Chapter 340: The people see them off
Thinking of his appearance when he first came, Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh a little.
When Zhuangzi saw her like this, he laughed in a low voice: "You girl, you are too soft-hearted." ”
When will there ever be less calamity in this world? She gave birth to a bodhisattva's heart, and she was the most unhappy.
Hearing this, Gu Jiu looked back at Zhuangzi Period, and asked with a smile, "Isn't it good to be soft-hearted?" ”
Hearing her words, Zhuang Ziqi looked at the little girl seriously, and when he saw the sincerity in her eyes, he shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, why not."
If he hadn't seen this little girl with clear eyebrows and eyes, how could he dare to ask her for help?
If he hadn't asked Gu Jiu for help that day, I am afraid that he would have become a handful of loess at this time, where would he come from now?
Thinking of this, Zhuangzi couldn't help but sigh a little.
I hope that her kindness will not cause disaster to the little girl.
As soon as he thought of this, he heard Gu Jiu snort, and immediately raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Jiu looked outside, heard his words, pointed outside, and his voice trembled a little: "Master, look." ”
The county seat of Deng is not big, and it is almost at the gate of the city at this time.
In the past, the city gate was full of people coming and going, but it was also a quick pass, but today it is different.
It was a fine day, the sun was shining, and hundreds of people were standing at the gates of the city, and they surrounded the place.
And each of them carried something in his hands.
More or less, big or small, eating, drinking, dressing and playing, no one is empty-handed.
Even though he hadn't come closer, Gu Jiu suddenly felt blessed and understood what these people were waiting for.
Wait for them.
"What are you doing here?"
Bai Wuyuan got out of the car first and asked.
Seeing Bai Wuyuan coming down, the man led by him immediately stepped forward and said excitedly, "My lord, we are here to see you off." Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other again, but what you and Lord Qin did for our Deng County will be unforgettable for our people! ”
As soon as he said this, the people behind him responded one after another: "Yes, my lord, we don't have anything else to show up, you are leaving today, we brought some of our own things, and we want to talk about it." ”
Everyone was gossiping, and even the older old man said in a trembling voice: "The old man thought that he would not be able to see the blue sky and tomorrow in this Deng County until he died, and he didn't want God to open his eyes, so let a few adults come to get rid of the traitors and bullies, and return our people to a piece of peace and health!" Thank you, old man! ”
After receiving the emperor's holy decree yesterday, the first thing Bai Wuyuan did was to drag out Li Wu and the others in the prison, and beheaded them at the entrance of the vegetable market at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Gu Jiu didn't go at that time, but he learned from the mouths of his subordinates that the people of Deng County could be said to be rubbing shoulders one after another, surrounding the entrance of the vegetable market, and everyone watched with joy as those bullies were brought to justice.
The group of bullies was beheaded for public display, which can be described as very happy. While the people were happy, they naturally became more and more grateful to Bai Wuyuan and the others.
Today, when they learned that they were leaving, the people packed up their valuable things from their homes early in the morning and wanted to express their gratitude.
Bai Wuyuan had never seen such a situation, he was surrounded by the people at this moment, and in the face of the kindness on their faces, he was a little cramped for a while.
Zhou Xuejing saw his embarrassment, and stepped forward to relieve the siege with a smile: "Fathers and fellow villagers, everyone's mind, Lord Bai understands, it's just that he is an honest official and can't accept everyone's things, please forgive me." ”
When he said this, one of the people took the lead and said, "We are not taking bribes, who do you see who bribed eggs?" Lord Bai, this is the stupid egg laid by my chicken, they all grew up eating cordyceps, and it is the most nourishing for the body. I'm afraid that you won't be able to take it on the road, and the grass people have cooked it deliberately, so you can take it as a snack on the road. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone else also began to sell what they had in their hands, and they couldn't wait to stuff it directly into Bai Wuyuan's hands.
Gu Jiu watched this scene in the carriage, feeling both moved and a little funny.
