Wenxing Study.

Early in the morning, as soon as He Yongliang opened the door of the store, dozens of people poured in.

This only happened on the opening day.

"Huh? Gu Gongzi hasn't come yet? ”

"Yes, we want to see Gu Gongzi......"

After these people entered the store, they didn't read books or paintings, but they clamored to see Gu Ming.

As a result, He Yongliang was even more suspicious, and asked humbly: "Everyone, ...... What is the matter with Gu Gongzi? ”

A middle-aged woman couldn't help but preemptively say: "Hey, you are a commentator, you don't know such a big thing?" ”

"Look at you, you're still friends with Gu Gongzi, you don't even know ......"

"Failure!"

"That's it, we've all heard about ......"

When everyone was clamoring and shouting, people from outside came in one after another, and the store became more and more crowded.

Just when He Yongliang was at a loss for words in a cold sweat, Dong Sheng ran back with a bag of oil cakes.

When he saw that the store was crowded, he didn't feel strange, but shouted at He Yongliang: "Wen Xing did a big thing yesterday and destroyed a demon ...... in Yuantong Town."

So that's it!

He Yongliang breathed a long sigh of relief.

He wouldn't make a fuss about Gu Ming's demon slayer, after all, it wasn't the first time.

But these people like to join in the fun.

The last time Gu Ming eliminated the cat demon, it was not hyped up for many reasons.

But this time is different.

Many people at the scene witnessed Gu Ming's demon extermination, and then passed it on by word of mouth, adding material layer by layer, and it was even more miraculous.

"By the way, do you still have Gu Gongzi's calligraphy and paintings for sale in your store?"

Someone asked in a loud voice.

He Yongliang nodded subconsciously: "Yes, there is still a part of ......"

There are indeed more than 20 calligraphy and paintings in the shop, which are left over from Gu Ming's previous stalls.

"Quick, I'm going to pick one!"

The man didn't even ask the price, as if he couldn't wait.

This alerted the others, and they suddenly rushed up.

"I'm going to pick a ...... too"

"Don't squeeze don't squeeze...... Quick, I don't choose, just give me a ......"

He Yongliang and Dong Sheng glanced at each other, couldn't help but smile, and sat on the ground on the spot.

"Everyone line up, come one by one, one or two pieces of silver and a ......"

"So expensive?"

Someone asked weakly.

As a result, the people at the back of the platoon immediately shouted: "It's too expensive to go to the back of the platoon......"

More than 20 calligraphy and paintings were quickly snatched up, and those who didn't grab them were naturally unwilling, and asked hard when they could still buy them.

At this time, Gu Ming was sitting in the county office, as if the stars were arching over the moon.

Yesterday the demon was destroyed, and the squires of Yuantong Town were grateful.

In addition, I heard that Gu Ming was the beloved son-in-law of the county magistrate, and he was extremely positive, and in the afternoon, eight squires rushed to the county seat and jointly visited the county magistrate.

In this regard, Nie Hongshu had a light on his face, so he sent someone to summon Gu Ming to the county government early in the morning.

Several squires followed, one by one expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

"Gu Gongzi, if you hadn't taken action to subdue the demon in time this time, Yuantong Town would have been bloody......"

"Yes, Gu Gongzi is the life-saving benefactor of the people in my town!"

"Please wait for me......"

"You don't have to be polite!"

Gu Ming stepped forward and lightly raised the arm of the leader.

At this time, Nie Hongshu was not very pleased, and stroked his beard and smiled.

In fact, this incident not only made his face shine, but also had an impact on his political achievements that could not be ignored.

After all, it was the big temple fair in Yuantong Town at that time, and at least thousands of people stayed in the town.

Once that youkai escapes ashore, the consequences are unimaginable.

Once the matter is big, Nie Hongshu, as a county parent official, will naturally not be exempt from responsibility, and will inevitably be punished by his superiors, and may even lose his position.

Now it's the opposite.

He has reported the matter to the government and believes that his superiors will definitely reward him.

"Lord County Order, we have already discussed, and we will definitely ask the craftsman to customize a golden plaque for Gu Gongzi when I go back......"

"Hehe, you guys have a heart."

"In addition, we have jointly pooled three hundred taels of silver, and I hope that the lord will award it to Gu Gongzi in the name of the county government to show our meager heart."

That's where their cleverness comes in.

It's the same to give silver, but the meaning of this wrapping around the hand is very different.

It can be said that all three parties have face.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but smile and bowed: "Well, you are very thoughtful. ”

My father-in-law said so, and Gu Ming naturally couldn't push it back, so he arched his hand with a smile: "Then thank you for your kindness." ”

"It should be, it should be."

"I'll book a table of wine in the Drunken Immortal Building, and I hope that the county magistrate and Gu Gongzi will enjoy a few drinks."

Needless to say, it's polite.

In the afternoon, a notice was posted outside the county office, attracting many onlookers.

"Look, what am I talking about? Now even the government notice says that Yuantong Town is in trouble with demons......"

"It's too scary, I heard about the demons in the city last time, and many people thought it was a rumor."

"I didn't expect Gu Xiucai to have the ability to catch demons, I underestimated him before."

"What Gu Xiucai? Now I have to call Gu Gongzi ......"

On the notice, it was also specifically stated that the squires of Yuantong Town gathered three hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift to show their gratitude.

This is enviable.

After all, three hundred taels of silver is for ordinary people, I'm afraid they won't be able to earn so much in a lifetime.

The other side.

Gu Ming returned to the study with a red face full of drink.

"Gu Gongzi~"

"Oh, Gu Gongzi, you're back~"

"Gu Gongzi, I want to ask for a ......"

Look, now it's not called buying, it's called "begging!" ”

Seeing more than a dozen people rushing up with enthusiasm, Gu Ming was a little stunned for a while.

"Wenxing ......"

He Yongliang squeezed into the crowd like a slippery loach, dragged Gu Ming out of the crowd, and whispered, "Pretend to be drunk first, and I'll tell you the details later." ”

As soon as he heard this, Gu Ming immediately stroked his forehead: "It's a bit top, I'm sorry, I'll go and rest for a while." ”

"Yes, yes, Gu Gongzi may have drunk too much, so it's better for everyone to come back tomorrow, or you can pick a few books and go back and read them slowly."

Dong Sheng cooperated tacitly and stepped forward to comfort.

At the same time, He Yongliang pretended to help Gu Ming walk towards the inner hall.

As soon as you enter, you close the door.

"What's going on with these people?" Gu Ming couldn't help but ask.

"You don't know if you dare to love?" He Yongliang suddenly became energetic: "The news that you killed the demon in Yuantong Town yesterday has already spread.

These people are here to buy your calligraphy and paintings, saying that hanging them at home can ward off evil spirits......"

"Haha, I see."

"Don't laugh, it's a business opportunity...... This morning, the calligraphy and paintings left over from your previous days were all gone, guess how much it is? ”

Gu Ming blinked and hesitated: "Two hundred Wen? ”

"You can be a little bolder."

"Two hundred taels?"

He Yongliang: "......"

The span of this guts is inevitably too big.

"Hahaha, don't sell it, how much?"

He Yongliang said with a mocking face: "Fortunately, I was witty, and I opened my mouth for one or two, but the result was still empty...... Hurry up, write a few more and hang them. ”

As a result, Gu Ming shook his head: "Scarcity is expensive, and writing too much is worthless." ”

"Uh...... Also to ......"

He Yongliang was thoughtful.
