Chapter 349: The county lord is invited
Gu Pinghua asked how about today's business, Gu Zelin said truthfully, Gu Pinghua also breathed a sigh of relief, he could get his unconscious eldest brother back, so that the old man could be happy.
When the matter came to an eyebrow, she said something else, "Zelin, you listen to what your aunt told you, I know that you brought money this time, and I also said that as long as I pay for it, I am willing to help, but it is for your sake." ”
"Now that Li Zhutou said that spending money may be successful, don't worry about this matter first, you stay here for two days, and with the exact news, let's go home together, and then I will find my sister-in-law to say in person, this silver should be out of her."
"Don't think I don't know, how much advantage they took when the two families were separated, there are only a few people in the family, so much land has been divided, and my family is too busy to know that I want the second brother's family to help, I can't see it, this time something happened she doesn't want you to pay, I don't believe that their family didn't save money."
"I'm going to go back anyway this time, this wicked person won't let the second brother do it, I'll say it personally, I'm not afraid if she cries and makes trouble, I don't live in the village anymore, it's rare to go back once, she can still fight with me, who is a sister-in-law?"
"Whatever you say, let her take out the silver, and I don't know what to do with so much money, will you be at the bottom of the coffin when you get old in the future?"
Gu Zelin smiled, this aunt is really a straight person, he hasn't seen him for many years, and he has almost forgotten his aunt's fast-talking nature.
"Okay, just listen to my aunt, don't hide it from my aunt, I also have this plan, I don't like what my uncle does, now since I want to solve it with silver, I have to tell my aunt about it, if she hollows out the family and the silver is not enough, we can help make up some, and now there is really no need to worry."
Anyway, it's all discussed, if you can get the person out, you have to let him stay in it for a while, and there is completely time to go home and discuss this matter.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Changyuan and Gu Zelin went to find Li Zhutou again, and Li Zhutou was also quick to do things, so they inquired about them in the morning.
"Wu Zhixian means that if you want to get people out, you have to pay thirty taels of silver to the yamen, which is a lot, and it is not impossible to redeem the silver if someone commits a crime on weekdays, this is the rule, and three or five taels of silver can be ransomed for small things, Wu Zhixian is very angry about this, thirty taels of silver is a child that cannot be missing."
After telling them, Gu Zelin was silent, he was wondering if the Yun Clan would take out this silver.
Seeing him like this, Li Zhutou explained, "Don't worry about it, our county magistrate is a good person, and the money that ransomes will not go into his own pocket, and the yamen has made a special account, and the people in the county who are not having a good life can receive a sum of money every month." ”
"This silver was set up by Wu Zhixian himself, and it was the money used to ransom people, Wu Zhixian also said that this matter is not small, even if he takes the silver to ransom people, he has to stay in prison for at least half a month."
Gu Zelin nodded, "If you don't take the money, how long will you stay in prison?" ”
Li Zhutou said, "Then it will have to go up for a year." ”
Gu Zelin said, "We are willing to take this silver, but my uncle is really not good, we can give the silver, but we have to let him stay in prison for a little longer, half a month is not enough, one or two months will be done, but this matter cannot be publicized, I am afraid that my grandfather at home will know and feel uncomfortable." ”
Li Zhutou smiled, and he also knew his thoughts, who can be happy that there is such a person in the family? Isn't this for the sake of the old man to redeem people?
Now that I know that people can redeem it, of course, I want him to suffer.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand, I will also discuss this matter with Wu Zhixian, if you can get the silver, you can use the money to redeem people after half a month, and you still have to admonish him when you go out, if he has a good attitude, he can be exempted from the cane, otherwise he will have to be beaten on the board." ”
Even if the matter is done, they are all going to leave, Li Zhutou remembered one thing again, and said with a smile, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot, Wu Zhixian said that I want to see you alone, if you are free tomorrow, you come here, and I will lead you to the county office." ”
Gu Zelin and Lin Changyuan were both stunned, "What did Wu Zhixian do when he saw us?" ”
This is not a good thing, Wu Zhixian was upset, and he proposed to see them, could it be a reprimand?
Li Zhutou smiled, "This matter has nothing to do with your uncle's affairs, it seems to be a good thing, anyway, the adults are still laughing when they talk about it, you can relax." ”
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay if it's not a big deal, how can the little people withstand such a fright?
The next day, they came to Li Zhutou again, and Li Zhutou led them to the county government together, and with him leading the way, it was easy to get in.
This is not Lin Changyuan's first time back to the county office, he also came to buy the pond before, but he didn't go inside, this time he was the county magistrate who wanted to see him alone, naturally it was different from the previous one, Rao is he saw a lot of the world and was a little nervous.
The front of the county government is an office, and there is a small house in the back, which is where Wu Zhixian's family lives.
Li Zhutou directly led them to the study in Wuzhi County, which they had just met a few days ago. Gu Zelin and Lin Changyuan both knew Wu Zhixian, and when they saw someone, they hurriedly knelt down, "The grass people knock to see the old man of Zhixian County." ”
Wu Zhixian was writing, and when he saw them coming, he put down his pen and said with a smile, "Get up, I called you here today for a private conversation, there are not so many rules, just sit down and talk." ”
The two of them were a little nervous, and Li Zhutou smiled, "If the adults tell you to sit down, sit down, it's okay." ”
The two of them sat down tremblingly, and Wu Zhixian spoke, "I went to your village before, and I was deeply impressed, such a big village, half of the houses were built, all by your own hands, this is really not easy, I have been thinking about it in my heart these days, and I want to go and see, but the road is far away, and there are many things in the county office." ”
"Yesterday, I heard Li Zhutou say that you came to the county seat, but I wanted to ask you to come over and ask, it was not easy to repair the house by yourself before, right? The disaster was severe, but the people in the village were able to twist into a rope and work hard in one place, which really touched me, and the people of Tongxin Village were all good. ”
Because of Gu Pingyong's relationship, he also knew that the villagers in Tongxin Village were divided into two factions, and the houses that were repaired were from one side, and the other side was a different scene, and the Gu Pingyong who was arrested was also the leader over there.
This incident sounded the alarm bell for him, those who are officials must have some ability, and only when the person who takes the lead is powerful, the people below can live a better life.
