Chapter 8 The Ins and Outs

The three of them ate a meal until the evening, Li Er was a little drunk, and decided not to stay any longer, so he got up and said to Gu Xiuyuan: "My lord, I won't continue to bother, thank you for your hospitality......"

Gu Xiu saw that Li Er wanted to say something tirade again, so he immediately waved his hand to interrupt his words and asked the old housekeeper to send Li Er for him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the two left, Gu Xiuyuan returned to the study, asked the little maid to pour himself a cup of tea, sober up his wine, and waited for the old housekeeper to come over after sending Li Er, it is estimated that the old housekeeper must have wanted to know what happened when he went to the county office.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was the old butler who had come.

"Dalang, but are you resting?" The old butler's voice was still so gentle, it made people feel like they were coming home.

Gu Xiuyuan got up and walked to the door, opened the door with his hand, and said, "Uncle Ze, come in, it's humid outside at this time." After speaking, he turned sideways and motioned to the old butler to come in.

The old housekeeper nodded, took the door from Gu Xiuyuan's hand after coming in, and closed the door himself.

"Uncle Ze has been wondering what happened when I went to the county office? And I don't understand why Second Brother Li called me an adult just now? Gu Xiuyuan sat down and asked directly to the old housekeeper.

"It's really the same as what Da Lang said, it seems that the villain can't hide anything." The old butler smiled, and did not show any embarrassed expression, very calmly.

Gu Xiuyuan took out the official letter that Wang Wenzhong gave him, handed it to the old housekeeper, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ze, open it and take a look."

The old housekeeper took it suspiciously, looking at the stamp on it, this is the official document of Huating County issued by Qin Feng Road, how can it be here in Dalang.

Seeing this, his heart had already begun to surge, and he slowly opened the official document, and what caught his eye was "Huating Gu's family, recommended by the main book, reported to the government of the envoy for a brief transfer...... Tejin Ci Chengxin Lang ...... "Huating Gu was added after the fact, although it is a martial position, but this has already made the old housekeeper very happy."

"Da Lang...... This, this is from Lord Wang to our house? The old butler spoke with some excitement.

Gu Xiuyuan was also a little touched in his heart when he saw the old housekeeper like this, after all, the old housekeeper was the person who wanted to make himself promising.

"It's not for us, but we made an agreement with him and exchanged it."

The old housekeeper immediately calmed down after hearing Gu Xiuyuan's words, and felt that there was a big problem in it, so he asked out loud: "Does Lord Wang want our family to fill the gap in Changping and the county government with him?"

This time it was Gu Xiuyuan's turn to be surprised, how could Uncle Ze think of this?

"Uncle Ze, why do you say that?"

The old housekeeper sighed and said softly: "In the past, when the master was here, he didn't do many things, but at that time, the county commander asked the master to go, and he often filled those bottomless p......its with hundreds of thousands of times" Speaking of this, I don't know why, the old housekeeper stopped talking a little, and his eyes were a little moist.

Gu Xiuyuan was very shocked at this moment, but more angry, in his memory, his father had been to Huating County shortly before he died, and generally speaking, he would only go once a month or two, that was to check the accounts, but during that period, he went to Huating County four times......

"Uncle Ze, are you saying that your father's matter is related to the magistrate?" Gu Xiuyuan asked directly.

The old housekeeper was a little panicked, as if he wanted to cover up this fact, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Da Lang is too worried, how can the magistrate have anything to do with the master's affairs!"

Seeing this, Gu Xiu was already clear in his heart about the general ins and outs of the matter, it should be this time that the superintendent would check the officials at all levels below, and the magistrate was afraid that it would lead to the incident because there were too many deficits in the government and Chang Ping, so he used the old method and called Master Gu to go to the county government to talk, and asked him to pay to fill the vacancy between Chang Ping and the county office, and give him some benefits afterwards, after all, Master Gu moved from other places, there is no deep-rooted power here, and the background is also shallow, except for some money and grain, there is not much background. Which Cheng thought, Master Gu did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in order for his son to live a better life, and committed suicide by himself.

And the magistrate must have known the news, and there was no other way to go to the Weizhou Mansion to seek the help of the big man, hoping to shelter him during the investigation.

But the magistrate will definitely not know that the big man is the target of the key "protection" now.

Wang Wenzhong must know these things, and the official document he got may have been handed over to Qin Fenglu after the county magistrate asked Wang Wenzhong to write it, and before he could take it out, Master Gu died.

And Wang Wenzhong used this to find himself and let himself replace his father.

Gu Xiuyuan is not stupid, on the contrary, he has seen through a lot of things in his two lives, this series of things, combined with the expressions of Wang Wenzhong and the old housekeeper, and then look at the reaction of the county magistrate, you can know that his guess is probably right.

At this time, Gu Xiuyuan was a little decadent and helpless after thinking about it, and he had seen this sentence on the Internet forum in his previous life: Officials in the world can be killed.

It seems that his strength is not enough, if he has the status of a lifter, and there is a strong relationship in the family, how can it lead to the death of his father, in this world, ordinary officials can casually let a family die, not to mention that he is now the lord of a county.

"Da Lang...... Da Lang still rests more, don't be like last time. The old housekeeper tried to change the topic, wanting Gu Xiuyuan not to think about it.

Gu Xiuyuan didn't answer, just sat at the desk in a daze, feeling a little sad in his heart, he had been an orphan since he was a child, and he was finally reborn and had his own father, but because he wanted to make his life better, at least he wouldn't worry about eating and drinking, and refused the persecution of the magistrate, and died in exchange for his own stability.

Father's love is like a mountain, Gu Xiuyuan felt it deeply at this time, but he also felt the sting in his heart.

"Da Lang......" The old housekeeper saw that Gu Xiuyuan was silent for a long time, for fear that something would happen to him again, so he couldn't help but call softly.

Hearing this, he looked up at the old butler.

Yes, I still have Uncle Ze, as well as the property and stewards and servants that my father gave to me in this Gu Mansion, these people have followed my father for many years and are loyal.

Father is also in order to keep this family, he can't be decadent, he has to work hard, work hard to make himself a higher person, so that the Gu family can stand proudly in the **** northwest region, and no one can take it at will.

It's not just for himself, it's about making his father's sacrifice more valuable.

Gu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and said to the old housekeeper: "Uncle Ze, go and rest, I estimate that I will have to go out tomorrow, and I will come back at the end of the month, I guess I will trouble you to help pack up."

The old housekeeper wanted to ask Gu Xiuyuan, but seeing that Gu Xiuyuan didn't mean to tell him, he swallowed his words, nodded, and withdrew.

Gu Xiuyuan actually didn't want the old housekeeper to worry, so he didn't tell him what he was going to do.
