Chapter 374: The more trouble it gets, the bigger it gets
The family was discussing this, and after deciding on it, something happened within a few days.
I heard that there was a robbery of people's finances in the small townships around Jinling.
I also heard that the house was looted.
But no one cared about the local Yamen passers-by.
I don't know how this thing spread, and it happened to be introduced to Jinling City.
Feng Ming came back immediately and told Gu Zi about it.
When Gu Zizhong heard this, his whole body trembled.
It is said that the Japanese are on the coast and cannot hit the interior.
Although the area around Jinling City is not far from the sea, it can be regarded as the mainland.
Why are you still calling here?
Public order in Jiangsu has always been very good, and even the Japanese did not dare to land on the coast of Jiangsu. This has just changed Lord Futai, and this kind of thing happened.
This Futai Lord must be very uncomfortable.
Gu Zizhong was curious: "How could such a thing happen?
Feng Ming shook his head: "I only heard this from others, and I don't know if it's true or not." It's just that this kind of thing is definitely not groundless, since there are rumors, there must be something true. ”
Gu Zizhong opened his fingers and calculated: "There is Yangzhou City further east of Jinling, and it is also very prosperous. But if it was really a Japanese robber, people would not fight Yangzhou, but would take a detour to Yangzhou, and then go to the interior to rob a small place that is not famous. It really doesn't make sense. ”
Feng Ming recalled, and suddenly said: "County Lord, I remember, everyone still rumors, those robbers are wearing our side of the robe, not the kimono of the widows." So I don't think it's the work of the Wakos. ”
Locals?
Gu Zizhong looked at Feng Ming again and asked, "Who did they rob?"
As long as there are big families around Jinling, the Gu family knows it.
But Feng Ming scratched his head and couldn't say anything after thinking about it for a long time.
"County Lord, I inquired with more than a dozen people, but no one knows who the family that was robbed is. ”
Feng Ming looked depressed.
That's weird.
Gu Zizhong muttered to himself: "Robbers don't rob big families, but rob an unknown ordinary person, this can't be justified." ”
If it were the usual petty theft, it wouldn't have caused a storm in the city.
This must be a big deal.
Gu Zi said calmly: "Is this matter under the care of Lord Judge?"
Feng Ming said: "There is no news yet, but I guess I should be able to take care of it, right? When the new officials take office, they have to establish their prestige." No matter how small it is, the judge will definitely take care of it. ”
Gu Zizhong was still muttering in his heart, but he didn't mention it again.
She let Feng Ming go down.
But within a few hours, the family spread the news.
First of all, my brother.
Gu Shizi was almost running in the corridor while talking to Li Nanyu about this matter.
Gu Zizhong, who was sullen in the room, heard it.
The elder brother who was far away kept shouting and came over.
Gu Zizhong thought that his brother was holding some family matter in his heart, so he went out and lay at the door and watched his brother come from a distance.
Gu Shizi and Li Nanyu also happened to be coming here.
When Gu Shizi saw his sister, he immediately said, "What are you doing at the door?"
Gu Zizhong still wanted to ask his brother.
Gu Shizi didn't wait for his sister to ask him, so he said directly: "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk, I have something to say to you." ”
Li Nanyu also looked flustered, and beads of sweat almost fell on her forehead.
Gu Zi looked at the two of them again, and thought in his heart, this can't be a big deal, right?
The three of them entered the door, and Gu Zizhong also instructed Feng Ming to pour tea for his brother and sister-in-law.
Gu Shizi stretched out his finger and put it to his mouth, and made a gesture "shh".
Gu Zizhong stopped talking.
Gu Shizi closed the door, and after coming in, he said: "I heard from my brother in the countryside that there was a robbery in the countryside, and the robbers robbed the family. Sister, you know this, right?"
Gu Zizhong affirmed: "I know, but this is all uploaded on the street, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Gu Shizi got serious, sat down next to his sister, deliberately got very close to her, leaned up to her ear, and said, "Really, the elder brother from the countryside came to tell me that this matter was done by the servant of Lord Buzheng Shi." ”
"What?"
Gu Zizhong was about to shout, frowning, "How is it possible?"
The big families in Jinling City, or the Futai Yamen or something, the servants are all bullying men and women, this sin is big enough.
Why do servants also go to rob money?
This has never happened before.
But this thing came out of my brother's mouth, and it must be true.
At least my brother won't joke with boring rumors.
Gu Zizhong became serious and said, "I heard my brother talking so much with Sister Li outside, I thought it was because the family had no money to buy rice!"
Gu Shizi blushed, and held back for a long time before saying, "Nonsense, can our family have no money to buy rice?"
Gu Zi was angry, and he was angry with his brother: "Who said last time that you had no money to buy rice and noodles, and you came to me to borrow twenty taels of silver?"
Li Nanyu stared at Gu Shizi, why did he still do this?
Gu Shizi muttered for a while, then diverted the topic and said, "That's all trivial." But today is a big deal. I didn't expect Lord Buzheng Shi to have this kind of family. ”
Looking at his brother's eyes, he blamed Gu Zizhong very much.
Gu Zizhong didn't want to say it, but her brother was angry with her just now, and she was angry, so she told the matter.
She ignored her brother, and then asked Li Nanyu: "Sister Li, where did you hear about it too?"
Li Nanyu nodded and said, "My relatives in the countryside around Jinling also passed on this matter. I just came back from my relatives and told the prince about it. But what I didn't expect was that the prince also knew about it, and the two of us knew exactly the same. ”
You can't go wrong with that.
But......
Gu Zizhong was puzzled: "No, it's so powerful outside, but it's just a little bit of a bad thing." As for what the truth is, I don't know. It's all legend. ”
Gu Shizi said: "We haven't passed it here yet, but the local people have already spread crazy." Lord Bu Zhengshi had just sent someone to kill the person who had robbed the things in public, which calmed the anger of the public. ”
Gu Zizhong felt funny: "The family members who are all in Jinling, how can they go all the way there to rob it?"
Gu Shizi thought for a while and said, "I also discussed it with my family, and I also talked to him." Therefore, everyone has discussed it, and we all feel that these family members are not ordinary servants, but soldiers under Lord Buzheng Shi. ”
Gu Zizhong and Li Nanyu stared at the prince of the world, and their interest came up.
