Shen Gui watched this "parting from life and death" with a smile, but when he saw that the prefect began to move seriously, he pulled out the long sword Chunyu on his waist, and gently snorted the opponent's sword body, and saved the lady who closed her eyes and waited for death.

"Who are you? Why do you prevent the two of them from being loyal to His Majesty? ”

This Lord Gu raised his eyebrows and stared at Shen Gui, who had put away his sword and returned it. Shen Gui was also stunned when he heard this, tilted his head and looked at Mrs. Huang, whose body was as weak as mud and was sobbing:

"People just said no! Didn't you hear? If you want to be loyal, you will be loyal, what does it have to do with your wife? ”

"It's bastard! Looking at you like this, even if you are not the son of a scholarly family, you must have read the words of the sages. A woman has three obedience and four virtues, and since she is married to a wife, she should be a husband in everything. Now that Gu is determined to die, how can he be insulted by a woman to my Gu's lintel? ”

Shen Gui couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his "decadent feudal thoughts". He turned around and carefully looked at Master Gu, who was full of anger, and then looked back at Mrs. Huang, who was speechless and choked, before asking:

"Dare to ask the virtuous couple how many years have they been married?"

"Two out of thirty!"

"Do you have children?"

"Burdened by official work, no children have come out so far."

Hearing this, Shen Gui nodded: In this way, it seems that this Lord Gu is not a bad person, after all, according to the customs of this Huayu Continent, from the noble gate lords to the common people, this incense inheritance is regarded as a top priority. Now there is no one else in the entire Jincheng County Ya except for this couple, which proves that this Lord Gu did not take a concubine again because of the inheritance of the heir's incense. In any case, he must have true feelings for this Mrs. Huang.

"Since Lord Gu, you and your wife are more affectionate than Jinjian, why do you have to be buried for the sake of fulfilling your name? What's more, the Beiyan people haven't called yet! Isn't it a little early? ”

When Shen Gui said this, Mrs. Huang, who had been bowing her head and sobbing, suddenly screamed like crazy:

"Love is stronger than gold? The love of the fart is stronger than the gold! Last year, he also accepted a bribe of 2,000 taels of silver from a merchant in Beiyan, and I thought that he made such an exception in order to repair the ancestral hall of the Gu family's ancestral tomb; But I never expected that this old pervert would turn around and take a thin horse from Nankang Guangling as a concubine! And that prodigal hoof is only worth four hundred taels in Guangling, but if it is down, we will sell it for 1,800 taels of silver! Gao Fengliang has been a lifelong festival, and he became a corrupt official when he was old, and he also accepted a little girl who was more than 30 years younger than him as a concubine, which is shameless! Bah! Old pervert! Bah! Broken shoes! ”

Shen Gui looked at Mrs. Huang, who was like a madman, and then turned his head to look at Lord Gu, who was embarrassed and angry, and understood in his heart: In this way, at least eighty percent of the bad things Mrs. Huang said were true!

At this time, Master Gu, who was ashamed, raised his sword in his hand, pointed at Mrs. Huang and said:

"What a slut! It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and although you have not been a wife for many years, the official has never moved the idea of divorce from his wife. Now it's just a concubine, and you want to continue my Youbei Gu family's incense, but you have been messing with me for two years! I also told you that the Huang family, even if the Beiyan army does not come later, my lord, I will definitely take your life! ”

Shen Gui didn't even pull out his sword this time, and directly struck the sword scabbard on Master Gu's wrist. With a "bang" The sword fell to the ground, Master Gu covered his wrist, and stared at Shen Gui, who was blocking again.

Shen Gui ignored his murderous gaze, and just touched his chin and looked at Huang. And when Mrs. Huang saw that this young man was extraordinary, and she was willing to save her life, she suddenly felt that she had a backbone in her heart:

"Childe, you just went this way, did you see anyone else in the entire county office? Didn't you? The slave family told you that the Jincheng County Yashang went up to the third class to catch the head, the master worked as a servant, and the head of the gardener and the cook, all of them have been dismissed by the "honest and honest" Gu Governor's Mansion, but I, the lady of the palm print, have to accompany him to the funeral, how can you say that there is such a reason? ”

“…… No, didn't you just say that there was a concubine with a thin horse in Guangling? Can you please come out and let me see, what kind of quality is this girl worth 1,800 taels of silver? ”

"Hahaha...... Shaoxia, it's even more ridiculous when you talk about it! On the day when the envoys of Beiyan Mobei entered the capital, the little wave of hooves rolled up all the silver and ran away! With a value of 1,800 taels, plus the 8,000 taels of official silver sown by the imperial court to repair the city defense, this high-spirited and bright old man Gu lost nearly 10,000 taels of public silver at one time! The glory and wealth were all given to that little prodigal hoof, and now he wants to die to fulfill the Gu family's name, but he thinks of me, a bad wife! Shaoxia, tell me, is this old bastard still a person? Mrs. Ben also told you that if you want Mrs. Ben to fulfill your reputation as a loyal martyr, you should go and get that slut back and slaughter her with your own hands! The old lady is the lady of the main house, and if she wants to explore the road to the underworld, she has to go first. When that little hoof dies, you don't have to do it, my aunt and grandmother will find a rope and hang it myself. The old lady also let you, a heartless corrupt official, see what kind of person your aunt and grandmother are! ”

After listening to her sonorous words, Shen Gui almost wanted to shout hello to this Huang lady! It's just wonderful, whether you die or not, put it aside, just this mezzanine discussion, advance and retreat with a legal sense of proportion and attitude, it can also prove that when this Mrs. Huang was a girl in her mother's family, she was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"That's not right! Why are you here to take care of my family's affairs? Who are you? What is the intention of coming to Jincheng at this time? Judging by your speech and demeanor, you don't look like a local person born and raised on my Youbei Third Road, could it be that Beiyan came to work carefully? ”

Master Gu, who was blocked by his wife to a dead end, really couldn't answer, so he had to explore the true identity of this uninvited guest. In addition to wanting to change the subject, I do have some doubts.

