Chapter 117: Returning the Favor by Hanging

Seeing that the teahouse was also on the right track, and the 100th day of Gu Shichang and his wife was imminent, Ran Ran originally wanted to go and incense for them herself, after all, she was just simply chanting and putting them into the soil at the beginning. But everyone disagreed, firstly, they had been away from Yunluo Village for a long time, and they had no idea about the affairs of the village, and if someone was ambushed in the village, Ran Ran would be in danger. Second, the teahouse is inseparable from Ranran, and Mrs. Gu can't do without Ranran, and the group of aunts and wives also pointed to Ranran to accompany them to amuse.

Although she didn't think she had the ability to hide for so long with those killers, if she wanted to kill her, she would need to go back in person, and where would she be killed. But she couldn't resist everyone's unanimous request, so Ran Ran could only entrust everything to Ah Fu.

Thinking of so many lives in the Gu family, and the county order has been ignored for so long, and he has spent all day drinking, Ran Ran can't wait to go to the yamen to find him to vent his anger. Shen Jia always didn't forget to help her explain, the enemy of the Gu family was not the county order, and she had to rely on the county order if she wanted to leave Yuecheng.

Ah Fu nodded, thinking of the village chief, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth. "This is also negotiated, he can't touch the bottom of the Gu family, I said a few words and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, I asked him to pack up the food and send it here on the third day of the first month of every month, and it will be on his head if it drags on for a day."

Although the Gu family was defeated, the Gu family's land was still there, and in addition to the jewelry, Miao Ling brought out a lot of land deeds. It's just that because there are a lot of things, so I didn't care about collecting rent, and the people in the village thought that the Gu family was gone, and most of them were lucky in their hearts, thinking that the land deed was also burned.

So when Ah Fu went back, the first thing he did was to find out the village chief. Because the village chief still had lingering feelings about Ranran, coupled with Ah Fu's coercion and temptation, the matter was soon settled.

"It's good that he's willing to cooperate, but you have to keep an eye on it in the first few months, I'm afraid he's going to change." She has always pursued the principle that debts must be repaid, and grievances must be repaid. If they were willing to come out to help put out the fire, or deal with the aftermath, she should have done it. Since they were unkind first, why did she bother to talk to them.

Understanding Ranran's concerns, Ah Fu patted his chest and guaranteed. "I'm not afraid of this. I've bought a few eyeliners from the village and let them go out if necessary. If something happens in the village, the other lieutenants will not sit idly by, he wants to sit in this position. It's better to be safe and sound. ”

Ran Ran nodded appreciatively, "Ah Fu, I can't see that you are quite capable." ”

A Fu's face was filled with joy, but it quickly darkened, and he replied in a low voice: "It's all taught by the master." ”

Ran Ran said sincerely: "Thank you. ”

If she said that before, she only felt that they were loyal to the Gu family because they were the children of the family. Now she has completely regarded them as family, and only family members will be willing to leave unconditionally.

Ah Fu was a little surprised, secretly looked at Ranran, and replied carefully: "Lady can't help this, I didn't do anything." ”

"Thank you for being so capable and willing to stay, if you go out on your own, you may be able to make a difference." Ah Fu's biggest disadvantage is that he cares too much about his identity, even if he receives the deed of sale, he still treats himself as a child.

So hearing Ran Ran's sigh, Ah Fu seemed very cautious. "Please lady Mingjian. I will not betray the Gu family in this life and this life, I am the Gu family in life, and I am the ghost of the Gu family in death. The lady's great kindness gave me a free body, but I am not a perfidious villain, and I will never abandon the lady and leave alone. ”

"Me too!" Ah Cai was also emotionally driven, but he was more grateful to Ranran, even if he couldn't be with Mingxiang in the end.

Ran Ran knew in her heart that it was not good to talk to them about too deep issues, otherwise they would sooner or later turn themselves into a dead end, so she changed the subject.

"What's your last name?" She remembered that most of the Gu family's house slaves had surnames. Only the two of them kept shouting like this, as if no one knew their real names.

