"A few days ago, someone impeached the uncle for trespassing,"

Gu Jialuo took the newspaper and smiled lightly while reading it.

Ziwei was puzzled, "Uncle was impeached again?" "Isn't that a bad thing?

Why is the grandmother still smiling, as if she has heard some good news?!

Could it be that you are confused?

Of course, Gu Jialuo was not confused, she pointed to a personnel appointment in the newspaper, and said: "At this time, the excerpt of Meng Bu's political envoy is sent to the capital urgently. In the compromise, he elaborated on the situation of Wumeng, and strongly recommended our uncle to be the prefect of Wumeng. He also gave a detailed description of our uncle's political achievements in the past two months, especially the fact that he single-handedly led only a few family members to recover the two departments of Wumeng, which was highlighted by the political envoy Meng Bu. ”

Ziwei seemed to have guessed something, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Uncle is going to be promoted?" ”

The sentence structure of the sentence is a question, but the tone is very firm.

Gu Jialuo nodded, "That's right, the official ministry has already issued an appointment, and the official document will be sent in about a month." ”

The war in the southwest is chaotic, and normal communication is somewhat unsmooth.

The Di newspaper was sent by Qi Ling's first person through the Qi family's special channel, which was accurate and timely, but the official document of the Ministry of Officials was not so fast.

If you are lucky enough to be able to deliver it smoothly, it will take thirty or forty days according to the distance.

"Oh, it's really good, the uncle is only nineteen years old this year, and before he has a weak crown, he will become a prefect?"

Ziwei was excited, happy for her master from the bottom of her heart, "Not to mention that the uncle has been a county magistrate for less than a year." This has been upgraded several levels in a row, ouch, I really envy others. ”

This promotion speed. It's not a plane, it's a rocket!

Gu Jialuo was very happy, but he didn't get carried away, and slowly restrained his smile, "Uncle can have such an achievement, firstly, because he is capable and dedicated to being a king; second, it is inseparable from the strong support of relatives and friends in Beijing; Third, I owe Meng Bu a great favor. ”

And the Meng Bu envoy will support Qi Jin. recommended him at a sensitive time when the imperial history was impeached and rumors were flying, and in the final analysis, he was probably inseparable from Master Miaozhen.

Gu Jialuo's eyes narrowed slightly. She ordered people to investigate for a long time, but she still didn't find out what she had to do with Master Miaozhen.

Except for the biological mother Feng Shi who had some friendship with the master, basically, Gu Jialuo and the master are two parallel lines.

It's good. Why did the master do this to her? Is it more caring than the elders of the in-laws?

If you say that you look like Master Miaozhen. It's reasonable, but the problem is that the two of them don't look alike.

After thinking about it, Gu Jialuo's attention still fell on his birthday - the eighth day of the fourth month, the Buddha's birthday!

She remembers very well that Tao Qi was also born on this day.

And Master Miaozhen once favored Tao Qi very much, and insisted that the daughter of a small official family was more noble than the serious golden branches and jade leaves.

What's even more coincidental is that Tao Qi doesn't look like a master. There is no direct relationship with the master.

In addition, Gu Jialuo also faintly heard it. The former concubine of the King of Qi, Lin, that is, her good neighbor in Tiejian, seems to have been born in April. She hasn't found out exactly what day.

But eight out of ten is the eighth day of the fourth month.

And the Lin family, a girl from a small official family of the Internal Affairs Mansion, can marry into the palace of the dignified county as a side concubine, and Master Miaozhen has a lot of help.

…… To sum up the above points, Gu Jialuo came to a conclusion: Master Miao Zhen prefers baby girls born on the eighth day of the fourth month.

Well, the question arises again, why? Why is Master Myo Zhen interested in the baby girl born on this day?

If she once had a daughter born on the Buddha's birthday, but for some reason her daughter died young, or even a little more bloody, and her daughter disappeared, whether Master Miao Zhen wanted to find her own daughter out of empathy or wanted to find her own daughter, and then attached great importance to the baby girl born on this day, this can still be reasonable.

But、Yes,Miaozhen never had a child at all!!

Moreover, Gu Jialuo did not think that he would be someone else's child.

The reason is very simple, in the family of the powerful, it attaches great importance to the bloodline, even if it is a girl, it will never be confused.

Stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, tanuki for princes...... You think this is a big rehearsal, but it's not easy to change a child in reality.

Moreover, Gu Jialuo and Gu Lin look so similar, anyone who looks at them will think that Gu Jialuo is the daughter of the Gu family.

You can't say that Gu Lin is also a child who holds the wrong one, right?!

The most important thing is that when Gu Jialuo consulted historical materials in later generations, whether it was an official history such as "History of Qi", or wild history or folklore, there was no record of Master Miaozhen having a daughter.

It was not disclosed that the Gu family had a bloody heavenly thunder terrier with mixed blood.

