When Qingshu arrived at the small flower hall, the big butler happened to be reminiscing about what had just happened.

The chief butler said, "Old lady, there are twelve of them here tonight, and ten of them have died. ”

Old Madam Gu said, "After dawn, send these people to the yamen." We can't slack off tonight, and the main courtyard and Wisteria Garden have sent people to patrol. As for the remote courtyard, let someone inspect it tomorrow. "The house is small and large, and there are many empty houses.

The chief butler nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

When Mrs. Gu was about to go back to the house, she saw Qing Shu's face changing dramatically when she saw Qing Shu who was hiding behind and eavesdropping: "Qing Shu, why are you here?" ”

Qingshu explained; "Grandma, I'm not worried about coming over to have a look. Grandma, why don't you kill the remaining two thieves as well? ”

The killing was said so easily that Old Lady Gu's eyelids jumped: "Qingshu, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid." She's killed people herself, and there's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm not afraid to kill, and I don't know if it's good or bad if I'm so bold.

Mrs. Gu asked Qingshu to go back to sleep, and seeing that she didn't want to put on a straight face, she said, "Be obedient, hurry back to sleep, grandma can handle the affairs here." ”

Qingshu reluctantly returned to the back room.

Gu Xian was about to go to Qingshu, but when she saw her cold face, she said, "It's so dangerous outside, how can you run out?" If you want to have three long and two short, how do you let your mother live? ”

Qingshu didn't dare to refute, and honestly climbed into bed.

After getting into bed, Qingshu looked at Gu Xian very calmly and couldn't help asking, "Mother, aren't you afraid of thieves coming outside?" ”

Gu Xian smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?" There are guards and family members, and those thieves can't get in. ”

Qing Shu was very strange and asked, "Mother, the servants in the family are all old, can they beat those thieves?" ”

Gu Xian chuckled and said, "Don't look at their age, they were all good hands when they were young, and your grandfather relied on them to protect them back then." It's just that when they are old, they stay in the house to retire. ”

Qingshu really didn't know about this, she asked in surprise: "Mother, since you followed your grandfather to the north and south, you should have made a lot of money?" Why did they stay in the house as servants? And do they have no children? If you have children, how can you agree to let them continue to stay in the house as subordinates? ”

"After your grandfather died, your grandmother returned the deed of sale to them. Most of the people are gone, and these people who have received the great favor of your grandparents have stayed, saying that they want to protect our mother and daughter. ”

Orphans and widows guard a great inheritance, and if there is no one to protect it, it will not be swallowed up.

Qingshu said very adoringly: "Mother, grandparents are so powerful." ”

It's a pity that her grandparents are so powerful, but her mother and Gu Heping haven't even learned a little bit of skin.

Gu Xian said: "It's also your grandparents who treat them sincerely, so they will protect each other like this." ”

Qingshu nodded.

At dawn the next day, the chief housekeeper took two living mouths and ten corpses to the county office.

Jiao Xing got Qingshu's order and went to inquire about it early in the morning.

After Qingshu finished practicing, Jiao Xing told her the news she had heard: "Girl, the big housekeeper has brought ten carts, and one cart has a corpse in it. The other two who did not die were tied up by Wuhua and taken to the yamen. ”

made such a big formation, as if he was afraid that others would not know about it.

Qingshu was a little puzzled, and asked the old lady Gu: "Grandma, the government knows that we have killed so many people, will it come to us for trouble?" ”

These people are hateful, but they just come in and steal and they haven't succeeded. And Gu Fu killed them. If they are powerful and powerful, it is fine, but their family is now orphaned and widowed, who knows if the county order will take the opportunity to make trouble.

Seeing that Qingshu was worried, Old Lady Gu said with a smile: "Don't worry, these thieves broke into the door and wanted to kill people and take money." If we don't kill them, are we still waiting for them to come and take our lives? ”

"Ah......h

Didn't you climb a wall and come in and steal something? How did it become a broken door.

If you climb over the wall, you are a thief, and if you break into the door, you are a robber, and there is an essential difference between the two.

Old Lady Gu didn't want Qingshu to come into contact with these shady things, but thinking of Gu Xian's current appearance, she changed her mind: "Qingshu, you can't be too rigid to learn to be flexible. ”

After a pause, Mrs. Gu said, "If you just beat them up and send them to the government, they will come out after three or five years in prison." Those little ones know that the price is so small, and they will definitely come again. Qingshu, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. ”

People inevitably have negligence, and if they are exploited, they will regret it. The only way to put an end to this scourge is to use thunder.

Qingshu understood and said, "Grandma wants to use this to deter those people?" ”

Old Lady Gu nodded and said, "I want to let them know that if they dare to beat my family's idea, I will let them have no return." In this world, there is no one who spares his life. ”

Qingshu hugged Mrs. Gu tightly. Her grandmother was so powerful, but she died in her own family, so it shows that the gun is easy to block and the arrow is difficult to prevent.

Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Qingshu's eyes. Yuan Shanniang and Gu Heping have nothing to do with their grandmother now, but the person they bought is still in the shadows. Only by finding out this person can she feel at ease.

It's easier said than done. The person who can do something to her grandmother must be a caring person, and she must be a person that her grandmother can trust. If there is no conclusive evidence, it will be shocking to say it.

Old Lady Gu lowered her head and looked at Qingshu's frowning: "Qingshu, grandma will handle these things, you don't need to worry." ”

Qingshu said: "Grandma, there is only one Jiaoxing by my side, and there are too few people. Grandma, I want another maid. ”

Old Lady Gu said with a smile: "I have always wanted to pick another maid for you, but I am afraid that you will not want to." Two days later, I asked someone to pick a few maids from the Zhuangzi to come up. ”

Qingshu nodded, and then asked, "Grandma, I asked you to find me a guard who knows martial arts, why haven't I heard from me yet?" Isn't it hard to find? ”

Old Lady Gu didn't hide it from Qingshu: "It's hard to find." Those who have real ability are not willing to do the work of serving. ”

Qingshu was a little puzzled: "Grandma, I just let them protect me, not let them serve me." ”

"For them, following you closely is no different from selling yourself as an old mother and maid."

Those who have the ability are more arrogant, and they would rather make less money than be locked up in the back house all day.

Qingshu thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, we will go to the capital in the spring next year." On the way, we must ask someone to protect them, so we will first ask two female guards to sign a one-year contract with them, and when we arrive in the capital, we will let them go home. ”

In fact, these words are a bit untenable, but who has always made Mrs. Gu spoil Qingshu! Not to mention the two female guards, even if Qingshu wants the moon and stars in the sky, she will try her best to pick them for her.

Old Lady Gu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter to Ah Zhong and ask him to find it in Fucheng." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Grandma, I want to ask the teacher for help." ”

Fu Ran must have had her own connections in the capital for so many years, so ask her to help get twice the result with half the effort.

Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "Okay, you can tell Mr. Fu about this yourself." ”
