Chapter 178: Follow-up to the case
Xia Ting stayed at the door for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found the second brother standing in the corner of the alley.
"Huh? Coming back? ”
Gu nodded slightly, walked towards her, and seeing that his face was flat, not as before, Xia Ting asked, "Is there any trouble in the gang lately?" ”
It's getting late, and no one usually comes at this point in time, and when the second brother enters the door, Xia Ting closes the door.
"Did you see that just now? Peach Blossom was released today, and besides, she found her beloved, it was the coachman, and he sent our letter, so it's good that they can start over. Xia Ting said with some emotion. Very few people can have the courage to take that step to pursue their own happiness like Peach Blossom.
If they are found, they will be immersed in the pig cage.
"Moreover, Peach Blossom actually said that it was I who had an impact and change on her, and suddenly felt that she was so powerful." Xia Ting was chattering in the back alone, and he could entertain himself without the cooperation of his second brother.
However, such a scene is very common, whether it is the eldest brother or the second brother, it is the woman who speaks, and the man listens quietly and echoes a few words at the critical time. Let's talk about homely ...... It's not about what is said, it's about the person who says it.
"You said yes."
Seeing the woman's appearance waiting for praise, Gu smiled warmly: "Hmm." You've always been smart. ”
"Well, it's not a matter of being smart, of course, I'm smart too. But it's not smart, have you listened carefully...... This is the ...... character" Xia Ting complained while cooking dinner for the two of them, educating each other with his thoughts.
There are not many dishes prepared today, that is, the leftovers of the noon restaurant, and it is not easy to turn the hot spicy hot pot into hot pot.
"Did the eldest brother reply?" Xia Ting suddenly remembered that the eldest brother had been away for a while, and he hadn't found it during this time, except for the initial safety letter. She didn't know if she had received her letters in the past.
Gu Jiacai's hand paused, "I didn't receive it either." But it should be this time. ”
Xia Ting rubbed the meat in the pot, held his face with one hand and said, "In the future, whether it's the eldest brother or you, I don't want you to go too far." Xia Ting frowned slightly, "Although the route has been determined, it seems that it is not dangerous, but in fact, it is really hard to say." Plans can't catch up with the changes, let alone travel far away? You say yes. ”
Xia Ting explicitly hinted between the lines, "Besides, you all have little brothers, cultivate one or two henchmen and let them go." Such thoughts are not good, but she wants to be selfish and only want to grasp the stability and happiness that can be seen.
Gu nodded and agreed: "Yes." I won't go too far. The eldest brother is also forced to do so, the goods in his hand are very important, and he must be in charge of the power before he can rest assured. Otherwise, the eldest brother is reluctant to leave. ”
Xia Ting saw the other party's playful eyes through the smoke, and turned her face, she is now invincible, what is the joke? She is no longer the person who blushes at every turn.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Hey, there's a knock on the door?" I can't really hear it, Xia Ting asked.
Gu put down his chopsticks and went to open the door.
"Excuse me. Adult, please. ”
An officer and soldier dressed in an official palace was in a serious way.
Xia Ting heard their voices inside, and immediately seized the time to pick up a few bites of food and stuffed his mouth to the brim
Dangdang.
Gu helped her wipe the juice from her mouth, "Do you want to bring something over to eat?" ”
Xia Ting waved his hand, "I still have to have a little image and face." "Familiarity is familiarity, and when it is time to talk about business, it is not child's play, this is Xia Ting's principle of doing things.
"I'm going to pack up my things, can you take the opportunity to eat something first?" Xia Ting felt that her small ideas were always very powerful at critical times, she dragged some time to eat for her second brother, and then took some gadgets she usually ate for the officers and soldiers outside to eat, bribe and bribe, be a good person, and have a good mood on both sides.
This county official is also yes, so did he call them over? What could there be? Sunny day their business is not over yet?
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Xia Ting felt his head wide.
"Oh, no, how is that possible? It's just that this is a big fuss, isn't it? You are also the principals, it is best to show your face, embody, this meaning of cooperation between the government and the people, so that the people can trust our government more, isn't it, it is also good for you. "After the old fox of the county magistrate pit them, he didn't talk about the point, and only when Xia Ting was really about to blow up his fur did he show the fox's tail.
Xia Ting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just solve it.
However, this matter is clearly a signboard for his government, which is good for themselves? It's nothing more than fame and fortune. Xia Ting felt that fame and fortune were sometimes quite tiring, but now it was enough to live a small life comfortably, free and comfortable.
Xia Ting and the second brother exchanged glances, and from his eyes, there was a taste of rejection. Xia Ting smiled, she knew how to do it.