You must know that the folk customs of Daqi are open, and the content of the wild history that goes viral among the people is extremely exciting, for example, in the wild history, some people insinuate that Xiao Ye and Xiao Yu (that is, Master Miaozhen) had an adulterous relationship.

Adulterous love for your sister, the two are obviously the closest brothers and sisters and the most inseparable comrades-in-arms.

However, even the 'paparazzi in the market' did not dig up any clues, so it can be seen that Master Miaozhen has no children is still more reliable.

So the question is back to the original point, why does the master prefer Gu Jialuo?

It's almost an absolutely selfless, Akagi effort, but he doesn't ask for anything in return.

Why?

…… Gu Jialuo rubbed his eyebrows, no longer entangled in those unsolvable questions, and turned all his thoughts back to Qi Jinzhi.

Hmm, I don't know what's going on over there.

Did you receive the letter? Have you been calculated by that bastard Liang Zhutou?

Qi Jinzhi, who was being remembered by Gu Jialuo, was speechless at this time looking at a person dressed as a scholar and generously speaking-

"The state has national laws, and Qizhi County is actually the order of Wusa County, why did he interfere in the affairs of Wumeng Mansion at the next level?"

"In a hurry? Then you also need to follow the royal law and rules. Also, Qi Zhi County is just overstepping the rules, why is he acting so ruthlessly? What crimes did you commit against those people, and you punished them to hard labor? ”

"Sven sweeps the floor. It's really Sven sweeping the floor. Although Cheng Erlang has no fame, he is also a scholar who is a child in the examination, but Qi Zhixian arrested him for no reason. Mixed with a bunch of vulgar untouchables—"

Qi Jinzhi quietly asked a middle-aged scribe beside him, "Who is this person?" ”

The scribe twitched the corners of his mouth, saying that he had already introduced Qi Jinzhi just now. Qi Jinzhi asked like this, not because he forgot his words and really wanted to know who the nerd was, but because he was surprised by the nerd's words and deeds, and deliberately asked a rhetorical question.

"His name is Duan Zhengdao, and his ancestral home is Dali. He is a famous talent in Wumeng, a talent in the young examination, and among the scholars in Wumeng. Quite prestigious. ”

The scribe groaned in his heart, but reintroduced it. However, he understood Qi Jinzhi's mood at this time, because he himself was very unpleasant to some of Duan Zhengdao's words and deeds.

"Xiucai? Didn't you get into the exam? ”

Qi Jin put one hand on his cheek, trying to ignore the buzzing in his ears. Whisper to the scribe.

"......," the scribe was silent.

You don't hit someone in the face. Lord Qi!

Duan Zhengdao is most proud of being admitted to Xiucai at the age of thirteen, such a record, not to mention in the southwest of the wilderness, even in the south of the Yangtze River, where the literary style is at its peak, can also be praised as a 'prodigy' and 'little talent'.

And what he hates the most is that after being admitted to Xiucai, he has taken the exam three times in a row, and it has been ten years. Failed to pass the exam.

"Duan, Duan Xiu, is it?"

The scribe was muttering to himself, and Qi Jinzhi had already spoken. "What did you say you were here for?"

When the scribe heard the words 'Duan Xiucai', he immediately wanted to cover his face.

Sure enough, hearing the word 'Xiucai', Duan Zhengdao's passionate speech stopped, his chest rose and fell violently a few times, he took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and said coldly: "Qi Zhi County, you are the county governor of Wusa, but suddenly come to Wumeng to interfere in government affairs without authorization, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

Xiucai, Xiucai again! The villain in Duan Zhengdao's heart was already manic, he knew that many people were jealous of him, and when they saw that he was slightly unhappy, they deliberately used these sour words to squeeze him.

On the surface, he deliberately behaves with respect, just like he treats all scholars who have achieved fame.

But there is a deep malice behind every sentence of 'Duan Xiucai'!

Duan Zhengdao was originally a smart person, but he was dazzled by fame and fortune over the years, lost his nature, and failed in the imperial examinations one after another. But his brain is not broken, and his senses are very sharp.

He clearly felt that the young man sitting on the high seat opposite was trying to taunt him and hit him with the word 'Xiucai' at this moment, like all those who were jealous of him!

Duan Zhengdao clenched his back molars, and looked at Qi Jinzhi's eyes full of resentment, mixed with faint envy.

Straight mother's,X second generation or something,The most annoying。

Especially when he saw Qi Jinzhi's extraordinarily young face, Duan Zhengdao's 'hatred of the rich' mentality began to emerge again-hmph, if you don't have any ability, if you don't have a good father, can you be a magistrate at a young age?

Now it's even more outrageous, and he still dares to think about the position of prefect.

Qi Jinzhi is so smooth, how can he not make Duan Zhengdao envious, jealous and hateful?

