Chapter 173: Timing
Langhua glanced at Mother Jiang, Mother Jiang nodded and retreated with the people in the house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Langhua pulled Mrs. Gu Si to sit down, "Fourth aunt, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips before saying, "Just now the steward came back to report that your fourth uncle was detained by the government when he took our family's caravan to Shouzhou. ”
Although Old Lady Gu was prepared, her face still changed, "Why was she detained?" We are buying and selling medicinal herbs, and we have a customs clearance certificate from the government......"
Langhua clenched the handkerchief in his hand, suppressed the panic in his heart and remained calm, "What about the steward?" There are some things we have to ask carefully. ”
Mrs. Gu Si nodded, and hurriedly called the steward who was waiting outside.
The steward looked very embarrassed, his eyes were red, his lips were chapped, and he had come back from the night journey, his legs were overwhelmed, and he was still shivering.
Jiang's mother asked her to move the brocade and let the steward sit down, and the steward hurriedly said the whole thing, "Suddenly someone came, and I had to open the box and check it without saying a word, and the fourth master stepped forward to ask, those people brought official documents, and they were people from the Shouzhou official office, so it was not easy for us to stop them, and the result was ...... After a glance, they asked people to seal the box of medicinal herbs, and also arrested the old man and let me come back to report the news. ”
After speaking, the steward swallowed and foamed, "I thought that it might be which official master took office, and he lacked money in his hand, so he hurriedly scraped together money to make a point, but I didn't expect that not only would he not accept it, but he would also beat me with ten sticks to kill the stick, I have been following the fourth master for so many years, and I have never encountered such a situation." ”
The Gu family is in the medicinal herb business, unlike those grain merchants, salt merchants have oil and water that are easy to exploit, so every time they use some small silver, it will pass, but this time, it is obvious that they want people and not money, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately rushed back to report the news.
Lang Hua said: "When the fourth uncle was taken away, in addition to the kind of official officials you usually see, were there any people who were dressed more specially?" ”
Speaking of this, the steward's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, there is a man in black boots and black pants standing aside, although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he can see that those officials are looking at his face and doing things." ”
Lang Hua took a long breath.
It's the Imperial City Division, that's right.
Shen Changji deliberately let the manager report the news, if the Gu family did not satisfy the Imperial City Division, the fourth uncle would most likely not be able to come back.
Seeing this situation, the steward knew that the eldest lady had already thought about it, so he cautiously asked, "Who has our family offended?" There is definitely no problem with our medicinal herbs, they are all carefully selected by the fourth master and me......"
Lang Hua said: "The medicinal materials are in their hands, and it makes no sense to say these now." ”
The box of medicinal materials was opened, and some things were put inside and then sealed, it was easy for the government to do this kind of thing, this is the reason why the people do not fight with the officials, she understands.
She was already prepared for the day she met Shen Changji, she thought that Shen Changji would start from her pharmacy, but she didn't expect the fourth uncle to suffer first.
Mrs. Gu Si's face had changed.
Langhua ordered someone to take the steward down to rest, and then told Mrs. Gu Si her judgment, "It's someone from the Imperial City Division." ”
Mrs. Gu Si almost fainted, she knew what the Imperial City Division was, and she also heard about the methods used by the Imperial City Division a few days ago, and the old man fell into their hands, so she didn't know how she would be treated.
"Fourth aunt, none of us can panic at this time, especially if there is no other thing at home, the Imperial City Division has already started, we have to fight with all our spirits...... The Imperial City Division will not give up. ”
As soon as the curtain at the door moved, Jiang's mother shouted, "Third master, why are you here." ”
It is Gu Zhanlin, the son of the fourth uncle.
Gu Zhanlin is two years younger than her, and at such an age, she can already detect the abnormality at home.
Old Lady Gu took a breath and instructed Jiang's mother, "Let Brother Lin come in!" ”
Gu Zhanlin was led into the house.
Mrs. Gu Si hurriedly wiped away her tears and beckoned to Gu Zhanlin, "Brother Lin, why are you here, go and sit at your grandmother's place." ”
Gu Zhanlin nodded, and snuggled into Mrs. Gu's arms very obediently.
Mrs. Gu Si said: "I know, I will order you to go down, you must be careful and vigilant at the door these days, especially the third wife, I will go to say it on purpose." ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu Si looked at Langhua, "We're ...... I always have to ask how the master is doing. ”
Langhua said: "Shouzhou is not far from here, I will ask people to ask, and there will be news tomorrow at the latest." "As long as the Imperial City Division has not achieved its goal, the fourth uncle will be safe.
But Shen Changji, a madman, may do something else.
Mrs. Gu Si took Gu Zhanlin and left, Mrs. Gu also leaned on the pillow tiredly, and Langhua hurriedly stepped forward to serve.
"Langhua," Old Lady Gu said suddenly, "The Imperial City Division is forcing us." ”
Langhua also knew that if she fell into the hands of the Imperial City Division, she would definitely be tortured, as long as she thought of this, her heart was like being pinched tightly, Shen Changji knew very well how to use a knife against people, but at this time she had no right to be sad.
A resolute expression appeared on Langhua's face, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will find a way, and I will let the fourth uncle come back safely." ”
……
Old Madam Ye was about to rest, and Mother Ge, who was beside her, stepped forward to say, "Old Madam, Miss Gu is here." ”
Old Madam Ye looked at the hourglass next to her, "Why did you come here so late." ”
Ge's mother said: "It seems that there is an emergency. ”
Old Madam Ye sighed, "What should come will always come, and this level also depends on whether she can survive it." It's a pity that this child has to suffer so much at such a young age. ”
Old Madam Ye thought for a while, "Let her come in and rest, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it early tomorrow morning." ”
Ge's mother didn't understand, "Why is the old lady waiting. ”
"You don't understand," Old Madam Ye sighed, "Some things have to wait for it to get big before they can be cleaned up, the bigger the trouble, the smoother the road may be in the future, this is her chance, and it is also the opportunity for the Gu family." ”
Langhua was invited into the small courtyard of the Ye family, and the Ye family said a few kind words and retreated. The lights of the Ye family gradually went out, only the lights in this small courtyard were always on, and now for Gu Langhua, it was a sleepless night.
……
In another courtyard of the Ye family, someone gently shook the rattle, and the subordinate immediately took the lamp and entered the door.
The maid whispered, "Are you thirsty?" I'll bring water. ”
The woman shook her head, "What's going on over there with Miss Gu?" ”
The maid said: "Old Madam Ye has already rested, and she can only wait." ”
"It seems that this Gu family has really reached the end of the mountain."
"Not yet," the woman put on her clothes, "When Lord Min Huai and General Han really can't help, it will be the real end of the mountain." ”
"If she can make it to that point, I'll see her."
