"What are you doing!" Gu Yuehuan was pulled out by Gu Chuyu for a long time, and finally shook off her hand and asked angrily.

"Why do you have to get along with Gu Changning?" Gu Chuyu looked at her and frowned and asked, "It's not that you don't know that she has a hard temper and is not easy to mess with, you must go to her for trouble if you don't give up, why are you?" ”

"Gu Chuyu, don't think that you can teach me a lesson if you are one year older than me, you really don't know what you are thinking?" Gu Yuehuan clasped her arms with her hands and sneered, "Don't you just watch Brother Lobby study well, and the chance of getting ahead in the future is high, and you want to take advantage of the good relationship with them now, so that you can get a little more light in the future?" Don't talk as if you care about them. ”

"Isn't that what I think? Brother Lobby is not only Gu Changning's brother, if he is out of luck, wouldn't it be a help for us? Gu Chuyu did not deny it, and looked directly at Gu Yuehuandao.

Gu Yuehuan didn't know what she was talking about, she just thought that what she said was that Gu Huai'an could help her family after taking the imperial examination, and she was even more disdainful when she heard the words: "Are you dreaming?" Several of our families have such a big trouble with the uncle's family, even the uncle's death at home only let your aunt take a look, just pretending to save face, if the lobby brother really passed the exam, do you think he will want to help our family? Besides, grandma has always disliked them, you are so anxious to please them, aren't you afraid that I will tell grandma? ”

Gu Chuyu didn't care about her coercion, and she knew that she didn't understand what she was talking about, so she didn't bother to explain to her, she only said: "Even if Brother Lobby doesn't really want to help us, but if he wants to be an official, then he has to help, no matter what Grandma says, he is also his nominal grandmother, he can't be unfilial, besides, if Brother Lobby is really admitted to the imperial examination, I'm afraid that the first person to change his face will be Grandma, don't believe it, let's see." ”

"How is it possible, grandma scolds Brother Lobby's family at every opportunity, how can she please them." Gu Yuehuan didn't believe in such a possibility at all.

"We'll find out when the time comes." Gu Chuyu didn't explain too much to her, anyway, she couldn't understand it, the more she explained, the more confused she became, it was better not to explain at all, "Besides, even if you go and tell Grandma, I'm not afraid, as long as I don't admit it, Grandma won't believe you." ”

The reason why the Gao family doesn't like the uncle's family now is related to Grandpa's original match.

I heard that at first, Grandpa's mother took a fancy to Grandma, but Grandpa himself fell in love with Uncle's mother, and at his insistence, Grandpa's mother could not resist her son, so she could only agree to Uncle's mother to enter the door.

Later, the original grandmother gave birth to an uncle and died of illness a few years later, and the grandmother entered the house under the auspices of the grandfather's mother.

But because she is a stepfamily, she has to perform a concubine ceremony in front of the tablet of the original grandmother every year during the worship, which makes the grandmother very dissatisfied and unconvinced.

Gradually, this dissatisfaction and disbelief became resentment, hating why she didn't die earlier, and died before crossing the door, so that she didn't have to perform the concubine ceremony.

That's why I dislike Gu Shan's family so much.

But if Brother Lobby can become an official, for the Gao family, Gu Huai'an is a stepping stone to help her family, and she is naturally willing to give a good face.

There are a lot of people who think like grandma, and if it's not good for their own family, they treat each other with a cold face, and when they see that the other party can take advantage of it, they hurriedly make up for it, isn't it human nature?

Gu Yuehuan listened to Gu Chuyu's words, full of anger, she knew that what she said was true, as long as she didn't admit that she had said those words, even if she sued Grandma, Grandma wouldn't believe her.

Because she is too good at hiding, she always looks well-behaved and weak, no matter how much Grandma likes her grandson, she still has a good face when she sees her well-behaved and sensible.

In comparison, he is less pleasing to grandma.

Gu Yuehuan glared at her fiercely, then turned around and left without saying anything.

The person she disliked the most in this family was Gu Chuyu, who hated Gu Changning even more.

It's just because she can pretend to be too good, obviously when she was a child, she broke Grandma's favorite jade pot spring bottle, but she can directly blame her, and she also looks like a sisterhood and says that she wants to take the blame for her, but Grandma who was attracted by the sound of the bottle breaking to the ground listened to it, and Grandma punished her at the time, and convicted her without asking.

Gu Yuehuan knew from that time that Gu Chuyu had never been as harmless to humans and animals as her appearance revealed.

This is a poisonous flower, and if you are not careful, you will be contaminated by her.

At that time, she was only five years old when this incident happened, and Gu Chuyu was six years old, Gu Chuyu always thought that she didn't remember it anymore, but in fact, she remembered it very clearly and remembered it deeply in her heart, and it was precisely because of this incident that she had been wary of Gu Chuyu since she was a child, and she was even more disdainful of the softness she showed.

Gu Chuyu saw Gu Yuehuan turn around and leave with a blank look, and she also went back with her, her steps were unhurried and maintained within a certain range, her eyes were dark, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

***

"Boss, Aunt Zhou's case can be closed!" Li Yuansan, who had been in Yizhuang all night, looked at Xue Mingkai in high spirits, his eyes that had not slept all night were shining brightly at the moment, and he didn't care even if there was an unspeakable smell on his body, and his eyes were burning.

