"A fox spirit and a dragon-headed lion created havoc in Jade Dragon Lake? Not only did they bathe in the lake, they even beat you up? "
Gu Linuan had just returned from the palace and the Daoist who was guarding Jade Dragon Lake came forward to complain. Gu Linuan's heart couldn't help trembling as he cried out, "The king of the red dragon carps was also captured by that dragon-headed lion? Whose fox spirit and dragon lion are so daring? I've only been in office for a month and such a thing has happened. Who's the one making things difficult for me? "
Before he could digest this news, another person came forward to report, "Grand Chancellor, the fox spirit reared by Imperial Academician Qin Mu of Scholar's Residence had chopped down the Ambition for Advancement tree and used it to roast fish. That fish seems to be the king of the fish in Jade Dragon Lake and was roasted to be eaten! Imperial Academician Qin Mu and Imperial Scholar Wei Yong are now cleaning up the fish bones and trying to destroy the evidence. "
Gu Linuan couldn't help being surprised and delighted as he smiled, "This brat, I was just worried that I didn't have any methods to deal with him. Now he has delivered himself to me. This matter is enough for him to be beheaded a hundred times. Now that idiot Ba Shan should have nothing to say, right? "
He was in high spirits and immediately stood up, "Let's go, follow me to arrest him immediately! I want both physical evidence and eyewitnesses and escort him to the Supreme Court. Let the officials of the Supreme Court interrogate him and his entire family will definitely be executed! Send another memorial to the palace to report this matter! "
"That scholar called Wei Yong …"
"Arrest him too and interrogate him together!"
Gu Linuan smiled, "I was still wondering who was the one making things difficult for me. From the looks of it, this pair of shoes isn't small and fits my feet perfectly."
Gu Linuan and the rest barged into Scholar's Residence only to see that Qin Mu wasn't in the courtyard. There was only a fox and a sleeping Dragon Unicorn. Gu Linuan woke up this Dragon Unicorn and asked, "Where did that brat with the surname Qin go?"
The Dragon Unicorn raised its head and took a glance at them before replying slowly, "He was still here just now. Someone from the palace came and invited him over."
"Could it be that the emperor already knew about this matter and dragged him into the palace to be executed?"
Gu Linuan chuckled, "This brat still has my Junior Protector Sword on him so executing him is too easy. What are you guys in a daze for? Capture Fox and Dragon Unicorn! I'll go into the palace to see the Emperor and see how this brat dies with my own eyes. "Finished speaking, he hurriedly left.
The few chancellors who had followed him and the Daoist who was guarding Jade Dragon Lake immediately executed a chain to lock up the Dragon Unicorn. Hu Ling'er wanted to run but was also caught.
Gu Linuan rushed to the palace and requested an audience with the Emperor. After a while, a guard reported, "His Majesty is in the Imperial Garden and invites Lord Gu over."
Gu Linuan was shocked, "Beheading Qin in the Imperial Garden? His Majesty must be really angry. "
He came to the imperial garden and heard laughter. Bewildered, Gu Linuan walked forward and saw Emperor Yanfeng supporting Empress Dowager with a few officials behind them. Qin Mu was behind Empress Dowager and said something which made Empress Dowager laugh.
Emperor Yanfeng took a glance at him and waved his hand, calling him forward. He then asked warmly, "What's the matter?"
Gu Linuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Academician Qin allowed a Dragon Unicorn to jump into Jade Dragon Lake and catch the fish king, eating it. Jade Dragon Lake is the drinking water of the imperial family and Red Dragon Carp is the imperial food of the imperial family. Academician Qin is audacious and this is a capital offense. I don't dare to hide this and have come to report to Your Majesty. "
"There's actually such a thing?"
Emperor Yanfeng looked at Qin Mu who was beside him and asked, "What did Minister Qin say?"
"I'm an outsider and didn't know the rules of the capital city, therefore I was impetuous."
Qin Mu said, "I didn't know Jade Dragon Lake was the property of the imperial family and also didn't know the fish in the lake couldn't be eaten. I feel deeply guilty, may Your Majesty punish me."
"This is a capital offense."
Emperor Yanfeng took a glance at him and said, "Even though I admire you, the law is the law. How do you want me to punish you?"
Gu Linuan smiled apologetically, "Your Majesty, according to the law, the whole family should be executed …"
Empress Dowager smiled, "Emperor, I also think the little divine physician should be executed."
Emperor Yanfeng was slightly stunned and asked with a smile, "Why does mother say so?"
Empress Dowager walked forward calmly and said leisurely, "Of course he should be executed. If you don't execute the little divine physician, how will the world know the emperor values fish and not people? If you don't execute the imperial academician, how will the world know the emperor values water and not people? If you execute him, only then will the world know the emperor killed the divine physician who had cured me with a great reputation because of a mouthful of water and a fish. Only then will they know the emperor is a fatuous ruler. "
Emperor Yanfeng laughed loudly and waved his hand, "Lord Gu, why are you bothering me over such a small matter, you may leave."
Gu Linuan was stunned, "This …"
"Leave, leave."
Emperor Yanfeng waved his hand and said, "You didn't look after Jade Dragon Lake properly so I won't punish you. After all, you have just arrived at Imperial College. What you have done today is enough to give me a headache and you even fought with Chancellor Ba Shan, making me lose face. It would have been fine if you had won but you just had to be nowhere to be seen. Grand Chancellor couldn't defeat a chancellor and my face has been completely thrown away by you. Go back and reflect properly. "
"As the emperor commands."
Gu Linuan felt wronged and was about to leave when Qin Mu said, "Lord Gu, my family's fox and that Dragon Unicorn, please don't make things difficult for them."
Gu Linuan's heart leaped and he heard Empress Dowager smiling, "I don't think he dares to. That's right emperor, you still haven't rewarded the little divine physician for curing me. "