She looked at Bai Wuyuan with a narrow gaze, in the past, this person had calculated her and Qin Zheng.
Her husband doesn't hold grudges, but she is a little girl who is very small-minded, and she has long kept this matter in her heart.
Although these days of getting along with each other let her know that Bai Wuyuan himself was not bad. But it's already the limit for her not to retaliate and go back, and now let her see the other party eat deflated and not watch the excitement, there is no door!
Thinking of this, Gu Jiufu gloated a little again, holding his cheeks and looking at the scene outside.
However, she didn't gloat for long.
Because after only a moment, a sharp-eyed people spotted her, and immediately walked towards the carriage, and said with an excited expression: "Mrs. Qin, thank you for your rescue this time!" ”
That man was originally a victim rescued from the mine, but because he was infected with the Infernal Poison, he was treated in the Bohol Hall earlier.
He was also the first person Gu Jiu to diagnose and treat.
After he was ready, he came to work on the embankment, and when he came today, he bought some snacks with the silver given by the yamen.
He didn't have much money, his belongings were gone, and now the only silver money in his hand was used to buy snacks, and he planned to give them to Gu Jiu and Bai Wuyuan to show his gratitude.
This thing is a little shabby, so he was also a little Hao Ran when he sent it: "These things are too few, don't mind, wait for me to earn money another day, buy some valuable, and send them to Shangjing." ”
These nobles must not look down on these, but this is already all he has.
And after the others learned that this was Gu Jiu, they all stepped forward one after another.
These days, the matter of Gu Jiumiao's benevolence has long been spread, but most people only know that this Lady Qin is a skilled and kind person, and they have not really seen her appearance.
After learning about it at this time, they all came over to thank them.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu felt more and more sour in her nose, she nodded in response, got out of the car first, solemnly took the person's snacks, and said again: "I'm just a little bit of a hand, and you don't have to take it to heart." Although Deng County has been affected by the disaster this time, as long as everyone works together, I believe it will get better and better. ”
She spoke so softly that the crowd fell silent.
After seeing her take the snack, the others also hurried to hand over their gifts.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu didn't take it again, but just smiled: "I won't tell you that we are going to Lin County when we say goodbye today, and it is really inconvenient to take these things with us." But we understand your intentions, and thank you again for your kindness, which is really well deserved. ”
Seeing this, Bai Wuyuan on the side also smiled and said: "Yes, Bai Mou's food monarch's Lu should be worried about the king, you are all the people of Xichu, and seeing your health is that the official has done his duty, if you are grateful, thank me for the blessing of Xichu Mingjun." ”
As soon as these words came out, several officials immediately took the lead and said: "Long live Emperor Xie Wu." ”
With them taking the lead, everyone also followed and saluted in the direction of the imperial city.
With such a grand occasion, Gu Jiu's eyes were a little red, she took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for sending us off, let's leave first." ”
Seeing that they were leaving, those people spontaneously gave way to it, but a little girl ran over, and when she arrived in front of Gu Jiu, she smiled innocently: "Madam, these mud aunts will not be bad, my father specially pinched them as a thank you gift, you can accept it." ”
The little girl's eyes were full of smiles, Gu Jiu saw that she was holding two small boxes in her hands, and not far behind her was a cramped middle-aged man, seeing Gu Jiu looking over, he smiled very shyly.
The little girl was only a teenager, and she had some difficulty holding the box in her hand, seeing this, Gu Jiuyin reached out and took it, and thanked him with a smile: "Okay, thank you, I will take it well." ”
Seeing that she had given out the gift, the little girl suddenly laughed happily, pointed to the two boxes again, and said, "These two are exactly the same, one for you, one for Lord Bai, thank you for everything you have done for the people of Deng County." ”
The child's eyes were full of innocence, and Gu Jiu's heart softened, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
After saying this, Gu Jiu accepted the gift, watched the little girl happily return to her father, and got the other party's praise.
She felt softer and softer, and after thanking the people again, she got back into the carriage.