Xue Mingkai looked at Li Yuansan, who was unconsciously approaching him, with a disgusted expression on his face, holding his own saber in front of him, refusing Li Yuansan's approach: "You go back to take a bath first, smell what you smell!" ”

Li Yuansan was expressionless in an instant, and looked at the head with a black line: "Boss, you still dislike me, you have a heavier smell than me!" ”

Anyway, he was far away from Aunt Zhou's corpse all night, almost leaning against the wooden pillar in the house, but the leader stayed by Mrs. Zhou's side all night, and the smell on his body was sky-high, and he didn't say anything!

"So go back and wash first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Xue Mingkai said expressionlessly, and then took advantage of the fact that there were not many people on the street at dawn, and went back to wash it with a smell.

When Li Yuansan saw that the head was gone, he also hurried back to clean himself up, and then fell asleep deeply, until he was woken up by hunger.

"Where have you been here, why do your clothes smell so heavy, you fell into the pit?" Mother Li was washing Li Yuansan's clothes, and when she saw him walking out of the house with a worried face, she shouted in a high voice.

"There is no pit, it has fallen into the pile of dead people." Aren't there all the corpses in Yizhuang that no one has claimed, Li Yuansan yawned and said, "Is there anything else to eat in the A-Niang stove room?" I'm getting hungry. ”

"I left you a few steamed buns and side dishes, just put them in the pot, you can take them yourself." Mother Li didn't have time to ask him what happened when he fell into the pile of dead people, so she hurriedly said.

"Okay." Li Yuansan went to the stove room to fill his stomach.

While eating, I didn't forget to think about Aunt Zhou's case.

The cause of Zhou Damiang's death was found, and the reason was that three slender needles were inserted / into the top of her head, and the needles were completely submerged / into the skull, judging from this strength, it can only be a man.

Of course, there are also women whose arm strength is no less than that of men, but the only women in the Zhou family are Zhou Damiang and her daughter-in-law, they also learned about it when they investigated in the Zhou family, Zhou Damiang's daughter-in-law is thin and can't do too heavy work, it is precisely because of this that she is often scolded by Zhou Damiang, and she doesn't dare to reply a word, and she looks very submissive.

Such a person, even if he wants to do something, needs a helper.

And they also inquired clearly, on the night of Aunt Zhou's accident, the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family stayed with her daughter Sister Lian until she went back to the room at night to rest, and there was no time to commit the crime at all, so it could be ruled out.

The remainder...... Then there are only the Zhou family and Uncle Zhou.

In fact, Aunt Zhou gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and Erlang of the Zhou family is not living with them now, but lives in the town because he was passed on to Uncle Zhou's brother.

As for Aunt Zhou's daughter, she married into a neighboring village, and it is impossible to commit a crime.

Li Yuansan was eating steamed buns, thinking about this matter with all his heart, and he couldn't wait to come soon tomorrow, so that the leader could answer what was going on in this case.

In this way, after dark, the next day, when a ray of morning light poured down through the clouds, Xue Mingkai had already finished dressing up and appeared at the gate of the yamen to count the people who went to Xinghua Village.

When Xue Mingkai was still pointing people, Li Yuansan had already consciously squeezed into the group of people who were ordered, looking calm, as if he had been selected.

Seeing him so conscious, Xue Mingkai paused, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at Li Yuansan.

Li Yuansan looked at the shops around him, and his body also turned, leaving the back of his head to Xue Mingkai, and pretending to look at the scenery, which made the corners of Xue Mingkai's mouth twitch, but he still went with him.

Although he didn't plan to take him with him, since he was willing to make this trip, let's go together.

Xue Mingkai rushed to Xinghua Village with four officials and a total of five people, and after they left, there were two people standing at the entrance of the yamen, one of whom was a middle-aged man with a mustache looking at Xue Mingkai's back with gloomy eyes, full of unhappiness.

"Master, then Xue Mingkai is an errand runner, why do you care about him as a little person?" Another young man in a headcatcher costume said.

Qian Zheng said coldly in the direction where the group was gone: "What do you know, this Xue Mingkai is used to doing superficial work, his behavior that seems to be for the sake of the people has won the hearts of everyone, and his reputation has already overshadowed me, if this continues, I am afraid that my position as a master will not be guaranteed." ”

The person who has spent the most time with the county lord is him, can't he see that in the lord's heart now, Xue Mingkai's status is about to be higher than him, if this continues, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his job!

"But doesn't the county lord like Xue Mingkai very much?"

"Hmph, it's one thing to dislike him, it's another thing to use him." Qian Zheng sneered, "The county lord is not stupid, why not use what can be used, as long as he can use him to enhance his prestige, whether he likes it or not, it is a good cat." ”

"That'......" the young man frowned, his face worried.

"Don't worry, I've figured out how to deal with him." Master Qian had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Didn't a child be lost some time ago?" Since Xue Mingkai is so willing to contribute to the people, then let him be in charge of this case. ”

Most of the lost ones are children from poor families, and if they are recovered, there is not much oil and water to fish, so it is just right for Xue Mingkai!