Shen Gui really pouted, ignoring this hypocrite who was almost "loyal", but said to Mrs. Huang, who was pinching her waist and staring at Gu Zhifu like a fighting:

"Lord Gu, this Gu ...... Is it the Gu of the Nankang Gu family? ”

As soon as this question came out, Mrs. Huang didn't say anything, but Lord Gu straightened her chest first:

"Not bad! The ancestor of the family is the side branch of the Nankang Gu clan, and migrated to settle in Youbei a hundred years ago. ”

Mrs. Huang sneered:

"Humph! It's okay if you don't talk about this, but I'm angry when I mention this! The ancestor of this old man is indeed a side of a wealthy family, and he is also famous in the world. Originally, with the prestige of the Jiangdong Gu family, it was not a problem to find an official position in the ghost place of Youbei Third Road, but who made them Gu family members have a noble character? After participating in the Prime Minister's Ginseng Niangniang, and after participating in the Niangniang Ginseng Emperor, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't sue this day, which master can be happy? You said that their Gu family is also a scholarly family, why do they like to annoy people so much? In the generation of the founding Emperor Wuji, there was still a deputy minister who could support the portal; Many years later, the hope of the light lintel actually counted on the prefect of the district. It's really a weasel, and a litter is not as good as a litter. If you Gu family ancestors have knowledge, you can turn the coffin board over! ”

"Slut! How dare you insult my Gu ancestor? I'll let you ...... today, sir."

Master Gu, who was touched by the bottom line, just wanted to pick up the sword, but saw that Shen Gui's left hand had already pressed on the hilt. He had no choice but to give up his original plan, and instead ran two steps to raise his right foot, seeing that he was about to kick on the door in front of Mrs. Huang.

"Smack!"

There was no doubt that the scabbard of the Spring Rain Sword struck Master Gu's ankle again. Shen Gui understood this time, it turned out that this Master Gu was a famous family, but he was tired of the scholarly business, which led to poor official luck, and he ended up in this fate. He admired Master Gu's civil and official integrity very much, and he despised his sanctimonious hypocritical face. The so-called Qing official is difficult to decide family affairs, and he doesn't want to take care of these jealous things in other people's houses, but now the atmosphere in Jincheng is weird, and he can only ask the answer by starting from them!

"That's all for your family business. I am Shen Gui, the great protector of shamanism, and this time I am here to pay tribute to the souls of the fallen soldiers in front of the Eastern Customs under the assignment of He Wendao, the acting shaman. But when I first entered Jincheng, I found that the entire city was depopulated, and the atmosphere was extremely secretive. Only then did I come to the county government and wanted to ask Master Gu for a lesson or two. ”

When Lord Gu Hui heard Shen Gui's words, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. For him, as long as he doesn't mention the matter of taking concubines, there will be no place for Mrs. Huang, and he can retain some of the faces of Jiangdong celebrities.

"Hi...... It's a long story to talk about it......"

"Long story short, let's make a long story short!"

As soon as Shen Gui heard Lord Gu's opening remarks, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately stopped him when he was set up.

"Hey, isn't this the Northern Yan army going to invade Youbei? Our Jincheng is the first front-line battlefield. Naturally, the wealthy people and the businessmen who did business went to a safer place; Those who are left behind are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the coolies and poor ghosts who have no money. The people in this Jincheng have been six out of ten, and they have naturally become this deserted appearance. Gu dismissed the people in the government, and he also wanted to leave a way for those old guys to survive......

"Wait a minute, what Master Gu just said, aren't there still some poor coolies who haven't left? Naturally, all coolies are young and strong men, but when they went down into the city, why did they see only children and old men? ”

Master Gu sighed when he heard this:

"Hey...... Speaking of which, I ...... again"

"I said, old pervert, can you talk less nonsense? Shen Shaoxia, here's the thing! Those young and middle-aged people have been recruited by the masters of the Flying Bear Army as civil husbands, and they are serving the country in the Flying Bear Barracks! Of course, it's also to earn some silver taels and come back to support the family! Otherwise, the old and weak women and children in this city will not be starved to death? ”

Shen Gui nodded, and asked again:

"Then where are Yan Chongwu and the Flying Bear Army now?"

"The Flying Bears' camp is stationed on a hill thirty miles west of the city."

Shen Gui couldn't help frowning when he heard this: Although this Jincheng is not as solid as the city defense of the East Customs, it is much safer than camping in the wilderness after all! Yan Chongwu is not a mediocre talent who does not know about military affairs, so why would he adopt such a strategy to prepare for war?
