigorous interrogation. Make sure to restore justice to the Gu family!"

Gu Tianqiao gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the rage burning within him. A short, cold snort escaped his nose. He no longer argued with Gu Yunzhou, but abruptly turned around, clasped his hands together, and shouted loudly.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps was heard coming from far away, and then a middle-aged man in official uniform, with a solemn and majestic expression, walked in, leading several strong men dressed as yamen runners.

"Oh, isn't this our prefect? ​​I didn't expect that such a small theft case would require him to personally take care of it!" Someone in the crowd shouted in surprise.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is incredible! Look at the Gu family, they are so wealthy that they can invite the prefect to help with any little problem!" Another person couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, in my opinion, Gu Yunzhou is going to be in trouble this time! The Gu family has such a strong backer, how can he, an ordinary citizen with no power, fight against the Gu family!" Someone said gloatingly.

As the newcomer entered the room, the Qionghua Pavilion, which had been gradually quieting down, suddenly became noisy again. However, this time, the onlookers did not dare to raise their voices as before, instead whispering to each other in low voices.