Hearing Duan Zhengdao's unceremonious questioning, Qi Jinzhi was not annoyed, but learned Duan Zhengdao's tone, "Duan Zhengdao, you are a showman, but suddenly pretending to be the imperial history and running to Benzhi County to make a big fuss, isn't it a little inappropriate?" ”

This is difficult to defeat Duan Zhengdao, he stiffened his neck, and said proudly: "Gaozu has clouds, and the rise and fall of the world is responsible, Duan is not talented, and he can't bear to see someone breaking the law and exceeding the rules, so he came to advise." Loyal to the ear, although Duan's words are not good, they are really for Wumeng and Qizhi County. ”

Qi Jinzhi nodded his head pretending to be 'taught', and then turned his head to Qi Dayong on the other side and said, "Is that a move?" ”

Qi Dayong didn't seem to see Duan Zhengdao, and replied directly and respectfully: "Liu Hu is using means, and there will be results soon." Hmph, it's just a small head catcher, and he dares to collude with Liang Wei and try to besiege Wumeng. ”

Duan Zhengdao saw Qi Jinzhi's 'master and servant' ignoring him like this, he was annoyed for a while, and then he was immediately attracted by the content of their conversation.

After listening to it for a while, combined with his own speculation, Duan Zheng said in a stern manner: "Head hunting? Qi Zhixian can say that Liang Hailiang catches the head? He is the nephew of the prefect of Xianliang, and he is the most bold person on weekdays, you, you must not frame a good person for your own selfishness! ”

Qi Jinzhi sat up straight and looked at him with burning eyes, "Listening to what you mean, do you think that Liang Hai is a good person?" I just wonder if you are willing to vouch for him? ”

Duan Zhengdao hesitated.

At this moment, Liu Hu walked in with a bloody thing.

Duan Zhengdao was taken aback by the strong smell of blood, looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah, this, this is Liang Zhutou?" ”

Is this still personal?

There was no good flesh all over his body, and the blood was flowing all over the ground, if it weren't for the ups and downs in his chest, he would have thought that this was a dead man.

None of the people present paid attention to him, and Liu Hu casually threw the humanoid object in his hand to the ground.

"Hmm~~" The humanoid object instinctively made a ** sound, but the sound was very weak.

Liu Hu clenched his fists, "So that the county will know that this guy confessed, saying that it was Ma Zhongtai of Wusa who promised that if he can incite the people in the city to besiege the adults, create chaos in the city, and take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate to receive the Tartars into the city, he can get a salt well of the Ma family in the Wufeng Mountains." ”

The southwest is landlocked, with no sea salt and no lake salt.

Most of the salt that the people eat daily is brought in from outside. And the official salt in the Wumeng area is in the hands of several major families.

These companies are not good at stubble, raising prices or something, don't do it too easily.

Therefore, in Umeng, the price of salt is two or three times higher than the market price.

Those families not only divided the share of official salt, but also secretly controlled several salt wells.

It's just that the well salt is being developed, and only old families like the Ma family, the Zhan family, and the An family can have the ability to exploit it.

A salt well, like a cash cow, is already difficult to measure with a specific price.

Ma Zhongtai's shot is a salt well, this reward is definitely tempting enough, let alone a Liang catcher, even a middle-aged scribe who switched to Qi Jinzhi's door, can't help but be a little tempted.

Tsk, a salt well, don't blame Liang Hai for a small head catcher who dares to do such a disaster for the Nine Clans.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Qi Jinzhi's lips, "It's still the eldest grandmother who is wise to take down Ma Zhongtai in advance." Hmph, as soon as he made a shot, it was a salt well, and Ma Zhongtai was so generous. "This time he will never let this man go again.

"County Zun, what should I do with this guy?"

Liu Hu finished replying, kicked a ball on his side, and asked in a deep voice.

"Duan Xiucai, hey, where is Duan Xiucai?"

Qi Jin suddenly remembered Duan Zhengdao, but found that at some point, the righteous and awe-inspiring Duan Xiucai had disappeared.

The scribe coughed lightly, forced a smile, and said, "When Liu Zhutou replied to the matter, Duan and Duan Xiucai quietly retreated. His subordinates wanted to stop him, but it was not easy to interrupt Liu Zhutou's words, so-"

"Flutter~"

Qi Jinzhi tried to think about the appearance of the next Duan Zhengdao sneaking out in his mind, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, uncle, I just want to laugh when I'm young, what kind of person is this, what kind of person is this, just a sour talent, and he dares to run in front of you to make a big fuss?"

Qi Dayong burst out laughing.

Liu Hu, scribes and others couldn't hold it anymore and laughed one after another.

The laughter came out of the hall, and Duan Zhengdao, who was going down the steps, almost stepped on the air, he finally stood still, looked back, flicked his sleeves suddenly, and walked out hatefully.

Not far from the mansion, Duan Zhengdao was stopped by a girl dressed in Yi costumes: "Duan Zhengdao, I finally caught you!" ”

"Zhan Azhuo? Why are you a brute again? Duan Zhengdao looked dished......
