Chapter 139: Brother Sells Sister

When Gu Juan peeked in front from the back hall, he felt that Wang Kai at this time was extremely imposing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's just that there are a few mosquitoes flying in this lobby.

It's a lot of scenery.

The county magistrate who took office on the first day did not have anything strange, the former magistrate was a responsible and good official, although he was a person who filled the vacancy, but he was really diligent. Although Changning County is still very poor, it has a good reputation among the local people.

Wang Kai and the others spent the morning checking the account books of the county government, and when they had lunch, they were a little absent-minded.

Gu Juan was naturally very worried, so he asked, "What's wrong?" But what's wrong with the finances? ”

Wang Kai sighed and said, "There are only two hundred taels of silver on the account books of the Changning County Ya. There are more than 20,000 residents in Changning County, although it is not a county, but it should not be like this. ”

Seeing Wang Kai like this, Gu Juan hurriedly said: "Yesterday, my husband should have seen it, this Changning County is really poor, if there are many in the county government, it is strange." ”

Wang Kai smiled and said: "I just complained to Ru, I have always been a Ming Dynasty official, and there have always been very few. I'm afraid Madame will suffer with me. ”

Gu Juan was noncommittal, and told Hanyu to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

When there were only two of them left, he said: "When my father and brother lived in Qinghe, they only ate two meals a day, and they were all wild vegetable porridge. “

Wang Kai was suddenly moved, and said with a smile: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." ”

It's just that after this noon, Wang Kai went to the lobby again and instructed the clerks of the sixth room to prepare the documents and materials of the government, and the handover work should be done today.

When Gu Juan went out from the main gate, he happened to bump into the thin-faced Song County Cheng.

Song Xiancheng's strange eyes looked at Gu Juan very uncomfortable, Hanyu glanced at him coldly, and Song Xiancheng turned his face away.

After walking to the market, Han Yu said to Gu Juan: "Madam, this county man looks like a disciple. ”

Gu Juan shook his head and said, "If that's the case, I won't feel strange, but I always feel that this person looks at me like this, not because of my appearance." ”

"What else could it be for?"

"I don't know, I don't want to think about it yet, go buy a chicken and make up for everyone."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them arrived at the market not far from the county government, there were a lot of local vegetables in this market, and all kinds of mushrooms looked very fresh, Gu Juan sold some of them, and then went to buy an old hen, ready to go back to the mansion to stew a pot of chicken soup for Wang Kai.

It's just that when the two were about to go home, they saw Jingnu standing in front of a stall arguing with a man.

Gu Juan was originally going to send Jing Nu back to her hometown, but Jing Nu didn't want to go back, so she left this girl by her side and Han Yu as her companion.

Today she said she was going to go out, but she never thought that such a thing would happen.

"Jing Nu? What are you in? ”

After Jing Nu saw Gu Juan, she hurriedly pulled Gu Juan and said: "Madam, this is my brother, yesterday he asked someone to find me, I was afraid of making trouble for Madame, so I came out alone, who knew that this bastard was going to sell me again." ”

Gu Juan looked in the direction that Jing Nu was pointing and found a man with a sloppy face looking at her with bad intentions.

"This is your brother?"

"Yes."

Next to Jing Nu's brother stood an old man who had read more than half a hundred, and his eyes were on Jing Nu.

Gu Juan looked at the two of them, whispered a word in Han Yu's ear, and left alone.

Seeing this, Jingnu's brother immediately said with bad intentions: "My sister calls you Mrs., is it possible that you bought my sister, but Mrs. didn't give me money?" Ten taels of silver, give me ten taels of silver, this girl's life is yours, madam. ”

After Gu Juan heard this, he laughed angrily and said coldly: "I didn't buy her, and you are not qualified to buy your own sister, the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulates that human trafficking is not allowed, do you know?" ”

The man frowned and laughed, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

"She's my sister, so naturally I can sell her!" The man grabbed Jingnu with one hand and tried to pull her away.

"Wait!"

At this time, there were already many people gathered here and now, and the man wanted to pull Jingnu away, but was stopped by the crowd.

"My own sister-in-law, I don't need to worry about my wife."

Gu Juan smiled and said, "Naturally, I can't control it, but someone can control you." ”

Before the words fell, the man was handed over and kicked to the ground, and this kick was naturally not kicked by Gu Juan. I saw Li Baihu with a black face, looking at the man, Li Baihu was extremely majestic, wearing an official uniform, and holding a knife in his hand, and suddenly scared this person so much that he couldn't speak.

Gu Juan glanced at Li Baihu, and then said, "Take these two people away and go back and let the adults try them for trial." ”

"Yes."

The man wailed in his heart, it seemed that this time he had really provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with.

When he returned to the county office, when he saw Wang Kai who was about to finish work, Gu Juan couldn't help but smile and said, "Husband is tired?" ”

"After reading the account book for a day, I am naturally tired, if I can pinch it for my husband, it would be good."

When Gu Juan saw Wang Kai say this, he was naturally a little shy.

"I'm afraid my husband will be busy again, and you will have to try the case today."

Before the words fell, a burst of drumming sounded outside the county yamen.

This is the first time that when Wang Kai arrived in Changning, someone beat the drum and complained.

Wang Kai sat outside the public court, Gu Juan also stood aside as a witness, Jingnu knelt on the ground, pointed to the brother who was escorted by Li Baihu and said: "My lord, the people's daughter is a person who is looking for Dian, her name is Jingnu, this is my brother, Lunwa, he has repeatedly bought me to others, and this time he wants to marry me to an old man, my lord, please make the decision for me?" ”

Wang Kai's brows furrowed, he glanced at Gu Juan, and Gu Juan's eyebrows smiled.

"Lunwa, is what Jingnu said true?"

"My lord, it's wronged, this is my brother to find a family for my sister, although he is older, but people will hurt people when they are old, my lord Mingjian, the grass people really don't want to sell her!"

After Lunwa finished speaking, Jingnu hurriedly said in a loud voice: "My lord, my lord, he lied, he has sold me many times!" ”

"You speak." Wang Kai said to the old man.

"Great, my lord, what Lunwa said is indeed true, I didn't give him money."

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Lunwa tremblingly.
