After deciding to move back to the countryside, Gu Juan went upstairs and began to pack his things. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that she suddenly heard a noisy sound outside the door, and she hurriedly walked down, only to find Zhang Quan standing outside the door with a wounded face, followed by a man who looked like a servant.
Zhang Quan raised his chin, quite a bit of a dog's strength.
Gu Juan sneered, took out the kitchen knife from the stove room, then put the whetstone in the hall, sat on the stool, and began to sharpen the knife.
Gu Juan's actions made Zhang Quan stand at the door, so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
He cowered and said to the official behind him: "Brother Li, this is this woman, she tore up my marriage book and beat me. ”
The official saw the woman in front of him sharpening her knife silently, and her heart was a little hairy for a while.
Gu Juan raised his head, a pair of big black and white eyes looked at the two of them coldly, and the kitchen knife in his hand glowed with cold light.
"What are you going to do, little lady, you're going to go to jail if you do this, don't be impulsive. ”
Before the words fell, Zhang Quan was kicked down by Gu Juan.
"You are bold!" The official pulled out the knife at his waist, and the snow-white blade was across Gu Juan's neck, and the blade was about to touch Gu Juan's neck.
Gu Juan looked at the official coldly.
"Ancient festivals are extremely important to women, this guy has repeatedly ruined my name, even if I commit an official today, I will slash this thief!" Before the words fell, the blade in Gu Juan's hand flew in the direction of Zhang Quan.
Zhang Quan was stupefied.
As soon as his legs were weak, he knelt directly on the ground, Gu Juan sneered and took away the blade on his neck, and then walked to Zhang Quan's side and took the kitchen knife.
"I said you'd regret it if I saw you again. Gu Juan took the kitchen knife with a cold glow and looked at Zhang Quan viciously.
Zhang Quan hurriedly looked at the servant, who was also suppressed by Gu Juan's fierce style, and did not react for a while, but at this time he had already understood, and hurriedly came to Gu Juan, and said sharply: "You shrew, you are so bold and bold, you dare to commit murder in front of the official." ”
In the end, this official has a little bit to do with the official word, and he has been in trouble in the township for many years, which is really a bit of a trick.
It's just that Gu Juan is a peer with this guy in a sense, so he won't be scared by this guy in the end. I saw Gu Juan sneering: "The official brother is so majestic, my father is a Maocai in this county, and he doesn't kneel when he sees the county master, you, as the official of the county, actually took a man to openly break into the house, at this time there is only my seriously ill brother in this house, if I really show this face, go to the county government to sue me, maybe I will take away all your clothes!"
Gu Juan said very powerfully, but Gu Juan also knew that Zhang Quan's real backer was Zhang Dianshi.
The classic history of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the director of the public security bureau in later generations, so it is really difficult to deal with, but Gu Juan is not a soft persimmon in the end, and what about the classic history, isn't there a county lord who pays attention to fame? It's a big deal to make things bigger, Gu Juan doesn't believe that in this era when everything is inferior, only reading is high, a scholar can still be bullied to such a point.
The official was naturally angry, after all, he had been rampant in the township for many years, and the one next to him was not flattering and flattering.
At this time, Gu Juan said this, and suddenly his heart was furious, and he picked up the knife in his hand and was about to cut Gu Juan's body, but at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared outside the door, it was Gu Zhi and a man in extraordinary clothes, the man was shocked when he saw this scene, and hurriedly said: "Li Da! What are you going to do? ”
This Li Dazheng opened his mouth to scold, but when he turned his head to look, he was immediately frightened when he saw the man.
He hurriedly said, "Lord Liu?!"
This extraordinarily dressed man is a scribe in the sixth room, and the county's edict is an in-law, this master, Li Tiantian can't afford to offend, even the Zhang Dianshi behind them doesn't dare to offend this easily, after all, the local academic and political officials have some power, and this place is still Taicang, Suzhou Prefecture.
So Li Da hurriedly put down the blade in his hand and said to Lord Liu: "I don't know if it's an adult, it's really a collision." ”
Lord Liu said in a deep voice: "Why are you embarrassed by a little lady?"
Seeing that this Lord Liu was not very helpful, Li Da said: "It's this newspaper official, and I came to arrest the suspect on the order of the history." ”
Lord Liu frowned and said, "I see. ”
Li Da looked at Lord Liu's behavior, so he hurriedly gave Zhang Quan a look, Zhang Quan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Lord Liu: "My lord, I originally made a marriage contract with this Gu family, and I have already given Gu Xiucai ten taels of silver as a dowry, but who knew that this family actually regretted it, and couldn't help tearing up my marriage book, and beat me, it was this little lady who did it, my lord, don't look at the little lady's weak body, but you can do it." ”
At this time, Gu Zhi saw Lord Liu's thoughtful expression, so he opened his mouth and said: "You are talking nonsense, how can I, a scholar in Gu Moutang, marry a person like you!"
At this time, Zhang Quan said with a face full of contempt: "Come on, you didn't say that at the time, and said that let me, a good son-in-law, help my brother-in-law who is about to die of illness." After Gu Zhi heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
This Zhang Quan seemed to have forgotten that Gu Juan was behind him, although he had been silent, the kitchen knife in his hand was still there.
"I've never seen a brute more able to tell nonsense than you. ”
Zhang Quan saw Gu Juan's kitchen knife, and his legs suddenly weakened in fright.
Lord Liu sighed and said, "Since you both have your own opinions, why don't you go back with me and ask for an explanation from the county honor." ”
As soon as Zhang Quanyi heard where the county was respected, he was immediately afraid, this Suzhou Taicang county lord likes to read the most, he can figure it out with his toes, what kind of fate he will be at that time, although his cousin has a little thin face in Zhang Dianshi, but in the end he will not offend the county lord for himself, an outsider.
"No need, no need, the little one doesn't want to have anything to do with this family at this time, he just wants to get the money back and take back the dowry. ”
After Zhang Quan finished speaking, Gu Zhi suddenly became angry, and he opened his mouth and said, "When will I ask for your money!"
"Gu Xiucai, you are a showman, you can't admit it, right?" Zhang Quan looked at Gu Zhi with disdain, Gu Juan sneered and said: "You say, when did you say you gave my father ten taels of silver, that's not a small amount, you are an idle gangster all day long, where do you have so much money?"
Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is what my cousin gave me." ”
"Your cousin, the soap class of a county government office actually casually gave people ten taels of silver, which is really interesting. ”
The county's annual salary is only 100 taels.
After hearing this, Lord Liu touched his beard and said, "This is strange, my monthly salary is only five taels or four cents of silver. ”
Zhang Quan suddenly felt bad.