Ah Fu's expression was a little solemn, as if he remembered some bad memories from the past, and he didn't want to talk about the past. "I don't have a last name. Back then, the old man kindly took me in and gave me this name, and I have been using it ever since. Ah Cai only brought it briefly, "Me too, there was a big flood at home, and I escaped alone." ”

Ran Ran suddenly realized. It turned out that they were all homeless people, so Sanshunzi took the deed of sale and left, but they said that they were willing to stay and continue to serve Mrs. Gu.

Counting Miao Ling, who has a home but is unwilling to return, they are all the same fallen people at the end of the world. "Since that's the case, then you can follow my surname Gu, it's inconvenient to have a name or not a surname. Well...... Gu Fu, Gu Cai, why is it a little awkward. Yes, what about you, you will be called Gu Quanfu, and Ah Cai will be called Gu Yongcai. Complete blessings, eternal wealth. ”

The two glanced at each other, their faces were full of surprise, and they couldn't hide the surging in their hearts, and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you for the name!"

Ran Ran saw Ah Fu's lifeless kowtow itself, and immediately pulled them up, "Okay, don't kneel at every turn, the man has gold under his knees, since I have returned your free status, it is because I trust you and hope that you can be upright." ”

With a name, it was like having a soul, and the two of them even straightened their waists.

"Lady, I found that this box was not burned out in the old lady's room, and it seemed to be inlaid with gold." Ah Fu suddenly remembered something, and untied a cloth bag under his robe, hiding a box the size of a bowl inside. The wood grain on the surface is slightly worn, and the gold lock on the box is blackened, but it is still intact.

Ran Ran took it, looked at it for a long time, and frowned: "Why haven't I seen this." "She has cleaned the furnishings in Old Madam Gu's house a lot, and even Old Madam Gu's dowry box has seen it, but she can't find a little impression of this.

The golden lock proved that it could be opened with a key, but she had never even heard of it, let alone the key.

Seeing Ranran's frowns, Ah Cai proposed, "Do you want to smash it open?" ”

Ran Ran shook her head to stop, "Don't, keep it for now, maybe grandmother will come to her senses one day and ask her again." Since it is so hidden, it must be something important. "It's a pity that Shanlin's daughter-in-law is gone, otherwise she would have known what was hidden here.

A few more things were told for tomorrow, and Ran felt a little tired, so she asked them to go back and rest.

Ah Fu hesitated for a long time and didn't leave, "Actually, there is one more thing. ”

Ran Ran nodded at Ah Cai and motioned for him to leave first, "Say, what's the matter?" She was wondering what else Ah Fu needed to be so mysterious, but his words made her gasp.

"Jingjing is dead."

With a shake of his hand, the wooden box almost fell, and Ran Ran asked sharply: "What's the matter!" ”

"I heard that it was hanging, not long after we left. Because the place of death was somewhat hidden, it took several days to be found. In fact, Ah Fu has been hesitant to tell Ranran, after all, Jingjing is already married, and the relationship between her and Gu Lianzhao is not to be seen by Ran.

"Where did you die?" It turned out to be suicide!

Seeing Ranran's expression slowly calm down from shock, Ah Fucai said: "In the grove outside the pond at the back, there is a small valley there, which is not easy to be spotted in ordinary times. ”

When she instantly learned about the place where Jingjing committed suicide, Ran Ran felt a little heavy in her heart, she didn't expect Jingjing to be so worried. "Then she is in the house...... What does the husband's family say? ”

Ah Fu sighed, and he didn't know whether to feel sorry for Jingjing or for Carpenter Liu. "I didn't hear any news, so I probably felt unlucky, but I couldn't help it, I just buried her hastily."

"Where is the burial?" Ran Ran closed her eyes and paused for a moment before speaking.

"I went to see it for my wife, but I can't worship it after a hundred days of death, and I can't wait until the anniversary to make incense." Ah Fu reminded carefully.

"Remember to remind me to go see her next year, and it's okay...... Give her back a piece of love for the young master. (To be continued.) )