"No, we can't fight for credit, we're just providing a small clue. Or my lord, you have a strong command and good teaching, if you don't have your well-trained officers and soldiers as the main force, how can you capture them so quickly? That's why it's you who can achieve this victory. Xia Ting was full of good words, and the sycophants snapped, "If you really want to thank us, just give us some small bits and pieces." Serving adults is what we should do. Don't forget to "fight" for yourself to get some benefits.
The county official's face did not change, touched his beard that had grown for a long time, and said, "I remember...... Gu Bang mixed well near the Liuxi River? Oops, it's been a long time since I've been there to sweep. ”
Gu: "The county magistrate has to check carefully." Our Gu Gang is also sitting upright, and we have always followed the laws of our Great Apocalypse in doing things, and of course, I also hope to get the guidance of the county officials. ”
The county magistrate still smiled lightly and didn't speak, looking at Xia Ting with a look of a god. There is no fear that the other party will not agree.
Xia Ting's smile gradually froze, slowly returning to his original appearance, ignoring the gesture in the second brother's eyes, and compromised: "You said so, we still have the right to refuse?" ”
Relatives will always be her weakness.
At all, I don't want to take any risks.
"Don't be so miserable. It won't make it difficult for you, and I don't need you to take a stand, just show up in front of everyone tomorrow. ”
I don't know his deeper meaning in the end, but I can only admit it.
When I came out, I met the eldest lady again, and the other party greeted me very cordially and talked to Xia Ting, "Oh, baby, why do you want to come over so late?" Did you have dinner? ”
Thinking of the wimply gas that I received inside, Xia Tingyan
The god flashed, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
Xia Ting immediately stepped back and covered up his inner grievances with a strong statement, "Ah, I, we only came after eating." The county magistrate has something to do with us, and we dare not delay. ”
"What's so urgent? Can't come tomorrow? "Is this too inconsiderate? How did her family become like this?
Xia Ting lowered his head and shook his head slowly, "It's too late tomorrow." The second brother has always understood the situation, and immediately cooperated with her, his eyes showed pity, and he touched her head to express comfort.
Seeing that the old lady was about to get to the bottom of it, Xia Ting hurriedly picked up the conversation and blocked her, "It's not too early, we have to go back to prepare." If you have time, let's eat something in Malatang, and I'll make it for you personally. ”
"My son! You're a wrecker! Ah Ting is such a well-behaved person......"
Before he could go far, Xia Ting heard the old lady crying, but it was just a dry howl, and there was not much emotion. Hey, the eldest lady is also an actor who loves acting, she likes herself so much, she will definitely help herself "avenge", and it will probably annoy the county magistrate for a while.
Gu Xiao followed beside him with a groan, and suddenly said, "Actually...... You don't have to say yes. If I can gain a foothold in Chunjiang Town, I will definitely be able to deal with the old fox. ”
"I know." Xia Ting blocked Xiehui, she had always known that the two brothers of the Gu family had a city government and were capable of doing great things. However, Xia Ting has her own reasons: "But more things are better than less, it's not too much of a request, don't offend him if you don't offend him." Otherwise, he is a county official, and there is always a way to get us. No matter how we are on guard, there will always be times when we are overlooked. "If you come out to do something, you can't guarantee that everything you do won't be caught.
Especially the things that the second brother is responsible for, the affairs of men and women, plus such a relationship of interests, there are more contradictions, and it is really hard to say if you grasp one thing casually.
"Tomorrow is the day when Wang Shunde and them go to the guillotine, and that scene will definitely be bloody. I'll go next to you when the time comes, and don't look at it then. With me here, you don't have to be afraid. The county magistrate didn't say it explicitly, but Gu also knew that it was that time.
Xia Ting saw the bloody scene of the guillotine on TV, but the conflict and excitement were never less than one ten-thousandth of the scene.
When they arrived, the guillotine had been cleaned up, and the smell of blood was still thick in the air. Xia Ting accidentally saw a person carrying something with a cloth, and when he looked closely, a man's eyes and hair were revealed on the cloth, fluttering and sprinkling, and blood was flowing all the way.
was stunned that he had done psychological construction, but Xia Ting couldn't help but run to the side and vomit. Back then, when she and her eldest brother faced bandits, they were not as unacceptable as they are today.
Gu hurriedly followed and asked anxiously, "How?" Uncomfortable? ”
Xia Ting was no longer reckless, nodded, and sat down on the ground beside him.
Therefore, the last person to sit on the field was the second brother.
Xia Ting was helped back to the official mansion, and when he walked to the main hall, Xia Ting refused their support and walked in by himself.
"So, her identity is really not simple?"
This is the voice of the county official, a rare tone with respect in it, and he does not dare to slack off. It seems that he is talking to someone with a higher official position than him.
"Hmm. Do what I say, promotion is not a problem. ”
