Chapter 379 Deterrence
If it was a small quarrel, Gu Yuan would turn a blind eye. No matter how cautious he was at certain times, he would not interfere with other people's opinions.
But if the commotion reached the level of slander, he would naturally not be able to sit idly by and ignore it.
Immediately, he smashed the teacup in his hand directly on the ground. The sound was not loud, but it squeezed everyone's hearts tightly.
Then a sneer sounded: "I see that you guys really don't even have the shame to express your jealousy in such a high-sounding way.
Yun Ran was personally recruited by Xie Ju, but you keep saying that she is crooked. I think you might as well just propose that Xie Ju be dismissed! ”
Gu Yuan was not someone who would easily use his power to oppress others, but if he really made him angry, no one would be able to reap the benefits.
Xie Xuzhi, as a son of an aristocratic family who has no knowledge of occult methods, has secured his position as the second-in-command of the Special Administration Bureau. Can he be easily dismissed?
Usually they make noises and even secretly oppose Xie Xuzhi. As long as they don't pass the line, no one will care about it.
But if they were to challenge Xie Xuzhi in a clear-cut manner, no one would dare.
At this moment, I heard that Gu Yuan actually brought the conflict to Xie Xuzhi, and even said something about deposing Xie Xuzhi.
The person who was very excited before suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and his whole body felt chilly.
Even those Xuanmen aristocratic families who had little dealings with Xie Xuzhi had to be polite on their faces, and those who made noises were nothing.
After a while, the people who were surrounding him were all quickly several meters away from him, turning his location into a hollow area.
This behavior is clearly out of fear of being implicated by him.
At this time, he also knew that what he just said was too exciting, and someone was caught on the spot.
A chill from the bottom of his heart suddenly swept through his body, giving him endless fear.
Fear spread throughout his body, and the man immediately closed his eyes and fell straight up. This was a sudden shock that made him faint.
Gu Yuan:......
Everyone:...
Good guy, when you were so high just now, why didn't you think about the consequences? Now it's better that you fainted and left the mess to them!
Someone looked at Gu Yuan with vague eyes. They were familiar with Gu Yuan, but they had never seen Gu Yuan be so angry.
As people in this circle, they know very well that they can talk about some things casually, and even often jump around in front of Gu Yuan or Xie Xuzhi.
But there are some things and some words that cannot be said even if you hate them so much in your heart. If you say them, you have crossed the bottom line.
The representatives around Gu Yuan who had not looked down upon Gu Yuan in the first place also looked stiff at this moment, especially when they saw the half-smiling look on Gu Yuan's face.
The representatives could only force out a few flattering smiles: "Gu Chu, you see, we can't ruin our competition just because of a rotten fruit..."
However, in their hearts, they had already scolded the person who had made such arrogant remarks: He had the ability to cause trouble, but he was forced to keep a low profile here.
Gu Yuan looked at these people coldly. If they lowered their heads in a normal matter, he would probably just get off the donkey and stop as soon as he saw the opportunity.
After following the boss for so long, he knew very well what methods should be used to intimidate the people below.
But since he had brought the boss out, he couldn't just let it go. Otherwise, if he brought the boss out again in the future, there would be no deterrent effect.
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Today, as soon as your lips touch each other, Yunran will become an evil cultivator and an evil sect. If you just handle it lightly.
In the future, you may be able to say even more outrageous things. Who makes the price too small? "When the representatives heard this, the expressions on their faces became even worse. They clearly refused to give up.
But in their hearts they recognized the meaning of Gu Yuan's words. If you can say whatever you want without paying the price, then anyone can talk nonsense from now on.
"Yes, yes, then Gu Chu, what kind of punishment do you think should be given?"
Gu Yuan glanced coldly at the person who fainted from fright, but when he spoke, he directly brushed himself off.
"I'm not the one being slandered. I'm just reminding everyone according to the rules. As for the punishment, let's wait for the parties involved and Xie Ju to decide!"
If he punishes that person today, it means letting that person go.
But if it is delayed, waiting for Yun Ran, the victim, and Xie Xuzhi, whose reputation has been implicated, to come to punish him, it means that this person will never be able to get ahead in Xuanmen in the future.
Many people couldn't help but gasp after understanding the meaning behind these words.
Because of one sentence, his own future was ruined, and his family had to suffer invisible ostracism. The price was too high.
But the deterrent effect has really worked. At least, many people are now secretly warning those in the family who are not good enough in brains and words.
Anyone who dares to talk loudly and cause trouble will be subject to the strictest clan rules.
Long Ling was watching Gu Yuan's work with cold eyes, and was quite satisfied.
If Gu Yuan had dared to handle it lightly just now, he would have gone crazy.
It's one thing that he hates Yun Ran, but if he were to take it seriously and pull someone like this who is fine with Yun Ran, it would be a slap in his face!
Yunran, who was eating dry food, had no idea that she just asked the little paper man to come out and dry her hair, which triggered such a series of things.
The three aristocratic family members were staring at each other while eating their rations. Those who didn't know it looked like they were about to choke to death.
"This dry food is really unpalatable."
Yun Ran nodded in rare agreement. Among the five members of the team, except for Xin Fu, they all grew up in fine clothes and fine food.
Although Yunran can endure hardships, her body belongs to the original owner after all, and her body's instinct to eat and drink is really hard to swallow this dry food.
Xin Fu has no requirements for food and drink, as long as he can fill his stomach.
However, seeing that Yunran and the others were obviously having a hard time eating, he did not rush to persuade them to make do with it or anything like that.
"Let me catch some fish. Many fish in the sea can be made into sashimi. You can also change the taste."
When the other three heard this, they quickly shook their heads: "No, no, no, we can bear it!"
In fact, it was not that they could bear it, but that their bodies were tied up with gauze belts by Yun Ran. If Xin Fu went to catch fish, they would have no choice but to follow him into the sea.
There was nothing we could do if we were forced to swim here before. Their physical strength is quite good, but they are also carbon-based creatures, so they will be tired.
For the sake of a little appetite, if you have to do it again, forget it.
